HippOphagy In Paris.

\ FRENCH savant furnishes, in a recent
number of the Economiste Fruncais much
curious information respecting the use
of horse flesh in Paris. In France this
edible is used to much greater extent
than in Germany, though in that country
its use is steadily increasing. 1t is
dressed in as many different ways as
becf-roast, baked, hashed, stewed and
fried as steak. But it is in the form of
sausage that it is most largely consumed
and in this shape its use is by no means
confined to Paris. Indeed, one of the larg-
est factories for the making ofsausages
from horse flesh is situated at Beau
caire, in the Gard During the year no
fewer than 800 horses were manufactured
into sausagcs at that establishment. Be
sides the flesh the tongue, brain and
liver of horses are sold as delicacies, and
even the fat, we are told, is converted
into ii kind of butter. In consequence of
the growth of the taste for horse-flesh,
the price of worn-out horses has risen
enormously of late, miserable animals
which few years ago the knockers were
able to buy for 81 now costing So
Animals fit for food fetch from
f5 to GO OF course it must not
be said that it is only horses which
are past work that are slaughtered
for the butchers shop. AT the same
time, however, every precaution is taken
to prevent unsound beasts from being
used as food. In Paris the horses must
be slaughtered either at the municipal
ahattOir in the Boulevard dc rIiopital or
at a.private abattoir at Pantin, and each
of them is inspected by "A veterinary sur
geon before being slaughtered, and again
before the flesh Is allowed to be offered

How to Stack Grain.

WHERE there is barn room it is always
best to put grain crops under roof, but
where they have to be stacked out from
necessity the work should be done in a
careful manner. The better way, under
most circumstances, is to stack at the
barn, then the grain is near the granary
when it leaves the machine, and the
straw may be saved where it is needed
for feeding, bedding and manure.
In building a stack of sheaves the fol-
lowing rules adopted from our own en-
perience, will be found, perhaps, of
profit to some of our inexperienced
readers at this time:
Where pen is not used for founda-
ton set up two bundles against each
other, and others against these until IA
circle is formed sloping from center to
circumference, each row half the length
of sheaf further out than the one be-
fore it. Garry out the foundation in this
way until it is of the desired size, and
then at the outside lay double row of
bundles and press them down well. The
foundation being now prepared, build
upon it by laying the tiers of sheaves
from the outside toward the center, each
row tapping butts to bands. Gradually
lay out until the stack has attained the
height desired-that is, let each row of
bundle butts project over tritie further
tnin the one beneath, so mat the clrcun-
ference of the stack will gradually in
crease in size as it goes up to a halfway
point, and then gradually draw it in until
the top is reached. Caution must be
used not to make the stack too fiaring; it
is only necessary to make difference in
the circumference of the base and center
to obtain the desired object, that of pro-
lection against heavy rainstorms When
building the stack always keep the cen
ter little the highest, and well tread
down, for in this lies the great secret of
having either grain or hay keep we'll
The outer surface, by being less compact
will settle ii little more than the center,
and consequently protect the whole from
damage by not retaining moisture. We
have found it "A good plan to let one tier
of bundles project some four inches AT
the point where il is decided to begin
drawing in for the top; this furnishes
what may he termed caves. If the stack
is to stand an indefinite time before
thrcshing, it will pay to give considera-
Bile attention To matching the top; at all
events it should have IA topping out of
bog grass or poor hay.-Ohio Farmer

The Dead-Animal Man.

.CAP'ES, any dead dogs on the slatcs'
The speaker was curious-looking.
w-legged old colored man who stood
just inside the door of the police office
yesterday afternoon, bowling and scrap
ing and holding battered old hat in one
hand while he clawed at his ron-gray
wool with the other. A Union and Amer
icaH reporter who happened to be in the
Office pricked up his ears. He had heard
a good deal about political slates,' and
it occurred to him that the venerable
colored man had intended to ask whether
there We're any dead ducks" on any of
the numerous political states of which
so much has been said and written recent
". But this was not the case, as demon
strated by Capt. Yater taking down Il
slate which hung near the door, and
reading aloud therefrom request that
Robert johnson call at certain number
on Market street and remove Il dead
dog.
"And are you Robert Johnson-the
chap who removes dead carcasses from
the streets and alleys of the city," in
quired the reporter.
"Ees sir" was the reply.
How long have you been in the bust
ness?"
Fourteen years"

Il gifts $35 Il month 'cept when l works
Sundays, and then l gifts extra pay"
How much extra pay"

times | works two or three Sundays in "A

nary one The street overseer he alters
Jumps the whole thing"
Do you find many dead dogs this
year,"
Yes, sir. One week last month l

