EASY METHOD OF HANGING a CAR
CASS.

Jow the windlass I'D is four by four
inch piece with arms bolted on the end
to turn the windlass and draw up the
carcass, which should be turned length
wise of the holster until it passes be-
tween c. The gamble should be long
enough to catch on each side when
turned crosswise, thus relieving the
windlass so that a second carcass may
be hoisted. The peg (e) is to place in a
hole of upright (a) to hold the windlass.
Brace the frame in proportion to the
load that is to be placed on it. The
longer it is made the more hogs can be
hung at the same time--C. T. Brattain,

The kat.er.. Christian soldier.

One sentence in the speech delivered
by the kaiser the other day when
swearing in the recruits 10 the Garde
corps has aroused much comment here.
As vet no official report OF the speech
has appeared. The kaiser is stated TO
have said: He can neither be a good
soldier nor a brave man who is not a
good Christian. and under no circum-
stances can he fulfil what is demanded
of soldier in the Prussian army" The
anti-Semites are of the opinion that
the kaiser directed this sentence
against the Jewish soldiers. To this
the Jews reply in the liberal press by
referring to the 5000 Jewish soldiers
in the German army of 1s70-71, OF
whom 327 were decorated with the
Iron Cross, the highest distinction for
military bravery in the empire. As
however, the conservative press de-
clares the kaiser directed his remarks

AN EMPERoR's DIETARY.
Description of Francis JOseph's Fooa
and Kitchen.

and Kitchen.
The emperor Of Austria is pious
Catholic who keeps as strictly on his
fasts as he does on his early rising. On
such DAYS he abjures all meat and con-
tents himself with fish-a dish that,
like mutton. is a rarity in Vienna-and
various kinds of omeIettes. His
majesty takes his fish preferably
with buttered potatoes. His cuisine
is peculiarly Viennese, and il is only at
court and state dinners that the French
menu has any chance. The Vienna
kitchen is closely allied TO the Ger
man in the simplicity and want of Va
riety in the dishes, and by the ''done-to-
death character of the meats, but is
decidedly more tasty and inventive,
.Kaiserschmarrn" and the dumping
like ''Knodel'' having a worldwide &C.
lebrity. His majesty. like his subjects,
prefers large helpings at the sacrifice
of variety, and has particular weak
ness for dainty sort called Frank
forter NIT Kreu." II may be called his
speciality.
In summer the so-caIled second
breakfast is omitted. and the emperor
contents himself with the five o'clock
breakfast, consisting of cup of coffee
and a little katie Auflage' (sliced cold
sausage, ham, etc.) His majesty sticks
to his desk for the next seven hours
with scarcely an interruption. At noon
comes the luncheon. or '+Gabel-fruh-
stuck" consisting of a soup and slice
of roast. At half-past two is dinner
of six courses, comprising soup, fish,
two roasts, pudding and dessert. His
majesty likes beer, but Partakes of both
beer and wine very sparingly, although
the wine is changed for each cover.
Liquors are also served. The emperor
drinks preferably dark Bavarian beer;
half a pint is his quantum. When he
has risen from the table Kaiser Franz
Joseph has finished his eating for the
day and touches nothing more, even
when in the evening he attends a thea
ter. He is in bed by nine o'clock. and
20 his regular. moderate life he owes
undoubtedly his longevity and spIen-
did health and spirits.
That is how the emperor lives in win
ter. but the arrangements must neces-
sarily undergo alteration on every oc-
casion when a state function takes
place linen the SpIenOOr and lavish
ness of the imperial table knows nolim-
its, and the fifteen covers hide titbits
from every nationality, according to
the tastes of the guests. But his males
" is only at home when his table is
laden with the simple fare of his loyal
Burger" All the royal fruit and veg
etables are grown in the country, ex-
cept when the time of the year absolute
" compels the purchase of Nthese
abroad The wines are mostly Austri-
an or Hungarian, but also include Bur
gundies, Moselle, and Rhine wines, and
Spanish sorts and champagne.
Next year at the jubilee exhibition
the emperor intends to have the dishes
| cooked in the imperial kitchens and sold
in the exhibition grounds The public
will thus, ''for a consideration be able
/ TO enjoy the piquant crumbs that
fall from his majesty's table and
sip the wines from the royal cellars.
