Save All the Hog but the squeaI.

"But do you sell meat cheaper and
how do you do it," asked Frank G.
Carpenter, of Phillip Armour, the
Chicago packer.
81 will tell you, replied Mr.. Ar
mour. When the ordinary butcher
kills his animals a great part Of the
COW or hog goes to waste. In the
packing houses every bit of the Rni-
nal is saved. 1t is facstiously sad
that we save every bit of the hog ex-
cept his squeal. There are a number
of different works connected with the
packing houses. Take, for instance,
our glue works We use in them every
year waste material which to the ordl-
nary butcher would be worth SOC, 900.
We mix the waste matter with brains
and by scientific manipulation, care
and labor we put 1t through certain
processes by which we turn the $1,000
worth of stuff into products which we
can sell for a million. We send bones
by the ship load across the Pacific.
The japanese buy them and make
buttons and carved work out Of them
Why, some of our bones bring as much
as $3.50 ton. 1t is so with every
atom of the animal Ourprofts come
out of the waste, and it is from these
profits that we can afford to sell better
and cheaper meat than the ordinary
butcher We have at the same time
such large business that we cannot
afford to sell a poor article and while
the people get cheaper meat they at
the same time get better meat. CHI

Wise Words.

Ourheayicst burdens never crush us.
The smaller the soul the bigger a
dollar looks
Some very good sawlogs have big
knots on them.
Friendship, ike phosphorous, gives
its light in the dark
The man who makes his own god al
WAYS has a little one.
A lazy man is always going to do
great things-after awhile.
There are too many people who
never pray until they have to.
In trying to keep all he gets, a
stingy man steals from himself
Some people become very pious as
soon as they get in tight place.
When we cannot understand man,
we are too apt to call him a crank.
When one is low enough to insult
you, be too high for him to reach.
The man who has the most claim
upon US is often the one we have the
least claim upon.
The man who repen.s on a SICK bed
and gets well generally backslides be-
fore he pays his doctor.
Adversely shows true man, as the
night brings out the stars ObScursd
while the sun is shining.
Poverty is an icy wind, and the
higher the situation Of the impovsr-
ished, the colder it blows.
Educating your children is invest
ing at high rate Of dividend. Lay
up in them, and they Will lay up for
themselyes.-Rdm5 Horn

The Colonel Dodged.

W. II. Sutcliffe, a brave soldier Of
the Confederacy, who lost an eye By d
mimic ball striking it, and was wounded
several times, b9th by lead aud sabre,
yesterday told a story Of the late Col
onel Peter c. Gaillard, who was the
Commander Of bis regiment. Mr
Sutcliffe said that it was in Battery
Wagner, on the 18th Of July, 1863,
and the balls and shells were whizzing
by at a great rate. Colonel Gaillard
in going his rounds noticed that as the
balls would go by the men would
dodge. He called out Don't dodge,
boys; you may dodge in the way.
Then he turned and was walking of,
when an Irishmsn named Tom Carey,
a brave man and true, picked up q
tenpenny nail and whizzed it past the
ColoneI's ear. He thought it was
ball, and iDstinctiyely dodged aside,
Carey called out "Ah, be the hus-
tenich, Colonel, yez lodged that one.
Colonel Gaillard, be says, turned
around and laughed and said: well
boys, when they come that close. ]
think we'd better dodge It was not
until after the war was over that he
knew that the missile that whizzsd past
his ear that day was Carey tenpenny
nail and not a Northern bullet

Some Facts About the Fly.

