RELICS OF WITcRCRAFT,
a Few Mem cntoes Still Preserved of the
Prosecutions OF 1922.

a Few Mem cntoes Still Preserved of the
| Prosecutions of 1902.
In the busy little city of Salem are
preserved few relics of the horrible
year OF 1892, when number of the best
citizens of the town were hanged on the
accusation OF some poor, deluded per-
sons, mostly girls in their teens, who
asserted that they had been bewitched
and tortured by the prisoners. The rel
les are displayed on large stand in the
center OF the main Office of the register
OF deeds. The first thing that attracts
attention is bottle containing a half
dozen witch pins. These implements
are nothing more than the ordinary pins
used two centuries ago, when pins were
still manufactured by hand. The inter-
est attaching to these specimens Genes
from the fact that they are the very pins
that were used at Salem to stick into
the accused persons to see whether thew
were witches. If the unfortunates were
hurt by this treatment it was a sure
sign that they were witches unfit to live.
Beside the bottle of witch pins is the
official seal of the Court of Oyer and
Terminer, before which the prisoners
were tried. 1t is a little iron stamp fit
ted with a black wooden handle, and it's
Impress is seen upon the only warrant
for the hanging of one of the prisoners
that has been preserved. This warrant,
as it was written out by the clerk of the
court, fills the greater part of a sheet of
paper about foolscap size. 1t is written
in grabbed hand, but is quite legible.
1t is addressed to the sheriff, recites the
crime for which one of the female pris-
oners had been tried and convicted, and
orders the sheriff to hang her on a GER
tain day. On the lower part of the page
appears the sherifs return, written in
round, bold hand, certifying that he has
carried out the mandate of the court.
Photographs of this interesting docu-
ment are on sale.
But the most interesting relic is the
court record of the trials of these UNI
fortunate prisoners. These papers are
kept in large volume so arranged that
every document may be read without
being touched. Here are the affidavits
OF the ignorant girls and boys who tell
OF the fortunes the alleged witches male
them suffer. Here is the detailed ex-
animation of the prisoners. giving ques-
ton and answer. The record was neatly
written, and is still as legible as though
it were recently committed to paper. 1t
was doubtless written out each day by
the clerk from his notes after the ad-
journment of the court. 1t tells the story
of great delusion, and probably no
original documents that have come down
from our forefathers are so replete with
tragic interest.--N Y. Sun.

| Usually the better plan will be to cut
up the same day they are butchered,
laying the pieces out to cool thoroughly
before sailing down.
For dry sailing good boxes can be used.
Pepper added to the salt will improve
the quality of the meat 1t will also be
a considerable help If each piece is
rubbed hard with the salt instead OF
simply sprinkling it on, especially with
the hams and shoulders.
Trim these to a good shape, the small
pieces can be worked into sausage to a
good advantage. The head and feet can
be made into head-cheese. Cut every
thing into convenient shape for hand
ling-backbones, ribs, heads, feet and
jowls. 1t can be done with less trouble
now than later. These should be sailed,
but if the weather is cold not SO much
as the other meat. If the weather is
moderate, so that the meat does not
freeze hard in a week, it Will be found
good plan to take it out and salt again,
rubbing as before. If the weather is
severely cold, this should be done as
soon as the weather moderates sufficient
ly to thaw out thoroughly. If care is
taken to get the meat properly sailed,
there is very little. if any danger, of it's
spelling.
Some prefer to pickle rather than to
salt down dry. A very good plan is to
take clean barrels and lay in the pieces,
packing as closely as possible, sprinkling
good layer of salt over each and then
covering with water. ALI the salt that
this water will dissolve should be put in
and the addition of small quantity Of
saltpeter will improve the whole. In
about three days this should be care
fully poured off and fresh brine be added.
Others prefer to cook the brine, tax
ing IL pounds OF good salt, n of pound
OF saltpeter, pounds of brown sugar
and a of pound of pepper; put in
kettle and bring to boil, Swimming off
whatever sediment rises on the surface
and pouring the clear brine over the
meat while hot. The brine should be
made strong enough to bear up an egg.
| The meat should be well covered with
brine. After laying in brine three
weeks it is taken out and smoked the
same as if dry salted. This plan can be
followed whether the brine is put in
cold or hot; or, if desired, the meat can
be left in the brine until it is wanted
for use. Good pickeled pork, if proper
ly managed, makes good meat for
summer use.
Beef can be picked in the same way,
and can be kept long time and will be
OF good quality. With beef, good plan
is to put on the brine and let it stand
two or three days and then pour off and
put on fresh, though some will cook the
brine over and put back. If cold brine
is used the better plan is to put on
fresh. A few pieces can be taken outofthe
brine and hung and smoked SO that with
little care, not only a good quality,
but a good variety of meat can be stored
away for use.-St. Louis Republic.

Butchering and Hog-KiIlinp.


So far as possible every farmer should
fatten and butcher a sufficient supply of
meat. at least for his own family, while
a few sides of bacon to sell during the
next summer will not come amiss. It is
poor economy to sell fat hogs or cattle
in the fol and then buy bacon and beef
the next summer. 1t is paving rather
heavy interest and should, as far as
possible, be avoided. While large, fat
hogs give the most lard, good medium
hogs make the best meat.
1t is not necessary to select the cold
est, most uncomfortable day in the win
ter to butcher. Even in what we con-
slder hard winter, there are DAYS that
are reasonably pleasant, when work OF
this kind can be done not only better but
with more comfort. The wood should
be made ready, the kettles arranged
and supply of water provided the day
before, SO that no unnecessary time NAV
be lost, apd the hogs can be cleaned and
hung up and we'll washed and drained
before cutting up.

AN IMMENSE BRIDGE.
1T May at Some Future Time Connec
England and Franco.

England and France.
A most remarkable engineering pro-
ject was suggested at the recent meet
ing of the Iron and Steel Institute in
Paris. This is nothing less than the
erection of a great bridge between
France and England from Cape Grisnez
to Folkestone. An idea of what is in
volved in this undertaking may be
gathered from some estimates prepared
by the proposers of the project.
The length of the bridge would be
thirty-two miles. The number of piers
100, the Roadway for ships $50 feet, and
the height from the foundation to the
top OF the structure 600 feet. 1t is pro-
posed to build the bridge entirely of
steel. To do this 100000 tons of steel
would be required, and the cost of the
bridge, it is estimated, would amount to
about s175, 0OO,0 900.
The project would have attracted less
attention than it has but for the fact
that it was suggested by NJ. Schneider,
leading French ironmaster, and M.
Hersent, very eminent engineer of
that country, and Endorsed by Sir John
Fowler and Mr.. Baker, chief engineers
OF the Forth bridge. The examination
OF the project by these authorities has
convinced them that it involves no diff
culties which can not be overcome nv
engineering skill.
The scheme is regarded in rather
critical spirit by English professional
and trade journals. The fact that such
a proposition should be made at this
time bears witness to the very consider
able development of the modern ten
dency to increase inter-communication
The building of a permanent means Of
communication between The two nations
which were so long a period rivals and
enemies would be a notable thing in
deed. London Letter.
