Roast Horse In England.

There arc many people who prefer
horse to beef, but, as it is point in
dispute, a practical step for solving
the doubt is being taken in Manches-
ter. A hundred horses are slaughter
ed in that city every week, and cut up
and sold as "butchcr's meat" The
trade is carried on in the poor districts
where the steaks find ready purchasers
at prices from 5 to 8 pence per pound.
There can be no pretense for saying
that the flesh of a healthy horse is not
fit for human food. There arc epicures
who prefer it to the choicest beef. but
it has been their rare good fortune
to get "a dainty dish" which does not
ordinarily come into the market.
The question is not whether the flesh
is fit to be eaten, but whether whole
some animal is killed for sale. II will
not pay a butcher to buy healthy
horse to slaughter and retail at prices
that is lower than is paid for beef, and
it may therefore be safely assumed that
the animals which find their way to the
shambles are either diseased or SO
''used up'' as to render them quite un-
suitable for poor mans table. There
is no doubt then that cruel fraud is
perpetrated upon the buyer of this
stuff by the butcher who deals in it,
and the only way to check it is by reg
ulating the sale under specific condi-
tions, and this is what they are trying
to bring about in Manchester. When
the restrictions arc enforced it will be
interesting to note whether horse-fesh
at pence per pound can compete with
American beef.-LiverpooI Courier.

How the Canadian Indians Fight.

A gentleman who has spent many
years among the Indians and half
breeds in the northwest declared that
they had attained remarkable prof.
cheney in the use of the rifle. Their
aim is unerring, and they seldom fail
to bring down their game. In years
gone by when q buffalo hunt was the
great event in the life of these people,
he had many opportunities of observ-
ing their skill, which was simply mar
velous. On these occasions everything
bearing in the remotest degree upon
the chase was left to u captain, who
gave the word for the attack. Until
then not move could be made. Sad
havoc was made in the rank of the
buffalo by these natives of the prairie,
although armed with only an old flint
rock rifle. Powder was carried in a
horn, strung across the shoulder, and
the balls, thirty-two to q pound, in the
mouth. Thus equipped and mounted,
the huntsman engaged in tho chase.
After discharging his rifle his steed
was guided by the knee and kept run
ming in the direction desired, the
powder was slipped deftly into the
chamber, and holding the barrel to his
mouth the ball was dropped into its
place; then striking the rifle across tho
knee, causing the ball and powder to
come together, the hunter was again
ready for another shot. The loading
of their rifles is thus done in a mo-
ment. If with such poor and anti
quated rifles such wonderful results
were accomplished it is not difficult to
account for the deadly effects of their
fire in the Duck Lake fight, armed as
they were with the most improved
weapons OF modern warfare. Toronto

John Bach McMaster, the historian,
thus describes the American beau of
1900: ..The pantaloons, of beau went
up to his armpits; to get into them was
mornings work, and, whom in, to
sit down was impossible. His hat was
too small to contain his handkerchief,
and was not expected to stay on his
head. His hair was brushed from the
crown of his head toward his forehead,
and looked, as satirist Of that day
truly said, as if he had been fighting
an old-fashioned hurricane back
ward. About his neck was a spotted
linen handkerchief; the skirts of his
green coat were cut away to matho-
matical point behind. "

Decaying Fruit.

American Agriculturis5.
It is a grief to go through our great
fruit markets to see the enormous waste
and think of the disappointed shippers.
All over the country, people who send
fruit to New York or other markets ex-
pect the top price. They often ge5 = bill
of expense. Why? The fruit was pack
ed carelessly, bruised in the handling
and packing, and worse than ali, great
quantities packed too ripe. Thousands
of crates and baskets of peaches and
pears, tens of thousands of crates of to-
matoes, thousands of barrels of apples
and melons are thrown away every year,
and this year has been especially hard
on fruits of all sorts. The moist weather
has forced a succulent growth, which is,
perhaps, the reason for the rapid decay.
The lesson to he drawn from this state
of things is, not to ship fully ripe fruit /;
to pack with great care, handling every
article separately. even though they
may be apparently hard. Time thus
expended is money saved. Do not un-
Justly blame the commission merchant
for what is your fault. 1t matters not,
if year after year you have shipped in
the same manner and received good re-
turns In some conditions of the market
anything that is fruit will sell well. In
times of abundance, the case is quite
otherwise. The prime article sells at a
fairly good price, while inferior goods
barely pay expenses, and sometimes
even net a loss.
