How Jewish Meat IL Killed.

One OF the largest abattoirs of the city
OF New York. covering an ample block,
owned AMI operated by men of Jewish
race and faith, is remarkable for its
smooth and effective working and ad-
mirable distribution of parts. An aver
age of 800 cattle, between three and five
years old, pass through it In each Of the
business days Of the year. Arriving
from the west at the river front, they
ascend n by one to the fateful inclos-
ure, where an adept employee fastens
a chain around the hind leg of each.
Hoisted by machinery, the bovine falls
gently upon n shoulder, and in most
instances without a cry. Occasionally,
however, some brute, maddened by sight
and smell of blood, breaks out into the
slaughter house and creates disturbance
that is speedily quelled by its own dis
patch. Submissive companions, with
neck twisted to expose the throat, quick
ly feel the shochet's long and shining
knife. The shochet himself il a stall
wart fellow, cool and wary withal, who
rarely makes a useless motion. He is a
religious man and of good moral char
acter, as his license from Rabbi Jacob
Joseph, chief of certain orthodox con-
%gregations in the metropolis, ayouches.
The life stream in torrents follows the
movement of his blade. This is ''shec-
hita," the killing. 1t insures complete
effusion of blood, in which may be
germs Of disease that otherwise might
find entrance into human bodies. Next
follows "bediqah," the examination OF
instrument and victim. If a nick ap-
pear on the keen edge of the knife, that
by extremists is held to imply unneces-
sary suffering, injurious chemical
change and consequent unftness of the
carcass for market. If there be none,

How Money Circulates,

There would be more bills paid in this
world if the people would only stop to
realize how much more profitable it is
for all concerned to keep the money in
circulation.
Here is an example how money circu
lates from n man to another, although
it is not often that you can keep track of
a bank bill on it's travels in this way.
A Portland merchant owed s. to a shop
keeper.
The shopkeeper called at the mer-
chants place of business and received a
So bill. A little later he used the bill to
pay a debt Of 50 which he owed to a la
borer.
The laborer at once went and paid a
debt of s. which he owed his grocer
The grocer gave the So bill to a painter.
1t CHANGED that this painter owed $1.5C
to the first named shopkeeper. The
painter paid the debt, and the shopkeeper
discovered that the identical So bill
which he had paid out in the morning
had come back to him.
This s. bill had paid $3.50 worth OF
debts, and the original holder had his
money back.-Bangor (Me.) Commercial.

A Snider'S Rand Work.

When the Common geometrical spider
has made up it's mind to spin n web, it
commences operations by inclosing a GER
tain area with the foundation lines. To
these ~radiating lines are fixed, generally
about thirty in number, and all joining
in the center of the snare. When the
radii are finished the spinner proceeds
to weave the concentric lines, stretching
them from one radiating thread to an
other, and forming them of the silk
thickly studded with viscous drops.
Starting from the center of the web,
however, the first few c%oncentric threads
are without this peculiarly, the reason
being that the spider likes to sometimes
sit in the middle Of its web, and natural
ly does not care to be ~incommoded with
the sticky matter which it prepares for
the special benefit of its prey.
When the snare is finished, a task
which often does not occupy more than
forty minutes in spite of the complicated
nature Of the work, the spider weaves a
cell in some secluded spot close at hand.
connecting it with the center of the web
by means of a special thread. This, by
its trembling, gives intimation of the
capture of any insect in the web, and
also forms a pathway by which the
snugly ensconced spider is enabled to
proceed on an investigating expedition.

The Sense of Smell.

The eye is used only for seeing, and
the ear for hearing, but the nose is II
of the organs that serve a double pur-
pose. 1t is not only the seat Of the
sense of smell, but was intended to be
the principal organ through which man
should breathe. It's circuitous passages,
warm and moist, protect the lungs by
taking the chill from the inspired air
and arresting irritating dust.
The whole nose is not concerned in
the act of smelling. The Olfactory
r which alone take cognizance of
odors, are situated in the upper third of
the nasal chambers, out Of the line Of
ordinary inhalation. For this reason we
do not usually notice odors unless they
are somewhat strong; but when we sniff
draw the air into the upper part of
the n~ostrils and hold it there for a few
moments-we become aware of the faint

Work of the Revenue Cutter Service

Of the %, 900 Or sc, 900 vessels that are
every year boarded and thoroughly ex-
amined by officers of the revenue cutter
service. many are found to have side
lights, anchor lights o fog signals of
an efficiency far below what is deemed

gated to a great degree. The benefits Of
the increased safety thus effected are
shared. not only by the seafaring man,
but also by that immense portion of the
travelling public that selects u coast
wise steamers as a means of conveyance

trolling of the coast enables the cutters
promptly to discover and report to the
proper authorities the absence or imper-
lection of buoys. spindles, lightships and

IT Does Not Rain AWAY,

the weather was awful; is rained every

trife monotonous by the end of the
second week. The natives kept proph-
esying sunshine day after day, but he
had lost all faith in them. One day
away up on the side of a heathery hill,
where he had followed a trout stream
almost to its source, he came acros a
tiny, pare legged, killed highlander,
fishing with a pin and worm. Say,
bub," said the American, "does it rain

THOMSON AND HIS RATS.

Was Going to Have Fun Seeing Them
Swim, but They Saw Him Swim Instead.
The question is frequently asked
whence the name of Thomson pond, a
sheet Of water in western Maine extend
ing through four towns and lying part
~ in three counties. Tradition says it
was named from the first settler, Joe
Thomson. During his s~ojourn he was
seriously troubled by rats. He first pro-
vided himself with a stout leather bag
Of the capacity of four bushels. He then
placed an empty hogshead in his log
howell, leaving the bunghole open,
through which he dropped a small guam
tity of meat scraps and crumbs.
Bag in hand he retired outside to
watch proceedings, peeking through a
small creyice between the logs. Pres
entity he espied an old, gray veteran ap-
preaching the bunghole. He takes a
peep, then shifts, looks cautiously about
and then enters. He soon emerges from
the hogshead and quickly disappears.
In a trice he returns, followed by a
drove amounting to hundreds, which one
by n disappear through the bunghole.
Now" chuckled Joe, sis my fun" as
he skipped calmly through the door and
adjusted the open mouth of the bag to
the small aperture, at the same time rap
ping the hogshead with the toe of his
boot, which produced a loud, ringing
sound. With loud squeals and fierce
struggles the frightened rats began to
scramble through the %bunghole, all land
ing in the bottom of the bag.
His first thought was to drown them
by sinking the bag in the pond, but be-
ing in q rather gamesome mood, as was
often the case, he concluded to put the
bag in his boat, and after rowing to a
good distance from the shore then release
them, and with his OK goad have a good
time knocking them in the head.
Rowing out several rods from the
shore and being in high glee at the
thought of wreaking vengeance on the
"yarmints" which had given so much
trouble, he without hesitation united the
bag, expecting to see the frightened crea-
lures at once leap into the water, but he
quickly found himself mistaken.
Instead of fleeing or even r%etreating
the rats charged in a body, and with
teeth and claws SO severely lacerated his
face, neck and hands as to cause him to
leap from the boat and swim for the
shore, leaving the craft in the possession
of his one time victims.-Lewiston Jour
