An Horodltary Oarse- TIlk'VrttANOK STOIir OF THE FAMU.T llOOMKl) TO KLKF.U TO DEATH, Thoro Is & certain family In Boston which suffors from a mysterious hered "litary enrse, of tho sort ono rends abbot 5u bulr-olemlng Btories of tho supernatural, Tho first- son horn to ovi-ry daughter bleeds to doatb. Tho story of tho manner in which tho affliction originated can not, of cotirso, bo vouched for. It, has to do with a wiclced groat-groat-grandraoth' or, who murdered a rich unolo by opeulng one of his voins with a pon iard In order to get possession of tho old gentleman's vast wealth. Tho ghost of tho deceased subsequently appeared to tho unscrupulous nidvo and announced In hollow tonep, op propriato to tho tomb, tho dismal pre diction that for all time henceforth tho oldest mato ohlld of every girl in her family should dio by bleeding. So much for tho explanatory tradi von. Tho fact is that for many gener ations tho Crockett family of Uuarlcs town which is a part of Boston acd vicinity has been pursued by a hemorrhagic Nemesis. Tho first son born to every daughter, even io re mote cousins, invariably bleed to death. All ether members of tho CrooketUtribo aro exempt from tho mysterious trouble. But tho method of this inherited ourso is bo well known that each female Crockett is prepared on tho arrival of her initial boy for tho experience that is bound to onsno. Tim first littlo out or oven scratch tho lufant experiences is tSo signal for a panic. Bandages are ap plied as quicklv M nosaiblo and tho wound Is treated with a preparation of iron ia tho form of a powder. It is a narrow squoak in such cases always, but thero is a good chanco of recovery wuuin oigui uays it tno thing is taken in time. At the end of that time tho patient either dies or gets well or dies from loss 0t blood very suddenly. J) or such is the manner of the bleed. r'a complaint.

On occasions of the sort he must adopt immediate uiuunuros remedial or die. tsy exer cising the most extraordinary precau wous no may rcaoh a comfortable age, but Sooner or later he must perish oy an Untoward accident, causing a flow of bjood which no physician's art can So far, not a single ono of the des tined victims has oscaped the penalty, The oldest one now living is a Mr Surratt, of Melrose, who has been ao customed, when he wanted a tooth nulled, to revise his will, visits his ro latives and bids them all good-bye, as though it was likely to the forever. Lifo is an extra hazardous risk when you aro a bleeder. Thns it happens that oldest sons of the Crocket family, direct and collateral, on tho maternal Bide, are found to bo engaged io grave digging and other harmless avoca Hons, which aro not likely to occasion incidental hurts.

Last season we packed onr surplus butter on the tallowing plan, and found when sold in December, when the bntter was unpacked for sale, came out just as fresh' and well tasted as it was: when packed. Wo adopted the followins method: Bought new pork barrels, Bcalded them out thoroughly with boiling water three different' times, the last time covered tbo barrel with a cloih to keep in the steam. Let them stand until the water cools, then rinse out the barrel with cold water, and tho barrel is ready for use. Wo made strong brino by boiling, that would float an egg, Bkimmed off any fckum that was on top, and let stand over night. In the morning the brine would bo as clear as crystal. Butter was salted in tho usual way, one ounce to the pound. Made into five to six-pound rolls, wrapped carefully tip in cheese cloth and tied with cotton wrapping twine to keep the cloth in place. The rolls were then packed into the barrels and covered with tho brioo and kept covered. Tho air ip not allowed to come in contact with it again until unpacked. And my opin ion is, right here is where tho secret lays in keeping the air excluded no foul odors can get to it. Some might' think tho butter would get too salty in such strong brine. Not one bit. of danger, if the butter .has bet-n propoi ly handled before going in the barrel. Wo make our butter on the granular plan and press it solidly together. As I informed yon in my letter last sea eon, we packed several barrels in this way, and it was in the brino four or five months, and not a fault found with a pound of it. I have no doubt that butter packed in this way cau be shipped to any market in the United States or Europe, if ordinary caro is taken not to let it lay outside exposed to the hot sun. Butter can be packed In this way in firkins or in any vessel that will hold tho brine. Geo. Parr, in Hoards Dairyman. Saw The Connection- HE WAS ROPED IN BY A CONFIDENCE MAN, Utrr HE HID NOT WEEP.

