Lord Nelson's Flagship.

feel quite sure that few American
boys have visited Lord Nelson's flag
ship. the glorious old Victory, = on
whose deck the gallant admiral re.
ceived his deaLh-wound, October 81.
1906, in that fam Gus battle in the Bay
Of Trafalgar. The Victory led the
attack against the combined navies OF
France and Spain. It was Lord Mel
SON q mightiest victory, and the power
of France on the ocean was destroyed.
The good ship still presents fine ap.
pearance, and looks strong enough for
another sea-tight. Few OF her original
timbers remain, however. The Vic
tory" floats high out OF water, and her
ports, from which the cannon have so
often proclaimed England's victories,
| are mostly closed, and tho few guns
| on board are used only for firing
salutes. The British flag still waves
from the mast and a small company
of sailors guard the ship. 5.s
! After coming on board. an escort is
provided. Visitors are requested
| to register their /. names and
| contribute a trifie toward paying for
this escort5d duty by the crew, whose
| chief employ ment is to show visitors
| the interesting places on board. We
first went on the main deck. a brass
plate set in one part Of this deck is In
scribed, 'sHere Nelson fell. !" Our
guide said that ..Lord Nelson had no
right to stand near this spot and
that she was killed by one of his own
men, who shot him from the cross
trees''; but we did not care to listen to
such story, believing, rather, as in
! deed is the truth, that Nelson was kill
ed by the enemy.
The great deck, as it now appears
without Il single gun, looked lonely
enough, and we descended, by way OF
the decks between, to the cock pit,
where the gallant sailor died., 1t is a
damp, gloomy, and silent place, where,
on that eventful day, and at the close
OF Nelson's greatest battle, the great
chief was tenderly carried. The gallant
sailor had requested that mantle be-
thrown over him, so that, as they
passed through the decks, he might
not be. recognized, lest his crew should
lose heart in the desperate struggle.
Around him, in the moment of death
and OF victory, stood few Of his
faithful officers waiting for his spirit
to take its flight 1t was at Southsea
that the hero had embarked to fight
the enemies of his country. The spot
is now marked by one Of the "Vic-
tory's'' old anchors; and to the same
spot, later, came the returning boats
in solemn procession, one of them
bearing the remains Of: the hero Of
Trafalgar. What a contrast! England
can well afford generous honors tc
such naval chief.-W Thornton

Killing Cattle.

The modus operandi of killing and
preparing cattle at the stock yards
for the market is described by writer
for the. National s.Liue-iStocE Journal,
who says: Zone man, with good
breach-loading rifle, used at very
short range, does the killing. This
has been found the surest, quickest,
and most humane way of xtinguish-
ing the life of cattle by the firms en-
gagged in the business here. One con-
Germ uses a heavy hammer to deal the
death-blows, and d few years ago
''spearing" was resorted to-. This
| was, in appearance at least, very
barbarous practice. A man armed
with a bar OF round iron, seven or
eight feet long and sharp pointed at
one end, would take his place over the
narrow chute through which the bull
lock was driven, and plunge the in
strumentinto the top OF his head, just
back of the horns, seyering the spinal
cord. Generally the spear was effec-
tive, and caused instant death, but in
the case of badly frightened and
FESTIVE beasts it would frequently go
wide of the mark, and MAIN them in
a horrible manner. After the shoot
ing the animals are dragged head
foremost by chain from where they
fell into the main building and their
threats are cut, the blood being
caught, as ios flows, in pans. These
are allowed to stand until the blood
coagulates, when it is removed and
dried, for not only the blood, but the
horns, bones, entrails, tails and every
thing except the contents OF the. stom-
$ach and bowels have a commercial
value here. The tail does not 60 with
the hide at the .stock-yards, but is
taken out entirely and has market
Talue of about 16c. Ox-tail soup is
made from them. The intestines are
all wanted for sausage castings, and
the bones are sold mainly to knife
manufacturers. They are worth $50
to $55 per ton. There is a demand in
some quarters for blood SAUSAGE and
the blood not used in this way is sold
to sugar retiners. 1t is worth $28 per
ton. Hogs blood IS used but seldom,
except as a fertllizing material. The
visitor is always amazed at the in,
credible short time it takes a practical
butcher to remove the hide from 3ai
bullock. The whole operation Of
skinning and dressing is accomplished
at the rate of one every ten minutes
to each butcher, or about the length
of time it takes q farmer to skin the
hind leg OF a COW to her gambrel
