Roast Horse in Berlin,

Berlin Correspondence Of the London Telegraph
The considerable increase In the prices Of
beef. mutton and pork throughout the en-
pire gives occasion to the trade organ OF
the German butchers to draw attention to
the ever-increasing use made of horseflesh
as an article of diet. Horsefesh 10 more
free from parasites than beef and pork, and
richer IN nutriment. 1t Is only sentiment
Says the trade journaD which leads 80
many persons to object to II. Horsefiesh
dealers are unable to execute all the or.
ders which reach them.
In Berlin there are 200 slaughter houses
for horses, and in the suburbs fifty. employ
ing about 1000 men. The Berlin municipal
ity intends shortly to provide large GEN.
trail slaughter house. One of Hamburg's
best-known products Is horsefiesh sausages.
The industry has already been in existence
for fifty years. A considerable quantity OF
these sausages. 1t might be mentioned arc
exported as beef sausages. Probably COCO
horses are slaughtered every year in Ham,
burg for food. Not long ago in Berlin the
owner of certain restaurant invited about
fifty of his friends to a banquet, at which
dishes of beef and horsefesh were served.
and only six of those present were able TO
distinguish between the roast beef ana the

rubric for this official cult not only was
the god assimilated to a mummified hero,
but that he also had to be adored by acts

These ancient rituals. therefore, afford a
mingling of the practices of the alien races
or of the earlier and the later ones of the
same people. The skeletons discovered by
Prof. Petre and NJ. Amelineau and NJ De
Morgan upon sites Of the earlier Egyptian
places of sepulchre had been effectually dis
articulated and carefully rearranged, and
the fact that the ritual for the worship or
the gods in many cases deifed ancestors
and chiefs contains texts speaking of the
replacing, or rather the readjustment OF
the bones of the skeleton to their original
serial order, distinctly declares a recollec-
ton of an epoch in which the skeleton was
broken up and arranged quite otherwise
than in life. The idea that the RECONSTRUCT

the rubrics required to be reclted at re-
ligious fetes through almost all Egyptian

ARE BUYING LARGER FARMS.
Tendency Of Rural Population to De
crease as Wealth Increases.
the Springfield Republican

From the Springfield Republican
1t seems paradox, but is nevertheless
well established as true, that in certain Of
the best farming regions OF the United
States great and Astounding agricultural
prosperity has resulted In decreased rural
population. A no less striking than sur
prising illustration of this is given in a re-
cent state census report of Iowa. which is
reported to show a falling off of per cent
in the population of that great and pros
porous state since the general census Of
1900. OF course such a result was not
acceptable to Iowa's pride and it was not
readily accepted. Close inquiry. however.
Is reported not only to confirm the general
correctness of the new count, but to show
a sufficient reason for its disa ppointinK re-
suit
The explanation offered is that 1t Is all
! due to the land-hunger of the prosperous
Iowa farmer. Having money ahead and
well knowing that good farm land in thu
Mississippi valley is one of the safest and
| most profitable of investments, he has been
buying in the adjoining farms of his less
forehanded neighbors to such an extent, the
reports say, that vacant farm houses dot
every township in the state. Many of these
vacant farm houses may again be occupied
| by the sons and sons-in-law Of the pur-
chaser; some of them will be abandoned
and the newly acquired lands consolidated
, into larger farms. And If Iowa follows the
| course of development that has been going
| on for many years in the magnificent farm
| ing regions OF central Illinois the console
| dated farms will be leased in tracts Of SO
| to 800 acres. or more. to thrifty and pros
porous tenant farmers.
The process as 1t has gone in Illinois for
| number of years is that the weather.
land owner buys out the forty-and-eighty-
| acre farms of his neighbors tile-drains and
otherwise improves them. often renting the
| same land or larger tracts to the vendors,
who generally made more money as tenants
than they had done as owners. The tenant
| farmers of central Illinois put their capital
| into the best of farm implements and ma
| chinery and live stock. Their prosperity is
| seen in their comfortable and well-fur-
nished houses. the well-kept vehicles and
horses with which their families drive to
| church and to country gatherings In CEN
! trail Illinois Just now the tendency is to
| larger farms. the tenant generally desiring
| to increase his area and the landlord regu-
| lating the quantity of land he will lease by
| the proved capacity and success Of ca eh
