The "Ohi0 Man - in the Orient.


As we started up street from the hotel
We enjoyed the privilege of seeing two
Japanese gentlemen meet, aud were
startled by hearing one salute the other
with "Ohio!''
"What!'' gasped, "can it indeed be
that the Ohio man is in the Orient try
ing to monopolize everything here as
we'll as in his own country? I suppose
he is waiting for the Mikado to die or
abdicate." But have discovered the
significance of the salutation now. It is
the equivalent of our good morning, .
and should probably be written
Ohaio," although pronounced like the
name Of the Buckeye state. EtvmoloQi.
Fcally, It signifies early morning, and
may, perhaps, be regarded as Japan

Always Rreaak the Sktui.

Many persons cannot safely eat 20 de-
licious and nourishing food as green
com, or even green peas: and those who
do so often suffer, unconscious of the
cause. Currante, green or ripe, raisins
or dried currants in cake, are o. bad for
some people as gravel stones. Children
suffer diarrb0a from eating small fruits.
Beans, which are among the most nutri-
tious foods, cause severe indigestion
with some, unless they are boiled to q
soft mass or porridge. There is good
reason for all this. One of the benefi-
cent provisions of nature is to secure
the widest possible diffusion of seeds.
Some are supplied with wings, as in the
thistle, and maple, etc., so thas the
winds float them to distant points. But

H0g-Kflltng Time.

The trouble with many farmers is that
they do not raise the right kind of pork.
They have not realized the fact that the
hog, like other animals, has been bred
to suit the purposes of all. The major
ity of carcasses are too large and coarse,
and devoid of quality. 1t is the object
of most farmers to grow large hogs as q
matter of economy, but economy does
not include bulk alone. Poor meat is
not desirable, nor is lard, exclusive ~
Large carcasses are crowded with fat,
the usual boast being that it is of a Ger
tain depth of thickness, but while such
meat may be suitable for the packing
houses, the point to be kept in view is
to impress on farmers that the meat for
the family should consist of that which
is interspersed with fat and lean. While
the sides are always heavy with fat, the
hams and shoulders should be full. It
is not necessary to keep the hogs small
in order to do this, but to breed for it.
Fortunately We can do so. We have the
Berkshire, with his prominent hams,
from whom to obtain.
Christmas is about the period when
the hogs on the farm are slaughtered.
Hog-killing on the farm is q different
matter from the methods pract,ced in
the packing-Eo The hog for the
farm is one that receives all the atten-
ton that humanity can bestow. nothing
being left undone for his comfort, even
ignorance of his intended fate contribut.
ing to his happiness, He is the pet of
ali, and the more he revels in opulence
and luxury, the higher he is priced, I'M
til, finally, at the proper moment, he is
dispatched without sign of mercy on
the part of bis admirers.
It is to the period of og-killing that
the farmer looks for fresh supply of
meat. The sausage machine is brought
out to again be operated, and souse,
scrapple and picked feet, are to be lux
uries again for a-short time. Boiling
lard, and packing away the carcass in
the shape of pork, besides hanging the
hams and shoulders for the smoke-house,
is again in order. Every one will be
busy, and the choice steaks, jowls and
other portions will be considered dain-
ties until they are gone, when recourse
will be had to the barrel for the picked
article, which is expected to do its part
until the annual killing again taxes
place.

How Watch Cases are MQde.

1t is fact not generally known that the
james Boss Gold HIutch Lascs really con-
tain more pure gold than nany "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of IL very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in'qansity.
These cases are made from Il to 10 karats,
and 5 or karat case is often sold for IL
or ii karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy a
watch case SO poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one SO soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the NOV enent.
1t is economy to buy Il J"'.!e< Bass cold

Hints for the Household.

an excellent brain food.
An extra mat, an old one, should be
placed in the hallway on rainy day.

several hours, then apply little lemon

SILVER, either plated or solid, should
be washed in hot suds and dried quickly
with soft cloth.
The most healthful nightcaps for
keeping the hair smooth are made out of
soft cotton and are crocheted.
A BUNCH of peacock feathers tied with
o ribbon makes pretty ornament to
hide bad spot on the parlor wall.
A PATCH should always .be put in
square or oblong, and the same carefully
dampened and pressed afterward on the

To prevent children losing their nit

The Fruit Garden.

Gather up old stakes, labels, etc and,
if no longer useful, take them to the
heap. Unfinished pruning of grape.
vines, currants, ETC., may be completed
in mild weather, and cuttings made of
the prunings. These should be tied in
convenient bundles, labelled, and
covered in the cellar with sand, or earth.
Tender raspberries must be bent down
and covered with a few inches of earth.
Grape-vines, even the hardest, will be
greatly benefited by similar treatment,
so long as the vines are young enough
to be laid down. Give strawberries yet
uncovered their winter protection of
marsh hay, straw or leaves. Leaves may
be kept from blowing away by laying
brush upon them or sprinkling little
earth over them. If new paintings are
to be made next spring, the same care
should be given to the selection of var
ieties of small fruits as is recommended
elsewhere for the orchard trees.-1mer-

of sudden death which appears to have
