How New York Is Treated to Unhealth,
Calves aud Aged Cows.

How New York Is Treated to Unhealthy
Calves and Aged Cows.
''My dear sir, il those fellows were to
put on the hooks of Monroe market
some of the meat that they send to New
York we would hang them to the near
est telegraph pole"
1t was a well known justice OF the
peace of Orange County who said this.
We were riding over the hills together,
and in the course of five mile drive
learned more about bob veal and jerkers
than had ever dreamed of before.
''Yes, SIR" said he, 1.-The ways of the
honest farmer are pretty slick, and you
New York folks have to pay the piper.
do you see that red house down in
the valley yonder? That belongs to q
bob butcher, as we call them, who has
grown rich in the trade. He travels
about the country collecting milk
calves, and slaughters and sends them
to New York-calves that / would no
more think Of eating than / would of
eating poison. He openly boasts up here
shat he owns the meat inspectors, body
and brooches; and Judging from some
of the meat that passes | should say he
did. Once in awhile when there is an
over supply he gets seizure of few
baskets made. Then he comes back
here and tells pretty tale of woe to
the farmers. No demand, dangerous
business and all that stuff. However,
he will take the calves off their hands
for the sake of the pelts at fifty cents
apiece, just for old friendships sake
Like as not he will get two dollars for
the very animais-poor little babes
that he pays half dollar for.
There is another industry up here
that is interesting to city people. When
a dairy runs out SO that the COWS are
mere skin and bone and fit for nothing
at all they are called ''jerkers." These
jerkers are shipped to New York and
made into bologna sausage. II they are
able to stand they are shipped alive; il
not they are killed and the meat
shipped down in baskets. ] would not
feed it to a respectable hog that /
thought any thing OF. But several car
loads go ont from Monroe each week,
and New Workers get the sausage. Oh,
it is fine TO be behind the scenes!
''But leetle the worst that honest
farmer did up here was when the pleuro-
pneumonia epidemic got here. The
State and Government inspectors were
here, and many animals were sla ugh
tered. Some were found to be healthy
after death and the inspectors permitted
their bodies TO be sent to New York;
but, my friend. some of the others went
also, and that is the Gospel truth.
stop them? Well, yes, | suppose we
might have stopped them. But we rea-
soned that they were not sold in our
markets and it was none of our funeral.
New York had men hired to look out for
such things
THE fact is you ought to have meat
and milk inspectors stationed up here
instead Ofin the city. and they ought to
get million year to keep them hon

look sharp to keep the mortgage from

GODS PROVIDENCE.
4 Belief That Helps the Unfortunate to
Bear Their Burdens Sobly.

a Belief That Helps the Unfortunate to
Bear Their burdens Nobly.
Nothing so helps the unfortunate to
bear their burdens as belief that those
burdens are part of the providence of
the world and come to them with purpose
and design, and, although not easy to
bear now, have future benefit not only
30 themselves, but to the whole universe
at large. This belief begets sp rit of
humility which in itself gives the
strength to bear more than half of the
hard load, for with its coming departs
Sill that defiance, all that fighting with
fate, which is as useless as it is desper-
Ute. And with the willing spirit Of
humility comes also capacity for reli-
ance arr trust, for dependence on SUI
preme and fatherly care, that makes all
pain seem lighter than it could seem
otherwise, and that gives one all the
satisfaction that the little child has
when sobbing out its grief after any
hurt upon q mothers breast Ii is a
Tremendous thing for one TO possess this
sense of the fatherhood and providence
of the power that rules the universe;
one who has it fully ceases TO struggle,
rests in the divine arms. and no matter
what deprivation, effort loss or sorrow
comes, that person remains satisfied
with the vine will, sees the san behind
Che shadow, feels that grief and trouble
are temporary but better things are
eternal. and finds it easier TO endure
with that help, as if one were carried
over on strong wings.
But one who does not possess this
faith in Gods providence has the woes
of the world, so far as they affect ones
self, to carry all alone, has TO fight with
the sun in the face. has burden under
which the giants Of old would have stag
gered. The FOLLY and futil.ty of the eff
fort are as certain as if one undertook to
make world ones self, or to nod it in
correlation with the other worlds. 1t
ends either in stony Indifference that
has its consequence in an equal indiffer-
ence to pleasure and satisfaction so that
if one no longer suffers, neither does
= one any longer enjoy, or else in mad
ness. The moment that the effort is
Surrendered comes peace, comes abSo-
klNte abandonment of all ones self-re-
iiance and resistance, comes complete
surrender to the all-surrounding power.

Openly declare that they do not believe

tonly non-resistance and submission TO
fate, but acquiescence and loving trust,

sure, but that it is also, in view of its
capacity of producing comfort and hap

How TO stop iiiccoughs.

