4} An expert on meats gives some facts about horseflesh, lest any of it should make its appearance here during the course of the struggle between the Beef Trust and its employsees. This expert ~as studied the question in Paris, where horse meat is an established commodity. The flesh of the horse is brownish red in color, while raw beef is all red with no brown in it at all. If you touch horse flesh the finger sinks in, and when you withdraw it the tissues of the flesh have a tendency to rise with it and cling to the finger. This is not the case with beef. When cooked the flesh is denser and heavier than beef, and has a sweetish taste. Horse fat melts to a clear fluid at a low temperatureâ€"something like 70 degreesâ€"while for beef fat the temâ€" at a low temperatureâ€"something like 70 degreesâ€"while for beef fat the temâ€" perature must be 112 degrees. This is perhaps the best and surest test. Raw horse flesh has a curious meâ€" tallic odor that is not noticed in beef. Horse flesh has been used to some exâ€" tent for food in this country, but wheâ€" ther there is much of it now is a quesâ€" tion that is hard to determine. a wellâ€"wnown iarmer, is the man cured «nd he makes the following statement: "I had Kidney Trouble, and it developâ€" ed into Diabetes.

Reverses the Role and Becomes the Hunter. With the possible exception of the basking shark, the "Sea Devil,"or "Ocean Vampire," is the largest of all the monâ€" sters of the deep. An unborn ocean vamâ€" pire, taken from the mother, preserved at the British Museum, is 5 feet broad, and before mounting weighed 20 pounds. The mother measured some 15 feet in length and quite as much in breadth. It is at all times a dangerous underâ€" taking to attempt to capture one of these monsters, says the Sunday Magaâ€" zine, but particularly so in the case of a mother accompanied by her offspring. She is quite capable of reversing the role of hunter and hunted, attacking and capsizing the boat containing her wouldâ€" be captors, and of seeing that none of them escapes alive. ts Phoak "Imagine," writes the Hon. William Elliot, in describing the exciting sport he had in hunting ocean vampires, "a monâ€" ster from 16 to 20 feet across the back, full 3 feet in depth, possessed of powerâ€" ful yet flexible flaps or wings with which he drives himself furiously in the water or vaults high in the air, through which he skims like some enormous bird; his feelers (commonly cailled horns), proâ€" jecting several feet beyond his mouth, and paddling all the small fry that conâ€" stitute his food into that capacious reâ€" ceptacleâ€"and you will have an idea, though an imperfect one, of this extraâ€" ordinary fish." ( i The soâ€"called "horns" to which allusion is made are a singular feature in this aniâ€" mal. The pectoral or breast fins, much elongated, pointed arched in front, conâ€" cave behind, stop short at the head, to reappear as frontal appendages projected on each side of the head. These appenâ€" dages take the form and character of limbs, being flexible and capa,ble of grasping prey, and carrying it to the mouth. The "feelers," as they are called, are sometimes three feet or more in length, and are curiously articulated at the ends so as to resemble the fingers of the human hand when clenched. In this way fishing boats and vessels of a much larger size have been dragged from their moorings jand in some cases capsized by the ocean vampire‘s having laid hold of the archor. An instance of this kind occurred in the harbor of Charâ€" leston. A schooner lying at anchor, sudâ€" denly, and seemingly ef its own volition, to the amazement and alarm of those on board, started at a furious rate across the harbor. Upon nearing the opposite shore its course changed so abruptly as almost to capsize the vessel ,and it reâ€" crossed the harbor to its former moorâ€" ings 0g0 These mysterious flights across the harbor were repeated a number of times in the presence of hundreds of astonished spectators, who were utterly at a loss to account for the phenomenon. The mi+ grations ceased as suddenly as they beâ€" gan. Not till then did the back and un dulating flukes of an immense . Ocean vampire, appearing above the water of the harbor, disclose the motive power that caused it all. One of the curious habits of the fish is to throw somersaults, sometimes at & considerable distance beneath the surâ€" face, sometimes at the â€" surface, and sometimes in the air above the surface. The reason for this peculiar practice, which is kept up for hours, has so far as the writer knows never been conjecâ€" tured. At times the great fish will throw himself bodily perhaps as much as ten or twelve feet in the air. A young man student of Columbia University, writing from Port of Spain, describes the flight of one of these enormous sea monsters, which passed completely over him and the light boat he was rowing. It is generally understood that adarge percentage of the Chinese are addicted to the use of opium. This is a misconâ€" ception. The belief that the Chinesa of rank and culture use the drug is due to the prominence given to the cultivation of the plant and the manufacture of opium in the Celostial Empire. . As a matter of fact, a native who uses opium is looked upon by his superiors as we discuss and classify our drunkards. The idea that a pill will produce an exhiliarating effect on the beginner is also erroncous. One must be accustomed to the use of the drug to get the pleasâ€" ant effect. The first pipe to an Ameriâ€" can produces nausea. Two or three will make him sick. If he can stand cigut to nine of these pills he is apt to dream, but the awakening is always an uuâ€" pleasant reality. Catarrh for twenty years and cured in a few Days.â€" Hon.

