From the LIS Angeles Gazette
Chinatown was thronged last night
with curious people, attracted thlther 10y
the Chinese religious toad-eating demon
stration toward All Toa. The Chinese,
with a discrimination which does honor to
the ''moon-eyed lepers, assume that they
need expect no harm from the benefcent
author OF the universe. But they recog-
nize the existence of ''cuss whom we
call the devil and they designate by the
more poetical and euphonious term of All
Toa--rcally the only instance we know of
in which that cacophonous language APP
pears for the nonce to he musical-and a.
this creature, in their eyes, Is IA sort of
embodied dcstructlvcness equal to an in
definite amount of dynamite, giant pow
der and Greek fire. they do well to pro-
pitiatc him. They take the goodness Of
the beneicent creator for granted and let
him alone. as he does them, probably.
They have erected special building in
Chinatown provided with veranda and
other etceteras. and lighted 10y gas jets.
They are Enthusiastically tony in all the
appointments and ceremonials Of this
pusillanimous appeal to the devil. They
have imported special Chinese band
from San Francisco to do honor TO the oc-
casion. and the resultant concord of sweet
sounds has already rid Chinatown of Its
last rodent and sent the gophers which
erstwhile infested the vineyards leading
to the river In search of fresh grape roots
and tender shoots new. The fanfare will
be kept up tonight. and a distinguished
Chinese ecclesiastic mas been imported at
great expense to deliver Dang up SER
mon in the most approved Chinese dialect.
At what hour the Celestial circus will OPP
en- we are not advised. but about the time
the gas jets are turned on to a full head
will be- a good season to put IN an appear
ance in Chinatown. Propitiators of the
devil would do well 10 be on hand.

NOW I LAY ME-.

Bedtime for the twittering brides,
Mother Wren has hushed 10 rest;
Bedtime for my little birdie,
Nestled closely to my breast.
Now beside me, lowiy kneeling,
Hear the lisping tongue repeat
Dear old prayer of tender mem'ry-
"Now lay me down to Sleep"
With what trusting grace, and tender,
Rosy lips petition make:
"Pray the Lord to take my spirit,
II die before I wake"
And nc thought of dread comes DER the,
As kiss her sweet ''good night
We're 30 careless Of our dxrlings
Til. I'VE lay them out oflsight.
Once again tbs brides bedtime;
Little neighbors in the tree
Hush their baby birds to slumber,
With no thought Of lonely me.
All, my mother arms are empty,
Drzped in sadness all the room,
And 10 whispered @Now lay me-
Breaks upon the twilight gloom.
Smooth and white the little pillow,
Undisturbed the pretty bed;
On the table lie her playthings,
Mute reminders of my dead.
For no more my little treasure
NV sad mothers heart may keep;
In the Heavenly Fathers bosom
have laid her down to sleep.
Down to sleep! All, year1ling mother,
Murnuring and sick ut heart,
Full of joy shall be the waking,
Where no sorrow fluids part.
There well find our garnered treasures,

Curing Hams.

Most of the hams prepared
for market are sailed too much
and are hard and flaYorless. Al
experienced curer gives these
directions: When the ham:
are nicely trimmed, rub each one
with tolcrably fine salt, and
pack in tight. Make a sweet
pickle by using one and a half
gallons of New Orleans molas-
ses or its equivalent in sugar,
and six ounces Of powdered salt
petre TO forty gallons of water,
with salt enough added to make
it float potato when it is made.
Let it stand until the scum ris-
es and it is skinned off. They
should remain in the pickle
from five to six weeks, accord
ing to the temperature Of the
place. If exposed to freezing
they will cure much
slower than in a cellar. When
the hams are finally taken out
rinse them in clear water and
hang up to dry ready for the
smoSe-housc. Hickory wood
is the best for smoking, but any
clean smoke will answer.

Thin hair is thickencd, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
foliicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophicd and decayed. But such as
romain can DO saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead Of foul
ing the hair with a pnsty sediment, it
will keep il clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
cerous, and injurious 10 the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
1t. If wanted merely for a

nothing else can be found so desir-

The Bolton Texas Journal eu-
GorSes the following from the Co.
manche Chief: 1t is erroneous io
invite everybody to immigrate tc
Texas, without discriminating as
a class or character. We want no
outlaws or desperIte men, neither
do we want poverty-stricken
wretchts who participated in the
riots last summer. We are not
sadly in need of men without
money, unless they are thorough,
practical farmers. There are
en- ugh of people in that condi-
ton, and those who have neither
money or practical farming abili
ties are requested to wait until
TIMES are easier. 1t reminds us
of the fellow who desired to cross
the ferry, but explained to the
ferryman that he had no money to
pay toll. The ferryman eyed
him askance moment, and then
said: MY friend, if you have no
money, it appears TO me it makes
darned little difference which eide

Shrinkage of Pork.


/ would like to inquire if SCI
ence has settled why it is that
some pork shripks and fries a.
way more than other pork fat
tened in the same manner. II
have agitated the question con-
siderably of late among my
neighbors, but with little salts
faction. The popular theory
seems to be that of the moon.
They do not pretend to explain
the philosophy, but think the
rule infallible; yeti am still in
credulous. Ii the true cause
oan be known, there is value in
it 10 farmers generally. The
claim is that pork shonld be
killed towards the full of the
moon not to have it shrink; al
so that the moon exercises Won
derful influences on vegetation.
Can these notions be explained
or exploded?-C. c. d., Ma
son, Mich.
These notions may be easily
explained. Certain arbitrary
rules are first adopted and those
who adhere to them remember
acutely every coincidence to up
hold them, and forget every
failure. We have cured the
most inveterate believers in
moon rules by carefully remind
ing their advocates of every
failure; not occasionally but
continuously. 1t can make no
more difference to fattening
pig whether the sun shines on
one side OF the moon or the
other side (the only difference
between new and full moon)
than whether it shines on the
east or west side Of a stone
heap ten miles off. It would be
mere conjecture for us to say
what influences change the char
acter or quality Of pork, with
out knowing anything about
the details and management.
The absurdity of ascribing
changes in weather and vegeta-
bic growth to the light on the
surface of the moon is obvious
from the fact that they are di-
verse in different parts of a
large country, from all parts of
which the moon appears the
same. Country Gentleman.
