A GERMAN WRINRLE.

Perhaps we shall have to revise our
notions little about dog-eating. 1t
may be that we can't afford to look
down on everybody who eats dogs.
That is an interesting effect which the
new German tariff has had. The in
creased duties in Germany on imported
meats and on cattle and swine for meat
have been accompanied by increased
prices for meats, with a marked de-
crease in the number of swine slaugh-
tered and with a largely increased use
of horse meat and dog meat for human
food. There was a slight increase in
the number of cattle and sheep butch
cred in the closing months Of last year,
though it was not more than proper
tionate to the increase of population,
while the number Of hogs slaughtered
in the last three months of the year
was 9S1 800 smaller than in the same

over period Of century and a quar-
ter it had given to us many memories
of pride to thrill us as we read and
hear Of what has been done by our
fighting men of the sea, from Perry and
Mcdonald to Farragut and Dewey"
1t was the mention of the hero of Ma
Mia Bay that started the enthusiasm,
and the outburst of applause which
came from all parts of the armory,
overwhelmed the admiral, who mod
estly bowed his head in acknowledge
ment and quietly wiped away the tears
of appreciation which could could not
be restrained. The President in
jected at this point one Of the most at
tractive interpretations in his address.
AS the applause subsidized, the Presi-
dent with a wave of his hand said:
All Of which show that while Presi-
dents are very well in their way, it is
a great thing to have the memory Of
a first Of May. '-Washington Letter to

months Of the preceding year. In those
three months the consumption of horses
and dogs was far greater than ever be-
fore. The number of horses killed for
food was no less than 52,5S4, as against
1859 in the same months Of 1904. In
some parts of the empire the consump-
ton of horse meat far exceeded that of
beef. Thus in Mecklenburg-Schw
there were killed 1888 horses to 256
steers; in Mecklenburg-S trelitZ, 1855
horses and only 29 steers; in Anhalt,
COS horses and 312 steers, and in Lue-
beck, 1863 horses and ia steers. In Sax
ony, on the other hand, only about half
as many horses as steers were killed for
food and in Bavaria, Baden and Wur-
temberg the proportion was still small
err. But in Saxony the use OF dog
meat was largest, no fewer than l'4o4
such animals being killed for food. In
Prussia the number reported was ozo, III
Bavaria 1871, in Anhalt 1859, and in Ba-
den 8. In all Germany 2,405 dogs were
killed for food in the last three months
of last year, under official inspection.
Well, well! What next? 1t does not
seem probable that there will be any
need of eating horses or dogs in. this
country soon, and when the meat trust
is properly regulated" perhaps there
will never be-that is, hardly ever.

DESTRUCTIVE GROWTH.

A growing earth seems to be as bad
for ripping and splitting things as
growing boy. Mr.. F. L. Ransome Of the
United States Geological Survey has
been studying the San Francisco earth
quake, and he believes that it is Of tee
tonic origin. He sketches the geological
history Of California, and maintains,
from the frequency of quakes-there
were 76S shocks in California from
1850 to 1885, Of which 254 were record
ed in San Francisco-that the Coast
Range is young and still growing.
Hence the region, which is cut by long
north-northwest faults into narrow
blocks that are in turn traversed by
many minor dislocations, is in unstable
equilibrium. Under the operation of the
unknown forces of elevation and sub
sidence, stresses are set up which fin
ally overcome the adhesion of the OPP
posing walls of one or more of the fault
assures, an abrupt slip of few inches
or few feet takes place and an earth
quake results
Very likely. The theory is plausi-
BILE one. If it isn't selfish, and even
IL 1t is, we hope the earth has stopped
growing in This region. and that New
Haven, which is on the earth, has only
just begun to grow, and will In time
absorb Hamden and Montowese, and
other places where the grass row grows
green.

4 LITTLE sr0w.

1t will have to be sadly admitted that
the benevolent and beneficent govern
ment of the United States is a little
slow about doing some things it ought
to do. For more than forty years the
men who volunteered for emergency
service In the Civil War to defend
Washington against the attack Of Cen
eral Lee have been unsuccessfully try
ing to induce Congress to redeem its
promise to give them medals of honor
in recognition of their services. The
efforts Of these Civil War survivors
have been beaten in every Congress-
but this year they have adopted new
tactics which promise better results.
1t is now proposed to merge the bill of
the Civil War volunteers with that of
the Spanish War volunteers, who are
trying to get medals of honor for their
overtime service in the Philippines.
OSN6Edl Regiments Oh OlilO JlOopS 1G-
manned on duty in the Philippines after
their terms of enlistment had expired
and after peace had been declared
The War Department is anxious to
have medals Of honor bestowed on
these men, and the bill for this purpose
has been tackled on to the bill of the
Civil War volunteers and the two
forces have combined to secure favora-
BILE action.
Good luck to their united efforts. It
was in June, 1853, that the War depart
ment issued the following order: THE
Adjutant General will provide an ap-
propriate medal Of honor for the troops
Who after the expiration of their term,
have offered their services to the gov
eminent in the present emergency, and
also for the volunteer troops from other
States that have volunteered their SER
vices in the States of Maryland and
Pennsylvania" It is certainly about
time that appropriate medal Of honor
was issued.

ONE MORE CURE.

The inventor of a sure cure for rheu-
matism would soon be rich if he had
any business in him. The old cures
seem to be giving out. 1t is no longer
sufficient to carry a horse-chestnut in
ones pocket, or even a potato, Onions
carried in the stomach wont always
do the work either. So 1t is about time
for a new cure for rheumatism. What
happened in Brooklyn the other night
may serve as basis for new one
that will last long enough to get men
toned, A Brooklyn man who for years
has suffered from rheumatism so that
he was unable to get out of bed with
out pain had no difficulty in reaching
the floor the other night when he
awaked to find burglar in his room.
Moreover he grappled with the in
truder and held on to him until the
police arrived, and has since suffered
no return of the rheumatism.
Of course many people who are suf-
ferlng from rheumatism will hardly like
to be subjected to the burglar-cure, but
perhaps they might be willing to be
scared some in some other way, and
that might help them 1t has long
been known that sudden scare is good
to stop hiccoughs, and it might also
stop rheumatism. OF course If the
scare cure is used it'should be used on
people who wouldn't be scared to death
or into fits.

The War department has directed
that hereafter the United States mill
tary prison at Fort Leavenworth be
designated by department commanders
as the place of confinement of all gen
eral prisoners who are sentenced to
terms of confinement of one year or
more, except such as are sentenced to
terms in penitentiaries. This will
make it necessary for general courts
marital to designate the Leavenworth
prison, instead of naming any army
post. The military prison has for some
years been a penitentiary under the
Department of Justice, and has recent
ly been transferred to the War depart.

take care Of prisoners who had to
serve terms of confinement for more
than a year, and the availability of the
Leavenworth prison for the purpose in
dictated comes as a distinct relief of the
guardhouses at the larger army posts.

five or ten seconds-seconds, not min
