each of the animals by one of the hind
feet and fastens it to the wheel by n
short chain. As it is lifted into the
air. the butcher with a thrust Of the
knife opens the throat; the work occu-
pies but a second. The blood from
the carcass flows into trough, which
passes on to vats where ii is kept until
utilized in the manufacture of fertil-
Izer. The carcass revolves on the wheel
until it reaches a point where 1t Is
automatically removed and fastened
TO a trolley system which conveys ii
into the scraping-room. Here it passes
through machine, provided with re-
volving blades, which removes most of
the bristles, preserving them so that
they can be later made into brushes.
The carcass is then passed into a vat
or tank of boiling water, which softens
ahe balance of the bristles so that they
can be easily removed by hand. From
this apartment it is conveyed by ma
chinery into the chill-room, where 1t
remains for twenty-four hours before
being cut into sections.
The carcass, freed from blood and
bristles, is now ready for the cleaver
who separates 1t into the hams and
sides for bacon, and removes the fat
which is to be converted into lard
and other products. The cutting is
done so dexterously that a few min
utes suffice for one man to separate
the hog into several portions. Then
The hams and bacon are placed in reser-
voirs filed with pickling composition
of which each company has its own
formula. The other portions for pro-
visions are placed in the salt-room,
where they remain from forty to sixty
days. The same length Of time is re-
quired also for the hams and bacon.

The diversity Of view on moral anG
religious questions is Interestingly
and even startlingly illustrated By the
variety of UNCONVENTIONAL opinion in
the province of Ontario. We have
been in the habit of speaking Of the
Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian,
Methodist and Baptist, as If these and
one or two others comprised the di-
visions of religious opinion in Ontario.
1t will surprise many to learn that in
our own province there are actually
no fewer than 1877 recorded shades OF
religious belief, and there may be
come still unrecorded. The following
are among those recorded:

friend Struve--the Hon. H. G.. Struve
of Seattle, who was pretty prominent
out there about the time Of the great
fire.
During the raging Of the conflag,a-
tion which made Seattle look like half
a dozen punched nickels, Struve
rushed up into his Office to save some
of his most valuable books. He had
accumulated a lot of material which
he was working up into a history OF

and some of his books were mighty

sweeping down upon his office he be-

most to save.
"'Ah, this is one III take!' he told
himself, grabbing up one. No, this
is worth more-ah there's one I've
got to have, and all the time the
flames were getting closer and the

began to smoke.
Just then the hremen began to

The beef affords a much greater
variety Of products than either the
sheep or the hog, although, as already
stated. every portion Of the animals
is nut TO some use in the modern
process. The fat, boiled in large ket'
Ties. is resolved into oleo and stearine,
oleo, or oil of the beef forming the
basis of butterine and oleomargarne.
This and stearine are utilized in some
Of the soaps which are now manufac-

fertilizer. and also into buttons of a
cheap grade which are now manufac.
tured in Packing Town, within a
short distance of the slaughter-houses.

for shipment, the refrigerator cars can
be run into the refrigerator compart-
ments, and the meat transferred with
out exposing it to the warm air. In
the modern method Of killing cattle
the stunning process is still retained.
As the beeves are driven into the
gangways in single file, men upon
elevated platforms knock them sense
less by a blow between the horns with
a heavy hammer quite similar in shape
to the implement used in spiking rail-
road ties. AS the animal falls a door
in the side of the gangway is opened,
allowing the carcass to slide to the
floor below, where it is slaughtered.
Here the transferring machine is at
tached to the body, and as fast as an
animal Is killed 1t starts on its journey
through the several departments. First
comes the chill-rOom, then the com
partment where it is skinned. While
one man is removing the hide, another
cuts off the head and removes the
tongue, and another the feet. Next
it is halved or quartered in the cleav-

that the most modern processes have
been introduced for the purpose of
economizing both time and labor, as

of the extent Of the industry can be

acres, while the yards are traversed
by 150 miles of railroad track and
twenty miles of streets, and the troughs
from which the live stock are fed and
watered aggregate seventy-five miles

AS far as possible machinery has
been employed, with the result that
one of the large companies treats 1000
hogs in a day, where by hand less than
ten per cent. Of this number can be

still done by manual labor, the butcher
has every appliance to further his

Twelve Cars Smashed and Both Tracks

an east bound freight train drawn by
engine 1887 and composed principally
of loaded coal cars was wrecked at
Offutt's mill, two miles west of Oak

laying traffic twelve hours or more
besides entailing a monetary loss of
three thousand dollars or more to the
railroad company.

Just above the mill the front truck
under a steel car jumped the track
and after running for a distance of
two hundred yards or more the cou-
pling broke. Twelve cars OF the train
left the track owing to the sudden
stop and were thrown in every direc-
ton, tearing the heavy steel rails
from the tiesand blocking both tracks.
A large number of railroad men
assisted by two steam hosting cranes
were employed until long after mid
night in clearing away the debris and
it was not until Monday forenoon
that both tracks were open for traffic

nothing whatever to do with his i'll

The Baseball Season,

Now the time is come when the
heart of the member OF the tribe of
Rooterites swelleth with gladness:
When the voice OF the umpire is
heard in the land, and the bleacherite
disporteth himself in glee;
For they that play baseball will
grid up their loins and gather upon
the skinned diamond.
Yea, the pitcher shall stand in his
box and twist himself even as a youth
that hath surrounded many sad green
apples.
And he will hurl the ball even
through the center of the afternoon.
So that it goeth upon Il line like un-
to the outer boundary of Roman
nose, and the batter smiteth fiercely
at the resistless air.
And the catcher shall put upon him
self strange garments and mask.
And shall grunt nightly when the
ball seeketh resting place in his vest.
Sound upon the hewgag, and beat
upon the tomtom,
Let us tell the boss that our grand
mother hath died or that we must at
tend the vestry meeting;
And let us take the afternoon off
and find places upon the seats that
bleach.
Where the sun cometh down at 40
miles minute and the heat is even
as that which the furnace man prom
isetn when the cold wave is upon us:
but which doth not arrive at that
date, alas.)
(The said Alas! refereth unto the
heat and not unto the cold wave.)
Peradventure, if we have the price
let us take the fair maiden even into
the grand stand and tell her how the
game is conducted.
Let us make plain unto her that
the pitcher getteth not a cigar for
every batter he smiteth with the ball.
And that the man who capereth
about the coaching line meaneth not
all that he saith;
And the man who runneth about the
bases is not foolish for running about
with speed that he may get back to
the place from which he starteth.
Verify, it is up to us to argue unto
her that she should not cheer the
| man on the wrong team.
Because that he looketh cute in his
uniform.
And it behooveth us to assure her
that we are not crazy when we rise
suddenly and suggest that they kill
the umpire;
Or tell the fielder to go back and
seat himself.
Or say unto the man between sec
ond and third;
Run, thou lobster! Run, thou ice
wagon! Thinkest thou this is morgue
and thou are the chief exhibit?
Yea, we must explain unto her that
this is but the jocund chat of the
game.
So let us rejoice and be glad that
the foul tip and the daisy cutter and
the hot liner are once more with us
That the umpire is again to be mob
| bed.
And that the pilfering of bases is tc
be resumed.
For the magnates need the money
And we need the excitement.
Therefore, let us shout with a great
shouting:
''Play ball .
