A PECuLIAR PROPOSITION.


Want the Jewish Method of SIaugh-
tering Made Compulsory by Law.
BOISE CITY, IDAHO, Feb. ia large
number of physicians and many of the
prominent meat dealers OF Idaho have had
introduced in the lower branch of the legis-
lature a bill of peculiar character. The
trainers Of the proposition desire that each
county in Idaho shall organize and main
tein board for the examination of butch-
ers, and that no butcher who shall not se-
cure from one OF these boards a certificate
of proficiency in his trade shall be permitted
to Kill food animals. In petition sent in
with the bill, its supporters say that they
view with great alarm the present condition
OF the meat trade in Idaho. Inexperienced
men are, as a general thing, employed as
slaughterers, and they allow as much blood
to remain in the meat as they succeed in ex-
tracing. This blood creates fermentation
and renders the meat unhealthful. The
same buDgling men fail to re- move the hides
II the animals uutil certain poisonous
humors have thoroughly permeated the
flesh, running its good qualities and causing
It's consumers En- be afflicted with unsightly
nnples. The trainers Of the bill recon-
mend the adoption, by legislative enact
mem, OF the Jewish method Of slaughteriug
food ANIMALS.

FINE Art AND COCKTAILS.
The Peculiar Business OF a Chicago
Connoisseur in Two Specialties.

The Peculiar Business OF q Chicago
Connoisseur in Two Specialties.
From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
Wholesale dealer in fine art and whisky"
is what successful Chicago man with an
Office in the Ashland block calls himself.
1t is his business to transfer the MASTER
pieces Of the French painters from the walls
of the Paris salon to those of the Chicago
saloons. With every keg of old rye the
Chicago gin-mill gets an old master. and
with each picture goes the papers which
guarantee its authenticity. OF course
the paintings do not permanently leave the
possession OF this peculiar patron of the
fine arts. They are simply lent or leased
for the time being to the particular saloon
keeper who wishes to transform his place
into an art gallery.
Already this alcoholic connoisseur has
S250,000 invested in painted canvas His
collection numbers 163 paintings, among
them being fine examples of Auguste- Felix
Clement, Gustave Wertheimer, Leon Pal
lierd, Jules Scalbert, Anton Series, and
Jules Ferry. In return for the large monthly
rental paid the saloonkeeper has been al
lowed to sell to his patrons photographs of
snch of the paintings as might catch their
eyes, and in this way has sprung I'D a busi-
ness which interferes materially with the
income of the regular art dealer. So sue
cesSful, In fact, from commercial point of
view, has been this peculiar combination of
cocktails and fine art that Mr.. Gebble, the
senior member Of a Philadelphia art firm,
has come on to Chicago to prevent by In

photographs of Wertheimer's famous "Re>

and bought photograph Of the painting

the Flowers he said. "and it is copy
righted. II you sell any more photo

sue you for damages"
But the saloonkeeper had a certified
check for $4,000 in his possession, guaran-
teeing the genulneness Of the big canvas,
and he told Mr.. Gebbie to 90 ahead with
bis legal proceedings. Then Mr. Gebbie

look at the painting more critically. 1t

stretcher was stamped his crest Ia red wax
Mr.. Gebbie was puzzled. Then he was
shown letters from Wertheimer himself and
they explained the apparent mystery.
Several years ago" he wrote, II painted

idea where it is now" Mr.. Gebbie adj
mitted that his picture was much amaller
than the one before him, but be was still
not satisfied. He left the place vowlng that
all the powers of the law should be invoked
to stop the outrage.

Advantages Gained BY Waking the
Steam Do Double Duty.
From the Philadelphia Record
At a recent meeting Of the German AS
ISOLATION Of Engineers, the chief of the To-
connective departing Mt Of the Prussian state
railway stated that the trials of the COM
pound locomotive by the Prussian govern
ment indicate the superiority OF the
compound over the simple system
in the following points: Greater total
amount Of work performed, increased econ
omy III the use of fuels, reduction in spark
throwing. At the International railway
congress at st. Petersburg the French en-
glneers were not unanimous on the subject.
The representatives of the French state
railways and of the Paris and Lyons COM
pRny asserted as their opinion that hitherto
tests have practically shown that in coun-
tries where coal is cheap the changing of
ordinary into compound locomotives, or
the building, at the outset, of compound
locomotives is not likely to lead TO any ad-
vantage; where coal, however, is dear, the
building Of new compounds. and the re-
building Of old single engines TO work on
the compound system, and the adoption OF
higher steam pressure are advisable.
With the two-cyliuder compounds at least =,
1t has been found that there is no increase
in cost for oil, maintenance, etc, as CONS
pared with ordinary locomotives. Stats
tics were given, showing that the number
OF compound loo motives in use has been
increased IN less than three years from about
$50 to 1853. The Gwo-cylinder compound
locomotives increased in number from 522
to 1871, the three-cylinder compounds from
SO to los, and the four-cylinder engines
from SO to 379

a Fascinating Politician.

Within the memory of middle aged peo-
pie woman died at great age in one of the
middle states whose recollection', had they
been published, would doubtless have thrown
light on many obscure passages OF our early
history, says the Youths Companion. She
was the daughter of man eminent in the
political struggles OF the first years of the
republic. One anec 1ote, which she often
related, gave the details of a dramatic
chapter in the life of Aaron Burr.
Miss Blank, then beautiful girl OF IL,
went with her father to Richmond TO wit.
ness the trial OF Burr. Her father was one
OF his prominent political enemies, and she
had been taught to coll Burr the arch
traitor, and TO denounce him with the
wrath Of an ignorant child.
Burr was released on bail during the trial.
The day after Miss Blanks arrival she re-
ceived a beautiful and costly basket of
flowers from him. The next evening he
called upon her as he had done upon all
the ladies at the hotel
So winning was his manner, so appar-
emily sincere his words, that Miss Blank
was led TO believe in his innocence.
On the day of trial, Burr's friends and
enemies took opposite sides of the little
court room. In her old age Miss Blank
confessed that on entering the court room,
she dropped her fathers arm, and seated
herself among Burr's friends, And" she
cried trtumphantIy, every woman present
many Of them the wives and daughters
OF his opponents-was upon that
side of the court room" Her
triumph was short-lived. Her father
led her out of the court room, and gives it
us a significant insight into the customs of
the time to know that he took her 20 her
room, locked her into it, and kept her there
during the trial.

OF his guilt. Yet such was the power of his
gentle, sincere manner that to this day

brilliant and harmless as sheet-lightning
A malignant word, even against his foes,
never passed his lips. Els ambition was

to prove that practice makes perfect His first
master was Dutchman, who set him at work

was quite ILL., The master then set the young
painter at work On a block of marble, which he
was made to copy day after day and week after

ever after Mr.. Tadema was able to paint mar
