a Now Process for Preserving Meat

Among the many processes pro-
posed for the preservation of meat, is
that which it requires that it be plac.
ed IN an atmosphere of compressed
air. The results obtained by this
process seem to fully Justify the
claims of Nj. Alfonso Reynose, the
patentee. As illustrating the gener-
al method pursued by the inventor,
and the character of the results OBJ
tanned, the following instance is
given:
A half carcass of lamb was hung
for several weeks in an atmosphere
of compressed air, and then taken
out and cut in quarters. One quar-
ter was submitted to connoisseurs,
who pronounced it excellent; the
other was exposed in a room merely
protected from flies by light mus
lin wrapper. 1t dried up, but retain
ed its natural color; and, when sub
sequently cooked was found to be
as sweet and agreeable to the taste
as the other portion that was eaten
while fresh. Should this process
proved to be in truth what is claim
ed for it, then is answered problem
which has commanded the attention
of inventors for years. The process
is simple one, and could be readily
adopted in the meat-producing count
rics.

Panic Among the Eggs.

The world is getting topsy-tur, j
generally. We are kept bcwildered
by the panorama of startling occur.
rences which is constantly passing
before us. There are salary grabs
and subsidy schemes, government
frauds and whisky rings; there are
Ralstons, Thomassons, Winslows and
a host of smaller fry Of rogues, keep
ing us on the gu vive as to what will
come next. Even the natural laws
of the universe, it is said, are getting
shaky - the world is getting top
heavy and we are slowly but surely
topping over. And now we see thai
the hens Of the honest Changers
farm yards have become infected by
the general unbalanced condition OF
things, and gone to laying prema
turely, and the unreasonable rushing
of their products upon the market is
causing panic among the dealers,
who, in the predicted cold winter,
thought they saw their opportunity,
and laid IN, accordingly, large stocks
of the commodity known by board
ing houses and restaurant keepers by
tt. e name of eggs. Their picked
frauds stand poor chance beside
the freshly laid eggs, and the conse-
quence is the dealers arr likely to
lose heavily On their investments.

The Jersey milking can is of tin,
globular, with a fiat bottom and Il
rim around it. The upper part of
the globe is open, and has a tlaring
top, which is about eight inches in
diameter at the edge. A handle like
a pitcher handle, is upon one side,
attached to this flaring top. When
in use, Il rather closely woven linen
napkin is tied over the top, and I'M
der the handle, so that it will sag
down into the can to a depth of three
inches or so. In this sag of the
strainer scashcll is laid-one Of the
shells of a scallop being usually en-
ployed. The streams of milk strike
into the shell, and the foam soon
rises and nearly fills the strainer;
specks of falling dirt mostly rest up
on the top of the foam. Those which
are carried down, wash over the edge
of the shell, and lie beneath it.
There is no scattering, and the milk
is obtained entirely free from hairs
and specks of dirt, while soluble dirt,
which sometimes falls in, comes as
little as possible in contact with the
milk.

Enamelled Ceilings.

A refreshment saloon in London
has been finished inside in such u
manner as to be readily washed out
with hose. The floor is paved, the
walls are of majolica, and the ceiling
is covered with cnamelled sheet iron.
When it is desired to clean the room.
the furniture is removed, the hose is
turned OH and the place Is simply
drenched and flooded till clean. The
ceiling is the novel feature of the
room. To prepare it, large pieces Of
sheet iron were coated white with
enamel in the usual manner, and
were then handsomely painted i'll
colors. After baking to secure the
colors, the sheets were affixed to the
beams of the floor overhead. The
Joints were made to ftright, and once
in place, the cnamclled plates will
last AS long as the building stands
This Style of ceiling is partially fire
proof, and saves all the expenses, re-
pairs, and dangers of latls and plas
ter. There is no patent on this system
of ceilings, and any enamelling firm
can make the sheets in plain colors,
clear white, or in patterns to fit any
retreshment'room, bath room, laundry,
dairy, or any other room where a
washable ceiling is desired.

A GentlemaE.

When you have found man, you
have not far to go to find n gentle
man. You cannot make 4 gold ring
out of brass. You cannot change
Cape May crystal to diamond.
You cannot make a gentleman till
you first find a man.
TO be a gentleman is not sufficient
to have had grandfather. TO be a
gentleman does not depend upon the
tailor or the toilet. Blood will de-
generate. Good clothes are not good
habits.
A gentleman is just a gentleman;
no more, no less; diamond polished
that was first n diamond in the rough.
a gentleman is gentle. A gentle
man is modest. A gentleman is
courteous. A gentleman is slow to
take offence, rs being one who new
er gives it. A gentleman is slow to
surmise evil, as being one who
never thinks it. \ gentleman sub
,jects his appetites. A gentleman re-
fines his taste. \ gentleman sub
dues his feelings. A gentleman con
trolls his speech. Agentleman deems
every other better than himself.
! Sir Philip Sidney was never 50
much Of u gentleman-mirror though
he was of English knlghthood-as
when, upon the field Of Zutphen, as
he lay in his own blood, he waived
the draught of cool spring water,
that was to quench his dying thirst,
in favor of Il dying soldier.
! St. Paul describes gentleman
when he cxhortcd the Philippian
Christians: "WhatSoever things
are true, whatsoever things are love
ly, whatsoever things are of good re-
port, if there be any virtue, and if
there be any praise, think of these
things" And Dr.. Isaac Barlow, in
his admirable sermon on the callings
of gentleman, pointedly says; Gle
should labor and study to be leader
unto virtue, and a notable promoter
thereof; directing and exciting men
thereto ny his exemplary CONVERSE
ton; encouraging them by his
countcnance and authority; reward
ing the goodness of meaner people
by his bounty and favor; he should
be such gentleman as Noah, who
preached righteousness by his words
and works before profane world"

The Goose Bono and the Weather.

The goosebone predictions are, per-
haps, more closely watched in Ken
lucky than anywhere else, and it may
be called the Kentucky weather pro
phet. In many parts of the State the
farmers consult it and prepare for
handling their crops in accordance
with its predictions. 1t is said that
there is a family in Woodtord county
that have fifty of these little prophets
carefully laid away, and declare that
not one of them made a mistake III
their predictions. Let us turn to
this years prophecy. We must take
the breast bone OF last springs
goose-nonc other will do, for the
prophecy does not extend beyond the
year in which the goose is hatched.
Thanks to friend we have such Il
bone. it must be divided into three
different parts, which represent the
three divisions of winter The breast
bone of Il goose is translucent, but at
places has cloudllke spots upon it
UeSc DlDlS uCllOlG Coiu Wctlilcl.
Looking at the bone before us we find
little cold weather about the LIST of
December, which we have realized,
and there is another blot beyond the
centre of the bone, denoting cold
weather about the middle of January;
this cloud we are passing now, and
SO far our little pTognosticator has
guided us right. We are to have
warmer weather after a few days, but
the. worst is to come. The darkest
blots are near the end of the bone,
and, if the prophecy fails not, winter
will verify the saying Of coming in
like lamb and going out like a roar
ing lion. Our coolest weather will
come after the middle Of February,
and our warmest fires will be requir-
ed for the parting days of winter and
the first days of spring. This is the
goose-bonc prophecy, and as we have
the word of a good old farmer that
it has not failed for fifty years, we
would advise the laying in of good
supply of coal and general prepare
tons to meet cold weather-for the
goose-bone has said it. and old winter
will be after young spring with a
great big lcicle.--Louisoallo Conn.
