Value of a Dead Horse.

The horse carcass is of more present
value for it's chemical products than the
living animal. The carcass is first re-
lieved of its hair by a shaving process.
The tail and name are especially valu-
able: from these is made haircloth.
The short hair taken from the hide Is
used for stuffing cushions and horse
collars.
The hide is valuable; the leather
known as cordovan is made from the
skin over the rump and used in the
manufacture of high-class hunting and
wading boots, as it can be made i'm
pervious to water. The other leather
is soft and is used mostly for slippers
and heavy driving gloves. The hoofs
are boiled to extract the oil; the horny
substance is shipped to the manufact-
cries of combs and what are known as
Mikado goods
The carcass is cooked by steam at a
pressure of three atmospheres. This
separates the flesh from the bones.
The leg bones are very hard and white,
and are used for handles of pocket and
table cutlery The ribs and head are
burned to make bone black after they
have been treated for the glue that is
e3A~S~
bones the vapors arising are condensed
and form the chief source of carbonate
of ammonia, which constitutes the base
of nearly all ammoniacal salts. There
is an animal oil yielded in the cooking
process which is a deadly poison and
enters into the composition Of many in
secticides and vermifuges.
The bones to make glue are dissolved
in muriatic acid dissolved in boiling
water, cast into squares and dried on
nets. The phosphate of lime. acted
upon by sulphuric acid and calcined
with carbon. produces phosphorus for
lucifer matches. The remaining flesh
is distilled to obtain carbonate of am
monia The resulting mass is pounded
up with potash and then mixed with old
nails and iron of every description.
The whole is calcined and yields yellow
crystals of prussiate of potash, with
which tissues are dyed Prussian blue
and iron transformed into steel. 1t
also forms cyanide of potassium and
prussic acid.

HOW TO SETTLE 1T.
Only One Way Out OF the silver Question,
Saw Congressman Warner

Only One Way Out OF the SILVER Question,
sayo Congressman Warner.
Ex-Congressman John De Witt War
ner opposes ex-Congressman Richard p.
Bland in discussion CT the money
question in the New York Journal OF
July l. Unlike many eastern men, Mr..
Warner has high opinion of the abil-
ity, character and motives of the silver
people. He thinks that both the leaders
and those in the ranks of the 16 to /
army are earnest, industrious, sober and
God fearing American citizens, who are
smarting under actual grievances as to
the real cause of which they areggreatly
mistaken. We quote the following as a
part of Mr.. Warmers views:
This proposed law TO make people &C.
cept silver is not asked for by anybody
who wants silver. 1t is just because
people do not want silver and will not
take it unless compelled to do so that
our free silver friends want a law to
make them take it, The only people
who want the law are, therefore, not
those who want silver, but those who
want to get rid CT silver, or who, owing
gold and thinking they can buy silver
more cheaply, want to make their cred
itors take it instead 1t may be said
that, rs to future matters, we could
make special contracts calling for gold.
That is just what they can do now in
regard to silver. AS matter of fact, q
large and increasing proportion of con-
tracts do provide specially for payment
in gold. 1t is significant that no one
hears of silver contracts. The reason is
no one prefers silver except for the pur-
pose Of forcing it upon some one else.
The most serious feature of the pres
ent situation is not so much the predica-
ment in which we find ourselves as the
apparent disposition in both parties not
to take the only way out, which, if l
may suggest it, is to accept the situa-
tion that the commerce of the world has
created for itself, to recognize its gen
eral acceptance of the gold standard,
and, leaving to commerce the things
that belong to commerce, to resist any
attempt at interference either by our
own government independently or by
any combination between it and those
of other nations.
Personally I believe gold to be far
superior to any other standard that is
even remotely practicable, but if our
commerce preferred silver L should con-
slider it measureless impertinence ON the
part of congress to interfere with that
preference. And so, certain as am that
our commerce finds it more profitable
and natural to use gold as standard, l
am oil the more opposed to any attempt
by congress to interfere with the natural
course of business. u " y Bad as would be
the effect of free silver, more and more
of us are concluding that few years of
apprehension and financial paralysis,
such as we have had, would be more
damaging than the actual experience of
free coinage of silver, trial Of which
would at least establish certain facts
and destroy sundry decisions.

