HOrseflesh as Food.

Horsefesh as an article of diet is
coming into favor in Paris and in some
of the cities of Germany. This is due
largely to the influence of scientists
like M. Isidore Geoffroy Saint Hilaire,
and of certain skillful veterinary sur
geons, who took the very practical way
of inviting the representatives of the
press and of medical boards to ban
quets, the principal dishes served at
which were of horsefesh, in order to
prove how excellent food it was. In
this way they showed that the new dish
was healthy and nutritious. Since the
year 1866 there have been places in
Paris where horsefesh has been kept
constantly on sale, just as beef is in or
binary butchers shops. In large cities
there are, and always will be, class of
people who will find it economical to
use snch meat In preference to
any other and, as matter of fact, it
is in large cities that its consumption
is greatest. From 1866 to 1872, there
were slaughtered in Berlin alone 25,-
873 horses, an average of 1924 annually,
one-fourth part OF the meat being used
for human consumption. In Munich
the consumption of horsefesh was in
troduced in 1859, between which time
and 1872 there were slaughtered 1906
horses for such purposes. In Vienna
there were in 1867 two butchers who
dealt exclusively in horsefesh, and in
1870 there were eight. Edward Smith,
in bis work on foods, considers horse
flesh healthy and nutritious. Horse
flesh is used boiled, in the shape of a
hash, and in other forms. 1t makes
good soup, steak and sausage. In
Paris there have been slaughtered since
1866 20, l2S horses, 43, 700 of which were
killed in 1901. OF late years the
consumption has been increasing in
Paris, owing to the high cost of other
meat.

Upon this contest depends many
mighty questions; whether under our
free institutions this government of the
people, by the people, for the people, the
rich can so manage as to fatten forever
upon the fruits of labor; whether the
rich are to be forever growing richer,
and the poor poorer whether they who
produce the wealth of the land must
continue to live in poverty and want,
while they who produce nothing are to
riotin wealth and luxury; whether, in
word, to quote from our text, all men
are to be made equal in the pursuit of
happiness by enjoying the legitimate
fruits of their toll.
A few words as to the manner of con-
Quoting this contest. They who stand
upon the law must concede to their
opponents the protection of the law.
They who demand justice must render
jrstice. In this unexampled uprising
of the people prudence should control.
No one desires to ruin railroad COM
panies or other capitalists. 1t is simply
intended that # they will not act Justly
they shall be made to. If railroad
companies will not fix reasonable rates,
reasonable rates hall be fixed for them !;
and when law is made it shall be OBJ
served; and its observance shall be
enforced as the observance of other
laws is enforced, by the judicial arm of
the government. The whole people are
interested to discountenance and pre-
vent any lawless and violent proceed
ings against corporations. If they see
fit to violate the law, let us obey the
law, and compel them also, and compel
them by legal means. Rendering to
them full protection for all their just
rights, the people may demand the OBJ
servance OF their own; and thus we
shall continue to be people governed
not by violence, but by law.
country, with some honorable excep-
tions, will be found on the side of cap
ital, and from its influence with the
country press, which, though less than
heretofore, is still great, and from it's
ability to reach the mass of our reading
public, will prove one of the most
formidable agencies that labor will
have to contend with.
Capital is lavish of funds, and uns
scrupulous of means.
Labor has no funds to expend dis
honestly.
Those who stand by the people will
be denounced as demagogues, and every
measure of relief will be branded as at
violation of vested rights, and agrarian
in its tendencies. Thousands of dol
lars will be paid for professional opin-
ions, and editors will be bribed to de-
nounce every friend of the people a
acting from mercenary motives. This
bad influence will be met by the power
of the country press, which is conduct
ed by those who will generally take the
side of the people. The country press
is happily becoming more and more in
dependent of city control, and yearly
becoming more influential and power

Ruined by Vinegar.Drinklng.

A father writes the following to the
Reading (Pa) Edgle: The following
facts have recently learned, and give
them to you hoping that yon will in
vestigate the matter farther, and pub
lish the result for the benefit of the
many who are either directly or indi-
roctly concerned. My daughter at the
age of 19, last December, weighed 100
pounds.
Since then 1 have noticed a gradual
falling-off; she had become thin, pale
and comparatively emaciated; her Gus
tOmary healthy appearance had entirely
disappeared, and, astonishing to relate,
she now only weighs lis pounds, having
lost 40 pounds in the short space of six
months, and during the entire time
my wife or myself have not known our
daughter to be i'll single day.
We were at loss to account for this
most remarkable change, and after fully
discussing the matter we determined to
solve the mystery. Our daughter at
first evaded a direct answer, but she
finally divulged her secret. She says
that on the LIST of January she deter
mined, if possible, to reduce her weight.
She was told by fortune-teller to
drink strong vinegar in limited doses
before her meals three times day.
This she foolishly did and continued on
for months.
Nov she is completely broken down
in health-dyspeptic nervous, lethargic
and generally Respondent. Her color
is gone, her eyes dnll, and all ambition
seems to have departed. She says that
there are other girls of her acquaint-
ance practicing the same thing, but
with what ruinous results have not as
vet been able to learn.

