GREASE FROM SEWAGE.

The enormous amount of grease aud
fat discharged from the London sewers
has led to the establishment of curious
industry which afforded the basis of a
recent sensational story about the manu-
facture of artificial butter from Thames
sewage. At high tide boats are sta
toned at the mouths of the sewers and
the grease and refuse floating on the top
of the water is SKINNED off; this is sub
sequently boiled down, partially purified,
and used in the manufacture of inferior
soap and candles. It would cost too
much to remove all the odor and refine
it sufficiently for use in artificial butter,
and hence there was an unnecessary
alarm in the butter market.

MEAT FOR INYALIDS.

The following method of rendering
raw meat palataDle to invalids is given in
the Iaadustrie Bldetter.: To 81 ounces
raw meat from the loin add &c ounces
shelled sweetalmonds, 1T ounces shelled
bitter almonds, and 2.8 ounces white
sugar-these to be beaten together in o
marble mortar to uniform pulp, and
the fbers separated by a strainer. The
pulp, which has a rosy hue and very
agreeable taste, does not at all remind
one of meat, and may be kept fresh for
considerable time, even in the summer,
in dry, cool place. Yelk of egg may
be added to it. From this pulp, or di-
rectly from the above substances, an
emulsion may be prepared which will be
rendered still more nutritious by adding
milk. Lailler prefers 35 ounces dried
raw meat, Ia ounces sugar, Z ounce
wine, and 1 ounce tincture of cinnamon.

THE DECLINE OF SAVAGE R5CE,

THE DECLINE OF SAVAGE Races.
Nlrchow, in an address upon the pres
ent position of anthropology, makes a
few very lustsObservations upon the sub
lect of the decline of savage races in the
presence of civilized man. Thus he re-
marks that we must'Eot, in the case of an
entirely isolated people, judge of their
capacity for culture from the signs of it
which exist. The extinction of uncult-
ured races, he thinks, is rather to be
ascribed to the righteousness of Euro
peans, and to their incapacity to educate
savages. There is no evidence that TN
civilized races must become extinct
deed, the contrary is proved by the his
tory of Europeans themselves. If tie
civilized people of the present day are
the product of higher development, We
cannot regard the possibility of such a
development as cause of the extinction
OF races in the same stage of culture once
occupied by ourselves. Popular Sci

TILE SUN GRADUALLY FiDING

All the planets and satellites have be-
come crusted over, and have ceased al
most entirely to radiate heat. But the
sun, the great central body, the one
which should last of all become cold. is
still in active combustion or chemical
combination. Immense quantities of
light and heat are still radiating from its
surface-so immense that the little frac-
ton which our Garth catches as it flies
through space gives us all the motion,
and life, and beauty which we enjoy.
But the sun is not even now the glowing
CRIB that once it was, as the rock-records
OF our globe testify. Its bright radiance
is slowly but surely fading. Those huge.
black lncrustations, often twice as large
as the whole surface of the earth. that
float awhile on its philosophers, and then
are suddenly broken up-they were not
always there. And, if they have grown
upon it, the uncomfortable conviction
arises that they will continue to grow
and darken more and more it's life-giving
face. Old age is certainly being written
on the solar brow, It may be millions

the place perfectly empty.
"Saying this, our nocturnal visitor
produced an ak from under his coat, and,
pushing my mother out of the way, pro-
ceeded toward the study, where the
money was kept. My mother resolved
at all events to keep him in the kitchen
until the workmen from the saw-mill
came up, SO she cried, Don't hurry
yourself. Herr Robber /; my husband is
in the dining room-I will call him ;
and she, being a strong woman, caught
the thief by his arm, while she cried,

my voice trying to make it such a manly

&c The robber sank to his knees, and
my mother looked as much astonished as
he did. I could hardly help laughing ;
but I managed to say, in still deeper
voice, Il come, Brita, I come wait
till I get my pistols, and then ratified
at the door, while the robber stood if
resolute.
"I don't know how the matter would
have ended had not Greta arrived with
the saw-min men. The robber, on see
ing them, sprang to the threshold, which
he cleared at a bound, and was lost in
the darkness. My poor mother dropped
half-fainting on a chair, but we had nc
time to attend to her. Greta was ex-
hausted with hard running, SO I had to
light lanterns for the men, and then
maraged to slip out after them when they
went to search for the thief

IN suit for divorce from Judge 0. G..
Pratt, tried in 1874, now sues his former
client for 500, 900, which he claims to be

the lawyer claimed that his services were
worth $780, but Mrs. Pratt thought
81 900 was enough, and hence the suit.

