CURRENT NOTES. Inventive genius and mechanical skill lave LI the last few years so developed the Muction of bicycles that many experts see but little room for further improvement. The task of bettering the wheel of 1896 in order to greet cus~ tomers of 1897 with one still more de- sirable is not easy. The most notable change in the '97 models, already prom- ised by two big makers, has to do with the gearing. About ten years ago. when safety machines were first seen in this country, some of them were equippod with bevelled gear. in the place of chain and Sprocket wheels. Mechanimily the experiment was fair- ly successful, but the result was not wholly satisfactory to wheelmen. The several pounds of weight which a cog gear added to a. bicycle were not reckâ€" med in those days of wheels weighing fifty or sixty pounds. But if from any muse the gearing broke or became loose, so that the cage wouldn’t mesh, the ride became a. walk; and trundling a. wheel of more than half a hundred weight was no fun. Then, as weight began to told and to be avoided in wheeling over poor roads and hills. the lightening of the machine became a leading aim on the maken's part. So the shaft and cogs were replaced by the gear in use now. Since then the wheelmsn have heard little about bevelâ€"gear bicycles until this fall. According to the statements of numerous manufacturers familiar with their industry, a bevel gear is im- practicable an a. machine so light as a modern bicycle. They say that a bevel gear on the present wheel might work when operated slowly on a smooth surface, but. when heavy pressure is put: upon the pedals some part of the gear. or frame willl be Likely to give way._ No modern bicycle, say many mechan- too, is strong enough to withstand the wrenching and straining caused by the use of a bevel straining caused by the the chaimless wheel's lesser possibilities for speed militate against it. Despite these discouraging reports, the chain- lem bicycle is awaited with universal interest. The first pneumatic tire in the market was far from perfect, and so. by the way, was the first driving I Wheelmen are not slow to give L fair trial to new wheels, and the wo- men riders would be delighted to dis- card a. dirty, greasy chain for a sub- stitute that wouldn‘t rust or stretch. or interfere with their skirts. Besides, who knows precisely what brand new device may' surprise the wheeling fra- ternity with the appearance of the fully guaranteed chainiess bicycle for 1897, sold for the rational and up-to-date price of fifty dollars? ' VISITS HER BIRTHP’LACE. fix-Empress Eugenie, of France, who is at present in Tagiers, Morocco, spent recently a few weeks in Southern Spain. During the last week in June she visit- ed Granada, where she was born in May, 1826, and where she had not been since 1850. Although nearly half a century has since elapsed, the elm-Empress knew very well all the streets and corners of the town, and related numerous 0c, currenoes which, took placenn Granada during the time Of her childhood. She easily found the house where she was born, which still stands in the Cello de racia, and bears the number 12; In 67 a. tablet was fastened to the front of the house stating that there the then Empress of France was born. It must have been an awful shock to the ven- rable old lady who once wielded such menee power to see that. tablet. Dur- ing her present. trip through Spam the Queen Re ent Christina invxted her to come to ndrid, offering her the hos- pitality of her palaces, but .the ex-Em- press graciously declmed this offer and made tulle a. detour m order not to touch sdrid. PADERE\VSKI'S SORRO\V. A domestic grief has saddened the life of Padercwski, the famous pianist. " You must be a happy man. who can give so much pleasure to so many peo- ple,” said a gentleman who met him recently at supper in a private house. " Yes." Padenewski replied ;. " yes, I Am happy in doing that. but it is the only happiness I have." Then. after a short pause. he added: ") ou_perhaps are not aware that my wife died some son 0, and that my only child is an hicurabe cri le.

Long before anyone thought of sell- mg the candy that increases your up- petite rather than satisfies it. a. little southern girl thought out the recipe for herself. She was very fond of pop- corn. also of molasses candy. and it oc- curred to her that it would not be a bad plan to mix them. There was an old hunting dog in the family, who had the. same tastes, and when his mistress went into the kitchen to make her fav- orite delicacy, he went. too, and sat near the stove, with his great eyes fixed wistfully upon her and his mouth fairâ€" ly dropping water as he smelled the good rich smell. He always got a gen- erous share of the candy as soon as it was done. This is the way that little girl made it then, and the way she makes itinow for her own children, who like it as well as she. did. The corn she always preferred, if she could get it, was the squirrel-tooth corn, and, if possrble, that which was a. year old. . She shelled and popped the corn, sometimes in a popper, but often in a, tin pan With a pie«plate for cover. bands to the extreme of misery. "Any observant bachelor could recall the number of instances of nvomen, who, from mere want of tact and intelligâ€" ence are almost driving their husbands mad by getting on their nerves.

They forget that however wor- rying the little affairs of a household may be, the anxieties of a great busi- ness upon which the whole family’s pre- sent and future depends are for great- er.

