BOOM IN IRON TRADE.
Demands for Higher Grades Of Ore Ar
Increasing.


Increasing.
Philadelphia, Aug. THE boom in
the iron trade has caused such a de-
mand for the higher grades of iron ore
that a contract has Just been closed for
the shipment of 10000 tons Of ore from
the mines Of the Spanish-American Iron
company, at Dahquari. Cuba. to this
city. The ore will be brought to piers
here especially constructed for this
business and thence distributed to the
furnaces along the lines of the railroads
centering in Philadelphia.
This contract follows one announced
recently. by which $4,000 tons of iron
ore were to be brought here from the
same mines in Cuba. This has only
been partially completed, as the war in
Cuba has interfered very largely with
the mining of the ore, owing to the de-
sertion OF the miners, who have left
their work to Join the ranks Of the in
surgents.

HUSBAND.BEATER JAILED.

Souudly Thrashcd Her Bcttcr.Ilalf.
A chronic husband-beater, Mary Fee
ney, of Tenth street. was committed to
the county Jail for fifteen days by AL
derman Fuller yesterday morning.
Mrs. Feeney cruelty followed her llus-
band through the streets. abusing him
in the most violent manner with her
tongue, and stoning him. After driving
him from post to pillar, she grabbed
him by the coat collar and kicked him
home, where two officers rescued him
as his wife had him downed on the
floor beating him numerically.
Feeney was pretty badly used up and
presented a pitiable sight when his
better half got through with him. The
neighbors are highly indignant over the
outrage.

The operation is about the same
as killing beef. The horses are
driven up the inclined roadway
from the corralls and each is en-
closed in pen. The executioner
strikes them on the head with a
sledge-hammer. The doors Of the
pen are lifted and the carcasses
drawn out on the floor and expedi-
tiouslv dressed and hung up.
Trenches in the floor and chutes
carry the offal out Of sight, and, in
short time, a number of carcasses
are suspended by the gambrels
from iron hooks above.
The pile of hoofs in one corner,
pile of horse-tails in another, and
the length and slimness of the legs
on the "quarters," as they hang
on the hooks, are all that would in.
dictate, to an inexperienced person,
that anything unusual had been
going on. The flesh of the horse
is darker than that of good beef.
There are certain variations to
the customary method of convert
ing a live horse into an edi BILE one,
which deserve mention. Horses
which had been killed in the cars,
or had broken their necks run
ming down an embankment trying
to get away" as one butcher said,
must not be allowed to 60 to waste.
So they were gotten out of the
way very expeditiously. The legs
were cut off at the knees, the name
and tail removed, a slit made the
whole length of the skin and the
head and part of the neck Invested
of the epidermis. Then a rope
was made fast to the loosened skin
and chain put around the neck
and fastened to the trunk of an ap-
pie tree. A team of horses was
hitched to the rope and the entire
skin thus pulled off. A few cuts
and slashes and the carcasses were
in the steam tank being converted
into fertilizer.
This is, in brief, the way horses
are killed for eating in the first
establishment of its kind in Amer
lea. 1t is not intended that any of
the meat shall be offered for sale
here; nor is there any part of the
establishment dev oted to canning.
The company will not can horses,
at least at present. Only the hams
will be picked for export. The
offal will be converted into ferti-
lizer and made into other market.

SOME STATISTICS OF FISH.

tries Of the World I'm the Fishing
industries.
New York Sun.
The United States stand at the head
of the nations of the world in respect
OF the amount of fish caught, the
value of the same and the number OF
men engaged in fisheries. In respect
OF the number of ships employed in
fisheries, there are $4,000 in the Unit
ed States, $4,000 in Great Britain, 81,
600 in Norway, $4,000 in France and
$4,000 in Italy. The world over,
100000 men maintain themselves
from the lsbors of fishermen, and of
these $780, are in the United States.
France follows with 100000, Great
Britain with 10000 and Norway with
10000. The next highest is Russia
with $4,000. In respect OF the num-
Der of tons OF fish caught each year,
the United States stand first, and
Great Britain comes next.
The average value of the fisheries of
the world is in year $4,000 900,
and to these figures the United States
contributes nearly 50,0OOOOO. With
fish of course are included oysters,
CLANS, scallops, crabs, Holsters and
shrimps. The whale fisheries do not
amount to much nowadays, and two
States may be said to monopolize the
whale fisheries OF the United States-
Massachusetts and California. In the
catch of fish Massachusetts stands at
the head Of the political divisions of
the United States, and Alaska comes
second. New Jersey outranks New
York. Maine outranks both. The
oyster and clam interests of the coun.
try are not as we'll diversified as the
fisheries. Maryland comes first, then
New York, then Virginia and then
New Jersey. Florida ranks near the
top in the value OF its annual fisher
les. Twenty-eight of the Al States
have a revenue OF some sort from fish
cries, that being highest in Massachu-
sets, with $S,OOO.OOO a year, and low
est among the States in Minnesota,
with $50, 600.
The herring fisheries OF Scotland are
at the head of the list for herrings.
They amount in year to 10000 tons.
In the catch of Goldfish Norway comes
first. Haddock is largely caught in
the waters of England, salmon in Ire
land and sardines in Spain, Italy and
France. In the United States, Cali
fornia is making the largest strides
in the development OF its fisheries.

A LARGE spider, measuring four and
q half inches from the tip of one foot
to the other has caused considerable
attention at Arthur Needham's store.
The monster spider came here in q
bunch of bananas, and is now on ex.
hibition at the store. 1t drinks water
and devours flies with great relish.
1t is mistaken by many for tarantula
but it differs in many respects from
the tarantuls. There are several large
species of the spider family which are
closely allied to the tarantula, and is
undoubtedly the Lycosa Narbonnensis,
whose habits are somewhat similar to
the tarantula, living in a pit in the
ground, at the mouth of which it sits
and waits to seize its prey, which it
drags into its pretty parlor to devour.
1t is of a gray or drab color.-Shelton

Dig esiiye Disorders In Summer.

