The Danger of Cold Baths.

The great mistake that is usually
committed in regard to cold baths is
the error of never varying the temper
ature of the water from that of the
surrounding air. In very cold weather
the bath, even when exposed over night
in the bedroom, will often be lower
than 45o, and where water is brought
straight from the main or we'll it may
be even 10 or $50 lower. Only the
strongest constitutions can derive ben.
eft from the shock produced by the
application of a liquid 60 to 700 cold
er than the body to its surface, and it
is very questionable if it ever is at
tended with permanently good results.
Reaction may be afterwards complete,
but there is always a risk of sudden
danger from the condition of the body
being temporarily such as to prevent
reaction. In such cases very serious
accidents are possible, and a late in
stance of death may, perhaps, be re-
garded as an example in point. A
temperature of from 40 to 500 is quite
cold enough for any person to submit
himself to; this allows of a difference
of between 40 to 500 in the heat of the
body and that of the bath-amply
sufficient to produce all the benefits
desirable from it-and it would be we'll
for all if these extremes were never
exceeded.

Sa usage Making.

The quality will depend largely up
on the kind of meat or meats used
Cutting or grinding fine is desirable,
running twice or more through the
machine unless it be better one than
most of those in use. 1t does not pay
to use skins to prepare the intes-
tines thoroughly involves much labor
and they add nothing to the substance
or flavor. For early use, press the
meat into cakes with the hands, and
pack the rest in earthen jars, to be
made into cakes as wanted for frying.
For long keeping, into summer if de-
sired, make into suitable cakes and fry;
pack into jars, and ill these with melt
ed lard. The pieces can be taken out
at any time and simply warmed thro' >;
they will be as sweet and fresh as when
first prepared. Don't spoil sausage
meat with spices or mint. Use salt
aud pepper moderately, leaving every
one to apply these freely in eating, as
individually desired.
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1884-01-04

Mr.. Stahl writes thus to the 4meri-
can Agriculturist:: Pack closely in the
barrel, first rubbing salt we'll into all
exposed ends of bones, and sprinkle
we'll between each layer, using no brine
until forty-eight hours after, and then
let the brine be strong enough to bear
an egg. After six weeks take out the
hams and bacon and hang it in the
smoke house. When warm weather
brings danger of flies, smoke a week
with hickory chips, avoiding heating
the air much. If one has dark, close
smoke house, as the writer has, the
meat can hang in it all the summer;
otherwise pack in boxes, putting layers
of sweet dry hay between. Long ex-
perience has convinced me that this
method of packing is preferable to the
packing in dry salt or ashes.

Didn't Hit Him.

A tough old debtor in town across
the Hudson entered grocery the 9th
er morning, and stood for long time
looking at an exhibition plug Of to-
bacco. The grocer felt certain that
the old man wanted credit, and he de-
termined to head him off. He there.
fore observed:
81 have to sell that tobacco for cash
down."
You do, eh p
Yes, sir. Tobacco is cash on the
nall
'How's sugar.
That's cash.
Tea and coffee 20
'Cash-all cash. Soap, molasses.
candles, kerosene, butter, potstaes, rice
flour, hams, starch-every one are spot
cash.
The old man stood and looked over
the stock for FIVE minutes, and then
heaved long drawn sigh as he rspli-
ed:
swell, Mr.. Waters, that don't hit
me worth cent. l want to get trust
for three dozen clothespins.'

Shall We Meet Again.

The following is one of the most
brilliant paragraphs ever written by
the lamented George D. Prentiee:-
"The fiat Of death is memorable. There
is no appeal for relief from that great
law which dooms us to dust. We flour
ish and fade as the leaves of the forest
and the flowers that bloom, wither and
fade in day have no Trailer hold upon
life than the mightiest monarch that
ever shook the earth with his footsteps.
Generations of men will appear and
disappear as the grass, with the multi
tude that throng the world to-day will
disappear as footsteps on the shore
Men seldom think Of the great of death
until the shadow falls across their own
pathway hiding from their eyes the
faces of loved ones whose living smile
was the sunlight Of their existence
Death is the antagonist of life, and tn.
thought of the tomb is the skeleton OF
all feasts. We do not want to 60 thro'
the dark valley, although its dark pas
sage may lead to paradise we do not
want to 60 down into damp graves
even with princes for bed fellows. In
the beautiful drama of Ion the hope OF
Immortality, so eloquently uttered by
the death devoted Greek, finds deep
response in every thoughtful SOUL
When about to yield his life sacrifice
to fate, his Clemanthe asks if they will
meet again; to which he responds:
have asked that dreadful question Of
the hills that look eternal, Of the clear
streams that flow forever, Of stars a.
mong those fields of azure my raised
spirits have walked in glory. All are
dumb. But as gaze upon thy living
face, | feel that there is something in
love that mantles through its beauty
that cannot wholly perish. We shall
meet again, Clemanthe."
