A GREAT INDUSTRY. SLAUGHTERING CATTLiE Ilf ' CHICAGO PACKING HOUSE. Scores of hire Steers Rapidly Turned Into Sides of Beet Erery Part of the Animal Utilised OooItOK Rooms. "T ESCRIBING a visit to Chicago's I I -husrh packing houses, Julian - J Ra Iph says in Harper's Weekly : Some railway tracks are crossed and the sightseer stands in the thick of a cluster of packing houses. From out of a doorway under a phenomenally long porch come huge signs of red and white beef, shot Dut as if from a multiple can non. These great weights of meat hang from pulleys that run upon a track oyer- cead, and tney are swung along one after another as boards are turned out of a sawmill, and with force enough to toss the men who are paid to guide them as if the men were jackstrawj. These funks of meat were moving in the pen9 a short while before; now they ar being loaded into refrigerator cars. In this building the cattle are being turned into butcher's meat. I saw two fat and comfortable steer coming out of an alley, and wa? told that they were trained to lead the other cattle to the foot of an incline and enclosed gangway, there to turn and leave them, while the other brutes went on and up the walk to the slaughtering pens. That is earning their living and an honest one with a vengence! I saw that the beeves were driven into pens, and that men ran along or stood over them on planks laid across the tops of the pens. I saw that they jabbed and prodded the poor beasts into the right position for their purpose, and then that they felled them with crushing blows of hammers .upon their skulls. Then the doors of the pens were thrown open, Ichains were fastened about the hind le"3 i of the unconscious beasts, and they were rswung up so that they hung upon a trol iley running on a single overhead rail. (Silently and methodically the slaughter ers walked along and gashed their throats, and the mysterious red essence of life was flung with drenching volume on the slippery floor. Rapidly,far more rapidly than the reader would believe unlees he had seen it done, the carcasses are sent back to the next and the next and the next set of operatives to have kiln. PF 1L.1 iucji ui'Jd uku uu DBVHIUllj LUiil. they fetch more than any other hide (discarded by any other butchers in the world to have their entrails removed, to have their heads and hoofs' "taken off, 'to be split and washed, and to be sent swinging along to the cooling rooms. Silence, skill, expedition, these were the characteristics of all the labor in that ;muiderou9 place. Everything without particularizing too closely every single thing that ap pertains to a slaughtered beef is sold and put to use. The horns become the horn 'of commerce; the straight lengths of leg bone go to the cutlery-makers and others ; the guts become sausage casings ; their contents make fertilizing material ; the livers, hearts, tongues, and tails, and 'the stomachs, that become tripe, all are sold over the butchers' counters of the Nation; the knuckle bones are ground up into bone flour for various uses; th? ; blood is dried and sold as a powder for ! commercial uses; the bladders are dried Jand sold to druggists, tobacconists, and (others; the fat goes into olemargarine, (and from the hoofs and feet and other J parts come glue and oil and fertilizing 'ingredients. Over the slaughter-house I found a series of rooms heaped full of 'bones and horns. The bones had been boiled to get the fat of the marrow as well as to clean them. Then they had been dried and shaken about until they were as smooth and clean as cotton spools. The knuckle joints had been cut off them, and one room was filled with the ground-up flour of those parts. The white and pretty bones that re mained were to be shipped to Connecti cut, England and Germany, to be worked into knife-handles, fan-handles, tooth-brush handle.?, backs for nail brushes, sides for penknives, and into button hook handles, shirt-studs, cuff buttons, and so on, ad infinitum. Whit was to become of the horns was still more astonishing. By heating them and then tapping them skillfully.the operatives had loosened the soft cellular filling which solidifies and strengthens each horn. The substance around this, between it and the inner surface of the horn, goes for glue; the rest is ground up into bone meal. The horns were then to b sent to the makers or norn gooas, who, vj cutting each horn skillfully and then j pressing it between heavy rollers, man age to spread each one out into a fl it ribbon. In this shape it can be use 1 in a thousand ways. The artificers who do this work cut each horn spirally, so that 'it becomes a tight curl capable of being straightened out. By immense pressure, the curve is taken out of it. Good horns sel; it $125 a ton. It is by such thorough economy and ingenuity by losing noth ing and wasting nothing that the great firms id this busiuejs have monopolized their field. A small butcher in the East cannot kill his meat and market it in competition with the stock yards pack ers, because he must waste what they save and sell. I made a tour of the refrigerating or cooling rooms. They are kept at a tem perature of thirty-six degrees, I believe. Yet, when tfcp meat fre3h from the slaughter is raiirtowded into such a room, the animal besfift? it warms the room for a few disencuaufc-1 mis wartu nu w L. B. CiiAriK. MCv nfues can iivj i . Ii i i t m .'. tl rY turn a considerable time, and fills it with steam as with a fog. ' Once it is cooled, the sides of beef are firm and bard and almost appetizing. Everywhere, except at the actual scene of slaughter, these houses and the work in them are clean and above criticism. While I looke i on. they were killing four beeves a minute, or in every hour. There were slaughtered in these stock yards dunntr 1890 do less than 2,319,312 head of cat-, tie, more than 1,000,000 sheep, and! 5,732,082 hogs. FUN.