The death rate from acute disorders
OF the digestive organs is so markedly
increased among infants and young
children during the summer that it is
the imperative duty of all having the
care of children to become acquainted
with the causes of these diseases and
how to prevent them.
Every organ is endowed with the
power OF self-protection in proportion
to the organic soundness of its struc-
ture. and the perfection of its func-
tons. The digestive fluids are all an
tiseptics; and, when in health, either
destroy or prevent the multiplication
OF disease germs.
The saliva, gastric juice, pancreatic
fluid, intestinal juice and bile, all do
their best to destroy the dangerous
living organisms entering the alimen-
tary canal. But they are liable to be
overpowered by the inroads of more
enemies than they can destroy, or,
abused and crippled by over work in
digesting food improper in quality and
quantity, to become so depraved and
weakened in their action as partially
or entirely to lose the power to prevent
disease.
In warm weather disease germs
grow rapidly, finding in the increased
amount of decaying organic matter
good soil in which to flourish.
The universal custom of allowing
children to form the habit OF eating
and drinking at all times and in all
places, regardless of the kind, guam
tity, or quality of food or drink, has
cost many lives-just how many no
statistics will ever be able to deter
mine.
Were all children, and grown people,
too, taught regular habits of eating
and drinking, and did those caring
for children understand the import
ance of clean food and drink, and how
to secure them, diarrhoea, cholera in
fantum, cholera morbus, dysentery,
and the more grave disorders OF chd(-
era and typhoid fever. would soon be,
to a great extent, stamped out.
The precaution OF instructing child
rem and youth, to form the habit of
controlling thirst when the water sup
ply is likely to be infected, or when
travelling, is also important. Desire
for drink is much increased or de-
creased by the kind OF food eaten.

feet.
Traf, has very short hair of n warm
fawn color, trim legs and tail, rather
small feet, sharp ears, almost erect,
narrow head, and long, pointed nose.
One evidently is very fond Of water, the
other hangs back in fear. There must
be n reason for all this. Can we ex-
plain it? Let us try.
Ponto is Newfoundland dog; he be-
longs to n cold climate; of course he
must have warm clothing. His native
home is an island in the ocean, there
fore he was made with an intense love
for the water, and broad, fiat feet that
serve as paddles in propelling him
through the waves, enabling him to
swim with great rapidity. Traf, on the
contrary, is from land of sunshine
and flowers; he loves to lie ut full
length upon the soft rug before the
CRATE while Ponto is rolling over and
over in a snow bank. He is very fond of
running and can far outstrip his shay
gy mate in the race; for this reason his
hair is short that it may not lessen his
speed, and his nose is sharp to cleave
the air. Ponto follows his prey by the
sense of smell, or scent, as it is called.
! Traf, with contracted nostrils, and
| therefore less acute smell, discovers
his by sense of vision. This enables
him to discern objects ut q greater dis
lance, while his speed soon brings him
near. These same powers afford to
each means of protection from enc
mics.
Dear children, if the great Creator of

Henry NJ. Stanley has been heard
from again. He has about completed
his autobiography, which will tell of
his travels and adventures. Having
embalmed himself in book. he will
stand for parliament In the next gen.

Mrs. George w. Cable, the wife of
the novelist, is one of the most beauti-
full women seen in literary circles. She
has forget-me-not blue eyes, an oval
face, perfectly regular features and a
complexion like white rose leaf-all
this though her hair is white and her
oldest daughter just married.
The prince of Wales last year re-
ceived $4,000 from the duchy Of
Cornwall estates The property has
been well managed since Prince Albert
took 1t in hand fifty years ago, and the
income from rents and from royalties
from mines has greatly increased.

President Cleveland is said to be
apparently in better health ut present
than for several years past. There is
an expression of content on his ex-
pansive face, and in place of his former
irritation of manner he displays a
cheerfulness that approaches amiabil-
ity. In other ways he shows signs OF
return of good health.
"A collection of six manuscript and
LOO printed versions of the Limitation
of Christ" Of Thomas Kempis was
sold lately in London for $3.50, sum
which probably would not cover even
the expressage paid by the collector.
To make a complete collection of all
the editions of this book is one of the
impossible feats of book collecting.
j. Takasusu, Japanese A. b. Of
Oxford, has translated into English a
description of India and the Malay
islands, written 1,200 years ago by l.

book describes the monastic life OBJ
served by the author in India, and con-
tains great deal of information about
geography, chronology and literature.
The bishop of Chester, England, is
still working at his licensing reform

reform is that of compensation. The
bishop is at present at work with the
best and highest legal advice drawing
up as fair statement as possible
first, of the case of the trade; and Sec
ondly, of the case of the nation. He
hopes to show how an equitable bal
ance of consideration can be struck
between those two great interests, and
many will wish him success in this en-
deavor.
Gen. Lew Wallace proposes to find
out why he was not compelled to pay
duty at the Detroit custom house on a
copy of ben Hur" which he bought
on train in Canada while on his way
to Detroit the other day. Among 4
pile of books which the train boy
threw down beside him he found pa
pcr-covered volume of his own work,
which the boy offered to him for TWEEN
ty-hve cents. AS the book can not be
purchased in this country for less than
one dollar and fifty cents, owing to the
copyright, the general was somewhat
disturbed in his mind, and this feeling
appears TO be justified, if it is really
true, as he says, that he has only re.
ceived fifteen cents from foreign pub
fishers on book that has been trans
lated into several languages. --Boston
