RESULT OF THE MEAT SCARCITY
IN THAT coUNTRY-THE DIS.
cUssIoN IN THE REICH.
STAG.

BERLIN, Dec. 13.-The Reichstas
4 discussed interpretations Of the govern,
ment on the meat scarcity in Ger
many, introduced by the radicals and
socialists. The Chancellor was ask
Jed whether the government was win.
ing to improve the situation by open
ing the frontiers to the importation
4 Of cattle and by the BOLTON Of or re.
j 1uctlon in the duties an animal foods.
Herr Wiener, radical. cited the
Y wholesale price Of meat in Germany
i as being 221s cents pound, while in
Belgium 1t was 14c, in Spain 1870, in
France 1Sc, in England 1874. in the
q United States 13c and in Russia 91sc,
He added that the various petitions
and complaints Of the commercial
chambers and town councils were the
best argument that the whole popn'
lation felt the meat scarcity. The
speaker further asserted that the meat
consumption. which was over 400
pounds per head in Germany in 1904,
was only a little over 3G6 pounds per
head in 1906, while the consumption
/ Of horse and dog flesh had increased
considerably.
Herr Wiener also said that he had
been informed that the German naval
authorities had asked the government
for permission to order foreign canned
meat in case of mobilization, II the
supply Of German canned meat was
insufficient

ner, replying in the name Of the Chan
] cellor, declaring that the latter was
considering the possibility Of permit
+ ting the import of cattle without re-
strictlons from Austria and Swttzer'
land. with certain precautions. and Of
cattle or preserved meat from Rus,
STA, Denmark, Sweden and Norway
1t was hoped that reduction of the
tariff on the inland transport Of flesh
meat would improve the situation, but
the government declined to make any
reduction of the duties on cattle or
meat or TO abolish any OF the tariffs
fixed by commercial treaties with va
rfous states. The Minister, however,
expressed the hope that the home pro-
ducton, which already supplied IS
per cent Of the population, would ex'
pand under the protective tariff.
Minister of Agriculture Won Arnim'
criewen pointed out that similar con,
ditions existed abroad The increase
in the price of pork was caused by the
scarcity of pigs in foreign countries.

able Indian name whenever one is de-
sired, since dictionaries of the Chippewa,
Greek, Delaware, Micmac and Nipissing
languages have been printed, and manu-
script dictionaries of the Abenaki. Black
foot, Illinois, Massachusetts, Montagnais
and Pottawottomis are in existence. The
Algonquin speaking peoples probably COW
cred a greater area than those of any
other of the linguistic stocks of North
America, stretching from Labrador to the
Rocky mountains and from the Churchill
river of Hudsons bay to the Pamlico
sound of North Carolina. Their litera-
ture is extensive, and it will be remem-
bered that the whole Bible-the first print
ed in this country-was in the Massachu-
sets language.
Difficulties often arise in getting tho
right names to fit localities, although the
Indian place names are so thoroughly de-
scrptive that this need be due only to
lack of linguistic attachments. Many place
names are almost wholly descriptive,
while other Of these Indian designations
are imaginative. Qunsigamond, even
now famous for plckerel. means the long
nosed fishing place. "Chippapuock, the
old Nipmuck name for the Pleiades, is lit
orally and POLITICALLY the term used for
.the brood hen" Ont of these Indian
names we may do something more than
give euphonious titles to localities or ho-
tells. We may be accurately descriptive
at the same time The primitive uncon-
taminated American Indian did not pos
sess a large vocabulary, and even of this,
a part has been lost. In old Indian deeds
we find words in the Massachusetts, langu-
age which no one is able to translate.
In preserving those names which remain.
we are keeping perpetual about all that
is left of our primitive Indians. and 1t Is
well worth while.
