Better Inspection Needed.

DettcE AnspeciOu Heeoeu.
DR.. d. e. Salmon, chief of the Bureau Of An
imal Industry at Washington. read paper to-
day before the American Public Health Asso-
citation on "The Necessity of More Rigorous
Inspection Of Meat Producing Animals at the
Time OF Slaughter" In order to protect the
health Of citizens, to maintain the reputation of
American meats in foreign markets, and to
discover communicable diseases before they
spread beyond control, he maintained that in
spectors having greater professional skill than
those employed at present should have control
Of the work, and more thorough inspection
should be exacted. The concentration Of the
slaughtering establishments at few points,
which is objected to by some interests, affords
the opportunity for the adoption of the ideal
system Of inspection, he thought The inspec-
tor should not be content with view Of the
live cattle, but should be present at the time of
slaughter, and examine the viscera Of each ami
NAL. After all that has been said about the
danger Of contracting tuberculosis from dis
eased meat there are few il any places where
such necessary inspection is now made. The
larger slaughterers, after having opposed il,
favor . rapid inspection. There was no reason,
he said, to think that diseases are more preva-
lent among animals in this country than abroad.

Tho Future American Enpirc.

Queen Victoria, in her speech at the
opening Of parliament, said; Il have
consented to take part in a conference
with Germany and America, ut Ber-
lin, upon the Samoan question" Here
is a curious example of tho complete
surrender which has been made to
this country of the word America. 1t
is now applied by the people of other
nations only to the great Union of
American states. To be an American,
therefore, one must be a citizen of the
most powerful republic that ever ex-
listed. No one thinks of calling resi-
dent of Canada or Mexico an Ameri-
can. The people of the United States,
by their achievements, have made
themselves stand for the entire con-
tinent. Perhaps this is an unconscious
admission on the part of the rest Of
the world that it is the manifest des-
tiny of this country to rule all the ter
ritory, from the pole to the isthmus
and from ocean to ean.-Chicago

, An Electric Clock.

A great deal of interest HIS been
created in France by the n0vl form
and operation of an electric clock. re-
Gently introduced, the pecuii rlty in
the construction of which consists in
the presence of two kinds of batteries,
one wet zinc-iron element and the
other dry zinc-iron element The
former consists of an iron bottle five
and one-half inches high by three and
one-half diameter, which forms one
clectrode; the other electrodc is zinc
rod passing through an India rubber
stopper into the center Of tie bottle,
this being filled with caustic potash
and oxide of mercury. There is no
diaphragm, and the zinc is gradually
consumed, while the oxide OF mercury
is reduced; the e. m. {. is l.3 volts, and
the internal resistance only 3 Of ali
ohm. These clocks receive an impulse
forty times minute, and exhibit no
weakening of the power either III the
dry or the wet cell. An easy calcula-
ton will show the interesting fact that
the total number of electrical impulses
exceeds 21,000,000 per annum-ccr-
tainly most severe duty for any bat
tery.-New York Telegram.

Ruilding Shina.

The business of building ships has
prospered in Great Britain during the
past year II is noble trade, and en-
ploys large number of the most skill
full mechanics. On the little river
Clyde, in Scotland, 302 vessels were
launched in 1883, of which 175 were
steamers and 127 were sailing ships.
Most of the steamers were built of
steel, which has now become the favor
tie metal among ship owners.
On the Tyne, 1872 vessels were built
during the year, and on the Wear rs,
making total of 500.
These vessels alone would form q
very imposing fleet, and nearly all of
them were designed for commercial
purposes. Great as the number OF
new vessels was, it does little more
than mako good the losses in the Brit
ish shipping list by wreck and decay.
Moreover, q considerable number of
these vessels were built for foreign
firms and governments.
In any part of the world, if any one
wants good steamer built, he thinks
first Of the great ship building firms
in the north of Britain, and one OF
them is pretty sure to get the contract.
There was time when the United
States took the lead in this magnificent
kind OF manufacture, and people in
England went down to the docks in
Liverpool and London just to see the
beautiful clippers built on tho Merri.
mac, the Hudson and the Kennebec.
1t should be so, and will be so again,
we trust, before many years have
passed. youths Companion.

