To PRESERVE SMOKED MEAT.-How often are
We disappointed in our hopes of having sweet
hams during the summer. After carefully cur
ing and smoking, and sewing them mp in bags,
and whitewashing them, we find that either the
fly has commenced n family in our hams, or the
choice parts around the bones are tainted, and
TINS the whole spoiled. Now, this can easily be
avoided, by packing them in pulverized charcoal.
No matter how hot the weather, or how thick
the flies, hams will keep, when packed so, for
will keep them till the charcoal decays. Butter,
put in clean crooks, and surrounded by pulver-
lied charcoal will never become rancid. The
recipe is simple-try il.

AN ADVENTUROUS LADY.-Miss Mari
anne North, an English lady, daughter OF
the late Frederick North, NJ P, and sis.
ter.in-law of John Addington Symondg,
may be said to have put garland about
the earth, if not girdle. For the last ten
or fifteen years she has been travelling
quite alone all over the world, everywhere
painting its rare trees and flowers with bit
of landscape to show their habitat Bearing
credentials from the Secretary of Foreign
Affairs in London, the Government houses
in all the Colonies have been open to her
and every facility afforded for the prosecu-
tion of her object, in the way of guides,
escorts and provision for her personal
comfort. She has climbed mountains, been
rowed down strange rivers or foated down,
supported by inflated skins, and been
driven through wild places in camel wag-
ons, guarded by an escort of natives.
Daring these travels Miss North has made
more than 600 studies of trees and plants
tsome of which have been before unknown
even to the botanist), and each picture
containing bit of landscape showing the
habitat of the plant. This valuable COL
lection she has presented to the Kew Gar
dens, where she has herself built gallery
for them. Miss North has Just reached
New York, via California, Arizona, New
Mexico, Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand
and Borneo. In the last named island she
was the guest of Rajah Brooke, nephew
and successor Of the late Rajah, Sir James
Brooke, whose remarkable career forms
such romantic episode in history.
