Preserving Meat.

With little care in feeding and
planning ahead, the farmer can store
up a good supply Of meat at COM
paratively low cost. Of pork, especi-
ally, if more is cured than is needed,
it can readily be sold at price that
will give good return.
Probably the easiest, as we'll as
most economical, way Of putting up
beef is by picking. Have the animal
in good condition, and after butcher,
ing, cut the carcass into quarters and
hang it over night to cool out the
animal heat. In cutting up, care
should be taken to wash or cut off all
the bloody pieces. 1t is best when
salted down, especially for family use,
to cut the meat into convenient pieces
for cooking, as this can always be
done with less trouble before than
after picking.
Have the barrel in which the meat
is to be packed clean and of sufficient
size, so that when the meat is all in,
it can be covered with brine. Put in
a layer Of salt, then layer OF meat:
sprinkle with salt and put in another
layer of meat, and so on till the YES
sci is full. Then pour cold water over
until all is covered. Lett stand three
or four days, and then pour of the
water or brine as clean as possible.
Make brine as strong as the salt Will
dissolve and pour it over the meat
until covered again. This is the easl-
est and simplest plan.
Another is to pack the beef away
the same as before, and then make a
strong salt brine, adding an ounce of

WEBSTER'S OLD WAGON.
It Deserves a Better Fate In It's
Honest Old Age.
Strong Evidence That It Was Honestly
and Faithfully Made "A Histor-
loal Old Vehicle That Is Be-
Ing Allowed to Rot.

Daniel Webster's old yellow wagon
now stands In dreary spot on Pet
tis plain in Greenfield. If 1t could
speak it could tell an interesting
story.
Once the family wagon Of the great
statesman, then to be finally sold for
a bull terrier, and allowed to stand on
a dreary plain, filed with snow in
winter and to be used as roosting
place of turkeys, tells in o single
sen tence some of the mutations OF
fortune that have come to the old
carriage. Notwithstanding the hard
luck that has come to 1t in its old
age, it still retains evidence that 1t
was honestly and faithfully made,
and is capable Of doing still further
service.
It was made for Daniel Webster
somewhere in New Hampshire, about
1928 or 1880. It was taken to Marsh
field when the great statesman was
at the zenith of power and reputa.
tion. It was frequently used by Mr..
Webster and members of his family.
It was then that the name of "yel-
low wagon" was given 1t, presume
bly, because it was painted yellow.
Years after Mr.. Webster's death 1t
was found stored away on some
beams in an old shed. Itwas sold to
Willard Houghton, Of Houghton's
express. He had the wagon put In
order and used it.
Something like dozen years ago
there was o craze for old wagons In
Franklin county, and the Webster
wagon was purchased by George 7.
G. Holden, now of Hudson, q
well known landlord, who was
then residing in Greenfield. The old
wagon was made to look as well as
possible, and it excited much inter-
est. twas used by Mr.. Holden for
pleasure driving, and was shown at
various times when collections OF an
tiquities were exhibited.
In time Mr.. Holden disposed OF
his livery business to Thomas Minis,
now Of Athol, and the old wagon
went with the remainder Of the
stock. Mr.. Minis had no use for the
old wagon, and traded it one day to
Henry S. Wood, receiving in re-
turn q bull terrier dog. The dog
was named Daniel Webster, and is
still alive and owned by the Minis
family in Greenfield. MIR. Wood used
the old wagon until he tired of it,
and then allowed 1t to stand out OF
doors on Pettis' plain. It now has
for company several broken down
carriages, and the turkeys that roam
over the plain use it as roosting
place at night.
One or two boards are missing
from the bottom Of the body, but
otherwise than this 1t is capable OF
rendering excellent service for many
years to come. The axles are en-
tlrely of wood, and all the iron work
is hand made. The springs are Of
wood and are attached to the body
by. leather straps. The other day
the old wagon was shown at the field
day exercises Of the Pocomtuck Val
ley Memorial association, and was
given the post Of nor.-Boston

Tho theory that turquoises are the
result of the fossilization of the teeth
of animals is apparently confirmed
by the experiments of q French scien-
tist, who has found that fossil bones,
nmethysts, and turquoises all contain
fuorin. Upon chemical analysisit was
found that the turquoises contain cx-
actly the same proportion OF fiuorin as
the bones of tertiary fossils.

only such as are frequently to be met with
in business practice. AT times the names
involved are those of corporations OF the
District, and pupils buy or sell ana pay
brokerage on the Washington and George
town Railroad and other stock, or flnd
the cost of discounting notes at certain
District bank, or of buying a draft of eX-
change from Washington on other cities,
or open q supposed savings bank ac-
count and find what it will amount to IN
a certain time. Sometimes, also, the
pupil is encouraged to consider himself one
of the parties in business transaction ana
to find how best to invest q certain amount
of his own money or to make a certain
supposed payment
Yet this is entirely secondary to thesteady
drill, drill, in the pure mathematics OF the
various business calculations ranging from
simple percentage, and profit ana loss,
through intricate interest problems, bank
accounts, equation of payments ana part
nership. f
incidentally, moreover, the pupils gain
quite an insight into business methods,
the wording and endorsing of notes, and
quite knowledge of akiud thatthose who
enter business without previous special
education, must pick up by slow degrees,
blunderiug meanwhile over the simplest
of points.
The pupil gains a good knowledge of
commissions, of all calculationsinco connection
with banking, domestic and foreign
exchange and commercial papers. He
insures himself, his real estate, his vessels;
he gains knowledge of custom house
duties, and calculates the tax on the as
sumed value of his property, discovering
incidentally, that he has no poll tax to pay
because he lives in the District ofColumbia.
By practice in mental exercises, ranging
through all subjects; by instruction in
simple methods of rapid calculation,
making change, etc, the pupil is taught
to reason clearly, aud to work with ac-
curacy and rapidity.
In few words, then the course in Busi-
ness Arithmetic aims to give the pupils
thorough knowledge of all business calcu-
lations of practical use, and to train him
in accurate calculation and reasoning by
means of mental exercises.

