A Real Estate Incident.

Kansas City to invest his money. Like
all Eastern men he wanted corner iot,
and an agent went out to show him one.
The price was high.
"But," said the buyer " | cannot build

high upon it. The lot is useless.
"Do you see that rayine lot down
thereYn asked the agent, pointing It out
"Yes."
"Well, the man who owns that lot will
give you 5000 for this bluf 10 fill up his
lot" "-. -
This sounded very well, and the buyer
said he would see That day he went 10

Live and Dead Weight OF Animals.

THE amount of meat obtained from a

very variable, and experiments have re-
Gently been madein Liverpool tQ ascertain
the proper allowances to be madesi From
the statistics to he derived from the public
slaughter. houses or abJttoirs of Paris'and'
Brussels, it appears that the race and the
condition of the animal, besides many
other circumstances, affect the result, and
that certain animals yield as much as 20
per cent. of meat, while others only give
so per cent. The mean weight of meat
produced, however, is calculated ats5S per
cent. of the live weight in beef lgcstLle, IN
the case of sheep, the proportions IS from
40 To so per cent. From experiments
made, il appears that the different pro-
