In France when poultry are dressed,
the waste products arc scrupulously saved.
Tho feathers arc carefully collected and
sorted, and when well dried are sold to
dealers. The lntcstincs arc boiled, the fat
SKINNED off, minced as food for poultry,
and the liquor fed TO pigs. The combs
and kidneys are sold TO pastry cooks, the
fret for decorating aud the latter for pics.
The head, mock and feet arc sold to hotels,
restaurants, ETC., for flavoring sauces, or
boiled down TO make chicken jelly.

SOUTH PARIs.-We are glad to learn
that Oliver p. Cummings, formerly engi.
neer on the Grand Trunk, injured by wild
engine eight years ago near Yarmouth, has
gained his case against the road. The L.
S. Supreme Court has affirmed the judg.
ment of the court below which awarded
him $40. 700 with cost and interest. This
case settles point Of law over which
there has been contention, and 1t gives
righteous judgment, for they should be IL
able for injuries done their employees,
through the Company's negligence or any
ones carelessness except the injured.

LEGISLATIVE APPoRTIoNMENT.

AUSTIN Y. sTEARSS, JAiLER, Paris.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-08-16

THE protectionists attempt to
strengthen their cause by reference to
the record of old-time statesmen in
favor of infant industries. They
seem to think the people too ignorant
to understand, that from seventy-five
to one hundred years ago this country
lacked both skilled labor and capital
while now there is superabundance
of both. There were then no deVel-
oped mines, not even raw material
1t was practical solution, then, of an
economical question, to encourage
home industry by especially favoring
it. The protectioniStS of the olden
time asked for protection that cap
ital might be accumulated to enable
infant Industries to develope. Now
they have become giant industries and
the principle applied then cannot be
applied now. This long period of pro-
lection taxing the people that indus
tries might be created in their
midst-has developed wholly
changed condition, one of
supertiuous capital, shown in the fact
that interest is lower in this country
to-day than in Europe. A cotempora-
ry asserts that we have developed in
this period natural industries surpass-
ing those of all the rest of the world;
and, therefore, the reasons, upon which
protectionists relied then, exist still
neither in whole nor in part. That
system can be supported now upon no
other ground than its inherent, uni
versal wisdom. This was not the
theory of the men from whom they
quote. They are not entitled to the
support of the opinions of those who
differed radically with them. The
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-08-16

CHAUNCY L. DUPEw, who, as at
torney, has connection with some of
the biggest financial enterprises in the
United States, has given his views on
the business outlook of the country.
He says, though crops are excellent
and money abundant, that gloom and
distrust prevailed to remarkable eX-
tent. The cause of this distrust, he
thought, was that so many people
had lost heavily by dealing in worth
less railway and other securities. The
people are afraid to invest and conse-
quently the volume of business has
fallen off. 1t is fact that is being
commented on that the merchants of
New York are doing comparatively
little business. 1t is a sign that they
are in distress when they send goods
to customers which have not been or
dered. They are doing this to an
extent heretofore unknown in bust
ness circles.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-08-16

narrow ribbon velvet in the sam
color. Around the crown is wreath
of pink and blue flowers. The pongee
silk sunshade matching the toilet is
surrounded by band of embroidery
and lace ruffie. On the handle is a
large red bow.
Account is given of a toilet worn at
hospital ball by a handsome Coasican
lady with dark hair and eyes. 1t was
composed of orange-colored satin and
black Spanish lace. The left shoulder
was quite uncovered, save that mar
row lace scarf was laid across it. The
scarf was confined on the right side
of the waist by a real mandarin
orange and knot of diamonds and
the dress was looped up in all direc-
lions by oronge feathers and real
fruit, small branch of mandarins
decorating the bodice.
The latest device for ornamenting
pocketbooks, fans, pouches and all
such dainty knick-knacks is a cluster
of strawberries stamped in relief
upon cream-white velvet or undress
ed kid and then either hand-painted
or covered with silk chenille work.
The effect is very charming.
Silver gray mohair dresses, made to
fit perfectly and trimmed simply with
self-pleatings, are among the most
ladylike and serviceable Of travelling
costumes. They are not affected by
dampneSs and shed the dust with a
good shaking.
