heart.
While cities rose aud blossomedinto
dust,
While shadowy lines of kings we're
blown to air,
What was the purpose breeding on
the world
Through the large leisure of the
centuries?
And what the end-failure or vic
tofy2
Lol man has laid his scepter on the
stars,
And sent his spell upon the con-
tnents;
The heavens confess their secrets,
and the stones,
Silent as God, publish their mys-
terry.
Man calls the lightnings from their
secret place
To crumple up the spaces of the
world,
And snatch the jewels from the
dying hours.
The wild white smoking horses of
the sea
Are startled by his thunders; the
world powers
Crowd round to be the lackeys Of
the king.
His hand has torn the veil of the
great Jaw
The law that was made before the
worlds, before
That far first whisper on the an
Gent deep,
The law that swings Arcturus on
the north
And hurls the soul Of man upon the
way,
But what avail, O builders of the
world,
Unless ye build a safety for the
soul?
Man has put harness on Leviath-
And hooks in his incorrigible
jaws,
And yet the perils of the street re-
main.
Out OF the whirlwind of the cities
rise
Lean Hunger and the Worm of
Misery,
The heartbreak and the cry of
mortal tears.
But, bark! the bugles blowing on
the peaksl
And, bark a murmer as of many
feet,
The cry of captains, the divine
alarm;
Look, the last son of Time comes
hurrying on,
The strong, young Titan of Dem
ocracy;
With swinging step he takes the
open road,
In love with the winds that beat his
hairy breast
Barring his sunburnt strength to all
the world.
He casts his eyes around with
Jovian glance,
Searches the tracks of the old ira
dition, scans
With rebel heart the books OF pedl-
gree,
Peers into the face of Privilege and
cries;
"Why are you hating in the path
of man?
Is it your shoulder bears the human
load?
do you draw down the reins ofthe
sweet heaven
And keep the green things grow
ing? q e Back to hell.
We know at last the future is Sc
cure;
God is defending from etern-
ity,
And all things, good and evil, build
the road,
Yes, down 10 the thick of things the
men of greed
Are humping the inhosptitable
clay.
By wondrous tolls the men without
the dream,
Led onward by a smoothing I'M
awres,

A MYSTERY ELUCIDATED.
sausaEes Can BE Made at Twopence
Pound with Spice, Paint, and
n Little Ment.
From the London Mail.


Everybody eats sausages, though not
always with an easy mind. The recently
published First Book on Sausages,
Printed in English" is, therefore, of in
terest TO the general public as well as to
the manufacturer.
Not many years ago." says the au-
thor, Sausage was regarded with much
suspicion, but that impression no longer
exists, to the advantage of the producer
and consumer; but especially of the con-
sUmer, as it enables him 20 purchase, at
a moderate cost a healthful article Of
food having all the nutritive value of the
whole cut"
He then goes on to show how the man
ufacturer may reap an enormous profit,
but the advantage to the consumer Is
very dubious.
The most essential things in sausages
are. apparently. spices and coloring mat
tiers. With an attractive color and a spicy
odor and taste any rubbish will sell There
fore, the sausage maker must provide
himself with the best obtainable pepper
sage, BASIL thyme, mace, nutmeg, all
spice. etc. Likewise he must carefully Sc
lect his coloring matters, which, accord
Ing, to the manuals, are obtained from
NallOub FtbtldDlt mineral sources,
and are not so injurious as general opin-
ion would have them"-just what the
brewers say Of arsenic in beer
The extra cost of good spices is easily
saved in the meat. by taking freshly
killed beef while yet warm and chopping
H. up fine, II will absorb 80 per cent or
more of water. The beef from bulls fur
nishes the sausage maker with a profit
able meat. as, being naturally dry, 1t will
absorb at least half its weight of water. -"
Water at Sd pound must certainly prove
profitable. But the sausage maker has
further resources. Stays and bears have
an "unpalatable taste and rank odor."
Hence. If sold as meat they fetch small
price. But, provided he does not use too
much. the sausage maker can make de-
licious bolognas from these animals and
get tiptop prices for them.
As to castings. they are, as every one
knows, the entrails OF animals In the
old days they were used In their natural
state, but the up-to-date sausage maker
knows better. Some years ago when YOU
bought a smoked sausage you might feel
assured II was smoked sausage. Smok-
ing was found rather troublesome and the
sausagemaking manual shows an mex
penslve substitute All you have to do Is
10 buy some "amoke color and steep
your castings in II. Sausages stuffed In
such castings present a very rich appear
snce, and It Is claimed that mo smoking
OF the sausage Is required"
Now, the main object of smoking In to
preserve the sausage for some months.
So that, II you eat a notwithstanding
sausage made in this fashion. you had
better eat II quickly or beware the con-
sequences.
"Fillers" form a very important sub
iect on "hllere" and water the SAUSAGE
maker relies for his huge profits.
Fillers consist OF bread, corn -four, po-
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-04-09

