HIPPOPHAGY.
Surprising Progress in the Con¬
sumption of Horse Meat.
Equine Flesh Eaton by People
In Many European Cities.
Contrary to what is commonly sup¬
posed, a very respectable nuiujorof
French men and women have for a
long timo been eating a large quantity
of horse meat, because this food agreos
with their stomach as well as their
purse.
In onr day, consumers of solipods
have so increased that in many places,
it unpctirs, horse moat is sold at u
much higher price than it was fifteen
or twenty years ago, without, how¬
ever, having reached such a (igttro as
iu Denmark for a few years pint, nnd
recently in Genu iity. In Franco, hip-
poplingy, while rein tilting wit bin
reach of modest purses, lias made stir-
prising progress, in several localities
ordinal y butchery lias been seriously
affected by the competition of this new
trade. For example, at Toulouse, the
city of France in which the - largest
number of horses are consumed pro¬
portionally to tho number of inhabi¬
tants, tho b tlchcry syndicate has
formed itself into a sort of committee
agaiu-t the sale of horse moat.
At l’ari«, the first horse butchery
was opened oil the 9llt of July, I860.
The number of so.ipcds slaughtered
from that epoch up to tho list of De¬
cember of the same year xvas only 91)2.
It rose to 2768 in 18ti9, to 06,000 dur¬
ing thu siege ami the commune, to
6732 in 1872, and to 10,019 in 1877.
The horse butcheries iitiinoered 48 on
the 1st of January, 1874, and 132 on
the 1st of January, 1889. At present,
the price of horse meat is nonrly half
that of beef for corresponding cut<.
Thus a fillet of beef is sold at 2 1-2
francs per 600 grammes, and a fillet
of horse meat at 1 1-4 franc*. The
inferior cuts, which aro from 40 to 00
centimes for hoof, aro from 20 to 30
for thoso of horse meat. Tin solipods
seized after being slaughtered, ns unlit
for consumption, numbered 3681 from
1808 to 1884, that is to say for 201,-
637 cotisumod in 17 years; 304 in
1886 for 18,436 consumed; and 216
in 1887 for 10,440 consumed.
At Lyons, Bordeaux, Orleans, nnd
Troyes and otlior cilios the output of
the horse btilchcrios is enormous.
According to Professor Thotnnsscn,
of tho Veterinary School of Utrecht,
tiippoplmgy is in groat favor at Rot¬
terdam. Horse incut is used there as
human food to an extent that is un¬
known in Denmark, Sweden nnd
Switzerland, ns well ns lit several
parts of Italy, such as Lombardy,
Piedmont, Vcnotia, otc.
It is extensively used iu Milan,
while it is scornod iu Turin. In tho
latter cty, only 66 horses were slaugh¬
tered at the abattoir in 1888. The
flesh of all of these animals was used
exclusively for feeding (lie animals of
a menagerie. Mr. Manuel Prieto re¬
grets that hippophagy is not adopted
in fspaiu, whore it would benefit
numerous poor laborers, lo whom or¬
dinary meat is an article of luxury on
account of its high price.

About Bridges.
Coalbrookdnle Bridge, England, is
tho first cast-iron bridgo ever built.
It was constructed in 1779.
The Bridgo of tho Holy Trinity,
Florence, Italy, was built in 1659. It
is 322 fuct long, of white marble, and
is even now reckoned as being w ith¬
out a rival as a specimen of tho bridge¬
building art.
Tho covered bridge at Pavia,
the Ticino, was built ns early as
fourteenth century. A.though a
a thousand years old, it is in a
»tate of preservation. The roof is
held in place by 100 gigantic granite
columns.
Tho great cantilever bridgo
Niagara Fall* is entirely composed
steel. It is 810 feet in length, weighs
3000 tons, and cost $900,000.
The Rialto Bridge, Venice, is said
to hsvo been built from designs fur¬
nished by Michael Angulo. It is
single marble arch of 98 1-2 feet.
The bridge at Burton, over the
Trent, was formerly tho longest
bridge iu England, 1545 fcot.
The now bridge ovor tho Tay
Dundee, Scotland, is seventy-seven
feet above the water, lias
piers, and is over two miles long.
Tito longest bridge in America is a
trestle-work over n portion of Lake
Ponchartraiu, Louisiana, it is nearly
twenty-five miles long.
Tito largest and longest stone bridge
iu the world is over an arm of the
China 8ca. Five miles long, 300
arches, each seventy feel high.— [St.

1.IVK FUSTS OK LOCUST.
Whenever a farm fence lias n. de¬
cided permanent location, and where
wire is (lie material to he used, it will
pay well to set useful trcos along the
lino to which tho wires may bo
stapled—a strip of hoard intervening
—after the first light posts or stakes
begin to give way. Aud, for titis
purpose, a good erect-growing strain
of iho yellow locust tree, as nearly
thornless us can bo had, is certainly
first choice for usefulness and adapta¬
tion. Its shade injures nothing—
grass grows well up to t lie base of it;
its small leaves smother no blade*,
and it carries its growth well aloft;
and tho stem does not dry up in sum¬
mer heat or iu winter winds
when trimmed high—the top
grows just m we!)—is just
as well supplied. Locust wood ex¬
cels in durability for sills, posts and
similar uses and makes strong, endur¬
ing tires. As to soil it is not at all
particular. The borer that nttaeks it
seems lo succumb to some enemy of it
iu two or three years after its advent.

