London Exhibit Shows How They
Were Held Together by Gold
Other Relics.

In the light thrown upon the ancient
practice Of medicine and surgery by
the British Museum Of Historical
Medicine, Marylebone, is ray cast
upon the Queen Of Shebas teeth.
which have been loaned by the Royal
College of Surgeons. These teeth
have hitherto seemed to be naught
but q solid black mass Of bone and
gold. They are now known to be
something else, according to the ex-
hibits made in the department OF pre-
historic dentistry.
Relics contained there prove that
gold was freely used to improve awk-
ward teeth. but there is no trace OF
stopping for q decayed spot. The pro-
cedure seems to have been to lash the
teeth together with a silk-like gold
wire and to wind 1t around and around
all the teeth until their binding was
SO strong that none Of them could fall
out without the consent Of the others.
This accounts for the fact that the
Queen OF Sheba's teeth appear like
one solid mass.
Among other exhibits are apothe-
carries shops of the Middle Ages and
alchemists' laboratories Of the Dark
Ages, the latter fitted up with elem
bics, retorts. and dim red lights. There
is also an eighteenth century barber
shop, showing how men were bled in
those days and how the BARRIERS pole
came into use. There is, teo, An ex-

CURE HAMS AT HOME

ration for Best Resuits-"Sugar-
Cure" More Expensive, But
Better Than Salt Process.
By MRS w. C. HUTCHINSON.)

(By MRS. w. C. HUTCHINSON)
There is no other product OF the
farm to which the owner points with
greater pride than to his abundance
Of well cured hams, one of the daily
essentials for the table, and II the
ham is we'll cured and we'll cooked,
We certainly have one of the most
appetizing dishes which can be set
before us.
This edible need not be limited to
the farmer alone; those of the city
may enjoy, equally with him, by pur-
chasing the slaughtered hogs. or hams
OF the butchers, then, using a good
method of sugar curing.
1t is economy to those in the city,
and a profit to the farmer should he
place his home-cured hams on the
market; there is always a ready sale.
and they bring a much better price
than the packers meat or the ordi-
nary salt ham.
Should we decide to market our own
homemade" "sugar-cured" hams.
there would be a very great demand
for them. Each year we are compelled
to refuse a number of would-be pur-
chasers.
To all interested in the sugar-cured
method of preparing it. we give the
following recipe:
For 1000 pounds Of meat, take
40 pounds Of common salt, ten pounds
of Orleans sugar. four pounds black
pepper, three pounds saltpeter, half
pound cayenne pepper. Mix thorough
ly, then rub one-half of the mixture
on the meat, let it lie two weeks, and
then rub on the remainder, after which
let it lie four weeks. then hang and
smoke.
AS soon as the animal heat is out of
the meat, apply first half, carefully
covering skin and flesh side alike, and
well over hook bone.
The extra expense over sailed meat
is small and think about equal to 9TH
er methods of curing; the amount of Ia
Dor required for first application is
very little more than ordinary sailing,
and for second, requires one man
about one hour If you wish to cure
smaller quantities, time and labor will
be in proportion.
Do not think the quantity Of the
preparation too small when mixed, for
although it may look SO, yet it is an
abundance.
AS this is put on the meat, each
ham is placed separately upon plat
form, there to await the second appli-
cation, when it is again placed for the
four weeks, after which we hang and
smoke for four days from wood fire,
not being partial to hickory wood.
By this time the meat is firm and
dry, and it is wrapped in newspapers,
then placed in sacks made of denim,
or other strong material and hung in
cool dark place.
We have used this recipe for Is
years, have never had a ham spoil
and have never tasted better hams.

