Equine Steaks a-Plenty in Germany---Cheaper Than Bovine

Have you ever wandered through
any of the German towns and seen
out side of some dingy little shops a
swinging sign with the picture of a
horse on it and the legend ‘Hier ist
Rossfleisch zu haben?”
Why a horse should be a cheaper
dish than a cow, and he is certainly
very much cheaper, is something of
a mystery -when one thinks of his
cost as a locomotive. And the Ger-
man hausfrau insists that good,
young horses as often end their ca-
reers prematurely in sausages as old
and weather stained nags. And not
only in sausages.
1t often happens—perhaps one can
safely say .it invariably happens—
that the woman who stands behind
the counter in one of these stores is
a well established hausfrau herself
and has intimate domestic acquaint-
ance with the choice cuts of horse
that she sells. - : r 3 :
It was in front of a little shop in
Wilhelm Platz’ in Koenigsberg, ‘way
ip northeast, near Russia, that an
‘American on his way down the crook-
ed street from the old schloss recent-
1y ‘noticed this same” hofse ‘sign just
below him—for the street is so steep
that what is below you one minute
is above you the next. Overcome
at last by what he considered a mor-
bid curiosity, though the word is un-
pleasant to use in connection with
what one eats, he ventured into the
shop. He had seen the sign all over
Germany, and since so many people
ate horse American tolerance sug-
gested that perhaps horse was good.
The usual German woman with the
familiar German generosity of out-
line came out from her bedroom be-
hind the shop and looked expectant-
ly at him. Around the store, on the
racks, hung haunches, rihs, legs and
sides of dark red meat, while wooden
dishes of finely chopped hamburger
horse lay on the counters.
“Will vou kindly tell me how
much horse is a pound ?”’ asked the
intruder, trying not to breathe. Un-
fortunately for his efforts to sympa-
thize with horse dinners, the place
smelt like a morgue.
“Twenty pfennig,” she answered.
A rapid passage at mental arith-
metic brought the amount to five
cents American. And, say the horse
weighs eight hundred pounds, he
would bring less than $40 as a dish!
Who could buy him for that to ride
on in the park? Relying on the Ger-
man good nature and remembering
that everyone about him seemed to
have plenty of time, he explained
that he was an American and wished
he knew something about how horses
were eaten.
Never Eaten a Horse!
“I have never eaten one,” he re-
marked with a deprecating smile.
“How long since you are in Ger-
many?’ she asked stolidly.
“Oh, about a year,” he smiled.
“Then perhaps often you have eat-
en one,” she reassured him.
As he looked at the blackening
meat and smelt the perfume of the
horse, he shuddered.
“How?” he asked, quietly.
“There are many sausages,” she
responded. ‘But if you have been
only to good restaurants you have
not got them. And if you keep house
you must know when you buy horse
meat because outside the store al-
ways must be the sign ahout-it. It
is required.”
The horse is naturally not an un-
appetizing beast, and the shops in
Berlin where you can buy a pound
of him to take home in a paper bag
are quite exquisite. And there are
other aspects of this question of horse
meat in Germany. That it is killed
under government supervision and
at the immaculate abattoirs outside
the city limits, and that it is good
fresh horgse—all this is much to its
advantage as healthful eating. In
some of the stores, like the little one
in Koenigsberg, perhaps they keep
him too long; but that is not really
his fault. It even happens with cows
sometimes.
And very truly it should be as
tasty a dish as any other of what
Bernard Shaw calls ‘‘the dead an-
imals which we serve at our civilized
tables.”
There is a certain amount of dig-
nity acquired by cooked horse which,
for instance, “hot dog’ has not at-
tained to in America. It is just pos-
sible in this connection that the Ger-
mans would take more seriously and
approvingly the combination as a
business of ‘‘Delicatessen and Fur-
rier” than we would. So many of
the Germans eat horse with relish,
not only the very poor but the work-
ing people, socalled, that they feel
no hesitation in talking about it. The
woman who lives in a simple little
house in the country or town, Or in
one of the poor but outwardly clean
Hats in Berlin is quite willing to tell
you a few good recipes for fried top
of the horse haunch or tasty roast
horse flank. You do not have to
speak very much German to interest
a woman who lives away off in the
country in one of those squat, sharp
roofed houses. She is not afraid to
have you come up to her as she stands
knitting at the door. She labors in
the fields herself and, being as strong
as a tree, is afraid of nothing.
One of these women whose little
log house clings to a slant mountain
kide led the stranger right into her
kitchen. Though a long breath of
that keen mountain air brings the
@ppetite to an edge, one does not dare
$4400
in those regions to say he is hungry
enough to eat a horse unless he
means it. “You would see some
horse cocking?” she flung over her
shoulder in her burring, parrot-
toned voice. “Eating time is here
already. You can sit by the stove
and watch to see about the horse.”
A Chestnut Tenderloin.
She went at the business of cook-
ing, paying no more attention to him
than if he were one of the accus-
tomed children who used to play
about and long for the coming meal.
The clip-clop of her heelless, wooden
soled shoes, as she went from stove
to cupboard and back, was almost
the only sound. The mountain still-
ness from outside had long since
come into the house.
In the steep rising ground across
a foreshortened garden at the back
of the hut was dug a cave, secured
in its open face by iron. clamped.
wooden doors. A trip to this and a
momentary. disappearance into « its
cold shadows produced a flank of
dark red meat. This weighty thing
séemed no burden to the broad back
as she. trudged across the garden and
through the low door. She cut off a
strip. of meat ‘in shape like a ‘pork
tenderloin, only it was much larger,
and this she sprinkled thickly with
the coarse German salt and put into
the oven. Er 2 :
“So!” she muttered at last, breake
ing the long silence. “It will soon
be ready, and will taste the very
same as beef. A nice thing to eat
with it is schotten puree. You know
what that is? Mashed up peas and
herbs.” ”
The fumes of the roast were pleas-
ant. A stranger coming-upon the
scene from that time on would never
have suspected the presence of an
unusual animal in the oven.
And no doubt this is so.
Is there a question raised as to
whether this meat is good for one?
They say that the complexion is the
barometer for the stomach. And if
this is not yet an exploded theory,
then horse must be a tonic. Never
did skin and cheeks flare a brighter
promise from within than they do
among the poorer Germans. Maybe
the thin, cool air has something to
do with it. . But horse does not pro-
duce ill effects, certainly.
And the police would positively not
allow it if it did. It is very strictly
against the rules in Germany for a
person to permit himself to be in-
jured in any way. A striking exam-
ple of this is shown by the law which
states that if you are run over by a
vehicle in the streets of a city you
are fined six marks by the police.
If any one unfamiliar with Ger-
many and German ways should find
in this thought of horse meat a dis-
comfort which will make him afraid
to travel in Germany, let him be en-
couraged not to worry. So unob-
trusive is the meek horse—as meek
in the pot as in the stall—that the
traveler will very likely never so
much as hear about the question and
will quite certainly never eat any of
the meat unawares.—New York Tri-
bune.