DEFORMING THE HOUSE’S HOOF.
The sole oj^he horso’s hoof is se¬
creted by tho velvety tissue dcpenel-
ent from the membrane which invests
the podal b >no, 1 lie minute, hollow,
fibrous processes of which potto!rato
it and minister to its support, lit tho
mutilated, shrunken sole these deli¬
cate tlbros aro pinched in tho lessoned
caliber of the pores; the source of
supply is cut oil’, and tho process of
repair retarded if not absolutely ar¬
rested. There seoms to bo a fascina¬
tion about litis work of destruction,
and tho incompetent workman next
addresses himself to tho self-imposed
task of improving upon nature hv
removing tho bars nnd what he calls,
on tho Ittsus a non lucondo principle,
“oponing” the heels, a process which
in plain language moans opening a
road for litem to close over.
On this poor, maimed fuot a shoo,
ofion many sizes ton small, is tacked,
amt tho rasp is most likely called into
requisition to reduce the foot to tit the
tdioe; for although it is apparently of
littlo moment whether the shoe fits the
foot, it is indispensably necessary that
the foot should somehow or other he
got to tit tho shoo, and horseshoeing,
liko other arts, must needs sacrifice on
tho altar of appoaranoes. Jt is sail that
art and nature should so often be nt
variance nnd that wh it satisfies the one
should outrage the demuuds of the
other.
Tho foot is now shod and protected
from undue wear, to ho sure, but a;
w’'nt a sacrifice! Robbed of ils

lateral braces removed; its sole
mangled and its natural repair ar¬
rested; tho hairliko fibres which make
up the horny wail crushed, deflected,
and their nutritive function impeded
by an unnecessary number of nails;
robbed by the rasp of its cortical
layer of natural varnish, which re¬
tain* tho moisture secreted by the
economy, the strong walls become
dessicuted and weakened, and the foot
is iu a very sorry plight indeed. To
some this picture may seem over¬
drawn, but it is nevertheless a matter
of daily occurrence. — [American

I'XKRI'ISK EUi: DAIRY COWS.
Ail animal lifts requires a certain
amount of exercise to keep in health
aud vigor of cotutitutlcfl, lo enable
tlioiu to parJ,'orm all the function* of
labor and productive re*ottrco* to a
profitable degree. A writer in tho
Michigan Farmer Hay* that there ii
considerable good-natured controversy
in the agricultural pre»* regarding tho
wisdom of turning cattle out-doors for
exercise versus the keeping of them in
warm, well-ventilated stable*, with
plenty of grooming or currying. Kacli
side is well represented, uud extremes
aro reached, ouo writer claiming that
you “mako prisoners of your cows at
your peril;” another equally positivo
and thoroughly believing iu the
grounds of his opinion, ihinks that
•‘turn your cows out at your peril,”
should he the motto of every herds¬
man.
While we fully appreciate nnd
recognize the humanitarian principle
in the treatment of our cows, wo con¬
sider them ns so many milk machines
to ho worked to I hoi r fullest capacity,
with duo regard for wear and tear
and profitable returns. In order to do
this an account is kept of what goes
into the “machine,” an accurate record
of each milking of every cow every
tiny is carefully kept, and as far as
we are able, every iutliience in tho
production of our milk is carefully
noted. Turn the cows out every day
that is not loo inclement, leaving them
out onlv so long as they are busy
walking about or rubbing themselves.
We believe wo obtuin as results re¬
newed vigor, increased appetite aud
larger milk returns.
Our cows arc warmly housed, thor¬
oughly curried and cleaned every day,

ly within their reach; yet after being
confined to their stable for three or
four days by unfavorable weather,
(hey will play like calves when let out,
will rub themselves against trees and
posts with manifest enjoyment, and
with but one exception during the
winter, every time let out has resulted
in improved appetite and increase in
the yield of milk, amounting at times
to thirty -eight pounds for twenty-two
cows in December and January, and
sixty pounds for thirty-eight cows it)
February and Match.
After four months’ observation my
plan would be to turn the cows out
over)' daj' that is at all favorable,
watching them as ciosely in their en¬
joyment of outdoors and exercise as
we do their appetite for feed, and ns
in (ho latter a little short of enough is
heller than an over food, in tho former
getting them out doors a little before
they are quite ready to come is better
than lonving thorn out till they feel the

Virtues of Pumice Stone.
Pumice stone is the best tiling in
tho world to Lko tho stain off one’s
hands. When ink or any other stain
gets on tho fingers its removal is
sometimes a matter of many days, but
with a bit of pumice it may be .ubbod
off in a moment, and no ono would
over know that it had ever boon there.
To bo sure tho rubbing must be pretty
hard, and there is danger, of course,
of rubbing oil a little more cuticle
than ono can conveniently spare, but
if this point is watched the toilot table
has no more valuable accessory.

wood. From their convenience this
seems probable. Such boards were used

easily written upon than tho bare wood.
Where wax was used errors were readily
erased the by rubbing with the blunt end of

Miss C. G. McClavE, School¬
Y. teacher, 753 Park Place, Elmira, N.
"This Spring while away from
home teaching my first term in a
country wretched School I human was perfectly
with that agony
called dyspepsia. After dieting for
two weeks and getting no better, a
friend wrote me, suggesting that I
take August Elower. The very next
day I purchased a bottle. I am de¬
lighted to say that August Flower
helped me so that I have quite re¬
covered from my indisposition." ©
