FEEDING GREAT BEEF EATERS.
lee a Great Factor in the Shipment OF
Quantities of Western Meat.
Philadelphia Times.

1T may not be generally known" said
the manager of a Western packing house
located in this city, but it is a fact, never
theless, that Philadelphia consumes some
thing like five thousand Western cattle eV-
cry week. There are ten of these Western
firms doing business in this city and their
output is steadily on the increase.
Ice is a main factor in our business
The two largest of the Western beef houses
here have a capacity of from nine hundred
to one thousand tons in the StOrehOuSe
which is replenished with one hundred tons
every ten days or two weeks About the
transit of refrigerator cars, Sufflce 1t TO
state that the beef arrives here after
rapid transit of one thousand or hfteen
hundred miles in the pink of condition.
The shipping of Western beef has been
brought TO a perfection little dreamed OF
when the idea of supplying the entire coun-
try was first conceived, and the reply given
by T. +. Swift TO Chauncey NJ. DepeW at
the worlds fair, that he could ship Chicago
beef all oyer the world. If plenty OF lclng
stations were given him, no mere
braggadOciO. Why, only the other day
Glasgow meat dealer who sells Chicago
beef exclusively, called and told me that
the beef arrives there in the finest of con-
dition and that he would not be bothered
with the native article.
The refrigerator cars used nowadays
contain two tanks which are filled with
three tons OF broken and well-salted ice. a
thermometer in the car indicates whether
the REQUIRED temperature OF Sc degrees is
maintained and Tor the purpose of enabling
the men TO do this properly in transit icing
stations have been erected at distance of
every hundred miles. The retrlgeratlng pro-
cass is so nearly perfect that even 80 de-
grees can be reached and the beef solidly
frozen.
Besides the number of cattle mentioned
the Western houses here also receive and
DISPOSE of ten thousand sheep week be-
sides pork and other provisions; OF the ten
Western firms domiclled at Phlladelphla
the two largest each slaughters at their diff
ferent Western establishments ten thou

every right, should be the gayest of the
gay Her pink cheeks and bright blue eyes
show that she isn't going into a decline;
her pretty clothes and the devotion of her
family would indicate that she has nothing
to worry over or to long for; but for all
that she has something on her mind-is
plainly oppressed by something. The girl is
rarely seen without a book. but If this is
by way of consolation il doesn't work as
She never looks bluer than when she is
reading The other day though the girl
waxed expansive and the mystery was
solved She was taking a course of Scott
novels and had made up her mind to read
every one of the notes.

The Song of Margaret.

All, I saw her, We have met
Married eyes, how sweet tAey be;
Are you happier, Margaret,
Than yo1 might have been with ne?
Silence, make no more ado!
Did she think l would forget?
Matters nothing though | knew,
Margaret, Margaret.
Once thosa eyes. full sweet, full shy,
Told a certain thing to mine;
What they told me l put by,
oh, SO careless of the sign.
Such an easy thing to take,
And 1 did not want it then;
Fool: I wish my heart would break;
Scorn is hard on hearts of men.
ScOrn Of self is bitter work
Each of us has felt it now:
Buest skies she counted mirk,
Self-betray'd of eyes ard brow.
3 for me, l went my way,
And a. better drew nigh
Fam to learn, with long essay,
What the winners hand threw by.
Matters not in deserts old,
What was born, and wax d. and learn q;
Year by year its meaning told,
I am comets deeps are learn d;
Come there is naught to say
Married ewes with mine have met
Silence! O / had my day,

The Pain of Lovin ..

All turn YOUR pretty ey es away;
You would rot have ne love again;
Loves pleasure does not live day;
Immortal is loves pain,
And 1 am tired of pain.
I have loved once-ave, once or twice;
The pleasure died; the pain lives here;
/ will not look in your sweet eyes,
| viii not love you, dear,
Lest you should grow too dear.
For I am weary and afraid.
Have not seen why life was fair,
And known how good a world God made,
How sweet the blossoms We're.
How dear the green fields We're?
And l have found how life was gray,
mist-hung road, a quest in vain,
Until once more love smiled my way
And fooled me once again,
And taught me grief again.
Now I will gather no more grief;
/ only ask to see the sky,
The budding flower, the budding leaf,
Ard put old dreamings by.
The dreams love tortures by.
For. being wise, I love no more;
You if you viii. snare with those eyes
Some fool who rever loved before,
And teach HIM to be wise,
Fer why shOAld you be wise?

FEAR OF LIGHTNING.

Now that the season OF thunder
storms is approaching here are a few
words to reassure that large body o.
people who are afraid of lightning AID
thunder that their fear is comparatively
groundless. Professor G Stanley Hail,
president of Clark University, recently
corresponded with nearly 1000 persons
vita 3 view of ascertaiDing VIA; coz
stituted their great fear and ascertain
ed tat of 29S classes OF OF cis

nee, torially commenting upon toll
subjec %eu0eavors TO prove the uu
resser lleness OF this state Of affair
and ssys that there is only al svera2'
OF 205 oeatns from lightning over tl'
wnole United States in a YEAR, whit II
Nv ! ork city alone 1850 people an

same city over 200 people are drowpec
each ve0r, while $50 are burat or sca!d

fills Of one kind and another, so tha' Ii
statistics prove anything there IS OF
Der cent. greater danger OF being KICK
ed to death by a horse in New fors
cltv than of being struck by lightning
IL is also interesting TO learn that sta
tistics show that there are five times a.
many lightning fatalities in the coun-
try ss in the cities, probably Cd ac
count of the metal roofs aud we'll
grounded water systems 10 be found IL

Another current belief Is
that lightning strokes are necessarily

DR.. Halls paper concludes thus:
"Perhaps after al there ay be a more
direct cause than the mere physiologi-
cal one usually ascribed to it and that
is the fact that many persons Of nerv-
Gus temperament are affected hours
before the approach of a thunder
storm, and thus rendered particularly
poweIless TO Withstand the strain
which more or less affects even the
most phlegmatic natures during a dis
