 We regret that our Goshen correspond ent has offended some of his neighbors We hope he has no disposition to offend any one. A strong pressure has been made on us to publish the communica- tlons which appear in our columns this week. We reluctantly do so, but if we decline we might be accused of showing partiality. Now friends, if you have any petty grievances, settle them among yourselves. Please don't ask us to lend our columns to carry on controversy which ought not to exist at all-Editor Neacs.
 GREAT HARRINGTON.
 It looks as though New York was go- ing to swarm the coming season and light ln Berkshire and Litchfield coun- ties, they have been looking for places to rent or board for the last six weeks. MT John Brewer has rented his house. one barn, front yards and furniture on South Main street to New York gentle man for five months for $1,OOO. MT Hayes has rented his house on Mahaiwe street for $4OO year which seems like city prices. One of our real estate deal CTS has had more than twenty applica- tions for rent that he could not fill. This makes the farmers smile, as the city boarders make 8 market for what the farmers raise on their farms at good prices, and livery men are brushing up their carriaUas and cqrrva11a knou;oo~ that they will be wanted for trips to Lake Buel, Bash Bish and other places of attraction. Let them come, glad to see them. z,

BURNS SNUFF-BOx.

Mr. Bacon, who kept n celebrated
posting-house north OF Dumfries, was
the almost inseparable associate OF
Robert Burns. Many merry night
did they spend together over their
toddy. The bard and the innkeeper
became 80 attached to each other that
Burns gave his friend, as a token OF
regard, the snuf-box which had been
for many years his pocket companion.
The knowledge of this pledge of amity
was confined to few of their jovial
crew until after Bacon's death in 1925,
when his furniture and effects were PIT
up for sale by public auction, and,
among other articles, Mr.. Bacon's snuff
box was offered to. the highest bidder.
"a shilling" some one instantly cried.
There was a general exclamation that
the article was not worth twopence,
and the auctioneer seemed i'm haste to
knock il down, when, looking intently
on the lid, he read and shouted out,
with stentorian voice, 'sRolJert Burns,
officer OF the Excise" Scarcely had he
uttered the words before his audience
bid for it AS one man; shilling after
shilling was confusely offered for this
genuine relic of Scotland's sweetest
singer. The greatest anxiety prevailed,
while the bidding rose higher and
higher, till it was finally knocked down
for five pounds. The box was made OF
the tip of horn, neatly turned round
at the point, and the lid mounted with

EFFECT OF SALT UPON PORK.

OF the effect of food rich i'm protein
in the production of pork, Prof. McMur-
trie, of the Illinois Industrial University.
says: 1.-THE increase of protein i'm pork
will improve the quality and render it
more nutritious. The lean of meat by
reason of the acid reaction it acquires
and the presence of a small portion of
pepsin it contains becomes more tender
and digestible by breaking down the
myosin; but the methods of preservation
may have great influence upon its
quality. The digestible albuminoids of
flesh are very soluble in solutions of salt,
and the use of this agent as preserva-
tive must tend to diminish the digesti-
bility and the nuteritive value to a
corresponding extent.
The hardening OF the fibres by
salt also diminishes the digestibility,
and hence the flesh should as far as
possible be consumed in the fresh, UNI
sailed condition. On the other hand
putrefaction is to be carefully avoided.
While it is not always the case, it not
infrequently happens that virulent
poisons of an organic character are de-
veloped in the putrefaction of pork, and
many of the fatal results of its consump-
ton may be referred to this cause,
rather than to the trichine to which in
furious results of pork consumption are
often ascribed."

PREPARATION FOR MARRIAGE.

1.-The wedding chest" was the name
given generation ago in Virginia and
Pennsylvania, to bride outfit of UNI
derwear, table and bed-linen.
When girl passed her Twelfth year,
and could use her needle with skill, she
began to prepare her wedding chest.
Marvellous were the mysteries of hem
stitching, fell, embroidery and lace-work
bestowed on these snow white garments
each, as it was finished, being laid aside
for the far-of wedding.
A common Christmas gilt was deli
cately fine set of table-cloths or towels,
for the "outfit" OF little girl in panta-
lettes, who would not be allowed to
dream of lover for years. That bride
was looked upon as little better than a
pauper, who did not bring to her hus-
band enough linen OF her own making
to furnish their house.
Her mother, a generation earlier,
helped to spin her outfit, custom
brought over from England by the early
colonists I'm the South Indeed, the
word "spinster" originally meant a
woman who had spun and prepared her
marriage outfit. Another custom among
wealthy families i'm the same section
was the storing of a certain amount OF
wine, on the birth of daughter, to be
opened on her wedding day. More com
mendable was the practice OF putting
sum out at compound interest, or the
setting apart of certain number of cat
tie or sheep, whose increase was to fur
nish the dover for the little newborn
daughter.
The motive at the bottom OF these
old-fashioned customs was, that a wom-
an from her birth was regarded as a
prospective wife and mother, and the
duty of her parents was, according TO
these Old prejudices, to make her ready,
in purse, plenishing, knowledge and
housewifely skill, to be helpmeet to
her husband.
The daughter Of the bonanza king,
nowadays, whose trousseau is ordered
wholesale from Paris, and exhibited to
the reporters of the press for publication
is prepared for marriage on totally diff
ferent bases of theory and fact.
But between these two classes there
are innumerable grades of young girls
who have as small means as the old
fashioned farmers daughter, but whose
education, tastes and habits are the
same as though their fathers were worth
millions. They initiate in their weddings
and in their married life the later
fashion.

