vor in New York and other eastern cities,
where in many of the best restaurants it is
regularly asked for, and in quite number
is conspicuous for it's place on the carte,"
remarked F. l.. Gregg at the Westminster
yesterday, land with us in Boston it is
much liked. Old, worn out horses are
treated precisely on the plan found 80 sue
cessful at Asnieres, near Paris, and are
better for meat than younger ones, as their
frames are larger and more meat can be
put on them by judicious feeding The
animal is washed and curried with great
care after the shoes have been removed.
He is then dieted upon ensilage, lentils and
beans for longer or shorter period, ac-
cording to his condition. When his dges-
tive apparatus is in good working order he
is as carefully and regularly fed as If he
were valuable race horse and given just
enough exercise to keep him healthy. In
the majority of cases he fattens up rapidly.
The meat is deliciously juicy and teuder
and in flavor is like the meat from ni,e
fat buck. The cheeks are an especial
dainty when nicely stewed and little
good wine added, and are much superior
to calf's head. A cotelette du cheval aux
champignons is not despised by the dain-
test danes at Sherry's or Delmonico's.
The meat costs about 3 cents per pound to
the producer.
''Dried fruits, fruit butter and fruit
syrups of all kinds are much in de-
mand in the large cities and densely popu-
lated manufacturing and coal mining CEN
ters in England, and if they could be laid
down in London or Liverpool or any of the
chief ports at q reasonable figure the sale
of them would be practically limitless."

Bradford, Yorkshire, grocery firm. As it
is, l do not think the California grower
really understands his great possibilities,
nor how, instead of shipping his product
to San Francisco commission houses, he
might obtain much larger return by
shipping to reputable English firms. sight
draft with bill of lading. Working people,
especially in England and Scotland, are
very fond of fruit, and as butter is so high
in price that it is rarely seen on working
mems tables, a few spoonfuls of preserve
of some kind is eagerly relished as a sub
stitute. A great saving in first cost would
follow the shipment of dried fruits in
tierces, and of jams and jellies in large
barrels weighing two or three hundred
pounds; or, the dried fruits might be
same weight. Temperance is growing
rapidly in favor among all classes. Great.

fruit juices, which Southern Californi a
should be able to supply cheaply by utiliza-
ton of the tons of fruit that are ruthlessly
wasted every year.
"California mining men and geologists
and metallurgists will regret to learn of the
sad death by burning of DR.. Alfred L. Ken
nedy in his rooms in Philadelphia q few
days ago." said DR.. r. L. Burnett at the
Nadeau yesterday. "Dr. Kennedy was in
California in the days of '49 and later in
Montana and Idaho, and was remarka.
BILE man in every way. He, after his return
to the east, established the polytechnic col
lege of Philadelphia and was its president
until it went out of existence year ago.
He was the founder, president and geolo.
gist of the State Agricultural society, and
his great love of animals led him to form
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals. DR.. Kennedy never lost his
love for California and the many friends
whom he used to visit almost every year,
and has helped the state where he got his
start in life in many ways. OF late he had
become somewhat feeble from his age-he
was nearly sO-and IL is supposed that in
the attempt to light the gas he dropped the
match on the floor, igniting his papers and
manuscript, and was suffocated by smoke
before the fire was discovered"
Geo. N. Merriam of Minneapolis, speak

last summer to people whom ne knew. A
wealthy man named Gleason, shortly be-
fore his death, converted all his property
into cash and bought United States bonds,
with the idea OF fully providing for his
widow and daughters with absolute secur-
ity. He died and left all to his widow.
Soon after this one of the daughters mar
ried, and the son-in.law for some years had
the key to the vault containing the, securi.
ties and collected the interest promptly fol
his mother-in-law. There was not the
slightest suspicion of his integrity, and the
young man was loved as a son, until one
day it was found that he was leading a
very extravagant life and maintaining an.
other establishment. This led to demand
for explanations, which were given, and
that the bonds would be restored immedi
ately, but that as he had left the key of the
vault in his Office some delay would ensue
He went down town ostensibly to get it
exhibiting much apparent indignation
The man never returned and the ladies are
left in very straitened circumstances.
