HOKSE MEAT IN GERMANY.
Reasons Why Its Consumption. Has
Lnrgely Increased.
From tho New York Run.
An incicased consumption of hoisc
inent Is ronorted In Herman cities ns
a result of the scnioltv of beef and'ptlsonei declined to make any state-
mutton There still ovists in the sm u- ' ment, but acknowledged having corn
ier cities of the emplie a prejudice milled the assault and intimated that
oenlust hoise meat, and the consump-
linn Is not as gion't in pioportlon as
In the linger places, but It is steadily '
grow lug
The consumers of hoio meat In Ger
many me exclusively the pooler tlass
se but th"v- comprise nine-tenths of
the population and thuie is thcrefoie
a w Ido lipid for this food Most Ger
man earn fiom to cent to $1 a daj,
and ale wholly unable to supply their
families with tho aine quality of meat
that the Amei lean workman consumes,
lieet Is liom l"i to 30 cents a pound,
and mutton and othei meats are cor
ttspoudlngly high Until pcontly plen
l of horse meat has been piocuiabl"
at 7 cents a pound, nnd it is still sold
foi about half the in lee of other meats.
The Ueiman w 01 Kingman must keep
up his. boililv sttength, even If his food
Is ot a eoaiser natuie, and this is the
icason wh ehoan linise meat, intui
tive as It Is, has gradually gained
ground In hplte of tho prejudice against
it, until tho consumption In the larger
cities is almost as gieat us that of beef
or mutton.

CITY OF CATORCE.
Ono of the Roughest and Most Pic
turesque Places in Mexico.
Pioin Modern Mexico.
Eight miles due east, ovi'r the moun
tains from Catoi co station, on the
Mexican Xatlonal lailioad, is the city
of that name, a city along whose steep,
winding streets neither wagon nor cart,
neither stage nor 'bus, nor nny other
wheeled vehicle was evei known to
pass, although it has often boasted of
a population of 40,000 souls. Tho city
takes Its name from onco being the
stionghold and tho piopeity of a band
of fourteen of tho most daring, des
pei ate, dangeious and successful rob
bers that ever laid tribute on toads of
Mexico. They discovered, and for manv
jeais wotked, the ileh deposits of sil
ver that abound in this entile section
of tho countiy deposits, tho value of
which, if cunent report be ttue, for
hundreds of yeais outiivaled the mvtu
Ical ilclies related of Ophlr. Strange to
relate, every piece of machinery, eveiy
pound of f 1 eight, and every passenger
to nnd from Catorce, Is transported to
day, as for centuries past, either on the
backs of men or mules Catorce is one
of the raopt interesting places in Mex
ico. Here are found the customs of
Mexico in their puilty, unaffected by
tho intluenco of the stiangei. Difficult
of access, tho town can onb bo reached
by horseback or on foot. Catoice has
reldoni been visited by any except those
making business trips. Tho tide up the
mountains into thu town Is something,
once accomplished, alvvajs to be le
mombeied, partly lrom Its element of
personal peill but moro because of tho
beauty of the landscape encounetied at
every turn Glancing down, as you
near your journey's end, you catch a
