Avcording to a British government | Teport, the impcrtation of American’! cattle inte England is steadily on the inerease. For the first five months of the current year it was 175,000 head, as compared with 112,000 for the same beriod last year. If this rate per month be sustained, the year’s import will be over 400,000, or much larger than the exceptional importation in 1892. ‘The London and Liverpool mar- kets have been so heavily supplied that the prices of American beeves haye there fallen as low as 9¢ to 9 1-2¢ per pound (estimated dressed weight); while export steers were being quoted at Chicago at $3.75 to $4 per 100 Ibs, live weight. At these rates shipments must have been made at a loss. The development of the chilled beef import. trade presents. many interesting feat- ures, and is, in many respects, very similar to that of live cattle. Takin, | 600 pounds as the average weight o cattle slaughtered for the dressed beef trade, last year’s export from this country of fresh beef to England rep- resented a number of cattle nearly equal to that exported alive, the latter being, “however, heavier cattle. The past five months’ export of chilled beef Was 108,759,600 pounds, as compared with 81,841,065 pounds for the same period last year. At this rate, the year’s export will be some 60,000,000 pounds greater than in 1892. It seems still a matter of doubt which of the two branches of the trade otfers the largest profits. The secretary of agri- eulty in his report for 1895, says: be rs to work out more profita- bly to transport the live cattle. They are carried on parts of the ship that wonld otherwise be unoccupied. They do not require such special-fittings and appliances as to debar the vessel from carrying other cargo when cattle are not available.” The ocean freight on the four quarters of a stcer varies from $5 to $6, How a Letter May Be Recalled.

The Longest Continuous Speech, Will you kindly inform several of your readers of the longest speech on record, and the name of the speaker? Answer-Many stories are related of unusually long speeches having been made for purposes of consuming time, and of gaining advantage thereby. A few years ago the Toronto Globe said that the longest speech cn record was believed to have been that made by Mr. De Cosmos, in the legislature ot British Columbia, when a n easure was pending, the passage of which would | take from a great many settlers their lands. De Cosos was in a hopeless | minority. The Goo had been held back until the eve of the ciose of the session, Unless action was taken before noon on a given day the «ct of confiscatien would fail. The Gay before tke expira- tion of the limituticn De Cosmos got the floor about 10 a. m., and began to speak agaiust the Dill. its friends seemed careless, supposing they would have ample time to act when he got. | through.

One 1s reminded of the pretty fabie about Arethusa and Alpheus by a euri- cus story in the current samber of Caasier’s Magazine. But in the ancient uarrative it was a fresh water river in- te whick the pursuing lover was changed, znd the fountain which rep- resents the metamorphosed nymph nas Leen ideutined; while in ihe less ro- mantic tale now told a salt water stream disappears. into a hvis in the round, uid a}! the rest is a profund faystery, says the New York Tribune, On the cousi of the Greek island of Cephalonia, near the town of Argos- toli, there are two little flumes, or ca- nals, leadiug inland from the sea to the distance of about 10 feet, and then dischargin, their contents iuto rudely excavaied pits, through whose badly fissured, rocky bottoms the wat- er immediately loses itself. At least as long ago as 1835 a mill was run by power from one of these flumes, and ® second mill was built beside and op- erated by the other a little while after- ward. The mills themselves are now {u ruins, but the fiow tinues. This remarkable state of things has existed for o years, and very likely or tury. One cannot help asking ia amazement where: all that water goes to. The Messrs. Crosby, who fuar- nish the accouué which Cassier’s prints, estimates that the flow in each channel vazounts to 1,000 cubic teet per minute, ui 3,000,000 cubic feet per day in both. wo smaller pussages of a similar eter have been observed in the neighboihood; and it is added along the shore, “at all points be- tween the ‘wo imils, and for an un- ksown distance beyond each, the wat- er is everywhere olating through cracks) t s of the lime- stone nd sinking into the eurth. h2 cpenings in the sea bottora are no doubt mainly closed by weeds and gravel, yet no in- cousiderable amount of water must ind its way to these mysterica hrough such an ex vu a rock that is pr give: 6s 6 decide it is di which is the greater marvel, or the. fact remained practically unkaoown to the scientific world up te present day, aithuugh described by veral authors, menuoned in the guide Looks, and visited by udimirais, gen- erals, bishops and distinguished civii- sans.’” Almost the only explanation hither- to offered assumes that evaporation ves ou rapidly in some subterranean cave?u and thus disposes of the water. Butas it is adimitrea that the remuain- ing salt frou che two mill streams alone would amount to 48,600 cubic ieet a year it is hard to understand why the suiterranean cavern, it there te one, does not fill up. The Messra Crosby vile: a diferent hypath.sis. They ask ibe reader to {magime twe great fissures descending into the earth and meeting beiow like the sides. ef a letter V or U. Then they suggest that perhaps one arm is shorter than the other and that there is a long,very gently rising passage leading from the bottom of one to the bottom of the oth- er, so that the subterianean heat can get a good chance to act on any stream passing through it. It then becomes easy to suppose that a cold current of bea Waler coimes down through gue branch of the system and is forced up- ward through the other by thermal in- fluences. ‘Lhe recky isleyd of Cepha- lonia, like some of its neighbors, he trays the effect of earthquakes innum- erable in times past, abounding in frac tures and faults, caverns and subter- ranean rivers. None of the spring or Cephalonia contains any large quanti. ty of salt, however, and it is difficult to regard any of them as the overflow of the ficod which disappears at Argos- toli. But it 1s possible that, as Ab pheus is said to have done, it takes a dive beneath the sea and comes up up some far-off island. The Plucking of Fowls, The Australian method of plucking fowls pussesses the advantages ot be- ing rapid aud easy. As soon as the birds are ead, plunge each in turn inte a pail of boiling water, into which one and a half pint of cold water has been thrown (the object is just to scald them), taking care that the water reaches every part of the feathers. One minute's sousing is generally sufficient; if kept in too long, the skin is apt to discolor, and, if not loag enough, the feathers will not easily draw. Every feather can now be stripped off in the easiest possible manner—in fact, they can almost be brushed off. The skin never tears, and the insects that infest all ebickens will. have disappeared. When clear, pump on the birds to rinsé off the wet feather: that stil! adhere, wipe tenderly with + soft cloth, and hang up to dry witb a-cloth fastened loosely round. This is to keep them from the air and preserve them white, By this means all the feather stumps are perfectly removed. Ducks cannot be treated in the sume maanner, as the oil in the feathers prevents the water from penetrating . « Uealns. ‘Windrift Wilson—“Say, Towsely, ole man, how’d ye git dat fine lay-out?

