MISCELLANEA. 
Disposal of a Dead Horse in Paris. 
After the horses are deposited, the mane and tail are cut off - , 
which amounts to about a quarter of a pound ; the skin is then 
taken away, which is disposed of to tanners, and used for various 
purposes; the shoes are sold for old iron, the feet are cut off, dried, 
and beaten, in order to make the hoofs come away, or are left to 
putrify until they separate of themselves, when they are sold to 
turners, coach-makers, manufacturers of ammonia and Prussian 
blue. Every morsel of fat is picked out and melted, and used for 
burning by makers of enamel and glass toys, greasing shoe leather 
and harness, and manufacturing soap and gas. The workmen 
choose the best pieces of the flesh to eat, preferring that about the 
head, and sell the rest for dogs, cats, hogs and poultry. It is also 
much used for manure, and making Prussian blue. The bones are 
disposed of to cutlers, fan-makers, &c., and often are made into ivory 
black; and also occasionally serve as fuel for melting the fat, and for 
manure. The sinews and ligaments are sold to glue makers, the 
small intestines are made into coarse strings for lathes, & c., or sold 
as manure. — Era.
