The subject for discussion at the Scottish
Corporation Hall, Crane Court, on Saturday
night, was the preservation of meat. Spe-
cimens of home and colonial manufacture
were laid upon the table. DIR. Druitt who
introduced the question, pointed out that
the means OF importing into England the
produce of the overstocked portions of the
world was matter of vast and increasing
importance. He then introduced Mr.
Jones. who preserves meat upon n patented
process Of his own, which was described In
the Daily News when 10 was first Introduced
to the public. In reply 70 questions from
various medical gentlemen present Mr..
Jones stated that the n1trftive properties
are all retained in the meat ITSELF the water
merely being withdrawn into q receiver,
instead of surrounding and permeating the
meat extracting its virtue, and breaking
down its fibre. The flavor Is entirely re-
tanned. rendering the meat pleasant and at
tractive, while its appearance and nrmness
are equal to that cooked by the ordinary
domestic appliances. The same Important
results are secured by this system in the
preservation of fish, poultry, sausages, etc.
At the completion Of the operation a simple
means of closing the tins not only super
sedes the use OF solder, but also greatly
simplffies the apparatus required. by rem
deffng unnecessary any taps above the tins
Mr.. Jones was thanked for the explanafions
he had given, and 1t was incidentally men
toned that an Immense trade Ia being done

Opinions favorable 70 the use Of preserved

THE PLEASURE OF TWILIGHT What
pleasant time of day the twilight is I
Indoors, the fire shows more brightly in
contrast with the slow gathering shade,
and out-of-doors every thing is softened
and subdued. The trees, grown almost
naked in the fierce November winds,
wrap the gauzy evening light about their
bare arms, aud seemed quite clothed
again; the old fences and barns put on a
sort of newness as their cracks and blem-
ishes fade out of sight; and even lean old
Dobbin seems to fill out to quite shapely
horse, as his grazing form shows against
the soft gray sky. Father comes in from
work, and after he has kissed baby over
and over again-besides letting the little
rascal pull few hairs from his Leard-
he has time to listen to the dozen requests
that you've waited all day to make; or if
father wishes to doze, mother will walk
little way up the road with you, or take
you into the pleasant sitting-rooom, and
tell you wonderful stories till it is time to
light the lamps. Ali it certainly is very
pleasant, this hour of neither day nor
lingering sunlight without
any sun in it. The old Anglo-Saxons
named it very prettily taueo-leoht or doubt
light, and so gave US our word twilight.
A few hundred years ago, their descend
ants called it sc cock-shut time, because,
Just before dusk it was the English Gus
tom to spread net called cock-shut
for the purpose of catching woodcocks.
1t was so made that it closed or shut
whenever bird few against it. In the
play of Richard III, Shakespeare makes
one eff the characters say:

Much about cock-shut time, form troop to
