Abingdon, gave away, from the weight of snow

Breakfast Bacon.
G. P. Tilford in Farm and Fireside.

+. r anu FlTeSlue. =
The best quality of bacon is made
from pigs not over six months of
age, the object being to kill them
when the weight ranges from 100
to 160, or at most 170 pounds. The
pigs should not be extra fat, and
the spare rib lean should be left on
the ribs the bone must be cut out,
and thesides cut square and smooth.
When the bacon is to be sugar-cured,
procure some fine salt. crush the
Jumps, and rub each of the pieces
we'll, using salt freely. Bulk the
| pieces, and in three or four days
the salt will strike through, if the
meat is not allowed to become
frozen. The pieces should then be
taken and rubbed thoroughly, both
on the flesh and skin side, with
the following mixture: One-quar-
ter of a pound of pulveriZed salt
petre, one pound of dark brown
sugar Tor one quart Of lnolasses),
adding sufficient salt to form paste.
This quantity is sufficient for sew
enty pounds of meat. Pack the
pieces as snllgly as possible in half
barrels or barrels. Weight down
and pour over the same strong
brine, previously clarified by boil
ing and skimmIng it. Let this
remain on the meat for three weeks;
then take out the pieces and wipe
them dry with cloths, and hang
them not lower than six feet above
slow. fire. This should be made
of green hickory, sugar maple, or
sassafras chips, or corn on the ear,
and be kept well covered sWith
ashes, so that the materials used
will slowly shoulder away, the
object being to dry and flavor the
meat as well as to smoke it. Con-
tinue the smoking, not for a month,
until the meat is much darker than
it should be, but until it is slightly
Drowned, and the meat becomes
delicately favored by the curing
process. 1t is bad practice to
leave the meat hanging in the
smoke-house to be treated with a
heavy dose of smoke once a week
for the purpose of keeping the flies
away. AS soon as cured, encase
each piece separately in heavy
paper, and pack away in clean, dry
wood ashes. When wanted, take
out one piece at time only; cut
thin, not half as thick as is ordi-
narily cut, and if the "gude house
wife" broils it nicely, you will need
no prompting from her to induce
you to double the allowance for
table use next season.

Ihe Persistancy OF Politicians.


/ have seen politician who was
full of enthusiasm and beer fall into
the river and drown, and the police
pulled him out and then rolled him
on barrel, and pretty soon he came
to, and the first thing he said was
"Rah for Tilden. Set 'em up againl
You would have thought that man
would quit politics, and try and
lead different life, but the next
day he was going whooping around
electioneering in the saloons and on
the street corners, with cork life
preserver strapped around him.
Heis alive yet, and is an alderman.
When a man gets into politics it
takes possession of him, and where
ever he is he is getting in his work
for his party. There was a ward
politician that I knew once that
used TO make speciality of laboring
with the workingmen. One day he
was on top of a building that was
being erected, arguing with brick
layer, when his foot slipped and he
fell off. AS he was going down lac
passed hod carrier going up with
IOdO VI 1Ou WOulQ
that man would forget politics, as
he was falling, and say his prayers
or pick out soft place to strike or
the sidewalk, but he didn't. As
he passed the hod carrier he yelled
to him, don't you forget the eau
Gus tonight in your ward. and get
out all the boys" He struck 10 a
bed of soft mortar, which saved his
life, and as they took a hoe and
pulled him TO the surface, he scrap.
ed the mortar out of his eyes, and
as.tI1e doctor came up to set his
bones he asked the doctor if he had
made up his mind to vote this year
No, sir there is no room in poll

| tics. ! was never so annoyed in
my life as / was once in church,
when they put politician in my
pew. and when we got up to sing
and opened the hymn book, the
politician had Republican presi-
Dental ballot under his thumb,
and / had to. read it all through.

