A large amount of beef, pork and NUT
ton is lost to farmers every season by not
being perfectly cured. Every year n large
number Ofrccipes are published M agricul-
tuTil papers for curing meat, some of which
ire Ruluuble. Some thirty years ago the
jGtahantOwn CPa.) Telegraph published a
recipe that was tried by a large number of
people and highly commended. The next
year 1t was rcpublishcd with like results,
wnercupon the paper fell into the habit OF
publishing il every season, and it claims
Lhat no person has ever tried il for curing
beef, pork, mutton, tongue, or hams and
ever afterward cured meat in any other
manner with satisfaction to himself. The
following is a reprint of the famous recipe
To one gallon of water take one and u
half pounds of salt, One-half pound of su-
gar, One-half ounce saltpetre, one-half
ounce potash. Use only a pure article of
potash il this cannot be obtained, omit it
altogether. In this ratio the pickle can he
increased to any quantity desired. Let
these be boiled together until all the dirt
from the sugar rises TO the Top and is skim
med oil. Then throw il into n tub to cool,
and when cold, pour it over your beef or
pork. The meat must he well covered with
pickle, and should not he put down for at
least two days after killing, during which
time it should be slightly sprinkled with
powdered saltpetre which removes all sur
face blood, etc, leaving the meat fresh and
dean. Some omit boiling the pickle, and
find it TO answer well, though tine opera
ton of boiling purifies the pickle by throw
ing of the dirt always to he found in salt
and sugar. If this recipe is strictly fol-
lowed, it will require n single trial to prove
its superiority over the common way, or
most ways, of putting down meat, and
will not soon be abandoned for any other.
rhe meat is unsurpassed for sweetness,
lelicacy and freshness 0i color.

.Brevlty is the Sou. of wit

The following amusing story, which was
told by Franklin, ought to be read and
acted upon by all correspondents eommu-
nicating their thoughts to the newspaper
press A young man, on commencing bust
ness, proposed TO paint over his shop win
dow, John Thompson, halter, makes and
sells hats for ready money" to which was
added the sign of a hat. One friend sug-
gested that, MS he made and sold hats, the
word halter was unnecessary. 1t was
therefore struck ont and the sign re-
manned, John Thompson, makes and sells
hats for ready money" Another friend AZ
yised him to omit the phrase "for ready
money as there would occur occasions for
selling on credit; and so the sign read
'John Thompson makes and sells hats"
It was then limited that the buyer of the
hat did not care who made it, and that the
sign would be better if it read John
Thompson sells hats" But another ampu-
tation was in store still, for a critic point
ed out the us~elessness of the phrase sells
hats" for, said he, nc one would ever sup
pose that tho hats were to be given away
for nothing" Thus at last this aspiring
tradesman commenced business, like many
worthy successors, under the modest sign

Giggling.

If there il an exasperating sound in the
world it is that made by giggling. 1t is
natural with schoolgirls, and we tolerate
it in them but, when met with in young
women Of 10 and 20, it is objectionable.
1t is frequently u Characteristic of young
men with incipient mustaehes, who think
they qualify themselves for manhood by
affecting contempt for what their elders
revere. They giggle at anything. If
they catch the eye of An acquaintance, they
gigelc if an old woman raises too soon
for q hymn, they giggle if a baby cries,
they giggle if the clergyman coughs, they
gigglc; if the plate is handed to some
one WHO puts nothing on, they giggle; if
some one near them sings ont or repeat
the responses loudly, they giggle; If the
the choir makes q mistake, they giggle.
In fact, nothing is too small or insignifi-
cant to arrest their notice and produce q
riIglc. The habit seems incurable.

All explosions of petroleum lamps are
caused by the yapor or gas that collects
above the oil. OF course n lamp contains
no gas, but Immediately OF lighting the
lamp consumption of oil begins, soon lcav-
ing n space for gas, which commences to
form as the lamp warns up, and after
burning a short time sufficient gas will ac-
cumulatc 10 form an explosion. The gas
in u lamp will only explode when ignitcd.
In this respect it is like "gunpOwdcr. Cheap
or inferior oil is always the most danger
ous The fame is communicated to the
gas in the follow ing manner: The wick tube
in the lamp burner is made larger than the
wick which is to pass through it. 1t would
not do 10 have the wick work tightly in
the burner; on the contrary, il is essential
that il move up and down with perfect
ease. In this way it is unavoidable that
space IN the tube is left along the side of
the wick sufficient for the iame from the
burner to pass down into the lamp and eN-
plode the gas. Many things occur TO cause
the flame to pass down the wick and eN-
plOde the lamp. /. A lamp may be stand
ing on the table or mantle, and u slight
puff of air from the open window or door

times n t%houghtless person puts a small
wick into a large burner, thus leaving con-
siderable space along the edges of the wick.
9. An old burner, with its ~air-draughts

thrown away, is sometimes continued in use
and the final result is an explosion.

Money One Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred years ago the students at
Harvard College paid their tuition with
live stock and provisions. The currency
of the Pilgrims was the first issue of paper
money in this country. During the Wat
of Queen Annea paper currency was estab-
lished, known rs Queen Anne war cur
rency," which became worthless. In 1775
Virginia issued II paper currency-previous
to which the clergy were paid in tobacco.
In 1715, John coleman established a bank
in Massachusetts, with land for capital,
and began the issue of loans. Other colo
MES followed, and the amount of loans by
the colonies finally reached millions
which the mother country paid oil at re-
duCed rates, TO save the credit of the colo-
MES. In l772 Congress issued paper money
to the amount of three hundred thousand
dollars, to be redeemed in coin in three
years. The colonies, or States, also issued
paper money, and soon the whole volume
of State and National currency amounted
to twelve million dollars. This currency
was taken without much question ut first,
and those who refused il were stigmatiZcd
as unpatriOtic, but in the following year it
began to decline, and in 1850 it was worth
almost nothing. A barber shop in New
York was plastered all over with Continen-
tai money and dogs were taTred, stuck over
with shinplasters, and let run the streets
for q public amusement. To Robert Nor

cd for the money. Morris, therefore, is
sued his own notes for 81 100000. Wash
ington gained the battle of Yorktown, and
CORVALLIS surrendered. Every one of these
Morris notes were subsequently redeemed.
In 1852 the bank of North America was
established with a capital of $4,000. This
was the first bank of the National Govern
ment. The date of the first silver coinage
