THE MEAT-PACKING INDUSTRY.

The Sunday Journal gave some particu-
lars concerning a proposed enlargement of
plant by local meat-packing company,
whose business. which already exceeds $780,
100000 a year, will then be greatly increased.
The growth of this local plant is typical
of that OF the meat-packing business
throughout the country. The business it
self is of comparatively recent origin and
its growth has been phenomenal. Prior to
1870 the preservation of pork and beef
products consisted mainly of the air
drying and salt-pickle curing of hams,
bacon, mess pork and dried and corned
beef. 1t was not many years before that
cattle were driven from the West across
the. mountains TO be marketed, and even
at that time they were shipped East by
rail to be slaughtered. The packing bust
ness as II is now known with its output of
table delicacies, its utilization of waste and
its variety of marketable by-products had
not yet begun. IL owes its birth in the
West TO the commercial demand from the
manufacturers of glue, fertilizers, scrap.
etc. or parts OF the slaughtered offal and
to the introduction of ice refrigeration and
transportation which made it at once
profitable to slaughter in the West and pos
sible TO ship dressed carcasses East much
cheaper than live animals could be shipped.
The saving in transportation and in shrink
age between shipping live animals and
dressed carcasses is enormous, and instead
Of the great waste that formerly prevailed
every part a the animal now has a COM
mercial value-hoofs. hide. hair, horns.
bones, blood. fat, all are utilized. As re-
suit of this and OF the growing demand for
meat products. both for homo and foreign
consumption. the packing business has had
a great development. According TO the
census report of 1900 the number OF estab-
lishments has increased since 1850 from
1S5 10 921; the capital invested. from $751;
500 TO slS9 19S 264; the number OF wage-earn-

PecuIiarities of Lord Rosebery.

7. p. O'Connor, in Parsons Weekly
Although at the present hour in England
the man who is most in the public eye may
be said to be Lord Kitchener, there is an
other, an. unknown quantity in English
political life to-day, as he has been called,
who also occupies a large share of public
attention and conjecture. This man is no
other than Lord Rosebery. Always a some
what lonely man. Lord Rosebery has be-
come almost a recluse during the last few
years. AS long as his wife was alive he
was compelled to go into society with some
thing like regularity, but her death has left
him free to seek that detachment from So
ciety which he best loves. 1t is not that he
is always alone but he chooses his own
company, and does not allow it TO be
chosen for him. He rarely, If ever, is TO be
seen at another mans table but often at
his own you find the most interesting men
OF his time; but he does love loneliness, as
is evidenced by the fact that very often the
one day in the week he comes to London is
on a Sunday, because, at certain periods of
the year, Sunday is the day when London
is emptiest.
Another popularity of Lord Rosebery's
temperament is a certain almost morbid
restlessness. An acquaintance of his told
me that one day he paid him visit at Dali
meny, his beautiful seat, Immediately in
the neighborhood of Edinburgh. They
lunched, and the acquaintance sat down to
have a quiet chat and a smoke after the
meal, and he felt more inclined for 1t be-
cause IL was very hot day In summer,

General Smith a Scapegoat.

What Is ReIigiOn.

Lyof y. Count Tolstoi is never dull. He
has manner of expressing himself that is
always interesting and entertaining. To
many persons the subject of religion is
what is termed dry" but Tolstoi treats il
with such dramatic force and fearlessness
OF expression that the reader feels impelled,
AFTER glancing at a page. to continue on TO
the end. What is Religion is in line

rights of the people and the methods of the
church-the Russian church. in particular.

Some or the articles attack the right Of

trend OF advanced thought in such mon

Gated by the Greek Church, and his reply
10 the synod's edict is scathing criticism
OF the metropolitan's action. The leading
artlcle In the book defines religion as the
establishment by man OF such a relation TO
the INFINITE life around him, as. while con-
meeting his life with this infnitude and di-
Tectlhg MS conduct, is also in agreement
with his reason and with human knowl-
edge. Upon this basis of religion found

such position has often been found shifting