4 Bird Storm.

Mrs. Wren was tired of staying at
home SO steadily, and really there
seemed no need of it; for now that the
baby birds pin-feathers were all pricked
through they cried very little, and took
very long maps. So one bright morning,
after they were all chirped to sleep, she
flew up on the roof where Mr.. Wren,
their papa, sat idly summing himself.
"Could he take care of the babies -
" Oh, yes" he said, when she asked him
about it, ''but he was afraid his dear
wife would get too tired, it was very
warm, and here Mrs. Wren cut him
short by saying cit would do her good !;
she felt better already" and then before
Mr.. Wren had time to think she was
gone, leaving him alone with the babies.
What if they should wake up? The
very thought sent the cold chills over
him. He flew down and peeped into
the nest they were all sound asleep,
and SO, taking courage, he flew back to
his perch on the roof.
"Of course he could take care of
them-it was no trouble at ALL and so,
smoothing his rrff1ed feathers, he began
to practice the new trill he was learning.
When about half through he heard a
faint "peepl peep! from the brides.
"What should he do?"
Down he few, and began to twitter
softly, just the way he had seen Mrs.
Wren do hundred times, but it was of
no use the more he twittered the louder
they peeped, until, out of patience, he
flew back to the roof, and began to scold
loudly.
1t was just then that little Charley
came running into the waiting-room of
the railway station, where mamma, little
jeanne and [ were sitting, and begged
us to come out and hear the bird sing.
cts nest must be very near" said
papa, as he showed us where Mr.. Wren
sat.
"How it scolds. Poor thing. It is
afraid of us, answered mamma.
But where could the nest be? Pres
emily little Jeanie's bright eyes spied
two or three horse-hairs hanging out of
knot-hole just over the depot window;
and, sure enough, that was the place, for
soon we heard soft whir, and there was
Mrs. Wren. In a moment more she dis
appeared through the tiny door into her
dwelling, and then we heard her softly
hushing the little ones to sleep again.
And Mr.. Wren, after two or three
rounds of scolding, in which 1 suppose
he told Mrs. Wren just what he thought
OF her staying SO long, gave his wings an
impatient shake, and went flying away
toward the woods.
There was just time for hearty laugh
over the poor fellows trials before the
cars came whizzing along, and we climbed
on board, thinking this a fit ending to

Mr. and Mrs. Discobbo.os
Climbed to the top of wall.
And they sat to watch the sunset sky,
And to hear the Nupiter Piffkin cry,
And the Biscuit Buffalo call.
They took up a roll and camomile tea,
And both happy happ. could be,
Till Mrs. Discobbolos said,
"Ohi W. XII VIZ!
1t has just come into my head
Suppose we should happen to fall III!
Darling Mr.. Discobbolosi
"Suppose should fall down fumpetty,
just like pieces of stonei
On to the thorns, into the moat!
What would become of your green coat
And might you not break bone?
1t never occurred to me before,
That perhaps we shall never go down any more! ~
And Mrs. Discobbolos said,
"Oh! W! X!YIzI
What put it into your head
To climb up this all-my own
Darling Mr.. Disoobbolos 2"
Mr.. Discobbolos answered,
"At first it gave me pain,
And 1 felt my ears turn perfectly pink
When your exclamation made me think
We might never get down again;
But now believe it is wiser far
To remain forever just where We are"
And Mr.. Discobbolos said,
.sOhI WI Y! VI q!

We shall never go down again,

So Mr.. and Mrs. Discobbolos
Stood up, and began to sing:
ssFar away from hurry and strife,
Here will pass the rest of life,
Ding dong, ding dong, ding!
We want no knives nor forks chairs,
No tables nor carpets nor household cares;
From worry of life we've fed.
