about one square yard to stand upon.
Nay, more, if the very young and the
very old would please to stand aside on
the shores Of the lake the remainder of
the total inhabitants of the world
could arrange a skating party where
there would be less crowding than is
seen on busy winter day on that skat-
ing pond in New York's Central park.
Sketching the picture is like visualiz-
ing the great tragedy of the human
race-the few people of this earth do
not begin to realize their immense OPP
portunities and their unused resources;
meanwhile they have the insane feel
ing that the world is "overpopulated."
All our science, our religion, our art
have not given us common sense
enough to learn how to use them to
live comfortably and happily-we, this
mere handful of inhabitants on this
immense world of ours. Nor does it
look as II we were going to get to our
senses before many generations to
come as long as we keep on muddling
and laundering, as long as greed and
vanity, lust for power, the main inner
itance Of the aims and thoughts of the
past, together with some of our time
honored traditions, keep us in the cold,
relentless grip OF bygone ages.-From

fine salt and pack down in barrel
with the hams on the bottom. Let stand
over night. Then add for every 100
lbs, of meat, brine made by dissolving
10 lbs. of salt, IL ounces of saltpeter
in gallons water. The meat can re-
main in this brine until used or it can
be removed and smoked after from four
to six weeks
Sugar Cure.
Another formula that gives good
satisfaction is for 100 lbs. of pork, 8
lbs salt, 1-2 or. saltpeter, 2 lbs brown
sugar, to be dissolved in four gallons
hot water. Inns solution should be cool
ed and applied to meat that has been
rubbed with salt and drained for "a
hours. The bacon strips should remain
in solution from three to four weeks be-
fore smoking. The hams and shoulders
should stay in solution from six to
eight weeks. After curing the meat
should be smoked both to give added
flavor and to give additional keeping
qualities.
The meat before smoking should be
washed in warm water and then drained
and dried for few days. Apple limbs
or any hard wood may be used for smok-
ing. A smudge for an hour or two daily
from Is to 20 days will give good
smoke. The meat can then be buried in
grain bin or hung up in bags which
can be whitewashed or parafined. I'm
der these conditions the meat will keep
for an indefinite length of time.

A Help In Finding Your Bearings at
Night Without a Compass.
An English survivor of the South AT
rican war who was often sent on long
distance night "Reminiscences has
worked out a system whereby any one
can be right at home In the dark with
out compass or other instrument to aid
the sense of direction. He worked out
the exact movement and direction of
the largest and most easily distin-
guished lights in the heavens SO that
the least scientific eye can recognize
these signs by sight, and the whole
dome Of the heavens becomes a vast
compass.
If there were fire balloons or beacons
placed In the heavens north, east, south
and west it would be easy for any one
to 60 In these directions by simply fol-
lowing the signs. Similarly, II one
wished to go, say, hands breadth to
the right or left of the beacons one
could easily do so. The largest stars in
the heavens can be depended upon in
