HORSE FLESH AS FOOD.

English Speaking People Do Not Take
Kindly to the Idea.
English speaking people have never
taken kindly to the idea of eating horse
flesh, although some persons in this
country and many more in England
have, from time to time, strenuously adj
vocated its use. The belief, however,
that large quantities of horse meat are
fraudulently sold for more orthodox
meats in the latter country, has recently
provoked the people of Manchester and
Stafford to call a public meeting and pc
titiOn parliament to pass an act to COM
pei butchers, who sell horse flesh, to
label it as such.
In Paris, Berlin and Vienna, the popu-
be constantly Oh Of f.htorse flesh seems to
were slaughtered for food, in PARIS, hffGT ,e
GIG horses and mules, and in 1878 the
number increased to II, 319. In the win
ter seasons of these two years there
were slaughtered in Berlin about 5000
horses, the flesh of which was mainly
used for sausages The central horse
Strengthening establishment of Berlin
comprises an acre of land, upon which
are buildings for the inspectors, stables,
etc. Every morning the horses to be
slaughtered are mustered for inspection,
and such as appear diseased are con-
demned to the knockers. 1t is stated
that good horses are generally bought
for this purpose, the butchers buying
many young horses from the farmers
and breeders, which, for various reasons,
are not considered desirable to raise.
An enthusiastic French scientist de-
clares that the flesh of horses is more
digestible than that of other animals,
and it never contains the germs of tape
worms or other parasites which affiict
the human race. If physicians have to
prescribe raw meat, he thinks the flesh
of the horse should be chosen in prefer
ence, because it is more healthy, palat-
able and nutritious than that of the OK,
sheep or pig"
DR.. Billings observes that poor men
are often compelled by tyrannical law,
the result of a sickly, disgusting senti-
ment. to sacrifice to the knacker, who
pays them nothing, horses that few
weeks suitable feeding and rest would
make worth $40 to $50 for meat. Hun
dreds of so-called weeds" are yearly
born and raised by farmers and breeders,
to be at maturity, simply objects of tor
ture from their unfitness for work, that
at to months old would pay a reason
able profit to the owner as horse veals,
for the expense of rearing and breed
ing"
The use of horse meat was at one time
ali almost universal custom among the
pagan people of northern Europe and it
may be that the rapidly increasing popu-
lousness of modern nations, and conse-
quent difficulty of procuring food by the
poorer classes, may in time, swing the
custom round again. But it can never
prevail in this country while food is as
abundant and cheap as at present. Even
if it be wholesome and palatable, it will
take generations to remove the feeling of
repugnance to its use.-New York
Market Journal.

PACIFIC ISLAND TRADE.

1t is admitted that great Pacific
Island trade will be established in time
which Will be one of the chief reliances
of modern commerce. This Pacific Island
trade is not to be treated as a com
merciaI possibility, but as a reality
which is constantly increasing in i'm
throughout the 'ftel1peding its ramitications
exploration of the Pacific Ocean md6ee
practical navigation possible, this island
trade has been opened up gradually
by different nations, filling the sea with
floating riches and establishing sharp
international trade competition.
The general results have been that the
islands of the Pacific of late years have
added greatly to the worlds commerce;
and the nations now engaged in and
controlling to an extent the varied and
increasing trade of the Pacific may
be said fully to carry out, in COM
mercial existence, the idea of the
survival OF the fittest. 1t goes without
saying that the trade of the Pacific can
not be monopolized, simply because it
cannot be concentrated in large COM
mercial center This being the fact sey-
eral of the islands Of the Pacific have
established inter-island and foreign trade
relations which are both profitable and
commendable. 1t is equally true that
large quantity of the South Pacific Island
trade is carried on by the Australasian
Colonies; but, as it is built upon a basis
of commercial competition, islands sit
uated further north cannot reasonably
be excused for neglecting to develop so
desirable trade.
What may be done in this trade may
be roughly estimated by taking the re-
turns of the value of exports from one
Colonial point, say Auckland, for an av-
erage quarter. The exports from Auck-
land to the Pacific Islands for the quar-
ter ending December 81, 1885, amounted
in round numbers to 1874, 900. The inn
ports for the same period from island
ports were 1000. This leaves bal
ance of trade iii favor OF Auckland for
the quarter of $4,000, to which may be
added a large profit on the imported
goods generally exchanged for these eX- /
ports.
This Pacific Island trade, however, is /
not an enterprise to be jumped into and /
made to return an immediate profit, as
may be done in an established market; /.
it must be begun slowly, fostered jude
iously and built up permanently to be OF /
lasting benefit to this country. 1t can /
be done, however, from small begin
nings if our merchants and ship owners /
determine to foster privately what will .
in the end develop into public good .
and a general and profitable commerce. /
Ventures on small scale have been .
made already in this direction, which !.
have proved that private individuals may
become commercial pioneers at profit
in this South Sea Island trade. Prop
erlv fostered and conducted there is no
good and sufficient reason why We should
not build up a general island trade, as
there is nothing to prevent us from speed
ilv establishing reciprocity with many OF
these islands TO the benefit OF all con-
cerned. The tendency OF such plan
would be to increase our trade and
strengthen orr treaty relations with the

