10000 HORSES EATEN IN A YEAR
Consumption Increases Fast In Paris
and Is Aided by Doctors.

Parls.-According to official statis
tics, 10000 horses were eaten in
Paris last year. This represents about
II 100000 kilogrammes of horseflesh
as compared with the earlier figures
of 1899, when total of only 5000 900
was eaten. This branch OF the butch.
er business in Paris seems to be
growing rapidly in favor, so that the
horse butcher is assuming the posi-.
tion OF quite q respectable competitor
with the beef butcher.
Horse butchers signs, with a gid
ed horeshead above the door, are
numerous in certain quarters of the
city, and horse butchers are rapidly
preempting spaces in the market
halls. This is particularly the case
in well.to-do sections, and the fact al.
most prompts the suggestion that The
doctors are in league with the horse
butchers.
Doctors are more and more recon.
mending for certain patients who are
in need Of building up their shattered
systems a bit of horsehesh and for
persons whose constitutions are
thoroughly run down with weakened
stomachs they prescribe the juice OF
horseilesh, prepared under >certain
simple conditions, instead of the fresh
meat itself
At the markets during the early
morning hours each day men and
women stand in line waiting their
turn TO be served by the horse butcher.
They call for a nice steak or filet, and.
being well yersed on the matter of
quality, are very particular In their
selections. Some butchers make II
speciality OF mule meat, which con-
talns more fatty matter than horse
meat.

"Tn my experience going through
Dthe minor leagues every spring while
on our training trips I have noted
many peculiarities of the minor leag-
tie ball players" remarked Clarke
Griffith the other day. II had talked
with Billy Smith manaer Of the At
lanta team, while in that city, and he
told me that he noticed that when
ever player in the minors was pro-
nounced left-field hitter, struck the
major league. he became unable to hit
anywhere but right field and this con-
tinned even after he returned to the
small fry. Now there is a reason for
this. and think that have figured
It out.
In the minor leagues where each
club has about one good pitcher. while
the others are only ordinary, the bats
man gets toe hold and takes full
swing at the ball, meeting II before
Il Is upon him, with the result that
ne pulls into left field. Now in the
mapor leagues the youngster finds
himself up against first t-class twirlers
day in and day out with the result
that IL he takes his long swing he
probably does not touch the ball at
all. OF, hits II into right field, be-
cause they have more speed and quick
er shoots on the ball. The result Is
that he shortens his hold on the
stick and in order not to be fooled
