II seemed to Mrs. Thorne that
something frightened suddenly about

EUROPE IS FOND OF HORSE sAUsAGEs,
Redder Than Ordinary Kinds, and 'Dimpled
with Pieces of Fat"

Thousands of the best horses In the United
Kingdom. thrown out of employment by the ad-
vent of the motor car, are being exported to the
Continent for food, many OF them being made
into sausage. says THE Boston Herald"
The United Kingdom. the largest importer in
the world of cattle and sheep for slaughterlns
purposes. Is. oddly enough, now the largest eN-
porter of horses for the same purpose.
Consul D. W. Williams, at Cardiff says the
number of horses which now average one for
every twenty-five inhabitants, has varied very
little from 2100OOO for fifteen years. but the
number exported for all purposes rose from r.
612 in 1901 to 47.7OS in 1909 and 60414 in 1906
The exporting of horses for breeding and other
purposes had been profitable for many years,
but the increase since 1901 is altogether due TO
the trade I'm horse meat IN certain Continental
countries.
This is apparent from the fact that only TO-
$50 of the number exported in 1909 were valued
at more than 500 each.

The growing demand for horse meat on the
Continent is due chiefly To the shortage and
high prices of other meats.
Sausage is also popular form of meat In
several countries among classes who for various
reasons have no inclination to buy canned meats
