RADICAL SCuEMEs.-Therc is an evident
improvement in the tone Of public senti-

party who had almost "dcspaired Of the

turn.of the northern mind 10 something

THE TOPsY THEORY HOW CASTOR OH Is
MADE.-As strange as it may appear, many
of the colored people here cherish the be-
lief that there is u class Of physicians who
practice "burking," and arc addicted TO
the dissection OF live human subjects for
the purpose of manufacturing castor oil,
and that for this purpose the doctors prefer
bodies with dark cuticle. This opinion
is so firmly impressed on their minds that
no amount of reasoning will remove ii, and
we know many OF them, particularly juvc-
nile Africans, who will not bulge foot
outside their dwellings, after dark. An
otherwise intelligent "TopSy," employed
by us, describes the m0dtS OpTQndi OF
these imaginary ghoulS by saying: "Dcy
steal upon cullud persons unawarS, clap a
plaster over DER mouf to keep um from
hollerin, and den drag Tim away to whar
dey lay UNI on table and cut up, and den
bile UNI down for ilc." This is a cheerful
notion for those invalids who use the oil of
the palma christi bean as a cathartic. The
Annapolis (Md.) Republican states that a
similar belief prevails among the colorcd
people in that section, and it probably
exists elsewhere. How it originated it is
impossible to tell. Washington Star.

NovrI METHOD OF Crnrye MEATS ron


FooD--A NOVEL APPLICATION OF SCIENCE.
We were enabled to witness, in company
with many others, several entirely satisiac-
tory demonstrations of its successful APP
plication to the curing of meats for food.
The process is exceedingly simple, and
consists in using the natural organism pro-
vided for the circulation of the blood as a
conduit for the infusion Of pure brine into
the animal, and thereby sailing the meat
in as many minutes as il took weeks under
the old process. The method has been in
daily use at the extensive slaughtcrhouse
of Messrs. Albcrger, in this city, for seve-
raj months past, and is pronounced de-
cided success by all who have witnessed it.
Ii applies equally we'll to cattle as to
swine, although the demonstrations wit
messed by us were confined to the latter.
The following is brief description Of the
process The hog having first been render
cd unconscious by blow on the head, is
brought to the edge of the scalding vat,
laid upon its back, aud its sternum or breast
bone laid open with saw so as to expose
the heart. That organ is then pierced,
allowing as much Of the arterial blood to
escape as will flow. The animal is scaldcd,
its hair removed, and it is then conveyed to
the injecting table. Over this table, at the
height of eight or ten feet, is placed re-
servOir Of strong, cold brine, into which are
inserted rubber tubes terminating in small
metallic pipes. An orfcc having been
made into the left ventriclc of the heart,
one of these pipes is inserted into it and
tied, and the brine flows into the channels
of circulation, driving the blood before 1t
and out Of the incision in the heart itself.
As soon as the blood ceases to flow, a full
circulation of brine has taken its place,
and in from eight to ten minutes the flesh
is sufficiently imprcgnatcd with salt to war
rant its being Immediately sent to market.
The animal is then disembowcled, cut up,
and the product disposed of in the usual
way. Those portions designed for smoking
are submitted to that process at once, and
the rest is either packed or dry salted, as
may be desired.
The great features of this process Of
curing meats for food are that it may be
used in all seasons Of the year and in all
climates; that it is simple and easy in its
application, requiring no peculiar skill and
no expensive or complicated machinery
and last, but not least, that it obviates the
customary delays in getting the produce to
market which is involved in the old pro-
cess, and thereby largely reduces the
amount Of active capital necessary to carry
on the business. This new process also
seems to us to be destined to become a
valuable agency in the worlds economy in
warm climates.-Bufalo Advertiser, 10Th.
