WHERE HAMS ARE PREPARED.

The Curing and Smoke Houses OF w.
Marriott.
The curing and packing establishment of
w. Marriott. on Railroad avenue. has won
an enviable patronage throughout the
Northwest as a result of the recognized SUI
periority of the Queen brand of hams and
bacon, of which specially is made. A
reporter of the Posi- INTELLIGENCE visited
this extensive institution yesterday and in
spected the process by which this excellent
food is prepared for the market. The
hams and pork are received in large guam
titles. from fifteen to twenty carloads per
month. from Iowa in salt. The meat is
here freshened in boiling water, the pork
picked and prepared for market as
barrelled pork or bacon, and the hams
trimmed and smoked. The meats, when
prepared for final curing, are perfectly
fresh and clesn. The smokehouses are
well arranged for thoroughly smoking
in large quantities. The capacity of the
works is from $4,000 20 100000 pounds
per week. The goods are shipped as fast
as prepared.
Tae curing and packing appliances are
so arranged as to secure absolute cleanli-
ness. Mr.. Marriott, in taking the reporter
through the various departments, had none
OF the hesitation the butcher sometimes
manifests in admitting visitors to the sau-
sage room, or the cook in disclosing the
mysteries of the hash. The bacon and
hams smoked here are of bright golden
color and great care is taken to get a mild
and delicate flavor. which partly accounts
for the superiority of these over other
brands of meat which are usually made
very salty to insure their safe arrival after
journey in close car across the contin-
ent. Each piece of bacon and every ham
is inspected before branding Queen" upon
it, this word being equal to written guar
antee as to its perfect condition and flavor.
The house ships large quantities to all
parts of the Northwest

The Grecian mother, before putting

FACTS ABOUT SMOKERS.

The Italian Government has II monop-
oily of all tobacco used in the kingdom.
The Prince of Wales and his sons
are inveterate cigarette smokers, but will
not touch an American cigarette.
Nearly all the men in Mexico smoke,
but II is mistake to suppose the Mexican
ladies smoke either cigars or cigarettes.
Smoking is so much popularized
among women that there is now a large
sale for pastles for LADIES after smoking.
A German firm is producing an imi-
tation of meerschaum which deceives the
Oldest smokers and takes as rich color as
the genuine sea-foam.
Cigarettes for ladies' smoking are
sold in London, provided with specially
prepared mouth pieces. They are perfumed
with musk aud violet, and they are enjoy
ing very extensive sale.
Mrs. Danforth, who lately died at
Manchester-by -the-Sea, aged 10l years,
from her childhood until her death used

up and smoke pipeful or two in bed and
then drop off to sleep again.
Nearly every man in the streets of
Lisbon has cigarette In his mouth. Two
gentlemen, strangers, each with lady on

the other lighted cigarette. The former
withdraws his arm from the lady's, removes
his hat, and bows to the gentleman with
the lighted cigarette, takes the lighted
cigarette from between its owners lips,
lights his own, replaces the other, bows
again, gives his companion his arm, and
passes on, without word being spoken on
