The city OF st. Augustine, on the
eastern coast of Florida, stands in one
respect pre-eminenta among all the cities
of the United States-it Is truly an old
city. It has many other claims to con-
sideration, but these are shared with
other cities. But in regard to age 1t
is the one member of its class.
Compared with the cities of the Old
World, st. Augustine would be called
young; but In the United States a city
whose buildings and monuments con-
meet the Middle Ages with the pres
emit time may be considered to have a
good claim TO be called ancient.
After visiting some OF our great
towns, where the noise and hustle OF
traffic, the fire and din of manufact-
ures, the long lines of buildings
stretching out in every direction, with
all the other evidences OF active enter
prise, proclaim these cities creatures of
the present day and hour, it is refresh
ing and restful to go down to quiet St.
Augustine, where one may gaze into
the dry moat of fort of medieval
architecture, walk over its draw
bridges, pass under its portcullis, and
go down into its dungeons and where
in soft semi-tropical air the visitor may
wander through narrow streets re.
sembling those of Spain and Italy,
where the houses on each side lean
over toward one another SO that neigh
bors might almost shake hands from
their upper windows, and are sur
rounded by orange groves and rose
gardens which blossom all the year.

GRATEFUL TO GEN. SPINNER.

Washington Women to Erect n Statue to
the Benefactor of Their Sex.
The women of Washington are to
erect a statue to the late General
Francis E. Spinner, the friend and
benefactor of their sex. The statue
is of heroic size, eight feet high, and
is being executed by the sculptor,
Henry j. Ellicott. Critics who have
seen the work compliment it and
give it high rank. Gen. Spinner was
a pioneer in the advocacy of woman's
fitness for business employment In
1862 he appointed seven women to
positions in the Treasury Depart
ment, some of whom are in Office to-
day. There are now over five thous-
and women employed in the depart
ments in Washington, says the Star,
and other thousands filing honorable
and lucrative positions throughout
the United States. Thirty years ago
the work world of women was limit
ed to the wash tub and the sewing
machine. 1t is not thus now. Gen.
Spinner was once asked what he con-
sidered his greatest achievement. He
replied: "The fact that / was In

salt on top of the pork, then more
pork again, and so on until the barrel
is full. Then lace on top OF all q
board cut nearly to fit inside the bar
rel. Weight it down with heavy
stone, then TIL up with a brine Of
cod water containing all the salt IL
will hold in solution. Pork must
never be packed until it is entirely
free from all animal heat, nor must
a barrel or cask be used that has ever
held anything else. The best quail y
of salt should be used in the Iropor-
tion Of fifty pounds to barrel. If a
little saltpeter is ADDED, the pork
will harden and assume a reddish
tint. The parts destined for hams
or bacon should be sailed by them
selves This curing should be suf.
ticient to season them only, as if too
much salt is used the flavor Is affected.
To make pickle for 100 pounds nj
ham or bacon take four gallons OF
water, six pounds OF salt, two and a
half ounces OF SALT eter, one and a
half rounds OF graduated sugar.
Boil, skim and use when cold. For
dry sailing the proportions are a
pound OF brown sugar to four pounds
Of salt. The hams should lie rubbed
daily for ten days with the prepare
tion, after which they are ready for
smoking.

How the Master Of Bslliol Dealt with Uni
versity washerwomen.
A sympathetic biographer and one
who Is evidently acquainted with his
subject, contributes to Cornhall some
rare Memories OF the Master of Bal
liol." The Master was a keen judge Of
human nature, and In the anecdotes
comprised In this paper there are evil
dences of his keen insight into charac-
ter. One trivial though characters
tic incident narrated is quoted as fol-
lows by the Toronto Empire: Jowett's
brevity of speech and dispatch OF bust
ness never shone more than on the
great occasion of his dealing with the
refractory washerwomen of Balliol.
These worthy DANES struck for higher
wages In one department. Twelve col
lars for shilling was, believe, the
statutory price. They came to inter-
view the master.
"The washerwomen have come to see
you, said the butler.
"Show the ladies up" said the mas
ter. They dumped into the room to
find him fddling with the poker at the
ashes in the CRATE. He turned round.

Presently the butler appeared again.

The washerwomen found the master

A stalwart speaker began to make ex-
plantations. He touched the bell.

and down they went. Again the but
Ter expressed hope that he would see
them.
Certainly; show them up" They
entered the room.
will you wash twelve collars for a
shilling?"
1--WE WILL" they cried.
THANK you-good day, good day"
said the master; and, touching the
bell, he said: knight. show these Ia
dies down"-and the strike was over.

Ir "a biob tima that tho crant

IT is high time that the crank
problem was being dealt with in a
practical and determined manner.
The fact that one of these unfortu-
mates may be irresponsible only makes
him the more dangerous and in
creases the necessity for placing him
under restraint. The death OF such
men as Garfield and Carter Harrison,
the attempts that have been made
upon the lives OF other great men of
the country and such threatenings
as the kidnapping of little Ruth
Cleveland, make more apparent the
imperative necessity of providing
some adequate means for the re-

Small Fruit Farming.

TO make a speciality of small fruits
is to use less land, give the best of

STRUCK THE WRONG FARMER.



An ExpsrImsnt with . Watch That Hap

We were talking about human ma
ture In general, and the human ma
ture of farmers In particular, when
the man who was travelling for a
button factory sagely Observed
@Yes, the average farmer is queer
man. They talk about his confiding
disposition, but he hasn't got it. On
the contrary, he suspects everybody
of intent to defraud him In some way.
SWELL, / dunno about that" said
one of the crowd.
Il think l can prove it to you In
ten minutes, replied the button man.
"Now, then, look at this watch and
estimate the value"
He handed out watch and chain,
and they were passed from hand to
hand. The watch was a fine one,
and the chain was solid gold, and the
lowest estimate was $500, says the
Detroit Free Press.
Il paid $500 in good money for the
OUTFIT" said the man. "One of you
come along into the smoking car and
we'll find a farmer I'll offer him
watch and chain for $50, and he'll
just think ! am trying to beat him.
If / lose l pay for six ainners. If
win somebody pays for mine"
He started out In company with
the man who had expressed his
doubts, and about the first man they
came TO In the smoking car was a
middle-aged farmer who had been to
Cleveland and had two new ak
helves in the seat beside him.
The button man held out the watch
and said:
any friend, am hard up and want
to sell this stuff, Look at it,"
"Don't want it," replied the far
mer.
"But must have money. Watch
and chain cost me $500. How much
will you give me?"
"Don't want to buy"
"Rut take them in your hand and
examine them. Even q child could

slipped them into his pocket and felt
for his calfskin. "Just got paid fol

1t had to be explained to the far.
mer that it all come about on a
wager, but he was pig-headed about
it, and the button man had to hand
him SO bill before he would cal
the bargain off.
