The Paris AbattOIr.

The slaughter houses of Paris are To-
Gated at La Viilette, on the outskirts of
the city, and form, together with a
police station, telegraph office, barracks
for small force of troops stationed
there, and other buildings "a town ofvery
respectable size. The buildings, which
are of stone, were constructed in
the most thorough manner by the city
under government authority. The
premises are inclosed by high stone
wall, and the grounds are divided into
regular rectangles by four avenues, in
tersected by four streets.
Through each building runs series
of cours, covered with glass ceiling,
and in these cours the slaughtering is
done, the animals being dressed on
wooden frames placed at regular inter-
walls on each side of the cour. A pc
culiar feature of the business is that of
blowing up the carcass as soon as the
head and legs are cut off, which the
Commercial Bulletin describes as fol-
lows: The body being placed on the
dressing frame, an incision is made in
the breast near the neck, and the noz-
eel of bellows inserted. A man then
works the bellows for about fifteen
minutes, until the whole carcass is
swollen out like a small balloon. The
reasons given for this are that it makes
the meat look better, more plump than
it otherwise would, and that it enables
the one who skins the carcass to get
the hide off quicker and easier, with
out injuring it. All bullocks, calves,
sheep, etc., slaughtered in these estab-
lishments are blown up in this manner.
Pig butte hery in Paris is conducted on
a novel plan. The pigs are taken into a
large round house. having q cupOla in
the roof to let off the smoke, the floor
being divided into triangular dens. A
dozen or so of pigs are driven into each
den at time, and butcher passes along
and strikes each one on the head with
mallet.
After being bled, the defunct porkers
are carried to the side of the room and
arranged methodically in q row. They
are then covered with straw, which is
set on fire and the short bristles quickly
| burned off. After a thorough scorching
the pigs are carried into the dressing
room, hung up on hooks, and scraped
| by means of sort OF drawing knife,
handled by skillful operator, who per-
forms his work at the rate of about one
pig minute. Then the bodies are
washed and the entrails taken out and
| cleaned.
Every part of the animal is utilized in
Paris, and that which the American
throws away as worthless is made tC
subserve some use in the Frenchman's
economy. The pigs blood is used in
the manufacture of the large black sau'
sages which meet with such extensive
sale in Paris. The long bristles are
pulled out by hand and go to the brush
maker.

A Dinner i'm Toxic.

Very strange dishes came upon the
board at our dinner at the hotel in
Toxic. A preliminary pipe of mild
tobacco was handed around. The
tobacco was too mild an affair alto
gether to take the edge Oft ones appe-
ute, if intended for that purpose. The
first course consisted Of sweetmeats
served upon lacquered plates. The
whole meal, was of Frenchified charac-
ter. Balls of golden. scarlet, and green
iellies were among the things in this
dish; rice, flour, and sugar made up
the constituents of the other parts of it.
Saki (rice spiri) and the ever-present
tea were then served round. The second
course consisted of soup, into which
were shredded hard boiled eggs. This
was served in bowls, but without spoons.

strange dish; it was collop cut from a

The Culture of the Rose.

Every rose will not come from the
slip. Of the three great divisions into
which the rose family is separated, viz,
the damask, the noisette and the tea, the
last two may be propagated with more
or less readiness from the slip, or by
budding; the first only by dividing the
roots, and planting the seed, which lat
ter method is resorted to, however, only
when it is desired to obtain new varie-
ties.
The best season for taking rose slips
is in June, just after the proiuse bloom
OF early summer is over, although per-
son who knows exactly how to cut q
slip may find good cuttings throughout
the warm months. Judgment and dis
cernment are needed for the selection at
all seasons. l know generous lady
who sent her friends immense armfuls
of boughs, with hardly a real cutting
| upon them.
One should choose from good vigor-
Gus branch of last years growth fresh
shoot, containing two or three buds,
such as will always be found more OF
| less swollen at the base OF the leaf stems.
1t should be cut from the parent branch
diagonally, with a smooth, clean cut
that will bring off a little of the old bark
as well, in order to make the condition
as favorable as possible for the formation
of roots.
Have ready box or pot of rich mold.
With round, pointed stick, make
hole several inches deep, and fill it up
with clean sand; insert the end of the
slip in this sand to the depth OF one or
two inches; be sure to make it firm in
the sell, and the-sand acting as perco-
lator for moisture, you may keep youi
slip we'll watered. You can soon see, by
the swelling of the buds and the drop :
ping off of the old leaves, whether the
Slip is indeed taking root, but do not at
tempt to remove it to the place where
you would wish it permanently to re-
main, until it has put out several sets OF
new leaves.
An ingenious way to raise set ofslips
has been recommended by Mrs. Loudon
which we have tried with unvaryine
success. 1t is to take an earthenwart
flower pot, gallon-size, and fill it more
than half full of broken potshreds, peb
bles, bits of slate or such things; now
set in the middle, on top of these re
fuse materials, another similar flower
pot, half-pint size, with the hole at it
bottom stopped up tightly with a corl
let it's mouth be even with that of th
large, outer one-fill up the interstice
, with silver sand or other pure sand
and set in row of slips all around, Gu
according to the directions given above
, Keep the inner pot full of water all tn
! time, but do not water the slips directly
' In about six weeks your slips will hav
fine roots, and can be potted. A hand
= glass always hastens the process of root
: ing, and enables you to take advantag
!, of the sunshine, but if you are not pro
1 vided with one, be careful to keep you
plants in the shade until they show Gel
tain signs of independence of life.

