THE FERRIS WHEEL.

The mammoth Ferris wheel
will probably be taken away from
Chicago before many months
have passed. What is to be done
with it is still in doubt; but the
company now owning it is thor
oughly convinced it can no longer
be made paying amusement in
vestment in Chicago, says a local
exchange. Negotiations have
been pending for some time to
take it to one Of the seashore re-
sorts near New York, preferably
Coney Island, and it is more than
likely this will be the disposition
made of it. Though the Ferris
wheel was considered one of the
wonders Of the world $ fair, it has
never since appealed to amuse-
ment seekers in this vicinity.
Ferris Wheel park, an uncom-
monty pretty resort, was built
around it on the present site in
North Clark street, and even this
failed to attract the public until a
variety performance was intro
duced. Since then the attend
ance has been uniformly large,
and the management is doubtless
convinced that the park will be
equally successful if the wheel is
taken elsewhere.

LINCOLN AND THE HAIR RE.
STORER.

Here is a story of President
Lincoln from the late Judge Car
ter, who was member of con
gress from Cleveland during the
war and one of Mr.. Lincoln $
most intimate friends. Itrelates
to Quaker philanthropist from
Philadelphia who did not have a
hair on his head, but took great
interest in public affairs and was
constantly calling at the White
House in behalf of somebody or
other who happened to be in trou-
bic and took up Il great deal of
Mr.. Lincoln's time. The presi-
dent treated him with great
courtesy, although his patience
was frequently tried. One day
when the philanthropist was par
ticularly verbose and persistent
and refused to depart, although
he knew that important delega-
tions We're waiting, Mr.. Lincoln
suddenly rose, walked over to a
wardrobe in the corner of the
cabinet chamber and took a bottle
from a shelf. Handing it to his
visitor, he remarked:
"Did you ever use this stuff on
your head?"
"No, sir: | never did"
"Well, remarked Mr.. Lincoln,
81 advise you to try it, and if at
first you don't succeed, keep it
up. They say it's u good thing
to mako the hair grow. Take
this bottle with you and come
back in six months and tell me
how it works"
The astonished philanthropist
covered his polished pate with his
broad brimmcd hat and left the
room, while Judge Carter, com
ing in with the next delegation,
found the president over in the
corner doubled up with laughter
at the success of his strategy,
and before he could proceed to
business the story had to be told.

TO CURE HAMS ANDBACON.

There are two methods of cur
ing on the farm-dry sailing and
picking. Dry sailing is more
largely practiced than picking,
but in our experience we have
been led to prefer the picking.
A brine strong enough to float
potato is used, and after the
meat is cut and trimmed it is
dropped into this brine for two
or three days to draw out the
blood 1t is then taken out and a
fresh brine is made, or the old
brine boiled and Skinned. To
the brine we then add one ounce
of saltpetre and pint of black
molasses for each 100 pounds of
meat. The meat is then return
ed to the brine, the thinner parts
remain in the brine three weeks,
and the hams four or five weeks,
care being taken to keep all under
the brine The meat is then tax
ON out and hung in the smoke
house, or elsewhere to drip and
dry somewhat. 1t is then slowly
smoked with corn cobs or hickory
wood, the smoke being smother

es if they are to be had. The
smoking is continued for several
weeks in favorably cloudy wealth.
er, until all are well smoked. The
hams should have the upper part
of the smoke house, where the
smoke hangs longest.
In the early spring the hams
are taken down and rubbed well
all over with a mixture of molas-
ses and black pepper. They are
then wrapped in stout paper and
put into cottage bags, which are
dipped in whitewash, and are
again hung up. Some pack them
down in the chatf, but we prefer
to keep them hanging. They are
at their best for the table or mar
ket at a year old, and one who
tastes year old or older ham
cured in this way, never wants to
taste the "embalmed hams" OF
the Western packers again as
long as he lives.

THE CORPSE AND THE DOG.

