was of a philosophical AMI investiga-

know almost everything. lie also de-
sired To know il Immediately. He
could not wait for time TO develop his
intellect, but he crowded things and
wore out the patience of his father, u
learned savant, who was president of
n livery stable In Chicago.
One day Billy ran across the grand
sign which IL generally represented as
a tape worm in the beak Of the Ameri-
can eagle, on which Is inscribed az
Pluribus Unum." Billy of course
asked his father what "E Pluribus
Unum" meant. He wanted to gather
all the knowledge he could, so that
when he came out west he could as
sociate with some of our best men.
II admire your strong appetite for
knowledge, Billy" said Mr.. Root
"You have a morbid craving for old
hunks of ancient history and cyclope-
dia that does my soul good. am glad.
too, that you come to your father to
get accurate data for your collection.

Hams should be neatly trimmed and

Trim closely, SO that there shall be
no masses of fat left at the lowest ex-
tremity of the hams. The shoulders
may be cut in shape convenient for
packing, and they should be sailed In
separate packages from the hams.
Hams are cured by both dry sailing
and brine. When dry sailing Is en-
ployed the hams are rubbed often with
salt and sugar. Between each rubbing
they are punched up on platforms or
tables, the surface Of which is spread
with layer of salt, and each ham II
