Good Counsel.

Little children always be
Kind to everything you see
Do not kick the IA ble's legs;
Don't beat unonending eggs
Do not mfschievoUsly try
To poke things in a needless eye.
Nor guilty be of such fault
AS to pinch the table salt
Do not pull a teapots nose;
Don't ask bread what time 1t rose
Little pitchers ears don't tweak
Nor smack the apples rosy cheek
But remember II IS right
To all things to be polite
Let the hay scales have their weigh,
Wish the calendar good day
Kiss the clock upon its face
Return the armchair's fond embrace.
Greet the sieve in merry strain
ASK the window how's its pane
II you learn to show such traits
To your dumb inani-mates,
Toward your playnates then you'u find
You've an arniable mind

ABOUT CURING MEAT
PROCESS A MYSTERY TO MOST
CITY HoUsEKEEPERS.
Good-Sized Piece of Meat May Be
Bought AdvantageousIy and
corned-Piekiin9 and Dry
ing Process Explained.

The method of keeping meats the
year around is well known to farmers
wives, but q mystery to most city
housekeepers. A %good-sized piece of
meat may be bought advantageously
and corned, after cutting off a portion
to be used in It's fresh state. The
rump is best to corn. Beef tongue.
fresh ham, veal or mutton are excel
lent when corned.
A pickle for corning meat in small
quantities is made as follows: Four
pounds of coarse salt, eight quarts
of water, two pounds of brown sugar,
one-half pound of saltpeter; stir until
salt and sugar are dissolved; then
boil and skim, letting the mixture
become cold before pouring over the
meat. Turn the meat in the pickle
every day for a week, which will give
1t a fine color and flavor. During
the summer this pickle may be boiled
over with an addition of one cup Of
salt and one cup of brown sugar to
n quart Of water, when 1t will keep
sweet for several weeks. A plate O
clean fiat stone must be used to keep
the meat beneath the pickle.
A large beef tongue will have to
be kept in the pickle fourteen days
before it 10 ready for use.
Dried Beef.-Select a round Of beef
and divide in two parts through the
middle. rejecting the. bone. For
twelve pounds of meat allow one-half
pound Of fine salt. one-quarter ounce
Of pulverized s%altreter. and one-half
pound of brown sugar. Rub this mix
ture into the meat every morning un-
It'll 1t is all used up. At the end OF
this time. hang up iu the smOkehouse