xz The Naughty Prince.
An amusing story is being told in
the Danish newspapers concerning
little Prince Knud, son of the Crown
Prince. Recently a dispute arose be-
tween his nurse and himself as to
whether he should or should not take
a bath. The argument culminated
in a sponge being thrown in the
nurse’s face and the royal mamma
being sent for in hot haste. She de-
cided that Knud was in the wrong
and sent him himself to fetch the
cane with which she must beat him.
He departed, and after some time
came back again. “I can’t find the
stick,” he explained politely, “but
here are two stones that you can
throw at me.”

WEEKLY TRADE SUMMARY AE

New York.—“Bradsteets” says:
“Retail and holiday trade are more
in evidence this week, and- as these
have expanded, business in -regular
wholesale and jobbing lines has quiet:

approach of the close of the year have
helped to stimulate final distribution,
but it is noted that both regular re-
tail trade and the usual Christmas
shopping demand have not yet fully
met expectations at many points, and
particularly in the South, where low-
priced cotton is a retarding feature.
Best reports as to trade come from
the Southwest and the spring ‘wheat
and Pacific Northwest. In wholesale
and jobbing, except where the latter
trades are engaged in quick ship-
ments to meet current needs, there
is a disposition to go slower, pending
a clearer view of year-end distribu-
tion and the taking of inventories.

