five years ago he noticed that some
thing in connection with the tnllow
was preventing its union with the lye
in the floap-muking process. He con
cluded thnt there was an acid of some
kind in the tallow, and on making
that stnteinent to the firm that sup
plied the tallow it was admitted that
the meat mon were using a wash for
the meat, and that it was boracio aoid.
.He asked if the fluid was injected in
the meat, and was told that it was
used only on the surface before the
meat was put into the ice-chest. The
aoap-maunfacturer adds that he has
often since that time noticed in butch

deniably washed with a preserving
liqnid or powder was avoided by the
flies, while they would swarm on un
treated meat. He had observed also
that he had less trouble with the acid
in oold weather, when it was presuma

used.

The Old Uniform.!
;
A Story of the Zouaves.
One of my desk-mntes in the office
at the ministry of war was an ex-non
commissioned ollicor, Henri Vidul. He
had lost a left arm in the Italian cam
paign, but with bin remaining hand he
executed marvels of caligrnphy down
to drawing with one pen-ntroko a bird
in tho llourisli of his signature.
A good follow, Vidal; tho type of
tne upright old sohlior, liar.lly 40, with
a sprinkling of gray in bin blonde im
perial he had beou in the Zouaves.
We nil rallod him Pore Vidal, more
respectfully than familiarly, for we nil
know bin honor nnd devotion. He lived
iu a cheap little lodging at Orenello,
whore on the money of his cross, his
peunion and his salary he managed
to support bin widowed sister and
her thiee children.
As nt that time I, too, was living in
the southern suburb of Tarin, I often
walked home with Pere Vidal, and I
used to make him tell of bin campaigns
as we passed near the military school,
mooting nt every step -it was at the
close of the empire the splendid uni
forms of the Imperial Guard, green
chasseurs, white lancers and the dark
and magnificent artillory officers, black
and gold, a costume worth while get
ting killed in.
As we walked along the hideous
Boulevard de Orenello he stopped sud
denly before a military old-clothes
shop there are many like it in thnt
quarter a dirty, sinister den, showing
in its wiudow lustod pintoln, bowln

"Look!" he aid; "that's the uni

Drawing nearer, he made out the
number engraved on the buttons and
went on with enthusiasm:
"My regimeut! The First Zouaves!"
Suddonly his hand shook, his face
darkened: dropping his even, he mur
mured, in a horror-stricken voice:
"What if it were his!"
Then brusnuely turning the coat
about he showed me in the middle of
the back n little round hole, bordered
by a black rim blood, of oourse it
made ono shudder, like the sight of a
wouud.
"A nasty scar." I said to Pore
Vidal, who had dropped the garment
and was hastening away. And fore
seeing a tale, I added to spur him on:
"It's not usually in the back that bul
lets strike captains of the Zouaves."
He apparently did not hear me: he
mumbled to himself: "How could it