Chenp Chinese Wool.

1t is not, perhaps, generally known
that the wool industry of America is
being seriously threatened not only
from the rapid increase in the produc-
ton of sheep in the Argentine Republic,
Australia, Canada and some European
countries, but also in China. Twenty
five years ago there were no imports into
this country of China woods. In 1870
there were 9,016 pounds of China wool
imported, of the value of but $1,312,
the import price per pound then being
10. As cents; whereas in the present year
(1895) the imports of China wool have
reached 26, 089, AIS pounds, of the value
of 81, 699,414 the import price per
pound being g.. 10 cents. This China
wool, moreover, has been demonstrated
to be equal to our low grade of merino
wool.-Hon. John II. Mitchell.

Finished With "Liquid Zinc" Because the
Rags Are Light Weight.
BRADFORD, June &c

BRADFORD, June 90.
Talking to one of our leading worst
ed coating manufacturers and discuss
ing pointedly the large volume of trade
Bradford was doing with your side, he
accidentally said:
do you know that thousands of clay
worsteds which are being sent TO Amer
lea are being finished with liquid zinc?"
Liquid zinc" | said in utter aston
ishment. whats that?'
"Why, 1 understand that it's simply
zinc, melted or boiled into thin LIQUID
and applied to worsted coatings in the
finishing process.
As appeared flabbergasted, he blurt-
ed off abruptly, tits quite right what
l say. for was told few days ago by
finisher who has finished thousands
by this process. -
"Then explain to me further, 1 said
anxiously.
Every well. You, being an expert
enced man in the Yorkshire trade, know
that orders for thousands of pieces have
been given out by American buyers
(this was last August) at such a low
price that manufacturers hardly know
how to put them together for the mon
ey. Those pieces ordered must weigh,
according to contract, SO many ounces
to the yard at such and such price.
Observation-Disclosures soon found out that
if they give full weight of honest mate
rial, according to agreement, no profit
would result whatever. So, in order to
make ends meet with more alacrity and
margin, they are simply turning 16
ounce clay worsteds by this zinc process
in finishing into Is ounce, adding at
least 2 ounces to the yard of this injuri-
GUS material. That, of course, means a
nice profit to the maker instead of a GER
tain loss, for zinc, of course, is cheaper
than worsted. "

vestigate further from q reliable cloth

Of finished pieces. Knowing him init
mately, turned the conversation on to
this very subject
eyes" said he, 'you are right i'll
your statement. But liquid zinc is rath-
er too fine name for this ignominious
process. We are finishing today thou
sands of pieces yearly and weighing
them falsely with flour, EPSON salts,
salts of lead and salts of zinc, and
though the pieces when finished give no
perceptible signs of containing this
health injurious matter, yet there it is
in the piece, giving to the cloth an in
creased weight, when really the actual
weight Of the piece is several pounds
lighter than the scale shows it to be. +"
Pig manure may be useful in scour
ing cloth and necessary to the British
rag manufacturer, but of these delete
rious matters with which the cloth is
impregnated in the last process before
being worn and dried in" the piece
the wonder is that people are not poi
soned in heart and life. YANKEE.

Free Coinage Plainly Stated.

1t is important to remember that
free coinage means the right of every
owner of bullion to present the same tc
the minis Of the United States and have
it coined without charge into money.
Under she free coinage of silver the
owner Of 3l714 grains of pure silver
would be permitted to turn it over to
the United States mint and have il
coined without charge or receive there
for one silver dollar. More than this,
under free and unlimited coinage, this
right would be extended to the whole
world, and the amount of silver coinage
would be limited only by the capacity
of our minis and the output of the silver
mines
If 1 have made myself understood as
to the meaning of free coinage and
1.-THE ratio. we are now prepared to dis.
cuss Understandings the feasibility of
opening the minis of the United States
to the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer by this country alone at the ratio of
16 to /. For myself, after the most ma
ture deliberation, have been unable to
reach any other conclusion than that
such step would be attended with the
most serious consequences to the country
and involve all our people in common
disaster.
In the first place, the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at 10 TO l would
in my Judgment eXpel from our circula-
ton not only our entire volume of gold.
but every dollar of paper money redeem
able i'll gold and cause contraction of
the currency and resultant panic the
like of which has not been seen III this
