PARIS TAKES TO HORSE FLESH
Over Two Hundred Shops Whore Cheap
Meat Is Sold.

Meat Is Sold.
The taste tor horseiesh in Paris,
which is demonstrated by the recent
banquet, does not date back many
years. 1t was under the second en-
pire, during the expedition to Morocco,
that it came into the dietary of the
French soldier. The expediticnary col
unln had nothing to live upon, SO it
slew and ate the horses, and everyone
was agreeably surprised at the quality
Of the meat.
Emile Decroix, a veterinary surgeon
with the troops, resolved to profit by
the experience. Arrived in Paris, ne
set about ~popularizing the horse as
food. He distributed E.eat gratuitous-
ly to the poor population. In his pro-
paganda he interviewed the project
and ministers and even had audience
of the emperor. He opsped the first
hippophagous butchery, ii the Place
6IItalie, in 1866. 1t was the siege OF
Paris that caused the flesh Of lc@Ses
to be regarded as q positive delicacy.
That was thirty-two years ago. How
has the notion progressed since? Paris
has now ESQ shops whefc they sell the
meat; all are prospecting. Last yeS
10000 horses were slaughtered and
eaten. Rouen, Toulouse, Lille, Orleans,
have all taken to horse eating. The
meat Is cheaper than beef. Whereas
7 pays 3 francs the livre for good
allet Of beef, it only costs a franc If
you take horse.
The animal that was eaten the other
day with such eclat had a singula:
history. 1t won several steep!echases
at Auteuil and is-Colombes. 1t was
an English mare and its name was
Nell Gwyn. In November, 1893, the
crowd on the course was very irritated
at the defeat OF the favorite in the
preceding race. 1t revenged itself by
throwing stones. One Of the stones
struck the left eye of Nell GwyI and
ruined the sight. Nevertheless. the
noble beast won the race.-Pall Mall

EXPENSIVE LITIGATION.
The Largest Water Suit Ever
in Nevada.

In the United States Court in this
city, Miller & Lux, corporation of
California, has begun what is prob
ably the largest and most important
water suit which ever took place in
Nevada. and possibly in the world. It
affects the water rights of 1874 propr-
ty holders and some of these consist
of many thousand acres. The result
menas live or die for all the farmers
in Mason Valley, all in Smith Valley,
all in Antelope Valley, nearly all on
the East Fork Of the walker river the
larger portion of the property in Big
Meadows up to Bridgeport and the
Sweetwater branch of the East Fork.
On the other hand Miller & Lux own
some 10000 acres of land in Mason
and Smith Valleys, the last large prop
erty on the Walker river. The title
OF the suit is Miller & Lux v. Thomas
B. Hickey, ct ais" The ct ais com
prise 1873 defendant farmers in the
locations named.
In their complaint Miller & Lux al
Iege that back in the COS up to II,
their predecessors in interest appro-
priated and used 1900 inches Of
water from the Walker river, and this
from using any of the water to the ex-
tent that will leave less than their A.
coo inches in the stream, Of which
they claim sole right to use.
The defendant farmers allege that
Miller & Lux claim more water than
will run in the banks of theWalker
river, which compares somewhat fav-
orally with the Carson river in size
They assert that no such volume OF
water can be carried by the river
therefore that Miller & Lux could not
have obtained title to it or have appro
priated it. They also assert that OF
the 10000 acres of land owned by
Miller & Lux not half of it is under
cultivation, and even if it were they
say that the result of the several ir
rigation congresses shows that from
1-3 to IL inches per acre is sufficient
TO thoroughly irrigate such lands.
The defendants of the several val
legs mentioned own farms, irrigating
bitches, etc. which depend entirely
upon the Walker river and its forks
for wateer The complaint seeks tC
enjoin every citizen Of Nevada who il
any way gets water from this river
should the farmers be deprived OF the
water their property would become
valueless, and this would mean the
deterioration of these properties t.
the extent of some S5,O0U000 or So,
100000. as there is not other sour;;,
from which they can obtain water,
The defendants are cited to appea
in the United States Court in this cit,
on August 4th. But it will be some
months before the cause comes t

mates that it will take at least on
year to take the testimony by dcposi

ably as long to wade through thu

will probably be two years before ;