are accountable for They do some
good as scayengers, but that is far
overbalancel by the harm they do,
apart from the discomfort they occa-
sion. There is no doubt that they
carry diseases from one person to an
other, and so help to spread epidem-
les.
Eye complaints are propagted by
certain small species of flies. y fly
Of this sort will alisht on am iudiyid-
ual with an eve trouble and take some
of the germs off with him and deposit
them ON the next unfortunate person
he settles upon Flies also convey IN
fectiou from sores.
Mrs. Fly lays her eggs IN warm re-
fuse or in decaying vegetable matter.
The heat matches these eggs and a lot
of maggots are brought into the world.
After a few days they reach the pupa
stage, and from the pupa emerge short
ly afterwards the perfect winged flies
Thus these pests are generally bred in
stables, which accounts for most peo-
pies great objection to living near
them When the young flies are full
Aedged they fly off and enter any
doors and windows which are left IN
cautiously open, and worry the IN
mates.
Flies ordinarily live about three
weeks. The first cold weather gener-
ally kills most of them, just enough
living through the winter to prop
agate their species A few of the most
sturdy of the females live through
each winter and in the spring lay eggs
before dying and so continue their
kind. They remain torpid during the
cold weather in nooks and crannies'
which accounts for the fact that they
do not bother the human race except
in summer
There are giants and pigmies among
ff~s, Just as there are in the human
race Everybody has noticed how
much smaller some flies are than
others. tits commonly supposed that
these little ones are the young. but
such is not TIN case. A fly does not
grow at all after it has reached the
winged stage. l. attains its full
growth in the larval stage, as do all
other insects.
There is popular notioa that flies
have suckers on their feet which en-
able them to walk on the wajs and
ceilings. This, like many other gem
orally accepted theories, is not Ne
case. They have no suckers on then
feet at all, but have pair of little
cushions and two hooks on the bottom
of each foot. The cushions are COW

Countries Without Clocks.

Liberia, in Africa, has neither clock
nor timepiece Of any sort. The reck-
oning of time is made entirely by the
movement and position Of the sun,
which rises at 6 a. IN. and sets at 6 p.
H.. almost to the minute, all the year
round, and at noon is vertically over
head. The islanders Of the South Pa
cifc have no clocks, but make a curl
Gus time marker of their own. They
take the kernels from the nuts Of the
candle tree and wash and string them
on the rib of a palm leaf The first
or top kernel is then lighted.
All Of the kernels are Of the same
size and substance, and each will burn
a certain number Of minutes and then
set fire to the one next below The
natives tie pieces of black cloth at reg
ular intervals along the string to mark
the divisions Of time.
Among the natives of Singar, in the
Malay Archipelago, another peculiar
device is used. Two bottles are placed
neck and neck, and sand is put in one
of them, which pours itself into the
other every half hour, when the bot
ties are reversed. There Is a line near
by also, on which are hung twelve
rods, marked with notches from one
to twelve. A regularly appointed
keeper attends to the bottles and rods
and sounds the hour upon a gong.

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.

SANTA CLARA'S HARVEST,
Fruit-Growers Begin to Figure
on the Supply and
Demand.
Prices of Apr cots, Peaches and
Prunes Will Not Be Lower Than
Last Year.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 21.-A few sales
of green fruit on the trees have been re-
ported during the past week. The amount
offered indicates that prices will not be
lower than last year, but it is yet little
too early for any fixed price to be offered.
The Gamers have fixed some prices for
apricots and peaches and few purchases
have been made Moorpark apricots have
brought as high as $35 per ton and some
have sold for S32 so. Some apricots that
run twelve to the pound have sold for $50.
A sale of pears at 81 per ton has been re-
ported. There has been no sale of peaches,
but it is said that $40 to $25 has been
offered for cingstones.
Colonel Philo Hersey, president OF the
Santa Clara County Fruit Exchange, in
speaking of the price of prunes yesterday
said: tine price of prunes will be regu-
lated by the prices obtained for the open
ing sales of the dried product. Any per-
son who buys or sells to-day does so
simply upon a basis of speculation or
upon what he believes or imagnes the
market will be. Prunes may be worth $50
or $40. 1t cannot be told what their value
will be because no one can foreteI what
the value of the dried product will be.
81 would not to-day sell green prunes
for $50 per ton, but | may yet be more will
ing to sell them at SIS whenthe price is es-
tablished and the actual sales OF the dried
product begins. l do not see any reason
why the grower should feel uneasy or ex-
hibit undue haste to dispose of green
prunes. There is yet an abundance OF
time before the fruit begins to change
color, and the maket begins to demand
them.''