NOBODY CAN DENY.

Consumers can depend upon THE NEW
ENGLAND BAKING POWDER as being
exactly as represented. 1t is Cream of Tarte-
and Bi-Carbonite of Soda Of perfect purity,
scientifically combined; NOTHING ELSE.
The price of the NEW ENGLAND BAK.
ING POWDER justifies the use of the very
best materials. Consumers pay fair price for
the best and get it.
1t is self-evidoEt that Baking Powders rep
resented to be composed of the same materials
~ the NEW ENGLAND, and which are sold
to dealers at less than the pure materials them
selves are worth, cannot he pure.
The large demand for NEW ENGLAND
BAKING POWDER, and conseq' tent falling
off in the sales of adulterated and inferior pow
ders, has developed a spitefulness on the part
of some manufacturers and dealers. Finding
that the quality of the NEW ENGLAND
cannot be successfully attacked, new brands
and close limitations, represented to be ~ good,
are put ON the market. With these they en-
deavor to tempt dealers with low prices, and
thus impose on consumers.

THE GROWTH OF THE aRhvsR.

The Boston Herald says: A genera
ton ago the engraver used to be con-
sidered of comparative unimportance,
and he was remunerated accordingly.
Within fifteen or twenty years, however,
he has come to the front, and now he
divides both glory and profit with the
artist on a more equitable scale. The
magazines, you know, apparently con-
slider it as much Of an advertisement to
mention the engraver's name as that OF
the designer The former have thus
become much more independent, and a
great many of them, if they don't like a
drawing, won't have anything to do
with it. A proportion of the leading
cngravers are fairly well off. know Il
number OF them WHO may be worth
from $40 900 to $75 900. Yet there is
not enough money in the business to
make man rich, as We reckon riches
nowadays. The income of a tirst-class
engraver ranges, perhaps, from $1,000
to So 900 or s. 900, the average being
nearer the first mentioned figures,
while those who get the latter can be
counted upon your fingers. In an es-
Enlistment like Harper's, the engraver
who works by the week receives prob
ably from $50 to $50. The amount
paid per piece OF work, of course, varies
very much, according to the size OF the
drawing and the nature OF the subject.
Speaking in general way, the expense
of engraving drawing that costs 500
would range from $50 to 800. In the
Lady of the Lake there are two
sketches, for which Frost was paid $40
each, t at brought 1920 piece to the
engraver. II costs from 800 to $3.50 to
engrave Gibson's work. The illustrated
magazines, as | have minated, were a
potent agent in putting up the prices of
engraving by increasing the demand for
good work. should judge that the
monthly art bin of the Century and
Harper's ranges from 5000 to "a 900
and perhaps more in some instances.
The Century people, however, are pay
ing less for their work than formerly.
Three or four years ago, this magazine
had its choice of the best artists and
engravers of the country, but since
then Pyle, Frost, Gibson, Abbey, Rein
hardt and other leading artists have
been "gobbled up" by Harper's, and
work for nobody else. The engravers
are not so willing to make exclusive
arrangements, but the inducements
offered the artists are too alluring. The
Harpers, by the way, have dropped
Mast. He don't care to do much work
now, and why should he? He received
$40 900 a year for a long time, and,
having made some shrewd investments
in real estate about Central Park, is
probably worth to-day between 5000 ,00C
and $300,000 Who will take his
place? Well, understand that Mr.. A.
b, Frost is the man, and that he also
is guaranteed $4,000 year. In some
respects, perhaps, Frost's work is better
than that of Nast,3 but l question
whether he has that broad and brusqut
but effective way OF dealing with certain
classes OF subjects. Mast has tremen
dous faculty of making carieatur,
which was likeness, though in serious
work he had no rank.

AN ITALIAN HERCULES. -Cardella, an
Italian residing at Reno, Nevada, has a
spinal column double the ordinary width,
and bones and joints of similar size. He
is, therefore, though of unusual size, a
man of unusual strength:
He can lift a man of two hundred
pounds with the middle finger OF his
right hand.
The man stood with one foot on the
floor, his arms outstretched and his
hands grasped by two persons to balance
his tody.
Cardella then stopped down and placed
the third finger of his right hand under
the mans feet, and with scarcely any
perceptible effort, raised him to the
height of four feet and deposited him on
a table near at hand.
