HORSE FLESH AS FOOD.
Hlghly-valasd Article Of Diet In Ii
Argontlne Pampos.

Hlghly-valasd Article Of Diet in tie
Argentine Pampas.
Long before starving Paris opened
horsemeat shops, during the German
siege, it was known that the barbaric
laundering at the gates of the French
capital, regarded horsefesh as dam
ty not to be despised. They did not
change their opinion until long after
they had been converted to Roman
Catholicism and really gave up horse
meat only upon compulsion. after one
OF the Bonifaces had declared that
Catholics should not eat horse flesh,
and exerted every energy to stamp out
a practice which he characterized as q
misuse of the horse" A century
later, however, it is said that the
monks of st. Gallen still relished the
flesh Of the wild horse and partook of
it whenever the opportunity offered.
The horse has never been pronounced,
like the hog, an unclean animal, but its
use for food is prohibited both to the
Jews and Moslems, and the ground for
this prohibition has never Deen MADE
clear. Still, Burckhardt wrote in 1881
that an Arab sheik who had no food
to place before his white guest killed
his only horse to provide his table.
The Tartars Of Russia used the horse
as one of their common articles Of
food at least as late as the early part
Of the last century, and it affords to-
day the chief aud most highly priced
article of diet to the Indians Of the
Argentine pampas. The horse as an
article of food is therefore nothing
new. There is no doubt also that horse
flesh has been a boon among laborers
in some parts Of Europe. who need
concentrated and highly nourishing
food. but can seldom afford to buy beef.
Whether, however, there is the slight
est ground for the prejudice against

you a certain question, and a day or
two after our misunderstanding 1 was
down to the city en- business and saw
a lot Of silk things like this in a shop
window, and the ladies was a-wearin'
them around their necks, so just
thought I'd buy one and serd it to
you and at the same time ask you that
question. 1t was tellin' you if you was
willin' to be Mrs. Dobbs to wear it
tc meetin' the next Sunday, and if not
to send it back. But you didn't wear
it to meetin' and you didn't send it
back"
As Miss Minerva listened her stern
face relaxed and softened light shone
in her eyes. Before Mr. Dobbs had fin
ished. she turned her gaze to the win
dow and there was q little flush in
her cheeks.
Il never had a note from you and
never saw that scarf BEFORE" she said
quickly
Il sent them by the hired man"
That was the summer Cousin Mat
tie was with me. Likely was out and
he left them with her. You know what
q scatter-brain she is" The color had
deepened in Miss Minerva's cheeks and
there was none of her accustomed Sc
verify of manner.
She looked down at the scarf in Mr..
Dobb's hand But where did you get
1t now" she asked, suddenly.
Elizabeth Ann found it in your
attic and
Elizabeth Ann repeated Miss Mi
nerva.
Never mind about her. Minerva
will you take it? You know the con-
ditions.''

said. quietly. But you know, Jona-

colors"
Mr. Dobbs laughed contentedly.
Please yourself. Minerva. so long as

Alcohol from Smoke.

Chemists, who can make sugar from
old shirts and perfumes as we'll as
colors from coal tar, have other tri-
umphs awaiting them in the twentieth
century. One of these is the manu-
facture Of alcohol from the smoke of
blast and other coal furnaces. Coal
smoke Of the kind contains ethylene
from which alcohol is readily made by
simple means. and it is recognized
that ere long the smoke Of high fur

Way.
The ship canal question is becoming
one of huge importance. and the argu-
ments pro ana con for the Nicaraguan
and the Panama routes are endless
There are two features affecting the
commercial success of the canals which
have not been considered as yet. and
these are the question OF favorable
winds as affecting the amount Of sail
ing tonnage that would seek either
route. and the yet more serious Ques-
ton Of the curvature of the canals as
affecting both steam and sailing YES
sells. 1t is in favor Of Mica ragua that
for ten months of the year there are
steady trade winds. which would en-
able sailing ships to reach either ter

except in entering the artificial ha--
bors. In the latitude Of Panama. on
the other hand. there are long Pc
RODS of calm which might render
somewhat lengthy towing necessary.
While the objection counts for some
thing. it is not so serious as might be
supposed, for the reason that the deep
sea sailing tonnage forms very small
and rapidly diminishing proportion OF
the total tonnage. In fact. it is prob
able that by the time either canal IS
finished, the tramp steamer will have

from the long distance carrying trade.
ture is one Of the most important Ques-
tons for consideration. In view OF the
ever-increasing length of ocean steam

the Nicaragua canal has not been de-
termined. but for about fifty miles OF
its course down the San Juan valley
it must necessarily be very sharp, even
after the waters of the river have been

of the river channel shows a total
length of curvature in the valley of
1916 miles. The curves of the Panama
canal are of $500 feet radius or over.
while the river channel at Nicaragua
has six curves of 700 to 1900 feet. Is
of 1900 to 800 feet. and q curves OF

Monkeys are developing intelligence
rapidly along some lines Of human
endeavor and soon may become such
a factor that labor unions will have to
recognize n them a formidable ele-
ment in the sphere OF manual labor.
The tangled forests of Darkest At
RIGA. which, is the early days Of the
nation, supplied the Southern planter
with slaves to cultivate his cotton
fields and to gather his crops. have
again been drawn upon by the farmer,
whose ingenuity is equally great,
whether he devotes his energies to the
manufacture OF wooden nutmegs in
Northern states or of liquid moonshine
In the South. This time the demand
is for monkeys good. able-bodiec
monkeys, who shall be equal TO a
heavy days work in the cotton fields.
For that is the scheme which the willy
Southerner has planned, and whish he
has found to be practicable. He will
set monkeys at work picking his cot
ton crop, according to our veracious
correspondent in Vicksburg. And why
not? Monkeys have been used in some
parts Of Asia to fetch and carry, and
they learn rapidly all that is required
of them.
1t is difficult to say just how the iu-
PRODUCTION Of monkey labor will affect
the poor negroes who hitherto have
done the work. Perhaps they will say
We are ruined by cheap monkey labor;
And they'll go for that heather mon
key.
That is, il the negro's dignity will per-
NIT him to recognize competitor in

The value of Professor Gamers dis
covery Is now demonstrated. Every

without any rush or confusion.
AS fast as the monkeys got their
sacks full they would run to the end
to empty the contents OF the sacks
into baskets. Then the monkeys would
scamper back along the row and would
Immediately resume their work. The

from the rays of the sun while picking

policy for a Chinaman a few weeks
ago, the first ever written for a man of

no clear idea Of it. He understood that
by paying the premiums promptly he
would be entitled to $1,000 some time.
He began bothering the agent for the
money after a couple of weeks had
passed, and the agent tried to explain
to him that he would have to die be-

to attend to him without calling in

days later the doctor was angry.

Next day the injured mans brother
was at the insurance Office with a
claim for 81, 500.