The other day a woman ship
ped her husbands s remains over
the n. Y. Central. At Albany she
appeared at the door of the bag
gage car to see how they were
getting along.
GLOW does he seem to be do
ing?" she asked with sniff.
'FWho, the corpse ?" inquired
the baggage master kindly.
"No, the dog"
ooh, he's comfortable, replied
the baggage man.
"Anybody boon sitting down on
him?"
"Who, the dog?"
"No, the corpse.
"Certainly not" answered the
baggage man.
"Does it seem cool enough in
here for him."
"For who, the corpse?"
"No, the dog"
81 think So" grinned the bag
gage master.
"Does the jolting appear to af-
feet him any"
"Affect who, the dog?"
"No, the corpse.
81 don't believe it does"
"You'll keep an eye ON him,
won't you?" she asked, wiping a
tear away.
''On who, the corpse?"
"No, the dog"
And having secured the bag
gage mans promise, she went
back to her coach apparently con-
tented.

HIS NERVE WON.

''It was such Il good joke on

girl in blue as they stirred their
chocolate, "that | must tell you.
"You know how John has been

"He did it a little more awk,

HAWTHORNE AND SALEM.

Way down in Il little side street
in Salem is Hawthorne's birth
place. 1t is modest, but withal a
proper house with Il gambrel
roof, without which no house
need apply for the position of
bringing forth celebrities. Be
yond is that bore of Il custom

of seven gables. You will be pur-
sued by little boys who spot your
tourists intent and who give you
Hawthorne's history at a rate
that threatens the urchin's ton
que and teeth. When they are
through, if you have not under
stood it all, they will say it all
over again. A penny in the slot

PROSPECT FOR GOOD PRICES
FOR WHEAT.

Statistics prepared by John
Hyde, the expert of the agricul-
tural department at Washington,
show that the wheat supply of
the world this year, as compared
with last, is one-eighth smaller.
The average of three of the best
estimates of the wheat crop for
1899 gives the total yield as B.
$40, 100000 bushels, leaving a diff
ference of 327, 100000 bushels be-
tween the crop this year and last
In everything, save in maize,
there is a striking shortage, while
in maize there is a surplus. These
facts cannot but help to influence
the price of wheat for the better.
While the world S crop has shown
a shortage, the crop in this coun-
try is Il record breaking one.
The world therefore must come
to the American markets for flour
and its bread for the coming -
months. The certainty that this
will occur will have the effect of
strengthening prices.

HOW TO COOK ONIONS.

Onions are not only delicious
when properly prepared, but
they are said to be almost the
best nervine known. Nothing
will so quickly relieve nervous
prostration. They are less di-
gestible raw, and yet many per-
sons eat them very freely in that
state without discomfort. Onions
should be boiled from one to two
hours. If they are peeled under
water tears will be avoided. AT
ter the onions are boiled until
tender drain and pour them over
Il white sauce, or melted butter,
pepper and salt. If brown ON
ions are desired for garnishing,
place them, after they are boiled
tender, in Il pan; sprinkle with
salt, pepper and a little sugar
and put them in q hot oven to
brown,

What becomes of all the pen
nies? A superficial answer might
be that we spend them, as in
truth we do; but did you ever stop
to consider the enormous quanti-
ties of the little copper coins turn
ed out by the Philadelphia mint
every year? The figures are re-
ally appalling in their magnitude,
There are at present about | ,000,-
100000 cents in circulation, and
yet the mint is compelled to turn
out nearly 100000 a month to
keep up the supply, Itseems as
though this most common coin
must in some mysterious fashion
vanish in the air, for surely no
body boards them.

PAYING OUT SCHOOL FUNDS.

A Harrisburg special Of October 10
says: OF the more than =, 100 school
districts in Pennsylvania, about 800
have received their share of the APP
preparation of $500, 600 made by We
legislature. About 5000, 600 have
been distributed among them, leaving
50, 800, 900 to be divided among the
!, 100 districts which have received no
allowance on their claims. Very few
of the larger districts have been paid
their proportion of the appropriation,
because it has been deemed good poll
cy 10y the state treasurer to meet the
claims of the smaller ones first. Since
the payment OF the appropriation was
begun about $780, 600 ON the average
weekly has been disbursed, but recent
ly the average has been considerably
higher, increased receipts justifying
increased payments for common school
purposes. 1t is expected that the en-
tire sum will be paid out 10y the first
of March next, three month before
the next appropriation reduced
from $5,5OO,OO to $1,000, 900 by GOV.