The Soul and What It Is.
That the soul of man is an aggrega-
tion of psychomeres inhabiting the
celis-of-the human body and probably
weighing about “one-thousandths part
of the body’s weight is the conspicu-
ous proposition in a theéry enunciat-
ed in a lecture in London by Fournier
d’Albe, secretary of the Dublin So
ciety of Psychical Research. He held
out the hope that it would be possi-
ble some day to see psychomeres, be-
cause, he said, they are probably
opaque to ultra-violet light and there-
fore may be made visible by more
powerful optical means than the
world yet possesses. Then they will
be weighed and measured.
After death, Mr. d’Albe said, the
psychomeres unite and form the soul
body suited to the environment of
the earth’s atmosphere, in which it
floats. These bcdies have conscious-
ness and power of locomotion, the lat-
ter being probabaly derived from the
ultra-violet rays of the sun. The soul
body lives. cheaply, subsisting on the
sun’s rays, and as these are easily
assimilable no digestive apparatus is
required. . So the soul body: is stom-
achless and knows nothing of the
struggle “for - existence. - .
To balafite this, however, it retains,
according to d’Albe, the higher, qual-
ity -of- competition -in mutual gervice,
2nd nerds the time in cultivating the
hikhier virtues. The soul body is
anywhere .between..the surface of the
earth and some circumscribing. limit,
vaguely, specified. as” 200. miles above
it. This space is the soul realm.

The Ingenuity cf Inventors.
The ingenuity of inventors and
manufacturers is ever at work in the
endeavor to reduce the expense of
production, and at the same time to
improve the quality of articles having
a large sale. This is not only benefi-
cial to the purchasing public, but it
fnures to the benefit of the producer
in increasing sales and preventing
competition. This has been so in the
case of farm machinery, clothing,
shoes, bicycles, ete., and now fit is ap-
parent in the safety razor field. Thou-
sands of this style of razor have been
sold at from $1.50 to $5 each and giv-
en satisfaction. Recently manufac-
turers have applied more scientific
principles and improved methods in
their manufacture, and the result is
seen in the ‘“‘Shrp Shavr” razor, which
is sent postpaid for twenty-five cents
in stamps by the Book Publishing
House, 134 Leonard street, New
York. It is superior to any razor
sold, being bought largely by those
already owning the highest priced
razors. Not every one knows that
the best results are obtained by hav-
ing two or three razors and alternat-
ing them in use. This practice of al-
ternating possibly accounts for the
very large sale of this low priced im-
plement.

Wagner's Song to Be Published.
That Richard Wagner w.ote and

believed by devout Wagnerites in
America. Yet a humorous ditty by
the author of “Siegfried” and the

cated to Ludwig Kraft, proprietor of

INVALID'S SAD PLIGHT.
After Inflammatory Rheumatism,
Hair Came Out, Skin Peeled, and |
Bed Sores Developed — Only
Outicura Proved Successful. ?
“ About four years ago I had a very se
vere attack of inflammatory raeumatism.
My skin peeled, and the high fever played
havoc with my hair, which came out in
bunches. I also had three large bed sores
on my back, I did not gain very rapidly,
and my appetite was very poor. 1 tried
many ‘sure cures’ but they were of little
help, and until I tried Cuticura Resolvent
I:had had no real relief. Then my come
plexion cleared and soon I felt better. The
bed sores went very soon after a few app i
cations of Cuticura Ointment, and when I
ubed Cuticura Soap and Ointment for my,
hiir, it began to regain its former glog
appearance. Mrs. Lavina J. Hendervony:

The Rabbit Was Stuffed.
Paul Badorf of Lititz, is a practical
joker as well as a hunter of local re-
nown. He shot a rabbit last Satur-
day, and after carefully skinning the
animal he set up the skin in a life
like position in a field near the War-
wick house. Several gunning enthu-
siasts were acquainted with the fact
that a rabbit was there, and one of
those so informed took gun and dog
and went after it. The gunner watch-
ed and finally saw the. pseudo animal.
He blazed away and for awhile the
air was filled with rabbit skin, cotton
bagging and bad language.—Philadel-
phia Record.
