SMOKING HAMS.

The following suggestions as to the
proper mode of preserving meat are
recommended by Professor N~essler:
The keeping qualities of smoking meat
do not depend upon the amount of
smoking, but upon the uniform and
proper drying of the meat. With hot,
dry smoke the surface is dried too rap
idly; a crust, filled with cracks, is
formed, the fat may partially liquify,
and the drying of the interior of the
meat may be hindered. Bacon is
often met with that is brown to the
depth of an inch, or even more, simply
because it was too warm, or at times
moist (sweating) either during the
smoking or subsequent storing. 1t is
| doubtless of considerable advantage to
| roll the meat on it's removal from the
salt, before smoking, in bran or saw
dust, or to strew it with either OF
them, since the crust formed in smok-
ing will not be so thick; and if mois-
ture condenses upon the meat (sweat-
ing), it remains in the bran or sawdust,
and the brown coloring matter of the
smoke does not penetrate the meat:
The bran, etc., can.easily be removed
before using the meat. Warmth of
itself is not regarded as injurious to
smoked meat if moisture is absent and
the air is not too confined. In some
countries smoked meat is kept in the
shade of trees, in any airy place,
rather than in cellars, although the
latter is much cooler, because they are
at the same time much damper. If a
cellar is not dry, smoked meat will
soon mould in it, even if covered with
sawdust, ashes, charcoal, etc. A warm
room is also preferable for the preser.
walton of smoked meat to such as are
liable to great variations of tempera-
ture, since the latter moisture is liable
to condense upon it. By far the most
suitable place, in most cases, for keep
ing smoked meat, is a suitable smoke
house, in which it remains dry with
out drying out entirely, as 1t does
when hung in a chimney, which Is

WHY MEN FIGHT SHY OF
WIDOWS.

There's as much difference between
counting a damsel and an attractive
widow as there is in ciphering IN
addition and double rule of three.
Counting a girl is like eating fruit
all very nice as far as it extends, but
doing the agreeable to a blue-eyed be-
reaved comes under the head of pre-
serves-rich, pungent, syrupy. For
delicious counting, we repeat, give US

Tea Gathering in CcyioD

Tea is getting to be great product of
Ceylon and the export is already 10000.
600 pounds. 1t is claimed in behalf of
this tea that it is cleaner than Chinese or
Japanese tea, which is manipulated and
adulterated until its quality is consider
ably deteriorated. In Ceylon coolies
pick the tea leaves, which are spread on
trays to wither under cover for about a
day. The withered leaf is then placed in
rolling machine, driven by power, and
rolled for an hour, and during the process
the leaves become a moist and twisted
mass, out of which the expressed iuice
freely rolls. The leaves are then placed
in trays to fer1nent or oxydize, during
which process they change from q green
to a copper color. The subsequent flavor
and strength of the tea depend. to n
great extent, on the fermentation, which
is a chemical process, the success of
which is due to the weather.
Firing is the next process. The tea is
thinly spread on trays and placed either
on charcoal stoves or in large iron driving
machines, and at the end of half an hour
it is thoroughly crisp and dried and has
become tea. The tea is then sized by
being passed through sleeves of different
mesh, giving the varieties of Broken
Pekoe, Pekoe, Souchong, Congou and
Dust. The first mentioned, which CON
sists chiefly of the opening bud of the
leaf, gives the strongest tea; SO strong
that the other teas are mixed with il.
The tea is again slightly fired TO drive off
any suspicion of moisture, and packed
while warm in lead lined boxes.
Ceylon tea may now be bought in the
American market. 1t is extolled for its
strength and flavor, and it is said that
two pounds of it will go farther than
three pounds of Chinese or japanese tea.
1t is said to have fragrance that is pc
cuiiarly its own.-Good Housekeeping.

