Whence comes the meat we eat? asks
tho Pail Mall Gazette. The suburban
batcher viii tell you that It il all home
killed, II not home fed; the domestic
cynic that Welsh mutton commonly
browses on Australian plains and that
Scotch beef loses half its virtue because.
Of the voyage across the Atlantic. The
truth, a. usual, lies between, and if one
had happened on the Society OF Arts in
session the other night one would have
learned some interesting facts from E.
Montague Nelson as to this more than
ordinarily interesting subject. A quar-
ter OF q century ago it struck people
that the United Kingdom could not
grow enough meat to feed her popula-
ton, which, by the way, it may be said,
eats more than twice as much meat as
any alien people. AS usual, q commit-
tee was appointed, and it sat until 1870
without arriving at any definite conclu-
sion. At this time America was export
ing to the United Kingdom q large
quantity Of live stock, besides profu-
sion of timed meat, while two years
later the trade in chilled beef was
started, and gradually grew until in
1894 it reached one hundred thousand
tons. In 1880 the Australian colonies
began to be factor in the question OF
supply. Early in that year the first ship
ment Of frozen meat was made, and the
trade has since attained huge proper
tions. In all, 90, 900 frozen sheep
and lambs have come to our shores,
Of which New Zealand has supplied
Il, ZOO, 900, Australia, 100000, the
River Platte, 9,O0O.O and the Falk.
land islands, 10000. In the early
stages of the business freight from
Australia was 21zd per pound; it is
now Id, and fair profit can be made
at this figure. There are now over
eighty ships engaged in the trade, with
a carrying capacity OF about 2,50o, 900
carcasses. Experiments arc now being
made in the shipment of live cattle
from Australia. And the trials already
completed are sufficient to prove that
they can be carried the long sea voy-
age without loss of condition. 1t is
probable, therefore, that before long a
large trade in this direction will be
conducted. The annual consumption
of meat in the United Kingdom is some
2,140, 600 tons, about two-thirds OF
which is home grown, and the latter
amount has doubled in the last ten
years. It is computed that, in addition
to the supplies of live stock to the
metropolitan markets, Sr1ithfeld alone
provided in a year $50 pounds OF meat
for every man, woman and child within
fifteen miles of Charing Cross, or a
weekly consumption of twcnty-four
! pounds for every family, and Of 13o
pounds, about twenty-five pounds are
American beef and nearly thirty pounds
foreign mutton or beef. Mr.. Nelson
thinks that the British farmer is en-.
titled to equal consideration, whether
he happens to reside in New Zealand OF
Australia, or in Kent or Sussex. And
Australian mutton, wholesale, fetches

NOT DANGEROUS.

A British Physician sets an Important
Mater Right.
An Englishman has just advanced
theory in a London medical journal that
will be hailed with delight by at least
the younger generation of this cosln-'
try and probably by the youth OF al the
world, says the Washington Star. This
Briton has delivered scientific opinion
to the effect that kissing, once the OBJ
ject of much medical disrcpute, is an
altogether wholesome and healthy ex-
ercise; that it is not tie dangerous
.pra ctice which it has Of late been
painted. and that. instead of being
avoided, as being fraught with bacseri-
oIogical menace, it is to be encouraged
as one of the best of all exercises for
the human system. This may be put
ting it little strong, and, perhaps,
stronger than the scientific Englishraan
intends that his opinions should be
taken, but it is cheering, nevertheless.
Ct was deadly blow that was leveled
st the art Of osculation when the med
zeal world declared that kissing from
sip to lip tended to introduce into
either one of the two systems that
were thus engaged-and sometimes not
engaged-new forms of animal life
that were deleterious to health. One
or other of the kissers was supposed to
be always fairly tcening with bacteria.
TO kiss meant sure, though, perhaps,
slow death. A shudder ran through the
anativc, sentimental world, and the
market rate Of kisses fell with a thud.
Hitherto afectionate couples became
distant, preserving radius OF microb-
ical safety, as it were. When fears
were overcome, and surreptitious kisses
taken, the apprehension fingered that
q great danger had been faced. It
cannot be denied that the average kiss
crew shorter in duration and dinin-
ished in frequency. But the latest
scientific opinion has probably checked
the tendency to sidetracl the kiss.
This opinion is to the effect that in the
kissing persons encounter only the
beneficcnt organisms. and that the adj
vantages of kissing far outweigh it
inflnitesimal risk

COMMERCE AT THE "soo."

