HOW PIG IS MADE PORK.

Of course went to see the stock yards of Chicago. A lively piebald porker was one of number grunting and quarrellng ill pen and was asked to keep my eye on him. And what happened to that pork CT was this: He was suddenly. seized by hind leg and jerked up on 8 small crane. This swung him swiftly to the fatal door through which no pig ever returns. On the other side stood man

 and the dead pig shot across trough and through another doorway, and there was a splash He had fallen head-frst into a vat of boiling water Some unseen ma- chinery passed him along swiftly to the other end of the terrible bath, and there 8 water-wheel picked him up and flung him out to sloping counter. Here another machine seized him and with one rcvolu- tion scraped him as bald as nut. And down the counter he went, losing his head as he slid past man with hatchet, and then, presto he was up again by the heels. In one dreadful handful a man emptied him, and while another squirted him with fresh water, the registering his own weight as he passed the teller's box-shot down the steel bar from which he hung, and whisked round the corner in to the ice-house One long cut of knife made two ''sides of pork" out of that pie bald pig.

HOW TO DRIVE A HORSE.

Young man, see you are about to take drive this morning, and will offer you some advice. Your horse is restive and wants to be off before are ready you may as well break him of this now as at any other time, and hereafter you will find that it has been half hour well spent. Just give me the reins, while you put your foot on the step, as if to get in; the horse makes a move to go; I tighten the reins and say "whoa." Now put your foot on the step again; the horse makes another move; hold the reins and speak to him again. The horse is getting excited. Pat him little on the neck and talk to him soothingly. Put your foot on the step again, and repeat this procdss until the horse will stand still for you to get in, and adjust yourself in your seat, and tell him to go. A few such lessons will train him so that he will always wait for the order before starting.
 Now, as your horse has just been fed, drive him at very gentle pace for the first two CT three miles, until he warns up and his body becomes lighter. But, be- fore you start, let me show you how to hold the reins. Take them in your left hand, have them of equal length from the bit, and to cross each other in your hand, the off side one resting on your first finger, the other on the fourth finger, the back of the hand upwards. Now, in guiding the horse, you have only to use the wrist joint, which will direct him either right or left, as you wish. Keep your hand steady, with gentle pressure on the bit-no jerk ing or switching of the reins. If more speed is wanted, take the whip in your right hand, to be gently used for that pur- pose be careful not to apply it any hard CT than is necessary to bring him up to the required speed.
 Speak to him soothingly, and intimate, in the most gentle manner, what you want him to do, and he will try to do it. So mo- ble an animal should not be handled roughly, nor over-driven.
 When you return, have the harness re- moved at once, and the horse rubbed down with wisp of straw or hay Give him 8 bite of straw or hay, and let him cool off before being watered or fed. Every one who handles horse, or has anything to do with one, should in the first place cul- tivate his acquaintance let him know that you are his friend, and show it to him by your kind treatment; he needs this to in- spire confidence, and when that is gained, he is your humble servant,
 If your horse gets frightened at any un- usual sight or noise, do not whip him, for if you do he will connect the whipping with the object that alarmed him, and be afraid of it ever after. If he merely shies at an object, give him time to examine it, which, with some encouraging words from the driver, will persuade him to pass it. You get frightened, too, sometimes, and would not like to be whipped for it, Stock Journal.

UNDER THE HUDSON RIVER.

The tunnel which is being constructed from New York to Jersey City, under the bed of the Hudson river, promises to be more difficult engineering feat than even the wonderful Brooklyn bridge. The lat ter is marvel in its way, but its construc- tion, after all, only involved the extension of engineering projects which had proved entirely practicable in minor enterprises. The tunnel under the British channel is justly regarded as an easy engineering feat, because the substratum through which the tunnel is to be extended is an easily worked chalk, protected from the water by intervening rock and clay, but the North river tunnel is driven through a soil of mud and sand, and artificial works have to be constructed to keep out the wa ter while the tunnel is under way The construction has so far progressed from each shore as to justify the skill of the en- gineers who planned it. When completed it will be 5,50O feet under the bed of the rive. The approaches to the water line occupy 5000 additional feet, so that the total length of this ''hole under the deepest part of the river is sixty feet. It ished. Its direct effect will be to bring freight and passengers from the west di- rectly into the city of New York, which fact will largely enhance the value of real estate in that city. So certain are those interested of the success of this project that another tunnel is projected between the lower point of New York island and the region below Jersey City. The begin ming of the next century will doubtless see four or five tunnels under the Hudson river and as many more between New York and Brooklyn. The engineer is clearly the industrial pioneer of the close of the nineteenth century. ... 4.
 Emery Storrs, the reparteeist, tells a story of a gentleman who bought bill of goods for $1, 300. The firm being suspi cious of their customer put $500 on the usual prices. The customer could only raise $l 200, which was the regular rate, the rest being in excess. He said he would give his note for the remainder, and they took it. Then he said he was in the hab it of receiving a present on making SC large bill. They gave him a necktie. He bitterly objected to such mean little present. The proprietors then concluded to present him with his note for the $500. He took it with look of cunning, and then said:

Have gone off like hot cakes since then, and these are all I've got left out of the fifty thousand lot. !"
