MEAT PRICES.

| A porterhouse or a sirloin stake | in one shop may be 20c a pound | higher than in another locality. The 1 difference in price is based upon de- ! mand, location, over head expense, 1 volume of business and quality The i most important element is quality. | There is as much difference between first quality steak and one of in- ferior grade as is found between a thoroughbred horse and calico cayuse on the western plains. Car cass beef is divided into steers, heif- CTS and cows, and the cuts of meat from these carcasses depend upon the age, kind and quality of the an- 1mal. Sides of beef again are divided
 into prime, choice, good, medium and common grades. The various cuts in turn are graded according to their
 form, thickness, finish and quality. The grain and firmness of the lean
 meat, the marbling distribution of
 fat through the lean) and the pro-
 portion of bone and other waste in
 the cuts are factors in the quality of the beef. F'fneness of texture will be
 noted by the good judge of meat.
 The cut surface should be glossy, smooth or ''velvety'' in appearance
 and touch, as opposed to stringiness
 ana toughness. A good steak will be
 firm in substance. or body as dis
 tinguished from a soft, gIuey or washy consistency of the flesh. This is an indication of tenderness, jufci-
 ness and maturity. On the other hand, firmness due to a dry, stringy condition of the flesh is objectionable. Ripening oy ageing in the cooler 1n,- proves the firmness, tenderness and flavor of meat provided it is suffi-
 ciently fat. The fresh cut surface of the lean meat on a good grade of
 peef cut will be a bright, rich red and will turn brighter rather than darker after exposure to the ar at refrigerator temperature.
 Beef loins are graded into 70. 1's which must have a complete covering or White fat the thickness of which is in proportion to the lean, and bright, firm fine-grained, well mar Died flesh; No. 2s, with insufficient. excessive or uneven covering of fat and slight deficiency in grain, mar ping or color of flesh. and No. 3's, Whlch are more flat in shape, near ly or entirely lacking in covering of fat, and deficient in thickness and duality of flesh but sufficiently deyel oped to be cut into porterhouse and s1rlo1n steaks for cheap trade. No. l and 1oins can be distinguished by. their full, weI1-rounded shane
 The various grades of ribs of beef. differ in thickness, covering and quality to the same relative extent as the corresponding grades of lorn. The covering of fat on No. 1 ribs should be about one-half an inch in l depth.
 A meat dealer who can tell his customers the good points of the various grades of meat will not be | bothered much by complaints about | the cost of the product

Suppression Of Irish
 Republican Parliament
By HUGH CURRAN

Many persons have been killed and policemen. One soldier was shot in Fermoy a fortnight ago. If the pres ent tension is permitted to continue it needs no prophetic talent to speculate that there will be other victims. It is hardly an answer to say, as certain Irish Unionists do, that all that is wanted is firm government, a steady administration of the law under the Union. That docrine is sheer nega- tion and utterly inadequate to the sit uation. Things in reality cannot go on as they are; they cannot even be allowed to stand still. There is danger in every moment of delay. They are a hundred points whereat a single un- fortunate occurrence may ignite d whole magazine.
 Public feeling is in 8 dangerous ex- plosive mood, and no matter how much one may deplore and deprecare recent melancholy events, one cannot avoid thinkig that. worse is to come unless the situation is handled with discretion as well as firmness. To talk of a settlement of the Irish problem in the state of feeling which at pres ent exists would appear to be so much waste of breath.
 Lord French in Belfast said the government had only one policy for Ireland and that was to carry out the law. That, indeed, seems to be the only policy of which the present government is capable. And it may be said that a mighty poor job they are making of it.

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS

The French people have elected a new Chamber of Deputies under what has been somewhat enormously described as "a new and entirely un- familiar system of voting-that of scrutin de liste.'' As a matter of fact the republic, between 1885 and 1889, had a trial of this method of choos- ing all the deputies from each de+ partment on a general ticket, and the result proved rather awkward The constitutional law of 1875 pro vided for the election of the Cham Der of Deputies by universal suffrage and under the single district system the scrutin darrond dissem ent But it was thought that this method gave the reactionary monarchist minority an undue advantage, besides subject ing the deputies to the pressure of petty local interests Thus, after a ten years trial, the system of group voting by departments was adopted in the hope of getting a Chamber of broader and more national views, and of forming a Republican ma jority that would be more truly a great and united party, but it was found that, if anything the new sys-
 em brought an increase of power