A Bare Brent A TOTAL ECUrSE OF THE SUN WILL USHER IX THE NEW YEAR. Now Year's day, 1889, will be ushered in with more than the custom ary eclat. In addition to tho usual terns tial attractions of turkey and trimmings, the cellestial feature of tho day will bo a total eclipse ot tho sun, visiblo mainly on the Pacifio coast, but partial throughout tho entiro United States. A total eclipse of the sun, visible in the United states is an un usual occurrence, and throughout tho West California, Dakato and Nebraska the path in which tho totality will be visible, is not more than 120 miles wide. As though gotten up specially for tho occasion, the eclipse1 will1 strike o(ir western coast Hue about tho loca tion of tho groat Lick observatory, where very olaborate preparations! aro being made for observations. The point of contact in the tar west will be shortly after noon. It will be partial in this part of Pennsylvania shortly before sunset. Harvard university will send an ex pedition to California to observo the eclipse. At tho close of their work a portion of the party will proceed to Peru, where Harvard has established a permanent station on Ono of the -peaks of the Andes. Two large telescopes to be used by the California party will be left a, tho observatory of tho university of Bouth California, where thoy will re main until the proposed new telescope with forty-inch lens is completed. This instrument will then lie the largest in the world, and the largest ever con structed. The famous Lick instrument has only a thirty six-inch aperture. No More Visitors to Harr'son General Harrison has changed in various ways since his election. His cool treatment of tho caw-makers on last Thursday night has caused many uncomplimentary remarks. This morn ing tho Journal stated that General Harrison bid not desire to have any moro visiting delegations wait upon him, as the election was over, and ho had other things to think about. A good many Ite'pnblicacs havo indulged in 'sharply criticising this sort of con duct on the part of the President elect, and ono quite prominent politican and a member of the Blaine-Harrison party went so far oh to say this afternoon that if he had known Mr. Harrison as well on last Tuesday as ho did to-day he would never have voted for him. Tho fact is, however, that General Har rison has only returned to his normal tomperament. The cordiality and hospi tality whioh were so often spoken of by those who visited him during ths campaign wero entirely assumed and Ills' Indianapolis acquaintances knew at the time that thoy were far from natural. How to Pluck Poultry I have known people on market-day to go out and kill twelvo or fifteen fowls, and to bring them nto a room wl)ro thero would be half a dozen women and boys pulling a few feathers at a time, botween the thumb and fore finger, to prevent tearing them. Now. for the benefit of such I will givo our plan: Hang tho fowl by the feet by a small cord; then, with a small knife, givo one out aoross'the upper jaw, op posite the corners of the moutuj after blood has stopped running a stream, placo the point of tho knife in tho groove in the npper part of the mouth, run th) blade up tho back part of the head, which will cause a twitching of the muscles. Now is your time, for every feather yields as if by ma do, and thero is no danger of tearing the most lendor chick.

Tatx Spjuncs, Tsnn., July 4, 18M The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.; Gentlemen Sercn years ago I contracted an exceedingly bad case of blood poison. I tried a physician, the best at command, bnt secured no benefit. My throat began to get sore, and my body covered with sores) and ulcers. Coins; from bad to worse, I felt that my grave must be reached in the near future, I gave up the doctors treat ment, and with a despairing hope I com menced taking , your medicine. I began to Improve from the first bottle, and In a short time the ulcers healed, and my akin cleared oil and was entirely well. One year ago a case of catarrh developed In my system. The physician did his best, but could not cure me ;' but two bottles of Swift's Specific gave me permanent relief. J. II. Koswsotf. Kaufman, Tex., June sj, 1888.
