ir. Slaughtering Horses for Food. The slaughter of horses for food has .began at Linnton, Oregon, in an abattoir especially constructed for the purpose. The San Francisco Examiner says: Tho operation is about the same as tilling a beef. The horses are driven 4.V-V -?1: 1 nn.lrrar frc.Tn flio rnr. mo JllUiUCU iuaun?j ?~ rals and each is enclosed in a pen. The executioner strikes them in the "head with a sledgehammer. The doors of the pen are liftod and the carcasses are drawn ont on the floor and expeditiously dressed and hung up. Trenches in the floor and chutes conTey the offal out of sight, and, in a short time, a number of carcasses are suspended by the gambrels from iron tracks above. The pile of hoofs in one corner, a ?- - v IT ??;j V.a pile ox nursetaua m auuiuci, auu length and slimness of the legs on the 'carcasses are all that would indicate to an unexperienced person that anything unusual had been going on. ,The flesh of the horse is darker than that of good beef. i There are certain variations to the customary method of converting a live horse into an edible one wlrch deserve mention. Horses which have [been killed in the oars, or had "broken their necks running down an embankment trying to get away," as one Ibutcher said, must no*t be allowed to go to waste. So they are gotten out iof the way very expeditiously. The , legs were cut off at the knees, the mane and tail removed, u slit made ;the whole length of the 3kin and the head and part of the neck divested oi ithe epidermis. Then * rope was made fast to the loosened skin and a chain put around the neck and fastened to the trunk of an apple tree. A team of horses was hitched to the rope and the entire skin thus pulled off. A few cuts and slashes and the carcasses were in the steam tank being converted into fertilizer. This is, in brief, tne way horses are killed for eating in the first establish?

A CEREMONIOUS Japanese dinner is a tiresome experience for an American, ia pnrticnlarly if he be in the habit of doing things in a hurry and is given to stiff joints and embonpoint, writes W. E. Curtis in the Chicago Record. But the novelty is worth the test of endurance, and if it j happens to bo in tne nome 01 a ncu man, where ono can eDjoy to the tull measure the hospitality that is regarded a.s one of the fine arts as well as one of the cardinal virtues, with all the graces and formalities of oriental etiquette, it will never be forgotten. Buddhism has left its impression upon the diet as well as the manners of the Japanese. The strict tenets of the church forbid the taking of life, and, therefore, animal food was practically abandoned in Japan more than 1000 years ago. Nine-tenths of the people live on vegetables and dried fish?rthe latter being a concession to WAITING-MAIDS MAKING r human frailty. Chickens are used to \ some extent, and a pious fraud is < practiced in calling the deer a "mountain whale." When you see ; the sign "Yamakujira" written over a market or eating house it means that 1 they have venison for sale there under 1 the title I have given, but it is so ex- i pensive that only the rich can indulge j ! in that sort of sin. Meat eating is on 1 the increase, however, and markets i for the sale of beef, pork and mutton ; ] are found in the neighborhood of all' 1 the fashionable district?. i There are three or four eel houses 1 in Tokyo that are as popular for dining as Kinsley's in Chicago or Del- 1 monico's in New York, and the Golden 1 Koi has been made famous by Edwin 1 Arnold. When you enter that or any 1 other eel hcuse you are led to a tank 1 full of squirming reptiles and asked j to eel act your victims, rne larger \ eels are rank and coarse and greasy i and the American seldom tries them i but once. The little fellows, how- i ever, are delicious, particularly when i about five inches long and broiled on i a bamboo skewer like white bait. You i can 6ee them cooked if you like, for 1 true to their habit of having every- i thing the reverse of what it is with us, \ the Japanese restaurants place their t kitchen in the front part of the house i adjoining the enhance and their din- < ing-rooms somewhere at the end of a ( series of corridors in the roar. i The tea gardens in Japan are all 1 alike, and they are all lovely, but the t houses would be more comfortable if 1 one could have tables and chairs and knives and forks instead of being com- 1 pelled to sit on a mat in his stocking I feet and endeavor to eat with chop- i stick?. Everything is served to you i on little lacquered trays on the floor, < and the food is usually in bowls or ) ! tiny cups which you can lift to your ; I mouth if you like and shovel in the * ' food as most of ub have to do, because I the use of chopsticks is an acquired t art, and very few foreigners can ever i do it gracefully. j 1 "While you are eating there are al-! ] ways two or three nesans or geisha ! < gins 10 enienam yuu. .iuue ui wem i can talk English, bat at the tea houses 1 usually frequented by foreigners a 1 few useful words have been acquired, < and, as the girls are very quick of per- < ception, it is only necessary to Rive 1 them one-quarter of an idea and they i will supply the other three-quarters 1 with their native wit. No matter what i Sir Edwin Arnold and other sentimen- ] tal writers on Japan may say, these J *panese girls are not pretty. Their 