tato -four, biscuit meal, sausage meal,
boiled rice and 50 on. OF biscuit meal II
may be said that 1t absorbs a large guam
tity of water. but ut causes the sausage
to be nicely Drowned and crisp, giving it
an appetizing appearance" Bread is an
inexpensive article for filling sausages.
and bakers bread is better than
homemade, as 1t will absorb much more
water" This material is very service
able In reducing the cost without de-
tracing i'm the least from the nutritivc
qualities of the sausage" Yet 1t will oc-
cur to the economical housekeeper that 1t
is cheaper to give the baker FIVE pence
a quartern than the sausage maker eight
pence a pound for this nutritive article.
AS to preservatives their use is legiti-
mate and necessary. Borax, boric acid,
salicylic acid, formaldehyde and other
drugs prevent much good and valuable
food from being wasted" while ut is
doubtful IL any Of these are harmful to
the consumer" The sausagemaker takes
the benefit of the doubt. The quantity of
boric acid used, by the way, Is from one
half TO one ounce per ten pounds of sau-
sa ges. Every time you eat half pound
of sausages, therefore. perhaps you will
take a medicinal dose of boric acid, and
II you are a regular sausage eater. your
stomach will be in a nice state at the end
of the year.
The recipes are interesting. Here is ono
for ordinary pork sausages: Lean pork
trimmings, so pounds; pigs liver. 2
pounds; lean bacon. pounds; boiled rice,
IS pounds; salt ~ pounds; boric acid, 5
ounces Add water to the desired consist
ency.
Let us work out the cost. The pork has
already received n pounds of water.
Therefore there are SO pounds of trim
mings" at, say, I'd a pound. That makes
IS. 10d. Say Is for the four pounds OF
liver and bacon at wholesale price, an
other shilling for the boiled rice, and stiil
another shilling for the salt and spices
With IS. for the castings, the total cost Is
16s. 10d. For this sum the sausagemaker
has over 100 pounds of sausages. and they
thus stand him I'd per pound. As a mat
ter of fact. the above allowances are lib-
eral for sausagcs do not cost so much
a. ID pound to make. Beef" sausages
are made on the same plan.
For Hamburg Kneck sausage" may be
used says the recipe, cheap meat,
srouts, ears, hearts, sinewy and tough
meat. calfs lungs. etc. These are chopped
fine, added to potato meal and favored 20
taste. Chicken and ham sausage Is made
from pork, veal tongue, rice. sausage
meat and spices. Tine sausagemaker may
add q little chicken 81 a salye 10 his con-
science. but this Is not necessary.

this candid trade manual7 Make your sau-
cages al home.

FADs OF COLLECTORS.
Irish Potato Rings which Bring f5
an Ounce.
From Chambers journal.


From Chambers Journal.
The rage for antique silver Is fairly
notorious; perhaps the least accountable
feature of the business Is the high VAL
uation of old apostle spoons. A great
many have been sold in recent years. but
in most cases only single specimens are
obtanable. In 1898 an Elizabethan spoon
dated 1883 was sold by auction in London
for f19, and others realized from i'll to fl7
each. Mr.. Butler, a well known London
auctioneer, estimates that complete set
of fourteen would realize little short OF
1000 guineas. A Set Of eight, dated 1877,
was sold in 1890 for f252; and two skies
In 1892 for f400. The record price was
reacehd in 1898, when Messrs. Sotheby,
the London auctioneers, sold a seal-top
spoon of the sixteenth century for $50
los. This weighed one ounce six penny
weights, and was intrinsically worth a
little over three shillings. The Avery col
lection Of spoons in the United States is
probably the finest In existence, includ-
ing as it does 800 specimens of all ages.
Old Irish potato-rings are also much
sought after by collectors; at recent sales
they have sold for nearly 6 an ounce.
Although less valuable than antique sill
yer, Sheffield plate" is much priced by
connoisseurs. This is a combination OF
copper and silver. a thin sheet OF silver
being welded upon a thick piece of cop
per, and then rolled out to the required
size for manufacturing. It's value depends
largely upon the condition OF the surface.
as It is sine qua non among collectors
that Sheffield plate" must remain in its
original state.
One OF the more recent hobbies for
which the dealer caters is the collection
Of old picture watch-dias. These are
sometimes genuine enamels, and occa-
sionally land not less valued hand paint
ed. Scriptural episodes were very COM
monty selected for treatment by these old
dial-painters. The earliest specimens OF
enameled dials date from the seventeenth
century; but the majority Of those to be
found In the shops are probably AZ tho
most one hundred years old. Very high
prices are put upon the small mourning
brooches so commonly worn by our grand
mothers: those containing a centerpiece
for hair and a surrounding border Of
pearls are chiefly In vogue. Two or three
guineas are often obtained for good spec
inens.