Much Greater Than That Passing Through
the suex Canal.
During the past eight years 1000, 600
tons more of registered tonnage has
paesed through Sault Ste. Marie canal
than has passed through the Suez ca
nal. This brief statement in the Min
neapolis Journal contains world OF
suggestion. Through the Suez canal
in 1898 there passed S,s41 vessels OF y
CSC, 900 tons. Last year the traffic was
about the same. The important steam
tonnage of the world goes through
that waterway, but In the ten years
ending in 1899 the tonnage on the Sault
Ste. Marie canal had increased from
2,04s, ,259 to O,647, ,20S tons. And when
the vast extent of territory yet to be
settled up in the northwest and the GER
tain future for mining in Minnesota
alone is considered, the volume Of bust
ness tributary to the Sault Ste. Marie
is seen to be enormous in the near
future. The business has been in
creased by great leaps and 1t is sus-
taincd. Present and future business,
the latter assured, present the strong
arguments for the definite amplifica-
ton Of all plans for giving the north
west waterway to the sea. 1t is no
wonder that the northern waterway,
rapidly becoming inadequate to accom-
modate traffic, has been Instruments
largely in the reduction Of freights on
ton mileage Of seven trunk lines be
tween the north Atlantic coast and the
Mississippi from 80 cents to $50 mills
between 1865 and 1898
In view Of these facts it seems re-
msxkable that all that New York pro.

which comes to her through the lakes

q STRANGE oRssAMENT.
~ naitae rAsssAt = was The Artist's

1he ualt4e rhsoxAs Is Was ths Artist's
An amusing little incident, connected
with the celebrated George Cruikshank,
Il related BY Edmund Yates in his
"Fifty Years Of London Lite. It was
1t the time that Mr.. Frank Smedley
was editor Of periodical called Cruik-
shaukss Magazine, which dourlshed
only . short time.
Mr.. Yates says that an interview be-
tween Crriilkshank and Smedley was
very comic sight for . looker-on. The
old artist would bounce about the
room, illustrating by violent action and
gesture everything he said, wholly I'M
restrained by fear Of becoming gro
tesuue. The little editor, screwed up
in his wheel chair, peered at his visitor
ont of the corners Of his small eyes, and
strongly appreciated every item of the
performance.
Zone warm morning, says Mr.. Yates,
s.Cruilsshank arrived in Jermyn street,
and pulled q chair in front Of Smcd-
ley's desk, being evidently full OF busi-
ness. The old mans chevelure in his
later days was always OF an extraordi-
nary kind, long wisps OF gray hair
being brought from the back OF his
head over the scalp, and secured there
with narrow elastic band; but in adj
dition to this, on this occasion, Smed-
lev perceived that Cruikshank had q
small perforated bone wheel fixed in
the center of his forehead.
kkC~ L. n
extraordinary sight that he could not
withdrew his eyes from it; and at last
Cruikshank, finding his hosts gaze
stonilv fixed on one spot throughout
the interview, testify demanded what
he was staring at.
:. Nothing replied Smedley, trying
to excuse himself; but Immediately
after the little. wheel became detached
and fell on the floor.
"sYou'te dropped something said
Cruikshank, polzing after it with his
stick.
"sI? No, you,' said his host.
sNonsense!'r cried the irascible
George, who had now picked it up.
Nonsense! What do you think I could
do with thing like this?'
ss'All l know is that for the last half
hour it has been sticking in the middle
OF your foreh cad, returned Frank.
Impossible, sir! quite impossible!'
rocred Cruikshank.
Eventually it appeared that the
little wheel was ventilator, which
had slipped from its original position in
the crown of Cruikshank's hat, and
stuck with the heat on his forehead. :

