BUSINESS IN OLD BONES.

People Who Are Satisfied to Make Fortunes Out of Refuse. Chicago Mail. ' Of all the products that come into the 1 ' Chicago market beef is ts the most effectually utilized. Fiom the time a beef leaves the pasture until its steaks are' served by some fashionable caterer, if, has passed through several thousand hands, and has contributed either directly or indirectly to several hundred distinct and seperate industries. In no city in the world is the principle of the division of labor more strikingly exemplified than in Chicago, with her manifold industries dependent on the traffic in beef. One would naturally suppose tha.t bjeef was so plentiful and cheap in a central market like Chicago that no one would think of making a special business of utilizing what in many cities is cast away as refuse. But the very fact that Chicago is so great a beef market renders it possible for almost every ounce of beef to be put to some practical use. There has grown up in this city with-. in the past ten years the largest bone and tallow industries in this country. These industries have not only served to build up immense private fortunes, but, as an officer of the board of health said to a Mail reporter recently, the}' have been of untold value to Chicago in a sanitary point of view.

This may seem at first thought a curious statement. But the explanation is simple. A bone and tallow factory is not a desirable neighbor, as every one knows who has ever had the misfortune to live within scenting distance of such an establishment and yet the odor is neither so unpleasant nor nearly so - un ; wholesome as many other exhalations from the stock yards. The bone and tallow factory serves as a convenient repository and crematory of the offal from the butcher shops. In a city like Chicago there must necessarily be at every large butcher-shop a large amount of good meat remaining over each day unsold. To remove this meat to some suburban dumping-place would entail considerable expense on the butcher, and he would in many instances be tempted to let economic considerations take preference over regard for public health. This unused meat ought in the summer time to be removed regularly every day. There appears to be no city ordinance bearing directly on this point, and to enforce ap ordiance of this kind would be the next thing to an impossibility. The dealer in bones buys of the butcher whatever is worth paying for in the way of bones, horns, hoofs, hide, tallow, meat, and hauls it away, and. often gets for the mere hauling away meat that would soon become a nuisance to the butcher, but which can be turned to some practical account at the tallow factory. All. of the leading butchers of Chicago have now come to depend on the bone.and tallow dealers to relieve them of what they cannot dispose of to their regular customers. To facilitate in ascertaining the price of the commodity it is usual for the butcher to sort it. For instance, he puts all the kidney suefdn one barrel, the flank-tallow in another, the soupbones in another, and the waste meat in another. These are all sorted in the order of val ue. If life butcher"' fails todo the sortingliiroself, hqjs obliged to sell for a lower price, as the work of sorting after the stufF is once mixed is both difficult and unpleasant and frequently cost more than it is really worth. The bone and tallow dealer sends out his wagons every day to different parts of the city to buy up the butchers’ refuse. Each wagon has a regular route and makes regular trips at stated intervals. The loads are brought into factory and distributed to appropriate places. All of the tallow is put into a vast caldron and rendered into the form in which it is found in commerce.! There are a number of steps in the refining process, but they vary according to the purity of the article when it comes into the factory. * The bones form a curious collection, and suggest at once the prophet’s vision in the old testament. Here are the bleached skills of oxen, with yaWning jaws, grinning teeth, and ernptj sockets. They seem almost to speak from out their grim receptacle some legend of the Humane society. Occasionally a huge skull happens to have a pair of crossbones near it, and suggests the ghoulish emblem of the death’s head. The bones are of all sizes and ages. There are the drylxmes that have lain bleaching for months on the prairie and have been gathered by some economic farmer and shipped to Chicago for a fe w cents more than paid the freight Then there are the juicy soup-bones fresh from the butcher-shop. But these must go through many transformations before they are ready forthe market. First they are cooked and the grease all extracted. This grease is converted into lubicating oils. The bones are next put to soak in a tank , with water running constansly in and out. Thus they are cleaned. When all greasy impurities are removed the bones are laid out to dry and are ready- to join company with their congeners of the plans. They are dropped into a gigantic hopper and ground to a coarse flour dust. The mill grinds with a hungry greed and rarely receives a mouthful too difficult for its power of mastication. The bone dust is weighed, bagged, sorted, and shipped to ’

