"J,nsxms:m tins tilood-Dririkfnj tit i'aris. There are nearly l.OuO men and boys Mnployed In the abattoirs, and they begin their work as early as 3 or 4 9 'clock in the morning, and are usually through for the day about 11 or 12 o'clock (noon); Their metlwd of kill ing is to stun the ox and cut the throats jf the sheep. The ox is led t bis place 3f execution often against his will, for it seems almost as though instinct, or more probably the smell or the blood of the preceding victims, tells him that death is at hand. But bis struggles are In vain. Twenty or thirty men with ropes and progs are too much for even frightened bull, and he stands quiver ing in every limb before his execu tioner. Before he has been taken from his stall the black cap has been put over his head so that he cannot see his surroundings, else would he be still more desperate in his flht. There he stands, with scores of carcasses ail around him and th very ground crimson with blood, of which the very odor causes him to tremb'e. Fur a moment he pauses in bis struggling, bewildered by the rough handling he has received from the combined strength of so many men, and by the strangeness of the blind-folding cap. That pause is fatal Whiff" goes the executioner's slim hammer as it crashes through the bull'.? skull, and instantly all of his l uihg completely relax. The legs have no more strength, and the gieat fat beast drops "with a dull thud" to the ground. - One more blow between the horns quickly follows. Then a long stick half an inch in diameter Li thrust through the first hole In tho skull to a depth of fourteen or sixteen Inches; a rope is quickly looped over tho uppet fore lejr as the animal lies struggling, on its side, and the Ug is held firmly against the body to protect the cut throat, who now bounces upon the neck as David did the fallen Goliath, and thrusts his keen blade through the main arteries of the throat. See the dark crimson flood gushing forth in a stream six or eight iuchei wide and two inches thick! See the blood-suckers, these vulture consuui tives, rush up with their cups of silver or glass to catch the precious blood as eagerly as though sinners plunged be neath that flood lose all their guilty stains I It is a sight once seen never to be forgotten. I once witnessed the execution of a 20-year-old boy when the rope broke and the couderaned had to be carried, half dead, again to the scaf fold and be held np while another rope was adjusted to his neck; and I have heard the shrieks of a mother who, on the morning of the execution, was re fused a last farewell of her son; but, cruel and brutal as did these Incidents seem at the time, they were not so hor rible as was the sight of these blood drinkers crowding and struggling aliout their helpless prey, and almost quarrel ing with each other in their atteunp's to get the heart's best blood ere Uu heart had hardly ceased to thiob. Oh, noble humanity! Here in this motley crowd of some twenty or thirty consumptives are old men who, though feeble, come every day for their favorite beverage. Here are youm; girli of H or 15 years who have hacking cousin, or whose systems are delicate. They stand there in pods of blood and drink their medieli.e without a wince. Here, is a richly clad mother who, I am told, has hardly ever failed during tlie hist year to come every niorniDj with her baby, now 4 years old, and IxjIIi niot':er and child drink of the blood. At tirst the very thought of it makes them sick, but soou the appetite grows on them like the apitetite tor opium or strong drink. They cease to think of itsri pulsiveness, and then they themselves become repulsive. rhHosopliy of Burial. Vhen men began to bury their dead they did so in the firm belief in another life, which life was regarded as the ex act counterpart of the present one. The unsophisticated savage, holding that in that equal sky his faithful dog would bear him campany, naturally enough had the dog in question killed and buned with him in order that it might follow him to the happy hunting ground. Clearly, you can't hunt with out your arrows and your tomahawk; so the flint weapons and the trusty bow accompanied their owner to his new dwelling place. The wooden shaft, the deer-sinew bowstring, the perishable art les of food and drink have long since decayed within the damp tumulus; but the harder stoue and earthenwaie articles have survived till now, to tell the story of that crude and simple early faith. Very crude and illogical, ijdeed, It was, however, for it is qnite clear that the actual body of the dead man was thought of as persistlug to live I sort of underground life within the bar row. A stone hut was con itructed for Its use; real weapons and implements were, left by its side, and slaves and wives were ruthlessly massacred, a; still in Ashantee, in order that their bodies might accompany the corpse a the bulled master In his subterranean dwelling. In all this, we have cleai evidence of a very inconsistent, eavagu. materialistic belief, not indeed in the immortalityof the soul, but in the con tinued underground life of the deac body. a Farly RUr.