Unquestionably industry is one of tha good qualities which may be attributed to all the natives of China alike. No doubt the fact that ninety-nine out of every hundred Chinamen perpetually live 'on the ragged edge of existence" is mainly accountable for this virtue, but it is unquestionably the leading charac teristic which strikes a foreigner on land ing iu China. No matter whether his ex perience lies in the crowded "streets of such cities as Canton or among the vil lage communities on the northern plains, the same ceaseless diligence is observable. A belated traveler passing through the streets of a town cannot fail to be struck with the sounds of labor which proceed from behind the closed ehutter3 of the workshops; and an early riser in the country will be robbei of all self-congratulation by fin ling that the field la borers have completed a recognizable portion of their day's work before he was astir. The Emperor's day begins during a great portion of the year before daylight, and in every yamun throughout the land his example is followed. Such inde fatigable industry would under favorable circumstances produce a prosperous, well-to-do people, but in China the population is so dense that it is only by this means and by the exercise of the strictest economy that the natives are able to keep body and soul together. Nothing is wasted by them, aad substance? which it would be better to throw on the dust heap are not unfrequently converted into 'ood. The AtheDteutn. When Inseots Play. It i9 well known that several of our notable as well as notorious human, social, and civic customs find their pre historic prototypes in the insect king dom. The monar hical institution sees its singular prophecy in toe domestic economy of the bees. War and slavery have always been carrijd on systematic ally and effectjally by ants, and, accord ing to Huber and ot'aer authorities, agri culture, gardening, and an industry very like dairy farming have been time-honored customs among this same wise and thrifty insect tribi, whoss claim to thoughtful consideration was so long ago voiced by Solomon of proverbial fame. Thevenot mentions "Solomon's ant"' as among the "beasts whici shall enter paradise." Indeed, tic hu.narj saint as well a sluggard may "go to the ant" for many suggestive hints an i commen taries. William Hamilton Gibson be lieves that insects also have their merry makings, their garden parties, and their picnics, and he is goin to attempt to prove it in a forthcoming article New York Witness. 4 'While farmers in the South are com plaining that the last year's cotton crop of nearly .9,000,000 bales the Urges! ever raised will leave them scarcely a dollar of profit, and bring thousands of them in debr," exclat-ns the St. Louis Re public, -'the Illinois State Bi.trd of Agri culture reports that seveo of the ten corn crops of that State between 1882 and 1S91 were raised at a loss of $80,000,. 000."

EW YORK'S Capitol at Al bany is the costliest building of modern times. Nineteen mill ion six hundred thousand dol lars hare been expended on it to date. The Capitol at Washington from 1793, when its corner stone was laid, to 1878, had cost, inducing its expensive furni ture, its almost annual alterations and repairs, less than $13,000,000. The most expensive municipal hall in the world and the largest in the United States is the City Building of Philadel phia. The largest clock in the world is to be in its tower. The most expensive Legislature in the world is that of France, which cost an nually 13,600,000. The Italian Parlia ment costs $430,000 a year. The next to the highest price ever paid for a horse in the world was $105,000, for which Axtell, the trotter, was sold in Indiana at the age of three years. On January 11, 1892, Arion wa3 sold by Senator Stanford to I. Malcolm Forbes, of Boston, for $150,000. That beats all prices. Charles Reed, of the Fairview Farm, Tenn., gave $100,000 for the great stallion St. Blaise at a sale in New York in October, 1891. The costliest paintings of modern times are Meissonier's "1814" and Mil let's "The Angelus." M. Chauchard gave 850,000 francs ($170,030) for "1814" and 750,000 francs ($150,000) for "The Angelus." Mr. Ilenry Hilton in 1887 paid $66,000 for Meissonier's "Friedland, 1807," and presented it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The most costly book in the world is declared to be a Hebrew Bible now ir? the Vatican. In 1512 it is said that Pope Jules II refused to sell the Bible for its weight in gold, which would amount to $103,000. That is the greatest pric9 ever offered for a book. In 1635 a tulip bulb wss 6old in Hol land for $2200. It weighed 203 grains. The costliest meal ever served, accord ing to history, wai a supper given by JSlius Verua, one of the most lavish of all the Romans