1 figures are shapeless, their features < are flat, their complexions are muddy, t teeth are bad, and if they wore modern garments one would never look at i them a second time. They cannot com ] pare in looks with the thop girls of1 i Chicago and New York, and the wait- I ] resses in our country hotels will aver- j' age quite as well for beauty. But 1 their kiminos are of the daintest ; i bhades and combination of color, their ' i "?5 :pz| EATING THEIR si obis nre of the richist. brocadcs, ami 1 their hair isamurvel iu its arrange- ! incut. All tliis makes them interest- ; in<r, and they have pretty, graceful manners. The girls receive uo regular wages, ; but are a sort of extra that is Ferved ' with every order and are paid by the , customer and not by the bouse. The habitues of particular restaurant? know them by name anil order then geislias ns they order their dinner. II no special favorites are called for they take their turn as customers comc in, always going in pairs. While you are eating they sit around on the floor and make themselves merry, repeating the latest gossip, reciting little poems, telling anecdotes and jokes and making themselves as entertaining as possible. If you want them to sing or play the samisen they will do so, but their musical accomplishments are not appreciated by foreigners, who seldom ask them to sing twice. A Jap aiiese song is a recitative in a minor key pitched very high and and interspersed with little squeals and screeches. It has no melody or harmony, and one finis it difficult to detect any rhythm. The wife of a Japanese gentleman never presides at his table except when he has lady guests, but she usually makes her appearance when the servants bring in the tea and sweetmeats that always precede a dinner. She gives you a graceful greeting and then retires to reappear as you are saying your "sayonaras," which is the Japanese for "good-by." Thin silken cushions are scattered around upon the floor, and the guests are arranged in the order of their rank or seniority, which is a matter of JII ~ ' ill THEIR VERY BEST BOW. great importance among 60 ceremonious a people as the Japanese. Little tables about six inches high, such as you see piled up like pyramids in the bric-a-brac stores in America, are brought in and placed before you. Then barefooted nesans, or waiting maids, looking fresh and cool and graceful in their soft-tinted kiminos, bring travs of laquer upon which are several covered bowls. Before they place the trays upon the little tables they leave them on the floor for a monent while they make their very best bow. Bowing with us is a lost art. Our umbar vertebrso has never been limbered up to a degree sufficient for us ;o move more than the head and perlaps the shoulder, but the Japanese jow begins with the hips, and when pou meet a gentleman or a lady they lsually show you the back of their leek several times before they comnence conversation, placing the hands ipon the knees and turning the body ntoaright angles. Servants drop ipon their knees, place their hands ik/. moffinif iin,] fnnnli fha fnfO. 1JJUI1 mc uuv% vvuvu w lead upon the door. This ceremony srepeated with the greatest gravity whenever they bring you a dish or ake one away, and they are trained j :rom childhood. A little boy or girl )f three or four years will make as lignified a bow as the most renowned nstmctor in decorum, and a Japanese lousekeeper is a great deal more par- ! icular about the dress and manners of ler servant than we are. When you are in Japan you have :o do as the Japanese do, and you can ind out their ways easily by watchng. Your host is thoughtful and observing, and tries to put you at your jase and help you along by dropping ittle hints as to the manner of using four chop-sticks and the customary ivay of doing this and that. Sometimes at dinner they give you handsomely carved ivory chop-sticks that ire heirlooms, and may have been in :he family for generations, but it is ess ostentatious to furnish little strips )f sweet, white wood highly polished ind split apart for only half their eugth to show that they had never seen used. No well-ordered family aver uses the same chop-stick6 the second time. The ozen or tables, the acquer trays, the bowls and cups in ffhich your food is served are all of :he most exquisite workmanship and irtistic designs. You Reldom see a alate or a saucer at a Japanese dinner, rhose are made exclusively for the 'oreign trade, but the little bowls and jups in which your food and sake are served are works of art. The host sets an example by removing the covers from the bowls upon ais tray and, imitating him, you find in assortment of food that is entirely new and often trying to your palate, rhere is no use ot' a knife, for everything is cooked in little morsels, but a fork would come mighty handy, and i spoon would be even better, for you -T""-T? r jU I p?M.. ITER AT HOME. find it almost impossible to convoy anything from your truy to yonr mouth with chopsticks. They Blip ami wabble ami cross each other with a depravity that seems intentional. You drop your l'ood into your lap aud up on the floor in n most amusing but embarrassing rntonvr. Your host of i fers a fork or a spoon, bat the spirit : of American independence asserts 1 itself and you make another effort " Finally the host remarks courteously 1% GEISHA GIRL