Defied the Conductor to Make Get Out of the Way.!"" ~~ “Before I came.to this part of the country I was engineer on a railway down South,” said a railway man to a ~ Chicago Times-Herald reporter. “We used to make a long ran and we were pretty slow about it, While on that line I remember one day when we — reached the junction station a woman came up to me and asked me to hold a train for five minutes. She said that her daughter wanted to take the train to the city. I told her that it was impossible for me to hold the train for her. - “T dou’t see why,’ she expostulated. ‘I think you might do a little thing like that,’ “T tried to explain to her phat trains ran on cichedule time, and, like time and tid, wait for no man, or woman either, for that matter, but she wouldn’: have it, and finally, just as We werg about to start, she shouted indigna;:tly: “Weil, I’ll just see about that! “IT luughed, but soon I ceased to laugh. Sor what did that old woman do but get right on the track about three fost in front of the engine. She sat herself there, firmly grasping the rails whh both hands.. The conductor signalled for me to go ahead, as our stop was over. But I couldn’t do it as she remained on the track, for I would kill hes certainly. I called to the con- ductor, and he, impatient at the delay, came ap. I explained the situation to him. He was as mad as I was, and going up to the woman told her to get off the track, “‘T just won’t,’ she replied ‘until my daugh:er gets on board your train.’ “He pleaded with her some more, and fiaally declared that he would be compelled to use force. “Just you dare!’ she cried. ‘I'll sub you for damages if you do!” . “This opened a new complication, and we reasoned with ourselves. whether we had better remove Lemby”* force. Just as we had determined up- on a course of policy, her daughter came up, and seeing the old woman on the track, kissed her good-by and got on the train, while her mother called to her: “Go ahead, Mary Ann. You have plenty of time though, for I will sit on the track until you get on board.” “And then, when Mary Ann was safely on board and we were about ready to run over the old woman if necessary she calmly and slowly got up and waved me a good-by, calling, as we pulled out of the station: ‘I hope I’ve teached you fellers a graim of perliteness.’” Sl a eae ane VERE DE VERE MANNERS. , Are No Longer Charaeteristic of Ariste- cratic Society. The high-bred manner that marked the caste of Vere de Vere is certainly not characteristic of aristocratie so- ciety in France, England or America now, says the New York. Tribune. The cynical Frenchman who.said he could always tell the difference between an actress and a.countess by the superior refinement and good breeding of tho actress was not so far wrong. Not long ago an English dame of the old schcol, who had brought up her daugh- ters in the traditional, admirable, :in- sular and essentially British manner, got into a first-class carriage on the Dover mail with two of those daugh- ters and they arranged their various impediments in the neat, orthodox British fashion. Hardly were the three seated when a ‘party rushed down ta he platform, talking and laughing, zalling each other “Billy” and “Nell” and “Tommy” and “Polly,” and saying good-by in noisy fashion to one of the lot, who was evidently not to accem- pany the rest. “My dears,” said the British matron, bristling with dis- approval, “those @readful creatures are coming in here. They are evi- dently Americans, Do not on bec account permit them tu scrape an ac- quaintance. [I am told that they are most objectionable in that way.” As the strangers scrambled in and the: guard slammed the door, materfami-' lias and her girls glared haughtily at the intruders, one of whom said pleas- antly: “I fear we are crowding you, but there was no uther carriage to be sad.” To this there was no response. Another well-meant remark about moving some papers was also recelvod; with chilling hauteur. So, paying no further heed to the original inmates’ of the compartment, the new arrivals literally ate, drank and made merry, to the intense and manifest disgust of the solemn trio, who exchanged ‘lances expressive of their annoy ance, furnishing obvious amusement to the presumed Americans, who, like naughty children, seemed greatly di- verted by the situation and rather tried to increase the ire of their companions de voyage by an overflow of hilarity. At Dover the two parties stopped at’ the same hotel and crossed the next’ morning to Calais, But what a trans: formation scene on the steamer! The British matron met the noisy young folks with a beaming smile and a bow, — to which a supercilious stare was the only response. The prim daughters proffered rugs and other comforts, which were curtly refused. What was the cause of sudden turning of the tables? Merely that the English matron, with the curiosity characteriz- tic of her class, had examined the hotel register, and,.to her dismay, had read “Lord and Lady Fitznoodle,” “the timate friends of H. R. H.! The peo= ple of all others that they were dying to kno ee cence pes a amie —_——