Butch Compliments.

You would never meet peasant or
village girl upon the road without hav-
ing a cheerful good day from them,
would not only say "Goedsn " dag" in the
singular, but they would give you a
complex and plural greeting: Dag
drie," if you were three; Dag vier," il
you were four; that is to say Good
day to the three of you;" good day to
the four of you," and dag zamen, -
which means good day together" II
there were but two. Sometimes a
roguish boy (there are such in every
country will salute a traveller who is
going along with donkey or dog with
his "Dag zamen," but we must not
grudge people their harmless joke, and
this one is too inoffensive TO vex any
body.-Heart of Holland.

The Predicted Fate of the Earth.

The Apostle Peter, in his second
epistle, announced the approach of the
time when "the heavens shall pass
away with a great noise, and the ele-
ments shall melt with fervent heat {;
the earth also, and the works that are
therein shall be burned up" What
has modern science to say to the pos
sibility of catastrophe such as that
shadowed forth in a comparatively
unscientific age. eighteen centuries
agoP Mr.. r. A. Proctor, writing in his
latest volume, "The Flowers of the
Sky" remarks: =" 1t is no longer q
mere fancy that each star is a sun
science has made this an assured fact,
which no astronomer thinks of doubt
ing: We know tnat in certain general
respects each star resembles the sun.
Each is glowing like our sun with an
intense heat. We know that in each
star processes resembling in violence
those taking place in our own sun
must be continually in progress, and
that such processes must be accom-
panied by q noise and tumult. COM
pared with which all the forms of up
roar known upon our earth are as alb
solute silence. The crash of thunder
bolt, the believing of the volcano, the
awful groaning of the earthquake, the
roar of the hurricane. the reverberating
peals of loudest thunder, any of these,
and all combined, are as nothing COM
pared with the tumult raging over
every square mile, every square yard,
of the surface of each one among the
stars"
He proceeds to describe, with con-
siderable circumstantiality, two ap-
pearances witnessed in the heavens
within the last few years-in 1866,
when the tenth magnitude star (that
is, four magnitudes below the lowest
limit of the naked eye vision) in the
constellation of the Northern crowns
suddenly shone as second magnitude
star, afterward rapidly diminishing in
luster, and in 1876, when new star be-
came visible in constellation CygHus,
subsequently fading again so as to be
only perceptible by means of tele-
scope.
After noting the conclusions deduced
from the application of the most ap.
proved instruments to these obser-
vations, Mr.. Proctor remarks: A
change in our own sun, such as af-
fected the star in Cygnus, or that other
star in the Northern crown, would I'M
questionably destroy every living
creature on the face of this earth; nor
could any even escape which may exist
on the other planets of the solar sys-
tenn. The star in the Northern crown
shone out with more than eight hun.
dred times its former luster; the star
in Cygnus with from five hundred to
many thousend times its former luster
according as we take the highest pos.
sible estimate of its brightness before
! the catastrophe, or consider that it may
have been very much brighter. Now i
our sun was to increase tenfold il
brightness, ali the higher forms o
animal life, and nearly all vegetabl,
life, would inevitably &c destroyed o,
this earth. A few stubborn animal
cuies might survive, and possibly n few

The Cars Grandson,

Mrs. Lucy Hooper in one of her Paris
letters says: Sometimes one hears lit
tie things sbout the Gar of Russia
which makes one inclined to pardon
Nihilism and to comprehend the dyna
mite plots. The other day l went to
visit a very charming old lady, who is
an American, and who has lived for
many years in Europe. Whilst turn
ing over the pages of her photograph
album, l came across the portrait OF a
child, boy of some six or eight years
of age, so singularly beautiful that my
attention was at once interested. The
little fellow was dressed in Knicker-
booker suit of black velvet, with his
fair hair cut Holbein- wise over his
| brow, and lovlier or nobler image OF
healthful boyhood never gladdened a
parents heart. On my making some
exclamation of admiration, my friend
produced several other photographs oi
the same child, remarking at the same
time that the picture. so far from ex-
aggerating his beauty, hardly did. il
justice. She then told of her meeting
with the boy and his mother in Swift
zerland.
The child was the son OF the GranC
Duke Alexis of Russia, the mother be
ing his secretly-wedded wife. By com
mand of the czar the husband and wifi
were separated, and the latter wa
forced, not only to consent to divorce
but to marry another man. "Hoy
could you consentP" asked my frien
when the unhappy lady related he
story. The eyes of the speaker file
with tears and her lips quivered. :"

and then she said no more, being ev
dentiy still not wholly freed from th
tolls of the giant spider of the North,
as Whittier once called the czar in or
OF his fervent lyrics on freedom.
