SAFETY MARKS,

How Bank Checks Can Be Made q
Perfectly Safe Circulating Medium.
An important and valuable invention
is a check protector. The machine is
small hand arrangement that punches
a series of small round holes through
the paper, FORMING figures. with large
stop holes at each end. Chlorine will
remove writing ink and leave the paper
free from discoloration. so that larger
amount can then be written in without
detection. Even tinted checks are
operated on quite as easily as plain or
water-lined ones. 1t is fact very well
known to all rogues. and should be to
all business men, that enclosing several
rows of small uniform points on the
face of a check. instead of affording
protection. positively renders fraudu-
lent alteration more easy and detection
more difficult. as, after moistening, the
raised points can easily be rubbed down
with paper holder, the ink removed
and replaced, and the dies of another
stamp of the same make carefully
worked into the same ruptures, covering
nil defects and restoring the genuine
appearance. But once let the figures
be perforated through the paper, the
portions displaced being removed with
out mutilating or weakening the check
and then your amount is unalterably
fixed upon the check.-N. Y. MaI and

CURING HAMS.
The Famous Recipe Used By Mrs. Henry
Clay for Curing Meats.

The Famous Recipe Used By Mrs. Henry
Clay for Curing Meats.
The following is the famous recipe
used by Mrs. Henry Clay for curing
hams, several hogs heads 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
fine salt, one pound of saltpeter and
two pounds of brown sugar. and after
mixing them thoroughly together,
rubbed the hams Herewith on either
side. They were then packed in 3
tight box and placed in a cool onthouse
for about three weeks, when the hams
were taken out and put in pickling-
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, rubbed
with fresh salt, and hung up in we'll
ventilated house for 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 white
washed again and packed away in hogs
heads with hickory ashes, until wanted
either for home use or sending to

EuLL DRESS FOR MEN.
Some New Points As to the Cut Of the

Some New Points as to the Cut of the
Evening Suit a In Mode.
The last authoritative report, giving
in minutest detail the proper manner of
cutting dress suits, is as follows: The
length of the coat for man standing
five feet eight inches is eighteen and
half inches to the waist and thirty-six
inches to the bottom of the skirt. The
back is cut with moderately high
shoulder seam, a narrow back scye, a
side seam moderately curved and
width at the tack of one and three
quarters inches. The gorge should be
cut slightly longer and lower than for a
double-breasted frock coat. and the
lapels. which are light. should be made
considerably peaked. they are spaced
for five holes. and are made to turn Just
above the second hole from the bottom.
The silk facing should eAtepd only to
the end of the collar. The iapcls ut the
bottom are very slightly rounded and
the skirts ut the hips are turned very lit
tie. and at the bottom they are rounded
even less. The edges are bound with
very narrow binding. The sleeves are
cut so rs to be >',arriy having but little
fullness at the top. aud are made Just
large enough at the bottom to inclOse
linked cuffs smoothly. They are finished
to initiate tolerably deep cuffs. and close

Raised Upon Fair Hands.
According to the fearful experiments
of DR.. Forster, of the Ita'ian Medical
Gazette, there is no such thing as the
possibility of clean hands on anybody.
Washed with soap and water, with car
bolic acid. with all and any of the dis
infectants in common use, our hands
will still remain scientifically unclean
that is to say that preparation called
sterilized gelatine, absolutely destitute
OF living organisms, on being touched
by the fingers thus washed and sup
posed to be clean, Immediately devel-
ops living organisms acquired from
the fingers. But if the hands are
washed in dilute solution of biehloride
of mercury, or corrosive sublimate. one
part to one thousand parts of water,
perfect cleanliness is attained. and no
living organisms will be developed by
the touch of the fingers. 1t is pitiful
to think that we are really so palpably
made of the dust of the earth; out it
seems that we must endure it, since
corrosive sublimate can hardly be
made the adjunct of our daily toilettes,
and if it were, then the next time we
shook hands, or took up = book. or
went into the street, we should but de-
velop fresh crop of Heterogeneous.
The fact is that these discoveries of
science show us, if they do nothing
else, how fearfully and wonderfully we
are made, and, if we regarded them
seriously, there is nothing we could
eat and nothing we could do which
would not make death seem to hang
imminent in the air. There is one
refuge for the unscientific and that is
in whistling the whole matter down
the wind. keeping clean to the best of
belief and thus taking care of ones
self, letting the heterogeneous take

POPOCATEPETl.
The Ancient Volcano Transported Into the
Halls Of Litigation.

The Ancient Volcano Transported Into tho
Halls Of Litigation.
The ancient volcano Popocatepetl has
got into the courts. Not that it has
been bodily transported into the halls OF
litigation, but it is the subject of novel
suit at law. For many years General
Ochoa has been the owner of the volcano,
the highest point of land in North
America, together with all its appur-
tenances. The crater contains fine
quality of sulphur. which the General
has been extracting, giving employment
to Indians who cared to stay down in
the vaporous old crater. The property
was at one time fairly profitable, but
now it appears that the volcano was,
some time ago. mortgaged to Carlos
Recamier. who brings suit of foreclosure.
The papers have been joking about the
matter, some asking what Recamier in
tends to do with his volcano when he
gets legal possession. He has been SOL

MAD-STONES.

Their Emc.cy Equaled by Burnt Bone or
Porous Earth.
Many so-called mad-stones have been
analysed. Faraday found one of the
most celebrated ones to be nothing but
the charred bone of deer. while others
have been found to be stones of different
materials having some absorbent powers
as such porous stones usually have.
There is no such thing as peculiar
stone known as the maidstone, and any
thing having absorbent qualities, be it
burnt bone or porous earth or rock. may
be used as maidstone with equal pros
poets of success. 1t may possibly be
that, when the virus of rabid dog re-
mains in the wound, and before it has
entered the blood and c;rculatory sys-
tenn, a bit of porsu,s stone may draw it
out, and so would sucking the wound as
well. But the idea that peculiar stone
called maidstone will remove the virus