Give FeIOns Their I.nhnr

The idea is simply preposterous that
the people sent to the penitentiary should
live in idleness. They should have the
benefit of their labor, and if you give
them the benefit of their labor they will
turn out as good work as though they
were out of the penitentiary. They will
have the same reason to do their best.
Consequently, poor articles, poorly con-
structed things, would not come into
competition with good articles made by
free people outside of the walls.
Now many mechanics are complaining
because work done in the penitentiaries
s brought into competition with their
work. But the only reason that convict
work is cheaper is because the poor
wretch who does it is robbed. The only
reason that the work is poor is because
the man who does it has no interest in
its being good. If he had the profit of
his own labor he would do the best that
was in him, and the consequence would
be that the wares manufactured in the
prisons would be as good as those manu-
featured elsewhere. For instance. VIC
will say here are three or four men work
ing together. They are all free men.
One commits a crime and he is sent to
the penitentiary. Is it possible that his
companions would object to his being
paid for honest work in the penitentiary!

Leaping Salmon of Canada.

The salmon rivers of Canada aIo all
streams of swift currents, whirling rapids
and high falls. The salmon seems tc
make its way up these streams with as
much case as he moves down. One OF
the sights in the vicinity of Quebec is
the salmon leaping at the Falls Of
Lovette, and during July many persons
assemble there to see it. The falls are a
succession of steep tumbles, and the water
PUSHES over the rocks with great velocity.
The salmon gather at the foot of the
lower tumble, and, with marvellous leaps
up the very face of the rushing waters,
make their way to the summit without
apparent difficulty, gliding up the swift
chutes like a flash and mounting each
successive tumble until the grand sum-
init is reached. The Canadian will tell
you that when there was no legal inter
ference with spearing, the Indians were
in the habit of gathering at the foot of
the falls in their birch canoes and cast
ing their spears at the salmon as they
leaped up the torrents, making their
casts with such marvellous skin that the
salmon aimed at was invariably stopped
in his vaulting career and fell back i'm
paled by the Indians cruel barb.-Cor

At tho Dinner Table.

The American Anthropologist has posi-
tive views that perfect dinner, thor
oughly good in variety, cookery, service,
aesthetic appliances, culinary chemistry,
roses in winter, ice in summer. and
guests with educated palates, is the
finest type and expression we have of
the highest civilization. 'Savages eat
when they can get food, and cat as long
as the food lasts. Civilization NAV be
traced by the changing hours of refec-
ton" That is doubtful for the rules
quoted from the age of Francis I, of
France, are better than those now in
vogue: Rise at s. dine at o, sup at s
and couch at o." The question of grace
at meals is traced to the pre- Christian
and heather habit OF placating the gods,
offering them Il share Of the food. Her
bert Spencer would refer it to the GUS
tom OF offering part of each meal to
deceased ancestors, and members of the
family. Almost all customs extant have
secured new meanings since their origin.

a Spirited American Lady.

| was recently told good story about
a spirited American lady, for whom a
titled female friend had undertaken the
delicate mission of inviting for her a
number of guests to fill her house at
Ascot during the races. Among these
guests were numbered seven male scions
of the British aristocracy. Two of these
personages behaved as gentlemen should
do, and were all courtesy and amiability
to their hostess. The other five acted as
the British cad is apt to do under any
circumstances, and persistently snubbed
the lady under whose roof they were
staying. On the return of Mrs. x
to London, she was asked who her guests
had been at Ascot. II had the pleasure
of entertaining two gentlemen and five
men," was her answer. This reply got
abroad, and every one of the seven called
upon her afterward to express separately
and Individually the hope that he had
been one of the two gentlemen. Cor.

two-year-old colts, three-year olds,
four-year olds, and stations owned

ated considerable interest in the
county. The two-year old race, and
the two-forty-five race, which was
set for Thursday were trotted in the
rain on Wednesday. The colt race
was trotted by Burbank & Williams

colts; f. b. Robinson's auction

way, the Knights horse second,
