TO PRESERVE CURED MEATS,

Any farmer who has been annoyed
by flies which get at his cured meats
will do well TO make use of Borax. BY
following the directions given below he
will easily rid himself of all bother
from shippers or other insects.
Directions: When the meat is taken
from the salt preparatory to smoking.
thoroughly sprinkle all the cut sides
with BoraX. Rub the Borax into the
crevices After doing this a fly will
never touch it and you will have no
trouble with bugs or shippers, Meat
treated in this way need not be can.
vassed or sacked.
Messrs, Geo. w. Hill G Company, OF
Covington, Kentucky, have introduced
this method among hundreds of farm
ers in northern Kentucky with uni
| form success. They write us that they
have some three year old hams in
their warerooms that were treated as
above and that they are as bright and
nice to-day as when first cured.
When you wish to use your meats 1t
is only necessary to wash them Off.
The BoraX is perfectly harmless. This
was established in the pure food hear
ings before Senator VIM. L. Mason in
! 1899.
1t is quite essential that you get
pure BoraX. There are dangerous
authorizations on the market. To be
safe you must get 100 MULE TEAM
BORAX." If your dealer doesn't carry
1t send us his name and we will ar.

A Philadelphia physician says that

he made another visit and found the

For breakfast on winter mornings
we were likely to have pork chops

from kitchen half a mile away. but
big, thick. fat chops of home-fed pork
fresh-coked and sizzling.
And the cakes, Not half heavy

buckwheat cakes light and fluffy and
brown and generous In dimensions

And those chops and those buck

pork gravy on the cakes! A breakfast
fit for the very gods, though one must

Grateful am that can bring back

Fakirs of India.

The streets of the larger cities of
India are full of fakirs of all classes
and Of every description. Originally
the word "fakir" had a religious
meaning, but to-day it is mostly ap-
piled to the beggars, nondescripts
and mountebanks of India The sect
was founded on the phrase of Brah-
minism though saints" of similar
name and practice are now more com
mon among Mohammedans than
among Hindus. Their penances take
strange and horrible forms of express
sion-tying the hands and feet to-
gether and rolling head over heels
for long distances (some travelling
thus, it is said, for thousands of
miles); holding the hands about the
head until the limbs are withered,
walking on spikes, dragging about
heavy chains, or sitting in one posi-
ton until incapable of movement.

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.

Cure by Cuticura.

my baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. | had heard of so many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that
l thought | would give them trial.
The improvement was noticeable in a
few hours, and before | had used one
box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
were well and have never troubled her
since. l also used it to remove what
is known as cradle cap from her
head, and it worked like charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Mrs. Hattie C.lrrier,

The Manchester canal was built at
a cost of $75,O0O,OO0 to reduce freight
rates for distance of 35 miles, and,
while it did not prove a good inter-
est bearing investment on such a
large expenditure, its indirect and
more permanent benefits are said to
have warranted it.
Germany has 5000 miles of canal,
carefully maintained, besides 1000
miles of other waterway. France,
with an area less than we would con-
slider large state, has 5000 miles of
canal; and in the northern part,
where the canals are most numerous,
the railways are more prosperous.
England Germany, France, Holland
and Belgium are all contemplating
further extension and improvement of
their canal systems.-Century Maya.

Rare Pilgrim Fish Cauaht.

Another Breton fishing town-Con.
carneau-has had a novel experience
of its own. One of its trawl boats,
the Saint Louis, has just returned to
port, not with the heavy cargo of sar,
dimes that ali tine good folk so much
desired, but with catch OF an entirely
unwonted and unwelcome kind.
This took the form of a monster fish
measuring not less than 25 feet in
length. The fish is one of the pill
grim" kind, and is associated with the
shark family, though said to be less fe.
rocious than the ordinary shark As
TIE monster is very rarely seen, but
little that Is definite is known of him.
The incident has no parallel within liv.
ing Breton memory.-London Globe.

Architects and Closets.

An architect, says writer, COM
plains that women have a mania for
closets and that when a woman is al
lowed any liberty in the matter she
changes his whole architectural plan
in order to make room for them. This,
he says, makes him laughing stock
among his fellow architects. This is
very interesting, but why do architects
make plans if not to make every effort
themselves to secure conveniences? A
house may be INTELLECTUALLY perfect
and yet not fit to live in, and it certain
ly is not if there is not closet room
enough.

that the couple were seated in the