Seals Not Signatures.

When Ralph Red bought his fathers
freedom of William lie Butler, William
gave him an acknowledgment for the
money and written certificate of the
transaction, but he did not sign his
name. In those days nobody signed
their names, not because they could
not write, for l suspect that just as
largo o proportion of people in Eng
land could write well 600 years ago as
could have done so forty years ago,
but because il was not the fashion to
sign ones name. Instead Of doing
that everybody who was freeman
and man Of substance, in executing
any legal document, affixed to il his
seal, and that stood for his signature.
People always carried their seals about
with them in q purse or small bag,
and il was no uncommon thing for q
pickpocket TO cut off this bag and run
away with the seal, and thus put the
owner to very serious inconvenience.
This was what actually did happen
once to William lie Buffers father-in-
law. He was certain Sir Richard
Dollhouse, and he lived at North Tud-
denham, near Dereham. Sir Richard
was high sheriff for the counties of
Norfolk and Suffolk in 1891, and his
duties brought him into court ON Jan.
% of that year before one of the
Judges ut Westminster. / suppose
the court was crowded, and in the
crowd some rogue cut off Sir Richards
purse and made off with his seal. /

THE WOMEN OF FRANCE.
Denial Of the Claim That There So Many
Msdcaps Among Them.

Denial Of the Claim That There So Many
MsdcHps Among Them.
Do not trust our newspapers. Above
all shun those journals which pretend
to describe society. The society that
they know, the only society that they
can describe, is not society at all; il is
Bohe mia. They talk, il is true, Of q live
duchess, but they have only seen their
duchess from distance. She was in
her box, they were all away below in
the stalls. The woman whom they
really know is Marguerite Gautier, and
and IL is Marguerite to whom they as
sign the ducal name.
Most frequently they do not even
take the trouble to find a fictitious
trademark for their wares; they fur
nish you without disguise. with the
scandal of the world of pleasure, a per-
feet series of orgies, Bacchanalia of
courtesans. Thereupon you say to your
self. This is great Babylon Indeed
it is not; il is only tiny corner of
Babylon, no bigger than nutshell
tiny corner, such as may be found
in London, in Rome or in Vienna.
This corner is trifle larger in proper
ton as the town is more famous and
attracts more foreigners.
But this is not the immortality of
Paris, it is the immortality of the
world; nay, it is not Paris nor is it the
Partisan woman. There is no more
amusing madcap than the Partisan
courtesan, and no more sensible and
charming person than the Partisan
woman. The two exist in two dis
tinct worlds, and have nothing in COM
mon except their hats.
We have, at the outside, 1000 or
5000 of the madcaps, reckoning in
that number those who are on the
border line and who have one foot
in each of the two worlds. II is
a large number, but only think
what host of foreigners come
to us. And yet the madcaps
attract more attention than our 800,
600 virtuous Partisan women and our
10000, 900 virtuous French women.
Foreigners are not the only persons
who make a mistake about this matter.
In France itself the novel makes such
a fuss that many Frenchmen fancy
that the ono class of women is the
other.
Our excellent little middle class
women are judged by the standard of
Indiana" Fifty years ago they were
all reading Indiana" with fervor,
forcing themselves to find their own
image in it, just as at the present day
we force ourselves for an hour or so
to believe that Francois le Champi's
peasants are nsen of flesh and blood.
Nay, my dear ladies, you are not such
Indianas nor such Francillons as all
that. When you go to see Francillon
on the stage you are SO charmed with
the happy ending of the third act that
you forgive the improbabilities of the
other two. Meilhac maintains that
your French virtue is steadily di-
minishing quantity; but at all events
you cling to what remains of it. Still,
/ am only now speaking of fashionable
Partisan ladies, for the others keep
simply to the old standard. Vice re-
quires little time to blossom, but it