A Tacoma Dramatlo Critic In dulges In Sarcasm Of tho "Cut ttngest" Kind. About 2 o'clock yesterday aft ernoot a large load of soft, symmetrical saw dust was delivered at the back door oi the Tocoraa theatre by a local sawmili man, says a writer In the Ledger o that town. Whether or not this hac anything to do with the improved ap pearance of the girls in the perform ance of "The Queen's Mate" last nighi cannot be definitely stated. At anj rate, fewer of the chorus seemed to be wearing their limbs upside down, sc that they were bigger at the bottoms than at the top, a condition of things painfully apparent the previous even. IDfT. The cental manager has also per luaded four of the girls to wear gutts percha buttons on their elbows tc avoid scratching the paint of the new joenory. Of couree, this innovation makes it rather unpleasant for the firls at first, but they will get used tc it i This climate Is not at all favorable for chorus girls. The constant drizzle and fog necessitates the wearing ol macintoshes and rubber boots on their voices while traveling to and from the theatre. This is very annoying to the firl who has been in the habit of wear ing her voice decollete, but then per- lonal comfort must give way to pro fessional interest when the occasion lemands it. One rash girl neglectel to wrap up her vocalizer before leaving the hotel. The result of it was she itood so long by the radiator dryio aer voice that she delayed the per formance fifteen minutes and was fined lor want of tact . Another change which Mr. Ilanna was compelled to make in the chorus was in regard to cheek painting and 'raining; On the opening night the Drilliant sulphurino in the proscenium balance did not glint with all the rlitter of which it was capable under favorable circumstances. Last night. however, the girls were requested to 'one down their facial tints and leave )IT the priming coat. It was done and ;he sulphurino blazed forth with all the splendor of an Italian sunset No proscenium arch, no matter how gor jeous it may be, can compete with the aead end of a bunched chorus which looks like an exploded vermilion factory. later. A bad temper is a curse to the pos lessor, and its influence is most leadly wherever it is found. Howev er, there are times whon an outburst of temper is inevitable. "Needn't tell me de dumb man didn't say nuffin dat Qignt he fell oberde wheelbarrer, ob serves Opie Read. It is allied to martyrdom to be obliged to live with one of a complain ing temper. Indeed, many a beautiful formed mouth is made hideous by the fiery tongue within it It is a curious coincidence that the woman who has a temper of her own is seldom willing to keep it Anger, in its common aspects, is one of the basest passions of ignoble minds. Strive to keep your temper and your temper will keep you out of much trouble. Ill-natured people who aspire to be loftior than the orainary run of mankind should ponder ovei the remark of Bulwer : "Nothing can constitute good breeding that has not good nature for its foundation." As we have already intimated, there ire times and occasions when anger is sntirely justifiable. One of these oc lasions when a woman has a right to make everybody in the neighborhood Sliruba tree is thus described by a ru ral poet : The wind it blode and fecht the dust Up from the rode, then mam kust, Saso dad's now shirt was on the line.

Ibelteallstlc Battle Picture at Broad and Cherry Sts., Pliilu. The cycloramn ot tlie Battle of Gettysburg at the northeast cormr of Broad anil Cherry streetj has become one of the most attractive features of Philadelphia. Ti ls stupendous exhibi tion has to be seen to be appreciated, as no description can 6 It justice. Standing on the spectators platform, one seems to have been lifted out of Philadelphia and set among the peals of tlie Blue Kidge Mountains. For miles on every side strrtches out the rugged nioontain scenery. In tlie foreground are arranged stoue walls,old trees, cannons and wheels in various stages of wieckage. These are so artistica-ly arranged that the closett scrutiny does not reveal to the eye where the natural ends aud the artificial begins. 1 he various points of the bat tle are illustrated in the most ntural way. On one side is tlie historical stoue wall facing the famous wheat lield where the last stand was made nijalnst Pickett's famous onslaught. Here a h md-to-hand fight is taking place so natural that one can almost see ths wounded fall under tho blow of the uplifted musket bu't. A little fur ther on is the explosion of the powdei in a caisson, sending several artillery men to Instantaneous death and wound ing many thers around it. This ex plosion Is pronounced by old s!dl-rs the most realistic piece of work they have ever seen. Standing at one point of the plalfjrin the spectator faees a loiif road,ihedeep ruts in the soil which lead rlht to his feet. Diwn the road comes a body of artillerymen, with a dash and a sweep that carries everything fcefore it, and males the visitor to the cyclorama in stmctlvely step aside to get out of ifie way of the flying horsemen and avoid being crushed to death. At another point the hopital corp3 is working en ergetically in removing tlie wonnded men to an old blacksmith shop, which is being used as a hospitaL Some of the meu a: themselves wounded, but re doing their utmost to aid tneircom rades, aud the wounded men painted are so true as to cause a shudder to run through one. Taken as a whole the Fjiectacle Is grand in every resject, and in no other wav can the excitement and norr. rs of a great battle be thoroughly lealizet An hour's view of this wonderful mc'. ttnle would be worth a visit to the citv 11 for nothing else. tl4 a WorlJ rf Fxprrirare.
