Any one who has watched for the
last quarter of century or more the
history in this country of those types
of crime which require exceptional
courage must have been impressed
by the fact that they have grown
more difficult. are more and mor7-
rarely successful, and that. conse-
quently, they have ceased to be so
attractive to men of lawless tempera-
ment rs formerly. The man who
readily turns his hand to violence has
been driven again and again from one
species Of exploit to another until to-
day the "yeggman." or travelling

Around Philadelphia, especially. both
in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the

PREJUDICE AGAINST HORSE STEAKS
Not Likely to Die Out Until Motors Take
Place Of Animals.

ptsbt,v or wrongly. sentiment at any rate in
this country, Is very vigorously directed against
the use OF horsefesh for food. The feeling Is very
strong and not few persons evince disgust at the
mere mention Of the suggestion that an equine
steak can rival the usual beefsteak as regards
flavor and tenderness But there are connoisseurs
who allegs that Chateaubriand steak is all the
better from the gustatcry point OF view wnen II Is
prepared from the flesh of the horse TIE preJu-
dice against horsefesh has doubtless arisen from
familiarity with the hard working habits Of tbs
animal, and partly perhaps on account OF its as
ISOLATION with the diet OF the cat
There fs some idea that hard work renders ths
deshy parts of the animal unfit for food. and yet
in countries where It has been the custom to eat
horseffesh the demand is rapidly growing. IN PARIS
for example II IL reported that last year CLOSE
upon fifty thousand horses were killed for FOOD.
this shoinr an increase Of Ave thousand horses on
the figures OF the previous year. 1t wouid appear
however that the consumers Of horseheSh ara 10
be found chiefly among the poor people, VINO arc
not able to pay the higher prices for beef or nut-
ton Still. the fact remains that horsenesh Is
nutritious meat and It be prepared in such a
u,s1 ss to he an attractive meat food which need
not be tough or Objectionable from the point Of
view OF flavor. There are no physiological reasons
against the of 1t. and, indeed, the immunity
which the horse unlike the ox) enjoys from tuoer-
culous disease decided point in favor OF the use
Of horsehesh against beef.
Prejudice however dies hard. and not. perhaps.
until the motor has completely driven the horse
from life Of toll will flesh be added to our list
of meat foods to relieve the present monotoncus
round of mutton and beef Whatever may be said
in favor OF the value Of horsehesh for food. and
whether sentiment is right wrong. there can
never be any Justification for passing II on as
something else. Even IN places where horsehesh is
a popular food, chiefly in the form OF a sausage

the article which they sel.-Lancet-
