BLOWING MEAT. Several of our ex,
changes say that the practice of blowing
meat before offering it for sale, by butch
ers, has attracted good deal of attention
recently in different places, and the au-
thorities are beginning to bring the par
ties to justice for the preparation of the
fraud. 1t is not only to be regarded as
a deceptive art, but the practice, to say
the least of it, is filthy and disgusting.
A piece Of beef or mutton is prepared for
blowing by an incison made in the thin
covering or skin of the muscles, or in the
transparent membrane that lies between
the layers in the bulky part Of the beef
One end Of a quill Is then inserted in the
beef and the other in the mouth of the
person who does the blowing. When the
meat is fairly blown, all The shrunken
places fill out and the fat pufis up, and
makes a very fine looking piece of meat
out of au inferior grade of beef. OF
course this makes it sell readily, and the
purchasers are not only deceived but dis,
gusted with the reflection that perhaps
some consumptive or other diseased
breath has permeated the best and mos
substantial food they get in the market

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1871-09-08

Some native Californians lassoed a
grizzly bear the other day, near Los An.
gelos, weighing nine hundred pounds.
This reminds Us of a strikingly similar
adventure of our own. With the read.
er's permission we will relate it, speak
ing of ourself Ito avoid the first person)
as Colonel Ceremony, who is an excel
lent hunter, loves Joke, and will par
don the liberty. Ceremony was hunting
bears in the hills back of Oakland, with
a good strong RATA, when he came upon
one whose weight could not accurately
be determined, but who appeared much
larger than he was expected TO. The
Colonel advanced to cast the moose.
Bear tat still. Colonel stopped and
whirled his RATA threateningly. Bear
stuck up his head and shut his eyes.
The Colonel adjusted the moose to slip
more easily. Bear held up one paw.
Colonel looped the end of his thong
tightly about his left wrist. Bear sat up
like statue, and smiled smile of res
ignation. Colonel threw the moose
little way 10 try it, and jerked it back.
Bear got down and walked slowly
toward him. Colonel retired so as to
preserve good throwing distance,
whirling menacingly. Bear trottedk
Colonel whirled once, wildly, and then
spread out the moose on the ground,
taking an additional turn of the other
end about his wrist. Bear came forward,
took the RATA in his paws, placed the
moose about his neck, tightened it, lay
down and shut his eyes. Colonel fished
out a sheath knife, severed the line be-
tween himself and the bear, and came
over to the city by the o'clock boat.
Thanking the Colonel for the use of his
name, we conclude by promptly assert
ing that no bear in California can stop
our progress when we have made up
our mind to 90 away.

The HippOpOtamuS.

The hippopotamus, or river horse, Is
an enormous quadruped, native on
various parts OF Africa, and is always
found in water or near TO ii. Its height
is not very remarkable, and its legs are
extremely short, but its body is long
and very bulky indeed. The average
height of a full.grown hippopotamus is
about five feet,
The color Of its skin is dark brown,
curiously marked with innumerabie
lines. like those on crackle' china or
oil paintings, and is dappled with a
number of sooty-black spots, which can
not be seen except by closely looking.
A vast number OF pores in the skin sup
ply thick oily liquid, which etiectually
protects the animal from the bad effect
of the water in which it lives most OF
the time.
The mouth is enormous, and its size
is greatly increased by the odd manner
in which the jaw is set in the head.
Within the mouth is an array of white
cleaning tusks, which have a terrible
appearance, but are solely intended for
cutting grass and the other vegetable
substances on which it feeds. With
these teeth the hippopotamus can cut
the grass as neatly as if it were mown
with a scythe, and he is able TO sever,
as with sheers, pretty thick stem.
It's appetite is enormous, and with a
stomach capable of holding five or six
bushels of food. 1t is a terrible nuisance
to the owners OF farms near to the riv-
ers in which the animal lives. During
the day 1t sleeps in its hiding place, but
as soon as night comes on issues from
is den, and, trampllng its way into the
cultivated lands, makes sad havoc
among the growing crops; and the
worst of the matter is, the hippopota-
by the clumsy, wading ray it walks. 1t
is a gregarious animal, and generally
goes in herds numbering twenty or
thirty.
All manner of traps are set TO catch
them by the landowners, who hunt
them without mercy, and find no little
profit for their teeth, which are of the
finest and whitest ivory. Weighing from
five to eight pounds, and are valued
at from four to six dollars per pound.
The young hippopotamus is not able
to stay under water as long as it par
ents, and the mother carefully brings
it to the surface every little while 70
breathe. During the first few months
of the animals life it takes its stand on
its mothers back and is borne by her
above or through the water, just as she
thinks wisest and best.
The creature is generally harmless,
and need not be dreaded, unless mo-
Tested, when it will violently attack
whatever object has aroused its anger.
DR.. Livingston, the celebrated Afri
can missionary, tells us of one of these
animals, whose little calf had been
speared by his men the day before.
/" She made at the boat" he says, in
which | was sitting, with such force
that she lifted the forepart of the boat
completely out of the water, capsized
one of the black oarsmen fairly into the
river. and forced the whole crew to
jump ashore.-Child'S Paper.

French NitrailIeuSpS.

The Berlin .MAtarischeS WochenJlaH
sums up an exhaustive article on the
French mitrailleuses in the following
terms:
While their general effect is much
inferior to that of artillery, the mtrail-
leuses require an equally complex and
costly organization, and they are no less
exposed to the enemy's fire. At great
distance they are Of little or no value,
on account Of their feeble range, the
limited space they command, and the
impossibiity Of accurately directing
their fire. At short distance they
suffer as much from infantry fire as ar
tillery. They cannot cover troops, partly
because they are placed behind them,
and partly because their preectles
neither burst nor rebound. In offensive
movements they are of no practical
utility, and It is only in exceptional
cases that they can be employed for the
defense for example, when there is not
sufficient space to deploy the requisite
force Of fusiliers. as sometimes happens
in defending narrow road and on 9TH
er similar occasions. We are convinced
by these facts that in future wars the
mitrailleuse will play much less i'm.
portant part than many people seem to
believe

A Gigantic Enterprise-Water for San
Francisco.

The San Francisco Bulletin gives some
additional information respecting the
contract, which has been signed, for the
construction of the Lake Tahoe Tun-
mel The estimated cost OF the work is
81 100000, and the time for the con-
struction of the tunnel and laying of
the water mains is set at five years, al
though, from present appearances, three
years will suffice. All along the line of
the Central Pacific Railroad, mains will
be laid for the use of cities and towns,
while for mining purposes the water
will be carried in bitches. The tunnel
through the Sierra Nevadas will be
from three TO five miles in length, and
and will be used jointly by the Central
Pacific Railroad and the Water Com
pany. 1t will do away with the Rail.
way snow-sheds, shorten the Railway
route over the mountains by several
miles, and carry the trains through a
less severe temperature than they have
as yet been accustomed TO. The eleva-
ton will be reduced 1000 feet, at the
lowest estimate. The quarries will be
ready by the lst of September, when
work will be commenced and prosecuted
day and night until completed. Taken
in all its surroundings, the Bulletin says,
the work is stupendous one, and if
successfully carried out, will be one
more testimonial of the abilities of Col.
Won Schmidt as an engineer.