cats into the yard, threw mud all
over the front of the mouse and went
away. a s oa s stia II
In the hack yard things were
loyely..a When you bundle cats
| from all the different wards in the
town in Cne yard there is going to
be trouble. IA So fl B h
The bowling became terrible and
Plunkett, having stood it. till his
patience gave out, grabbed his old
gun and threw up the window. eA
But his wife grabbed him and
told him it wouldn'l do TO shoot Off
the gun in. the house, and told him
to go down stairs if he wanted to
shoot. The old man was too angry
to think about clothes, and rushed
down, threw open the back door
and stepped out just as his wife
stuck her head out of the window.
And right here the climax came.
+ LII Plunkett had stepped ON the
wooded step il would have been all
right, even il his feet and legs were
bare but he didn't; he stepped
right into two cats, from up near
the old graveyard, who were talk
ing together. i4l sg
Now, a Cat from that vicinity
don't stop to beg pardon when it is
stepped on, and both of them sank
their teeth clear to the hilt In old
Plunkett's bare right leg. 1GiI
1t was just at this point that the
gun went of, and filed Mrs PUNK
.ett'S face with bird shot.
No one knows whether Plunkett
jerked his leg up so high that he hit
the hammer, or whether in the ex-
citemeut he pulled the trigger; but
it went off, and Mrs. PIunkett found
it out-though she hadn't found all
the bird shot yet. go sse 't98nlJ
By some accident the police were
near and rushed in before Plunkett
recovered sufficiently to get inside
the door. He insisted that the
shooting was an accident and they
swore that he was drunk and he
shot off the gun to celebrate New
Years, and after a pitched battle
they got him in the lookup. roW
The charges are: go n8gs
Drunkenness, }.s, -
DisOrderly conduct,
Firing in the city limits,
Resisting an officer, fsi
Carrying weapons,
Profane and boisterous language,
Indecent exposure of person,
Assaulting an officer,
Shooting with intent to kill,
Intent to bribe an official,
And we don't know what else.
And the newspaper man is hap
py, for he says that after Plunkett
pays all his fines and gets well
enough to come to the store, no
man on earth can convince him
that an advertisement won't be
read, no matter where you put it in
q paper.

A Dickson County Ghost.
Dickson Press.

Dickson county is up with the
times, and "though slightly disfig-
ured is still in the ring" We have
had the smallpox, a cyclone, the
coldest weather and deepest mud
ever known in this State, and now
we come to the front with a genu-
inc ghost story.
About four miles west of Dick
son, near Emo Church, there is a
cave, situated in the west bank of
Piney river. This cave is of con
siderable magnitude, and although
there is no person living in its i'm
mediate vicinity, yet it has been
used for years by a number OF
families in that neighborhood, as a
place for storing potatoes during
the winter. The entrance TO the
cave can be seen from several hou-
ses, and the inmates of these dwell
Iings are trying to solve the follow
ing mystery: About two weeks
ago, soon after dark, bright light
was seen TO rise slowly from the
ground, near the entrance to the
cavern, which continued to ascend
until near the tops of the large
trees growing near, and then de-
scended until the ground was reach
ed, when it suddenly disappeared.
This light has appeared each night
since then, but at various hours.
Our informant says that one night
il failed to ''show up'' until after
midnight, but that it generally is
seen an hour or two after dark.
Our informer of this strange phe-
nOmenOn is well known resident
of that neighborhood, who has HIM
self witnessed this unaccountable
procedure, and he states that sew
eral of his neighbors have witness.
ed the appearance of the light, and
that great curiosity is manifested
as to what causes it to appear, or
what it Is. A dilligent watch will
be kept by these people, to discover
solution of the mystery, which
when found we will give our read
ers, but until this is done we can
but wait and wonder what it is.

Pampered Pugs.

"Have you a silver dog collar?" in
quired a acknowledgement young lady
as she entered a Washington street store,
Boston. She bore in her arms a black
nosed pug dog of good proportions,
which she deposited carefully on the
floor as though he were in danger of
breaking.
"Would you like a collar Or a harness?
Harnesses are very fashionable and
they cannot slip over the head as collars
are apt to do i'll the cast of pug dogs.
You see the neck is as large around as
the head, and it is almost impossible to
keep a collar on"
"Oh, that is delightful" exclaimed
the young lady as the straps were adj
justed. "What is the price? Only S25?
How cheapp
The money was paid and girl and dog
went their way rejoicing.
"Do youhave many such customers as
thatp' inquired a reporter.
"We have them constantly" was the
reply. Frequently we sell collars for
dogs that are not themselves worth half
the price of the collar. We have ff-
teen hundred patterns of dog collars,
but even at that We frequently have Gus
toners who are too f~astidious to be
suited from the stock, and we have to
make something to order. The other
day a lady came in and showed a silver
bangle bracelet and wanted a collar
made for her dog Just like it. There is
no knowing what woman will do when
she fairly gets the dog fever. Why, a
woman came in here the other day lug
ging a dog in her arms, and the animal
had around his neck a collar of satin,
ornamented with yiolets and primroses,
hand-painted. One woman has bougsgt
at least 500 worth of dog collars within
a year past. On the other hand sport
ing la came in the other day with a
fine bird dog, worth at least 81 600,
but his collar was not worth 81. 1t is
the same principle as a man carrying a
watch worth $500 with a shoe-string
for a chain. Collars are no protection
against dog-thIeves. They rather in
crease the liability of theft, especially
when the collar is worth $50 and the
dog twenty cents"
"Do you hear many dog stories?n
"Well, l should say l did. Every
man and woman who comes in has a
story to tell of the wonderful doings of
his or her dog. OF course / must show
an interest in them all or fall forever in
the estimation of my customers"
