SOME COSTLY SMOKED MEATS.
Fine Hams and Bacon from Ireland
That Rival the Product Of
Virginia.

"The costliest Of all the smoked
meats" said a dealer in such things,
according to the Chicago Inter Ocean,
"are the fine hams and bacon that
come from Limerick, Ireland. The
prices of these meats may vary slight
ly from time to time, the hams selling
usually, however, at from 33 to IS cents
a pound, and the bacon at so or SO cents
a pound.
"These costly smoked meats are
made from fine hogs that are fed and
tended with scrupulous care. The cur
ing process is a secret. The result is
shown in meats of such quality and
flavor as to commend them most
highly.
"Of course, there are fine hams pro-
duced here, also, notably those of Vir-
ginia, the finest of which bring "a cents
a pound. Included in the price of the
Limerick hams and bacon is a duty of
five cents a pound. If you were to add
that to the price of the Virginia hams
you would raise the cost of them to
20 cents, and adding further the cost
of transportation from Europe would
bring the Virginia hams pretty close
to those of Limerick in price; so that
in their original cost they are about
the same.
"As to which is the better ham, that
would be largely a matter of taste.
The Irish ham is rich and juicy, the
Virginia is of a more delicate flavor"

TIL CALENDAR T
Giving Of Them as Holiday Gifts, an
Ancient Custom That Is Grow
ing in Popularity.

The custom of giving calendars at
the holiday season seems to be rapid
ly extending, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph, and the gifts are made each
year ornate and expensive.
Although thus becoming known to an
Overwhelming circle of givers and re-
ceivers the custom is by no means a
new one. It was known to the Greeks
and the Romans as early as the second
century of our era, the primitive al
manacs made by the scribes of Alex
andria being offered, with other costly
gifts, to rulers and great personages.
One of the first uses of the art of print
ing was to issue an almanac or call
endar, called the K~alendarium Novum,
at Buda, in Hungary. in the year 1875.
It was a costly publication, ten crowns,
gold, beingpaid for a single copy, which
served as a gift to King Matthias. The.
almanac displaced the calendar after
the invention of printing, but the
monthly record of days as we now
know it was received in the eighteenth
century, and has gradually attainedin in
dependent Importance. 1t may fairly
be said that the printed calendarshave
never been so beautiful as those is
sued'for this year.

ENGLAND's "wEDD1NG-R1NG.'
Said to Signify a King Welded to
His People-Legend Of the
Royal C1rclet.

"The wedding ring of England" is of
plain gold, set with a large table ruby,
on which the cross of St. George is
engraved, says Lippincott's. Legend
says that this ring belonged to Ed
ward the Confessor, and that he be-
slowed it on an old beggar who asked
an aims of him, he having nothing
else at hand at the moment. Soon
afterwards two English pilgrims lost
their way in the Holy Land and were
succored by a ''fayre olde man." who
on parting said to them: ST am Johan
the Evangelist; and sage ye' vnto, Eds
ward yovr kyng that I CRETE him well
by the token that he gait to me, thys
ringe, with hys n handles" Ger
tain it is that James IL, when detained
by the fishermen of Sheerness on his
first attempt to flee the country in
1858, contrived to hide a ring, called
'sthe coronation ring" in his clothing.
This was a favorite ring of Mary
Queen of Scots, and was sent by her at
her death to James l., finally coming
into the possession of George ".
through the channels bS which he OBJ
tanned all the remaining papers of the
house of Stuart.
The archbishop puts the ring on the
fourth finger of his majesty's right
hand, saying: "Receive this ring, the
ensign of kingly dignity and of de-
tense of the Catholic faith"

APT IN OPTICAL WORK.
Women Are Said to Have a Peculiar
Faculty for Conserving the
E~yesight. #

One of the professions that seem
admirably suited to women is that Of
the optician, and many have entered
that field of endeavor and are win
ming success purely on the ground of
merita Not only are these women
proving their a~daptability for the
work, but they are making it remu-
nerative as we'll. In these days when
even babies are put into glasses and
when each successive generation finds
eye troubles more prevalent, it is
plain to be seen that the demand for
good opticians as we'll as oculists
must continually increase.
Professors of optics frequently pre-
fer women as assistants because of
their accuracy and discrimination,
things which are absolutely essential
in the measurement, and fitting of
spectacle frames and the fitting of
glasses to the eye. 10 become an
expert optician it is necessary to have
some knowledge of physiology, anat-
omy and chemistry.
Many of the various schools for in
%struction in optical science now adj
init women on equal terms with men.
Professors and teachers are coming
to regard women opticians with IA
vor, finding that in nearly every case
they are careful and conscientious.
And surely if ever a profession call
ed for conscientious handling it is
that which treats so delicate and SEN
sitive an organ as the eye.

