The composition of the sausage is not
only complex, but it is often obscure.
In this country the preparation Of this
(as 1t should be) useful article of food Is
confined to tho employment of minced
beef and pork. The only exception
probably is the 80 called "black pud-
ding which Is made with pigs blood
and perhaps some heart and kidney.
Abroad, however, the sausage Is COM
pounded of much wider range OF sub
stances, These include brains, liver and
horseilesh. The last substance is gener-
ally considered repugnant, while, of
course. 1t is fraudulent to sell sausages
as beef or pork containing horsefesh.
Occasionally, however, sausages do not
contain meat at all, but only bread
tinged with red oxide of iron and
mixed with n varying proportion Of fat
The remarkable feature of horseflesh is
the high proportion of glycogen which
IL contains, and this fact enables the
presence OF horseflesh to be detected
with some amount of certainty. The
test which depends on color reaction
with iodine has recently been moro
carefully studied and with more satis
factory results, so that the presence OF
per cent of horseilesh in aausages can
be detected Lancet.

A Street Hustler.

"What's your buainess2" asked the
police magistrate of a man who was be-
fore him for abusing his vito because
supper was not ready.
"1'm street hustler" was tho reply
Explanations showed says the New
York Herald, that the man represented
large number of fellows in New York
who have no regular occupation, but
nevertheless manage TO make good
living, particularly at this time Of the
year. They loiter around the streets
until they see vanload of furniture
going somewhere. Then they follow the
wagon, oftentimes for miles The wag-
ON drivers do not take kindly to these
men and will not let them ride.
Men who are "handy with their
hands, as it was explained to the
magistrate, have no difficulty in get
ting job laying carpets, cleaning win
dows and furnaces or hanging out
clotheslines. 1t Is II poor wagon chase
that does not net from $3 to 81 load
Sometimes when two or more men are
following the same load, competition il
keen. Tho wagon driver whips his
horses, and the prize falls to the man
who has the fleetest foot and the great
est wind power.

Long before the war General Butler,
who was then struggling young law

featuring town. He had displayed abil-
ity at college, but had to wait the usual
number of years for his first case. At
last young girl who had worked in a
cotton mill came to him for redress
against her employers She had been
discharged without wages, and on re-
quest for three weeks wages was un.
tremendously thrust from the door.
The case looked blue, for the firm was
very rich one, but she needed money
badly. She offered Ben one-half to col

Tho next morning, while ON her way
TO look for employment, she came upon
great gathering at a crossing. She
inquired what WINS the matter and
learned that tho factory she had left
had shut down for the first time in 80
years. Wondering what could have
brought about such state. she passed
ON and presently met Butler. He was
leaning against a lamppost whiting

knife with a jaunty air. "'Tsall right.

BATTLE WITH SHARKS.


Desperate Encounter In which
Two Man Eaters Were Slain.
Probably tho most desperate fight
which has ever been witnessed between
n couple of sharks and human being
took place at Havana some time ago.
Several fruit peddlers had boarded u
largo mailboat. and among them was
swarthy, bare legged young chap noted
among his comrades rs Il clever swim
mer. The purser of the vessel was stand
ing by the gangway, holding his child
In his arms, watching couple of sharks
that were hanging about the ship. Ac-
eidentally the child fell ont of its fa-
theirs grasp into tho water The father
Immediately jumped overheard and
seized his child, and in moment the
sharks We're making for tho pair.
Seeing tho predicament, the bare leg
ged young buccaneer dropped his fruit
basket and went over the rail like Il
fash.
AS tho first shark turned ON its back
the invariable prelude to biting Its
victim--the young fruit seller rose to
the surface, and, with long, keen
edged knife, fairly disemboweled 1t.
The other was not nearly 30 easily
disposed Of Tho shark seemed to real
ize that in the fruit seller no had n
dangerous foe and apparently spared
for an opening. Several men ON board
the vessel blazed away at the monster
with revolvers, but the young fellow
begged the men TO desist, being I'M
nerved by the firing Fish and man
dived alternately, and when the fish did
make for its foe the plucky boy dived
and plunged the knife in its side
The water was crimson with blood
when tho three wero hauled safo and
sound to the deck Of tho vessel, and
handsome sum of money was collected
for the victor.

Asbestus is physical paradox, yet
one of natures most marvellous produc-
tions. 1t has been called n meteorological
vegetable; il is both fibrous andScrys
talline, elastic, yet brittle; floating
stone, which can be readily carded,
spun and woven into tissue. In Cor
many 1t is known as steinfiachs (stone
fiax), and tho miners of Quebec give IL
quite as expressive name-pierre cotton
cotton stone) The asbestus mines Of
Quebec arc the most famous In the
world yielding SO per cent of the en-
tire output, Italy being tho only COM
peting country, and there the industry
Is declining Although Charlemagno is
said to have had tablecloth of asbestus,
which he cleansed by throwing into the
fire, it was practically unknown until
1850
The Italian mineral was then expert
mented with and some years later put
on the market. In 1873 tho first Cana
dian mime WINS opened, md tho product
steadily increased until 1890, when
$500 tons, worth $1,000, 900, were
mined. There has since been decline
in value, tho amount for 1895 being
$4,000. worth only $3.50, 900. Asbostus
Is flexible. noncombustible and a nom
conductor of heat and electricity, and
on these properties its increasing use
depends. 1t is spun into yarn, from
which cloth is woven for drop curtains
