EATING HORSE.

We frequently find mention made of the use of horsefesh as food, but in the country we are very much disposed to look on the stories as fakes, or at least very largely exaggerated. Our disbelief Is largely because we have not been in the habit of regarding horse flesh as fit for human food, but another reason Is that these animals are too valuable in this country to al- low them slaughtered for beef" The average price of good horses in the United States would make such meat an expensive luxury for the person of moderate means.
 It is different in some portions of Europe. In Paris We know that horse flesh is eaten to a considerable extent, but 1t seems that Germany bids fair to become the greatest consumer of this diet According to some figures compiled by The Manchester (N. H) Union, there are 200 slaughter houses for horses in Berlin alone, and in the suburbs fifty more, employing all to- gether 1000 men. In Hamburg 5000 horses are slaughtered for food an- nually." We have no figures for other cities. but if Berlin and Hamburg are not exceptions. the number of horses killed for food must be enormous.
 The reason for this excessive use of horse flesh Is that the high tariff im- posed by Germany on all imported meats has placed the price of beef. mutton and pork almost beyond the reach of the greater portion of the population. We are not surprised, un- der the circumstances. to find a state ment from German horse dealers that the price of horses Is continually ris- ing, and that they are unable to supply the demand. We do not know wheth- CT they kill only the broken-do ami mals, but if they do they can hardly keep up with the increasing require ments. and if they kill the young and serviceable animals. we may feel sure that horse meat Is likely to be as dear in that country as any other kind of food. Such meat is not popular in this country, cheap or dear.

Mexico City. Sept. 10.-The Federal District authorities continue their war against gamblers, foreign and native, ana since the last of last month gam pIers have been unable to secure licenses. The police break up gambling as fast as discovered.

National Mexican Lotteries VIII Be
 Abolished in One Year.

Guadalajara. Mexico. Sept. IO.-state officials here say that word has been sent out from the City of Mexico that all lotteries In the republic must be suppressed.
 The suppression will follow the expi- ration of franchises held by the Loteria de la Beneticiencia Publica. This fran chise was granted for twenty five years and has year yet to run. The Federal Government will set an example by sup pressing the national lottery. which Is under Government control, and the States which conduct lotteries, 1t Is certain. will follow suit Jalisco is one of these States. The lotteries conducted by private concerns will be given a certain period in which to close up their business. The action will be in line with the efforts of the Mexican Govern ment to suppress gambling in every form.

Tuscaloosa TImes-Gazette.
 There is a certain way of estimating a part of the growth of a community by watching the bank deposits. When the Government called for reports last year at this time Tuscaloosa's three na- tional banks showed a total of deposits amounting to $66s, ,409.57. The bank statements now being published show deposits in the sum of $S5S.372. 40. This Is an increase of nearly two hun dreds thousand dollars. When 1t Is considered that there are less than half a dozen men In Tuscaloosa worth over $100,000. and that much Tuscaloosa money has gone into buildings the past year. the indications of growing wealth are very encouraging indeed.

National Quarantine.

We are glad to note that some of the influential papers are advocating Fed eral control of the quarantine reEuIa- tions and epidemic diseases There are many potent reasons why the Federal Government should control in these matters, among which may be men tioned the financial ability to meet every condition, its power to make regulations uniform and apply alike, elimination of conflicting and brutal quarantines and Its power to enforce without discrimination every rule laid down. In fact 1t Is national and not local matter. because 1t affects the interests of all the States

an equal number of teams will be
employed right away. This force
will be augmented later on by the
addition of one or two large steam
outfits. The canal they are to dig
will result in the removal of a million
yards of earth, and represents about
one-third of the work that is to be
done there. The canal will be from
five to seven feet deep with a width
on the bottom of 35 feet. The very

