How They Kill Cattle in Texas.

THE ordinary plan Of drawing the steer
down to the block and striking him on
the head with an AK is too slow for the
wholesale butchery carried on here.
About one dozen head are driven into a
small pen, just sufficiently large to hold
that many closely packed, and a gate
forced to behind them. This pen has an
open Stat platform across the top of it
upon which two men are stationed with
poles and sharp-pointcd knives fixed on
the end of them. With rapidity ac-
quired by long practice they plunge
their spears into the necks of the
affrighted and struggling animals,
cutting the iugular vein, and each
successfully falls as if struck with
an AK. The blood spirits out in
in streams as if from dozen fountains,
and in less than a minute the whole penful
are down, quivering in the throes of death
and covered with blood. The door of the
pen leading into the rendering room Is then
thrown open, the animals drawn out sue
cessively and knife rapidly Sits the
skin around the neck and down the stom
ach. A rope is attached to the upper part
of the hide by clamp, to the other end
of which is mule which leisurely walks
off down the yard carrying the skin of
the animal with him, and leaving the car
cass still quivering with animal life. A.
tackle hoists the body up to level with
one of the immense caldrons, and in less
time than we have taken to describe the
process it is in the seething and boiling
mass. There are four or five of these
caldrons, each large enough to hold q
dozen beeves, and they are kept constant
ly going during the killing season. The
and the remains of these great soup-ket-
ties are carried out ON what is called the
hash pile" consisting of bones, horns
and the animal matter from which the
fatty substance has been extracted.-Bai-

A Substitute for Ice.

1t is probable that many good house
wives do not know that butter may be
kept firm and nice-looking by merely in
verting over it 1owerpot covered with
damp cloths. In the same way water
pitcher enveloped in wet cloths will keep
it's contents cool and grateful to the
parched throat this hot wather.
On large scale the same plan may be
used in the ields--as we have before said,
but IL will bear saying again. The con-
tents of barrel enveloped in cloths
which are kept constantly wet will beso
pleasant as almost to induce the laborer
in the field to drink more than is good
for him.
The reason why water kept in this way
is cool Is, that the evaporation of the out
side dampness carries off the heat from
the inside-just as Precipitation carries off
the heat from the human frame, and
renders a live man capable of Withstand
ing heat which will cook beefsteak.--

Typographical Blunders.

My subject is the Printers Devil, and
the ground this essaylet is intended to
cover is the fertile field Of typographical
errors
The devils work sometimes causes such
curious felicities of style that it is hard TO
believe they are unintentional. IL seems