For the benefit of women with small sums of money to invest. Mrs. Hetty Green. who is the richest woman in America, recently made the following statement: "I would advise any woman with $500 at her command to invest in real es- tate. She should buy the real estate at. auction on occasions when circum- stances have forced the sale. If she will watch for such an opportunity, it will surely come, and she will find that she. can buy a parcel of land at one- lhird its appraised value. “I regard real estate investment as the safest means of investing idle money. It does not always bring al steady interest, but it is less likely toE depreciate in value than stocks. which are always somewhat uncertain. A woman with tact and ability will be on the alert of a mortgage about to he. foreclosed. In such cases she shouldi negotiate with the owner of the pro-' petty and give him enough to clear his of molasses, a piece of butter the Size of a walnut, and a saltspoonful of salt In it, and cooked _the mixture until, on dropping a little into a cup of cold wa- ter it would candy. Then she set it; on the back of the stove, where it would not cook any more. and stirred into it ustas much of the popped corn as she possrbly could. The more com the better the candy. Then she would take up! the pieces of corn on the top of the skillet, which had the least candy on th‘em,_and pat them into cakes, or roll them into balls. Next, she would stir in more popcorn, and repeat the pro- cess. and so on, until she had used up all the candy. She would set the cakes in a buttered dishaway to cool, and afterward. she and the dog would have a feast. ' PICKLES, SAUCES AND VINEGARS.

There are so many little essentialsl about the curing of meals that we of- fen hesitate about giving any recipe un- less it has been tried and found relia- ble. \‘l’e cannot say this for the fol- lowing, tsken from a. foreign exchange, but we give it for what it is worth: With reference to cutting up and sell-‘ ing great care must. be taken in cutting the hams. as shapely hams always com- mand a better price than those badly cut. The quantities of various condi- ments to the 100 pounds of meat are as follows: Two ounces of snltpetre well powdered, three pounds salt, two pounds black or dark brown sugar; one pound allspice. one ounce carbonate soda; mix well together. Rub the. meat first with one pound of honey to the 100 pounds. Then rub with the mixture. 115- ing about two-thirds of the preparation Then place it in a. tub or vat with the fleshy side up. The vat or tub should be placed in a cool place, with plenty of fresh air. In twenty-four hours turn and rub again, adding a little unore of the unused mixture. after which turn and rub once every forty-eight hours for six times, using some of the mixture each time. It should be packi- ed closely in the vat, so as to raise the brine as high as possible...Alwa.ys keep the hands and hams at the bot- tom of the vat. After remaining in pickle for twentyâ€"one days, take. out and scrub with a scrubbing brush, us- ing hot water. After thoroughly clean- ing. soak in cold water for ten hours; then hang up in a dry place (not in the cellar) where there is a 'goo-d draught. If flies are troublesome it. ls advisable to stop up any cracks or crevices with lard, then dust the hams over with a little pollard, which wxll stick to the oily substance and form an artificial skin. After hanging from fourteen to sixteen days ihey should be ready for the smoke-house. The wall of the house should be twelve feet high. The smoke should he conducted to the bacon as cool as possxblc. My smokeéhouse is thirteen feet high and ten feet square. I hang the bums and bacon close to the top, in rows about 51x inches apart. It. usually takes about ten days to smoke properly, mak- omg a smoke every other day. After leavmg l‘he smoke-house it. is well to go over the bums and hands with lard endpollard, and stop up anyplace that is likely to be attacked wuh flies. It Is a good plan to place the bums and hands in muslin bags, taking care to tie them tightly at the top. Hang them in a. warm place. I hang my bacon in a kitchen. 1 have . strips of 3x3 timber fixed to the ceiling will) hooks screwed into them, and suspend the bacon there lumil the weather gets warm; then pack it. away in bran and sawdust, which must be dry. It should be taken out every six weeks and ex- amlned. and‘if found to be getting nul- dewed 01' to be sweating, it should be rubbed dry With a cloth; then add a little chaff to the sawdust ordiran. If you use bran be sure that it IS free of mite. If possflile, keep the bums and bacon in an even temperature. Too much heat will cause the fan to melt and turn rusty, and if too damp it: Will sweat and decay. By curing and treat- ing your bacon by this process you Will have an article that Will always comâ€" mand a good price, and Will keep for many years.

The farm should and could be so cul- tivated. managed and improved. and so pleasant for the sums and daughters that they would be loath to leave it to follow other pursuils. There is no life which may be more happily spent than that passed in an intelligent farming community; none reflects more brightly the industry and intelligence of the operator. In order that this may be done an established and contenlml disposition should be cultivated. The same amount of energy expended upon the management of our farms and homes that is spent in changing loca- tions and other unprofitable pursuits. the energy. thrift, economy in the right direction and liberality in feeding the mind would make our farms lilo-sum like the rose and be "things of Mainly and joys forever.“' Make improve- ments wnh a new to pennants-"y. l (.30 " m Mauser rifles of the Belgian pattern which were introduced in “3‘00.
