Many people in Denmark prefer
horsefesh to beef. In Germany and
Austria business is brisk in horse meat
preparations, and is becoming more so
every year. England is still reluctant
about accepting the new aliment and
classes that kind of food alongside
snails and frogs. The first horse butch
ers iii Paris were only established in
1866; that special trade is now legally
carried on, and is considerably increas-
ing. as demonstrated by municipal sta
tistics-so much so that to-day over
5000 tons of horsefiesh are consumed
annually in Paris, sold by GO licensed
horse butchers, who receive supplies
from two special nipple" slaughter
houses, both outside the city proper.

"What are the most ferocious, tiger
like creatures that swim the sea? The
orca, by all MEANS" said a scientist
who is connected with the Smithsonian
Institution. "Some people know
them as the grampus, and others as
the ork or the orc. The orca family
are cetaceans and prey on whales. L
wonder that they are SO little known,
such wonderful creatures are they.
Orcas are found in all seas, but are
most numerous in the South Seas.
The natives of the Marquesa Islands
have some horrible sanguniary legends
about the things that orcas do, just as
the legends Of India and Java deal
with the horrors of crocodiles. The
orcas are about twenty feet long in
the Antarctic seas and are seldom
over twelve feet long in the North
Pacific and Atlantic. They have a
terrible arm ament of sharp teeth.
1t is interesting to compare them with
animals of a similar character. There
are eight species of orca the world
over, and each species has reputation
for ~ferocity. The best known are the
gladiator orca-orca gladiator of the
Atlantic-and orca r%ectipenna and
crca alter of the Pacific. Orca recti-
penna is a remarkable animal, readily
recognized by its dorsai fin, that is
often as tall as the tallest man, slender
and bending ovsr at the tip gracefully.
When swimming below the surface
six feet of this fin is seen gliding
along, often resembling a shark on
the surface. New York Sun.

Emperor Williams Tenants.

The German Emperor, as is we'll
known, has since his accession done
all in his power to improve the con
dition of the working classes, with the
happiest results. During his recent
visit to his new estate at Cadinen,
which is in every respect considerable
model for the rest of east Prussia, the
Kaiser was greatly shocked at the ap-
of the workmen's houses on
the estate, and remarked thathis COW
houses aud pigsties were palaces com
pared with these novels. He further
gave orders that the dwellings for his
work. people should be improved be,
fore his next visit, and said he hoped
that his example would be followed by
other land owners. In east Prussia
there is great necessity for improve
ment, and it is to be hoped that the
fact that the Emperor has now an es-
tate there will have q very good effect.

APPEAL OF AGUINALDO.
Asks the Powers to Recognize the
independence Of the FilipinOs.
CLAIMS THEY WON SOVEREIGNTY
Foreign Consuls at Manila Are Requested
to Forward the Appeal to Their Gov
Claims Made by the Fill
pinos In Their Efforts TO Secure Rec
ognition-The Spanish Prisoners.

og~nition-The spanish Prisoners.
MANILA (By Cable).-Agulnaldo has ap-
pealed to the Powers for recognition Of
Filipino independence" His appeal,
lated Tarlac, July 81, and signed by
B~uencamino, has been received by all the
foreign consuls In Manila, with the request
that they forward 1t to their respective
Governments.
The FlIipinos use their old argument
that they had wrested the sovereignty of
the islands from Spain before the signing
OF the treaty OF Paris. and, therefore,
Spain was in no position to cede them to
the United States. They argue that the
possession of 1000 Spanish prisoners cap
tured with their arms, lighting against the
Filipinos, 'is eloquent proof of the nudity
of Spanish sovereignty, as when the Span
ish soldiers surrendered, SPANS nolu was
irreyocably lost"
The document then says:
"Reply1ng to the Spanish Commissions
request to release the prisoners because
Spain no longer has political interests IN
tile islands, we asked for a treaty OF peace
and friendship between Spain and the Fill
pinos, whereby the prisoners would be re-
leased.
''But the commissioners refused, because
it would meal recognition OF our tndepen-
dence, Thai Is equivalent TO saying tudt
the prisoners must stay in our hands in
definitely, because their possession is our
most eficacious method to adjust our &C
count with Spain and obtain from her rec
ignition OF our independence"
The Filipinos say that they had con-
quered all the country except Manila, and
that they co-operated in obtaining the cap
itulation of that city by surrounding 1t
at the cost of thousands OF lives. They
also say hat they conquered the country
unassisted, except for sixty guns that Ad-
miral Dewey veAguinaldo, and that Ad-
miral Dewey and the British and Belgian
consuls recognized the Filipinos' sove-
reignty by asking for passes to visit the
country. They repeat the claim that they
have letters from American consuls and
generals recognizing their sovereignty and
promising that the Americans would rec
ognize their Independence, (Which was at
the disposition OF the Powers"
The Filipilos attempt to make capital
out OF the statement that Admira Dewey
serve and fulfil the rules of war that he
gave him a hundred Spanish prisoners
which the American Navy had captured.
Finally, the Filipinos appeal to the
Powers to influence Washington to b-ing
to a termination "the unjust war which is
devastating the country
The authorities at Madrid lave ordered
the Spanish commissioners not to return
to Tarlac, and it is reported that two spe-
cial commissioners, Seniors Capriles and
Cuerbo, are on their way here from Spain
to conduct the negotiations.
