Choice roast of horse a la Suisse for
-dinner and a sirloin of horse for supper
Were the meat portion of the menu at
» the home of M. P H. Killian of St.
■ Louis recently He said that he and his
■ family will continue to eat horse meat
f long as he can afford to purchase
. horses suitable for the purpose. So far
I -as known Mr. Killian is the only advo-
■ cate of hippophagy in St. Louis, al
though both he and his wife claim that
there are many others, but that they
4ue not frank enough to own up to it.
Mr Killian is a native of Switzer
land and came to America about ten
years ago. His trade is that of a butcher,
-and he worked at it for 13 years before
coming here. He says that in the coun
try he came from horse meat is used as
■extensively for food as beef is here. He
-asserts that it is much more healthful
than beef and is used in his country
with great success in hospitals. Since
r-coming to America Mr. Killian says he
| lias not eaten horse meat until the other
•day, although he has often longed for
it, He says that he used it so long for a
•staple article of food that he prefers it
to any other meat.
The Killian family consists of him
self, his wife and three children, the
• oldest 8 years of age. Their comfortable
home and the appearance of the family
• dispel at once the idea that the horse
meat was eaten as a matter of necessity.
Each member of the family is the pic
ture of health. Mrs. Killian is a model
■ of the comely Swiss housewife and does
not look any the worse for eating the
meat with which her husband says he
■ - supplied his table.
In speaking of how he again com-
I menced using horse meat as a food, aft-
I er abstaining from it for so long, Mr.
Killian tells the following story: About
a month ago he found bin-self out of a
r. job and could find no other He was too
thrifty a man to sit calmly down and
. see his small savings spent without any
thing coming in, so he cast about for
some means of picking up a few stray
' > dollars to supply the family larder until
hefcould find a permanent position. Be
h ing a butcher, he went among the slaugh
• ter houses of St. Louis and in his ram
bles found one that was unused. This
hevented for a small amount and start
ed in a new business on his own hook.
It is a fact that there is on sale at the
horse and mule markets a certain class
of animals which to the dealers is known
as “glue stock.” This is old horses
- and mules, so antiquated, and decrepit
that they are unfit even to haul an ash
. cart This “glue stock” is usually sold
to the proprietors of glue factories and
brings from $1 to $8 per head. Killian
. knew of these sales and conceived the
idea of making money as a middleman
between the horse dealers and the man
ufacturers.
After having completed arrangements
with the glue manufacturers and rent-
L *ing the slaughter house he went to the
> mule and horse market and purchased a
-couple of horses, which he took to the
r .slaughter house and killed. He skinned
I the carcasses and sold the bodies at one
i of the glue factories. The hides he sold
I to a hide dealer, with whom he had
previously made arrangements. On his
investment he realized quite a neat lit
tle profit and was so well satisfied with
■ thQ results that he has continued in the
business, and it is yielding him a suffi
pa -cient sum to live comfortably.
While working on the bodies of the
hordes he had killed he experienced the
■desire to once more eat horse • meat.
Having killed so many horses for food
in the old country, he was a good judge
of the kind of an animal to be used for
that purpose, so he looked about for a
horse to be used as food. He finally
found one which could, J be purchased

which, be claims, was in a perfectly

of his intentions and was told that he
would be arrested To make matter*

and eat the horse and was refused. He
was a disappointed man when he left
the city .hall after the refusal, for bi»
appetite for horse meat had returned
and he now saw all chances of satisfy

learned that there was no law to pre

AN EVENING WITH DICKENS.
How the Great Author and Hlr People
Can Be Studied by Literary Clubs.
“For an evening with Dickens, ” ad
vises Fannie Mack Lothrop, writing of
“Evenings For Literary Clubs” in The
Ladies' Home Journal, "one of the
items of the programme might be a
sketch of his life condensed into about
200 words. The Dickens drawings by
Charles Dana Gibson might be ent from
The Journal and hung up before the au
dience and the story of each character
and incident illustrated told. The trial
from 'Pickwick' could be arranged for
individual reading or for a number to
take part in it A bright paper may be
written on ‘The People of Dickens'
World.' In Dickens’works there are
1,550 separate characters, enough to peo
ple a whole village.
“Some of Dickens' poems have been
'set to music—notably ‘The Ivy Green’
—and would make a pleasant feature.
Anecdotes of Dickens might be given by
ten or a dozen members, each giving
one. These might be interspersed
through the programme A member
with any cleverness in photography
might make a series of Dickens' lantern
slides from pictures in standard editions
of the novelist’s works and giveamagio
lan tert: entertainment. The death of
Paul Dombey would make a pathetic
reading trom ‘Dombey and Son.’ Mrs.
Jarley’s wax works, as described in ‘The
Old Curiosity Shop.' could be given
with some of the members grouped as
characters in the famous show and des

An Undeveloped Idea.
Some years ago, according to the Bos
ton Transcript, an inventor who had de
vised a new sleeping car took his plans
to Mr. Pullman. The latter, after look
ing over them, said: "‘There is an idea
there. 1 will give you $ 100,000 cash
for your patents. ” The inventor was a
poor man, and he Would not accept the
terms. He said that if the idea was
worth SIOO,OOO to Pullman it was
worth millions to him. The car was
built and proved a financial failure, and
it is believed that even to this day the
inventor does not know where the
“idea” was whose presence Mr. Pull
man discerned in the working plans.

Seventh Day Adventists of Battle

received a special communication from
Mrs White, the “prophetess, that the
time for the apphcatuni of the parable

In the immense tabernacle great
crowds continue to assemble under the

this end all areexhorted to uncondition

which command them to pay tithes and
to abstain from all flesh meats, butter,

in the matter of paying tithes have been
repeatedly branded as thieves from the
