LONDON'S DISABLED HORSES.
Many of Them Eaten by Hungry Street
Gamins in Sandwiches.

| Many of Them Eaten by Hungry Street
| Gamins in Sandwiches.
Mr. w. H. Ross, secretary to Harri.
| son Il Barber, horse slaughterers, toli
to reporter the other day that the,
have seven slaughter-houses in the
metropolitan area, the largest being
| that in the York road, Camden Town.
They slaughtered 5000 horses a year.
When a horse broke a limb or sus-
| tanned other irremediable injury or
| the street the police at once com.
municated with the nearest depot.
The company had frequently been
charged with cruelty in allowing
manned horses to lie about for hours
before sending men to end their stuff err
ings. The truth was they were very
particular in this respect and if such
delays occurred it was through nc
fault of theirs. Was horse-fieshmuch
used for food? Yes. to a considerable
extent, he should say. Their charter
did not allow of their selling horse
flesh 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
dinner it was served to the guests,
some of whom declared they would
cot 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 rea-
son why this flesh should not be eaten.
He had often seen street gamins buy q
slice of dried horse-flesh, place it be-
tween two bits of bread and eat it as a
sandwich! Of course. most of the pre-
pared horse-fesh passed under the
name of cats-meat, but it seemed in
credible that the cats could consume it
all.
Every part of the horse we put to
some use-flesh, hide, hair, hoofs and
bones. Now that (and Mr.. Ross held
up a small vial of beautifully trans
parent oily was horse oil. One would
scarcely think such oil as that could be
got from the horse. Those other bot
ties contained oils of inferior quality.
They were used for lubricating pur-
poses and for soap-making. Most soaps
nowadays contained horse grease.
Armed with a cigar and an order
from the secretary of the company.
our reporter made his way to the
premises in York road. The obliging
manager said that they had had only
four horses in to-day. But about T.
800 were slaughtered here annually.
Most of the animals were cab, bus
or tram horses. The establishment
turned out about twenty tons of horse
flesh every week. They had forty six
dead and twenty-one live horses in
now. They contracted with the vari-
GUS cab, bus and tram companies for
injured horses at thirty shillings 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 Strengthening went on day and
night, there being two gangs of men
for that purpose. Horses were killed
at night by three ''knackers." Fifteen
horses were considered good nights
work. The sufferings of the poor
brutes were soon at an end, as they
were rendered insensible by blow
from heavy axe. Pail Mall Gazette.

An Old Time Partisan.

It is easy to recall to mind his familiar
figure as he sits, during winter evenings,
in his favorite corner.
In his easy chair, with pipe in hand and
his silver-rimmed "specs" pushed back
until they find a soft resting place On his
beloved snow-white head, with eyes spark
ling and his face beaming with pleasure as
he calls back old memories of days long
gone by, he is likely to talk something after
this fashion:
ats a long time since was boy. All,
but that was many years ago. Sixty long
years have gone and the good Lord knows
they were short enough. I was then as
spruce and pert as any chap Whereabouts.
''Oh, but we boys were boys! Things
have changed heap since those days.
Boys then didn't take much stock in stylish
clothes and they didn't carry canes like
they do now. Clothes and canes didn't cut
much caper then, but it was good hard
sense and work.
1.-The boy who could do the biggest days
work-could cut the most wood, split the
most rails. plow the most corn, was the
most envied for he was sure to have the
sweetest and best lookin' gal at the 's,ngin'
school or apple peelin'.'
II tell you those were good old times!
II didn't think any thing Of going thirty
mile or more to see your grandmother,
and we didn't have very good roads either,
but generally had to follow some old Indian
trail
''Tallzin' about sickness then, there was
no sickness like now. If we had a cold, q
pain, or any thing, there was the best med
icine in the world found in any log cabin
home you came across. Why, remember
that my old grandmother, God bless her
soul, she's been dead these fifty years or
more, could make the best home made
medicine for miles around. Her 'sarsapa-
rilly' couldn't be beat. Come to think
just read in the paper about somebody who
is making this same old log cabin medicine,
under the name of warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla.'
'It does seem sple ndid to think that you
can buy those good old home cures at the
druggists nowadays.
'Mebby you think people were not
healthy in those days, but tell you that it
was mighty seldom anybody was sick long
when they had such good old grand
mother medicine so handy.
"People used to be stronger, healthier,
and they lived longer, when l was boy"

market. A sure market is the best OF
all, and the home market is the only
sure one.

toms.
There is probably no being in whom
the bump of amativeness is more devcl-
oped than ii is in the Frenchman. The
poor fellow must love; he cannot help it.
At l2 years of age he is deeply in love
with little girl he has met with her
mamma in one of the public gardens of
the town, and TO whom he prettily lifts
his hat before beginning game of bah
or hide and seek. He does not declare
his love. In the distance he throws
rapturous kisses at "her;' when near he
casts down his eyes and looks silly. He
dreams that his little lady love is being
carried off by some miscreant, that he
comes to her rescue, saves her, throws
himself at her feet, and declares himself
her slave forever.
At fifteen he loves u portly matron of
some forty summers, TO whom he sends
anonymous verses. He loves in silence
once more
From eighteen to twenty he loves pub
lie characters. Actresses have drawers
full of poetical effusions addressed TO
them by the upper forms of our public
schools.
At twenty-well, at tweaty--the less
we speak of what he loves the better.
The best excuse that can he advanced in
his favor is that his education as have
attempted To explain in another chap

mony and marries her. The parents at
first grumble, viii have nothing TO do
with the young couple for some time,
and generally relent ON the arrival of
the first baby.
As a rule, tho Frenchman does not
marry before he has reached the age
d thirty From thirty to thirty-iive is
the age at which he takes the great step.
Old bachelors are not impervious to
Capid's darts. You often see Frenchmen
entering the holy estate for the iirst time
at fifty or sixty. Their decided love for
good cookery and white linen frequently
beguiles them into marrying their cook
or laundress. These are the brides often
led to the altar by retired officers, and
installed in apartments in some suburb
of Paris.

tries; each time that he loves. it Is for

this:
Two young chemists (ons English, the
other French) were In partnership in
Paris, and one day made up their minds
to start afrcsh in Egypt. Each wrote to
his consul in Cairo. The Englishman's
letter ran thus:
DEAR SIR am about to open busi-
ness as q chemist in Cairo. Will you be
good enough to tell me what are my
chances Of success in Egypt, and what
formalities, IL any, Ishould have toe
