HAM SMELLING HAS
BECOME A REAL ART
EXPERT IN PACKING HOUSE
MUST HAVE A KEEN OIL
FACTORY SENSE.

The proof OF the ham is in the
smell. so years OF experience have
taught wholesale meat packers. Thus
has come into existenc a calling little
known in the world outside the cat
tie and hog market, though highly
valued therein. No pork packer is
without his ham smeller, says the
New York Times.
This ham smeller is specialist.
Long years OF work in the packing
house have so attuned his nose that
no flaw can escape his detection. lie
can stand any amount OF smiling IN
one day and still have a nose Tor his
dinner at the end OF it. The packing
house may have hams stacked by the
thousand and cured in a lot. Then the
ham smeller gets busy, since each
must pass the test of his nostrlls. lie
picks one up after another. With a
Whit and a quick decision he passes
it on to the shipping pile or into the
discard for further curing; then he
takes up the next in order.
He may thus test from one to three
thousand in a day. In large houses.
where many thousands OF hams are
turned out each day, there may be a
corps OF ham smellers upon whom the
firm depends largely for UNFOLDING its
reputation.
The ham smeller is perhaps unique
in his line, but his calling is one OF a
family of related occupations. Closely
akin to him is the tea faster. Every
large tea warehouse has its laboratory.
with rows OF cups OF steaming tea,
Tea time lasts all day for the PROBES
sional faster. He is responsible for the
quality Of the blends his firm puts on
the market.
These men, as a rule, are highly
paid experts. infallible in their fine dis
tinction among teas. A quid OF tobac-
co is the constant companion OF the
tea faster. Tobacco, he points out, has
neutral taste; and So with a chew
between drinks, he can be sure that
none Of the first cups flavor will ling
err to interfere with the tasting OF the
scond cup.

Were Sure Enough
Giants in Those Days
Feats of Strength and One Hero's
Prowess in Eating.

Abraham Lincoln's feat OF lifting a
barrel OF cider to his knees and hold
ing it there while he drank from the
bunghole is the classic of such eXhi-
billions in pioneer days, but there have
been others who proved that the from
tier-bred man was OF giant strength.
Bat Masterson, the famous marshal OF
Dodge City, Kan, in his gun-hghting
days, was one OF them, says the Ma
tional Republican.
One day Masterson tried to pull a
drunken cowboy from. the saddle to
subdue him. The puncher closed
down on his pony with viselike grip
OF his knees. The athletic Mr.. Mas
terson gave mighty tug and down
came pony and rider in heap.
But for sheer brute strength take
the case of Joe Beaupre, French
Canadian who ranged the buffalo
plans of the Red river country in the
Dakotas and Saskatchewan in the old
days According to tradition Joe was
so strong that he never would fight
any man for fear OF killing him, and
there are plenty OF incidents which
show that his fears were justified
One day while he was driving a
horse hitched to sledge along mar
row trail the animal baked and Beau
pre- could not bulge him. Finally be-
coming enraged, the man struck the
perverse animal a blow behind the
car which stretched it on the ground
dead Then, loosening the harness,
Beaupre picked the dead horse up,
tossed it to one side OF the trail and
went on, pulling the sledge himself.

Odd Time Recorder
Familiar to Indians

A sort of primitive sundial was
sometimes set up by a Bellacoola In
dian traveller to record, for the bene-
dt of those following him, the time
which had elapsed since he had left.
This was used only where N fol-
lowed another, not as a true sundial
ito tell the time of day. The Carrier
Indians and the Chilcotin Indians
also used 1t.
This time recorder consisted Of a
twig made into a circular hoop about
six inches In diameter, by twisting the
ends together, and fastened firmly to
a slsnting stick stuck up in the
smooth earth. The Bellacoola, who SO
commonly travelled up and down the
Beilacoola river, frequently put n
Of these upon the sandy river beach.
The o or less circular shadow of
the hoop was marked In the soil, and
the distance that 1t had travelled from
the mark indicated how long the re-
corder had been standing.
II the n following was travelling
in a river and saw the shadow
was near the mark, his canoe party
might pole hard in an effort to catch
up, but II the shadow we're far away

origin. 1t had its origin in the East,
and was used quite commonly in the
ancient Empires of Ninevah, Persia
and Egypt. The "Satrap" Of Persia

umbrella and the word itself means
Umbrella fellow" The Eastern UNI

it was against the roasting rays of the
sun that 1t protected. Lord Of the

days OF Greece and Rome. only women
carried umbrellas in times of peace,
but In times of war they were served
out to Roman troops. to assist them
