Adee's shoes,

Assistant Secretary Of State Adee
probably owns more shoes than any
other man in Washington, excluding
dealers. He keeps about q dozen pairs
in his office at the state department
and as many more at his home. Mr..
Adee has not accumulated his shoes
because Of any fad. but merely for the
comfort that he has learned can only
be obtained by having constantly on
hand a multiplicity of shoes. 1t ap-
pears that when he arrives at his Of
fee in the morning after brisk walk

his shoes and that through the day he
makes several other changes when
ever his pedal extremities begin to feel
uncomfortable. For the most part the

Denmark and Its EeIs.

Denmark, for reasons partly Of gas
tronomy and partly Of trade, is dis
tressed at the aversion shown by the
eel for its shores. The fish is now and
for some years has been abandoning
the Little Belt in great numbers for
the Atlantic. never to return. People
are beginning to ask themselves If the
taste of eel pie is to vanish from Den
mark forever. An ichthyOlOgist who
has spent some time in observing the
creatures has come to the conclusion
that they always glide or In dark wa
tiers. This has suggested the bright
idea Of running a deep sea cable along
the track most frequented by the emf
grants and lighting the water up with
electric lights so as to fascinate the fish
into remaining where they are.

HoRsEFLEsH AS FOOD.
IL II Cheap and II Rapidly Growinl
In Favor In Eurone


In Favor In Europe.
In Belgium, as In other European
countries, the sale OF horsefiesh is be-
coming a recognized branch Of the
Dutchering business, according to Con-
sui McNally of Liege. Scattered
through Liege are many shops selling
horse meat exclusively. a horse head at
tached to the front Of the shop or a
sign indicating the business within.
While 1t is not forbidden for a meat
market to handle both beef and horse
meat, Ii Is quite unusual to do so. deal
ers carrying their separate lines. When
the meat is dressed and exposed for
sale the only noticeable difference is
In the color, which Is Of n deeper red
and has cOarser fiber than the beef.
Those accustomed to eating hOrsefesh
are loud in its praise and declare It to
be as palatable as beef and that many
persons eat horsehesh under the i'm
preston that they are eating beef.
There is no doubt that horsefeSh Is
growing In favor. II sells for about
half the price of beef or mutton.
The dealers in horse meat are most
active in prOclaiming the prime quality
OF their article. and n campaign of per
suasiOn is now on. They contend that
the horse In ancient times was held in
high esteem: that the eating of horse
flesh was common before the eighth
century and that in China the horse has
been eaten for COO years. The first
European people openly practicing hip
pOphagy were those of Denmark i'm
1877. when Nauoie0a invaded that
country. The Grr.GaIs also attribute
that practice in their country to the
same person during the wars Of 1915.
ut which time the food supply was very
low. The first hippophaGic slaughter
house was created in Prussia in 1917.
also year Of great famine.
In Belgium the eating of hOrsefiesh
dates back to 1870. from which time
it has been increasing steadily In
Liege many colts are slaughtered for
sale as well as young horses. The ami
NAL undergOes the same rigid inspec-
ton given to beef mutton or pork. The
number OF horses and colts slaughter
ed for LieGe in 1904 was 1.2ST. and it
is estimated ut 1000 head for 1905.
The choice cuts of horse meat sell for
about 20 cents n pound. while the beef
commands about 30 cents.

Client Roman encampment in Britain
at Caerwent. The remains have been

conventional practice OF the Romans
in the designs of their residences, as
revealed by previous excavations in
