Biu TO Reduce Wages.

Workingmen who are students OF the
situation will observe that the starting
up" of mills, factories, ETC., SO con-
spicuously referred to by the Cleveland
organs, Is usually accompanied by re-
duction of wages. This is in accordance
with the yesrnings of the supporters of
the Wilson bill. There is to be acheapen-
ing OF things all around, and the first
thing to be cheapened is the wage OF the
toiler.

Where the Skin is Most Sensitive.

An experimental study, by William
O. Krohn, of simultaneous stimulations
of the sense of touch, made upon ten
different persons, among its interest
ing results showed that skin over the
Joints is much more sensitive than at
other places; that touches on the back
of the body are more distinctly felt,
more clearly remembered, and there
fore better localized than on the front
part of the body; that the localiza-
tio1s are better for points not on the
median line than for those on it; that
they are not so correctly made Oh the
left as on the right side of the body;
that they are better on hairy portions
than on those not covered with hairs;
and that difference in the power OF
correct localization exists between usu-
ally clothed and usually unclothed
parts; the parts not covered, except
in case of the joints, giving the more
correct localizations. Popular Science

If a little saltpetre is added the pork
will harden and assume a reddish
tint.
The parts destined for hams or b.
con should be salted by themselves.
This curing should be sufficient to
season them only, as if too much salt
is used the flavor is affected. To make
a pickle for 100 pounds of ham or be-
con take four gallons of water, six
pounds of salt, two and half ounces
of saltpetre, one and half pounds of
granulated sugar. Boil, skim and use
wher cold.
For dry sailing the proportions are
pound of brown sugar to four
pounds of salt. The hams should be
rubbed daily for ten days with the
preparation, after which they are
ready for smoking.
The meat should be hung up so as
to dry thoroughly before smoking is
attempted. Six days of consecutive
smoking in a dark house is sufficient.
Corncobs, green hickory or sugar
maple chips are good for smoking.
Some people prefer hardwood saw
dust. The pieces should then be hung
in a dark, dry place, Of even tempera-
ture. When perfectly dry pack in
boxes with sweet, well-dried clean hay
and cover with the same material. -

A Much. Robbed Stage.Coa ch,

There is to-day in Phoenix, Arizona,
a stage-coach that has been held up
and robbed oftener than any other in
existence. 1t has seen its best days,
and now stands dismantled and dilapi-
dated in the back yard of livery
stable, but could it talk, many are the
tales it could tell of brigandage that
would lay the exploits of Claude Du-
val in their shadow.
It began running in the seventies
between Prescott and Tombstone, and
has actually been robbed eighty-three
times. Eight drivers and as many ex-
press messengers have been killed
from its box, and as passengers in
those days went armed to defend
themselves and property. not O few
fatalities have occurred among them
and the brigands. 1t was originally
handsome Concord coach, pulled by
eight mules, and cost $1,000 at Tucson,
but its sides are now split by rife and
pistol bullets, and in more than one
place the leather lining shows the
wild stroke of bowie knife. Los

An Electrified Sidewalk.

People in the neighborhood of the
corner of Maine and State streets had
some excitement yesterday shortly
after noon. A trolley supply wire in
some way broke away from the insu-
lator and came in contact with the iron
pole. The electric fluid soon reached
the sidewalk and filled the icy bricks
so that several persons received severe
shocks. For while, as the first VIC
Tins watched for the ones who might
follow, there was lots of fun.
A man would come along, and as he
reached the limits of the electricity s
force, would stop suddenly and look
down to see what had struck him. A
step forward and another severe
shock and he would grow pale and all
sorts of awful things began to rush on
him. Dire diseases which began by
such awful symptoms, the victim would
reason, must be shortly fatal, but soon
the laugh of some watchers or the
sight of another victim would reassurc
him, and soon the cause was found.
But the funniest of all was little dog
who came running ioyously down the
street and on to the charmed walk.
Then came howl of wild anguish
and surprise, and the dog tried to
leave. But he couldn't; the harder
he tried the closer he was drawn toward
the pole. He lay down; worse yet; =;
every hair formed wire, as it were,
to conduct the fluid to his body. At
last desperate jerk. and he fell into
the gutter, where he found relief.
Soon after the wire was fixed, anil the
fun ceased. Springfield Mass Re

THE aENrnER esAcEs.

There is great need Of the cultivation Of
the gentler graces of the Christian It Is not
a little strange that their importance should
be so greatly undervalued, In comparison OF
the more snowy and imposing qualities OF
character. They are pre-eminently charac-
teristfc of our Lord and Master, who "hath
left us an example that we should follow In
His steps," And when the apostle would en-
force duty by the most impressive motives,
he s'beseeches by the meekness rnd gentle
ness of Christ" When he clusters together
the fruits of the Spirit, his specifications are
chiefly Of this class: 'love, JOY, peace, long
suffering, meekness: gentleness, goodness,
faith" The first-named Of thesehe describes
as Of more worth than the gift OF speaking
with the tongues of angels; superior TO az
knowledge and power to solve all mysteryi
more acceptable to God than the giving OF
ones body to be burned. Why then are they
made 80 little amount Of? It Is to the want
Of these that we may trace the turmoil aud
strife with which earth Is vexed. No other
qualities can serve as substitute for them.
They are needed as antidotes to the trials tho
disappointments and vexations OF life. Who
can sufficiently prize quiet, coniding spirit,
which stays Itself on God amidst the Earrings
and confusion OF earth.

Vagab0nd Life in Germany.

Here is picture of vagabond life in
Germany, as to which writer in the
Forum gives some interesting details:
81 have myself talked with Ger
man, a very bright fellow, who tells
me that he spent the three years fol-
lowing the close of his apprenticeship
tramping up and down the most charm
ing stretches of the Rhine. How his
eyes danced as he told of his expert
ences! In fair weather he and his
friends slept by preference at "Mother
Green's lin the open air, } their packs
with all valuables carefully tucked un-
der their heads. their companions
stretched out hither and thither along
the edge of the road. Chausseegra-
bentapezirer, (highway-ditch uphol-
sterers, is one of their favorite names
for the craft. Then up and away early,
while the air is cool and the dew is on
the grapes. sAh, how sweet they
smell!' he exclaimed with sigh of
longing. 'Gruss Matilda !! is the cherry
cry of recognition to the fellow crafts
men whom they meet. The houses
are carefully watched, and when they
see one where coffee is being served
that is where they stop for breakfast,
seldom asking in vain. Then halt and
rest under this shady tree! Eat of it's
fruits, then take nap-sMan muss
sich schonen, NIGHT wahr!' One must
spare ones self, must he not?) But
be sure to waken in time to make a
Herberge before the doors are shut;
for it looks like rain; and you have a
few pennies still left, and your papers
are genuine, or else skilfully forged;
you need not fear the Blitzableiter
('the lightning rod:') that is the police
man. And in the Rerberge take your
beer and your pipe. And hang your
garments 80 that there will be clean
space on the line between them and
your neighbors. And 80 on! one day
after'another until Water Weiss Father
Whlte) covers Mutter Gruen with his
cold mantle, driving you from her
hospitsble embrace. 'The pleasantest
life in the worldI he calculated.
