Once in the city of Vienna, there Was a- dread of hydrophobia atul orders v<erer given to massacre all the dogs weilich- were found tuMi ngaimed or collar in the city or suburbs. Men were employ- ed for this purpose, and they generally carried IP.

Which was the brute? ' There are men in whom is no spark of gratitude or generosity. There are others who appreciate benefits received and are happy in tasking grateful ac- knowledgments. Rev, J. W., Asheman, one of the most eloquent divines of Detroit, Michigan writes March 3rd, 1888: "In 1884 i visited Chatham, Ont., to leoture and preach. '1 was in agonizing pain (the result of kidney disorders) and unable to dhie with my host, - I explained to JUdge`Woods_ what was the matter. He asked me if I was too prejudiced by my *dice' education to try Warner's Safe Cure, adding: "Although I have never tried it, I can take you to a gentleman whom it has -helped wonderfully." "1 uied 25 bottles of Warner's Safe Cure and was in better health than for twenty-five yeers. I have everything to kare and nothing to gain by making this statement, save the approval of a gpcl conscience." 4There aretens of thousandsof people ih this con try who have gained the ap- proval f a good conscience in a like manner, and are not too bigoted to do „good,• _ - • . Disabled Horses in the city - of London and what Becomes• of Them. W. H. Ron, secretary of Harrison & Barber, horse slaughtererit, have Seven • slaughter housesin the Metropolitan areafthe largest being that on the York road,-Chinden Town. They slaughter 26,000 horses a year. When a horse broke a limb or sustained other bre. irsediable injury on the street the police at once communicated with their nearest depot. The company had frequently been charged with cruelty in allowing maimed horses to lie about for hours be- fore sending men to end ther sufferings. The truth was they were very particular • in this respect and if such delays occur- red it Was through no fault of theirs. Was horseflesh much used for food? Yes, to a ocksiderable extent, he should say. Their charter did not allow :of their selling horseflesh for food purposes but there were such establishments in the city. He had himself eaten horse- flesh In France, and at the company's annual dinner, it was served to the .gueets, some Of whom declared they would not have known it from beef had they not been told. Fine fat horses were slaughtered. every week-116'nm that were perfectly sound, except for some accidental injury, and he saw no ration why this flesh should not be eaten. He had often seen street gamine buy a slice of dried herseflesh, place it between two bits of bread, and eat it like a sandvvioh t Of course most of the prepared horseflesh passed under the kaMecat's neat, but it teemed incred- ible that the oats could consume it all, Every part of the horse was put to some use—flesh, hide,. hair, hoof's and bones. Now that (and. Mr. Ross ,held up a small vial.of beautiful transparent oil) was horse oil. One would scarcely think suoh an oil as that could be .got from the horn. Those other bottles contained oils of an inferior" quality. They were used for lubricating purposes and for soap -making. Most soaps nnw- adaye contained horse grease. Armed. with a cigar and an order - from the seoretary of the company, our reporter made his way to the premises in York road. The obliging manager said they had only four horses in to -day. But about 7,800 were slaughtered here annually, Most of he animals were cab, but, or train horses: ; The 'utak, lishment turned out about twenty tOBS •of horseflesh every week. They had 46 dead and211iyo horses in now. They Iontracte& with the varlotts 007 bus, ancltrani companies for injured horsee at 30 shillings each, al-ive or dead. -Most ef the live boils' they got in were iniur- ed internally byoverwork or falling. A few were gone with congestion of the. lungs. The work of Slauetering went on day and night, there beieg two gangs of men for that purpose. Horses werei killed at night by •three "knackers.". Fifteen horses were considered a good night's work. The sufferings of the poor brutes were amulet an end, as they were rendered insensible by a blow from a heavy ax.—Pall Mall Gazette. A Woman's Success, The April meeting of the Grand River Valley Horticultural Society was held at the _home- of Mrs. Smith and - her son Henry., of Grand Rapids, on the o 23rd ult., and from the report of the - Grand Rapids Democrat we take -the following account of what skilful and economical -Management- and hard work have done. After premising that the Smith Fruit rani -is one of the finest in western Michigan, the Democrat says: There is quite a story how the big greenhouses which are the largest- about • the city, have .growt. year by year to their present one. To -clay there are 99 acres in the farm, which with their trees and plants representan invest- ment of $30,000 or $40,060 andthis. was all done by a determined woman and an invalid son. Seven or eight years ago • Mrs. Smith was left a widow with her son • a orippIe. She lived on the farm upon which she now resides,but the place was mortgaged aid deeply in. debt- "We were thrown upon our own resources. When I was a girl I always preferred to help my father with the flowers than Waal dishes," Sad Mrs. -Smith to her • visitors.- "My father sent me several glass frames, and Henry and I began to grow some plants for market; We have added a little yearby year, putting our. profits into the business' until now. we have all We can attendto." The debt was paid off on the forty acre • homestead and thirty acres south across the road and. twenty-nine to the west 'were bought and added to the farm. At - one time interest ran as high as $600 a year. Nowthe place is paid for and the greenhouses have grown from three frames to. 17 houses, which, with the sheds, cover an area of nearly two acres. There ere 75 'Wreak of the -9 in fruit, of . whit* ten agree are in berries and It or 12 acres is an apple orchard. There are 400 cherry trees and 4,000 peach trees on the place. .Fifteen, and at times as many as 25 men are employed, and one chw last fall 185 bushels of peaches were picked, which brought $2.50 per bushel in Grand Rapids. • Henry Sinith and mother do not ralee wheat at 70 cents per bushel, and even buy feed for their horses. ; The history of this firm might be taken in evidence by the Farmers' clubs when deliberating on the subject: "Does Farmfng Pay? If Not, Why Not?" . Cleverly Swindled. A rainy night, and twenty-third street was almost deserted, says the New 'York Tribune. A young, woman wast hastening upon her way when she saw be- fore her on the muddy walk a bright circle of gold, a ring. She stooped to pick it up; a man coming from the op- posite direction saw it also, and at the same moment leaned forward to reach it. he lady gave way; the man upon put prominently before you. rising politely said: - "Here is your ring, madam." "No, no, it. is not mine," said the lady. °. • "Then it is your find," replied the "I think it is yours," returned the lady: , Well, I don'twant it," said he. "Nor I," said she. "See, it does not fit me at all; it it a lady's ring," said he. "Perhaps your wife might like it," said she. " My wife is dead," mad "Can't you givelt to some one else," said she. . "No, madam.
