FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Curing Hams.

The following is tho famous receipt
used by Mrs. Henry Clay for curing
hams, several hogsheads of which were
annually sent to Boston, where, under
the name of ashland hams,'' they
commanded the highest price especially
among the wealthy wings of that city.
For every ten hams of moderate size
she took three and one-half pounds of
salt, one pound of saltpetre and two
pounds of brown sugar, and after
mixing them thoroughly together,
rubbed the hams Herewith on either
side. They were then packed in a
tight box and placed in q cool out
house for about three weeks, when the
hams were taken out and put in q
picking tub or hogshead and covered
with brine strong enough to swim an
egg. After remaining in the pickle for
about three weeks. they were taken out,
thoroughly rubbed with fresh salt, and
hung up in well-ventilated house for
a few days to dry, after which they
were transferred to the smoke-house,
where they were hung up and smoked
with green hickory or walnut wood
until they had acquired the color of
bright mahogany, when each ham was
sewed up in canvas, the coverings
whitewashed and hung up to dry, after
which they were whitewashed again
and packed away in hogsheads with
hickory ashes until wanted either for
home use or sending to Boston.
The Germantown Telegraph has also
q famous receipt for curing bacon,
beef or mutton, which it publishes an
nually for the benefit of its readers,
and it is as follows: To one gallon of
water add II pounds of salt, ! pound
of sugar, t ounce saltpetre and
pound of potash-increasing the
rates to any quantity desired-and
boil these together until all the i'm
purlties have risen to the top and been
skinned off. Pour the same into a
tub, and when cold, pour it over the
meat, covering the meat completely
with the mixture, taking care not to
thus put down the meat for at least
two days after killing. Some omit
boiling the pickle and find it to answer
equally as well, although it must be
admitted that the boiling purifies the
pickle by throwing off any impurities
that may be contained in both the salt
and sugar. 1t is said that if this re-
ceipt is strictly followed it only requires
trial to convince any one Of its supe.
riority over the common method of put
ting down, and the meat will be found
unsurpassed for sweetness and delicacy
of flavor. Tho potash, unless of the
purest kind, may be omitted.

The Grotesqus In Suicides,


Most of the causes for suicide NAV
be grouped under general heads, but
the variety of circumstances and sur.
roundings which have been regarded
as sufficient provocation for forsaking
this ''vale Of tears is really astonish-
ing.
A Chicago girl, who had been scolded
by her mother, took Paris green. A
Missouri clerk, who stole few goods
from his employer, shot himself on a
railroad platform. A West Virginia
saddler having dreamed that his sweet
heart had given birth to a negro baby,
stabbed himself twenty-five times with
a penknife and cut his throat.
A Pittsburg, Pa, miscr hung himself
because some houses he owned were
not rented. A St. Louis German quar-
relied with his wife because a bed was
not made up and shot himself. A Mis-
souri, man mistook a mule for fruit
thief and shot the animal. Next morn
ing he felt ashamed of himself and
blew the top of his head off.

TO Warm over Cold llutes,.

Az OVOE VOkO AUStO1S
Tho simplest ccf all ways of warm
ing joint that is not far cut, is to
wrap it in thickly buttered paper, and
put it In the oven again, 'contriviug, II
possible, to cover it closely, let it re-
main long enough to get hot through,
rot to cook. By keeping it closely
covered it will get hot through In less
time, and the steam will prevent it get.
ting hard and dry; make some gravy
hot and serve with the meat. II your
gravy Is good and plentiful, your meat
will be as nice as the first day; without
gravy it would be an unsatisfactory
dish. If you cannot manage to cover
the joint In tho oven, you may put it in
a pot over the FIRE without water. but
with a dessert spoonful of vinegar 10
create steam, let it get hot through,
and serve as before.
IAN excellent and simple way is to
cut 1t, If loin, into chops, or leg, into
thick collops, and dip each into egg well
beaten with tablespoonful of milk,
then In fine bread-crumbs and fry in
plenty of very hot fat. If your crumbs
are not very fine and even, the larger
crumbs will fall of, and the appearance
be spoilt. These chops will be almost
as nice, If quickly fried, as fresh cooked
ones. They will also be excellent If.
instead Of Dreaded, they are dipped
into thick batter and fried brown in
the same way. This method answers
for any kind of meats, chicken thus
warmed over being especially good.
The batter. or egg and bread-crumbs
form a sort of crust which keeps it ten
der and juicy. Any attempt. to fry
cold meat without either results In q
hard, stringy, UNBEATABLE dish.

In his provincial home, us well as in

what is know, as .gassy" mines, for the
reason that in them more study was given
to the subject OF ventilation, the laws in

n WORD PERSONAL.
a Sketch of the Superintendent Of the
Parrots EMalre Works.

Ben iamin Tibbey, the Superintendent, OF
the Parrot, was born in Bluefort, Wales,
and in accordance with the custom OF the
country, at the age OF eight years he begun
work in the coal mines OF that section and
continued in the labor until he was fifteen
years OF age. At that period Mr.. Tibbey
with his parents came to this country and
Located in the coal regions OF Pennsylvania
where he Immediately found employment
and remained working constantly for years
in the deep mines OF that region. In 1873,
catching the Western fever he cmigra ted o
Montana, and soon after his arrival in
Butte in the spring OF 1877 $. he WORKED. in the
camp two years, " hen he became acquainted
with A. F. Migeon, the general manager OF
the Parrot Company. During the CONVEX
Stations that ensued Mr.. Migeon discovered
that Tibbey was practical miner recently
from the great coal regions OF the East, and
just the man the Parrot Company needed
to open and develop it's property. The re-
suit was that an agreement was made, and
on the Goth day Of May, 1881, Tibbey took
charge and has remained there since, to
the entire satisfaction OF the company.

The product of this company is essentially

THE PRODUCT AND IT'S DISPOSITION.
The aggregate production OF copper for
the past twelve months by the Parrot
smcltcr exceeds 1s,oOO.O 900 pounds. The
copper is shipped to the Connecticut Cop
per Company, at Bridgeport, Connecticut,
to be refined. This company is controlled
by the same interests that own the Parrot
mine and smelters. About six tons Of pig
copper per day are shipped to i. Balhoch
4 Sons, Newark, n. j., to refine the same
by an electrical process. The company do
not depend nor rely upon the analysis OF
the product which they ship to other than
their own assayers and metallursists.

Is hinbctlilg, and the levels and slopes
OF the Parrot are to-day absolutely
as sale to work in or walk through as
though the parties were above ground.
Speaking OF timber, it is also asserted by
the miners that in i, well ventilated mine
they will last more years than months in
one in which the air is impure. This surely
cuts an important figure in the expense ac.

OF the Parrot is well posted, intelligent,

In the selection OF his assistants, Mr..
Iibbey has shown that he knows how to
select proper men and hold them. The
position OF day foreman has been for the
past two years filled by Matt. Hodge with
credit to himself and the company. The
night foreman is Joseph Henworth, who is
an old and experienced minerformerly from
England, and lately OF Colorado, who gives
entire satisfaction to the employees as well
as to the management.
