An Aged Couples Love.

We recently spent a pleasant even
ing with an aged couple, and what
added to the pleaSantness was the TACT
that altho this couple was bask1ng III
the sunset of a we'll spent lite, they
were as devoted to each other as when
the honeymoon" first shone IN their
pathway. We could not but compl-
ment our friend upon his devotion to
his aged companion, and IN reply ne
said to us, "YOu mistake me II you
think age has blOtted out my heart.
The silver hair falls over a brow all
furrowed, yet | am a lover still. L
love all nature, and l love yOn aged
dame. Look at her. Her face is care
worn, but it has ever held smile tor
me. Often have | shared the same
bitter cup with her, and so shared, it
seems almost sweet. Years OF sick
ness have stolen the freshness Of lie,
but like the faded rose, the perfume OF
her love is richer than when IN the tuII
bloom Of youth and maturity. To-
gether we have Wept over graves.
Through sunshine and storm we have
clung together, and now she sits with
her knitting, her cap quantity tr1lIed.
the old style kerchief crossed white
and prim above the heart that beat so
long and true for me; the dim blue
eyes that shrinkingly front the g lad
day; the sunlight throwing a parting
farewell, kisses her brow and leaves
upon it faint tracing or wrinkles an
gelic radiance l see, though no one
else can, the bright, glad young face
that won me first, and the glowing
love OF forty years thrills through
my heart till tears come. Though
this form be bowed, God imparts
eternal life within. Let the ear be
deaf, the eye be blind, the hands pal
sled, the limbs withered, the brain
clouded, yet the heart-the true heart
may hold such wealth Of love that all
flowers Of death and the victorious
grave shall not be able to put out
his quenchleSS flame"
AS we meandered home we could
but think what a heaven upon this
earth this would be if such devotion
existed between all who had taken the
marriage vow. TO such a couple the
mellow rays of Hfe's sunset are the
most beautiful Of any on the long
journey from the cradle to the grave

the names Of shrubs, plants, flowers
and the different kinds Of trees which
grow in the forests or by the road

and, above all, teach them always to
treat them kindly.

"This is Our library" said the New

the front room. "And that cozy little
room back Of it is the music room.

South Carolina Hams.

Use four quarts of salt, four pounds
of brown sugar, three ounces salt
peter to each 100 pounds Of meat. Mix
thoroughly before using.
When meat has cooled rub in two
thirds of the mixture and pack the
meat in a barrel. Next day rub in
the rest of the mixture and put back
in barrel, putting in the bottom the
pieces that were on top the first time,
in that order. Once a week for three
weeks reverse the order in which the
meat is packed. At the end of the
second week pour off the brine and
boil and skim until clear. When cold
put back on the meat. At the end
of three weeks wash the meat in hot
water, wipe dry, smoke three weeks,
bag, and hang in dry cool place.
We presume the time the meat re-
mains in pickle and smoke might vary
with different sized pieces of ham,
smaller requiring less time.-Success-

Simple Helps.

Hot water used both internally and
externally is highly recommended by
medical men as a cure for insomnia
Bathing the feet in hot water is par
ticularly eflcacious.
For a simple cough cure roast a
mediums sized lemon. When hot
through cut, and press the juice upon
three ounces Of pulverized sugar. Take
a spoonful whenever the cough is
troublesome.
To make honey ointment take equal
parts of honey and white flour and
stir together with a little soft water,
just enough to make a thick paste,
solid, not liquid This is one of the
good old-fashioned remedies for sores
and boils.
If one awakens with cold feet at
night straighten out flat on the back,
and even if the bottom of the bed is
cold it will be only a short time before
the feet will become warm. If a
blanket is folded and placed on the
mattress before the bottom sheet is
put on, then folded back over the top
sheets, it will form a pocket so one
can't kick the covers loose at the foot
of the bed This is especially useful
in a child's bed If one will battle the
feet in cold water before retiring, rub
bing them briskly, it will prevent cold
feet at night 1t will also warm the
feet quickly, as it restores the circula-
tion.-COleman's Rural World.

Olive Oil Beauties.

Ot course we have often heard that
pure olive oil is a wonderfully rapid
producer Of flesh, even in the cases
of the very thinneSt persons, but may
be most of us have never learned what
a beautltier Of the complexion this
same sweet oil is, says the Chicago
pure olive oil, taken in gradually in
creas1ng doses, beginning with table,
spoonful three times day, will have
an almost instantaneous effect upon
the skin OF the face, cleaning the COM
pleXlOn, Frightening the eyes and fill
ing out the cheeks. At trst the oil
may not seem very palatable, but after
a while it becomes less and less dis
tasteful, and then there is, as a min-
imizer Of the bad taste, the marvellous
gain in facial good looks and bodily
Heshiness; besides, if a pinch of salt
be taken just as soon as the oil has
been swallowed, most of the disagreea-
bic after-etfect is counteracted.
By a rather curious process, known
as "spattlng," olive oil is also effect
lively applied to the face and neck
and arms, where decidedly comforting
Improvement Will quickly De noted
The palm of one hand is filled with
oil, then the two hands are rubbed
together and the "Spatting" begins
The hands are held open and the
palms gently clapped upon the skin
of the face or the arms, perchance,
producing a verltable spatting sound
This treatment should not be indulged
in too vigorously, for it is, at best,
rather heroic, but it wakes up the
circulation surprisingly and greatly
ing it finer and hrmer and sending

Celebrated Kentucky Hams.

The celebrated "Ashland Hams, ="
made on the old Henry Clay planta
tion, were cured as follows For
every ten hams of moderate size they
used three and a half pounds salt,
one pound saltpeter, and two pounds
brown sugar, we'll mixed together
This was thoroughly rubbed on the
hams, which were then placed in a
barrel and left for three weeks in a
cool place. Then the hams were taken
out, put in brine strong enough to
float an egg. After being in this
pickle three weeks, they were taken
out, rubbed lightly with fine salt and
hung in a we'll ventilated place to
dry for two or three days, then smok-
ed in hickory or walnut smoke until

they will kill the bugs. This ought to be
