MEAT IN ITALY.
The Way the Slaughter Houses Are
Operated by Law.

The Way the Slaughter Houses Are
Operated by Law.
Slaughter houses in Italy are public
institutions. The law prescribes that
every town Of more than 5000 inhab-
itants shall build and maintain q mu-
nicipal slaughter house, where all
butchers are compelled to bring their
live stock to be killed. The slaughter
ing itself is done by the individual
butchers and their assistants. The
conveyance Of the cattle, the removal
Of the carcasses and the dressing OF
the meat are likewise the affair Of the
butchers. The city provides the build
ing, keeps it clean and furnishes vet
Urinary inspectors to examine and
pass upon the carcasses.
The Milan slaughter house Is stu
ated within the city and occupies sew
eral acres of ground. 1t consists Of q
number Of long, single story buildings
made OF cement and stucco. The build
ings consist of either a single large
about twenty-five feet wide and either
fifteen or thirty feet deep. Each stall
has q wide double door In front and a
window behind. The buildings are ar
ranged in parallel pairs, each pair
being connected by a covered passage
thirty feet wide, whose roof is raised
many feet above that Of the buildings
being supported by pillars rising from
the roofs on either side. The air thus
circulates under the roofs of the pas
sages or corridors and over the build.

A CAT AND A CANARY.
They Went Away Separately, but Came
Back Together.


They Went Away Separately, but Came
Back Together.
A lady friend Of mine, says an Eng
lish writer, has as pets canary and
cat. The two were the best of good
friends and when the birds prison
door was opened it would come out
and perch on the cats back while it
trilled forth a song Of gladness.
One day my friend left her two pets
together. and on her return the bird
was nowhere to be found. Pussy was
curled up on a cushion, sleeping con-
tentedly. and my friend jumped to the
conclusion that the cat was answer
able for the birds disappearance. con-
Eequently she caught up the cat and.
holding the supposed delinquent be-
fore the empty cage, beat it rather
mercilessly. Poor pussy mewed pite-
ously, but her relentless mistress put
her outside and shut the door against
her.
Next morning, feeling rather asham-
ed of her outburst, she made inquiries
about the cat, but pussy was gone.
Some days later she heard faint
scratching at her window, and on open.
ing the easement cat crept In and
laid a bedraggled canary at her feet.
At first she did not recognize her pets
In the two disreputable looking objects
before her. When she did recognize
them her delight was great
Presumably the canary had gone out
by the open window, and, finding liber-
ty sweet. it had flown to neighboring
wood. How the cat found the bird and
brought it back uninjured is mys-
tory

Case

reeained consciousness, The name
Of Miss Agnes Barrett who conducts
a lace shop in the Wellington build
ing was brought into the case in the
course Of the talk, Miss Gingles
said she recognized Miss Barrett as
a woman who helped her into the
cab. Miss Barrett recently caused
the arrest Of Miss Gingles on the
charge Of stealing $50 worth OF lace
from the store.
Miss Gingles came TO Chicago two
months ago from ireland and being
an expert lace maker found employ
ment with Miss Barrett. The EN-"
ployment ceased when the theft
charged was discovered, The case
was not pressed but the Irish Eel

story that she was being prosecuted
took up the matter. The girl was in

be cleared. odonnell was retained

of fearing bodily harm odonnelFs
