Preparation Of Meat Extract.

A new mode of preparing certain
kinds of meat has lately been patented
in Paris by NJ. Durand. This has more
particular reference to the flesh of
prawns, shEimps, and other delicate
crustaceans, in regard to which, as is
well known, much trouble is expert
enced in the picking out of the flesh
from the external skeleton after boiling.
The new method consists in placing
the shrimps, while still alive, in a
double metallic ring perforated with
small holes, some course material being
used as a filter. This ring is subjected
to pressure, which squeezes the flesh
out into vessel placed below. This
may be then mixed with the necessary
seasoning, boiled, and dried by evapor-
alton, so as to form a compact paste,
which will keep for a long time, fur
nishing an excellent article of food. A
similar process can be applied to the
preparation of fish, the meat of which
can be forced out, leaving the bones,
scales, ETC., behind. The flesh of both
fish and crustaceans before cooking is
very soft, and easily yields to the treat.
ment indicated. This process might
perhaps be applied to advantage in the
case of shad and herrings, the bones Of
which constitute so great an objection
to them as an article of food.

A Safe Test for Coal Oil.

A correspondent writes: The most
effective way to stop the sale of danger
GUS oils and burning fluids which are so
destructive to life and property is to
educate the people. The test is so sim
pie that it is in the power of every one.
It has often been published, yet there
are thousands of people who have not
heard it. You will benefit the people
by repeating it often.
The test is as follows: Pour small
quantity of the oil out upon saucer
or tin plate; apply lighted match; if
it ignites Immediately, or even before
the fire touches it, let the oil be return
ed to the vender as unsafe.
Good, safe oil will not flash, but burn
slowly when the lighted match is drop
ped into it, and the fire is extinguished
as soon as the match is removed. II
the people will subject their oil to this
test and use only that which stands it.

One Of the Men Wanted.

The Bank of England forgers, says a
letter, for q long time kept up very
large bank accounts, lived in excellent
style, presented drafts upon different
houses of good standing, which, being
genuine, were promptly paid, and they
manifested a knowledge of banking Gus
toms and rules which could only be ac-
quired by persons actually in business
in Wall street or in the money mart of
London. So far as known, the other
forgers were not posted in regard to
the usages of the street but with
Gray, who is supposed to be one of the
men, and who had a practical knowl-
edge of finance in all it's branches, in
their ranks, they would find no diff.
Guilty in making off with a good por-
ton of the "reserve of the Bank of
England.
"Gray," said detective, "could do
anything in the way of rascality. Why,
he was the coolest hand [ ever did see
at forgery, and then the way ke could
cheek it out when the detectives came
after him! Why, do you know, when /
had him cooped up in his house in
London, and dozen detectives about it
at the front and back doors and all the
windows, he just colored his hair and
whiskers, and, going to the back door,
told the detectives that the man they
were hunting for was upstairs, and
they must hurry up at once if they
wanted to catch him, for he was slip
perry fellow, and like as not would
crawl away over the roofs. And then
he went away. The Britishers kept at
the back-door looking upstairs, and we
at the front door got in and passed
through the house, and finally found
out how we had been tricked. OH he
was game one. Just think of him
hobnobbing with Baron Rothschild
and the other big bugs on the Other
side, drinking their wine, riding theil
horses, and hunting with their hounds.
The detective laughed heartily while
recounting some of Gray's exploits.

Picking Pockets.

The passengers on crowded ferry
boat were much amused one day at see
ing a gentleman very deity pick his
friends pocket of his pocket-book and
transfer it to his own. They were still
more amused at seeing third "gentle-
man take the pocket book even more
deity from the amateur and disappear
in the crowd. The announcement came
soon. Number Two asked Number One
to let him see his pockeG-book, and,
when his friend could not find it, pro-
ceeded with smile to restore it to him.
His smile, however, was soon changed
to look of intense surprise, which
was very much enjoyed by the bystand-
ers, for they expected that gentleman"
Number Three would soon appear and
unravel to his friends this amusing
mystery. But, alas ! Number Three
never came back. He was, it seems, q
true " artist" who had coolly robbed
the amateur as publicly as the latter
robbed his friend. In the hurry and
confusion of landing Number Three
made his escape, SO the amateur was
obliged to compensate his friend for
the contents of his pocket-book, prob
ably resolving, at the same time, to
eschew ever after any such practical
Jokes.

Aneedote Of Baron Rothschild.

A short time ago the Baron Van
Rothschild took a walk in Paris, and
suddenly found himself behind the
Pantheon, in a part of the city with
which he was not familiar. He entered
the shop of a dealer in old curiosities,
and discovered among a great deal of
worthless trumpery an old barometer
from the time of Louis XVI, the cary
ing of which was exceedingly well pre-
served. The Baron, who is a connoiseur
of such things, Immediately resolved to
buy the barometer. The price was ten
francs, and Rothschild, glad to get it
so cheap, put his hand in his pocket to
give the woman who kept the store a
ten franc piece. Unfortunately he dis
covered that he had left his pocketbook
home.
Well, never mind" said he, 'I will
take the barometer, anyhow. Send it
to my house. am the Baron Roths-
child. The money will be paid to you
at my house"
81 do not know your name monsieur,
replied the woman moreover, 1 never
send any goods away unless they have
previously been paid for"
The baron was greatly puzzled. He
had never dreamed that anybody could
be ignorant of his name but as he
happened to be in very good humor,
he felt highly amused, and was just
about to give her some information as
to who he was, when he saw commits
sionaire pass byon the other side of the
street. He beckoned to him, and when
the honest Auvergant stood before him,
he asked him:
"Do you know, perhaps, Baron
Rothschild ?"
"That is a funny question, sir,
Rothschild? Why, that is our money
king. Why do you ask that ques.
ton ?" he said, growlingly, for he
supposed it was mere mystifcation.
because madam here refuses to trust
him for ten francs" said Rothschild
pointing to the woman.
Is that really true, Madame Du
clos ?" cried the commissioning, in sur
prise.

