THE MEAT We EATl

On Tuesday, in company with
Mr.. Frank Spencer, Mr.. G. w. Ash
ford and representative of the
Saturday Press we visited the
slaughter yards of Honolulu.
The first was known as the Ger
man yard, and here we saw thirty
six head of cattle in small enclos-
ure with no covering to protect them
from the sun, wind or rain. They
were standing in deep mud, they
had two iron troughs, filled with
green water, to drink from, and
there was no appearance of food
having been given to them. One
animal was lame, and all were sunken
under the hips, the space being large
enough to receive any one of our,
heads. There was nobody near the
place SO that we could ascertain no
particulars as to the length of time
they had remained penned up, or
how often they were fed or if they
ever received fresh water to drink.
Close by were the yards of Mr..
McCandless. In one small covered
pen were eleven cattle with no signs
of food and tub partly filled with
water. The slaughter house was
dirty and contained two buckets, a
shovel, an axe, a basket and some
dirt. In an empty sheep pen there
was a little hay, and, in another
pen there were over thirty sheep,
''gaunt as greyhound" as de-
scribed by one Of the party, with a
little grass for them to eat. Out
side these buildings were bones,
horns, pigs, refuse, manure, mud
and dirt. all of which combined
made a perfume. which excels the
far-famed city of Cologne. These
buildings were the best that we saw.
We then drove further from town,
and, being joined by DIR. Hagan,
inspected the establishment of Mr..
Waller. Here we saw thirty bull,
locks in an uncovered yard, about
35 by 60 feet, wading through the
mud; the next enclosure of liquid
mud was empty, and then, in a
covered enclosure, were fifteen cows
and calves. One animal was dis
eased in both eyes. There were two
troughs of liquid mud from which
they might drink, and, outside the
enclosures, was some dry Hilo grass.
We were fortunate here in seeing
the meat being prepared for the
market. The floor of the butchers
room was very dirty; on it were the
carcasses of two sheep, lying on
their skins; some carcasses were
hanging a~"inst dirty wall, and
the bullocks' hearts and sleeps
liyers', when cut out, were dipped
into tub OF water and thrown on
to the floor. Mr.. Waller Told us
that he received forty-fiye head OF
cattle every ten days. At this rate,

No Use.

A citizen of Brooklyn who had been
run down by bill collector, used some
pretty plain language, and wound up
with:
ut is lucky for you, sir, that duelling
is not permitted in this country"
would you challenge me?"
Certainly l would"
"Oh, well, 1t wouldn't be of any use
to do that" was the calm reply. "You
couldn't get credit anywhere within
fifty miles of Brooklyn for enough
powder to kill me with" - Wall

A physician writes in the World Of
Science some very interesting things

habit of drinking strong tea or black
coffee directly after dinner is especial

gestion. At breakfast time healthy
man has all his sleep in him, and sure

fict upon his system strong tea or cof-
fee. At tea time tea or coffee may well
be INDUCED in moderately. The bulk
of the days work is done; the body not
only wants rinsing out, but fatigue is
felt, which may well be counteracted
by the use of mild stimulant such as
tea, and bed time is not yet so near
that sleep is interfered with. Most ma
tions that drink coffee largely get sal
low skin, and / am inclined to think
that the carbonaceous matter Of the
roasted coffee, when so largely and fre-
quently taken, may perhaps have some
thing to DO with this. For hard work
ing people who are not corpulent 1
should suggest the thick-fake cocoa as
the healthiest and most nutritious
breakfast beverage. For those who do
not want fattening drinks, and who Of
ten cannot digest cocoa. | should say
drink hot water at breakfast. Those who
dine late and make their dinner their
main meal need diluent drink an hour
or two afterward; and, if they drink tea
it keeps them awake or makes them
irritable and nervous. / find for my

The Greatest Tramp,

One Christian Frederick Schaefe, a
Hessian, who recently died in New
South Wales, was probably the greatest
tramp of the century. He begged for
food and clothes, but would not accept
money. 1t is supposed he walked more
than 10000 miles in making success
fully the tour of Germany, France,
Spain, Northern Africa, Turkey, Italy,
Greece, England, the United States,

ally, when absolute necessity required,
as for instance on shipboard, he would
do a little work, but his apparent feeble
ness always excited pity and saved him
from hard labor. He was honest and
harmless.

An AggraYating Little Wretch.

Some of the city stores are constant

door and asking for cards, empty boxes
and that sort of thing. The clerks
are, of course, down on the youngsters,
and the warfare never ends. The
other day little girl opened a store
door, and sticking her head in, called
out:
"Say, mister, have you got any
empty boxes?"

"Got any cards?"

"Got any empty bottles2"

How Colds are Taken.

A person in good health, with fair
play, says the London Lancet, easily
resists cold. But when the health
flags little, and liberties are taken
with the stomach, or the nervous sys-
tenn, chill is easily taken, and accord
ing to the weak spot Of the individual,
assumes the form Of q cold. or pneu-
monia or, 1t may be, jaundice. OF all
causes of "coh," probably fatigue is
one of the most efficient. A jaded man

not, after all, the "cold that is so much
to be feared as the antecedent condi-
tions that give the attack chance Of
doing harm. Some of the worst
"colds'' happen to those who do not
leave their house or even their bed, and
those who are most inVulnerabIe are Of
ten those who are most exposed to
changes of temperature, and who by
good sleep, cold bathing, and regular
habits preserve the tone of their ner-
GUS system and circulation. Probably
many chills are contracted at night or
at the fag end of the day, when tired
people get the equilibrium Of their cir
culation disturbed by either overheated
sitting-roOms or underheated bedrooms
and beds. This is specially tho case
with elderly people. In such cases the
mischief is not always done instantane-
ously, or III single night. 1t often
takes place insidiously, extending over
days or even weeks. 1t thus appears
that taking cold" is not by any means
simple result of lower temperature,
but depends largely on personal coDdi-
tions and habits, affecting especially the
nervous and muscular energy of the
body.