PLATTNG THE SAMISEK. "Sometimes we do it this way," and lifts his bowl to his lips and shovels in the food as you would shovel coal into a cellar. This method cannot be recommended for gracefulness or refinement, but it is better than starvation. There are half a dozen dishes in each course and your host kindly tells you what they are. First suimono, a Jnnu of beau soup; kuchitori, chestnuts boiled and crushed into a mush ; kamaboko, fish picked fine and then rolled into little balls and baked; sushimi, raw fish cut into tiny slices and covered with ice. This is dipped into e rich sauce called scy, and really doesn't taste as bad as it sounds. Each course I is served with little cups of warm sake. < There is no bread or butter, and you i will not have a napkin offered you un- I less you ask for it. i The second course is a small fish 1 broiled whole, with the head and tail I on, which is very difficult to eat with chopsticks; umani, bits of fowl boiled with lotus roots or potatoes; a little salad made of onions, peas and string j beane, with a few leaves of lettuce or j cresses; su-no-mono, sea slugs served t with eggplant, mashed as we do pota- j toes, and chawan-mushi, a thick, ens- t tardy soup made of fish and vegeta- ( blep, with mushrooms for a relish. . The third course is usually a carry j with rice and pickled vegetables, such , as eggplant, cabbage leaves, radishes ] and onions; and for a fourth and floaf c course you have soba, a sort of buck- j wheat vermicelli served with soy and a sweet liqueur called mirin; shiruko, t rice cakes, eea weed and all sorts of a confectionery, which is very sweet s and tasteless. j The nesans keep your 6ake cup full j and during the course of the dinner ^ each member of the company rises and proposes the health of the host and then some other guest until the whole party is disposed of. This is a trying ordeal to one who does not like sake, 11 for you must lift your little cap tc 1 your forehead in saluatation each time c and thetfempty it in three sips, it holds but a thimbleful, but it is fiery stufl and inflames the blood more than our brandy. It is customary also to drink the health of the waitresses, who bow their foreheads to the floor in acknowledgment while the compliment is paid them. At the close of the dinner the tabako bon, a tray holding a tiny hibachi with live coals in a cofoe of ashes and a section of bamboo for an ash receiver is placed before you, and cigarettes and cigars are passed around in boxes of cloisenne that tempt you to violate the commandment that forbids steal* ing. You rise from a Japanese dinner with your legs aching, a sense of tinnflcassftrv fullness and a craving for food, and when you reach the hotel you feel inclined to send for a plate of crackers and cheese or a sandwich. The native diet is clean, free from grease and rich in carbon, but it does not satisfy the foreign appetite, and to sit on your heels for two hours is j more tiresome than climbing a mountain. ^ A A'ew Style Keel.

SMALLEST OF REPUBLICS. It Has Forty-six Inhabitants, and the Women Vote. On the route from the Italian continent to Caprera lies Tavolara, au island a mile wide, which has forty-five inhabitants. King Charles Albert of Piedmont made Paul, the head of the Bartoloni family, owner, Kin;,' and absolute ruler of the place in 1836. For forty-six years he managed his little kingdom admirably; and, dying, he expressed the wish that the islanders should be aliowed to govern themselves. The experiment proved successful, and Tavolara wns declared i a republic in 1886, while two years ] later the State was formally recog- i nized by the Italian Government. Its i President is elected for tire years, ancl I its public officials give their services i free of charge. Women hare the ; privilege of voting as well as men. i Once the island had a narrow escape i of becoming the site of a gambling < casino like that of Monte Carlo.

Animals when wild constantly die a lingering death from injury to the skin, whether cansed, as usually happens in tropical countries, by wounde aggravated by insects, or by cutaneous disease. Hence the pains which they take in making their toilet, and in the use and selection of "cos meticij." AmoDg birds, the salt water species often seek fresh water to wash lit, different land birds choose different earths in which to dnst, and also wash in water, and nearly every tropical animal, including the tiger, bathes either in water or in mud. Perhaps the best known mud bathers are the wild bpar, the water buffalo and the elephant. The latter has an immense advantage over all other animals, in the use of its trunk for dressing wounds. It is at once a syringe, n powdering puff and a hand. Water, mud and dast are the main "applications" u^ed, though it sometimes covers a sun-scorched back with arrafls or leaves. "Wounded elephants," writes Sir Samuel Baker, "have a marvelous power of recovery when in their wild state,1 although they have no gifts of surgical knowl3dge, their simple system being confined to plastering their wounds with mud, or blowing dnet upon the surface. Dust and mud comprise the entire pharmacopoeia of the elephant, ind this is applied upon the most trivial, as well as upon the most Berlins, occasions., 1 have seen them, when in a tank, plaster up a bullet ivound with mud taken from the bottom.
