Proud and Patriotic.

All the talk ab0utChiIi has at least
proved that she is.a brave and valiant
little nation, ready to fight and die in
defense of her flag q q flag somewhat
like our own. composed Of. red, white
and blue, with a lone star in blue
field. Their hymn is the out-gushing
Of this patriotism, its musical air the
symbolism of its valor.I In regard to-
the national hymn, Chill gives an eX-
ample that would be well for other
nations to initiate, and that is the
outward respect and reverence shown
upon it's performance, whether in a
private parlor or public assembly.
Upon the first chord being struck all
present rise and remain standing un-l
til it's conclusion. Upon all occasions
of ceremony, you hear its stirring
strains. On.cChili's Independence
Day, after the diplomatic dinner at
the "Moneda,"" the President and
Cabinet, with the diplomatic body,
mean time, a vast assemblage has
gathered. As soon as the President
and his guest appearin the boxes the
curtain rises, the proscenilin is beat
titully decorated ~ with flags and
streamers, lsingerss.and chorus are
formed in a semi-crcle ON the stage,
the orchestra strikes up the prelude,,
the whole audience rise fOmntheir

advance to the footlights, each with
a Gillian standard in. the left hand,
the prima donna sings the first verse.
the chorus take up the. "Dulce patria."' ,.
after which the tenor sings the second.

WOnlan's Thrift.


ST men were dis economical i'm
their social relations as women are
we would not be such a nation Of,
spendthrifts,, said. p Bsz=ROse, Of
Minneapolis, atthe Lindell. Il was
impressed With the force of this idea
to-day by an observation. begun in a
cable car and pursued through a dry
goods establishment and a restau-
rant. .. ] saw two ladies chatting to-.
gether intimately on car. and when
the conductor approached them to
collect the fares one OF them had no
change The other offered tO.pay for
Der companions ride, bat the latter
wouldn't submit to the proposition.
Instead she borrowed q nickel from
her friend. rcmarking a. she did 50
that she would break q bill as soon as
she got down town and repay her.
My curiosity was excited to see If
women, really dealt that way With
one an0ther,s so / followed the two
after theVggOt off tho car. They dir6t
entered a" dryg0Ods store, where the
borrower made d small Purchase and
as soon as She got her change She.
handed her friend five cents. which
was received without the slightest
protest. Then they went into d res
taQrant to get LUNCH. Each gave
separate orders and the bill Of each
amounted to thirty cents. They
marched up TO the cashier and each
paid. her own bill. Now, these are
small transactions, but they are in
dicatiye OF the difference in the char
acter Of men and women. Had the
objects Of nay observations been men
instead Of women, the man who Of
fered to borrow nickel for car fare
would have insulted the other and
one Of them would have ordered that

The blood is all utilized for different
commercial purposes; the ON-tail trade

made from the feet and the hoofs are

of the bullock that has been largely in

the dressed beef trade in Chicago.
The processes of dressing and clean

interesting. After leaving the main

The dressed beef business can only
subsist, III Wholesale way at least, at
the great central markets Of the cOun-

supported by a host Of retailers, who,
instead OF being butchers on the old
stvle. have become merely meat cutters.

This Industry has naturally created a.
revolution among the retail butchers

to repair to the slaughter-house, select
his beef from the refl'igerators, or con-
tract for q daily or weekly supply to be
sent him. AT outside points he calls at
the refrigerator where the meats are I'M
loaded from the ears, and there makes
his purchases. Formerly the retail
butcher who did his own killing had 70
have a much larger capital invested in
his business than is now~required, nor
could he gethis supplies so reasonably
as he is now enabled TO purchase them.
