5O,OOO HORSES FURNISHED PARIS
 FOOD IN l930

Paris-CUP)-The syndicate of Horse Butchers in Paris reports that more than 5O,O0O horses were eaten during 1880, in Paris, and many Of them on doctors orders. Brillat-Sa- varin, whi coined the expression, '"Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you what you are," was fond or extolling the virtues of horse meat, and the Parisian lower classes have taken him at his word.
 The words "horse meat" or "horse steak" does not appear on the menu in sfart restaurants, but it can be bought from special butch CT shops. plainly marked with a horse head in compliance with pre- fectorial decrees.
 The word "beef'' disguises many horse steak, and so delicately and expertly is it cooked that 1t often fools the most chitical judge. It IS only after the meat has been eaten and the meal finished that there seems to be a certain sensation Tn the roof of the mouth of stickiness and lingering aftertaste that dis tinguishes it from ather accepted meats.
 For certain ailments a great deal Ol HOfSe IHcdt iS uocu oy . and clinics for patients. Its tonic properties are famous and after 1t has passed through the laboratories it is put into many synthetic med1- cines. The hoofs have long been used to make gelatinous substances for capsules and food.
 It is the idea that horse is mans frined that is the greatest drawback to his value as table viand, but doctors and butchers are agreed that horse meat is being eaten 1T greater quantities every year ane that it will not be long before 1t vii | be considered as much delicac! as chicken, raost beef of boiled ham.

"Only through a careful study of our
dialects will it be possible TO determine
the definite linguistic reasons for the
many names for a single object. In
the United States it is common for the
same object to have different names in
different localities. 1t is also true that
a certain name may have a quite DIFF

in which it is used.
