LLEBIG'S EXTRACT OF MEA 7

Baron Won Liebig, Germany's great
chemist, ascertained that the soluble
constituents OF "a pounds of pure mus.
Gle meat equal to 45 pounds of ordi.
nary meat as 1t is received from the
butcher may be concentrated by boil.
ing to pound of extract, sufficient for
the preparation of 1870 parts OF bouillon
With his keen perception he foresaw
that the manufacture OF this extract
might become great industry. lie
conceived the Idea that the transma.
rine countries rich in cattle might be.
come tributary to the necessities Of
Europe.
In the year 1850, at the beginning
of the manufacture, the Royal Apothe.
cary at Munich consumed scarcely one
hundred weight annually, that is, one.
tenth part Of an OK, and Liebig himself
did not imagine that in score of years
the number of cattle falling victims to
this industry would number millions.
This statement will not appear exag-
gerated when it is considered that in
the Summer season there are led daily
to the slaughtering bench from one
thousand to twelve hundred oxen.
The mandatory Of Liebig's Extract
of Meat Company lies on the eastern
(left) shore of the Uruguay River in
that State, and is as important to Fray
Bentos as Krupps great steel manu-.
factory Is to Essen.
Proceeding systematically, we should
consider first the immense pasturing
lands upon which the cattle peacefully
Craze. These cattle are children of the
Pampas, descendants of the European
cattle introduced by the Spanish con.
querors. The large level pastures
were especially suited to them, and
here they increased greatly and now
rove in innumerable herds.
For the manufacture of the extract
the best pieces OF meat are selected, for
the simple reason that these pieces are
the most profitable for the extract.
When the animals are driven in from
the Pampas to Fray Bentos they are
kept for week upon tho pasturing
places mentioned, where they are por.
mitted TO rest and feed. Then they
are driven to the corrals, great inclos.
ures capable ofoontaining FIVE thousand
oxen from here men mounted on
horseback, swinging their lassos, drive
the cattle by degrees into other smaller
corrals, until finally the way is so mar.
Tow that the animals can only proceed
one behind the other. A man stands
at the side upon a staging with a short
knife. With unerring certainty he
strikes the animal close behind the
horns into the spinal marrow. As II
struck by lightning the animal falls
dead upon q platform which rests upon
wheels, The body rolls upon o track
to the slaughter house, where with
almost incredible celebrity it Is skinned
and cut in pieces by skilled and prac.

DO TEACHERS WORK.

Among tne popular mnacies wnlcn
are gaining prominence at the present
day, is one which concerns every
teacher. We refer to the pernicious
idea that the teachers profession is
but an easy calling, to which one re.
sorts when all other honorable profes-
sions fail, and in which a person gen.
teelly reposcs until something turns
up"
If one agree that continued mental
labor is more exhaustive than continu.
ed manual labor, he must acknowl.
edge that forty.five hours a week,
spent in digging in the mines of the
brain, is more wearisome than the
same amount of work performed by
the hands delving among mines of coal,
silver, or gold. 1t follows that there
are few instructors who can teach on
until their years are drawing to
close, and that some who fall out of
the ranks are those who 90 to Join the
marrying throng-many there are
who rear out, who die on the field of
action, just as bravely striving as the
soldier in battle We know not a few
teachers who daily furnish the world
with its best examples of earnest,
patient labor.
If the world at large could realize
what the teachers work is; that they,
more than persons of any other pro-
fession, are one Of the most powerful
formative influences that America has,
it would no more complain-it would
see its own Incidence, its own care.
lessness in allowing men and women
to occupy the position Of public in
structors who are incompetent who
are lazy.

PRIZES IN SCHOOL.

Is it best to offer prizes in schools 2
We know it has its advantages it acts
as mental stimulus, and rouses the
Tagging interest Of few oil will not
strive for the prize, and when one out
of the hard workers comes off victori-
Gus, there is always pain and sorrow
left for the unsuccessful competitors.
Besides, the teacher and parents never
agree as to the rightful distribution of
prizes. To be sure, in certain class
prizes, in prizes for attendance and de-
pertinent, the teacher ought TO be the
best and truest judge. In prizes for
declamations, orations and essays, the
judges and audience never agree, con-
sequently, after they are awarded
there is much talk, and disappointed
prize. seekers are made to feel that they
have been unjustly dealt with. Some
one remarks, "you ought TO have had
one Of the prizes, You did ever 40 much
better than the one who did get It,"
Again, pupils in their zeal TO obtain
one of the prizes are tempted TO de-
ceive to peek into books, and do
many unfair things. We knew a young
lady once, whose compositions had
been so uniformly excellent through
out the time of attendance that she
was appointed 20 compete for the prize
offered for best composition at close
OF school. She received the second
prize and carried il home. After few
months, somebody discovered that she
had stolen her composition entire, as
she had probably been in the habit of
doing Her case was reported TO the
professor, who swooped down upon
her and caused her TO give up her
prize. She was a clergyman's daugh.
ter too, and bad received careful train
ing. But the ambition TO be smart
caused her 10 suffer lifelong mortif-
cation. We do not believe in prizes
ourselves. Some children never will
be scholars. Prizes, love of parents
or teachers will never stimulate them
to love Of study. Many excellent
teachers never offer prizes. Tbey rouse
the children's ambition by fidelity, pa.
tience and love. We do not expect
our opinion TO have weight with all,
but we express it, hoping II may in
duce some earnest worker TO look care
fully into the matter and manner Of
giving prizes. Fortunate, in our opin-
ion, is the school whose teacher can
keep her pupils, interest the whole
school year without prize dangling
nj the end.
