BIGGEST NEAT EATERS LIVING.
We Are, So the Butcher Trade Organ Says
Germany Must Buy OF Us.

If Germany does not remove the bars
she has raised against the importation
OF American meat products her middle
classes will be left to the alternatives of
starvation or emigration, according to an
investigation made by the National Pro-
risioucr, tho organ of the provision trade
| in this country.
The paper thinks there are Indications
that the restrictions governing meat i'm
nortation will be ightened instead, to the
GREAT benefit Of American trade, for the
simple reason that, unless that is done,
Germany cannot feed her own people.
II figures that there are out of the total
pomIlation Of $4,000 900, 100000 German
families. whose annual earnings average
only S'2j, or $i5 a head year, and 5,O0OOo0
more families that earn not more than
$500 A year or 800 head.
lust how much meat these can afford
70 eat when that article was from so to 100
ner cent. higher in price than it was here
and millions of dollars worth have been
barred since By the prohibitive meat regula-
tions-cannot be estimated.
Anart from the raising OF prices by the
restrictions of the supply, it is argued
! further that Ietu her
own people anyway. BY official count
a little more than two years ago the country
had only 100000 cattle, less than that
number of hogs. lO,OOo,OOo sheep and al
most 900 900 goats to feed her population.
Assuming that the same proportion is
killed there annually as here and the weight
| of tLe animals to De the same, there would
he only seventy-six pounds Of meat head
ench year. or little over three ounces each
n day, for the whole population, which is
clearly not enough .,-.,
With only 50 per cent. more population
than Germany, the United States Kills
: three times as many cattle, nearly five
many sheep annually, and when all the
great amount sent out of this country IL
allowed for there is still left three times
as much meat for every head OF the popula-
| ton as there Is in Germany
That fact, the paper argues makes us the
biggest meat eaters IN the world and the
nation with the stoutest manhood, and in
time 1t will make Germany come to us for
some Of our supplies.

Fifty or more women In bathing costume

A smaller number of men lounged on the
sand with these women and waited for tho
tide to rise to good swimming depth. For

waves ran gently forward and backward

There are novelties and rumors OF now

most in evidence are merely fulfilments of
sprins prophecies-the ideas Of the early
season carried to their perfection.
From Paris come hints Of high Jam-pot
crowns to supersede the fiat plateaux now

renorts Of quaint Victorian poke bonnets;
hn, New York has, SO far. gone in for no
startling millinery innovations.
Roth the jan-pot crown and the poke
bonnet are logical enough in view Of tho 1890
costume lines so favored. and the chances
are that the coming season will fairly launch
both In both London and Paris, too, very
small toques, mere bonnets without strings,
are making their advent. ana therein lies
more prophecy.

along by the Lord High Chamberlain's
