strict Economy.

Science brings about economy, and in
these days of varied manufactures, and
perfect facilities for carrying them on,
there is very little waste material in any
branch of trade. The Sunday Call in de-
scribing the slaughter of cattle at New
ark, N. j., says that no part of steer
is lost save its dying breath.
Nothing is wasted from the tip Of the
tongue to the brush on the end Of the
tail. The blood is caught and sold to
make albumen for sugar refineries and
other manufactures, or to form cheap
substitute for the hard rubber and other
plastic material used in the manufacture
of buttons. When the meat Is dressed
the contents of the stomach are removed,
dried and baled as manure, and the stom-
ach itself Is prepared us tripe.
The hide goes to the tanner, the head
is skinned and denuded of flesh for the
sausage maker, tho horns go to the
comb maker, who knocks out the pith
and sells it to the glue manufacturer,
who is ever ready to take all the refuse
from any part of the steer. The horny
coverings of the hoofs are almost as use
full as horn for making buttons and sim
liar articles, and the feet can be used for
oil and glue.
The shinbones make the finest of bone
handles, and all the rest of the bony
structure, which the butcher is unable
to sell with the meat, finds its way event
ually to the manufacturer of bone fertil-
izer and bone black.
A few of the tails are utilized, in cold
weather, in the manufacture of oxtail
soup, but usually "the tail goes with the
hid" and becomes spoiled for domestic
use while lying about in the tannery.
Every scrap Of the animals skin, even
the pate, as the skin Of the head is called,
is used, in one way or another, and the
refuse Of the tanneries becomes an inn
portant part Of the income of those
establishments.

Talk about mathematics puzzlesl Here
is one that beats out the hen-and-a-half,
egg-and-a-half algebraical nightmare. On
a Rondo street car Alderman Patrick
Kavanagh put quarter into the change
box in the front door. An instant be-
fore young lady had deposited dime
in the same sub-treasury. The driver
returned from the outside two change
packages, a blue and a white one, stimuli
taneously. With true gallantry Mr.. Kav-
anagh waited for the young lady to help
herself, which she did, inadvertently
taking out the blue one, and, by mis-
take, dropping two dimes into the "Pay
Here" lock box. Kavanagh demanded
his change, but the driver obdurately re-
fused to give any more. Hard words
ensued, to the great embarrassment of
the lady, and the alderman refused to
take the ten cent package, which re-
manned in the possession Of the COM
pany. Kavanagh, OF course, paid no
more for his ride; the young lady paid
twenty cents, and now how much was
the company ahead ON the deal?- Ches-

Speed of Elevators.

Myron II. Trap made fortune in ele-
vators, and has long since retired from
active work. On Broadway, in one of
the big office buildings, / met him, and
the talk naturally drifted toward the sub
ject upon which he loves to descant.
II have just been having long con-
sultation with several architects, build
ers and contractors" said he, ''about the
advisability of having some legislation
passed which would limit the speed of
passenger elevators. The fact is that in
many of the big Office buildings in New
York, as well as in other cities, COM
plants are coming quick and often about
what is called the terribly dangerous
speed with which the elevators are run.
A few years ago 200 feet minute was
considered very rapid travelling up or
down on the elevator in building. This
was before the twelve to fifteen story
structures became the fashion in the
large cities. With their advent the archi-
tects We'd with each other in attempts to
arrange things that the elevators could
be run at almost any desirable speed,
and finally the competition of builders
and experts drove the speed onward until
it in some cases reached 800 feet min
ute.
Everything considered, however,
there is not much actual danger in a
modern swiftly running elevator. The
elevators in this country carry more pas
sengers every day than the railroads do,
yet you very seldom hear of serious ac-
eident OH any first class elevator. The
1arrea nf.~~faty nj tairc1 -.s..as, ti.a,r. 'ier,
late days is really something marvellous.
What the public ought to know is this:
Whenever anything happens to an eIe-
yator upon which passengers are being
carried and the machinery seems to be
deranged, never try TO get off. Keep
cool and remain still until the car reaches
the end of its journey. Then it will stop

A MODERN HOME.


