Indigestibility of the Rind.

That the rind, or ''skin," of all fruit
is more or less indigestible is a fact that
should not be forgotten. We say all
fruit, and the statement must be under
stood to include the pellcle of kernels
and nuts of all kinds. The edible part
of fruit is peculiarly delicate, and liza
BILE to rapid decomposition if exposed to
the atmosphere; it is, therefore, wise
provision of nature to place strong and
impervious coating over it, as protec-
ton against accident, and to prevent in
sect enemies from destroying the seed
within. The skin of plums is wonder
fully strong compared with its thick.
ness, and resists the action of water and
many solvents in remarkable manner.
If not thoroughly masticated before
taken into the stomach, this skin is rare

Juice. In some cases, pieces of 1t adhere
to the coats of the stomach as wet paper
clings to bodies, causing more or less dis.
turbance or inconvenience. Raisins and
dried currants are particularly trouble,
some in this way, and if not chopped uE
before cooking, should be thoroughly
chewed before swallowing. If a drieG

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
Putting Down Pork.

This is the season when in most farm
ers' homes pork and beef are packed fer
use during the year. 1t requires some
care to do this so as to certainly avoid
loss. The bloody pieces. and all parts
in which particle of blood is attached,
should be put one side for immediate
use, by boiling for mince meat or used
for sausage. Blood will cause the whole
barrel to spoil and become worthless.
Use plenty of salt. After the pieces
have been in pickle two or three weeks
take them out and rub them with salt
petrc This will harden the surface and
prevent taking too much salt. If any
scum rises on the brine boil it and skim
off all that rises and then repack. -
