Bacon Curing in England.

Take the whole side, after the ham
and shoulder have been removed, and
rub it with the following mixture:
For each 100 pounds of meat, seven
pounds of salt, one pound of brown
sugar and four ounces of saltpeter,
finely powdered and mixed together.
Spread this compound on the flesh
side of the meat only and rub it in
we'll. Lay another piece on the first
one, treat it in the same manner, and
so proceed until all the meat is salt
ed. Let it remain in this compound
for three weeks; it will then be
ready to hang up to dry or to smoke,
when it should be wiped off.

Now Under the Doctor.

They were lodging in Highland
cottage, and their cupboard was we'll
stocked with good after-dinner
wines.
One day the sherry bottle was
found uncorkcd, and on the follow
ing day it had again been tapped"
They determined to set a trap.
Brown had some hair wash of a
yellowish color, and with this the
sherry was soon diluted. Notwith-
standing this, the wine" grew less
day by day, and at last the bottle
was empty. Then the dodgers chuc
killed.. and prepared to interview the
landlady.
II am sorry to complain" said
Brown to her, "but surely the empty
state of the bottle requires some ex-
planation."
"Weel, sir" said the good wife,

gentleman who was here before We

soup, and so I've just been giein'
you a glass in yours" -London An

Rape Not Good for Horses.

Rape is essentially a sheep feed.
Prof. Shaw, of Minnesota, who intro
duced rape into this country, says
that it is an ideal succulent crop for
sheep, but does not recommend it for
horses and mich cows. If horses
will eat it they should not be per-
mitted to pasture on it only for a
short time each day. We doubt if
they will eat it if they can get grass
or hay. If you have some sheep they
will make good gains on rape and
will eat it with avidiy.-Farmers'
Voice.

TO SAVE SABLE ISLAND.
Trees Grown ON Its Wreck
= Strewn Shores,

The Canadian government is TAX
Ing steps to prevent the washing
| away of what is Familiarity known as
1.-THE graveyard of the Atlantic" Dur
ing his visit to the Paris exposition,
| Maj. Gourdeau, deputy minister of
! marine and fisheries, made an exam
nation of a number of sandy forma-
tions off the coast of France, which
the French government has succeed
ed in preserving by the simple pro-
cess of planting them with a particu-
lar tree, possessing binding quantities
in it's roots. The Canadian govern
ment decided to import some of these
| trees as an experiment ON Sable is
land, and a quantity has arrived, and
now awaits shipment to the island,
where the trees will be planted
around it's now threatening shores,
! says the Buffalo Transcript.
The urgent need of this action can
be gathered from he fact that the is
land was once 40 miles in length,
while to-day it is barely half that
length and only two miles in width.
The encroachments of the sea have
gradually shifted the sand until now
over half of the island is completely
submerged. 1t is anticipated that if
the island is covered with trees it will
stand out more clearly and sharply
defined to the officers of ships in the
vicinity than at present, and thus
prove a boon to mariners, who dread
this treacherous spot.
Notwithstanding it's remoteness
and inhospitable characteristics, Sa-
BILE island possesses many points of
interest which make it worthy of a
visit. It's race of ponies, which are
annually penned and shipped to Hall
fax for sale, is famous. It also con-
tains a small colony of people who
at least have no ground for longing
"for lodge in some vast wilderness"
1t is recorded that some years ago
ship, in whose timber a colony OF
rats had it's abode, went down of
the island, and the rats succeeded in
getting ashore. Before long they had
multiplied to such an extent as to
have become source of danger to
the settlers, but it was not until
they had well-nigh destroyed all the
food supplies on the island and had
brought the settlers face to face
with starvation that the latter be-
thought themselves and imported
some Nova Scotian cats, which kept
the pest in check until passing ship
left a pair of foxes on the island.
That was the beginning of the END OF
both rats and cats. The foxes soon
overran the island. They killed, not
only the rats, but the cats as well,
and how best to deal with the foxes
is now under consideration OF the
government.

Embarrassment appears to be the
natural concomitant of matrimony.
At least this is true in the incipien

a striking contrast between the rela.

both at the same time. If they come a

MONEN Fop FINE aRrs.

New York. Nov. 16.-It was ANNOUNCE
ed today that the executive committee
of the Fine Arts Federation has de-
iided thar the proposed United Fine
Arts building should cost $1,000 900
and be situated within the district
bounded by Twenty-thlrd and Sixty
first streets and Sixth and Fourth ava
nues. and that its front should be upon
FIFTH avenue or Madison avenue, or ur-
OF an open square
The committee decided that the site
SHOULD contain not less than 10000
square .eSt. In regard to the admins
,lation OF the building, it was thought
best that the management should h'
vested ia IN incorporated society, with
4 board of trustees. Il was as
agreed that proper legislation shon't
be obtained to secure exemption fror,
taxation and some reasonable guaran'
tee provided toward the maintenance
Of the property, either by endowment
or by municipal appropriation.

lature gave the Board of Health $13,.

tional $4,000 under the head of fumi

pears to have got more than the Execu-