PAN AND SYRINX.

There was secret vale in Already,
Wherein grew many flower sweet to
smell,
And many pleasant shadow Of tree
Darkened the slant sides of the cup-like
dell;
And day and night did birds make
melody,
And clear streamlet slipt through fern
and brake,
Singing until it ceased within lake.
And often when the drowsy summer heat
Had wrought longing for some little
rest,
Here from the chase did Artemis retreat,
With bow unloosened and bare snowy
breast;
And maidens following with buskined
feet
Trooped through the fern that bathed
them to the knee,
While the red staghounds leapt beside in
glee.

Amateur Photographers Becoming Ex


1t is known that amateur photography
has been cultivated with enthusiasm of
late, especially in this country, where it
has been carried in several instances to
the point of perfection. There is doubt,
indeed, whether some of our amateur

the tradesmen. In England the taste for

The desertion and rearrest of Paymaster
Watkins, of the navy from the man OF war
Ossipee, when in japanese waters reads
like romance.
Irregularities IN his accounts had led to
his suspension, but he had not been placed
under arrest when, of an April night, he
suddenly disappeared.
His room was found in its usual condition,
money, jewels aud watch lying about, and
his unopened mail on his desk.
hastily written will was found, aud it
was rumored that he had committed suicide,
"pOor devil"
Eight cutters from the ship dredged the
harbOr for his body, and for two DAYS they
were aided by many from the shore, in
spired by reward OF Sl03. Finally the
men who had taken Watkins in a boat down
the harbor came forward and stated that he
had taken white passenger down Yeddo
bay to a little schooner called the Arctic,
which got under weigh that night, and never
suspected who the passenger had been until
he returned to Yokohama. 1t was at once
surmised that the Arctic was bound for
Steamboat bay, little nook in the western
end OF Skoran Island, and rendezvous of
the otter hunters.
After long search along the coast the
Arctic was found and interviewed by an
armed cutter, but no trace OF the fugitive
found. The captain admitted having landed
man named Gordon, who had grey hair
and said that the photograph of black haired
Watkins resembled him.

only by half savage Ainios and Japanese,
and here living a la Robinson Crusoe in a

The belief in the occurrence of sea-ser-
pents In the ocean of to day, though hardly
openly averred, is not discoun tenanced by
not few scientific men whose opinions are
entitled to the highest consideration. DIR.
j. b. Holder, after giving Gin the Annals of
torical account of ses-serpent" observed
near Boston, corroborates the adduced test
mony by the description OF carcass of a
large and unknown animal found oil the
coast of Florida, as related by highly credit
able witnesses. The creature described was
over forty feet IN length, and nowhere OF
more than two feet in diameter. Uniortu-
nately the specimen was in an advanced
state OF decomposition, and no portion was
saved.
