The price of Meissonier's wonderful
little picture, The Vedette'' is stated
to be $22, 500. Fifty years ago Meis-
sonier's inimitable drawings fetched
from 81 to s. apiece. In order to fin
ish them he had to spend half the day
in the ..Bibliotheque Nationale'' at
Paris, studying Indian engravings,
which afforded subjects suited to the
taste of the dealer whose orders the
great French artist-then unknown to
fame-was executing. Meissonier has
for himself left it on record that his
lunch then consisted Of q raw apple,
and his dinner (when he could afford
,ne) Of soup, fried potatoes and . BIZ
Of bread. He could only afford to
sleep one night in two, and for siz
months he claims to have lived on I
sum of 50 francs.

A Knowing Cat.

Having noticed in the Times an ac-
count of the popularity of cat having
liking for muskmelon, apd of another
that admired itself in mirror, l do
not doubt the truth of both narratives,
for l once owned tomcat that taught
and that had the most peculiar habit OF
any cat I ever heard of His mother
was very highly spoken of for her pecu-
liarity. In the season of the year when
cherries were ripe every evening our
Tom would be missing, and it seemed
rather strange that he should stray
away so regularly from home nights,
for he was never known to go away al
night before. So just before dark one
evening | watched Toms motions to
see where he was going, and. to my sur
prise, saw him making for our neigh
boris cherry tree. In order to fully sat
isfy myself, went over and bought a
quart of the ox-heart cherries, and put
them in a tin plate and set them on the
floor and left Tom to enjoy himself
About twenty minutes later returned
and found the cherries all gone and
Tom cracking the pits to get the ker
mel out of the she'll This the owner
can vouch Hartford Times.

APPLES are among the most nourish
ing and healthful Of all vegetable foods
Besides containing a large amount OF
sugar and other Carbohydrates, they con
tain vegetable acids and certain aro
matte qualities which act powerfully in
the capacity of tonic, antiseptics and re
frigerants Of cooling foods. When mel
low they prevent debility and indiges
ton. They are no doubt very service
able in averting many ills. The opera
tives of Cornwall, England, are said to
consider ripe apples nearly as nouri shing
as bread, and much more so than
potatoes. During the scarcity of food
in some years apples have been largely
used as regular diet, and workmen
endured their toll easily for some time
on baked apples alone whereas potato
diet required to be supplemented by
meat or other food All European peo-
Pile, and especially the French and Ger
mans, use apples extensively. There is no
fruit which can be cooked and prepared
in so many different ways as apples, nor
IS there any fruit whose value as an arti-
Gle of nourishment is so great and yet so
little appreciated.

Curing Hams.

PtInfer saws:
Il was led from the experience of a
friend to adopt the free use of black pep
per upon my hams and shoulders
taking of course the precaution OF
killing in weather cold enough to get
the meat thoroughly cool. First, the
feet are taken off at the joint neatly
With knife, and pains taken to trim
nicely as to shape. Next, the salt, with
usual quantity of saltpetre(one pound to
1000 pounds of meat) was we'll rubbed
OIL the skin side of the ham; it was then
turned over, and the ground black pep
per applied TO the 1eshy side on the
under part of the ham-enough to
make 1t black with it. Salt was then
placed on top of the pepper, as much as
could be laid on, and also, as much pep
per on the end of the hook, or TO be
stuffed into it. The hams we're then
carefully laid upon benches or in boxes.
The shoulders were then treated in the
same way and laid upon the top of hams,
where they remained until the sait
struck in, which depends upon the
weather aud the size of the meat. When
taken up TO be hung to dry the pepper
will be found imbedded, and dry cake
Of 1t, as it were, formed upon the meat,
where the fly can only deposit its egg
upon the surface of black pepper, which
soil, you know, is not conducive to the
propagation of these miserable little
enemies af the hams and shoulders.
1t has been found useless to smoke
meats treated in this way. 1t is only
during warm, damp spells in the spring
(before the bacon when large has time
to dry OUT that fire is necessary, and it
will be found that there is all the differ
ence in the taste of unsmoked bacon and
that smoked, as there is in sun-cured
tobacco, and that housed and smoked, or

hams in brine, it is all important to
have them dry, and be as firm as posi-
bic before warm weather sets in and the

salt and pepper are used on the meat as
