Curing Hams aud Shoulders.

The curing of hams and shoulders is
a simple process well understood by old
farmers, but inexperienced ones may re-
gu re word or two of advice. First
neatly trim the hams; cut closely so
there will lie no large, loose masses OF
fat remaining IN folds at the lower ex-
trsmity of the ham. Hams prepared
fer the city trade are carefully selected
and trimmed to suit the demand of the
market. In some localities the shank
is left long and the edge bone taken out.
In others the ham is cut longer on each
end. the edge and part of the rump
bone are left in and the lip and
cushion are left on. These are
known as '.long-cut" hams. Shout
ders are cut more nearly square. leav-
ing in about one-third Of the blade and
the shoulder bone. The ragged edges
are trimmed and the blood-veins are
carefully removed.
Make D ckle strong enough to float
an erg: stir into this Il sufficient amount
Of sugar or molasses TO give it a slight
~ sweet taste. Cover the hams with
this pickle and let the packages stand
VIII r. the temperature is uniform and
above I ceZlng. For hams of twelve
pounds four weeks will be sufficient;
larger hams must remain in the brine
Longer. In = general way, it may he
said tina. from four to seven weeks en-
brace the extremes of time required for
dom site curing of hams, varying as to
size of the hams, temperature and time
when they are designed for use When
the hams are to be kept through the
they must not be removed from
the brine too soon.
Hams may also be cured with dry
sailing. This is done by rubbing them
oft N with salt and sugar and punching
them up on platforms or tables covered
with salt and covering each ham with
salt. When taken up to rub over with
salt, which ought to be done about half
D dozen times, have a shallow box at
hand in which to do the work.-N. y

Myths About Stones.

According to one theory it was pre-
cious stone in Parad Sc that fell to the
earth ut Adams fall. and was then lost
in the slime Of the Gelugc till it was re-
covered by the angel Gabriel. 1t WAS
originally a jacinth of such extreme
whitcness that it dazzled peoples eyes
at TIE distance of even four davs' Jour
ney. ami only gradually became black
the sins of the world. But, according
to the better OPP Mon, it was not merely
\ jacinth of Paradise, but the actual
guardian angel. who. having been sent
to watch over Adam therein, was ut his
fall, and as q punishment for not hav-
ing more dilig ,ntly executed his trust,
changed into a stone. and driven from
Paradise. but destined to resume his
angelic form when the days of the
world are all numbered and finished.

Fiction and Divorce.

A shrewd New England theologian
once intimated that sour bread is the
chief cause of conJugal infelicity, but
DR.. w. NJ. Taylor, of the Broadway
Tabernacle. said from the pulpit on
Sunday that novels which give heroic
glamour to lascivious characters have
far more to do in filling the divorce
| courts than is commonly supposed.
Multifarious forces are evidently work
ing in modern SO .iety for the separation
0. those who have bound themselves to-
gether by the most solemn of human
contracts, aad the frequency of divorce
has become SO alarming that through
out the Nation there is earnest inquiry
rs to how the evil may be abated. An
attempt to establish National Marriage
and Divorce laws is urged by many who
ought to know that there is no constitu-
tiOnal ground for such statutes, so that
an amendment to the Constitution
would be required TO compass the result
at which they aim, Numerous other
reformers are endeavoring to secure the
adoption of uniform Marriage and Di-
vorce laws by all the States, and the
success of their scheme is much To be
desired.
But legislation alone can not remove
the matrimonial ills which now find ex-
preston in the record of our divorce
courts. Persons of worthless or de-
PRAYED character can not expect felicity
in marriage, and unit young women
pay more heed TO the qualifications for
the administration of household a airs
and young men more generally acquire
the habits which will fit them for the
en- oyment of home. the desire for di-
vorce will be often felt, even if it can
not be gratified. Monsignor Capel Re
lieves that parents ought to have more
to do in marrying their children in this
country, and Miss Milford once remark
ell that she observed that marriag S de
CONVEYANCE more frequently result hap
ply than what are known as love
matches. The ia t is, As young people
are now generally brought up. they are
apt to discover when they marry that
they are bound t. persons who do no,
understand the common duties which
are indispensable to the happiness of
family. 1t will take something besides
legislation to cure the malady which is
now the subject Of such general COM
pla nt.-N \. Mai and Express.
