Penalties For Careless Coachmen

When an omnibus or cab driver runs
over foot passenger in London streets,
the possible loss of license exercises a
wholesome restraint. The private coach
man and the driver of the tradesman S
cart have far less conjunction in teach
ing an old gentleman to get out of their
way by running him down. AT the
worst, they are fined. Not infrequently
their fines are paid by a sympathizing
employer. But no one pays a poor cab
mans fines, and the loss Of license in
addition means the loss of his means of
q livelihood.
In Paris. we believe, the driver of q
fiaore is generally allowed by the law to
run over one bourgeois in the course of
year. In London magistrates are less
lenient. Moreover, the law makes an
unfair and arbitrary distinction between
the claimants case and that Of the I'M
licensed driver. The former is liable to
be removed from the box for good and
all. The driver of the cart may continue
to urge ON his wild career, though he
destroys several citizens in the course Of
the year.-London Spectator.

IN FAVOR OF HORSE MEAT.
Veterinarians Say They Know of No OBJ
lection TO Its Use.

lection TO It's Use.
"Shall we eat horse?'' is a question
which Philadelphia newspaper has
been putting to leading veterinarians.
While none of them answered squarely
in the affirmative, there was general
concurrence in the opinion that horse
meat makes rather good eating at a
pinch Francis Bridge said, 1.-THE flesh
is as nutritious and in flavor as good as
that of the bovine, and / see no good
reason to interdict its use as human
food. f" w. L. Zuill declared that he
would eat it in preference to pork. It
is more juicy and of better flavor than
OK flesh, he said. s. ]. ]. Hargar,
who had once eaten mule tenderloin,
found it inferior in fiber and taste to
beef.
e. M. Michiner thought that horse
flesh was not injurious to human
health, and he pointed out that nei-
Their tuberculosis, aotinomycosis or tri-
china was found in the horse, the ex-
ception being noted that rare cases Of
tuberculosis had been recorded John
| W. Gadsden believed that the flesh of
young horses properly cooked was good
| for man, and he thought that if horses
got much cheaper there would be q
great temptation to try it " Samuel @.
Weber said: 1.-THE flesh of the horse
seems to remain tender with age and
has more pungent SAVIOR than that of
other animals From these superior
qualities 1t may readily be seen why it
should be more digestible than other
meat, which often comes from animals
which are prematurely as we'll as ex-
cessively fattened. In Europe, where
raw meat is prescribed by physicians, it
is generally that of the horse. They
claim it is more healthy for those I'M
| dergoing severe muscular exercise and
| more nutritious for the weak and an9-
| mic.
Alexander Glass sounded warning
in the following experience: "In two
instances, when ate horseflesh, l found
the meat very tender and rather pleas
ant to the taste At the time could
not shake off the thought. What if this
horse had incipient glanders?' for some
Of that meat was very rare. Several
years ago Dr. Huidekoper of Philadel-
phia invited some members of the Phil
adelphia club and of the City troop to q
| dinner, at the conclusion Of which he
announced to his guests, who were much
| pleased with tho repast, that they had
| dined off the carcass Of his old white
| horse Fedora.

One of the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
that the true value of food to anybody
is the measure of its digestibility. Half
q pound of cheese is vastly more nour-
ishing, as regards its mere composition,
than half pound Of beef, but while the
beef will be easily digested and thus be
of vast service to us the cheese is put
out of court altogether for ordinary
folks by reason of its indigestibility.
We should bear this rule in mind when
we hear people comparing one food with
another in respect to their chemical
value. London Hospital.

Energy In Matter.

It is estimated by Professor Dolbear
that lump of GOAL weighing pound
has in it energy enough to lift its weight
1000 miles high. He says that this en-

its force ON every other particle, and
that If not prevented they will come to-

CHRISTMAS AT SNAGTOWN.

Snagtown was a characteristic west
ern settlement in the Black Hills. II
had been established but a short while
and the miners had had a hard time to
keep their foothold against the on
slaught of the Indians. who took a
fiendish delight in creeping down on
them in the night and destroying their
huts and killing them whenever they
got chance. But when the first Christ
mas came around Snagtown was con-
sidered to be on a solid foundation. and
the Snagtownites proposed 10 have a
roaring good time. IL was decided that
a tremendous big feast should be given
at the Snagtown Arms. in which all
should take a part. on Christmas aft
