Canned Whole Hams.

Among the methods of sending
cured hams into the market, that oi
canning the whole ham has been in
troduced by an innovating German
meat packer. This was several years
ago, and the new idea seems to have
taken firm root in that country.
The canning process, as applied to
whole hams, is comparative simple,
says Pure Products. After being salt
ed. smoked and otherwise cured in
the usual manner, the hams are
placed in a can of suitable size and
shape. It is then weighed and the
weight marked on the outside. The
space left in the can may be filed
either with clean water or the ham
may first be boiled and the broth, az
ter the removal of the fat, may be
placed with it in the can. The can
is then closed and the contents sterf-
lized.
The popularity Of canned whole
ham may be inferred from che num-
ber Of patents which have been issued
to various inventors, who have COW
cred every possible form OF can for
this purpose.

CHARACTER TOLD BY TONGUE
Many Ways by Which That Organ Re
veals the True Disposition Of
Its Owner.

Germany has taken up the pastime
of reading character and telling for
tunes by the tongue. A long tongue
is said to denote openness of charac-
ter; it suggests generosity and free
handedness. It's possessor makes
friends and enemies easily. but does
not save money.
When the tongue is long and thick
the openness degenerates into ten
dency to gossip and scandal. The fu-
ture of the owner is beset with trou.
bles OF his own making. 1t also in
dicatex fiightiness and INCONSISTENCY.
Short tongues indicate secretive-
ness and discrimination. Their owners
make good detectives and attorneys.
The owner may acquire some money
by economy and guile, but has not
iargeness of spirit to make a great
fortune. Very thin pointed tongues
are found in different people who do
not succeed in life.
Short and broad ones accompany
craft and falsehood, the person who
has such tongue is compelled by it
to deceive and betray, whatever eff
fort he may make to keep straight.
The vibrant, quivering tongue de-
notes the artistic temperament. Bril-
liant carmine hue is a sign of long
life, pale pink tongue denotes both
weakness OF character and delicacy of
constitution.
