Have ready have a pound of good salt pork which has been boiled until tender. Choose a piece which has a smooth skin and which is part fat and part lean. Cut the rind in halfin-ch strips, and stain crosswise, dividing it into squares. Mix together one teaSpoonful of salt, a scant teaspoonful of mustard and one-fourth of a cup of New Orleans molasses. Stir this mixture into sufficient hot water to cover the beans. Mix well and sink the pork in the centre of the bean pot, allowing only the rind to be exposed. Cook slowly for seven or eight hours in a moderate oven, replenishing the water as it boils away. There should be enough water to cover them till the last hour. After that let it cook away.~ remove the cover and let them brown. In case the pork is not very fat some at the liquor in which the pork was boiled may be added with the water to the beans. Some persons like also a slight flavor of onion, in which case a slice of onion may be dronped into the water in which the beans are boiled. \Vhen nearly done, test the beans, and if more salt is needed add it with the extra water. A teaspoonful will prove sufficient if the pork is well corned.

McKay, Clifford, N.S., Tells of His Daughter’s Cure. SHE WAS FIRST ATTACKED WITH ACUTE RHEUMATISM, FOLLOWED BY ST, VITUS' DANCE IN A SEVERE FORMâ€" HER PARENTS THOUGHT SHE COULD NOT RECOVER. From the Enterprise, Bridgewater, N55. Wm. McKay, Esq, a well-known and much-respected farmer and mill. man at Clifford, Lunenburg Co.. l’.S., relates the following wonderful cure effected in his family by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink File 2â€"“ About three years ago my little daughter Ella, then a child of ten years, was attacked with acute rheumatism. It was aterribly bad case ; for over a men th she was confined to her bed, and during most of the time was utterly helpless, being unable to turn in bed, or in fact to move at all without help. She could not even hold anything in her hand. All power or use of her limbs had entirely gone and the pain she suffered was fearful. By constant attention after a month or so- she began to gain a little strength, andl after a while improved enough to be taken out of bed and even walked around a bit after a fashion by means of a support. But now she was seized with a worse ail- ment than the rheumatism. Her nervous system gave way, appeared completely shattered.‘ She shook violently all the “time, and would tumble down in trying to walk. In attempting to drink from a cup her hand shook so as to spill the contents all over herself. She was a pitiable object. The doctors were called to her again and said she had St. Vitus‘ dance in the worst form. She took the medicine prescribed and followed the instructions of her physi~ cian for some time. but without apparent benefit. skeleton and we gave her up for lost. About this time. I read in a paper an account of a great cure of nervousness effected by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and resolved to try them. I bought six boxes and the littlc girl began using them. The good effects of the first box were quite apparent and when four boxes were used she seemed so much improved that the pills were discontinued. She kept on improving, and after a few weeks was as ,well as ever. We were told that the cure would not last, that it was only some pow- erful ingredient in the pills which wm deceiving us, and that after a time the child would be worse than ever. All this has proued false, for new nearly three yewshe has had unbroken good, health, no es as strong as they are made, and stands school work and household work as well as a mature person. doubt about Dr. Williams Pink Pills restoring it us our little girl, whom we looked upon as d oomed to an early grave.” Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a specific for diseases arising from an impoverished condition of the. blood or shattered nerves, such as St. Vitus‘dance, locomotor ataxia, rheumatism, pardlysis, sciatica, the after effects of is grippe, headache, dizziness. erysipelas, scrofula, etc. They are also a specific for the troubles peculiar to the female system, building anew the blood and restoring the glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks.

Bray, a pedlar on Somerset-ave, Toronto Junction, Sunday morning. The woman is abbot 65 years of age and has been demented for some time, frequently giv- ing expression to the wish that she was out of the way. Unnoticed by any of her relatives, she saturated her clothes with coal oil and then set fire to herself with a match. The flames immediately ran up her dress and she rushed into the street a living bonfire. Mrs. Charlton, who was standing at her gate on the street, was the first to notice her and she at once bethought herself of blankets and cloths. of her rash deed and rushed across the road to Mr. Phillips’ where she knocked at the door. eleven minutes, for the flames speedily did their work and she fell on her back shrieks of the woman brought out the neighbors, and it was not long before means for putting out the fire on hand.

As there was considerable water in the tank and three loads of dirt had been dumped in after the child was supposed to have fallen in, the steam fire engine was taken to the spot, the water pumped out, and a few minutes afterwards the little one was found a few inches under the dirt. The, bady was laid on the road and presented 1 a pitlabie sight, as it was almcst encased in mud. The corner, Dr. J. W. Holmes, who was present, decided that an inquest was necessary. The tank is an old one that was used for fire purposes before the town had waterworks. It was covered with long 10gs about a foot in diameter, some of which had been removed to allow the filling up, and it was through the opening thus made that the little one must have fallen. There were a great many people present when the body was found, and there was much comment about the opening into the well being left unguarded during the filling in process. Mm judge McIntyre and the Track- men To the Editor of the Watchman-Vlarder. SIR,â€"I was surprised when Iread Judge McIntyer’s address to the grand jury at the last sessions at Whitby. In his charge ' he recommended the county council to establish a House of Refuge so that the old people would receive needed care and at- tention, not merely, a miserable subsist- ence. What a contrast in that expression to his comment on the trackmeu's stsike! He hoped the grand jury would discoun- tenence their claim for reasonable wages, although he gets $3000 a year and no familyto support. He is so very charit‘ able as to say if the poor trackmen can't live on 98 cents per day, for God's sake let them throw up their job and others will take their places. Circumstances alters cases. Now, Mr. Editor, compare this We have "0 address with the one that was delivered by the Rev. J. W. Macmillan in St. Andrew's church, Lindsay, a short time ago. It was charitable, consistent and expressive of a Christian gentleman when he quoted a scriptural remark that “the laborer is worthy of his hire.” Judge McIntyre ought to know that trackmen were not all raised on porridge.. Thanks, Mr. Editor, for this insertion. Yours truly, TRACKMAN. Lindsay. July lst, 1899. -.â€"â€"... Making Sweat Soup Grease. In many farmhouses all the scraps of fat, cooked and uncooked, are thrown to- gether in a large tub or kettle, where, “posed to air, it quickly becomes exceed- iQB‘iY oflensive to the senses. One wonders how it can be that such stinking grease can be changed into good, cleansing soap. But it is said the explanation is that the ‘ momugh boiling which the grease - calves with the lye destroys all the 'offdiâ€" glvo germs.

This was one of the heaviest yielders of 1898. It is a main crop variety of good size and fine appearance; vines dark green. very regular and erect. making a very uni- form row. almost square top through- out, strong and vigorous. The crop was practically all salable. Yield, 369 bushâ€" els per acre. White Beauty (101) is described as a medium late variety of introduction. It belongs to the Burbank and White Star class. The vines were very strong and heavy, dark green, standing 2% feet high and 3 feet broad. The yield was at the rate of 397 bushels per acre and only about 6 per cent were small. Fillbasket, a white skinned main crop variety, oblong. somewhat flattened and usually smooth, proved a heavy yielder at the station, producing at the rate of 346 bushels per acre, a very small per cent of which were small.
