The history of tlio "salt of the
earth" is coeval with tho earliest evo
lutions. Elisha, with salt, healeth the
unwholesome waters; anil to this day
the cultured Israelite of Europe
tlesses salt at the last meal on the eve
of his Sabbath, and then distributes it
amonff Ids miosta and f.imilv. lie
uses it freely at tho celebration of the.
Rosh, llashana, or New Year, Jom
Kipur, or the Feast of Reconciliation,
and Louthos, or Feast of Tabernacles.
It is a strict requirement of the Jewish
religion that any slaughtered meat be
eoaked in brine for an hour.
Salt was used by the earlier Egypti
ans in fertilizing the famous soil of
the Nile lands. It entered largely
Into the religious ceremonies of many
people, and we find It mentioned in
the hymn Rig Veda of the Brahmins,
the Dhammapada of the Buddhists, the
Zend Avesta of Zoroaster, the Ana
lyct3 of Confucius, the Koran of the
Mussulman, the Talmud of the Israel
ite, and the Divine Pymander of the
Egyptians.
The Arabs have always regarded
the giving of salt to their guests as
tho first and greatest requisite of hos
pitality. Give a grain of salt to a
Mohammedan, and for the twenty-four
hours that it remains in his body your
person and property are sacred in his
sight, though you be his deadliest
enemy.
At the late grand Oriental ceremony
of crowning the emperor of .Russia,
the blessing and distribution of salt
were marked features.
In the works of all the classical
writers frequent mention is made of
salt and its many uses. The "Attic
salt" of Greece is historical as the
synonym of wit Cicero said of a
statement of dubious correctness, that
it was ta be taken cum grano salis
"with a grain of salt." Pliny com
pares a precious stone to a scintillating
grain of salt Cornelius Nepos uses
Bait as a synonym for good taste.
The Romans regarded a salt mine as
giving extra value to a conquered
territory, and in Hungary, even to the
present day, the very mines opened by
the Komans are still in working order,
The mines at Chester, England, were
also discovered nnd worked by the
Roman conquerors. Livy speaks of
the salt works founded by Ancus
Martius at Ostia, and Caesar also men
tions them.
Horace writes or the salinum or
salt cellar as an heirloom, one of the
sacred Lares and Penates or household
gods, and Livy refers to it as being used
at au sacrifices.
In the feudal period the salt cellar
on the table was the line of demarca
tion between the patrician and plebeian,
the former being seated above and the
latter below it.
Among all races the spilling of the
Bait cellar is ominous of a quarrel or
other uiistortune. in cases or such
accidents the French invariably throw
three pinches over the left shoulder or
sprinkle a little on a fire to avert the
111 omen.
The ancient laws of the Spartans
loruade the giving of salt to criminals,
deeming this one of the greatest
punishments to which they could be
subjected; and the judges of Athens,
by whom the almost inspired Socrates
was condemned, and who were after
ward censured for their action, were
debarred the use of salt during the
remainder or their lives.
All the diamonds that ever came
from the mines of Golconda all the
gold, silver, coal, iron and other metals
that lie hidden in the bowels of the
earth all can be dispensed with in
the extreme necessities of nations and
people; but not so salt. It is their
superior in that it i3 an absolute neces
sity, without which existence would
be difficult and many of the daintiest
viands that ever tempted the palate of
a gourmand would lose their navor,
The London Lancet, in a recent
Issue, says; "Salt is the most widely
distributed substance in the body. It
exists in every lluid and in every solid,
and not only is it everywhere present.
but in almost every part it constitutes
the largest part of the ash when any
tissue is burned. In particular, it is a
constant constituent of the blood, and
it maintains in it a proportion that is
almost wholly independent of the
quantity that is consumed with the
food the blood will take up so much
ana no more, however much we may
take with the food; and, on the other
hand, if none be given, the blood parts
with its natural quantity slowly and
unwillingly.
Salt is used as a curative for dyspep
si a. It is an emetic, a stypticand a
spoonful of dry salt will sometimes
stop a hemorrhage. It is effectually
applied to sprains and bruises, and is
often used in cases of intermittent
fever. In small doses it is a stimulant
tonic, and in larger quantities a purga
live and emoiie.
So great is the desire of animals for
salt that they make regular trips to
the places wnere it is to be had. This
accounts for the so-called buffalo, deer,
sneep ana cow-ncks so numerous
mrougnoui me country, and it is a
well-attested fact that many discover
ies or natural salt reservoirs by man
are due to this cause.
Salt is produced, first, from sea water
by solar evaporation ; second, from
lagoons, part solar and part steam
evaporation; third, from solidified rock;
fourth, from springs and wells varying
in depth from 1100 to 1200 feet, whence
it is pumped into large vats and kiln
dried.
