lead in point Of long trains in the new
era OF coal ceve.opment in Virginia
and West Virginia. a special train
was run out of Page Hollow, in West

175 cars. 1t was pulled by three loco
motives, and was estimated TO be al

A week earlier, train Of $50 cars was

1t Is disagreeable to wash dishes.
Even mothers, who do most things
cheerfully, will sometimes pass the
dishes on to youthful and unwilling
hands. The schoolgirl invariably has
other things to do. and the dishes are
70 insistent. Even when stacked In
the sink they look reproachful. Left
in disorder on the table, they glare at
you every time you pass, and, hanging
over your head when you are playing
tennis or finishing a book, they loom
like thundercloud. II just dread to

grows greater every time you think OF
them.
But Is doing the dishes as bad as
dreading 1t? To scrape OF the leftover
food, to pile spoons with spoons and
plates with plates. to have a sparkling
lather Of soapsuds and hot water. to
tackle the dishes in the order Of their
cleaniless instead Of inversely or hap
hazard. to hang up the towels and see
clear sky spanning golden after
noon surely there are worse things
than that! Washing dishes. like many
other disagreeable jobs, requires no
concentration. The mind IL free to
dwell on pleasanter things.
The sense Of freedom and the feeling
of self righteousness that follow the
prompt washing Of the dishes are
enough to raise the humble task into

After the hogs have been killed and

Magazine in describing good recipe
for curing hams. About three or four
pounds Of saltpeter are used to 1000
pounds Of hams. Fine salt ia then
rubbed over the entire surface, and
the hams are packed in bulk not
deeper than three feet.
In ordinary weather they should re-
main thus for several days. at least
three Then break the bulk and re-
salt with fine salt and again pack.
Each ham should remain In bulk at
least one day for each pound Of
weight The hams are then hung up
and gradually smoked for thirty or
forty days with hickory or red oak
bark.
When the smoking Is complete they
should be repeppered and placed in
canvas bags to guard against vermin.
The hams cured as indicated improve
with age. and are considered about
