MUTILATED CoINs-The article which has
been going the rounds of the press to the ef
feet that the Government had issued scale
of discounts for all coin with holes in them
or. otherwise mutilated, turns out to be hoax
Business men became uneasy, and actually
began to refuse them. The editor of the
Statesville Landmark wrote to the Treasury
Department in regard to the matter, and the
following is the reply:
SIR-Your letter of the 18th instant, ask
ing whether the government has fixed the
value of silver coins with holes punched in
them, has been received.
In reply have to inform you that this
department has fixed no specific value on the
coins in question, and that there is no pro-
vision of law or regulation of the department
for the redemption Of any coins so mutilated
as to be unfit for circulation. Such coins
may be disposed of as bullion at their bullion
value, which would, of course, be less than
face value and would vary according to the
degree of mutilation. j. K. UPTON,
Assistant Secretary.

Sailing BUTrER.-The best rule for salt.
ing butter is to salt to suit the taste of the
consumer There is no use of applying any
particular amount Of salt for the sake Of
preserving it, because the very slightest salt
ing is always more than sufficient for all the
effect salt can have as preservative of but
ter. Generally one ounce of salt to sixteen
ounces of butter is used But if the butter
has any undesirable flavor or is insipid, a
little more salt may be used, say one ounce
to twelve or fourteen ounces Of butter, so as
to obscure in measure faulty taste, the fla.
vor of salt being less objectional than wrong
or defective taste in butter. But if the fla
vor is very fine and full, it will not be desira-
BILE to hide it, but, on the contrary. to give it
more prominence; hence, less salt, say one
ounce to twenty of butter, will give better
effect.

A SALT CURE.--Here is simple thing
that is worthy of attention. 1t may be the
means of doing much good, and, at any rate
can do no harm: ,
John Bland, an Englishman, writes to the
New York Herald Of discovery he claims to
have made in disease and its prevention. The
letter treats Of the theory of disease germs,
their development, and new treatment for
their destruction. The germ theory of di.
sease admitted, common salt is the UNIVERSAL
panacea and antidote of germ poison. Salt
kills both vegetable and animal germs, and
the vegetables and animals, too, administered
in quantities large enough. Farmers some
times steep their seed grain in brine to kill
the vegetable germs which would destroy its
growth; the sailing process of fish and meat
performs the same office in their preservation
People who eat little salt are more liable
to contract and develope disease than those
who take mans allotted three. quarters of an
ounce daily portion of the chloride of sodium.
Bland's conviction is that salt-eating is the
thing to kill the germs of cholera, yellow
fever, smallpox or any other infectious or
contagious disease, when epidemics are around.
Salt is cheap and accessible. Two or three
ounces day in tirae of danger from disease
germs will not ipjure any body, even if it does
no good.

TO Cook 'PossUM.-Senator Garland, Of
Arkansas, was appealed to by Forest and
Stream for directions how to cook a possum.
"The bent of mind" he replied, "is that if
you would boil the 'possum in salt and red
pepper water until he is quite tender, and
then brown him we'll in an old-fashioned oven
or skillet, wherein around his body goodly
number Of potatoes are baked and Drowned,
you will have dish unrivaled and more
than Oriental, and person who could not
relish it, whether he took the possum hot
or cold, would have no celestial fire in his
soul, nor music either" As to whether a
'possum is best eaten hot or cold, the Senator
confesses inability to decide. "Rather than
miss him entirely" he added, II would try to
eat him in any way could find him, and
really am of opinion that he is better hot
or cold according to the state he is in when l
last partake of him.

A PROFITABLE USE OF TIME.

Make the most of time Some have little
leisure, but there are sundry expedients, any
one of which, if fairly tried, would make that
little leisure little longer. Most of the
men who have died enormously rich acquired
their wealth not in huge windfalls, but by
minute and careful accumulations. 1t was
not one vast sum bequeathed to them after
another which overwhelmed them with inev-
liable oppulence but it was the loose money
which most men would lavish away, the little
sums which many would not deem worth
looking after, the pennies of which you would
| keep no reckoning-these are the items which
| year by year piled up. have reared their pyr-
amid of fortune. From the money.makers let
US learn the nobler "avarice of time" One
of the longest and most elaborate poems Of
recent times was composed in the streets by a
physician in busy practice, during the brief
snatches of time when passing from one pa
| TENTS door to another. And in order to
achieve some good work which you have much
at heart, you may not be able to secure an
entire week, or even an uninterrupted day.
But try what you can make of the broken
fragments of time Clean up its golden
dusts-those raspings and parings of precious
duration, those leavings of days and remnants
of hours which so many sweep out into the
waste of existence. And thus, if you be a
miser of moments, if you he frugal and hoard
up odd minutes and halfhours and unex-
pected holidays, your careful gleauings may
exc out long and useful life, and you may
die at last richer in existence than multitudes
whose time is all their own. The time some
men waste in superAuous slumber and idle
visits, and desultory application, were it all
redeemed, would give them wealth of leisure,
and enable them to execute undertakings for
which they deemed less worried life than
theirs essential. When person says" II have
no time to improve my mind or do kind
turn to neighbor," he may be saying what
he thinks, but he should not think what he
says for if he has not got the time already,
he may get it by redeeming it.

The farm and fireside.

Preserving MEAT.-There is no good
reason why farmers and their families should
eat so much salt pork, leaving all the fresh
meat to the inhabitants Of cities and villages.
when the following method will keep meat
fresh for weeks, ever in the warmest weather.
have tried it for several years:
As soon as the animal heat is out of the
meat, slice it up for cooking. Prepare a
large Jar by scalding it we'll with hot water
and salt. Mix salt and pulverized saltpetre.
Cover the bottom of the jar with a sprinkle
of salt and pepper. Put down layer OF
meat-sprinkle with salt and pepper the same
as if it was just going to the table, and con-
tinue in this manner until the jar" is full.
Fold a cloth or towel, and wet it in strong
salt and water in which little of the salt
petre is dissolved. Press the cloth closely
over the meat and set in cool place. BE
sure and press the cloth in tightly as each
layer is removed, and your meat will keep
for months
1t is a good plan to let the meat remain
over night, after it is sliced, before packing.
Then drain of the blood that oozes from it.
1t will be necessary to change the cloth occa,
sionally, or take it off and wash it first in cold
water, then scald in salt and water as at first.
In this way farmers can have fresh meat all
the year round. l have kept beef that was
killed on the eleventh of February till the
twenty-6rst of June.
Then l packed large jar of veal in the
same way during dog-days, and it kept six
weeks. This recipe alone is worth the price
of any newspaper in the land.