I Hiccough is produced by a spasmodc
switching of the diaphragm. If it hap
pens when person is just breathing in,
Ut produces a sort of cultural noise. If
the person has strength of will enough
he can take hold of his diaphragm and
hold it down, that is. by taking q deep
breath the diaphragm is contracted so
that it can not contract any more. The
spasms of hiccough occur in rhythmical
order. once in so many seconds. Ascer-
tain the length of the interval and then
about five seconds before it is time for
the hiccough, take a deep breath DELHI
erately and slowly, and hold il until you
have passed two periods This will
break up the rhythm. Frightening a
person has the same effect and explains
the philosophy OF that mode of cure.
!, Hiccough is usually due to irritation or
some other disturbance of the stomach.

ihabit.-Dr. j. h. KELLOGG.

THE MOURNING HABIT.
Long Grape Walls Are No Longer Worn BY
Sensible Women.

There is no matter that is regulated
30 much by personal preference, and
about which people differ in taste so
much, as mourning dress DESTINATIONS
mourning, like any ostentatious show
of grief. rather suggests insincerity than
any other feeling. Those who grieve
truly for their friends are apt to lose for
the time all sense of what the world
| thinks Of their sorrow, and shrink from
parading their woe in public. The ma
jority OF people who adopt mourning
now wear simple garments of black,
with little Grape, ana none of the elab-
Orate insignia of sorrow formerly die
tated by etiquette. The long Grape vail
that muffied the face and stiied the
breathing in its poisonous dye, has long
been condemned by physicians, and
women of common sense refuse to wear
1t over their faces. A regard for the
conyentionalities of the world should be
observed by those who do not put on
black. 1t would be shocking to any one
to see widow with gay apparel at her
husbands funeral. Even if she does
not ''believe in mourning" she should
adopt on such an occasion garb that is
in some conSonance with propriety.
Brilliant cOlors and snowy attire are
always indicative of gayety, and somber
colors of sorrow. The feelings of per-
sons in genuine sorrow are usually such
that they desire plain attire. Ostenta-
tiOuS mourning is often as dissonant with
their feeling. a. gay apparel. 1t is
therefore becG;ning more and more the
custom of refined people TO adopt during
the period OF their seclusion from the
gayeties of the world simple outfit OF
black with gray and white. "A garb which
is entirely different in effect from regu-
lation mourning as any thing can be, yet
which is so simple and requires so little
thought that il leaves the wearer time
and thought for the weightier matters
of life and death, toward which she
turns continually at such times of be-
reavement
Consistency certainly should be aimed
at when mourning is put on. The pict-
ure of mother and sisters. who had
put on deep mourning, appearing two
weeks afterward at large social gather
ing once caused great deal of gossip.
and worldly people imputed to them a
desire to display their grief in their
dress rather than sincere sorrow. Ger
tainly no one in deep black should ap-
pear at any gay entertainment 1t Is
equally absurd TO refuse all recreation.
A widow usually remains out of society
for one or two years. A person after
wearing light mourning for three
months may attend concerts and gradu-
ally accept invitations No person who
was in sincere sorrow would plunge into
social pleasures. A widow who wears
diamonds and other snowy jewelry with
deep mourning is not likely to pay much
heed TO the conventionalities of life.

A MUSCULAR HEN.
She vanquishes Biddy and Adopts a Family
of KittenA.

At Stafford Springs Conn, a deter
mined old hen wanted to sit. Her owner
removed her eggs, whereupon in queru-
lous mood she quit her nest and clustered
about the homestead. finding a great
deal of fault with life. While she was
doing that the family cat discovered her
srtistically wrought and rounded nest
curled upon it and deposited live kittens
in it. Then biddy came back. pitched
into pussy, fairly drove her off the nest
few in and sat down on the kittens,
evidently inferring they were a new
kind of chickens, she had Matched in a
moment Of mental abstraction. For a
fday or two the hen brooded away and
the unhappy cat stalked about the
premhes watching for an opportunity
30 get back her own. At the end of
three days the hen had TO quit the old
stand for food and water. and promptly
the cat slipped into the nest and taking
the kittens one by one by the cuff Of
the neck, transported them all to the
distant part of the hay-mow.
Then came biddy home again. When
she found the fiedgings flown she raised
another noisy row all about the farm.
She looked allow and aloft vainly for
awhile, for the missing brood. and final
ly found them ranged like pegs, on a
telegraph pole arm alongside the parent

cat had to fly from the furious hen

An her teeth, while the hen held the

With the kitten in her teeth the cat
scaled high Scaffold and made for her
self new home, with her one offspring
by her side. The old hen is still en-
camped on the rest of the kittens in the
new-made nest. She lays not neither

and very often she sees more Of real,
sweet home life. She is apt to learn
that most beautiful industry, how to be
good housewife, and over the bread
pan or the churn she can think as great
thoughts as she would over the elaborate
fancy work or in the picture gallery.
She can study flowers as they grow; she
can breathe the good pure ar of heaven.

her learning TO speak slang. Among
these people virtues are respected and
vices are condemned. and she is thrown
into society which she will never regret
