KEEPING MEAT IN HoT WEATHER.-Great
is the convenience of good refrigerator
But many of us, who live in the country,
have to get along without such convenience.
Farmers families, who often depend upon
the butchers meat-cart for supplies of fresh
meat, are annoyed by the bother and the
waste that comes of getting more beef or
mutton on hand than they can conveniently
use up before it becomes tainted. The
most foolish waste, is to eat more of it than
you need, with the idea of "saving it )"
the doctors bill that may result from over
loading the digestive organs is not SO good
q show of economy, as the fresh eggs you
might coax from the hens by feeding them
any excess of meat. The meat should first
be wiped clean and dry. Some sprinkle it
we'll in all parts with salt. Others use
black pepper plentifully (washing and wip-
ing it we'll before using it to remove the
pepper or salt), and then hang it in the
coolest place possible-some in the well,
others in a cellar. Perhaps the best pre-
caution is to wrap it in dry cloth, and
cover it with charcoal,dust. Some say that
wood ashes will answer about as well as
charcoal, but 1 only know the virtues OF
charcoal by experience. [ have found that
charcoal will even remove a Sigh degree OF
taint. am told that mutton is improved,
as well as preserved, for short time, by
wrapping it in a cloth wet with vinegar,
and laying it on the bottom of a dry cellar
All kinds of meat, including fish and fowl
may be preserved in brine for longer Oh
shorter time.-An,erica,, Agricult.srist.

MAKE THE HORSES WoRK.-Horses were
designed as beasts of burden, to relieve man
from fatiguing drudgery. 1t does not hurt
them to work hard, if they are treated
kindly. 1t is not the hard drawing and
ponderous loads that wear out horses and
make them poor, balkey and worthless
but it is the hard driving, the worry by
rough and inhuman drivers that use up
more horse-fesh, fat and muscle, than all
labor team performs. Consider the pom
derous loads that many teams are required
to cart every day, and they appear to grow
fatter and stronger every year. They are
treated kindly. On the other hand, other
horses, that do not perform half the labor
soon grow poor and give out, and the next
we hear of them is that they die with the
harness on. Hard work does not kill them
but the worrying, fretting and abuse die
the job.

CURE FOR CRoUP.-A medical journal says
Group can be cured in one minute, and the
remedy is simply alum and sugar. The
way to accomplish the deed is to take a
knife or crater and shave off in small par
cles about tea-spoonful Of alum, then mix
it with twice its quantity Of sugar, to make
it palatable, and administer as quickly as
possible. Almost instaneous relief will

An Atlanta (Georgia) paper says that
it is not generally known to what an ex-
tent the practice of dipping snuff is car
ricd in some sections Of our Fair South,
nor how matrons and young gills of in
telligence and high social standing are
slaves to habit that gradually under
mines their health, skaters their nerves,
and too often insidiously opens the door
TO the terrible opium habit. Snuff dip
ping is demoralizing in the first instance,
because in most cases it fosters conceal
ment and deceit. The habit is kept
secret from parents and friends. We
know daughters whose snuff boxes are
concealed in their rooms, where they
use it constantly without the knowledge
of their parents. We have seen at boaro-
schools girls 60 into Mysteries when de-
prived of their snuff, and borrow tobacco

ment for derangment of the nervous
system, and digestive organs, arising
from the constant use of snuff. Their
physicians have assure them that it was
the cause of the disease thus bli ghting
their young lives, and that medicine
must be in vain as long as the practice
was continued; and still they cling to
their snuff-bottles as persistantly as the
topper to his demijohn. And this when
they know that the vile poison nourishes
the worm disease at the root Of life,
silently, slowly, but surely destroying it
ere its prime; for aside from the filth
ness OF this habit, the constant drain OF