At these words the baron burst int
fit of laughter.
Very well, Monsieur Pierre" hi
said, eff you will gomy security, do so
but above all things go and fetch me

my house."
The commi5sionaire received a yer,

When Colonel Muligan's Chicago
regiment lay in camp away down South,
one of the privates, named Barney, in
a moment Of passion and intoxication
stabbed and terribly mangled a COM
rade. Barney was one of the hard
characters of the command, and 1t was
a matter of no surprise when the court
martial sentenced him for this last and
gravest of his many offences to be shot,
and fixed the day of his execution.
Meanwhile, 10 the surprise of every one
including the surgeons, the wounded
man began to recover and was soon pro-
nounced out of danger Public opinion
took the usual turn. 1t was thought a
pity, after all, to shoot fine young fell
low, such as Barney was in his better
moments besides, he was one of the
boys, had been born like them in Chi
cago, grown up with them, enlisted with
them, and fought with them. A move
ment looking to petition for the cul-
prit's pardon was set on foot, in which
none joined more heartily than the
wounded man, and the camp, which,
but yesterday, was for lynching Barney,
now yearned to save his life. But the
General commanding had approved the
finding of the court-martial, and only
the President could interfere, and the
regiment was encamped away from the
telegraph lines. So that, though the
necessary documents had been for
warded, backed by strong recommends
tions, there were grave doubts if the
merciful message which Mr.. Lincoln
was almost certainly to send would
reach the camp in time. An express
was sent to the nearest telegraph sta
ton, thirty miles away, to carry the
message with all haste-and all waited
impatiently.
The night before the fatal day arriv.
ed. Barney was to be shot at sun.
rise next day. No reprieve had arrived,
and reluctantly the adjutant prepared
the necessary orders, detailed the firing
party, arranged for the parade. The
night wore on. 1t is safe to say that
not an eye was closed in the camp, and
every ear was strained for hoof-beats
from the East. Past midnight, one
two, three o'clock. There were move
ments in the gray Eastern sky the

Suddenly a faint sound was heard, as
of a shout away to the East. The ex

gathered in anxious groups. The off
GERS were hardly less excited, and min
gled with them. Then in rapid success

ROnanarte,S Love Letters.

The great Napoleon, when absent on
his campaigns, used to write the most
tender love letters to his wife, Josephine.
Here is one of his short war notes
" [ write very often to you, my dear
love, but very seldom hear from you.
You are tickle, ugly, wicked creature.
Perfdious ! to deceive poor husband
and ardent lover Must he forfeit his
rights because he is far away, burdened
with difficulties, cares and fatigue /?
Without his Josephine, without the
assurance of her love, what remains for
him on earth What can he do A
thousand loving kisses. --BoNAPARTE. "
The next is curiously tender don't
love you bit ; on the contrary, L detest
you. You are an ugly, stupid, wicked
hussey. You never write to me, and
you do not love your husband. You
know the delight your letters afford
me, and yet you send me only a few
dozen hurried lines. Pray, Madam,
what do you do with yourself all day
What important business is it that pre-
vents you writing to your fond lover
What affection stiles and puts aside the
rove, tne Ienuer ana constant love, you
promised me? Who can this new won
der be-this new lover who absorbs all
your time, tyrannizes over your days,
and prevents you from thinking of your
husband? Take care, Josephine, some
fine night, the doors closed, and I'll
surprise you. But seriously, I am very
uneasy, my dear love, at receiving no
news of you /; write me four pages i'm
mediately, full of those charming things
that fill my heart with tenderness and
delight. I hope to embrace you before
long then [ shall cover you with a
million burning Observation-Disclosures. "

When the physical energies droop and the mind

which it rouses the dormant powers of the muscp-

THE PIRATE. Among the most no.
torious of the leaders of the buccaneers
or pirates, who originally started out
from Tortuga, and whose names became
famous in the Gulf and particularly
about the West Indies, was the famous
Morgan, afterward Sir Henry, who, af-
ter committing every crime known, end
ed bystealing the booty of his comrades,
with which, retiring to the island of
Jamaica, he succeeded in making por-
ton of the world believe he was high
toned, honorable man, becoming ac-
tually an officer of the government, and
receiving the honor or knighthood. His
portraits represent him as fne-look-
ing gentleman, and he is said to have
sprung from respectable family in
Wales.

A WRESTLING MATCH. The last
match is in the way of wrestling,
and took place in California. Two men
tried it for the championship of the
State and $3.50 in money. After num-
Der of falls and great deal of skirmish-
ing, the final wind-up took place in this
manner: Murray gave his antagonist,
Marky, a severe fall. He lifted him
two or three feet and spun his body
from him, which fell at full length on
the floor. The fall was rather an I'M
easy one. Murray's friends lifted him
bodily on their shoulders, and amidst
the widest enthusiasm, carried him
from the hall, the band playing, "See
the Conquering Hero Comes" One of
the results is that Marky gave the
championship and $3.50 for a set of very
sore bones and pair of disordered
shins. Marky weighed 200 pounds and
Murray ITO.

TAKING IT CooL.-.One of the men
believed to have been interested in the
forgeries on the Bank of England was
arrested on steamer entering New
York harbor. He is described as fine
looking man, in possession of half a
dozen names and some $50, 900 in gold
and diamonds. He treats his arrest
ceolly and says there is no power which
can take him to England for trial. 1t
is said that had his confederates on the
steamer been known, at least quarter
of million dollars would have been
found in their possession.
