Pork In Beef Barrels.

1t is much harder to keep beef
through theyear without spelling than
it is pork, probably because the bee
has usually more lean meat in pro-
portion to its fat. 1t is the lean OF
meat that taints soonest, though once
begun it quickly spreads through the
whole. Hence it is often remarked
that it is almost impossible to keep
pork in barrels that have held beef.
Nine times out of ten these beef bar
rels are more or less tainted, and as
the wood is porous, it is almost I'M
possible TO entirely purge them oiit.

What Work Has Done for the Human Race

What Work Has Done for the Human Race
The human race has been saved by
having to work. 1t digged its way
out Of its primeval pit by work. When
it discovered its nakedness and had to
be clothed it worked for its raiment;
when it appreciated the responsibilf-
ties of fatherhood to be the feeding and
rearing of the young it worked under
the impulse of an affection that was
refined above the instincts of the
brute. The relation of husband and
wife was made possible and proper
only by the willingness to work that
it might gather to it the necessaries of
existence and finally be adorned by the
promptings of intellectual as well as
physical wants. If Mother Eve is re-
sponbisle for all this we lift our hat to
her and offer the eincerest respect to
her great memory. She did more for
mankind than Adam and all OF his
male escendants--San Francisco
