o r MEAT DEFENDED.

An Authority Claims Prejudice Prohibits
Its General Use.
Everybody il aware that the horse is
the ~cleanest Of all domestic animals. It
will not eat anything but good, healthy
food. nor drink any but pure water. A
horse would rather starve than swill
the rotten stuff often given to pigs and
cattle. 1t is nothing but prejudice that
prevents US from eating horseflesh.
A similar prejudice retarded the in
PRODUCTION Of the potato 100 years ago.
Today we could not get along without
it. Yet tho prejudice against potatoes
can be explained. The people had bee1,
told that this American root caused
fever ard rendered the ground unfit fer
all other crops. The exception against
horxcfesh is not even founded upon any
objection to its properties. 1t is solely
due to the influence of the church. The
clergy did everything possible to. pre-
vent the newly converted Saxons from
returning to their Eoathenish practices
and prohibited the uso Of horsefesh to
stop the sacrifices to Odin and Thor. A
long time passed before these sacrifices
were altogether discontinued.
The nations Of Europe have suffered
er crmous less by this prohibition Of
hcrscfesh. Especially from the humani.
tartan point of view tho results are most
d%cplorable, Millions Of people are forced
to live On potatoes and similar food
wanting i'll nutritive qualities. while
millions CT pounds Of the very best meat
are wasted. Hcrseflesh is the most
ncurishipg Of all meats, and its taste is
hardly to be- distinguished from that Of
beef. The flesh Of a horse fed on oata
has a smell similar to g~oosefesh. The
fat is preferable to lard. Above all, it
ahculd be remembered that no flesh is
70 hoalthy as that Of the horse. Trichi-
ncsis ard similar diseases are unknown
in horses. Tuberculosis. very ccnmo
in cattle, is very rare in horses. Prank.

Sir Eober: Eall S%pcculates Upon the Po

Sir Eober. Call %speculates Upon the Pos
sibilities of Such Experience.
Conceive that a traveller were endow-
ed with some neal Of soaring aloft for
miles and thousands of miles, still up
and up, until at length he had attained
the awful height Of nearly $50, 900
miles above the ground, suggests Sir
Robert Ball i'll his ''Story Of the Heav'
ems" CHANGING down at the surface Of
that earth, which is at such a stupen-
dous depth beneath, he would be able to
see a wonderful birdseye view
He would lose, 10 doubt, the details
Of towns and Villages. The features in
such a landscape would be whole conti-
ncnts and whole oceans, in SO far Us the
openings between the clouds would per-
NIT the earth s surface to be exposed.
At this %stupendous elevation he could
try of the most interesting expert
ments that was ever i'll the power Of a
philosopher. He could test whether the
earth's attraction was felt at such a
height. and he could measure the
amount of that attraction. Take for the
experiment. a cork, a marble, or any
other object, large or small. Hold it be-
tween the fingers aud let go. Every one
knows what would happen in such a
case down here, but it required Sir
Isaac Newton to tell what would hap
pen in such u case up there. Newton as
serts that the power of tho earth to at.
tract bodies extends even to this great
height, and that the marble will fall.
This is the doctrine that we can now
test.
We are ready for the experiment.
The marble is released, and 10! our
first exclamation is one Of wonder. In
stead Of dropping instantly. the little
object appears to remain suspended.
We are on the point of exclaiming that
we must have gone beyond the earth's
attraction. and that Newton is wrong,
when our attention is arrested. The
marble is beginning to move, so slowly
that at first we have towatch it closely.
But the pace gradually improves, go
that the attraction is beyond all doubt,
until gradually acquiring more and
more velocity the marble speeds on its
long journey Of 100000 miles to the
earth.

many stocks show a loss of a point or

There was what looked like liquidation
In all of these stocks and many rumors
bearing on this We're set atloat to help

cover of the shorts last night left that
interest largely depleted in to-day's
market and there was no resulting
pressure to buy.
There was besides the natural reac-
ton of yesterdays upward rush on
profit taking. The lower prices in Am
orleans in London helped the decline to
some extent though not fully to the
London until that market had sew
eral thousand shares of the interna-

The day was marked by a further de-
cline in the sales of sterling exchange
demand, touching $4S7 sand sixty days

of appropriations of further gold ship
ments on Saturday, which are now con-
sidered highly improbable. Rumors of
an agreement by exchange houses not
to ship more gold were denied, but

further shipments were not likely this

The gain in gold of $4,000 yesterday
was further factor in dispensing in