After old DR.. B. Ruptcy had told the two
not cure them, that the disease in both cases
had become the largest part of each dog,
they seemed to feel bad ,euntil he told them
also that he could fix it SO that nobody could
take from them or make them pay for the
mutton which they had already stolen, and
that the old idea that a leopard could not
change his spots was all CANNON that if a
leopard had mind to he could change his
spots each day, and he advised the dogs to
get|new spots-so the dogs began to cheer
up; but they misteok the doctors meaning,
he meaning that the dogs should go to a
new spot of country, where they we're not
known, but they thought he meant to paint
new colors on their lousy dog skins-so
they got some Granger revenue hair, dye,
and came out new dogs, that never
had stolen any mutton, and nobody
could claim pay for lost mutton of them
since their treatment by old DR.. B. Ruptcy.
This shows that they we're enterprising dogs,
and it did not take them long to lay their
plans. They soon found where very re-
spectacle, kind hearted and wealthy gentle
man with a great family lived, and they
jumped over into his front door yard, ran
about familiarly, barking, dancing, and
making themselves very much at home, as if
they had always belonged there all for the
pursose of compelling honest people to
notice them and believe that the rich man
with the large family owned the dogs. They
pretended to take care of his sheep and every
thing on the premises so we'll for time
that the rich man began to think that they
really were valuable dogs. They pretended
to take such great interest in all of the af-
fairs of the estate that strangers began to
wonder whether the dogs owned the family
or the family owned the dogs. Sometimes
when they were only looking at and listen
ingfo the dogs, it seemed as if the dogs
really manufactured or created the family
and all their surroundings from nothing and
owned everything

The Empress Of Austria is now
graudmamma, and yet no one could with
justice give her more than thirty or thirty

WE have been very unwilling to
accept the idea that the Southern
Pacific Railway propose to aban.
don the Santa Monica wharf, but
we are gradually coming to the be-
lief that they are about to do 1t.
Mr.. Brown, the "boss" bridge
builder of the road, has been down
at Santa Monica for some time
past. He critically examined the
wharf himself, aud then summon
ed to his aid an employe OF the
company specially skilled in all
developments of the terredo and


analogous ocean worms. AS the


result OF their joint examination,


the wharf, we learn, has been pro-


nounced insecure. A smaller


worm than the terredo has, we
have been informed, been doing its
work on the piles several feet
above the ocean bed, aud at much
less depth than that at which the
ravages of the terredo are recorded.
To make the wharf fit for service
an expenditure of fully $4,000


would be needed, and this outlay


would be necessitated at least every


three years. The Southern Pacific


Railway Company, we learn. will
continue to run its trains regularly


to Santa Monica, though, when
the winter season sets in, the
trains may be reduced to one day.
The wharf will be abandoned un-
willingly, and the railway COM


pany will do all in its power to ad-
vertise Santa Monica far and wide
as seaside resort. We heard the
rumor of the abandonment Of the
wharf some time before any news
paper mention had been made of
the matter, aud we gave it no
newspaper mention because we
hoped that it would prove to be
unauthenticated. We are sorry to
say that we no longer entertain
that hope, and that, while the
opinions expressed in this brief


article are purely speculative, we


have every reason to believe that


they will coincide with the result
to be shortly announced.

ing conveyed to his destination by special
train. This the officials declined to do,thongh
they were willing to pass him to Ludlow on
the 3:15 train. The traveller thereupon posted
to Ludlow at cost of $13S7 and sued to
recover this amount. The company held
that it could not be made responsible where
there was no wilful misconduct; that due
diligence was exercised; that its time tables
notified every one that it would not be re-
sponsible for the due arrival or departure of

to be ascribed to wind and weather and the
pressure of holiday traffic. The Court de-

that with nearly two hundred instances in the South

BISHOP SECURES PoSTPoNEMENr UNDER PRE-
TExcE OF MAKING A STATEMENT CONCERNING
THE WIFE POISONING.


[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD


NORWICH, Conn.,, Nov. IL. 1873.
In the Superior Court to-day the trial Of Bishop and
Mrs. Cobb postponed until the first Tuesday in
January. This needs some explanation. Originally
they had been jointly indicted but some time ago the
State Attorney notified the counsel for the defence
that Bishop would be tried first. Last Friday. how
ever Bishop sent word to the State Attorney that he
WAS ready to 90 on the witness stand and tell the
whole story; consequently the order Of the trial
changed that Mrs. Cobb's trial would come first.
Defendant surprised by this change for
which he not prepared and at the opening Of the
hearing to-day moved for continuance until the
March term Of the Court. This was argued by coun-
sell state Attorney Waller opposing so long delay.
and finally the Court fixed the time above stated.
II is understood that Bishop will derive benefit
from his proposed evidence and that his trial will be
commenced Immediately after the finishing of Mrs.
Cobb'a case.