The increase, however, has not kept pace

tice.
The junior pupils, who practice two
hours week each, are first thoroughly
drilled in finger exercises with as much
care as If they Were using piano. After
these exercises are mastered, practice

The senior pupils, having had one years
instruction, are ready to begin the tran
scmption of stenographic notes imme-
diately upon entering the second year.
The time allotted for each pupil is in
creased TO four hours a week, and in
connection with their work pupils are
required to make duplicate copies by means
OF carbon paper and the letter press, to
properly indorse and fold legal and other
documents, and are instructed, as fully
as circumstances Will permit, in the or
binary routine of a business office.
Throughout the course the effort is
made to secure accuracy rather than
speed, and no copy is accepted that is
imperfect. That the pupils realize the
necessity for accuracy is revealed in a
comparison received by an English teacher:

This, then, is the distinctive function OF

terse yet courteous, concise yet complete
style appropriate to commercial intercourse,
and to familiarize the pupils with those
forms and instruments most commonly
employed i'll business transactions. This
should be Well done; yet to do this solely
would i'll fulfill the purposes of the Busi-
ness High School
Pupils come from the grades having al
readythepow osequentially arrangetheir
ideas upon such simple subjects as they
have hitherto handled, and to express
those ideas in fairly correct, if childish,
English. They have analyZed sentences OF
considerable cOmpleXity, are familiar with
the use ofconjunctivep pronouns and adverbs,
understand the offices Of auxiliaries and
participles, and have been drilled in the
employment of the most striking English
ldlons. That the synthetic power has not
kept pace with the analytic is the fault not

opment, with which the teacher, ,psychically
instructed does not quarrel, knowing well

Upon this basis, narrow, but substan-
tial, the English teacher builds, strength

power, exercising the pupils in suitable
expression, aud increasing the accuracy

prlnclple uf unification of studies here
comes into play, the stenography and

success. Where this mutual aid and in-
terdependence can be produced, the main
defect in departmental teaching is ubvi-

In these days we find that many men
have lost their all by a neglect
OF legal requirements, and that
the makeshifts or those struggling on the
verge of bankruptcy, when ignorant OF
the law, produce abundant litigation for
an innocent posterity and an almost con-
tinual harvest for lawyers and money
lenders The very fact Of the thousands

titles, rendered cOntestable By the draft
ing OF papers by those ignorant OF legal
form. are sUfficiraI proof of the giaring
necessity OF instruction IN the elements OF
law. Should legal accuracy De confined
TO lawyers any more than that physicians
should be given monopoly or health?
The Business High School strives in its
department of commercial law 10 instruct
the Washington boy and girl in those
elements OF law which exist wherever
society exists. The subject that is first
brought To the attention OF the pupil is
that of contracts. The student isshown how
from birth to burial the citizen Is continually
surrounded by ContraCtual law He must
keep pure the very air De bTeathes; he
must control his every action so that ne may

The pupil is made to construct leases,

the many forms OF commercial paper. He
Is also shown the legal effect OF these dOCu-
nents and how they affect Suciety and the
individual The special features OF the
statutory law OF the District as IL nIOdifies
the ancient common law of Maryland and
England are also emphasized. The law
of contracts as II affects commercial paper
and insurance: as il affects husband and
wife. father and child. master and servant;
and in short as it is likely To affect each
citizen, however humble. in his daily walk
AMI conversation, all these are impressed
fOrcibly on the pupil. The laws
relating To corporations, agency,

are similarly elucidated and by both COM

Yet in that one year il may safely be stated
that an industrious pupil can obtain Enowl-

systems extant it was decided to teach

As the school grew it was found possible
to raise the standard OF efficiency, so that
to-day the senior classes are writing an

The entire first year is devoted to a
mastery OF principles aud easy sentence

second year business letters form the
ma jur part OF the work, the English OF
the dictatiuu being carefully revised by
the teacher. Later, parliamentary pro-
ceedings followed by law forms aud mis-
ceIlaneuus matter gathered from different
sources are dictated. A peculiar feature
of the instruction is that pupils are never
allowed to write shorthand with the OBJ
ject uf simply acquiring the mechanical
art, as all matter dictated has an edlica-
tiunaI value other than its Photographic
merit. For instance, parliamentary
procedure is practically taught by debating
minutes of meetings. the pupils per
sunating the various characters and aCtu-
ally carrying on a meeting. reading all
speeches from their notes. Should a law
paper, such as deed or lease, be
used, the shorthand teacher gives brief

The practical advantage OF this course
has been demonstrated by the fact that a
large number of graduates are holding re-
munerative positions as ste nographerS
and private eCretaries. Its educational
advantages are that the pupil is trained
to be logical, quick, observant, 10 have
a good memory and 10 use common sense
The most notable Improvement due
to the study of this subject is 70 be found
in the spelling, punctuation, pronuncia-
tion and enunCiation of the pupil, as well
as in a better comprehension of the
English language.