Fourth ward. That was Il mighty fatal
ward to dogs that week. l think they
must "A took the cholera morgus. One
time l found twenty-five along Lick

How is business now?"
"Well, Use "A berryin' bout forty dogs

Where do you find them, generally?"
Strung along the alleys, mostly"
Don't you find the business rather dis
agreeable in hot weather."
Bless you, no. Some folks don't like
the smell of dead dog, but Use worked
at it so long don't never smell 'em at
all"
Do you have any political aspira-
tions?"
What 'sperashuns?"
Political aspirations-would you like
to run for some offlce?"
No, boss I don't never poster my

THOSE who do not know the luxury of
fresh-laid eggs, or the tender pleasures
of eating IL good spring chicken, cannot
imagine why SO many people who might
have beautiful yards and handsome
flowers, give up everything for a lot of
chickens. Yet much as we sympathize
with the chickcn-fancicr in many cases,
we do not know that we would have one
about if ii were to be at the expense of II
beautiful lawn and garden and all those
natural beauties which make life in the
country SO sweet. But our country folks,
those of them who read agricultural
papers, and thus have more than the
average share of intelligence, do not have
much trouble with the chicken question.
Somehow they manage to keep the gar
den quite private from the birds when
ever they wish to do So and thus in adj
dition to the chicken stews and omelettes
have an abundance of vegetables TO
eat, and flowers i'll profusion to decorate
the sitting room or dining-tablc. The
gardens are surrounded by laths neatly
whitewashcd, or by wire deity arranged
to keep fcathered intruders out, and thus
both ends are made to meet wisely and
well.
1t is wonderful how the practical minds
of country girls get over the common
chicken difficulties. Some with scores
of fowls running round will have beds
of beautiful flowers on lawns in front of
the windows, where the average mind
would give up in despair. We knew
one once whose plan of operation was
very simple and yet very successful.
Her theory was that the fowls only
wanted dust; and all that was necessary
was to keep the fowls off for "a short time
till the earth had lost its dust-lke char
acter. As soon as the soil was dug up
for the tlower-bcds in the spring, half
circles of straight branches were
ranged like wicker-work around the beds,
which served the double purpose of ii
guard and an ornament. The flowers
planted, the twiggy matter cut from the
branches round the edges was neatly
placed between the flowers, completely
covering the neWly-Stirred earth, and bid
ding defiance to all scratching tendencies
on the part of her feathcred friends.
After Il rain and the ground became set,
the brushy matter was taken away. Once
in while when the ground would be
looscncd or wecded, and there would be
danger of an incursion of the feathered
enemies, the branches would be placed
on duty for while till the temptation
was over.
OF course people in the respectable
suburbs of large cities will not need these
remarks. 1t would not suit in any of
these circumstances to have chicken
running around loose. The fancy chick
en- house is the only place for them But
farther in the country the hints may
prove of service. In no condition of life
is the principle that where there is IA will
there is a way more evident than in the
way some country-folk manage, by sim
pie contrivances like those we have
named, to have all the flowers they need,
and as good a garden as they could de-
sire without serious ANNOYANCE from the
chicken troublc.-G e1muatotrn Telegraph.

If a premium were offered (says the

Lieut.. Fitzgerald, the officer in charge,
that his horse and buggy had been stolen
from in front of his residence. such
thcfts are not unfrcqucnt. and the Lieu
tenant at once notified the other districts
by telegraph of the robbery, describing
the doctors team, as i customary. The
doctor then departed, but in an hour or
two returned, and, finding that nothing
had been heard of his team, visited the
MarShal'S office, who had inquiries at
once made by telegraph To know
if the horse had been found in
any of the districts, but received
n negative reply. DIR. Friedenwaid
was in quite an excited mood
and, after requesting the Marshal 10 place
the matter in the hands of the detectives,

procured for pressing purposes y couple

Swimming the Seine.

OF all the things in the world which
appear utterly worthless are soap-suds.
Mr. Simmonds takes il different view. He
tells us that soap-suds as stimulant
of vegetable life cannot be too highly
appreciated" We cannot 90 into his
arguments on the great value of soap
sUds, and it is sufficient to say that when
poured out manure they are of pro-
digious efficacy. The French, who are
up to everything in the chemical line,
have taken proper view of the soap
suds. Whether from private dwellings
in Paris or from the bargcs of the
btoDchtssenses, the Seine must have ii good
deal of soap floating about it in IA waste