MAKING A NEW GERMANY.
The Work Of Colonisstiou Going on Rap

The Work Of Coloni8stlou Going on Rap
Idly IN Various Quarters.
Although barely ten years have
elapsed since Germany set about the
national work Of colony building, her
progress in this respect has been alto
gethcr phenomenal, says the New York
Tribune. The Teuton flag floats over
territory surprising five times in super
ficies that of the fatherland, and the
growth of that colonial empire which
Prince Bismarck inaugurated in 1884
can only be compared to that of Jonah's
gourd. It remains to be seen whether
this astonishing development will prove
ephemeral or lasting. One significant
fact, however, is that after this excri-
ence of ten years the Germans are as
united in their belief as to the wisdom
of possessing colonies and their value
as they were at the outset. This is all
the more noteworthy since not one of
these dependencies has as yet begun TO
paw its way, but still constitutes Sc
rious charge upon the imperial ex-
chequer. Nor are the colonies as yet
of anv great account commercially,
since the gross value of imports and ex-
ports of the German possessions II
Africa does not exceed eight million
dollars per annum. Neither can the
colonies be considered of much impor-
tance to Germany as home for he-
surplus population, since, according to
the official statistics just issued at Bcr-
lin. the total number of German sub
iects in German colonies after ten years
Of colonizing does not exceed two thou,
sand; that is to say, not SO many as
sometimes reach New York in the space
of one week from Bremen and Ham
burg. Far from being discouraged. the
imperial government is displaying much
energy apd foresight in establishing
lines of steamers to Asia, America and
Australasia, making German influence
felt in places where few years ago it
was an unknown quantity; and is,
moreover, taking the lead OF all Euro
pean powers in the construction OF rail-
roads into the interior Of Africa. This
is the. key to the development OF the
dark continent, and Germany deserves
the good will and gratitude OF trade and
commepce throughout the world.

PLEASED THE OLD MANS EYE.

True Story Of tho Rise o! Young Nan
to 4 High Position.
A man who visited New York recent
ly tells story which sounds as if it
might have been taken bodily from one
of those books which parents love to
see in the hands Of their children.
A young man who was working as
clerk in an importing house had occa-
sion frequently in the course Of busi-
ness to call ct certain large manufac-
turing establishment. The head of the
concern took q fancy to him. One day
he asked the young man what salary he
was getting, what his chances Of promo
ton were, and so on. He was told, and
then said to the young man tn at he
thought there was better opportuni-
ty for him in his Office than in he house
where he was then employed. The
young man replied that he should Of
course like to better himself, but that
his engagement would not permit him
to leave for some time to come. The
head OF the house said he thought he
might induce his cmplover tol let him go.
ne accordingly wrote note to the senior
partner of the importing house, with
whom he was on intimate terms, saying
that he had formed a liking for the
Young man, that he believed there was
a better opening for him in his Office
and asking that he be released. The
next day the young man came back
with letter in which his employer,
while expressing regret at losing his
services, said that he recognized the
l.rger opportunity offered him, and,
SIS he didn't want to stand in his way,
released him. The clerk went to work
in his new position and SO confirmed
his employers good impressions that
his promotion was rapid. He went
from ono position to another until ne
was next to the manager Of the house.
A short time ago the manager died and
sour hero" now no longer young
man, of course. but still in the prime OF
life, took his place at u salary very near.

