muoh OF IL goes 10 ,ed the English who arc unable to
produce enough for themselves. Beside the live stock
received IN both cities there is an enormous quantity 81
dead meat brought in. We have statistics of New
York. but the article from which We have taken our
! figures IN regard TO London, says:
"In the years ending with 1888 about 90 900 car
of beef and 600 carcasses OF mutton received
from Scotland, annually disposed OF IN Newgate
and Leadenha In the two years ending with 1903 the
average number Of the former received by railway and
steamboats, 1900 Of the latter 800 600 IL follows
therefore, that the production Of food IN Lnconshre

and Scotland, has steadily Increased during the last
years. and were II not that the dead markets were

At present, the prospect is even with an IN

We must bear in mind that France, ike ourselves
suffering from scarcity Of stock, compared with the
consuming powers of the country Last year the i'm

prices ruled high From that country. therefore,

for American farmers that the demand for sal; beef and
pork will continue to be- good that We can afford to
send this food England without cutting short our own

Amusing Punishment in New zea-
land.

2 The head chief often interferes in
minor matters Of domestic nature
For instance, if a lazy fellow has wife
or two, and couple Of children, and
through his love for fishing, dancing
and lettering idly about, neglects to
bringin the necessary supplies for his
family, complaint is made, the chief
visits the house in person. and if he sees
Just cause for punishment, he orders-out
the population Of the village. Men,
women and children arm themselves
with stiff birch made Of small canes,
then form long double line, about six
feet apart, and await with anxious glee
the approach of the delinquent. At
last he is placed at one end of the line,
amidsta shower of yells, screams, jibs,
&c. The word is given by the chief,
and away he darts at his utmost speed
through the ranks, every one endeavor-
ing to hit'him as he passes. Accordingly
to his deserts, he may get off with run
ming the line once, or he may have to
do so twice or thrice but he is skilled
IN cunning and Heetness that can run
the line even once without his skin
tickeled for him by the hearty applica-
tion of the birch, welded by some strong
women As the punishment is not of
fatal kind, the whole affair creates unre-
stricted merriment. If the victim is
smart fellow, he may escape with but
few blows bat If he is sulkv. heavy
and logged, he pays for it. For one
month afterwards the families of victims
are provided for by the public at large,
under the fatherly superintendent
of the chief AT the expiration of that
time, if he has all his domestic matters
in perfect order, as good father and
provident husband ought to have, he
resumes his place in society, and shortly
afterward, perhaps, helps, with an ex-
perienced hand, to fagellate some one
else,