the old and well known Pony Star"
with the small wheel in front, which
was uneQualed for a neck breaker.
There is a tradition that they were once
used in prisons to execute criminals.
This wheel was built in 1873, cost $175
and weighed from forty eight to sixty
five pounds. This was the first wheel
to have rubber tires. The pedals work
ed up and down instead of around, the
motion being impaired by a ratchet
movement. The rubber tires on the
old Star wheel weighed nine pounds
each; the best tires today weigh but
twenty-e ght ounces. Fourteen miles
an hour was considered good time or
the Star. 1t was a very popular wheel
in its day, and some of the most famous
old-time champions used it long after
the newer styles had come in.
About 1881 the original high wheel
came into use. 1t weighed from forty
to fifty-five pounds, and cost $15e. The
front wheel was from fifty to sixty
inches high. This was the beginning o:
gear"
A bicycle having a gear of eighty is
equivalent to wheel eighty inches
high. Tom Bird rode the first higl
wheel ever brought to the city. He
made the first century ridden in st.
Paul, and rode this wheel over 5000
miles. He won the first bicycle race
held in st. Paul on this same high
wheel, at the state fair grounds in 1883
He rode to Owatonna and back, a dis
lance of 40 miles, in fifteen hours, and
in those days there were no cycle
paths.
Wheels of Today.
The next advance shown in these pic
lures is the modern up-to- date wheel.
This wheel weighs but nineteen
pounds, and costs only $55. 1t car
easily go forty-two miles an hour.
The latest development is the motor
cycle, which will be the style for 1903
1t can go as fast as a mile in 1925. or
as slow as three miles an hour. All
the rider has to do is to press a little
button, and the motor does the rest.

Weeks, who has been connected with the

Klondike, for two or three years. has gone
to New York on business connected with
the newest railroad project in the gold
country OF Alaska. With e. c. Hawkins,
the protector of the Yukon railroad, Mr..
Weeks has formed company to build a

to Klondike City, taking in 100 mining
camps. with total population of 81, 900.
The line will be only eighty-fve miles
in length, but according to Mr.. Weeks,

is to carry supplies from Dawson City
to the mining camps, and also to transport
gold from the camps to Dawson.~ Passen-

also. The cost of the road will be s4,-

EVOLUTION OF THE MODERN BICYCLE.

The bicycle, like. other modern insti-
tutions, has passed through successive
stages of evolution, each one a nearer
approach to perfection. The first man
who rode a modern safety" style BIZ
cycle was looked upon by the populace
as being daft" but today If man
We're to ride one of the oldtime high
wheel bikes" down the street, the po-
lice would give chase.
There is a man in st. Paul who has
ridden about every kind of bicycle
that was ever invented. Everybody
knows his name, Tom. L. Bird, who
many times has won the title of cham
pion. Mr.. Bird is not altogether SEN
tirnental man, but he is somewhat
proud of the fact that he has been
prominent in all the various stages of
the bicycles evolution. He has in his
possession a whole house full of old
wheels, which in themselves form {
eennecting link between each period of
bicycle development.
Several OF these wheels are shown in
The accompanying illustration, from
photographs of Mr.. Birds family of
wheels.
Six Miles an Hour.
The oldest one of the wheels is the
"Velocipede." This particular wheel
was brought to st. Paul early in the
eighties by Mr.. Nicols, of Nicols &
Dean. 1t was the first bicycle in st.
Paul. It was made in 1864, during the
Civil war, and was therefore an old
stager when it arrived in this city. 1t
cost over 5000. 1t has no chain, but is
operated by pedals on the front wheel.
It weighs eighty-five pounds, has
wooden spokes and iron tires, and six
miles an hour was considered a heart
breaking pace, and the rider trying to
make six miles-an hour on it undoIbt-
eddy felt that he was working pretty
hard Cor very little fun. The brake
was operated from the handle bars.
around which a rope was coiled. BY
turning the handle bars around, the
rope was twisted tightly, bringing an
iron piece to bear upon the hind tire.
Il was as good as a Fourth of July
celebration to see the brake work, fol
the sparks few thick and fast-that is
IL the wheel happened to be going fast
enough to cause friction.
This old velocipede had a front wheel
three feet high. and the hind wheel was
two feet high.
"Star Was a Man Killer"
The next stage in the evolution was
