"What has given them the whistliug
crazef"
"rhe wonderful whistling perform
suces Of Mrs. Alice j. Saw and Mrs.
Jennie R Campbell have stimulated G
legion of beautiful imitators. But the
feWest number can whistle with anything
like success. They can carry an air
through very well, but the shading and
picolo-like melody are absent. It is
lady pucker her lips and try to whistle
meDt on the piano. The accompsni-
ment, is, admirable, bnte the whistle
is often marred by glazing def
sound through the lips. Mrs. Saaw's
fate-like notes are simply phenomenal
compared to the average young lady's
and those who expect to emulate her sue
cessfuliy must In the first place be assist
ed by natural aptitude. Some men can
whistle with ease and produce notes of 8
clear, crystal quality, while others who
are good musicians, zoo, can scarcely
whistle common tune. The same can
be said of women, Some years ago 1t
was rare thing to hear young lady
whistling, but now nearly every
household has 8 young daughter
that goes about the house try
ing in dolce fsr niente way to
initiate the birds. remember the time
when 1t was considered very unreaned
for 8 young lady to whistle, and the
mother always ended her by repeating
the very trite lines about whistling
woman and Growing hen never coming
to 8 good end. All that Is changed now,
mean among social circles in the large
cities, and the mother and father are just
as proud of their daughters whisting
accomplishment as they used to be CT
their skill as musicians. The mandolin,
guitar and banjo for the present are
relegated to the back stairs Of unpopu-
larity to make room for the new
crszs. I know young lady who csn
whistle 8 "Wsldteufel" waltz with such
sweetness Of expression that her listeners
are charmed. Her besutiful lips seem
principally constructed for wsl'z time, for
she does no other pieces IS well. Il takes

An Eff5r. 20 rax FOOD.
New York World, Jan. q, 1883.

new IOIA Ohus Atg 1oos.
The Senate committee on agriculture Is
giving hearings to individuals interested,
pro and con, In the proposed law sgAinst
the adulteration Of lard. The advocates
Of the measure are endeavoring to induce
Congress to repeat its error OF last year
in laying heavy tax on valuable food
product. Their motive Is not to protect
the public against unwholesome lard, but
to increase the price Of what they them
selves hsVs to sell.
Cotton seed oil Is as clean IS hog fat.
The mixture Of the two In the shape Of
lard answers the came purpose that the
animal product alone does. The con-
sumers ind no fSult with it and the man.
ufacturers make no secret OF its
use. The use of olive oil SIS
food might just IS well be pro-
hibited in Italy and Spain So cotton-seed
oil legislated against in the United States.
In either case there would be senseless
rejection Of one Of the bounties Of ProVi-
dence.
II It Is desirable that lard containing
cottoD-seed OIL should be labeled 80 as to
indicate the fact, let the law take that
shape. II inspection is necessary to pre-
vent Althy or unwholesome ingredients
from entering into the lard placed on the
market, let the law be shaped to that
effect. II Congress should enact these
laws and extend their application to cleo
margarine, after repeating the act Of last
year, the pending ssitatioh OF the subject
would become something to be glad Of

not legally pooled. To Fort Worth every
line is Independent, and every rate is
made upon the merits of the business.
This is becsuse every line taps different
section.
The CREST feature OF the refrlgerating
system-aod upon IT al estimates are
based is lpat the live cattle shall be con-
centrettd and killed at point where they
are available in large quantities at the
lowest cost, and the economy OF the pro-
cess shsll furnish the proHt. The saving
in trar sportstiou is the profit. Two cars
Of cattle and half car OF sheep are put
in one csI-the waste is LETT behind. The
saving by rail is equal to the saving by
water. The coast idea is one Of half
measures, is ct 3 disadvantage to supply
southern markets, and is based upon q
hand to hand fight with all the packers
selling in New York, Boston and Philadel-
pois, or by occasional foreign shipments.
sach an attempt must fail.
Fort Worth is in a position to supply
southern markets not yet occupied by the
dressed beef operators of Chicago, the
foreign business can be hsndled to bet
ter advantage because Tt xas cattle can be
placed at the southern ports cheaper dead
than alive. II this position was not cor
rect the dressed beef packeries would be
at New York and the dressed animal would
be shipped back on the road to Chicago.
In addition to eli arguments in the
premises, another feature Of the question
admits of no room for dispute. One re-
'rigersting establishment is in Fort Worth
capable of killing and disposing OF
100, COO Texas beeves, and if 1t Is not OPP
Grated in the year 1888 there will be no
beef packed in Texas by any other large
plAnt-but this one will be operated in
Texas, If the live stock owners Of Texas
do not turn their backs upon it. At present
the plant is in running shape. making Ice
and cooling beef. 1t is not idle, neither
is 1t rotting away, and there is some talk
Of turning 1t into brewery. II 1t was
packing beef 1t would be worth about
$500, 900 year to the stock interests Of
Texas.