of the latter days, to a dozen guests. The co3t was 600U ses tertia, which would amount to 43,500, or nearly a quarter of a'million dollars. A celebrated feast given by Vitellius, a Roman Emperor of those days, to his brother Lucius, co3t a little more than $200,000. Suetonius says that the ban quet consisted of 2000 different dishes of fish and 7000 different fowls, besides other courses. The largest sum ever asked or offered for a single diamond is 430,000, which the Nizam of Hyderabad agreed to give up to Mr. Jacobs, the famous jeweler of Simla, for the "Imperial" diamond, which is; considered the fiaest stone in the world. The costliest toy on record was a broken-nosed wooden horse, which be longed to Napoleon Bonaparte and was sold a year or two ago for 1000 francs. The costliest cigars ever brought to this country were of the brand made for the Prince of Wales in Havana, the manufacturer's price for which was $1.87 apiece. The costliest mats in the world are owned by the Shah of Persia and the Sultan of Turkey. - The Shah and the Sultan each possess a mat made of pearls and diamonds, valued at more than $2,500,000. The largest mat ever made is owned by the Carlton Club of London and is a work of art. The costliest crown in Europe, experts say, is that worn by the Czar of Russia on state occasions. It is surmounted by a cross formed of five majnificent dia monds, resting upon an immense uncut, but polished, ruby. The ruby rests up on eleven large diamonds, which in turn, are supported by a mat of pearls. The coronet of the Empress, it is said, con tains the most beautiful mass of diamonds ever collected in one band. The most expensive royal regalias m the world are those of the Mi'airajah of Baroda, India. First comes a gorgeo is collar containing 500 diamonds, ar ranged in five rows, some as large as walnuts. Top aud bottom rows of emer alds of equal size relieve the lu;tfe of the diamonds. A pendant is a single brilliant called the "Star ot the Daccan.' The Maharajah's special carpet, 10x6 feet, made of pearls, with a bij diamond in the centre and at e tch c roer, cost $1,500,000. The most valuable gold ore ever rained in the United States, and probabl? in the world, was a lot containing 200 pounds of quartz, carrying gold at the rate of $50,000 a ton. It was taken from the main shaft of the mine at Ishpeming, Mich. The greatest sum ever paid for tele graph tolls in one week by a newspaper was the expenditure oi the London Times for cable service from Buenos Ayres during the revolution in the Ar gentine Republic. The cost of cabling from Buenos Ayres to London was $1.75 a word, and the Times paid out $30,000 for one week's desp :ies. W. J.

An unknown body was found floating in the Delaware River recently, which bore some very perfect specimens of tin tatooer's art. Jacob Zizrachi, a Syrian, who helped recover the body, went to the morgue keeper and begged for a piece of the skin of the left arm which bore a striking picture of the crucifixion; he even off ered ten dollars for it. Ziz rachi said that in Morocco, where he had passed the greater part of his life, then, were raany dealers in curios who would give him from ten to one hundred dob lars for such things, according to the ar tistic finish of the picture. He had made hundreds of dollars by trading with these merchants, and had learuec the secret of properly preparing the skit for framing. The cuticle is first care fully dried and tanned, and is then treated with a peculiar solution of poi sonous drugs, which has the effect ol bringing into bold relief the pigments used in the tatooing. It is afterwardi pressed between two plates of glass, and allowed to stand for a month or bo, af ter which it is framed and placed on gale. Many prominent citizens ot the larger cities of the Orient, the Syrian stated, had the walls of their houses dec orated with these objects. In somt parts of Arabia, according to his state ment, the sheiks of certain tribes always had their own portrait tatooed upjn their backs. After the death ot one of them the cuticle bearing the portrait was carefully cut away and prepared accord ing to the usual process, and revet ently carried from place to place br the be reaved tribe. v jki said that the pic ture on the ar .1 f the drowned man al the morgue would be worth fifty to sixlj dollars to him. New Orleans Picayune, Catalpa Timber. Of late years the catalpa has been made to serve an excellent purpose in the furniture trade.- It was used especially and with good effect by railroad car builders. It is, however, losing its name as catalpa, and is known by the furniture dealers as white mahogany. It has also occurred in the trade under the name of Pavara, but what is the deriva tion of this name is not known. In Philadelphia it is coming into extensive use.
