flys, similar to an old-fashioned cylinder
press, keep turning them over and over
to prevent them being scalded too much,
From here they are takfcn bv a man
a!1 rj ruu head first into the bristle raa
chine, which reminds one of a street-car
scraper. It just requires about fifteen
seconds, for the pig to pass through this
operation, and he comes out clean and
white minus his coat. The pig falls onto
a large oval-shaped laba, covered with
zinc, -where scrapers remove what few
bristles remain. This is all done so
quickly that from the time the pig is
jerked out of the pen until he is disem¬
boweled requires but two minutes.
The entrails are carried away in hand
barrows to another part of the building,
where every particle of useful material ii
taken out Iti the alley way leading to
the cooling room there is one continual
string of dressed hogs passing along. In
fact, from the time the knife is stuck in
the pig's throat until he comes out at the
cooling room he is kept constantly in
motion, pH the work being done by hand,
with the exception of the bristle ma¬
chine.
In the opposite wiug of the building
from the pork house is the beef slaughter
peii. Ranged along the outside of the build¬
ing are thirty or forty narrow stalls, over
which a young man walks, carrying a
small sledge. A sharp, quick blow on
the back of the head, and the bullock
sinks to the ground stunned. In this
way he passes from one stall to another,
until the end is reached. Thf* gates at
the head of the stalls are then raised and
>
the bullock dragged into the slaughter
house, when another man with a heavier
hammer goes along and administers the
coup dc grace by three blows on the cen¬
tre of the forehead. He in turn is fol¬
lowed up by the butcher who does the
bleeding. The skinners then take hold,
one set removing the skin from the head,
while the others clean the legs and take
out the shank bones and hoofs. A sin¬
gle slash with a big knife down the body >
and the carcass is ready to be hung up
While the finishers are removing the hide
from the body with cleavers, another
man removes the entrails. Hardly has
the skin dropped td the floor, ere the
divider, with a strong, well-delivered
blow, divides the bullock into halves,
and it is given a start down the over¬
head railroad, on which it hangs by a
wheel and pulley, and started for the
cooling room.
All this is done in far less time than it
takes to write it. The work never stops
nid the flow of blood never ceases.
Every man and bov about the place is
kept on the jump to keep out of the way

A Little Snsrar History.
The Chinese, who invented almost
everything before anyone else heard of it,
says a writer in Good Housekeeping , claim
to be the original discoverers or the pro¬
cess of sugar-making, and it is said that
sugar was used in China as long as 3000
years ago. This is’misty, but the fact is
well established that it was manufactured
in China under the Tsin dynasty 200
vears at least before the Christian era
began, India has put forth a claim for
priority of invention, but the probability
is that the Hindoos learned the art of
sugar-making from the Chinese and that
through them the knowledge finally
iread to the Western nations Nearchus

Enduring Cold.
Referring to ti report current in the
Austrian papers to the effect that Queer
Victoria is in the habit of sleeping with
open windows in winter, and that hei
p .rtments rt Windsor are so cold that
her attendants and visitors are almo i
irozen, a Vienna daily reminds its read
r of Empress Maria Theresa’s liking foi
he told. Her apartments were very
rtrely heated. Bhe expose! herself h
draughts, and her writing table in winter
was so close to the open window that th.
•mow drifted in upon it. It frequently hail
happened that the hands of the
dresser were partially frozen while at¬
tending to her majesty’s coiffure, and
that the ladies surrounding her august
per-on literally trembled from cold.
Kaunitz, one of her ministers, never ap
peared before the empress in winter wi h

A School for Beggars.
Two London boys of thirteen,the chil
dree, of respectable parents, were rccenth
charged with begging. The boys alb gc<
that a woman trained them and other lads
as beggars, and that she used to kec|
their decent clothes and supply theni
with rags to go out in. Her own boy, it
is said, was the head of the gang of ju
vonilo beggars and used to take th
money, which partly went to his molhei
and part in refreshments and visits t
music halls. The mother of one of thi
lads said that she had been to this womai
and warned her that if she heard tha
her bov*s clothes were kept again sh<
« ou'd lock her up for unlawful posses
- on. The defendants adhered to their
t.atcment about being supplied with