The passagesof the North sea, or Bal
tic ocean for It is equally well known
BY both titles-is looked upon with
dread by the navigators who have to
brave its dangers.
The sailors Of the North German
Lloyd call it the Sea Of Murder, in al
fusion to the marine disasters with
which its history bristles, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. The captain OF the
liner whose destination IS Liverpool or
London feels that the pefils Of his voy-
age are practically over when he
reaches Queenstown. The command
ers of the sister ships OF the Elbe,
on the other hand, realize that the
most dangerous part OF their jour
ney is yet to come, for ahead OF them
is the narrow and crowded English
channel and the equally crowded and
tempestuous North sea.
These unruly waters are open to the
fierce sweep of the wind that is so
dreadful to Europe, that which is from
the northeast. Only those who have
cANCIICACCO OAACoC AAsess AOvv 7SAAA>~AA~oS ,
misunderstanding blasts can realize
their anger and their power. The Gulf
stream, which surges up the channel
and around the northern end of the
British isles, meets the icy currents
from the Arctic regions. Storms, varied
by dense fogs, result from this COM
bination. The east coast of England
forms deadly lee shore for the ship
ping caught in the prevailing winds.
In addition to these natural dangers,
the North sea is crossed and recrossed
by dozens OF. steamer lanes" It is
also the seat of the great herring fish,
cries. with their thousands of smacks
and schooners that, lying at anchor
here, there and everywhere, are by no
means the least of the dangers which
menace the navigator. Here, too, are
hundreds of Scotch and English coast
ing craft, which stand well to sea to
avoid the dangers Of shore lines. And
lastly the mouth of the Thames spreads,
funnel like. into the North sea, adding
to the total perils with its fleets of in
coming and outgoing vessels.

Wagons still Distributing Broken
Rock Upon the Streets.
Notwithstanding all the complaints
that have been made against the littering
Of the streets with broken rock by men
hauling that material from the cars on L
street, and the further fact that Mayor
Steinman had given orders that it be
stopped, the nuisance continues undated.
superintendent of Streets Murray had
the thoroughfares between the railroad
and where macadamizing is in progress
on Eleventh street from . to O. cleared
OF these broken and Jagged stones a few
days ago, and now they are in as bad con-
dltion as ever.
y esterday, a RECORD-UNIoN reporter
followed several OF the wagons employed
IN hauling the rock and found that not
one OF them WAS so constructed as to hold
the material, but on the contrary dis
tributed it wherever they went. The
streets are again in the condition they
were IN before Superintendent Murray
had the stones removed.
Now, somebody's previously at fault
ia this matter. If The contractor who is
having the rock hauled, and his teams
tors, have not been personally ordered
10 correct the evil, why has 1t not been
done, and VINO is at fault? 1t should be
a very simple thing to prevent the con-
tinuance OF the nuisance. If the teams
ters refuse to Tx their wagons so as to
hold the loads from shaking through and
over the boards, then they should be
driven oil the streets entirely, if not pun
ished.
1t IS wearisome to witness such per-
sistent disregard of the rights of citizens
by men who should be forced to use
properly the streets that taxpayers have
paid for

Works testified that whenever Gibbs
fred for him he found him faithful and
competent. He had never slept on his
(Nolf's) watch. 4 month or so ago he
found the ashes very wet, and told Gibbs
to let the coal-passers attend to that duty
themselves. He forgot 10 notify the en-
gineer of what be had done.
Trustee Davis asked Mr.. Wolf who
placed the employees about the Water
Works. and he replied that the Mayor
had attended TO that matter thus far, but
he believed the charter required the Chief
Engineer TO do it.
In response to a question by Trustee
Kent, Mr.. Wolf said his watch was n the
daytime, and that if he had allowed his
fireman TO sleep an hour he would con-
slider himself as much to blame as the
fireman.
Trustee Leonard said there had been
too much squabbling in the Water
Works. he believed that both Gibbs
and COffey were more or less to blame,
and II they were not personal enemies
he did not believe the charges would
have been made. AS to allowing the
steam to go down, there was some evil
dence to that effect and on the other side
q denial. He thought these men could
get along together if they wanted to, and
il they couldn't he would favor discharg-
ing them both. There can be plenty of
good men got TO fill their places.
Trustee DeVine spoke to the same
effect lie thought Coffee and Gibbs
could get along ifthey would, but if there
should be any more trouble at the Water
Works the offending party should be dis
missed. SubordinateS should obey their
superiors and be respectful toward them.
Mr.. Deyine concluded by moving that
the charges against Mr.. Gibbs be dis
missed, and that he be reprimanded.
Trustee Davis said the Chief Engineer
should be required TO do his duty, and so
arrange the duties of the men under him
that there will be no danger of friction.
Trustee Pennish wanted something
done to protect the city against the dan
ger that mi ght result from an engineer
and fireman Quarreling and perhaps kill
