It May b come Popular Sometime --Prejudice Against it is Strong, But There is No Good Reason For It, HORSEFLE movers Toronte Steck Exchange Special attention given COBALT STOCKS We have just issued a new map of the Co- 1 Mall Gazette. lv or wrongly, sentiment, at any rate in this country, is very vigorously directed against the use of horseflesh for food. The feeling is very strong, and not a few persons evince disgust at the mere mention of the suggestion that an equine steak can rival the usual beef- steak, as regards flavor and tenderness. But there are connoisseurs who allege that a Chateaubriand better from the gustatory point of view when it is prepared from the flesh of the horse. The prejudice against horse- flesh has doubtless arisen from a fam- iliarity with the hard working habits of the animal, and partly, perhaps, on account of the association with the diet of the cat. There is some idea that hard work renders the fleshy parts of the animal unfit for food, and yet in countries where it has been the custom to eat horseflesh the demand is rapidly growing. In Paris, for example, it is reported that last year close upon 50,000 horses were killed for food, this showing an increase of 5,000 horses on the figurep of the previous year. It would appear however, that the consumers of horse- flesh are to be found chiefly among the poor people who are not able to pay the higher pri¢es for beef or mutton. Still the fact remains, sayy The Lancer, that horseflesh is a nutfitious meat, and it* can be prepared in such a way ag to be 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 use of it, and. indeed, the immunity which the horse (unlike the ox) enjoys from tuber- culous disease is a decided point in favor of the use of horseflesh as against beef Prejudice, however, dies hard, and not, perhaps, until the motor has com- pletely driven the horse from a life of {toil will its flesh be added to our list of g | meat foods to relieve the present monot- {opous: round of mutton and beef. Whatever may be said in favor of the {value of horseflesh for food, and whether | sentiment is right or wrong, there can {never be any justification for passing it loff ag something else.

Trial. pAVID AL ACTING AS SCARECROWS, Strange Occupation Followed in English Villages. Baltimore Sun. Human beings as scarecrows? Why sot? Ir may seem queer and brutal to an American, but in England the human scarecrow is common. As he stands out there, in the middle of the flat Suffolk field, there is little to show he is not the ordinary manimate scarecrow. He stands motibnless for five minutes at a time, and only when a bird is tempted by the fresh corn just appearing "above the ground does he show any sign of life. From the road outside the field he looks e like the conventional col- lection of old clothes proppei upon a stick. Even the crows are contemptuous of the figure, ang every row and then a number of them appear leisurely above the hedge and settle on the field. But then it is that the scarecrow moves; he hits an old tin can with the rusty handle of a shovel and frightens the birds, and makes them fly quickly out of sight. ; : So he spends his day, this old bent man, and at the end he is paid 36 centg. He is the village scarecrow. atever the weather may be, he is expected to be there. In rain he may shelter under the nearest hedge,.but he must watch his fields, and if the birds take advantage of his absence he must go out nto the open and scare them from the corn, _ For this old man knows well that he 1s competing for his living against the clothes propped upon a stick or the dead crows scattered about the field, and It 1s necessary that he should take a certain pride in his profession. Unless he can show the farmer that he is more effective than the convention- al scarecrows, he cannot make a living in the few months between the sowing of the seed .and the appearance of the corn, While the boys of the village are in school he can earn enough in these few months of the year to keep him from the workhouse. He is still capable of scar- ing birds. His very clothes are a qualification. He looks exactly like a scarecrow, and he has the advantage of being able to hit an old tin can with the rusty handle of a shovel. At 1 o'clock he has his dinner of bread and cheese by the side of the hedge, but every now and then he gets up and looks round to see that the fields are free from birds. Sometimes, when 'the day is colder than usual, his granddaughter from the cottage a mile away brings him a hot dinner in a basin covered with a cloth, and while he eats she ais fo him about her school, and if a bird appears runs carefully onto the field and claps her hands and frightens it. And then the old man--this shabby guardian of the fields--is left ajohe. The only suggestion of life is af collection of old clothes propped upon a stick in the field near by a mile away. And when the old man fooks at this silent competitor of his he is filled with new energy, and strides off to the field, making a great noise with his old tin ean. One Against Husbands. Mr. Burdette insists that he once overheard a woman lecturing her hus- band as follows: . "Now, . I'l tell you why I wouldn't go into the restaurant and have a cup of coffee with you while we were waiting for the train. I didn't like the way you asked me. Not-half an hour before, you said to Mr. Puffer, 'Come, let's get a cigar," and away you went, hold- ing his arm and not giving him a chance to decline. "When we met John Howdy on our way to luncheon, you said, 'Just in time. John; come, take lunch with us.' And then, to-night, when we had to wait an hour for the train, you looked at your watch, turned on me, and said, in questioning way: "Would you like cup of coffee?" And I did want it. was tired and a little hungry, but I would have fainted before I would have accepted such an invitation. And you Cent away a little bit vexed with me and had your coffee and bread and butter by yourself, and didn't enjoy it very much. In effect you said to me, 'If you want a cup of coffee, if you reafly want it, I will buy it for you. > "You are the best husband in the world, but do as nearly all the best hus- bands do. Why do you men seem to dole out things to your wives when you fairly throw them to the men you know? Why didn't you invite me heartily as you fnvite men? Why didn't you say, 'Come, let's get a little coffee and some- thing, and take me stright away with you' \ "You wouldn't say to a man, 'Would you like me to go and buy you a cigar? They why do you always issue your little invitations to treats in that way to me? : "Indeed. if men would only act to- wards their wives as heartily, cordially and frankly as they do towards the men whom they meet, fhey would find cheer- ier companions at home than they could at the club." : a a I Be Disease Proof.
