Beef Hung ND TO Dry.

The dried beef is production Of the
Grisens, for which they are indebted to
their climate. At the attitudes of their
valleys the air is so dry that for nine
months out of the twelve meat has no
tendency to decomposition. Awaiting
themselves of this favorable condition
they kill in the autumn the beef and
pork they will require in the ensuing
year. 1t is slightly sailed and hung up
to dry. Nothing more is done to it ex-
cept eating it. In three or four months
time it is not only dried, but also cooked,
that is to say, the air has given it all the
cooking it will ever receive. 1t has be-
come as dry and hard as a board, and in
ternally of the color of an old mahogany
table. Externally there is nothing to
suggest the idea of meat it is covered
with cobwebs, dust and mold, and Is
undistinguishable from fragments of the
mummies of the sacred bulls taken from
the catacombs of the Serapeum at Mem
phis. When your host brings from his
cellar the leg of the mummy of a Grison
COW, shrunk to the dimensions of the
human limb, and tells you that it is to be
your dinner, you are disposed to advise

across the grain with very sharp knife

stimulated by necessity, for the only al

impels you, with many misgivings, and
after much deliberation, to carry one of

Grating of Animal Structures.

Within the last 80 years amateur ex,
perimenters and surgeons have learned
that every sort of animal structure will.
under certain favorable conditions, re-
produces itself to some extent-the skin.
cartilage, nerve, muscle, bone, and even
the teeth. The teeth spring from
little bag or folhcle, in
whichis the organ of ivory and
that for the production of enamel.
When an entire follicle was taken from
q puppy, and grated into an adult dog.
the germ was regularly developed to
the production of complete tooth. The
enamel when grated alone persisted.
while the organ of ivory produced an
ivory tooth. These interesting researches
lead to the hope that teeth may some
day be thus restored, seeing that an en-
tire organ with complete structure is
more likely to grow than when it is only
a fragment transplanted and isolated,
like piece of bone.

StagnatiOn in Business the World
OYER.

1t is poor consolation in adversely to
know that we are not alone in our misery;
such as it is, however, our iron manu-
factrlrers may take it to themselves. The
depression of the iron trade is general
throughout the world. The production
of pig-iron in Scotland was less in 1874
than in any of the last twenty years. At
one time there were only thirty-two fur
naces blowing, out of 1872 erected, and
the production was 400, 900 tons less than
in 1870. Russia, notwithstanding its
activity in railroad building, imported
only 1921, 900 pounds of rails, against
7,1l9,0O in 1873. In Prussia, the large
steel works of Krupp has discharged
some thousand workmen; and the Borsig
mandatory of engines at Berlir-tho
most extensive in Germany-has had to
protect itself by taking a similar step.
Last month the largest Austrian MANN
factory Of engines, Sigl, dispensed with
1000 hands, for the reason that it had
neither orders nor sufficient working
capital. The government, however, in
true Austrian fashion, remedied both
misfortunes by advancing capital to the
works, and by causing some Of the rail
roads to give extensive orders for rolling
stock

AN IDLE PANIC WEST.

Not Grasshopper But "a Locust--A Letter
From Col. w. NJ. Grosvenor on the
Scourge of the West--Widespread But
Groundless Alarm--Facts About the In
sect.
To the Editor OF tho New York Tribune:
SIR: West of us there is some destruc-
ton and great panic. Over very wide
area farmers are alarmed, and in some
quarters are even abandoning their fields.
The " grasshoppers, " so-called, have APP
peared in Eastern Kansas and q few
counties on the western border of this
State, and, though young, are destroy
ing crops and gardens mercilessly.s Far
beyond the region in which the insect
has actually appeared, however, it is
feared that the young, moving eastward
and southwark as the mighty hosts did
last fall, will spread devastation over the
State. A little knowledge of the nature
of the insect would Danish these fears.
Some of the papers, instead of giving
the facts, have increased the alarm by
highly sensational articles. Even so
sensible a paper as the Chicago Tribune
gives most absurd account two columns
in length, prognosticating dire destruc-
ton to the gardens of Chicago and the
crops of Illinois.
No doubt you would like the facts.

Kansas, and Iowa, not to speak Of Hi

The other answered, every true,

But then, your lsdyship must own,
Unlike yourself, grow alone,

A single inch without support;
And 10 % fie y are fain 10 court

Kissing Cousins.

