!. 4 somewhat similar horscpitable expesl-
mcnt WAS tried on volunteers after lecture
on tie subject at the Garden Of 7Acclimation
in the Bots de Boulogne last year: All who
have eaten are agreed that, prejudice being
set aside, horse.meat is good eating. And
there is exclamation OF regret over the loss OF
lG0, ,o00 pounds Of nutritious horse meat lost
to hungry Frcnchmen annually by their un-
reasonable prciudices. Or other mcat-yictu-
als, mean while, the following statistics seem
to promise them tolerablc supply. There
are III France to-day three million horses,
three hundred thousand aases Equadruped5],
three hundred and sixty thousand mules, ten
millions two hundred Thousand neat cattle,

abundance Of drink, to be sure some small
rlyulcts run down foreIgn thzoats: but that Is
detail. The large estimate Of exports is only
about one twentieth part Of the whole pro-
duct; distillation into brandy takes up say
twice as much more; the rest is drunk in
France. And with ull that, do you know that
we have very good authority for the wotal
belief that we here in Paris, drink one-thIrd