The hearthstone and the home
Prom ancient times came down,
Like pedigrees of British peers
That antedate the crown
The poet twines his verse
With grace around the theme,
And plot or prose is incomplete
That drops them from its dream.
But In this age Of change
That cultivates the new,
Patrician habits step aside
And greet the paryenu-
Improvement is Its name,
Convenience Is its throne,
And rhyming writer's lose their grip
When sentiment has flown.
For now are countless homes
Exiled within the fiat;
What facile poet has the nerve
To try his charm on thats
And hearthstones are but pipes,
Back in the corner set;
Rude foes to all alluring thoughts
That dancing flames beget.
The imagery of each
Is banished from ones dream,
When home is hired per month en- suite
And the hearthstone holds the steam.

AMERICAN GIRLS.
How a Party Succeeded in Shaking Hand

How Party Succeeded in Sh king Hands
With Bismarck.
A few weeks ago a company of young
ladies from Maine made VOW that they
would not only see Bismarck, but shake
hands with him. And they accomplished
their vow in the most easy and natural man
ner. The occasion was a bazaar given at
Bismarck's palace in Berlin for the benefit
of the Ten pfennig Society, society for
the aid of the poor The Maine girls re-
paired TO the palace at 1 80 o'clock in the
afternoon and found the apartments crowd
ed with people buying goods much as is
done in our New England baZaars. Pres
emily the young ladies saw that the worship
ers of Bismarck began to be aware Of his
presence. and half dozen bouquets were
placed in his hands.
What lovely flowers the Prince has ?"
said one OF the girls in English.
Bismarck overheard the remark and turn
ing 10 the young lady and shaking her
hand said, also in English:
" But do you not think there are more be-
slowed on me than deserved"
s. If had more would add them to your
stock" she retorted.
Bismarck laughed, and added: Il am
very glad to see that you Americans take
interest enough In the bazaar to come
here"
The Maine girls again found it con-

terms in English OF what they saw and
heard.
What magnificent man Prince Bis
marck isl" remarked one.
The Prince turned and smiled, and ex-
tended his hand to each of the Maine girls,
and said:
"And you, too, are Americans. And you
think the palace is magnificent, do YOU?
| am glad it phases you. | am happy to
welcome you as Americans"
The happy way in which the Chancellor
misunderstood the compliment to himself
and appropriated 1t to his palace shows
that his intellect is not impaired by years,

MISS NETTERVILLE.

She Was Miser Who Claimed to Be Re-
lated to a Great Duke.
An old English lady named Netterville,
who claimed 10 be the sister of the Duke OF
Argyle, died recently at u Avenue d'Antin.
She had been living for eight years in the
house, and occupied an apartment for which
she paid 100 francs rent. She had an
oth9r old woman as companion,
and sometimes spoke of this person as
her sister. During all the time that these
women occupied the apartment the shut
tiers were never once opened. Two days
ago the horsepower, fancying that fire had
broken out In the apartment, sent for the

OF the sapeurs-pompiers SO frightened Miss
Netteryille that she took to her bed with
an apopleetic fit. Yesterday morning
it was found necessary to send for

Philippe du Roule. TIE latter says that he
never in his life saw more miserable home
than that occupied by the old English
woman. There was not a scrap of furniture
except In the room in which Miss Nettervile
was lying, which was furnished with a
straw mattress flung in one corner of the
room. The whole place was in a state of in
describabie filth, teeming with yermin. He
found the patient lying in dirty rags on the
straw defending herself as best she could
against swarms of rats and mice which had
overIun the whole apartment. Miss Net

scholar, John Fiske, in one of his recent

History" brings to light many queer mug
gets as the result of his delying about. par
tcularly among the early days of the West
ern States. He finds that about the time
Jefferson proposed his scheme of govern
ment for the Northwestern Territory there
was a classical revival among our great
grandfathers, which specially manifested
itself in names. A city had been lust
founded on the Ohio River, opposite the
mouth of Licking Creek, to which
they gave the name of LoSantiyille.
The word was compounded in the
following odd style: IL" stood
for Licking. while "os" signiied
mouth. "anti" opposite. and willie" town.