Wonderful Creations Which Are Made in the Court Kitchens. Royal etiquette demands that the chief wedding cakes throughout Europe be made in the royal kitchens. All the rest are received as gifts, except in unâ€" usual cases, where orders are sent out so that the royal confectioners may be relieved from undue stress of work, When Queen Victoria was _ married, quantity was in demand rather than elegance in design. Over a hundred cakes were made, and after the wedâ€" ding was over hundreds of choppers were engaged under the chief clerk of the kitchen in cutting the cakes to pieces and putting them into dainty boxes, which were forwarded to the master of the household. This funcâ€" tionary in his turn distributed them, in accordance with a list furnished him by the lord chamberlain, to Her Maâ€" jesty‘s messengers, who bore them to the various courts of Europe and other high places where a piece of cake was expected on this occasion. Messrs. Buzzard, the fashionable cakeâ€" makers of London, made for the Prinâ€" cess Beatrice a fine specimen of their art, for which the royal lady made her own choice of flowers, Among these were lilies and passion flowers in great profusion. Touches of color were given to these decorations, but every ounce of them was made of pure, edible sugar, and was intended to be eaten. Some confectioners use a composition over muslin for their flowers, but Buzzard prides himself upon using only sugar. As in everything else. there is always a desire for novelty. All the fine cakes made during the last year were decorâ€" ated with natural flowers. Porcelain WEDDING CAKES FOR ROYALTY HUNTING OCEAN VAMPIRES.

Since the earthquake in Palestine last April, someone circulated the story that the mouth of the River Jordan has been so affected by the shock that the level of ime river has been aitered to such an extent that at the place where the historic river goes into the Dead Sea there was now a waterfall of considerâ€" able depth and strength. This is altoâ€" gether false, and no change whatever bas taken place at or near the mouth of the Jordan. The writer has just spent some days there, and made it i’nis special business to investigate this matter, Much has also appeared in periodicals about steamboats navigating the Dead Sea. This too is a fabrication. The only boat on the Dead Sea is a small sailing boat about 20 feet long. This boat makes trips as the wind allows, from the north end of the sea to the bay on the eastâ€" ern side of the tongue that divides the water near the middle. Here at this terâ€" minus some Jews are located. _ The whole concern is, in fact, in the hands of Jews, who, at a low rate, buy wheat and barley. from the Arabs, to be deâ€" livered on the seashore.

Novel Ways of Making Them Confess Their Crimes. "There is only one custom in our counâ€" try which I would like to see established in America, and that is the custom _ of dealing with drunkards," said Isaac Yoâ€" hannen, a Persian missionary who lecâ€" tured to a large audience at the Norweâ€" gian Lutheran Church recently. "In our country when a man gets drunk we take him and nail him to the sidewalk, drivâ€" ing the spikes through his ears. Then, when other people come along they spit in his face and kick him until he he is sober. I think this method would do a geat deal of good in America because you have more drunkenness than we do. There are no saloons in Persia. The chief beverage being homeâ€"made wine. They don‘t even know what beer is." "Qur officials have several ways of making prisoners confess to crimes," said Mr. Yohannen. "The favorite method is to take them on a stand, around which all the people of the town gather, and then put out one eye. If the crime is not very great an arm is cut off or leg sevâ€" ered. If it is only a trivial offence proâ€" bably an ear is sacrificed. Very often innocent people are subjected to these torments, but it cannot be helped.
