All the ancient civilized nations. and
many OF the barb&rOus ones, understood
the art Of making butter in crude way.
The ancient German was noted for making
the article. The Ethiopians used it a.
food, although they are now said to Use it
for plastering their hair. Hippocrates p
states that the Greek thought the Thraciaus
curious and wonderful people because they
ate butter. HerOdOtus, dcscribin. the

milk of their mares into wOo.len V, sscls,

The danger that attaches to the eating Of
fresh pork, insutiiciently cooked, appears to
he greater than the majority OF people
imagine The trichine that infect this
meat are SO minnie as 10 escape in-p- ton,
however rigid, unless the microscoIr /.
brought into Use. On Saturday night Mr..
-. Brown, druggist at the corner Of Sew
enth street and Chouteau avenue, purchased
several pounds OF pork, at Centre market
Icing an adept with the microscope and
having paid some attention to the trichina
question, he concluded To make micro
scopic examination of his purchase. 1t
was a very fortunate conclusion OF his, for
the meat, though presenting 10 the unsided
eve the ordinary appearance, was found TO
be literally alive with triching. Samples
OF the meat were sent Yesterday to DIR.
Auler, the coroner, who is given to micro
scopic studies, and 10 the health commits
sioner, for examination.
DIR. Auler, during the afternoon, pre-
pared sample Of the meat, for inspection,
and by placing it under the microscope,
was able 10 confirm the statements of Mr..
Brown. In the minute space within the
radius OF the glass were counted fifteen OF
the spirals, all well defined. How general
was the distribution of this meat. by its
sale in the market, there are no means of
ascertaining, but the presumption i rea-
sonable that it went into a score OF families
and was consumed Yesterday by all, except
ing the case brought to notice. The coro-
ner, in conversation relative to the mat
ter, said there was no doubt that considera-
bic OF the meat sold was affected with
trichinn spiralis, and that in his opinion
the only way 10 prevent its being used for
human food was to adopt system OF meat
inspection that should be most rigid. The
symptoms following the eating or affected
meat were similar 10 those of typhoid fe-
Yer, and as many physicians had made lit
tie or no examination OF the trichinse ques-
ton, and were not prepared to recognize
the presence OF til, dread disorder, it was
the opinion OF tn eoTo ner that the trichinc
cut into the ranks OF tie meat eaters deeper
than would he shown by the mortality

How 10 Select q Good Horse.
prairie Farmer, ISL

"Wind,' says an old horseman. 'is tn,
grand secret of fast horse. Good lungs
will cover a multitude of faults; while on
the other hand, perfection OF shape and
form are useless when the wind is out The
chest, therefore, in all cases, should be
large and capacious. In shape it may vary
somewhat, according to the service to
which the horse is to be put. II he is apt
to be kept for slow work and heavy draw
ing, the chest may be nearly circular in
form, because this shape is out for strength
and bulk, to receive and bear up against
the pressure of the collar, while, at the
same time, sufficient room is secured for
that expansion of the lungs caused by slow
regular work. But if the chest is circular,
let it be at the same time deep, or else the
lungs mny be cramped. A horse with a
shallow chest is worthless for any purpose
The rule is this: For a draught horse, a
circular but deep chest; but, as you pas
through the different degrees of speed up
10 the racer and trotter, the chest will in
crease in depth, compared to its roundness,
until, for the highest rate Of speed, YOU
must take chest As deep as greyhound

CHERRIES,

OF the success of the cherry in this
country there is no donbt; the main thing
is the selection. 1 find but few trees bear
ing, from the fact that they are mostly
sprouts that are being planted instead OF
tress grated from bearing stock. The cher
~ can be grown with less care than almost
any other fruit Those grated from the
Mahaleb are the most vigorous and per-
fectly free from sprouts. They should be
low-headed. The Early Richmond and
May Duke are the best early, and the Gov
ernor Wood, Bigarreau, Eaton and Late
Richmond are the best late varieties. The
cherry requires a dry soil.

DEATH OF MEuEnEr ALI PAsHA.

LONDON, Sept. H. Later advices
from Constantinople give further de-
tails of the circumstances attending the
death of Mehemet Ali Pasha. 1t seems
that at Ginsey, PLAYA and Kalas, before
the arrival of Mehemet Ali, complete
anarchy had gained the upper hand,
and upon his arrival in Jakava he
found the greatest excitement prevail
ing among The Inhabitants. He was
violently upbraidcl with having come
to Albania to hand over the land to
the Servians. The agitation went on
increasing, 8ndfng vent especially in
vehement abuse of Abdulla Pasha,
Mehemet Ali's adjutant. The house
selected by Mehemet Ali for his lodging
was set ON fire by the Albanians of
Jakava and Ipek. Then a fight began
between the incendiaries and NIehe1net
Ali's escort, in which twenty men OF
the latter fell. Towards evening the
conflict was appeased, the insurgents
promising to observe q peaceable atti-
tude. About O'Clock In the evening,
however, in Jakava, where Mehemet
Ali still remained, the struggle broke
out afresh; resulting in the death of
Abtlulla Pasha with several officers of
the escort, and the house in which they
took refuge was fired. Mehemet Ali
succeeded in escaping from tho burning
building and concealing himself in a
shed close by, but his hiding place was
soon discovered, and he was mercilessly
put to death. The Albanian league is
said to number Al, 900 we'll armed and
equipped men determined to resist the
occupation of their territory by any
Christian power. There is much talk
OF Servia and Montenegro cooperating
with Austria. 1t is thought possible
at Vienna that anarchy in Albania
may compel Austria to occupy that
province also.
