Going to the Rear.

In one of the fights in the Shenandoah
Valley between Sheridan and Lee, a
Confederate officer discovered two of
his men supporting third to the rear.
Something in their conduct aroused his
suspicious, and riding up to them he
called out:
"Where are you men going''
Taking this man to the rear" was
the reply.
What the matter with him?'
"Wounded?'
..Where?" Numbered the officer, as
he drew his sword.
II Dunno answered the man, as he
tucked his head for bullet from the
Federal lines 'sJust as soon as we kin
git back yere behind the hill we're
bound to find out whether she'll has

Curing Bacon.

There are two ways OF cnring bacon
by the dry, or the picking process.
The former is the most trouble, but
does away with the necessity of bar
rel. The bacon should be weighed out
into lots of 100 pounds, and six pounds
Of salt, one ounce of saltpeter and two
quarts molasses should be set apart as
the quantity required for curing it. If
it is to be picked, after the ingredients
are thoroughly mixed small quantity
should be sprinkled on the bottom of
the barrel, and layer of meat placed
upon it; more of the mixture should be
sprinkled on this, to be followed by
another course of meat until the whole
is firmly and snugly packed, when we'll
water enough should be put in to cover
it. After remaining for six weeks, the
meat should be taken out and smoked,
and then each piece sewed up in mus
in bag and hung up in a dry place, or
if it is designed to keep the bacon for
considerable length Of time, it may be
packed in dry salt and the barrel head
ed up. To cure by the dry process the
meat should be spread upon the table.
and the mixture rubbed in on the flesh
side, with as much adhering to the
meat as possible, after which it should
be piled up snugly with the flesh side
up and allowed to remain in this condi-
ton for three days, when it should
again be rubbed and piled up as before.
This process should be followed up
until the whole amount of the mixture
set apart for the curing is exhausted
After remaining in the pile until the
salt is absorbed which may be known
by the appearance of the meat-it may
be smoked and treated as mentioned
above. The above recipe is intended
for light bacon; heavy bacon will re-
quire pound or more of salt per 100
pounds of meat, and longer time for
the salt to be absorbed when cured in
the dry state.-F. D. Curtis, IN N. Y

Making Coffee.

I wish it were possible to impress
every cook with the convictions mold
upon the subject Of boiling. More mis-
takes can be made in carrying on this
process than almost any other; things
that ought not to be boiled are boiled,
and things that ought to be are not. 1t
is easy to make these mistakes; there
comes time in baking, frying or boil
ING when injured nature revolts and
burns up. But thing may boil until
not vestige of its original condition
remains, and unless the water evapo-
rates it may 60 on boiling for hours
without reminding one by smell or
smoke that it is spoiled. Nothing sui
fers more from this treatment than
coffee. To make the ideal cup OF coffee
the almost unattainable-bro and
grind the berry at home; it is more
trouble, but the result is so satisfactory
that you will be more than paid for
your labors. Then have the water
boiling when it is poured over the
coffee. If you use the ordinary tin
cotfee-pot be sure to stuff something III
the nose to keep in the steam and fra
GRANGE (and, by the way, do not try to
use one of these for a lifetime). Our
own cofee-pot being sent to the tin
shop to be repaired, we tried the ex-
pertinent of making coffee in new tin
pail with tightly-ftting cover, and
such coffee have we had that the tin
pail has been in use q month. 1t Is OF
course little extra trouble to pour it
into a presentable pot for the table, but
it is enough better to pay. There is
nothing SO nice to settle the coffee as
an egg. Mix the egg with the ground
coffee before pouring hot water on. Ii
eggs are expensive, you may economic
by measuring the coffee for two morn
ings and dividing the egg; or mix the
coffee, adding little cold water, and
divide this, taking great care to cover
that which is left very closely. Cream
adds the browning excellence, not only
to the taste but to the good looks also.
There is something magical in the ra-
pidity with which the dark, uninviting
| liquid is changed into a lovely brown
by a generous spoonful of cream.

get it must use scalded milk in which

Indian Names.

Nomenclature among the Indians is
apt to be exceedingly bewildering both
to themselves end everybody else,
from the fact that one name, whether
of person or a thing, never has the
slightest distinct relation to another.
The uncivilized have evidently never
met with the necessity of permanently
identifying members of the same
family; and in permitting the young
man, Just warrior grown, to choose a
name for himself, or compelling him
by persistencv either to keep the
one he received before he knew it, or
to accept the cognomen chosen for him
by his associates, they are certainly
carrying their ideas of native freedom
to the utmost limit. To one unac-
quainted with the customs which
dictate these names, ridiculous and
and often apparently meaningless titles
seem absurd freaks of fancy. This
they often are, to be sure, but as fire.
quently they have significance which
honors the man, if it does not
designate his family. Ordinarily, how
ever, the appellation he receives is
obtained at random, and is likely
to be changed any time either
by the wearer or his friends. In
fact, it is quite the thing for
warrior to change his name after each
exploit. always adopting some descrip-
tive and complimentary title; or per-
Overwhelmingly for HMM case
of failure in an expedition, cowardice
or some evidence of weakness, he has
it changed for him by his friends. All
Indians, even great chiefs, seems to
possess very remarkable fondness for
nick-naming; and while the leading
man in the tribe may insist on being
called by his own choice title, nothing
prevents his being known and desig-
mated by very different, and perhaps
uncomp linentary, name. AS deformi-
ties, peculiarities of character, or acct
dents to limb or feature often suggests
fit names, it is sometimes impossible to
know by the appellation whether the
warrior is in contempt or honor amongst
his associates. Strangely enough, too.
however far from Gathering the title of
a warrior, he is sure to accept it sooner
or later. There is single approach to
general custom in the naming of sons
by their fathers and daughters by their
mothers. Daughters names are never
altered, and as married women do not
take their husbands names there is
nothing in the appellation to indicate
whether an Indian woman is married
OF single. Monthly.

Application Of Lightning Conductors
to Buildings.

A lecture was recently delivered at
the Royal United Service Institution by
Captain Bucknill, r. E., on the appli-
cation of lightning conductors to build
ings and magazines. The lecturer, who
has been employed in testing and in
speeding number of government con-
ductors. especially drew attention to
the following among other points: Q.)
The necessity of using continuous con-
ductors with the smallest possible num-
Der of joints, and these joints carefully
soldered. (2.) The advantage of multi
pie points. (3.) The necessity of using
larger earth connections than is now
usual, and of making some OF them deep
and some shallow. (4.) The advan-
tages of iron over copper conductors.
o. The unreliability OF these cal led
safe circle advocated by some electri-
clans. (6.) The ACCESSIBILITY of pro-
yiding a horizontal collecting conduc-
tor near the ground to connect the va
rious earths with the conductors, rain
water pipes, etc. a. The need of
periodical inspection and of testing the
conductors electrically when they are
properly put up. The lecturer exhibit
ed an apparatus for testing conductors.
as well as sampes of both copper and
wire ropes. For general purposes he
recommended an iron-wire rope six
spoundslto the yard, and three pounds
SD when it was carried over the
house to two 'searths'' Oh opposite
sides. The equivalent ropes in copper
tould weigh one and half pounds re-
spectively, and cost about the same as
iron. ~.