all parts of the country where fertilizing material is needed. One of the most valuabe products of the establishment is glue. This is made of the hoofs of cattle. There is a secret process in its manufacture that is always carefully guarded and is known to only one man and a few employes in this city. This is Ira.C. Darling. His is one of those peculiar trade secrets that no patent right would properly protect. In this, it resembles the secret of making popceTaih, possessed only by the Meissen (Saxony) porcelain potters. The hoofs are subjected to some process by which they are turned into liquid? This liquid comes out resembling in color and consistency New Orleans molasses. It is run into cooling pans, Where it becomes partially solid. Then it is tut into_ cakes like gingerbread and allowed to harden, and is then broken into * small pieces and placed in barrels ready to be shipped. **• The Horns,furnish in themselves material for two or three different indus tries. The large, curving horns of Texae cattle are made, into house ornaments Scarcely a well-furnished house in the town of Lake is without its household arms in the form of one of these handsomely finished ornaments. The horns are also used for- making ornamenta. chairs and other pieces of furniture, s taste for which has become of late years exceedingly widespread. The ordinary horns are turned into buttons of all kinds, and 1 unite*)’ and fishers’ furnishings. ; -..-..1

RELIGIOUS NOTES.

Philadelphia has 629 churches, and it is no better than any other city of its size. New York has 800,000 Roman Catholics, and the value of their church property is $30,000,000. I know of no blessing so small which can be reasonably expected without prayer, nor any so great but may be attained by it.—South. Now that the life of - Archbishop Trench is just published, it appears that, like Thackeray,he desired and requested that no life should be published, but no one, after reading these two volumes, can blame his friends for insisting on its publication. Presbyterianism in New England has steadily increased during the last five years. Since 1883 the number of churches has increased from eighteen to thirty-one, and the membership from 2,975 to 4,588. A church has recently been established at Newport, R. I. Christ built no church, wrote no book, left no money, erected no monumentsyet show me ten square miles anywhere on earth without Christianity where the life of man and the purity of woman are respected, and I will give up Christianity.—Professor Drummond.

The Christian Inquirer puts tliis question: If Congress and the national conventions of the great political parties can properly be opened with prayer to God in the name of Christ, why may not the doctrine concerning God and Christ be taught in the public schools? Miss Charlotte M. Yonge, the novelist, is a devoted member of the Church of England. Y\ r iih the proceeds of her novel, “The Heir of Redcliffe,” she fitted out the missionary schooner, the Southern Cross, forthe use of'Bishop Selwyn; andslo,()oQ from the profits of “The Daisy Chain,” are said to have gone to the building of the missionary college in New Zealand.

New Jersey Presbyterians, who are, generally speaking, of an intensely “blue” stripe, are shocked at the declaration of Rev. H. Thomas, of Bridgeton, one of the oldest preachers of their denomination in the State, that “Calvinism needs toning down,” and that fire and brimstone preaching must go. His case will probably be considered by the Presbyter}’? Happiness depends far less upon the external circumstances that surround us than it does upon the condition of our own minds. The main sources thereof are within us, and not without. Many a man is happier in his poverty than a king on his throne, dr a millionaire in all his luxury. It is a great mistake to judge on the comparative happiness of men by the difference in their outward condition

Mr. Bradley, who founded Asbury Park, and who has made it one of the most virtuous and law-abiding towns in the country, finds that there are kickers in the borough. The auti-Bradleyites seem to be unhappy because the enterprising founder made money by his experiment. If he had made it in running a “gin mill” he would- be one of the most poDular men on the Jersey coast, especially if he had combined hightoned gamblingwith the liquor business. .

There is no such thing as an ignorant faith, for all true belief will rest on knowledge. What is commonly called an ignorant faith is simply superstition, and not faith at all. How shall men believe that of which they have not heard? and how will they hear without a preacher? The Bible everywhere teaches us that our faith must be intelligent. Then there is much that passes for faith that is presumption. •We are told that by faith the Israelites passed through the Bed sea, which the Egyptians essaying to do were - drowned. The presumption of the Egyptians is imitated by us tpo often. What we need is the faith which sees Him who is invisible.

WHERE NIHILISTS ARE BRED.

