That the work of the bureau of anil

great deal OF interest and attention
across the water was made once more
evident some time ago, when a dele
cation OF experts, sent especially from
France, to examine the system OF opera
tion, SO as to see whether 1t really is
calculated to prevent the expectation OF
unhealthy or infected meat, thoroughly
overhauled the bureau in its various
branches. This delegation became
thoroughly satisfied OF the efficiency OF
the work done by the bureau, and In its
report to the home Government honest
ly stated this to be the case.

Congress passed o law on March 3,
1891, providing for the inspection OF live
and dead cattle and hogs intended for
Interstate commerce or export. The act
was passed on the last day OF that SEES
sion, and in the hurry IL was forgotten
to make sufficiently large appropria-
ton to enable the Department OF Agri-
culture to thoroughly carry out the pro-
visions of the law AS a consequence
the work of the bureau OF animal
industry-that is the official title--which
is conducted in and near the Chicago
stockyards, is not as comprehensive as
the trainers of the actintended 1t should
be. 1t is claimed, just the same, that in
spite OF this deficiency potent results OF
the activity of the bureau have become
apparent within the short space OF it's
existence. 1t is owing entirely TO the
inspection made right here that the Eu-
ropean markets have been thrown open
to our animal food products.
With the limited means as yet at the
disposal of the bureau, il is not possible
TO inspect all the meats sent out from
the stockyards, but only that portion OF
them intended for export. There are
now working under DR.. Hickman, the
chief OF the bureau, force of male and
female employees altogether numbering

eighteen veterinarian inspectors attend
to the examination of live cattle. About
eighty-fve veterinarians and their IS
sistants and taggers take care OF the
inspection of the slaughtered cattle and
hogs intended for export. Il force of
forty is constantly busy testing the pork
for trichin@ by means of the microscope,
and about thirty clerks and bookkeepers
do all the writing and figuring that is
required for the bureau.
The large firms Of exporters for whom
this work OF the Chicago bureau is now
regularly being done do not comprise,
by any means, all who are there IN this
line of business, but-so it Is claimed
by the department-they were the first
to make application for this systematic
inspection, having been quickest and
readiest to see the advantages, in a
commercial sense, to be reaped from
this official Endorsement Of their goods
on the part of Uncle Sam. And as the
fund available for expenditure in this
line by the Department of Agriculture
does not reach any further the bene-
fits of this official inspection still
accrue to only number Of firms. AS far

France fought against Russia in
the Crimean war, not because it had
any quarrel with that country, but
because Napoleon III. thought his
future interests would be served best
by entering into an alliance with the
English. The Russian and French
soldiers had no animosities, and when
an occasion offered during cessation
OF hostilities, fraternized in the most
friendly way. They exchanged arti-
cles of food and drink, and called one
another "comrade."
AT one time, during a truce, a
squad of French soldiers who had
been sent as an escort to officers who
were engaged in pourparlers was sur
rounded by large party OF Russians.
The soldiers of the two nationalities
were trying to communicate.
A big Cossack stepped up and as
sured his companions, in his own
tongue, that he could speak French.
He was put forward as spokesman.
"Auance, cam'rade!" he called out.
A French soldier stepped toward
him.
"Apporte, rhum!" said the Cossack.
1t happened that one Of the French
soldiers had flask of rum, an article
which was rather plentiful in the
Crimea at that time. He brought il
forward and handed it to the Cos.
sack, who swallowed several mouth
fuls from the bottle.
"Couche, cam 'rade!" was the Rus
slams next remark.
The Frenchman was somewhat puZ.
zled by this request, as coucher sig
mites to lie down, and he could not
imagine why the Russian wished to
have him lie down at that time; but
he decided that the man desired that
he should initiate the action of the
English soldiers, part of whose tao
tics in battle was continual lying
down upon the ground.
The Frenchman accordingly min.
licked the pOnderous movements of an
English grenadier in getting down
upon the ground, and the perform
ance was highly pleasing to the Rus
slams
The Russians, Moreover, were
greatly delighted to see this proof OF
the extraordinary proficiency of one
OF their countrymen-from the plains
OF the Don, too-in speaking the
French language. AT this moment
the French soldiers were called to
Attention" and the interview
ceased. A Russian officer called the
soldier who had distinguished him
self by his fluency in French, and
said to him:
"Cossack, who taught you to talk
French so well?"
my brother, sir" said the Cossack.
"He took care Of the colonel's dogs
last year"
swell, what have the dogs to do
with your French?"
"Ah, sir, they talk to the hunting
dogs in French. When they want
them to come, they say, 'Avance.'
When they want them to fetch a
thing they say, 'Apporte,' and when
they want them to lie down they say,
COuchen
Those three words were all the
French the Cossack knew, for rhum
may be said to be current in all Eu-
ropean languages. Probably repu-
tation as a linguist was never gained
on smaller capital.

Poor Mother.

