HOW GRASS is CHANGED TO BEEF

The OK is u ruminant-and all rumf.
nants masticate their food the second
time, or rather first swallow and then
after some time commence the procese
called "ruminating.' or popularity called
"chewing the cud." Let us trace this
process in the cow. /
The tongue first collects mouthfui of
grass into bundle, when it is nipped off
by the teeth of the lower jaw and the
grasping power Of the muscular lips. She
does net pause to masticate now, bat
swallo it whole. 1t decenGs to the first
stomach or r0nten, which Is only store,
house in which the food is Kept till wat
ed. This first stomach consists Of four
small subdivisions, and the coat is COW
cred with thousands of little elevations,
which doubtless produce some chemical
change in the newIy~received food From
this first stomach The food passes into he
second, which is the much smaller and
very complex in its structure. It is GOV
cred with q multitude OF small cells, from
which is often called the honey comb BAG
In this second omach the food takes the
form OF found com pact masses, which are
returned through the outlet to the mouth
l. L.
Now begins the process Of Illuminating
during which she seems to enjoy the very
perfet ton of animal bliss AS each Dor.
ton of the food is properly mastic ted il
passes direct from the mouth IT, the third
stomach. This is accomplished bv the
closing OF the tube that leads toafhe frs,
and second stomachs. The third stomach
IS very small and called many plus, tron
the numerous folds Of which it is com
posed. arranged like the leaves OF a boz k
Between these active folds the food rests
short time, when it passed into he fourth
or true stomach, where the process of di
gest on is completed, aud the food passes

The sweet moonlight worked delicious
influence over a third Avenue rooster last
Sunday night. He started out with a
good resolve to attend worship, but the

sciousness OF wasting time. On they
stro led, in the abandonment OF their joys,
until at last they found their way to
seat in church. As they sat down, the
minister was rounding his last paragraph,
and as he said, "now in conclusion my
dear hearers" the nightingale looked up,
startled, and grew pale, while the wicked
rooster, for the first time i'll his life, was
seen to blush.

Cos building, every Friday evening
from 4 tot o'clock.
1t is seen in the lower western
pane of glass, from a position taken
near the alley Immediately back of
the center of that fine building. 1t
is standing erect with the right arm
extended, directing the observer to
heaven. Its height does not exceed
hat a yard, yet it is the outlines of a
well developed man, entirely innocent
in appearance
In the lower eastern pane of the

with cleaning eyes and broad grin
facing his flock.

on the bed, Directly some of the
neighbOrs came, and told the man to
open the door; he said he couldn't; the
burglars were in the entry, and he
would be murdered; at last one of the
men broke open the door and went in,
when it was found that a halt-grown
cat, in trying to get a drink out of the
pitcher, had forced his head in to the
water and could not get it out again,
50 he was prancing around, upstairs
and down, with the pitcher ON his
head, and made all the racket. The
pitcher was strong and they had to
get off of the cats head; in breaking
it, they broke poor pussy's head so
he will never play any more such
pranks.

Without Money or Credit .

We, the employees Of the {. x .. K. Il

ges concluded to take some measures to
ascertain when this company would pay
ND their Indebtedness to Us. We appoln-
ted committee to wait upon Mr.. L. J.
Hamer, our worthy Master of Machinery
and presented him with the following re-
quest, which was unanimously adopted by
all the workmen in and about the Shops {:
HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Feb, 2Sth 1874
Mr.. T. J. HAMER, Dear Sr:-We the
employees of the G. & o. II. K. would re-
spectfully request you to ascertain when
this company intends paying us our back
wages in MONEY. Our credit is gone and
that of the Company is doubtful in the
city of Huntington and points along the
line, and in order to restore our credit We
desire the Company to pay us up to date.
And unless our request is complied with,
we shall be compelled, as body, to resort
to other measures.
JOHN ii. JARVIS,
JAMES VI. FOSTER,
JONI b. MICHAEL,
WM. Y. SMITH,
Committee.
After presenting Mr.. Hamer with the
above request, he asked for time until he
could confer with Mr.. \. II. Perry, Gener-
al Superintendent of the Road, and ascer-
tain what he could do in the matter Con-
sequently Mr.. Perry came here Monday
evening and on Tuesday morning, by Mr..
Hamer's request We waited upon him,
making known our grievances, they be
ing too we'll known to need further COM
ment.) He stated that the Pay Car was
on the road and would be here soon, that
they intended to pay us for the month of
November in scrip, which being presented
to Mr. Calhoun, he would give us cash for
- per cent. of the amount presented, in
about ten DAYS he would be able to pay
another quarter, and so on until il was all
taken up. He said he could give us no
assurance or security, that our wages for
the months of December, January and
February were good, only his own word,
as Inc said, to use his own language, lie
had not S1000O000 to back IT,"
He also told us he could send -four to
those that needed it, but when we asked
him what the single men and those that
had families away from here would do?
he could give only an evasive answer.
After hearing what Mr.. Perry had to
say. we called meeting of the men and
stated the case to them, word for word, as
we got it. They unanimously, and with
one accord concluded that the company
was in arrears to us to such an extent that
they deemed it right and just to discon-
tinue work until the company could give
them assurance that their wages were good
and they intended 10 pay up.

ATTEMPTED SUICDE.-The COM
munity was a good deal excited on
Tuesday morning last, by the report
I that the wife of Rev. J f. Hardwick,
Pastor Of the Baptist church at Guy
andotte, had attempted to commit SUI
icide on Monday night. We took
pains. to get a correct account Of the
circumstance connected with the mel
ancholy affair, and will give them as
we received them. Mrs. Hardwick
has been in bad health for some time,
and has brooded over her trouble so
much that her mind has become affec-
ted; her continual lament was that
her lite was worthless; that she was
unable TO do anything tor her family,
and might as well be dead. She had
once or twice spoken Of wishing to
die and Of throwing herself from the
railroad bridge into the river. Most
ofthe time however, she has been per
fcctly rational and has conversed on
the state of her mind with entire free
dom. \ protracted meeting has been
going on at the church in Guyandotte
and she has been a good deal excited
lately, ON religious matters.
On Monday evening last, she did
not attend meeting, but conversed
with the other members of the fami-
~ on their return from church; when
the time came for retiring, Mr., Hard
wick accompanied a visitor to his
room, and when he returned to his
own room Mrs H. had disappeared.
He sought her but not finding her
he started with his friend in search of
her; they went TO the railroad bridge,
but saw nothing of her, and returned
70 arouse the neighbors; after a good
deal Of search, she was found on the
bank Of the river, where she had got,
ten out; she seemed to have been re-
stored TO her mind by the shock Of
pluuging in the water, and gave
statement of the whole affair; said
she was on the pier OF the bridge en-
gagged in prayer when her husband
was looking for her; she waited till he
left and then went down on the bank
and plunged in; the water was deep,
but she Aoatod and realizing what she
was doing, she crawled out on TO the
bank where she was found Mr. H.
has the sincere sympathy of the COM
muuity in his atiliction.
Mrs Hardwick seems perfectly IA
tioual since her recovery from tie was
ter, but is greatly distressed.
