Self.SaIting Beef.

A new process of preserving meat has
been introduced in England, in which,
instead of sleeping the carcass in an
antiseptic, the preservative chemical,
boracic acid is introduced into the live
animal, and by the action of the heart is
sent through the blood vessels and
capillaries into every part of the body.
The animal is first stunned, whereupon
the left jugular vein is laid bare and the
fluid injected, after which it takes about
two minutes for it to go through the
whole vascular system. Meat treated
in this way can be preserved at ordinary
summer temperature for five or six
weeks.

have it large and liberal, must come in

The SUMS Eclipae.

Advices from soham, Upper Egypt, state that
the eclipse of the sun was successfully observed
at that place May II, by the English, French
and Italian astronomers. A fine comet was
discovered close to the sun. Its position was
determined by photography. The spectroscopic
and ocular observations just before and after
the period Of totality gave most valuable re-
results. The darkening Of the lines observed
by the French astronomers indicated lunar
atmosphere. The spectrum of corona was suo-
cessfully photographed for the first time.

Victim of a Practical joke.

| London Teegrapn
Another victim to the reprehensible
practice of practical joking has PAID
for his credulity with his life. The
other day, as the French bark Felix
was approaching the port of Marseilies
under easy sail, negro belonging to
the crew suddenly clambered upon the
bulwarks and plunged into the sea-
Although the vessel was promptly hove
to and a boat put out in search of the
unfortunate man, who was known to
be a powerful swimmer, all efforts
made to rescue him from a watery
grave proved fruitless. Inquiry among
the crew respecting the probable mo-
tives of his suicide resulted in the fol-
lowing painful revelation. He had
shipped in the Felix at Mozambique,

human flesh of the negro variety, is so
highly relished as dietetic luxury by

that he could not fail, upon arriving at

Their plot proved only too successful.
The conviction that he was destined to

his spirits and prayed upon his mind
to such an extent that he at last re-
solved to die by his own act rather
than encounter the dismal fate await

it appears, he made known to the au-
thors of the hoax; but these inveterate
humorists, nevertheless, kept up their
jest until the Felix sighted Marseilles,
when the wretched negro, believing
himsely irrevOcably doomed to suffer
death by the butchers knife within
few hours, drowned himself in the

Napkins, Eggs and Finger Bowls.
Laramie boomerang.

| Laramie Boomerang.
1t had been stated, and very truly
too, that the law of the napkin is but
vaguely understood. 1t may be said
however, on the start, custom and
good breeding have uttered the decree
that it is poor taste to put the napkin
in the pocket and carry it away.
The rule of etiquette is becoming
more and more thoroughly established,
that the napkin should be left at the
house of the host or hostess after
dinner.
There has been a good deal of dis
cusSion also upon the matter of folding
the napkin after dinner, and whether
it should be so disposed of or negli-
gently tossed into the gravy boat. If,
however, il can be folded easily. and
without attracting too much attention
and prolOnging the session for several
hours, it should also be so arranged
and placed beside the plate, where it
may be easily found by the hostess and
returned to her neighbor from whom
she borrowed it for the occasion. If.
however, the lady of the house is not
doing her own work, the napkin may
be carefully jammed into a globular
wad and fired under the table, to con-
vey the idea Of utter recklessness and
pampered abandon.
The use of the finger bowl is also a
subject of much importance TO the
bon ton guest who gorges himself at
the expense of his friends.
The custom OF drinking out of the
fiuger bowl, though not entirely obso-
lete, has been limited TO the extent
that good breeding does not now per-
NIT the guest to quaff the water from
his finger bowl unless he does so prior
to using it as finger bowl.
Thus it will be seen that the social
customs are slowly but surely cutting
down and circHmscribing the rights
and privileges of the masses.
at the court of Eugene the customs
of the table were very rigid, and the
most prominent guest of her royal
highness was liable to get the G. B. if
ne spread bis n.nkin on his lap and
cut his egg in sswo witt a carving !;
knife. The custom was that TIE nap
kin should be hung on one knee and
the egg burst at the big end and
scooped out with spoon.
A prominent American at her table
one day in an unguarded moment shat
tered the shell of a soft-boiled egg
with his knife, and while prying it
apart both thumbs were enormously
damned into the true inwardness of
the fruit with so much momentum
that the juice took him in the eye,
thus binding him and madening him
to such a degree that he got up and
threw the remains into the bosom Of
the hired man plenipotentiary who
stood near the table scratching his ear
with the tray. AS may readily be
supposed, there was painful interim,
during which it was hard to tell for
five or six minutes whether the promi-
nent American or the hired man would
come out on top; but at last the Amer
lean with egg in his eye got the ear of
the high-priced hired man in among
his back teeth and the honor of our
beloved flag was indicated.