RULE WORKS ONE WAY.
The Valuation Clause In Express
Shipping Provisions IL In Favor
a..4e.-- Of the COmpany.~

what is the valued" asked an ex-
press agent in a Broadwaysofice of a
keen-eyed, s~harp-nosed customer who
had handed him a package to be sent
to a western city. Theman addressed
did not answer at once, says the New
York Herald, but glanced at printed
card on the wall that read: always
state the value Of your shipment"
IF I state the value will your com
pany pay me that amount in case the
package is lost?" asked the man in
his turn.
Certainly not, unless that is proved
to be its value" answered the agent.
IF l state the value, can / prove q
greater value if it is lost?" Ga
"You will have to ask a lawyer that
question:" replied the agent.
"That isn't necessary, for I happen
to know the law" said the shipper.
"Your company is trying to establish
an unfair rule, because it works only
one way. You are right when you say
that my statement cannot bind you, for
in case of loss you can prove the value;
but my statement would bind me, for
the court would say I was 'estopped'
by my declaration as to the value.
IF a shipper should undervalue his
shipment, thinking that thereby he
would reduce the charges, he would
have to stand by his statement, and
your notice is calculated to make him
do that very thing. You can mark
my shipment NO value stated and
then if we meet in the courts it will be
on an equal footing"

A TOWNS RAPID m.
Population Jumped from 0 Il 40
0 as q Result of Visit from
President Hayes and Party.

-#HHgaL& E<HglA IH EHULt- ~
Mr.. George Clements, of Kansas
City, a well-knowh knight Of the
samplescase, is responsible for the
following story, says the Baltimore
News: N
Talk about the rapid growth Of
cities, why, Neosho Falls, Kan, holds
the record. I think the town is still
on the map, but won't be sure. AT
any rate, I remember when the popu
latioh jumped in one day from 600 to
10000, and the next day jumped back
again. This was merely occasioned
by a fair, and not a country fair at
that, but simply a little crossroads
celebration. It was just after Presi-
dent Hayes had been elected. He was
touring the west at the time, and the
citizens of Neosho Falls. secured q
promise from him to attend their
fair. The town was fortunately on
the line Of a railroad, with a service
of two trains a day, but when the
company learned Of the presidents
proposed visit a gang of workmen at
once started to lay sidings. At least
a dozen were constructed around the
little frame station, together with a
Y for the convenience, of the engines.
When the great day arrived the pres
ident was at hand, with several mem
bers of his cabinet and a military es-
cort from Fort Riley. The railroad
company estimated that 10000 people
visited Neosho Falls that day, and I
dare say some of them are talking
about it yet. The next day the Wis
itors were all gone, for there were no
hotel accommodations, and nothing
to feed them with. The gang of work.
men came back and ore up the sid
ings and the Y, and the town again
resumed its normal placidity, just as
though nothing had happened"

Many newspapers Of the state
are giving Senator Hansbrough
their support. The Minot Optic,
which has a fit every timeit sees
a favorable mention Of the senator,
says these papers are "either in
the employ of the federal govern
ment, or expectto beso employed"
While McClure's statement is in
no sense true, suppose that it was:
Is it not a fact that the opposition
to the senator emenates from men
or newspapers who are not Sin the
employ Of the federal government
but expect to be 50 employed"
Now, be honest.

The PRESIDENT. salary.

Blythe act of congress of September
"a, 1898, and again on February IS,
1898, the salary Of the president of
the United States was fixed at $4,000
and hat of the vice president at $4,000.
That of the president continued the
same until March 8, 1873, when it was
raised to $4,000. at which time U. S.
Grant was president. The salary Of
the vice president was raised to So
900 in 1853. to $4,000 March 8, 1873,
and January 20. 1874. it was again
reduced to $4,000. The constitution
of the United States says: 'The
president shall. at stated times, re-
ceive for services a compensation
which shall neither be increased nor
diminished during the period for
which he shall be elected"

A LESSON TO VIOLATORS OF
THE LAW.

The conviction and sentence of
N. A. Way, charged with violating
the prohibitory law, should be a
lesson to "blind piggers." Judge
Pollock imposed a sentence that
will not encourage people to Ignore
the law, or treat it lightly. 1t is
just as well. Whiskey is adver-
tised too much in the trial of
"blind pig" cases. Every time
there is a row over whiskey,
whiskey prospers, and causes
thousands Of people to drink it
who would otherwise leave the
stuff alone.

Lxnchers, Rope Ki11ed Trees.

A writer for the Wellington Mail
describes the lynching of three horse
thieves in the early days of Sumner
county and declares that the rec on
which they were hung Immediately
withered and died. Traditions of this
sort were familiar in a number of
western Kansas communities, says
the Kansas City Journal. Near Hays
City on the bank of what was known
as dead Mans Gulch' was a fine
cottonwood. To this tree a couple Of
men were hung one night, and with
the coming of another spring the tree
stood stark and dead. Superstitious
people used to point it out to strang-
ers and for a long time it was one of
the towns proudest points of inter-
est. But little by little poor people
carried it away for firewood, and for
20 years it has been only a memory.
