THE BAcoNIAN SYsrEM.-At of the great lard
manufacturing establishments in Cincinnati, where
they try OUT 600 hogs day, the entire animal
exclusive of hams is reduced to grease spot by a
remarkable summary process. The factory has seven
large circular tanks ofan aggregate capacity to hold
$4,000 lbs. These tanks receive the entire carcase
barring the hams, and the is biected to a
steam process with pressure of 70 lbs the square
inch which dissolves it completely the aquafor
It's bath melted the Yelled Prophet Every drop of
oleagenous juice is squeezed out OF the quadruped
and its bones reduced to powder. The fat is
drawn off, and the residuum used manure. The
idea of feeding the Unsuitable tanks with continuous
stream of hogs just you would feed the hopper of
mill with corn, has something grand and startling
in it. One wonders that the porcne genus does not
out under the tremendous consumption for there
upwards of thirty of these factories in Cincinnati
alone and if they up 200 hogs per day for three
months in the year. it involves annual humiliation
of half million of swine. The in that region
must be remarkably prolific And only think of treat
ing the creatures the French treat frogs-eutting
off their hind legs for the table and making light of
all the of the carcase! Awful waste, is it not
We never heard of rasher proceeding.

ScoLDNG.-A great deal of injury is done to chill
dren by their parents scolding Many children have
been nearly quite ruined by it, and often driven
from home, to become vagabonds and wanderers, by
scoldng. It your temper, provided it is sweet
which is question: if you scold, the more you have
to scod; and because you have become crosser, and
your children likewise. Depend upon it they cannot
love you we'll after you have beraed them they
did tefore. You may approach them with frmness
and decision; you may punish them with severity
adequate to the nature of their offence, and they will
feel the justice of your conduct and love you notwth
standing all. But they hate scolding 1t strs up
bad BLOOD while it discloses your weakness and low
ers you in their estimation. Especially at night,
when thew are about to retire. their hearts should be
melted and moulded with voices of kindness, that
they may go their sumbcrs with thong of love
stealing around their souls and whispering peace.
A SNAKE SroRY.-An old deacon in Yankee land
told us good story He was standing one day
beside frog pond-we have had his word for it
and saw large garter snake make attack upon
an enormous bul-frog The snake seized upon one
of the frogs hind legs and the frog to be par
with his snakeship, caught him by the TAIL and both
commenced swallowing one another and continued
this carnivorous operation until nothing left of
either of them .-
This beats the celebrated fight of the two Kilken-
ny cats.
