The firm of bert,
in order to popularizo this impor-
tant branch Of their business, have
introduced into Paris the system
Of American up-houscs (bouil-
Ions Americaine), whero the labor
ing classes can obtain, for 20 cen
timos, bountiful supply of soup,
along with half q pound Of the
meat free from bone. Many such
establishments have since been
opened in several populous cen
tres Of the poor.
The public functionarics of tho
18th reimbursement, after using
these meats on their own tables,
along with their families, have
givon written certificates Of their
soundncss and excollcnco, recon-
mending enlargement and multi
plication of bouillons Americaine.
Moro than 500, 900 killogramm es,
! Cover 100000 pounds) of meat
from South America, preserved
by this process, have been received
ut tho custom houses in Paris. On
one of tho fete days in Paris, NJ.
Lambert dispensed gratuitously q
bowl Of soup and half a pound of
the South American beef, to 500
persons, who consumed four hun
dred quarts (htrcs) Of soup and
ECO killogrammcs Of the meat du-
ring tho day.
The process employed by Mes
Sis. Lambert & Biraben to pre-
scrvc tho meat Of cattle slaugh-
tered by them, is as follows:
The meat separated from tho
bones, is put into Il hydraulic
press and subjected to compress
sion it is thus formed into cakes
from 100 pounds to 200 pounds
each. These, after subjcction TO
the powerful compression, are
completely deprived not only Of
moisture but Of air. Tho cakes,
Immediately upon removal from
the press, which arc coated on tho
outside with q composition con-
tanning refined coal-tar, with the
addition of 20 per cont. Of pure
picnic acid. BY this simple, in
expensive and etficacious process,
tho meat, deprived Of air by COM
preston and protected by a coat
impcnetrablc to the admission Of
air and its sporulcs and infusoria
from without, was placed beyond
the power of corruption, with it's
freshness preserved during long
voyages through tropical lati-
,udcs so that on reaching Europe,
and being subjected to soaking for
Il few hours, it was found in per-
feet condition to be eaten. Ifany
odor derived from tho picnic acid
or coal.tar remained after the
soaking in water, it was entirely
dissipatcd during the process Of
boilin'
In ancc, England, and other
parts Of Europe, extensive use is
made Of carbolic acid for purifying
tho air Of stables and other places
whore horses and cattle are kept.
The most convenient form Of ap-
plying it in such cases is when
blended with somo fine powder,
such as plaster Of Paris, clay, sand,
common earth or sawdust. The
preparation Of this kind, most OK
tcnsivcIy known in Europe, is that
of MacDougall, which is not only
used in English stables, but in
those Of the French Emperor
Tho English stables arc generally
kept very clean, but they still ON
ploy tins powder every morning,
sprinklcd on tho floors Of the
stalls after tboy arc cleaned out,
in tho proportion Of about two
ounces to each stali-tho annual
cost averaging about $1.25 per
annum for each horse. The sta
blcs arc thus not only kept healthy
and FREQ from vcrmin, flies and
other insects, but tho manure
gathered from them is preserved
from decomposition and all offcn-
sivc odor.
Tho composition Of MacDougall
consists Of phenato Of limo and
sulphito Of magncsia. This and
other powders, OF which carbolic
acid is tho active ingredient, may
also be applied with great advan-
tagc in chicken and pigeon houses,
TO keep away insects by which
fowls and birds are infested.
Flies and mosquitoes arc quickly
overcome by tho presence Of car
bolic acid. In part of the coun-
try whcre / met with mosquitoes
almost in clouds, l tried this cx-
pertinent: A powder containing
the acid was mixed up with butter
on a plato; before putting the har-
ness on horse about to be driven,
he was very lightly smoarcd ali

Scarcely any appearance Of tho
ointment could be observed on his

finished. Tho harness was thon