The Unspeakable Misery and Poverty of Russia’s Poor. St. Petersburg is European, and half the things Which pain one there are felt to be some sort of association with the evils and vices of the West. But Moscow has its own miseries, and they are so intensely Russian, so characteristic of that vaster Moscow of which the old capital is merely- the tiny centre, that, in becoming sensible of them one shudders; not for a community merely, but for a whole, people. The contrasts life offers in St. Petersburg are contrasts mainly between things which it is scarcely just to compare—between a well being which is foreign and a want that is native; but in Moscow' weafth is; the elder brother to poverty, yet stands divided from it by a chasm as impassable as it is merciless. There is a distinct alliance of roughness and semiculture, says Harper’s for August, be- < tween the rich merchant, who does business daily in the White Town, and the wretched street vender, whom he passes on his way a dozen times; yet the two are farther apart than the poorest and the richest classes in Western Europe. Moreover, poverty is so unspeakably miserable in Moscow that it seems, to .be the characteristic rather of a distinct species animal man than of any particularlpfeei: of the population. The streets daily yield figures which can only on general principles of anthropology be called human. The eye disentangles a face from these moving masses of rags but slowly and painfully; unless the inspection is at long range the nose itself is too apt to protest. The Russian summer calls innumerable peasant beggars and country paupers to Moscow. In the daytime they explore the city from gate- to gate, halting from time to time to beg alms or munch the fragments of black bread which form the chief spoils of their diurnal quest. Many women of this class are young and robust, fresh from the labors of the field, but some are old, infirm, haggaid. All trudge along with the aid of a staff, and all wear a rude canvas bag tied around the neck. At night, long after the last vesper has died away, when the White Town is deserted and the suburban residences

are gay with lights, music and with the laughter of happy men and women, this vast army of the penniless and the miserable seeks its nocturnal repose. Heaven alone knows where—on the forsaken field, of the day’s markets in the open air, on the steps of churches and cathedrals, or in the quadrangles and courts of palace and public buildings. To be unutterably wretched, and yet to be a nightly sojourner in the “outer courts of heaven;” to be poor and yet to fall asleep with only the thickness of a wall separating one from some of the most useless and costly accumulations of treasures in Europe, the conversion of which into money would furnish the means for banishing acute poverty from Russia altogether—such experiences as these are the lot of thousands to whom Moscow is less a place of pilgrimage than a centre of hot, weary, dusty life, a focus of burning despair.

Four Years on His Hands and Knecs.

Macon Tvle irapli. An old negro-was carried to the Ross Home Tuesday that had just comp'eted a most remarkable journey. He lost his toes by frost bite, is a paralytic, and so badly crippled that he can scarcely crawl. He was found on the Houston road beyond Gileeville, and had slowly been moving into town for two or three days. lie was taken up and placed in a wagon by Superintendent Harmon and carried to the Home, where he told the story of his travels. Four years 3go he left Jacksonville to, comb to Magon. He, was without any means and he undertook to crawl the entire distance. His strength and condition would not permit him to cover more than a quarter of a mile a day, and, crawling over the ground as he did, he was often compelled to remain off the road for days and weeks by reason of rain and wet weather. He lived on what was given him, and sometimes being a great distance between habitations, he suffered much for both water and food. The entire four years were consumed in making the trip from Jacksonville to Macon, and his first ride in all that time was in Superintendent Harmon’s wagon from the Houston- road to Ross Home.

An Indian’s Trick.

6t. Lout* Globe-Democrat. In 1882 and 1883, while traveling for a large St. Louis house in the Indian Territory, I learned more of Indian traits and Indian character than I could have found out from reading ICO Indian stories such as were written by J. Fenimore Cooper, Mark Twain and : Bill Nye. You never meet an Indian on the road in the Indian nations,, but ' our .-FJlI'iX? _j3.liic*ll y and suddenly emerges from tiie tall grass or brush of the wayside, stands on the highway ih front of you and says “How.” You tell him you are well and he says “Whisky.” When he is informed that you are out of that drug he puts to you the single word interrogative, “bacco?” You hand him your plug, expecting him to cut or bite off a small corner, and in a second the whole plug disappears between his molars in his capacious mouth. My Indian li ( qst, ,wlio spoke fair English, advised me to cut the' Vemaining plugs I had ih small pieces and give only one piece at a time. Six different times between Muskogeaand Okmulgee, in the Creek Country, at places a quarter of a mile apart, did the same Indian spring out of the grass on the road in front of me and greet me,with a friendly “How?” He had cut a circuit in the grass each time to come out ahead of me, and lie used slight dis guises of dress, thinking that I did nm recognize him as the man who took first chuck of tobacco. But I made him run about eight miles for about a plug and a half of tobacco.