ODDITIES OF BIRD AND ANIMAL LIFE

Here are some bird and animal
stories picked up in different parts Of
Vermont, all of which are vouched for
by the New England ornithological
and Audubon society:
H. w. Russell, who lives in the vii
lage of Hinesburg, Chittenden coun-
ty, heard commotion in his garden
late one light a week ago, and, TAX
ing a lamp, went out to investigate
He had hardly stepped off the stooo
when a good-sized black bear walked
up to him and emitted a loud "woof,
woof" Being in night attire and hav-
ing no gun handy, Mr.. Russell hove
the lamp at the animal and disap-
peared within the house, where he
remained until morning. He was tell
ing the story next DAY, when he learn
ed that Mrs. 7. Beaupre, a neighbor,
had seen the bear. She heard it in
her back yard and thought it was
dog after her pet cat. She walked
right onto it and was about to slap
it with a broom, when she found her
visitor was a bear. Earl Jackson
heard her shouts for help and arriv-
ed on the scene with a S2-calibre re-
volver He fired three shots, all of
which took effect in the animals
flank. Bruin cast look of reproach
at his tormentor and disappeared in
the darkness. q.
A woodchuck with tree-climbing
tendencies, has been killed at the foot
OF Mt. Graylock, near the village of
Pownal, Bennington county. The hero
of this adventure was a dog owned
by J. Wells Thompson, a druggist, of
Pittsfield, Mass, Thompson and the
dog were out in the woods, when the
canine spied the woodchuck running
for a stone wall and took after it. He
had chased woodchucks many times
before and was therefore, greatly as
tonished when the pursued bolted uT

ed that he stood stock still. The ami

tuberculosis First, Accidents Second,
as Causes of Death.

From the statistics prepared by the
head clerk covering the past biennium
some very interesting facts are shown,
says the Modern Woodman. For in
stance, during the two years, out of
total of 1907 deaths, 1904 were
what are termed "short-term deaths;
that is, they were deaths from those
who had been members OF the society
less than five years.
Another interesting fact is that
during the two years there were SS5
accidental deaths, making the risk
from accident next to the greatest in
that society.
The largest number died from tu-
berculosis, 1896 dying from that dis
ease. During the two years 246 com
mitted suicide, 49S died from typhoid
fever, 55S from heart disease. S54
from cancer 407 from Brights dis
ease, and 746 from pneumonia. Ap-
pendicitis caused the death of ia;
apoplexy had 165 victims; ia died
from diabetes, and 155 from stomach
trouble.
The fact, however. that accident

Essex Junction has a bird that is
cross between a robin and whippor
will: 1t looks and sings like both, and
is creating a great deal of interest.
The bird made its appearance some
weeks ago and tried to find a mate.
1t sang like a robin at that time,
and soon paired off with thrush of
that species. The couple began to
build house and had nearly finished
when the male perched on a roof and
shouted "whipporwin, whipporwin,"
at the top of his voice. Mrs Robin
was Mortified and deserted without
the formality of getting a divorce.
She would have nothing more to do
with her Jekyl-Hyde partner and took
up with a spouse who would stick to
his own language. The first husband
made an awful fuss when the newly
matted pair took up an abode in the
home he had helped construct, but
after he had been whipped a couple
of times he accepted the inevitable.
| Persons who have watched him with
opera glasses say he is as much whip

HOOD RIVER ELECTRIC PLANT.
VIII Furnish Light and Power and
Cost $4,000.

The Hood River Electric Light
Power & Water company, is eXpend-
ing $4,000 in the construction of a
dam in the stream of Hood River; a
suspension bridge for carrying a five
foot pipe line, and a power house for
developing electrical energy, says the
Hood River Glacier.
The dam will be built short dis
tance above the city, at a point about
midway between Johnson's point and
the present power house. A five-foot
pipe line crossing the stream on sus-
pension bridge will convey the water
to the power house on the east side Of
the river. about 1000 feet below the
dam. This will give fall of so feet,
and developed 500 horse power.
A portion of the power will be used
in operating the box factory of the
Davidson Fruit Co.. also the recently
constructed ice factory and cold stor-
age plant The balance of the devel-
oped power will be for the use of
manufacturing plants yet to locate
