THE DAY.

To all its readers the Record Union"
gives the greeting of the day, merry
Christmas, long life, happiness and such
need Of good as is every ones due. While
we exchange the congratulations and
good wishes of the season and in sym
pathy grow nearer to each other in the
brotherhood of man on this day of all
the year, let us not forget that we are all
kin and that there are those of our
brethren to whom no pleasure will come
in this gIadsome time except we carry to
them from our store, and bless them
with recognition of their claims upon us.
The poor, the destitute, the homeless,
the parentless, the sick and afflicted-to
these let not only our hearts go out, but
cur hands reach forth also, with some
thing from our groaning tables and
bountiful store. We may bring to our
selves greater joys and more generous
blessings if we bestow upon those who
sorely need something from the COM
forts Of life which we enjoy.

concerning the sample copy privilege.
there can be no doubt as to the justice
Of the proposed measure so far as the
oook privilege is concerned Mr.. Loud
claims, however, that there is quite as
great abuse in the latter case, and that
twice the National Newspaper Publish
ers' Association. has resolved in approx

ing the sample copy privilege also.
Mr.. Loud says upon this subject in the
December Forum" that the newspa-
per publishers have approved the repeal
of the sample copy" privilege:
This, in spite of the fact that they
would be pecuniary losers by the imnle-
diate operation Of the change. If the
sample-copy privilege were limited to

call for its curtailment; but human in

Coffee Which Is Good.

To very many people a cup of cofee
means the whole of ones breakfast,
and if that cup is not perfect half the
day is spoiled. There are several diff
ferent ways to make splendid coffee
One method is to have a tinsmith
make a cup of perforated tin about the
size of a coffee cup with d securely
fitting cover into which is soldered
ring by which it may be removed from
the pot before the coffee is served. Into
this cup put a small tablespoonful OF
pulverized coffee for each person; let
it stand all night in the coffee pot with
one cupful of cold water for each spoon
full of coffee In the morning place
1t on the stove and let it come to 9
boil and then keep it hot on the bacR
of the stove while breakfast is put on
the table. Before serving remove the
cup containing the grounds and add q
cup of boiling water and you have cof-
fee which is perfect. A thin muslin
sack may be used in place of the cup,
but is not so satisfactory.
In serving the coffee put the sugar
and cream in the cup and then pour
on the coffee and the result will rival
the famous Vienna coffee.
To make good coffee from package
coffee take a tablespoonful for each
person, add one egg, mix well and add
cup of cold water for each spoonful
After boiling add a cup of hot water
TO replace what has steamed away. COT
fee to be used for dinner should be
prepared in cold water in the morning

RAZOR-BACK HAMS.
"A Virginia Delicacy That Has a
Wide Reputation.

In the twelfth and thirteenth annual
reports OF the Bureau of Animal Indus
try OF the Department of Agriculture a
high tribute is paid TO the "Smithfeld
ham" which is produced in Virginia,
IN the counties of Isle of Wight, Sur
rey, SOUTHAMPTON and Nansemond. An
inspector of the Department of Agri
culture hase made a special study of
its history and preparation. The fame
of the Smithfield ham is we'll estab-
lished, says the report, its "only rival"
being ''the celebrated Westphalia ham.
which many consider to be inferior"
The name is derived from a small town
on Pagan Creek, about thirty miles
from Norfolk, Va. Its reputation be-
gan about a hundred years ago with
the hams cured by a Mr. Todd of
Smithfield. It's sale is extensive, ex-
tending to all the larger cities of the
Union, and some of the thirty thousand
hams produced yearly go to Europe to
meet the demand of connoisseurs of
the Old World Much of the product
is sold in England and France to pri
vate parties, who order their hams "be-
fore the crop is cured"
Western pigs have been imported and
fattened as we'll as cured at Smithfield,
but the meat was unsatisfactory, being
coarse compared with the local pro-
duct. Strange to say, the animal

THE THREAT TO COMBINE.

The German Secretary of the Treas
ury, Baron Thielman, in supporting the
Government budget before the Reich
stag the other day, referred to our reve-
nue. laws and said that the role Amer
lea is playing in the sugar question re-
sembles that of the pike in the carp
pond, and that there is necessity for
the carp to combine against the COM
mon enemy. Unhappy simile. In this
part of the round globe the carp is
consummate nuisance. If Californians
could corral the men who introduced
him to our waters, they would fare Ill.
Hail the pike He should be more nu
merous and frequent and prove savior
Of the desirable finny tribe.
We know the habits of the German
carp 20 our sorrow, alas, and unluckily
for the Baron we are gratified that he
chooses the carp for one side Of his par
able. AS between the American pike
and German carp, who of this fair land
viii hesitate in choosing? But the idea
of a combination against the common
enemy suggested by the Baron is alb
surd. When commercial Europe learns
how to combine against commercial
America, the States of the former viii
discover how to knife each others trade
throats also, while ours will remain in
the bonds of indissoluble union.
Count Goluchowski of Austria was
moved to say in the Austrian Parlia-
ment the other day that 1t might be-
come necessary to form an alliance in
Europe against a condition of affairs
that is threatening the very existence
of Europeans" So, then. our home
trade interests are so vital to the ex
istence Of the European peoples, are
they, that we must be coerced into a
policy that will permit them to feed
upon US, while our industries vainly at
tempt to compete with cheap labor
manufactures and products of the Eu
ropean continent?
The London Spectator takes the
Count very seriously. and says that
presently the artisans Of Europe will
have no work, there being a too limited
market for their out put of produc
ton; and it asks what then will hap
penn To answer we should say
trouble" But shall We. for that rea-
son open our doors fully to the Eu-
ropeaa artisan and beg him to profit
by our needs, while our own starve for
lack Of labor?