or Its wrappings was left behind.
Hours, perhaps days, of work had been
spent on thus ransacking the grave.
Yet all the time, close by the plumber
ers' side, was a recess in the tomb
which they disregarded There, so close
by that tall man might have touched
the crown with one hand, the sar-
cophagus with the other, the treasure
lay quite undisturbed and unnoticed
After the tomb was opened it stood a
yawning pit. gradually filed up by oc-
casional storms once In few years
washing down mud. Slowly the cas-
kets rotted, the vases fell over, the
thread decaVed. the beads rolled apart.
and In perhaps fifty or a hundred
years the whole pit was filed with
mud and dust, and lost to sight. How
such q treasure can possibly have es-
capped the notice of men who were
zealously searching for 1t is one Of
the mysteries Of the inexplicable past.
In the midst of the rece: lay the
crown: the tall plumes Of gold and the
three double streamers of gold all lay
down fat, with the crown between
tAem. They had evidently been care
fully deposited and never disturbed.
The crown IL a broad band of bril-
liantly FURNISHED gold, with Is beauti-
full inlaid rosettes Of gold around 1t.
and in front of 1t the royal cobra OF
gold inlaid, the head Of lazuli. This
head was missing when the crown
first appeared: some days afterwards.
In flashing the earth from the re-
cess the head was found. Then one
eye was missing. washed and

bead OF gold which differed from
thousands of others; looking, l found
1t again. and there was the setting OF
the eye complete. Above the crown
at the back Of 1t stood up double
plumes of gold, fitting into a golden
flower. At the sides and back hung
down broad ties Of gold. The whole
crown is too large for a modern head,
being made to 60 over the very full
Egyptian wig; 1t is altogether over
eighteen inches high.

The funeral outfit OF the sacred

Besides this great group OF 5ewelry'
there were many curious things found
IN the wide excavation around the
pyramid Here We may see two
groups of ducks, the ore lying dead
on an altar with the eyes closed. the
other being carried and all alert.
These show how minutely the sculp-
lures of the temple were wrought.
The first lamps that can be proved to
be such by their wicks, were found
in the pyramid; they are OF lime

in the central cup. to hold up the
wick. Around the cup is a trough to
hold water, in order to keep the stone
damp so that the oil should not soak
away. OF the workmen's tools, ere
were many mason's mallets, wooden
rollers for moving the stones. and q
wooden hoe. A large quantity Of anne
thyst and carnelian beads, gold anu
lets, and other offerings, we're found
in a cemetery in the same district.

OF LINCOLN
LAID UP FOR REPAIRS
Blank Space on Capitol Wall Where
Emancipation Proclama-

The discovery that 1.-THE Emancipation
Proclamation needs backing has been
made at the Capitol; also that it needs
touching up In spots. for 1t is getting
to be threadbare and worn. 1t needs
little varnish. and in general II it is
not, attended to soop it will resemble
so much junk.
If it were not a picture that is being
thus described patriotic Americans

guides at the Capitol are today pointing
out a huge bare spot over the grand
staircase. House of Representatives side.
where Frank Carpenters historic paint
ing of President Lincoln reading the
emancipation proclamation has hung
since 1878.
The famous picture containing por-
traits not only of Lincoln, but of all the
members of his cabinet as they stood IN
the cabinet room September ~. 1867,
needs a new canvas back. and spots have
recently appeared, giving a bad lighting
effect.

taken carefully from its massive gold
frame and today reposes in the drafting

The picture was purchased from the

and presented it to Congress February
49, 1873. The ceremony of presentation
was impressive. taking place in the House

Voted Privilege Of Floor.
For her generosity Mrs. Thompson was
granted the privilege of the floor of the
House and Senate. she being the second
woman to whom this unusual favor has
been shown. The other woman was Dolly
Madison. and oddly enough. she was
granted the privilege through her con-
nection with picture. Her patriotism
and energy saved to the country the Gill
bert Stuart portrait of George Washing
ton which hung on the walls Of the White
House, and which would have been burn
ed in 1914 if Dolly Madison had not
saved it.
The Carpenter picture of Lincoln and
his cabinet was painted in the White
House, and Lincoln said of it: 1T is as
good as can be-" Carpenter worked in
cessantly in the White House for six
months, studying shades Of expression
on the faces of Lincoln and his cabinet
members President Lincoln himself d.
rected the placing Of cabinet room furni-

the picture gives an almost Photographic
reproduction OF the scene as it actually