A young friend of mine has got
himself into difficulty. He went to
the depot several weeks ago to meet a
young cousin who was coming to pay
his family a visit, and seeing her, as
he supposed, alighting from q car, he
and kissed her Before discovering that
it wasn't she. Of course he made all
manner of apologies, but the young
lady blushed, and seemed to take it
SO good -naturedly, that he resolved
that if they were all as sweet as this
one it wouldn't be a bad thing to have
\ cousin coming every day. So, after
ward, every time a train came in he
was on hand looking for his cousin,
although she had come long ago. In
fact he made cousin hunting a busi-
ness, and by this means it is said he
kissed at least one hundred and thir-
ty six ladies in a great many less days
One day as the eastern train steamed
into the depot, our young man hung
around it, and as a dainty young fe-
male stepped upon the platform, he
rushed up, threw his arms around her
and gave her a hearty smack on her
veil-covered lips, accompanying the
action with the -exclamation: Why
cousin Carrie, how do you do?'
First rate" was the response. as
the cousin" raised her veil, and dis
closed the features of his neighbor,
Jimson's. colored chambermaid.
The spectators roared, and our
young friend skunk off thoroughly
mortified. He is done hunting for
cousins, but if he ever should kiss
another one you may rest assured he
will see that she wears no veil.-Sun-

A correspondent of the Indianapo
lis Journal, writing from Washington
under date of January 9, giving a sy-
nopsis of the debate in the Senate on
the Southern murderers, thus alludes
to Senator Morton:
''Indianians will readily believe
when tell them, as l do, that Sena-
tor Morton's last speech, On Friday,
was the most powerful, and command
ed the greatest attention, of any one
delivered. 1t brought the Democrats
to their feet, and, as man said to me,
they all got black eye;" not in a
physical but intellectual sense. His
nostrils expanded, his eyes dilated,
and his face was radiant with patriot
ic indignation, and his powerful ut
terances cheered and encouraged all
lovers of liberty, law. and justice. A
reporter, sitting at my side and seeing
my face said: "You are proud of your
Senator" and replied: Proud who
would not be? he is the noblest Roman
of all. See them squirm. 1t was
sight He turned from man to man,
responded to their questions, bore
them down with logic and facts, de-
Tended the Republican party and de-
manded all the facts, and said this
question could no longer be blinked.
Not having that speech before me, l
shall not attempt to give a synopsis OF
it. But quote few sentences from
his speech OF Thursday last:
Il am glad we have now come to
the point where the ten thousand lies
which have been Systematically sent
up from Louisiana, as an apology and
an excuse for the numerous murders
that have been committed there can
no longer blind the people and pre-
vent them from seeing the exact con-
dition of things Men who will
commit murder will commit perjury
and forgery and arson and every
minor crime for the purpose of cover
ing up their guilt. 1t has now
come to the maxim, to lie like an
agent of the Southern Associa ed
Press Talleyrand said, The
same lie never wins a second victory
What was the attempt in the
election of McEnery? An attempt to
overthrow by fraud majority of not
less than twenty thousand people.

void for fraud. McEnery was not
elected. Inc Senator lhur-
MANI attempts by his remarks to be-
little the crimes that have been com
mitted in Louisiana. Able as he is, he
is not able to do that Oh, he says,
some lives were lost down there
Yes, there were some lives lost
There have been as many murdered in
Louisiana Tor political causes in the
last six years as fall in most modern
wars. Men have been slaughtered by
the dozen, the score, the fifty and the
hundred; and yet this is belittled 1t
is attempted to be laughed and jeered
away by talking about the outrage

leans have run red with blood--the
blood of innocent men shed by men in
rebellion against the State govern
ment and men who are as hostile to
the government ofthe United States as
they are to the Kellogg, and who fight
one just as cheerfully as they fight the

subject until the people of this coun-
try shall see upon what brink they

Out 1T Night.

Fathers and mothers, look out for
your boys when the shadows of eve
ming have gathered around you.
Where are they then? Are they at
home, at the pleasant freside, or are
they running around the streets? Are
they gaining a street education? If
so, take care; the chances of ruin are
many, and there is scarcely anything
so destructive to their morals as run
ming abroad at night. Under the COW
er of darkness, they acquire the edu-
cation of crime; they learn to he row.
dyish, if not absolutely vicious; they
catch up loose talk, and hear sinful
thoughts, and they see obscene things.
and become reckless and riotous. If
you would save them from vulgarity,
and from ruin, see to it that night
finds them at home. More than one
young man has told the chaplin of the
State Prison that here was the begin
ming of his downward course that
finally brought him to the felon's cell.
Let parents solemnly ponder this
matter, and do all they can to make
home attractive that the boys will pre-
fer it to roaming the streets There
is no place like home for boys in the
evening.
