Our Most Famous Documen .

Few people know that the orig
inal declaration of independence is
kept in the library of the state de
partment at Washington. 1t is in
a cherry case under glass. But the
doors ar" thrown open all day long
and strong rays of light are eating
up its ink day by day. 1t is written
on parchment. The text of it is in
q hand as fine as copper-plate, and
the ink of this part can still be
plainly read. The signatures, how
ever, are written in different ink,
and they are very fast disappearing
under the action of the light. The
bold signature of John Hancock is
faded almost entirely out. Only a
j, o, h and an H remain. Two
lines of names are entirely removed
from the paper; not a vestage OF
ink remains to show that names
were ever there. Ben Franklin's
name is gone. Roger Sherman's
name is fast fading. l could no,
find the name of Thomas jefferson
and Elbrigde Gerry has lost its las,
syllable. Charles Carroll and John
Adams have been secured off by
the light, and only eleven names
out of fifty-six can be read withou,
Q microscope. Just below this copy
lies the original of it in Jefferson's
own handwriting. 1t is on fools.

Saving Meat.

Mr.. Forbes informed me that
five years ago he killed hogs in
Michigan in August, weighing 800
pounds and saved his meat and
says he has followed the practice
for forty years or more, and has
never lost piece. He says get
new casks Gas many as is requisite
for YOUR purpose), kill your hogs,
letting them get as cool as possible,
taking care to get all the animal
heat out, trimming the hams and
shoulders os usual. Then cut the
hams in the middle at the joint, re-
moving a bone that overlays the
joint something similar to the knee
cap in the human. At that joint
you will find watery substance,
and there Is where the ham inva-
riably begins to spoil. In addition
take off the hook also at the joint.
UnjOint the shoulders in the same
way, packing the hams and shout
ders in seperate casks fitting the
pieces as well as circumstances
will permit. Make q brine Of salt,
saltpetre and brown sugar, in pro-
portion of two ounces of saltpetre
to one quart of salt and two pounds
Of brown sugar to q half bushel OF
salt, the brine to be sufficiently
strong to bear up an egg. Then
pour in your brine until the meat
is fully coverd, weighing It so ss
to keep it at all times fully sub
merged.
In from ten to twenty days, &C
lcording to the size Of the meat, re-
move from the casks and hang az
usual. This gives the beautiful rec
looking hams we have seen SO oft
in the first class retail grocery hous
es, like Billy Golfers for instance
The middlings should be cut il
six-inch strips crosswise, taking
care to remove all the lean par
that lies nearest the back
bone. Then cover the bottom
of the cask with clean, dr..
salt, packing edgewise, covering
) each layer with salt. After letting
it stand that way for five day
make brine with clear, cold water
using all the salt that the waite
will dissolve, filling the cask wit
| the brine, fully submerging, as il
/, case of hams and shoulders. New
er remove the pieces except a
: needed for use. Mr.. Forbes say
> this is the practice amongst Mich
, gan farmers. He followed the pla1
all his life and he has never lost
piece of meat Nashville Amer

Knoxville Gone Democratic.


To an outsider it looks as though
the Republicans of Knoxville are
badly demoralized. In a vote of
over 23OO for Mayor, the Republi-
can candidate only received some
thing over five hundred. The Dem.
ocrats elected nearly everything

A Boy Sheriff.

side streets, saw a group of boys.
1t was just before the school hour,
and the crowd increased very rap
idly. AS soon as / got near l saw
two of the boys standing face to
face with double fists. knew the
nature of the attraction. AS came

just then one of those dOuble-fisted
boys looked up and said:
"Say mister, won't you make him
give me my whip?"
l then saw that the other boy had
behind his back toy whip. l have
given good advice to boys some
times, and l have received it as a
boy, and I have experience in both
capacities of the futility of offering
good advice, and l was not inclined
to NEEDLE with this question, be-
cause l knew, however wisely /
might decide, they would laugh at
me and 60 at it again. But seeing
that the others looked on with in
terest I stopped and said:
"Well, boys, you have got into
difficulty, and want me to settle 1t
for your"
eyes" they replied.
"Well, now" I said, Ifyou want
to settle your trouble as men settle
it, I will help you; but ifyou want
to settle it as boys do, l don't see
any way but to f1ghtit out. II, how
ever, you want me to help you to
settle it, you must promise to do as
say, and will decide as fairly as
can"
After some hesitation they prom.
Used, though they were both afraid
that would decide for the other
boy. l knew that that wasn't
enough, for 1 have received promis'
es as a boy and I have made them
sometimes. therefore continued;
"Well, boys, when men settle a
difficulty, if it is serious contro.
versy like this, they have a Judge
and understand you have asked
me to be the Judge; but they also
have sheriff, and I wanta sheriff.

Judge decides, you are to make then

think you are good natured boy
and don't think you would do any
thing cruel or wicked; but what
ever I decide you must make thu
boys obey. Don't you let them off
no matter If you have to 60 aftel

"Yes" said he, ~ will do it; viii

Then I asked their story. They
