Margin Of Profit.

The industry is operated on a mar
gin Of less than cents to each dol
lar Of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands of
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States,
who buy their live stock in competi-
tion with the packer doing an inter-
state and international business. Like
wise the packer must sell in compe-
tition with the local slaughterers.
There are no secret processes in the
industry, no complicated and expen-
sive factories, and as live stock can
be purchased in almost every hamlet
and city, and the preparation of
heats is simple in the extreme, local
a!aughtering will long remain a fac
tor in the production of fresh meats
and provisions.

Wholesale Distributing Houses.
A wholesale distributing house is
giant refrigerator, but instead of
shelves there are trolley rails, from
which are suspended hooks to hang
the carcasses. Some of the houses
cost as much as hundred thousand
dollars to build and equip. AS a rule
they are of pressed brick, the insides
being lined-floor, walls and ceiling
with highly polished hardwood. The
floors are covered daily with fresh
sawdust, and all are kept spotlessly
clean. There are over three hundred
of these wholesale houses in various
cities Of the United States, and the
public is always welcome to visit
them.

Women and Matrimony.

Those who keep a close watch on
women's ways profess to see a de-
cided falling off in enthusiasm
among the fair sex concerning the
right and opportunity to cook and tie
increasing fields in which they may
find a chance to earn money or gain a
livelihood. Women are beginning to
find out" says a close student of this
burning question, that work is work,
after all, and that competition grows
f1ercer all the time. Young women
who come from the country districts
with high hopes of independence and
ideals about living their own life I'M
trammeled by old traditions soon learn
that it is a struggle harder than any
they might encounter at home Then
their views change and they begin to
think much better of matrimony as a
vocation than they did before 1t will
be some time before this new feeling
will have much weight in lessening
the present rush of women into all
avenues of labor, but there will be an
effort in time and the rush will sub
side. The shadow of independence
rather than the substance is all that
many women gain, and this is ling
slowly realized"

Anti-Dog League.

Although the dog is generally ac-
cepted as being the truest friend OF
the human race, he has his enemies
who are loyal to their hatred An ef-
fort of these people to get together
and give force and direction to their
antipathy has just begun, having Its
origin with Ambrose Bierce, the es-
sayist and satirist on the follies and
foibles of both CANNES and humans
Mr.. Bierce, says the New York Press,
mas all MS lifetime been an enemy
of the dog and has given a great deal
of attention to projects for his re-
moval from the face of the earth. In
the prospectus of the Anti-Dog League
it is set forth chat he is the only
one of our domestic animals whose
existence is due altogether to hered-
ity. ne is an anachronism, a sur
vival, a heritage of shame He is adj
dicted to more uncomfortable habits
than the number of hairs on his tail,
and in point of inutility he dominates
the situation like a brick ship in a
fishing fleet True, he has enough in
telligence to fawn upon his master
(and his master enough to be proud
of the attention), but that is a matter
of thrift and signifies no superiority
to the courtier in his blindness. AS
to the creatures deeds of devotion and
fidelity to those whom he deems it
inexpedient to chew, they are mostly
narrated by those who have not in
mind the example of little George
Washington. Let the good work now
begun go on until the entire plague

glers, spfck-and-spaniels. early fra

its prospective members live at such

The building of a fireplace in the

understand the art of hospitality bet
ter than we do. 1t seems perfectly
easy and natural for them to give the

fire quickly seconds the pleasant
greeting of the host and hostess at the
front door. But English Railways
are different from ours They are
larger and often are used for many
purposes that would not be at all
suitable in halls the way they are
built in this country. There is, how
ever, an advantage in having the fire
place in a hallway constructed like
the one in this plan. Because of the
open stairway the heat goes upstairs
to make the upper rooms comfortable.
A good many fireplaces are not used
because there are other means of
heating the house and the additional
fire in the CRATE is too much. Amer
leans have never learned the art of
choking the furnace off to give the
CRATE a chance. Our abominable
habit of heating the house entirely
by the fire in the cellar has been
worked to the extreme. The CRATE
in the hallway by sending its heat
partly upstairs is not oppressive even