So many pathetic stories are told
of the misery caused by hunters in
the animal world that one can scarce
ly tolerate the idea of shooting mere
ly for sport" When the term means
merely wanton cruelty, then it is
time to seek more peaceful If less ex-
citing occupations. A story is told of
a polar bear which, with two large
cubs, was sighted by the crew of an
exploring frigate. When the animals
were within reach of the vessel, the
sailors threw them great Jumps of
sea-horse flesh, and these the old
bear divided among her cubs, re-
serving only a small portion for her
self. Then, when the three animals
were happily feeding, the sailors
fired. They wounded the dam and
killed the cubs.
1t would have drawn tears Of pity
from any but the unfeeling to have
marked the affectionate concern ex-
pressed by this poor beast in the last
moments of her expiring young.
Though she w0s dreadfully wounded,
she tore another lump Of flesh in
pieces and laid it before them.
When she found that they would
not eat, she laid her paws first on
one and then the other, and tried to
raise them up; all this time it was
pitiful to hear her moan. When she
was convinced that they would not
stir, she walked away, looking back
and still moaning; and when that
did not entice them to rise she re-
turned and began to lick their
wounds.
She went of second time as be-
fore, and having crawled a few PAGES
looked again behind her. The cubs
did not rise, and she returned, and
with signs of inexpressible fondness
went round paving them and moan
ing. Finding at last that they were
cold and lifeless, she raised her head
toward the ship and uttered growl
) of despair, which the murderers re-
| turned with volley of balls. Then
she fell between her cubs and died,
! licking their wounds.

Betrayed bv His own CuriosIty.

During the Mohammedan festival
of the Bairam, an inhabitant of the
village of Funduckli, in Turkey, had
dressed his child, about two years
old, in shawl and a cap ornamented
with pieces of gold, and intrusted 1t
to a slave, who had left 1t for mo.
ment seated in the court Of the
house, On his return the child was
gone, and every search for it proved
fruitless. The father applied to the
seraskier (the military commander Of
the district), entreating him to in
quire into the circumstances. This
officer reflected that the child could
not be carried far, on account Of its
cries, and therefore must have been
taken by one of the neighbors. He
did not communicate this idea to any
one, but directed one Of his messen-
gers TO go to the village of Funduckli
at the hour of prayer, to enter the
mosque, and summon the Imam Tor
priest) to come Immediately to his
palace.
When the imam came into the
presence of the seraskier, he received
positive Injunction to come TO him
again on the morrow and give him
the name OF the person who first
came to inquire Of him the cause OF
his being sent for by the seraskier.
The Turks in general pay little at
tention to the affairs of others-not
even those Of their priests; conse-
quently, on returning to the mosque,
one man only came to him to ask the
cause of so sudden summons. The
imam replied that it was only in re-
lation to a flrman which he was to
have read, but which was withdrawn.
On being informed by the imam Of
what had passed, the seraskier
caused the inquisitive man to be
arrested; and after considerable
search the body Of the child was found
concealed under the staircase of his
house. The inquisitive criminal was
sentenced to be instantly drowned.

old cows-by the inspectors. Occasion
ally, though, young and vigorous steer
is also found infected with it. This dis
ease, of course, is plainly detected after
death, the condition of the lungs at
once revealing 1t. Other things that
the inspectors occasionally find in dead
cattle are pyemia and septic@mia,
also Texas fever and actinomices or
"lumpy Jaw" Cases OF that, of course,
are sufficient ground for conforming

fractures may merely lead to rejec-

sunices to change the houseless prairie

suffices to change the houseless prairie
into busy town teeming with its
thousands and all their varied inter-
ests. When the first day of existence
closed on Oklahoma $500 people had
come there and the number was still
increasing. From every section Of
the country, from every grade of So
ciety, with the most diverse objects,
these people had come. But one in
tention was common to them ALL to
found city, and at once the erection
of dwellings was begun. From that
time the putting up of public build
ings, the opening OF shops, and
the continual improvement Of
buildings already put up has gone
on without pause. First were
erected mere canvas tents, then small
and uncomfortable wooden structures,
and these, in time, gave place to
splendid edifices of brick and stone.
Innumerable instances might be cited
Of this development, but one of the
most characteristic is the change in
the postoffice. This at first was a
shed Of rough boards, roughly nailed
together. In little oyer years
time this gave place to splendid
three-storied building of brick and
stone which would be credit to any
community. Such is the case all over
the city. Within the three years of
the city's existence stone banks and
stores and theaters have been built,
rows of brick dwelling houses and
hundreds of tasteful wooden cottages,
besides churches and mills, have been
erected. There are three or four
newspapers, law courts and boards Of
trade. Such is Oklahoma's material

How women Battle In Paris.


The Seine is narrow, greenish,
inviting from distance. But on
entering the swimming baths formed
of boat-like sides, containing the
dressing-rooms, it looks clear and
cool. Black bathing dresses trimmed
with red braid can be hired for a
franc upward, and hundreds of ladies,
with their children, daily afford
themselves amusement at these places.
There is no effort at fashion, gentle
men not admitted, and the top being
covered by canvas to shield them
from the eyes of people on embank-
ment or boulevards. Swimmers
among the attendants are frequent,
and they dive and float, swim and
sink at will, and teach the children
and ladies to do the same.
Some of the French women are
expert swimmers, and they go around
in their black, baggy suits, chasing
about the platforms, eating sand
witches or drinking penny syrups or
clarets and end the performance by
diving into the water and swimming
a race. Trapezes, swings, etc., are
suspended above the water and gym
nastic exercises are INDUCED in by
the younger and more ambitious.
On leaving the baths they dry their
hair sufficiently, put a crimped

these samples taken from the pork mar

This test, let it be remembered, refers
to just this one thing: The absence or
presence of trichine in the meat. There
may be other parasites in these sam
pies, or there may be disease germs or
evidences of putrefaction, etc., etc.
With all of that the microscopic has
nothing to do. His sole and simple
duty is to determine whether in the
samples submitted to him there are
trichinR, yes or no. But so far as this
test is concerned it is very thorough
and painstaking.
From each of the three tiny bits of
meat the microscopic ships off three
small fragments with pair of sharp
scissors. This mite of raw meat is next
transferred to a glass slide-scraped
