A new method of preserving
meat is to cause the heart of the
animal to pump boracic acid into
the tissues. For example, a sheep
is stunned by a blow, and blood
being withdrawn from the left
jugular vein, strong solution Of
boracic acid, kept at blood heat,
is injected. The heart of the
still living animal quickly pumps
the antiseptic fluid into all parts
Of the body, and the sheep is then
killed by the butcher in the usual
way. The cost IS slight, and the

Editors especially know how
heavily the task of letter writing
bears upon ones strength and
time. In earlier days, when the
etiquette of correspondence de-
manded a good deal of circumlo-
cution, the writing of a letter was
often a formidable task. The late
MIR. Willis, the poet, abridged this
task by enclosing in his hurry
graph letters the following print.
ed explanation of their brevity:
Men in this land Of never-let-up are
ever laden with labor in as many
different ways as there are vo-
cations BY which they get a liv-
ing; but to an editor the 'last
ounce which breaks the cameps
back is the writing of a private
letter. Not that his brain is
drugged beyond q sense of the
luxury of writing for one reader
only (for, on the contrary, the
value Of it is enhanced by the
rarity,) but he looks upon it as
the leg.weary postman looks upon
the luxury of an evening walk.
Now, here is your letter to an
swer. Either O cheerful and ap.
propriate letter to you or an ar
ticle for my paper would be agree
able; but both together would
dwindle the latter CT the two into
fat-footed pudding. In choosing
between these which to neglect,
you to see, of course, that it is a
choice between mindiug my busi-
nezs and writing to you ; and you
will forgive me, therefore, ifin the
least words possible | jot down
what must be said and trust to
this printed explanation to explain
my brevity.'

An engine on a Kansas railroad

An engine on a Kansas railroad
was left standing on the track
alone, the engineer supposing he
had shut off steam, when it sud-
denly started forward at a rapid
speed. Telegrams of warning
were sent to all the stations, and
one passenger train got out of the
way just in time. Finally the
runaway stopped, steam having
been exhausted, and no harm was
done.

heart and face alike, swung the
