The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1878-08-16

A certain Professor in the Vienna
University, who is possibly interested in
the prosperity Of Westphalia, recently
announced that one out Of every 5 or ID
American hams contained trichinn,
while only one out Of 1900 or more Of
the hams Of Westphalia was similarly
affected. The American Consul General
at Vienna, indignant at this reflection
upon an American product, took sup
ply OF hams and interviewed the Pro-
lessor, who was forced 10 admit that he
had spoken from hearsay, and on inves-
tigation found the American hams sound
and good. II is well to have a Consul
who acts so promptly in defending the
hams OF his native land.

How TO MAKE GOOD PICKLES.
Many housekeepers are now putting up
pickles for winter use. There is nothing
so annoying or unpleasant to the thrifty
housewife as to find, on inspecting heI
pickle jars, instead of good, firm green
pickles, that she has for her labor soft
mass of tasteless, insipid stuff, unfit for
the table, rendered so most likely from
the use of impure vinegar containing
acids or other deleterious ingredients
Following is recipe taken from relia-
BILE agricultural journal which has been
tried and found correct by an old house
wife of many years experience: "Pour
boiling salt water over the pickles, using
a handful of salt to one gallon; let them
stand over night, then drain them thor
oughly and cover them entirely with
cider or wine vinegar; let them stand a
few days, then scald the vinegar, pour
it off and cover them again with fresh
vinegar cold; spice to taste; small
piece of alum may be added to improve
the color; sskeep your pickle jar well
covered, and you will haye fine and
crisp pickles for years"

How PRAIRIE Docs GET WATER
1t has always been subject of curiosity
and inquiry as to how and where prai-
RE dogs living on the prairre, far away
from any river or stream, obtain their
water. Mr.. F. Leech, formerly of Mer-
Ger county, Penn, and frontiersman
of experience, asserts that the dogs dig
their own wells, each village having
one with concealed opening. 1t mat
tiers not how far down the water may
be, the dogs will keep on digging until
they reach it. He knows of one such
well two hundred feet deep, and having
q circular staircase leading down to the
water. Every time dog waits drink
he descends this staircase, which, con.
sidering the distance, is no mean task.
In digging for water the animals dis.
play as much pluck as in resisting the
effort o. settlers to expel them from the
land Of their progenitors."

PASSING

RY WILLIAM TENNYSON HEATON, AUTHOR OF
SONGS OF THE SHENANDOAH,
Low winds are passing DER river and Isle,
The leaves float away on the stream,
The corn-lands are swaying like reeds on the
Nile,
And day fades away as dream.
Bright hours are fading too swiftly away,
The river winds on through the lea,
Bearing alike the blossoms of May,
And Autumn leaves on to the sea.
Forests are passing from verdant to brown,
AS the night drifts into the day.
The hills are gemmed with golden crown,
And summer-times passing away.
