Horseflesh Eaten in Germany.

There is in Greifswalder street. Ber-
lin, regularly installed horse slaugh-
ter house, which is under careful SUI
pervision. Estimating that an average
size horse will yield 230 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 2,500,0OO in
Berlin and its suburbs, $500 horses
were killed last year for human food.
SO that the proportion of norsetlesh
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-
tionally large, the consumption of
horsefesh is still greater and Is con-
stantly increasing. The choicest cuts
of horse meat sell in Berlin for from
35 to 40 pfennigs lad. to SD pound
The liver is considered delicate NOR
sci and brings 10 cents pound.

SEA LEVEL BEST
ENGINEERS FAVOR 1T FOR THE
PANAMA CANAL.
BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
Report viii Be Made by Canal Com
mission-Lock Canal Would BIZ
cheaper. But Not So Satisfactory.

Washington,-The board of consult
ing engineers of the lsthmian Canal
Commission has declared itself by
large majority in favor of a sea-level
canal.
The conclusion was reached after
conferences since the beginning o.
September and trip to the isthmus to
enable the members to form better
idea of the physical difficulties.
The members of the board are men
of the greatest reputation in their line
of work. France, Germany and Hol-
land sent their most eminent special
lists at the request of this government.
At the beginning it was evident that
a majority of the members were IL
favor of sea-level canal. Their poin:
of view was that even if it cost more
than lock canal and would taxi
longer in the building, it would ult!
mately be of greater use, as it woul'
enable ships to make much shorte,
trip than If they were Obliged to g
through three or four locks. The NIL
nority wanted to see the canal built
in as short time as possible anu
with the least cost, declaring that G
few hours longer for the trip through:
the isthmus made little or no diner
ence.
One of the members gave this ex-
PLANTATION for his way of voting: 1t
may be that several of us will not see
the sea-level canal finished in our life
time, as 1t will take considerably
longer than ten years. But, then, we
have the satisfaction to know that TO-
all the generations to follow we hav-
made the shortest and most practical
way Of communication between the "a
cific and Atlantic. and as long as We
had to decide on a question for all tins
we do not think that few years more
or less makes very important d1.
ference. That is the way our part.
thought about it. and whatever ma
be said in favor or against 1t, we have
after the most careful study, given an
opinion as we saw our way to do 1t.
No official statement will be giver
out before the report of the commits
sion reaches President Roosevelt,
which will be about January.

true that the pretender to the throne

peasantry, the government Will soon

ST. Petersburg.-The American en-
bassy has received an interesting re-

ering the events of the ten days be-
ginning with the tragedy at the town

Gar Grants Land to Peasants.

London-A dispatch from st.
Petersburg to Reuters Telegram
Company says that an imperial mani
festo has been issued granting land
concessions to the peasants.
BY its terms the land redemption
tax payments from January IA, 1906,
will be reduced by onehalf, and from
January IA, 1907, the payments Will be
totally abolished. At the same time
the capital of the Peasants bank is
increased and the bank is granted ad-
ditional loan privileges, with the OBJ
ject of facilitating to the utmost the
purchase of lands by peasants.
1t is estimated that the amount OF
taxation thus lifted from the peasants
by the manifesto will aggregate $4O,-
OOO, 900, while the extension of the
field of operations of the Peasants
bank will enable vast tracts of crown
and private lands gradually to become
the property of the peasants.

DISTRESS AFTER MEALS
Sure Sign That Dr.WiIIianns' Pink Pills
Are Needed to Tone Up the
Digestive Organs.

Loss Of appetite, distress after eating,
shortness of breath, feeling of utter
weakuess-these are symptoms that are
familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble. Too often the ordinary doctors
treatment serves but to weaken the dis
ensed organs.
The new tonic method of treating dis
orders of this kind does not aim to do the
work of the stomach, does not demand
that the food be pre-digested, but builds
up the weakened organs, SO that they can
do the work that nature intended.
