A NEGLECTED SOURCE OF
FOOD.

Ages ago when our toretathers
were worshippers Of Odin and the
rest of the dead divinities of North
ern Europe, horse flesh was ac-
counted Il delicacy fit for the gods.
When q warrior died, the "funeral
baked meats" were carved from
his slain charger; and in all re.
ligious celebrations the horse fig
ured, as the bullock did in the sac
rifcial feasts Of other nations
Thus horse flesh and paganism
were found to be inseparable when
the Gcrmanic and Scandinavian
tribes were christianized by royal
proclamation. The new m d
christian could not begin 6 dinner
at which his favoriSe meat appear
ed without relapsing to his ances.
trail religion and going through the
entire round Of pagan rites with
which horse flesh had been so long
associated. AS q natural conse-
quence, horse flesh became not
only synonymous with paganism
but one of its defenses-we should
have said bulwarks if the sound
had permitted. Against it the
bulls of the church wore hurled,
and it's use was prohibited un-
der pain of eternal damnatlon.-
Gradually: as christianity gained
ascendcncy, the obnoxious meat
passed out of use, and in process
Of time it came 10 be regarded
by Europeans as "long pig" was
by the christianized descendants OF
man. eating FIJI islanders, with an
adherence as intense as the origi-
nal liking had been.
Subsequent generations have in
herited the prejudice and forget
its origin. To this day the multi
tude stand ready "to cry unclean"
the moment horse flesh is mention
ed as 40 article Of food, though it
would puzzle them to give one
substantial reason for so regarding
it.
The truth is that no meat can
be cleaner. The horse is one Of
the incest Of feeders, and as choice
in his drinking as in his diet; and;
us has been abundantly proved by
the experience Of modern Europe,
where horse flesh has lately be-
come an important element in the
food supply, the meat which we
reject is at once wholesome, nutri-
cious, and nearly if not quite as
savory as beef: AS we are no long
erin danger ofreIapsing into pagan
ism with the tas.e fit, the only
sanitary reason, moral or other
wise, for avoiding it is done away
with.
There remains the economical
reason for it's disuse arising from
the fact that good horses are
worth more for other purposes.
But the time comes when the best
of horses ceases to be profitable
for service. What then?
Occasionally a favorite animal
is provided for in his old age and

"Poor Louise! poor orphan -

"God pity her indeed, sir said

place where the coach went over.
He had been struck dead by the
same fash of lightning that blind

And thus ended this thrilling
and remarkable story OF life.

We we're much impressed lately BY

end of every month. We begged a
COPY for the benefit of our readers
They were called RULES and Reguls-

SOMETHING FOR eve SMO-
KERS..

a mcerschaum pipe is one Of
the very best things a man can
have, and gives him more pleasure
for the amount OF money expend-
cd than anything else be can buy.
From the moment be makes up
his mind that he must have one,
the pleasure begins. He looks
in the shop windows, and critical
Iy inspccts the different styles and
sizes of the pipes he sees there,
and wonders whether his means
will allow him to buy one Of the
more elaborate specimens. At
last he selects a shop and goes in,
and asks the prices of the pipes
be likes, and after many assur-
ances from the dealer that the one
that he has chosen is real carV-
ed meerschaum. and that it will
color beautifully, he pays the bill
and goes off with his pipe snugly
reposing in its morocco case in
his pocket. Then he buys pack
ct of tobacco from his regular deal
er, and in the pride Of his heart
produces his pipe. case, and tender
ly takes out his pipe and shows 1t
to him. The dealer takes it up
very gingerly, examines careful
ly, and says it is pretty piece OF
meerschaum, and inquiries how
much it cost, and where it was
bought. The price being told
him, he says it is cheap, and ad'
vauces the opinion that it will COL
or prettily. The owner sagely
wags his head and concurs. He
then starts off for home, and on
his way stops to get his usual
glass Of ale, and shows his new
acquisition to his friend the bar
keeper, who admires it and calls
up whoever else may be in the
room to come and do likewise
The owner Of the pipe then treats
the crowd, and goes on his way
happy in the possession OF an
excellent pipe, a fine piece OF
real first quality cut meerchaum,
with an amber mouth piece, and
which will certainly color teauti,
fully. When he gets home be
shows it to his wife, and calls on
her to admire it and rejoice with
him. Some women have no soul
for pipes, meerschaum or other
wise, bat in this instance she is
woman Of the right sort, and joins
heartily in his admiration, and sug.
gests that it is much prettier pipe
than the one he lost at the picnic,
and hints that it is far superior in
every way to Mr.. Smiths new
pipe that he was boasting of the
other evening. She tells him that
he can now throw away that hor,
rid wooden thing be had, which,
although she never said anything
about it, she always did think was
anything but nice. She winds ur
by telling him he must be very
careful to color it nicely, and lot
spoil it in the smoking, for the
right sort Of a woman under
stands something about pipes, as
we'll as everything else that her
husband Iii es. The important
question Of coloring comes up
next. He must select one Of two
ways in which to do it, and
before be bigins, before even
one pipeful Of tobacco can be
smoked, he must make up bis mino
as to which be will take. The first
