MISCELLANEOUS READING.

SWINE SLAUGHTER IN PORK0POLIS.
L cotton is king" in the South, 50 is pork
in Cincinnati. A reporter for one of the Gin.
cinnati papers has been on an exploring ex.
pedition to the hog-killing territory Of Deer
Creek, in the outskirts of that city, aud dc.
tails his experiences at length. A single
gang of hands in the establishment which
came under bis supervision, kills and prepares
for the packers work hundred hogs an hour,
each carcass passing through the bands Of
every individual Of the gang. The reporter
saw magnificent specimen Of the genus Sus
driven into the killing pen in the flower of
hog life aud activity, and five minutes
after he contemplated bis corpse, relieved
OF Intervals and externsls, white and clean,
and in fact, mere pork" singing by
his heels in the distant drying house, await
ing the salt and brine. So the operation,
much more accelerated sometimes, goes on
through the whole day, the hog travelling
more rapidly in death, through the hands of
the killer, the bleeder, the scalder, the picker
the emboweler, and others, than be ever did
in life on his own pettitoes.

GAS TEST.

A very simple test, by which to ascertain
the purity of gas, is given by the Memphis
Bulletin.
Make a solution Of sugar of lead with pure
clean, white sheet Of paper; expose it to the
ges issuing from burner not ignited. II
the gas is pure, there will be no discolora-
ton. If it is not, the paper will change to
reddish, dark brown, growing darker the
longer it is held in the stream of gas.
