L0NDON's DISABLED HORSES.
Many of Them Eaten by Street Gamin
in Sandwiches.

MANY OF 1hem Eaten by street Gamins
in Sandwiches.
w. III. Ross, secretary to Harrison &
Barber, Observation-Disclosures, told Pail 5Eall
Gazette reporter the other day that thew
have seven slaughter-houses in the metro
politan area, the largest being that in the
York road, Camden Town. They slaugh-
tered $4,000 horses year. When horse
broke limb or sustained other irremedi-
able injury on the street the police at once
communicated with their nearest depot
The company had frequently been charged
with cruelty in allowing E:aimed horses to
lie about for hours before sending men to
end their sufferings The truth was thew
were very particular in this respect, and if
such delays occurred it was through no
fault OF theirs. Was horsefesh much used
for food? Yes, to considerable extent,
he should say. Their charter did
not allow of their selling horseflesh
for food purposes, but there
were such establishments in the
city. He had himself eaten horse meat in
France, and at the company's annual din
ner 1t was served to the guests, some of
whom declared they would not have
known it from beef had they not been
told. Fine. fat horses were slaughtered
every week, horses that were perfectly
| sound, except for some accidental injury,
and he saw no reason why this flesh
| should not be eaten. He had often seen
| street gamins buy slice of dried horse
flesh, place it between two bits of bread.
and eat it as sandwich OF course. most of
the prepared horsefesh passed under the
| name OF cats meat, but it seemed incred-
ibie that the cats could consume it all.
Every part Of the horse was put to some
use-tlesh, hide, hair, hoofs and bones.
Now that (and Mr.. Ross held up small
vial of beautifully transparent oil) was
| horse oil. One would scarcely think such
oil as that could be got from the horse.
Those other bottles contained oils of infe-
rior quality. They were used for lubricat-
ing purposes and for soap-making Most
soaps nowadays contain horse grease.
Armed with cigar and an order from
the Secretary of the company, our re-
porter made his way to the premises in
York road. The obliging manager said
| they had had only four horses in to-day.
But about Z. 800 were slaughtered here an
nually. Most of the animals were cab,
| bus or tram horses The establishment
turned sut about twenty-tons of horsefesh
| every week. They had forty-six dead and
twenty-one live horses in now. They con-
tracted with the various cab, bus and tram
companies for injured horses at thirty shil-
lings each, alive or dead Most of the live
horses they got in were injured internally
by overwork or falling. A few were gone
with congestion of the lungs. The work
OF slaughtering went on day and night,
there being two gangs of men for that pur-
pose. Horses were killed at night by
three ''knackers." Fifteen horses were
considered a good nights work The suf-
ferings of the poor brutes were soon al an
end, rs they were rendered insensibIe bv a
blow from heavy ax.-PaN Mail Gazette.

Nothing in 1t.
Placer Republican. ]

The valley papers are unduly exercised
over communication from prominent
official to the city officers of Sacramento,
saying there is hydraulicking going on all
over the upper part of Placer, and that
there is an elaborate system of telephones,
watchmen and signals to protect them
from strangers. We are morally certain
that the whole story originated from a
filP' which practical joker OF Auburn
gave to certain detective who is, or was,
employed by theanti-debris people of Yuba
county. At any rate there is nothing in it.

:
hr'n' heavy step slowly assembled the
stairs. The door New open, aud into
the room strobe big sun burned. large.
honed man, with grSt flashing eyes.
while liveried servaN announced
''Mr. Robert Burns"
A buzz of suppressed excitement, and
a general movement among the assem-
bled company greeted the entrance Of
the famous poet, who was alteady cele-
brated, not only throughout Edinburgh,
but through the whole length aud
breadth of Scotland Amid the uniyer-
sal hustle no one noticed the crippled
boy, who, with sudden flush on his
thin face, was devouring with his daep,
earnest eyes every movement of his
chosen hero.
Later in the evening, the lady of the
house begged Burns to write some verses
in her album lie was just about to do
80, when short poem on the next page
caught his eye. 1t was simple little
piece, describing soldier lying in the
snow of battlefield, but the great poet
iOou ~ WIN oFiucut luItTesJ.
WHO wrote yon poem :" asked he.
in his deep, strong voice.
But the lady could only tell him that
it had been copied for her out of book
of extracts; and all the rest, when they
looked at it, were equally at loss
just then the little cripple called out:
II know whose it is, Mr. Burns, aud
it you'll wait minute, think | can
find it for you"
He ran into the next room, and came
back presently, with big aud rather
dusty book, which he opened before the
poet, who cast one rapid glance at the
lads kindling face, and then said,
gravely:
"Ye've begun to study these things
airly, laddie."
Then, as the boy blushed and cast
down his eyes, Burns clapped him en-
couragingly on the shoulder, and added
This boy will be heard of yet
And he was heard of in after years,
as one Of the greatest poets and writers
Of historical romance that ever lived. for
the crippled boy whom Burns appauded
was no other than Walter Scott.

Suggestions to Horse Owners.

Give tho horse large stall and a
good bed at night. 1t is important that
he lie down to rest.
DO not expect your horse to DO equal
ly good at everything. The horse, like
the man, must be adapted to his work.
Near tho close of journey let the
horse walk. Ii covered with sweat rub
off with a rag, to prevent too sudden
cooling
Collar gals and bruises are benefited
by washing with salt water. Wash
shoulders daily when using the horse
Brine is good also for stiff joints.
Never allow anyone TO tickle or tease
your horse in the stable. The animal
only feels the torment, and docs not un-
derstand the joke. Never beat the
horse when in the stable, as nothing I'd
soon makes him permanently vicious.
Keep horses bedding dry and clean
underneath as well as on top. Stand
ing in hot, fermenting manure causes
thrush.
Use the currycomb lightly. When
used roughly lis source of great pain ;
brushing and rubbing are the proper
means TO secure glossy coat. Let the
heels be brushed out every night Dirt,
it allowed to take in, causes sore heels
When horse comes in from Jour
