STOCKYARDS EUTHANASIA.
Laughing Gas May he Administered
to Animals Before Slaughter.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Henceforth there is to be no glum-
ness in the minds of steers, sheep and
hogs marked for death in the slaugh-
tering rooms at the stock yards, If the
plans of a Chicago man find favor with
the magnates of packing-town. Laugh
ing gas is to rob death of its pangs
and hilarious animals will cavort down
the runways to meet the deadly knife.
Samuel Fox of Summerdale former
editor, now scholar, author, machinist,
scientist and inventor, has devised a
system by which doomed animals, first
daZzled by a glare of electric lights,
are to poke their muzzles into a bag
of laughing gas-nitrous oxide, as sci
ence has it-breathe deeply of the
fumes and get last mirthful moment
before big, red armed men slash them
across the throat with their long
knives. Mr. Fox takes pride in the re-
Election that the idea Is distinctively
of Chicago and for Chicago.
Sarah Bernhard furnished some of
the inspiration for Mr.. Fox's plan
though he admits that he had a more
humane system than the present one in
mind for years before the Divine Sarah
ever saw the stock yards. The great
actress wanted the packers to use
chloroform. This was a good idea as
a starter. Mr.. Fox admits but ii would
be expensive and slow-and there
wouldn't be any fun in it for the hap
less steer or sheep. So he hit on
laughing gas as calculated to give live
stock cheap. quick and jolly send
off,
He explained the plan yesterday with
the aid of a diagram.
"The essential features of my plan"
he said. "are means of getting the ami
mails into the place where the gas is
to be administered and then a de-
vice by which they will readily sub
NIT to the fumes. In the first place.
there will be a runway, as at present,
but instead of leading directly to the
slaughterers IL win lead to turntable.
This will be provided with numerous
exits, each leading into an asphyxiat-
Ing room. On a circular platform in
side the turntable men will stand
armed with goads by which they win
direct the animals into chutes leading
to the place where the gas is to be
administered.
Suppose the animal to be a steer.
1t will be sent from the turntable into
a small room filled with strong cleo
trio lights. It will be dazzled by The
glare. After a few moments the lights
will be turned off. This will confuse
the animal still more. The side walls
of the room will be drawn together by
a special device which have in mind.

The important part played in many
murder trials by a fiattened and mis-
shapen bit of lead or steel, once in the
form of bullet, often leads to devel-
opment of some curious facts. lust
such a fact as this was adduced at the
recent murder trial of Charles 2. link
before Judge Dobler and jury in the
Criminal Court, part 2, when the man
was found guilty of murder in the
second degree through the killing of
his child-wife, Emma May link, at her

The collector and the archaeologist

the Amelineau expedition in Egypt The
conduct of this party has already ex-
cited adverse criticism among Egyp-

There are comparatively few weapons

In this connection a collector said
"There is no doubt that there has been
very extensive incorporation, but I
think it is due more to the laborers
than to the officers of the expedition.
The workingmen who are employed are
paid ridicuously small wages, and they
know perfectly well the value of their

it; just as the Kaffirs steal diamonds

A SENSIBLE MILLIONAIRE.
He Minds His Wife, Hence He Is
Healthy as Well as wealthy.
From the Philadelphia Press.