Asia is a large producer of rjalt In
C hina there is a continuous chain of
salt wells all through the country, at
a instance or mjies iroin one
unother. Tho landi are irrigated bv
these wells, uud are so tVrtile that they
I'lvduce yruuv are tto wimder Jf
the world. Java followed her example,
and Immense crops of coffee were the
result. In Siberia nnd Tartary the
plains are covered with saline incrus
tations. There are some 50 salt lakes
in Persia, w hich contain brine of ex
traordinary strength. In Palestine
tho waters of the Dead Sea contain
unusual saline properties.
J here are extensive tracts or salt
lands and beds of rock salt in Africa,
also. Honolulu is likewise a large
producer, and ships the article in great
quantities to San Francisco.
At Cracow, in Poland, there are salt
mines ZtO miles in extent, in whose
dark interior thousands of people pass
their lives. AVithin their precincts is
a lofty cathedral dedicated to be
Anthony. The entire building, altar,
statues, columns, pulpit nnd all. is
built of solid rock Bait. The imperial
family frequently visits these mines,
which are then illuminated, and festi
vals held within their limits. The
kings of Foland derived their chief
revenue from these mines, and de
pended upon them for the doweries of
their queens and the endowment of
their convents and other religious
institutions.
Soon after the landing of the Pilgrim
Fathers the eastern portion of tho
Atlantic coast became dotted- with
factories for the making of salt by
solar evaporation, nnd some vestiges of
this industry are still to be found upon
the Massachusetts coast
Virginia had salt works at Cape
Charles as early ns 1630, and in 1689
some enterprising colonists began to
develop those of South Carolina,
which later on assumed such import
ance that the colonial authorities
enacted special laws for the encourage
ment of the industry.
in the .Northern States the Jesuit,
Lemoyne, discovered the Onondaga salt
mines as far back as the year 1700,
and immediately thereafter the Indians
opened up a profitable traffic in this
article with Quebec and Montreal.
Some conception of tho extent to
which these mines have been developed
maybe gained from the statement that
while their product in 1788 less than
a century ago was only 100 barrels,
it has now attained the enormous
figure of nearly 2,000,000 barrels annu
ally.
1 rom 1830 to 1859 Michigan struggled

without avail. In the latter year the
Legislature of that State decreed a
bounty of ten cents per bushel. Since
then its product in quantity and qual
ity has excelled that or every other
State in the Union. The annual prod
uct of the first date above was 400 bar
rels; now it exceeds 13,000,000 bushels.
During the Civil War the South had
toTely upon the springs at Saltville,
"Washington county, Va., and a few
other places within its borders for its
supplies of salt; and a cargo of salt
was regarded as one of the most valu
able that a blockade-runner could bring
in. In 1864, after General Stoneman
made his raid upon the saltworks in
Washington county, the inhabitants
were compelled to dig up tho earth of
their old smoke-houses and wash out the
residuum of salt therein, and the Con
federate army found it necessary to
send relays of men to the Florida coast
to furnish them with a regular supply.
Some idea of the vast amount of salt
used annually can be formed when we
bear in mind the fact that tho con
sumption per capita in the United
States is estimated at 00 pounds; in
Great Britain 25, and in France 20
pounds. The famous wool-growing
merino sheep of Spain are estimated as
consuming 25 pounds each year as
much as is consumed by tho average
Briton. New York Truth.
Women In the Mint.
Fifty females employed in the mint
at San Francisco are called adjusters,
and their pay is $2.75 a day, counting
week days and all holidays but Sun
days. . Their hours are from eight
o'clock in the morning until four in
the afternoon, with the exception of
Saturdays, when they cease at two
o'clock. These adjusters occupy two
large rooms on the second floor of the
mint. One is one used for the adjust
ment of silver and the other for that
of gold. The floors are carpeted, and
each lady has a marble-top table, a pair
of scales, and a fine, delicate file. Be
fore the gold is turned over to them to
be adjusted, it goes through the pro
cess of being rolled, annealed, cut and
washed. They then take it in a-state
called "blanks," that is, perfectly
smooth, and the weighing is done. It
is weighed to see if each piece be of
standard weight, which must be 412 1-2
grain for a silver dollar, a slight dis
crepancy being allowed on either side.
If a coin be lound outside the limit
after being weighed by an adjuster, it
is returned; If too light, it is con
demned and must be remelted; if too
heavy, it is filed to its proper weight.
This is the ladies' work, and an inter
esting sight it is to watch the small
white fingers deftly handling the shin
ing pieces. A room near the adjusting
room has been set aside for the ladies,
who use it for a lunch room; two long
tables aro provided, and a janitrtsa
furnishes boiling water for making tea,
and also keeps the place neat and clean.
Several of the ladies have been in the
mint for many years.

"Well, I can't suy that I think much
