Besides this, when soldier is sick

while at the same time he Is well
taken care of, and at the end of 30
years he retires on a good pay

out of his $50 or have nothing.

Is it HYpnotism I?

"Ever since the city assessor as.
sessed my watch along with my
other personal effects, the watch
has stopped running, although for
merly it was one of the best time
keepers in the city," said "Johnnie'
Russell yesterday. He got the
watch for 50, but it was assessed at
$40, and he has a faint suspicion
there is some analogy between the
unjust assessment and cost price,
which has disturbed the fine equi-
librium Of the watch's mind.
Here is a case which might be
watched by the student of hypno.
tism, whether the finely bal
anced mechanicism OF the watch
and the equally finely adjusted
Judgment OF the city assessor have
any sympathy in common, and II
so, which is the positive and which
the negative.
Johnnie" may figure this out
the next time he goes a-fishing.

Our Consul in Germany Opens a New
Field for Him.
SUGGESTS THAT WE SHIP HORSES
RATHER THAN CATTLE.
AS Our Cattle Are Prohibited in Germany
and THERE'S q Demand for Horse Flesh
They Could be Proftably Raised for
the Market by Our Ranchmen.

Washington, March 3l.-Edward S.
Tingle, United States consul at Bruns-
wick, Germany, in report just re-
ceiyed says: In view of the prohibi-
tion of Germany markets to American
cattle, there is another direction toward
which American packers might well
turn their attention, and that is the
preparation and sale of horse meat
While the exact statistics as to the con-
sumption of horse meat are difficult TO
obtain. it seems almost as great as beef
or mutton in the large cities of Germany.
In the smaller cities where there is some
prejudice against horse meat. the con-
sumption is about third OF beef. In
those places the use OF horse meat is
growing daily. It's consumers are exclu-
sively of the poorer classes, and they
comprise nine-tenths of the consumers
of the country. Beef and other first
class meats cosE fifteen to twenty-five
cents a pound in Germany and are out
of reach of the average workman who
receives sevelty-five cents or dollar a
day."
The demand for horse meat in Germa-
ny, Mr.. Tingle states, has grown to such
all extent that it is beginning TO be di tii-
cult Ito supply il, Formerly German
butchers had little diff Guilty in procur-
ing for slaughter horses either worn out
or injured So as to he worthless. The
supply of this class of animals is about
exhausted. and horses for butchering
now cost S45 TO $50. where formerly they
could be had from So to $40. Tue conse-
quence is the butcher finds he must raise
che prices Mr.. ingle says horses can
lie raised in the United States much
cheaper than cattle. They can be
slaughtered by any American packing
houses as easily as cattle and can lie
shipped alive across the sea much more
easily. than cattle. They can be sold
either on the hoof or dressed at GER
tainly greater price than seven cents per
pound. The meat is consumed in Ger
many in both the salted and smoked
state. with the astonishingly rapid dis
use of horses in America" says Col.
Tingle, their raising them especially in
the Vest is far from being the profitable
industry it was If a ranchman can
make the raising OF horses for food profit
able why should he not do it?"

with Cargoes of wood pulp. One schooner,
the Bessie D., arrived last week, and her
arrival was announced in he PRESS. Two
other schooners. the Bessie and the Joseph
Emhree. are supposed TO be on their way.
and others are TO follow. The mills at Pert
Midway can make about twenty-five tons
day of wood pulp, while those at Berlin
Falls havo grinding capacity of eighty
tons day. when theg run four lines OF
grinders. Now they are running but ono
line OF grinders, and only during eight
hours out of the twenty-four. They have
no. as yet reduced their pay roll employing
| aDout four hundred men, hut they have
been forced to decline many orders. Eav-
ing all they can do I'LL their contracts even

as rapidly rs possible thess rfu of the frat
schooner will be sent fs1ssfsrd. Z he trst
four cars will be sent to the mills al Aaver-
hill, Mass.
Mr.. Hammond says the troubl with The
Androscoaein river is the lack of rain in
the !s&e country. There has osen no heavy
rain; there for the last two years, that is
not long continue rain that would fill up
the lakes, and the Rsngeley lake section
has now s@- been drawn un Enearly to its ut
most contributing capacity. Nj. Hammond
said that Mr.. Parker Of the Berlin Mills
company who was through the lake section
very recently said that the water was never
as low before. In places where the depth
had never been ascertained great rocks pro-
ject upwards through the ice. The gates
are open, but no water finds its way over
the dams.,
OF course there can be no such thing as
moving, the great cut of lumber. The Iunl-
heT mills are better situated than tbs paper
mills because they have more right of iow-
age, the Berlin company being able to flow
back several miles, Dnt still the situation is
very grave as far as they are concerned.
g. You can almost walk across the river,n
said Mr.. Hammond and Of course there
can be no such thirg.as moving that mass
of logs under sucn circumstances The
snow won't help US this year. 1t is little
more than sfrost. and dissolves without
helping the lakes or the river Mr. Ham
mond looks for heavy freshet in short
time. OF late years the heavy rains through
that section have come in April. One heavy
rain would Ill up the lakes and save the
summer business there.