from the Philadelphia Press.
One of the most extraordinary men
in New York city is unquestionably
Charles r. Flint. a man who began
with nothing and is now worth more
millions than he can count. In this
land of fast formed fortunes, however,
this is not record sufficiently unusual
to attract especial attention. OF late
years he has not often been mentioned
in public, and the present reminder of
him is the performance of his steam
yacht Arrow. which recently covered
a measured mile on the Hudson river
at the rate of Al 2-15 miles an hour.
Mr.. Flint is one of the few holders
of great fortunes in the United States
who has drawn nearly all their money
not from their countrymen, but from
foreigners. His vast fortune has been
accumulated almost wholly in the
South American trade. He is also one
of the few American millionaires whose
efforts to accumulate money have not
wrecked his health. This is verv
largely due to the constant care of his
wife. 1t is Mrs. Flint, not his business
associates. who dictates his hours of
labor, recreation and rest. She decides
how long he may remain in his office,
what and when he must eat, how long
and in what way he shall play and
when and how long he shall sleep.
On one occasion Mr.. and Mrs. Flint
were dining with Mrs. John j. Knox,
the brilliant widow of the famous con-
troller OF currency. Among the guests
at the dinner was one man whose
knowledge of certain international
matter, in which Mr.. Flint was deeply
interested, was greater than that OF
any other person. This man was to
sail for Europe on the following morn
ing; this dinner, therefore, was the only
opportunity offered for talking the mat
ter over. The TWO men became so en-
crossed in the discussion of the affair
that time flew rapidly to them and
the dinner was somewhat prolonged
in consequence. The ladies did not
leave the table, and 1T was about 9:15
when the hostess finally gave the sig
nal for going to the drawing room. Mr.
Flint Immediately Joined the man
whose conversation lad 80 interested
him. In a moment more they would
have been again deep IA their talk had
not Mrs. Flint touched her husband
on the arm.
What is II, dear?" asfed Mr.. Flint.

ABODE OF JOSEPHINE.
The Cage That Kept the Empress
Captive for Years.

0AptlNe
Paris Letter in Pail Mall Gazette.
La Malmaison. so full Of the memo
ries of Josephine and of Napoleon,
has become state property. The house
was purchased by a wealthy merchant,
NJ. Osiris, who, after expanding a
great deal of money upon its restora-
ton, has presented it to the nation.
The authorities had some hesitation
in accepting the handsome gift on the
ground that its maintenance entails
expenditure, and that its removal from
Paris initiates against 1t becoming
popular showplace. But, happily.
their scruples have been overcome, and
La Malmaison will become a museum
of Napoleonic relics-that is, If the
wishes of the donor are compiled with.
La Malmaison was the elegant cage
that kept poor Josephine captive in
the years of her divorce. 1t was here
that she died in 1914, on the morrow
of the entry of the allies into Paris.
1t was precisely a drive that she took
with the Emperor Alexander of RUS
STA, who had come to set the Bourbons
on the throne again. that gave the I'M
happy Princess a chill from which she
died. Josephine thought to make
Trianon at La Malmaison: she only
succeeded in making comfortable
house. with nothing very remarkable
about it, Josephine held something
of a court at the chateau, and she gave
receptions which were very popular
with the great artistes of Paris.
The most dramatic episode in the
history of La Malmaison is the adieu
of the Emperor on the eve of his de-
parture for st. Helena. There, in the
great vestibule that divides the house
in two, he stood, grave and silent, sur
rounded by his family. Mime. Mere
was there, with tears running down
her cheeks. "Adieu. mon fills. "Adieu,
ma mere" That was all, and the EN-
peror turned away with never another
word, walking slowly into the garden
and down the avenue of plane trees.
At the Bottom he seated himself upon
an old stone bench, and there he re-
manned, with his head bent upon his
breast, until darkness had fallen. With
a silent gesture he sent away every
one who would arouse him from his
sombre reverie.
Napoleon III bought La Malmaison
for $4,000, out of memory for his
mother, Queen Hortense, and of his
grandmother, Empress Josephine, both
of whom lie buried in the little church
of NRuell, whose soft chimes must
often have fallen upon the ear of the
great captain. His descendant thought
to make a museum of the chateau and
a souvenir, much as II is to-day: but
the idea did not fructify, and the war
and the Commune came to put the
house in ruins. La Malmaison figured
.conspicuously in the defense of Paris.
The Prussians occupied the house,
from which the French tried to drive
them. Now it has come upon peaceful
days. Unhappiiy for the interesting
project that would turn 1t into a mu-
scum, all the furniture is dispersed and
cannot be got together One of the
most recent visitors to La Malmaison
was the Empress Eugene. AS this au-
gust lady gazed upon this cradle of
a bereaved Empress mourning the
