Horseflesh Eaten In Germany.

There Is In Greifswalder street, Ber-
lin, a regularly installed horse slaugh-
ter house, which Is under careful SUI
pervision. Estimating that an average
size horse will yield $50 pounds Of edi.
BILE flesh, there was derived from this
source last year, says the United
States consul at Berlin, 100000
pounds of meat, which was sold for
consumption in sixty.four shops which
are specially licensed for that purpose.
At Breslau, which has population Of
about 100000, against the 100000 in
Berlin and It's suburbs, $500 horses
we've killed last year for human food,
so that the proportion Of horsenesh
eaten per capita was much larger In
Breslau than in Berlin. In southern
Germany, and notably in Saxony,
where the percentage Of working peo-
pie In manufacturing districts Is eXcep-
lionally large, the consumption Of
horsenesh Is still greater and Is con
stantly increasing. The choicest cuts
of horse meat sell in Berlin for from
30 TO 40 pfannigs (4d. TO Sd a pound.
The liver is considered delicate NOR
sci and brings 10 cents pound.

This house has more than passing
interest from the fact that It was
there Abigail wrote the famous let.

was attending the continental con.

son, John Quincy Adams, she passed
many lonely days and nights waiting
for the return Of the husband and

was to mean so much 10 them.

to him, often had to stop In her cor

And yet, despite the difficulties I'm
der which she lived, Il was In this
house that Abigail Adams wrote a

the power Of another sorcerer, a wom'

her, he persuaded her parents to be.

crafty Choa chose the most unlucky
day for the wedding, tho day when the

tered the red chair the spirit bird
would destroy her with his powerful
beak. But Peach Blossom gave di

Hotels Among the Customers Of a Man
With an Air Rifle.
There Is a rat catcher who visits
Baltimore periodically TO rid hotels,
among other places, OF the rodent
pests. Among the hotels he has two
regular customers and his advent Is
always the signal for the pleasures Of
the chase in a small way.
He has no method OF charming rats,
but goes after them just as any hun.
ter in the big woods would stalk his
game. He does not sit down in front
Of a rat hole and tease the rodents
forth with the sweet strains on tin
flute. Instead he carries a small air
rife, and It does the work.
He makes straight for the basement,
kitchen, baggage room and open
plumbing, where rat holes will be
found II they are anywhere. Having
located his rat hole, which he seems
to accomplish almost by instinct, he
listens at the opening until his keen
ear detects a scratching or a squeak.
He unerringly locates his quarry by
this sound, inserts his rife at just
the right angle and fires. II he misses
but what's the use-he dosent
Then with a long. hooked wire, he
probes into the hole and draws his
victim out
Now and then he strikes a nest OF
young. In such cases It is usually an
easy matter to hook nest and all and
drag the pests from their palatial res.
ldence. His is a peculiar calling, but
has its uses.-Baltlmo News.
