Curing Bacon.

There are two WAYS OF curing 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 leo 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. II
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 WELL
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 anus
lin bag and hung up in a dry place, or
if it is designed to keep the bacon for
a considerable length of time, it may be
packed in dry salt and the barrel head
ell up. To cure by the dry process the
meat should be spread upon the table.
and the mixture rubbed in on the flesh

meat as possible, after which it should
be piled mp 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 mcat-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 NJ y.

Going to the Rear.

Something in their conduct aroused his

Origin Of Some Social Customs.

In primitive States. the conquered
man surrenders himself, his weapons
and whatever of his clothing is worth
having: hence. stripping becomes a
mark of submission. Cook, for in
stance, relates of some Tahitians, ''they
took off great part of their clothes.
and put them on u.s." In another tribe
this ceremony is abridged to the pre-
sentation of the girdle only. In Abys-
sinia interiors strip to the girdle be-
fore superiors. A further abridgment
is found among the natives of the Gold
Coast, who salute Europeans by slight
" removing their robe from the left
shoulder: but even there special re-
srect is shown by completely uncover
ing the shoulder. In other tribes they
also dotf the cap. Hence, it seems that
'.the removal of the hat among Euro
pean peoples, often reduced among our
selves to touching the hat. is remnant
of that process of unclothing himself by
which in early times the captive eX-
pressed the yielding up of all he had"
Not less interesting is the explana-
ton of the origin of shaking hands.
From kissing. as a natural sign of af-
lection. to kissing the hand as 4 COM
pliment, the transition is easy, and re-
quires no further explanation; for a
stimulation of affection, no less than
submission. is an essential part of pro-
pitiatory ceremony. '.if, of two per-
sons, each wishes to make an obeisance
to the other by kissing his hand, and
each out of compliment refuses to have
his own hand kissed, what will hap
pen? Just as when leaving a room
each of two persons, proposing to give
the other precedence, will refuse to go
first, and there will result at the door
way some conflict of movements pre-
venting either from advancing; so, if
each of two tries to kiss the other S
hand and refuses to have his own
kissed, there will result a raising of the
hand of each by the other toward his
own lips; and by the other, drawing
of it down again; and SO on alternately.
Clearly, the difference between the SIM
pie squeeze. to which this salute is now
often abridged, and the old-fashioned
hearty shake exceeds the difference be-
tween the hearty shake and the move
ment that would result from the effort
of each 10 kiss the hand of the other"
Kissing, We have said, is q natural
expression of affection; and it is Curl
Gus to note the analogous manifesto
tons among animals and some of the
lower tribes of men. A dog displays
his affection for his master by licking
his hand. A eve distinguishes her
lamb by the olfactory sense. and ap-
parently derives pleasure from its exer-
else. The same sense is used among
men not only to distinguish. as in the
case of Jacob and Isaac, but also as 4
mark of affection. Among the Mon
gols, for instance, it is found rs "a
mark of paternal affection. instead of
embracing" while the Burmese .'dO
not kiss each other in the western fash
ion, but apply the lip and nose to the
cheek and make strong inhalation. y

Applications from the Story OF

DR.. Talmage's sermon in the

his recent bereavement. Taking

brook of Jabbok, he said that God

struggles. Down through the ages
we saw that there was for Joseph
the pit, for Daniel the den, tor Pc
ter, the prison, for John, Patmos,
for Christ, the cross.