must be the interests OF those Of its

the live must first apply to our own
before the '1et live" can be granted to
the stranger without our gates. That
IS human, reasonable. just.
However, we do not anticipate any
such combination as is limited at There
is a broad and anicabie basis upon
which the nations may meet, that of

race horse with legs of extraordinary
length 1t has a bad name among
farmers who breed fine stock. but fer
ham ii has no equal
Much depends on the proper feeding
and upon the curing of the hams. For
time IN the youth of the ''razor-back''
he is allowed in the summer to run
wild in the woods and gain thus a
gamy flavor. when he is turned into
fields from which crops have been gath
cred, where he begins to fatten. OF
this fattening process the report says.
In the fall. when the corn crop has
been gathered, the hogs are turned
into the corn fields. In these fields
every other row has been planted to
black-eyed peas. and the hogs are al
lowed to gather these and the small
corn that has been left in the field
When turned into these fields they are
very thin. The feed they get there
causes them TO begin to fatten rapidly
AS the potatoes are gathered the hogs
are allowed to follow in these fields and
get the small potatoes that are left. In
the district which produces the most
Smithdield hams there are a great many
sweet potatoes and peanuts raised, and
tnS HOSS tlte dliUW6u Tree access TO
these fields as soon as the crops are
gathered. The potatoes and particu-
larly the peanuts, add fat with aston
ishing rapidity, but the fat is very
soft. Peanut fat in particular has
translucent, oily character. which from
its tendency to drip when the hams are
hung up causes a great shrinkage in
the weight" After the raZor-back has
cleaned up the fields the next step is
to pen him up and give him corn and
plenty of clean water. With this diet
he fattens quickly TO the desired ex-
tent. The curing is With Liverpool
salt and saItpetre, after which the
hams are washed clean and slowly
smoked for forty days with green hick
ory or red oak. Many farmers raise
the hogs, but few cure them. They
are sold to skilled curers, who supply
the market with about three hundred
thousand pounds of ham yearly.-Bal-

extent leading a life that was double,
and that she was moving out of ousl-
ness hours often in an atmosphere not
in keeping with modesty and wornanly
cleanliness or business probity
The story that she was nightly en-
fresh and blooming each morning, is
undoubtedly exaggeration. But it IS
asserted that there is fire enough in
it all to account for so much smoke
of gossip and scandal The incident
serves, whether broadened by rumor or
not, to make the point that the girl is
the natural result of system that Will
produce more of her kind; a system
against which the Record Union" has
lifted its voice these many years, name
ly, the putting of women into business
walks to the exclusion of men. rms
unhappy girl. who has proved to be a
saint, was in a commercial life. every
activity of which is calculated to roo
young womanhood of its sensibility, its
feminine charm, its taste for do
life for women that units them for
the nobler and higher sphere for which
by nature they are intended.
OF course, in reply to this protest we
women in business life who do not go
wrong, who maintain virtuous reputa-
tions, and who by their labor aid needy
families But in this matter we must
the immediate, and contemplate the fu-
ture of women, if they are to displace
men in business, as they are now dong:
consider in short, what will be the re-
suit of a few generations of women
taken from home and placed where all
training is of the cold, almost heartless
order
We insist that the inevitable result
duce an. enoromus number of women
who are practically men in all but
sex; women in whom domestic tastes
will have no place; women who will
be unified for wives or motherhood;
women who will be masculine in
tastes, habits and manners. The race
will suffer bitterly in consequence. The
time will come when the hard, cold and
inexpensive countenance will prevail
with these women, and when commerce.
trade and barter will form the staple
subjects of their thoughts and conver-
sation, and when womanly softness,
womanly affection, womanly arts,
motherly pride and desire, domestic
tastes and hearthstone sovereignty will
be as unfenainine as they are now up
lifting, ennobling and purifying.
In the meantime the displaced man
will be less encouraged and capacltated
to be a home builder a natural care
taker and provider. Marriage will be
less desirable and desired, and home
influences will give way for the cold
and formal ways of the business wo-
man, than whom before the throne of
heaven there will not appear a less
feminine product Of civilization.