A Story of Robert Emmett.

There is story told of this young
patriot in early life that proved his Sc
cretive power and resolution. He was
fond of studying chemistry, and one
night late, after the family had gone to
bed, he swallowed large quantity of
corrosive sublimate in mistake for some
acid cooling powder. He Immediately
discovered his mistake, and knew that
death must shortly ensue unless he in
stantly swallowed the only antidote-
chalk. Timid men would have torn at
the bell, reused all the family, and sent
for stomach-pump. Emmett called no
one, made no noise; but stealing down
stairs and unlocking the front door,
went into the stable, scraped some chalk
which he knew to be there, and took
sufficient doses of it to neutralize the
poison.

TEMpERING SrEEL.-It is not general
" known that steel can be made so hard
that it will pierce any substance but a
diamond. Many jewelers. and lapida-
ries experience great difficulty in get
ting the points of their drills hard
enough to pierce the amethyst. For
their benefit, as well as for that of
miners and others using drills requiring
a very hard point, the following method
of treatment is recommended The
drills should be held, if small, by hot
pincers or tongs while heating. The
teol should first be heated to white
heat, and then pressed into stick of
sealing-wax, left there for second, and
then removed and and inserted into the
wax in another place. The operation
should be repeated until the instrument
is too cool to enter the wax.

1T NEVER PAYS.

1t never pays to fret and growl,
When fortune seems our foe;
The better bred will push ahead
And strike the drawer blow.
For luck Is work,
And those who shirk
Should not lament their doom,
But yield the pay
And clear the way
That better men have room
It never pays to foster pride
And squander pride in show;
For friends thus won are sure to run,
In times of want or woe.
The noblest worth
or all the earth
Are gems of heart and brain,
A conscience clear,
A household dear,
And hands without stain.
1t never pays to hate toe,
Or cater to a friend;
To fawn and whine, much less repine,
To borrow or to lend.
The faults of men
Are fewer when
Each rows his own canoe;
The feuds of debts
And pampered pets
Unbounded mischief brew.
1t never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain,
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheaply bought with pain.
A humble lot,
A coy lot,
Have tempted even kings,
For station high
That wealth will buy,
Not oft contentment brings.

BREAD.--- The phosphorus which
wheat contains in the outer kernel, i'm
mediately beneath The husk, is the feeder
of brains, and the material substance
which provokes to thought, study, rea-
son and all the forms of nervous energy.
But the full value of wheat as civilizer
will never be fully realized until wheat
meal takes the place of bolted -four, and
the people learn to make bread without
yeast or risings. Good bread is emphat-
ically the "staff of life," but tne COM
mercial article is the way to dyspepsia
and premature death.

Roses IN ANCIENT TndEs.-Whole
shiploads of roses were brought to the
City of Rome, in which there were
shops where nothing but roses were
sold. The artistic garlands made there
of roses woven together were held in
such honor that the name of Glycera, of
Nicyon, famous artist in that line, has
come down to us and would compete
with name of Constantine. Whatever
the time of year, the Roman must then
have a rose in his wreath. The most
common bouquet was made of violets,
myrtle and roses.-Annual Register,

Farm Notes.

Far back in ages
The pillow with wresths was crowned,
The hands of kings and sages
Entwined ne chsplets round,
TIL men of spoil
Disdained the toll
BY which the world was nourished,
And blood and pi.lage were tbs soil
In which their laurels fourished.
Now the world her fault despairs-
The guilt that stains her story,
And weeps her crimes amid the cares
That form her earliest glory.
The throne shall crumose.
The disdem shall waBe,
The tribes of earth shall humble
The pride of those who reign;
Aud war shall lay
His pomp away;
The fame that heroes cherish,
The Story earned in deadly fray
Shall fade. decay and perish.
Homo, waits Ger all the earth,
Through endless generations,
The art that calls the harvest forth,
And feeds the expectant nations.
