Facts About Musk.

Every one knows The Odor of musk
Oct every one does no, know that 1t is
the product of a secretion o. the musk
deer.
This animal is regarded by certain
natuaralists as a species of gozelle /; it
is about the size OF roebuck, and OF a
gentle and tiInid nature. Its move
ments are quick, lively and graceful ;
but IL is especially distinguished by a
little sac situated near the navel, and
containing the much-priZed musk.
which is secIeted as a kind of clotted
and fatty humor OF a brown color.
much resembling dried blood. II is
only found in adult males.
Four kinds Of musk are distinguished
in commerce that from China or
Tonquin, which is considered the best /;
that from Yunnan, that from Assam,
ard the kabartine musk, from Russia
and Siberia. 1t appears, potwithstand-
ing the opinion of Cuvier, that many
other species of this family are provided
with musk-pouch, which may explain
the difference presented by She various
samples met with in commerce.
The price of musk is from IS to $40
an ounce in the natural pouches. The
high price il strong temptation to
fraud and the musk is often fourd
mixed with lead, iron, copper, saad,
dried blood, or even paper or rags, TO
increase the volume and weight. After
the introduction OF the foreign bodies,
the pouches are closed up again in SO
ingenious a manner. that only the eye
of an expert can discover the fraud.
The purest musk, AMI the most valued
Sy the Chinese themselves, is that void
ed by the animal upon stones and trees.
The odor of musk is perhaps the
strongest of all known perfumes. Only
a minute quantity is necessary to per-
fume large quantity of other material.
1t IS of an incalculsb!e divisibillty. IL
one opens a bottle containing this per-
tume, the whole surrounding air is sat
urated with its odOr, which may be
carried by the wind for long distances.
Musk was we'll known to the sncients,
and was highly priced by them as a
medicine, as 1t still is among the
Oriental Lations. About 600 pounds
are annually consumed in the Urited
States, OF which ninety-eight per cent.
IS used in perfumery, and the remair-
der in medicine.

Horse MaXims.

The stable door should be locked be.
fore the horse is stolen. When horses
are frightened is not the tine to whip
or beat them. The annoyance OF flies
is often harder on horses than the work
they do. The value of good horse is
rarely realized until he IS dead or part
ed with. Time spent IN looking after
the comfort of work horses is well in.
vested. Horses which are compelled to
do hard work are entitled to the best
treatment possible. Never use harsh,
sharp language when handling horses.
Ii is useless TO try to make fast trot-
ter out Of poorly bred horse. 1t never
pays to work slow, lazy horse beside q
quick, spirited animal.

To make sarsages for long keeping !:
For htty pounds chopped pork, fat and
lean combined, add one pound two
ounces best salt, four ounces each black
pepper aud pulverized sage. two ounces
saltpetre dissolved IN = gill OF Loi ing
water. Mix until thoroughly Incorpor-
ated then pack tightly INTO narrow
cloth sacks and haLg in a cold place
IL not ali consumed during cold whe4th-
er, 1t will keep sweet until late in the
spring. As many persons do not like
high seasoned food, and IL made only
for present use it is advised using
only three ounces each OF pepper and
sage for the above amount Of meat, the
other proportions OF seasoning b.ing
correct.
To rendering lard for family use keep
the lard from the intestinss by itself,
and use it daring the winter. For long
keeping cut the leaf into small sections
and place it over slow FIRE, stirring it
often from the bottom lest il scorch on
the kettle (use no water) and cook il
slowly until the scraps become slightly
crisp, wheI remove the kettle from the
stove and let stand until cool enough to
handle safely. Then strain directly
into well cleansed stone jers kept for lie
purpose, and when cold cover and con-
vey them 60 the cellar. Lard rendered
in this way will be pure and white. and
keep perfectly sweet for an indefuite
length OF time.
For curing hams To each 100
pounds of hams take s pounds best
coarse salt, ? ounces ssltpetre, pounds
brown sugar and 4 gallons water.
Slightly rub the haDs with fine salt al d
pack firmly into the barrel. Mix the
above after TIE nams have lain two days
and pour over them II will just cover
them. Let the hams remain in the
brine S x weeks and they are then just
right for smoking.

Chinese Shoes and shoemaking.

Shoemaking, shoe mending and shoe
selling are distinct branches Of business
in China. Chinese shoes exhibit great
variety of shape. Except in the hob
nailed shoe for wet weather. there is
little leather used-the materials being
principally calico, silk, satin, velvet and
felt. Children's summer shoes are made
of fine open rush work, with bright lin
ing. Ladies shoes are made and mcnded
by their wearers. From childhood the
girls Of the upper classes have their feet
tightly bound, and they are thus, at the
cost of years of suffering, enabled TO
wear shoes about three inches long. The
Chinese cobbler goes from house to house,
and his presence with q pecu-

Something About "Zante Currants."

The word currant is said TO be n cor
ruption Of Corinth. a city from which
once came all the Greek currants. The
currants, commonly called zante, are
really ~raisins, produced from a grape that
grows no larger than peas, like the
American wild or fox grapes, and hangs
in lunches only three inches long. These
grapes are dried in the sun, and then
stored in bulk, where the sugar that
exudes from them makes them into
masses so compact that they have to be
dug apart by force when wanted. They
are prepared for shipment by being put
into casks and packed into a solid mass
by being trodden by the feet of the ma
tives.-New York Sun,
