The breadfruit tree is u native of the
islands OF the Pacific ocean and the Indian
archipelago. and grows to a height of from
forty to fifty feet. An eastern writer de
scribes the fruit of this tree as resembling
a muskmelon in shape and sizr. 1t is
attached to the branches by "A small, thick
stalk and hangs either siu,ly or in clus-
tiers of two or three together. 1t contains
a fibrous pulp. which when ripe becomes
juicy and yellow, but has then a rotten
taste. At an earlier stage, when it is gath
cred for use, the pulp is white aud mealy
and of "A couSstence resembling new bread.
The method of preparing this fruit Is to
cut it into pieces take out the core, then
place heated stones in the bottom of hole
dug in the ground. cover with green leaves,
and upon these place layer of the fruit,
then stones, leaves and fruit alternately y,
till the whole is nearly filled, when leaves
and earth TO the depth Of several inches
are spread over all In rather more than
half an hour the breadfruit is ready for
eating. 1t has little taste, and more re-
sembles the plautain than bread made of
wheat flour. The inner bark of the bread
fruit tree supplies IA considerable part OF
the clothing of the islanders, and its tim
Der and milky juice are employed for eco

Torturing the Poor Hog.

The pepsin sold in the drug stores is the
veritable product of an animal stomach,
and generally of the stomach of the hog.
One factory in New York has the oldest
method of preparing the article that ever
entered into the human mind. A number
OF perfectly healthy hogs are fattened for
the market, and for thirty-siX hours before
killing time are deprived of all food, not
even being allowed Il drop of water Then
the trough from which they are accus
toned to eat Is covered with strong wire
netting and the most appetlZing Stops and
hog delicacies, smoking hot, are poured
into the trough.
The fumes ascend with grateful fra
GRANGE To the porcine nostrils, the hogs all
run TO the trough and stand over it, raven
Gus with hunger, squealing and fighting
with each other for chance to get at the
Stops. The iron netting prevents them
from tasting the food, and while they are
still thinking about the matter they are
killed, and their stomachs being taken out
are found perfectly full of gastric juice,
from which the pepsin is prepared. Now,
if it was not the hogs imagination that
made the gastric juice flow into his stom-
ach in anticipation of feast, what was it,

HISTORY OF THE HARP.


Its Origin aud Gradual Development.
some Celebrated IIarps.
The harp originated in the east and
spread from the Assyrians and Egyptians
to the Jews; from them to the Greeks, the
Firms, the Welsh, the Irish and other ma.
tions. Ireland did IA great d,al for the in
strument in the Middle Ages, and the ltal
ians, who borrowed it from them. wrongly
credited them with its invention. Why
the Irish should have selected the harp as
their national emblem is not quite clear
The Welsh, at all events have an equal
claim to it. They have chung to the instru
ment while in Ireland it has all but disal-
peared.
The Egyptian harps have no pillar and
were played in IL standing position, the
number of strings varying. The Welsh
harp had nine strings for many centuries
and only single row. The double row
succeeded, and the present triple row per
fected the instrument. 1t IS said to have
been first noticed in the Fifth century
Mercennus, in 1852, delineated the triple
harp, giving it four octaves, and in all sew
enty-five strings.
The celebrated Irish harp, of which we
give an illustration, has long been in the
family of Noah Dolway, ESD, of Bellahill,
Ireland. Every part of it is covered with
inscriptions in Latin and Irish. 1t was

A blow at Stratocracy

The decision of the Supreme Court
yesterday, declaring the order of the
Mayor. removing from Office the Police
Commissioners, Messrs. Denis, Drolla,
Demourelle and Borne, illegal, and re-
Installing those gentlemen in their Off
ces which Gov. Nichols had filled with
his appointees, will be received
with very general appreciation.
We have always been strongly In
clined to Mayor Shakspeare's opinion,
that the control of the police should be
as nearly as possible in the hands of
the Chief Executive of the city. But
that Is not the law, and the law must
be obeyed. Neither the city nor the
State government is a s%tratocracv.
Neither the Mayor nor the Governor
is a dictator; neither of them is above
the law, and the Supreme Court, in
this decision, has brought them both
to realize these very important facts.
So far as Mayor Shakespeare is con
cerned, we do not believe that he is
open to any serious censure for his
part i'll the business. Tie Mayor is IA
plain man his training has been en-
tirely in mechanical and business pur-
suits, and he does not set up as a great
constitutional lawyer
For Governor Nichols part in this
attempt to break up a legal and very
important Board, and set M a substi-
tute outside OF the law, no such excuse
can be made He SITS up as il great
constitutional lawyer and does business
TO the delight Of his personal ring, in
that line. He cannot, therefore. plead
ignorance of the law and if lie cannot
plead ignorance, his part in this trans
action must be denounced as another
instance of his recklessness and IN
scrupulousness III pursuing his own
political ends. 1t was perfectly plain,
to any lawyer, that the meeting of the
Police Board without a call by the
Mayor, merely for purposes of confer
ence, vas not a case that authorized
that functionary to exercise his power
OF removal ; and even if it had been,
IS perfectly plain that no such legal
was accorded the removed Com
m~issicners as the law required; and
hence, it is perfectly plain that this
great g~ubernltolial light of constitu
tional law was influenced, in this in
stance, by his personal wishes and
ends, and not by the law; by the in
of his political faction. and not
by the interests of the community
