TJ110PE is eating mil

pounds of horse meat
every year. Last year
in Paris alone some
thing like 25,000 horses
wore killed to 6upply
the demand, and Vi

norso sieans aim i uasit.
This city of Berlin is,
I am told, eating every
day more than 30.000
pounds of horso flesh,
and callous of horse-
meat soup is flowing down the German throats
of some of the poorer classes of this great capi
tal as I write. I havo speut several days this
week iu moving about among the horse butcher
shops, and 1 visited this afternoon the Berlin
iiorso sliiugliter-liouse 'where all of the 10,000
liorses eaten here every year are killed.
This curious establishment is situated not
Terr far from the center of the city, and when
I arrived at its doors I found myself confronted
with a big sigu which stated that strangers
could not, bo admitted to it I rapped on the
gate with my stick, and by tbe aid of the clerk
of our Cousnl-General at Berlin and a little
silver I found that jt opened quite easily. I
entered aud found myself in a big barnyard,
Eurrouuded by low stables and fenced in at one
side with a long one-story building of red brick.
At the right of the gate as we went in stood a
group of the butchers, their shirt sleeves rolled
tip above their elbows, and their brawny arms
covered with blood. Each butcher wore an
apron of leather, which was one mass of clotted
blood, and below their blood-spattered panta
loons were heelless slippers which were painted
a dark red with the dried blood upon them.
One of these murderous-looking men acted as
our guide, and we went with him to the
slaughter-house.

We first entered a long, low room, on the floor
of -which iayasplcudid bay horse which had
just been killed, and from tho rafters of which
hung a score of carcasses of the horses which
with his legs quivering and trembling all over.
Then an apron of leather a foot square was
hung over his oyes. leaving his forehead bare.
Now one of tho men pulled his handsome head
down, then one of these bloody-armed butchers
raised asledge, tho iron hammer of which was
as big around as your wrist, and with this he
struck tho horso full in tho forehead. Thero
was a crash, and the hammer sank into tho
brain of the horse, and almost simultaneously
with tho sound tho boast dropped to the floor.
Tho red blood poured from his nostrils; his fine
eyes shono pitoously with pain for a second and
thou tho light wont out of them and ho was
dead. .Now a second butcher stabbed tho
horse's throat and drove the knife down into
his heart, and tho blood came forth in great
spnrts, and as it foil it was caught in these big,
low, square drying-paus and carried oiT to the
dryhouso.
Each horso furnishes about four gallons of
blood, and tho last of this was churned out of
tho horse's carcass by tho butcher jumping up
and down upon it with his feet. As soon as tho
blood was out of the horso it was turned upon
its back, and the dressing from this time on
until it was ready for salo to the retail butch
ers was much the same as tho preparation of a
beef after killing for tho American market.
There are less than a hundred butcher shops

had been slaughtered that morning. They hung
like beeves, with their heads downward, sus
pended from the rafters by their hind lens, and
from the necks of some of them the blood still
dripped down upon the concrete floor and ran
into a hole covered by a grating toward which
the floor sloped.
On the side of the door as wo went in I saw
a great pile of horses' hoofs, with tho iron shoes
Btill on them, and iu another part of the room
were piles of horses' skins still steaming, and
bags of horses' tails which had been cut off and
laid away for sale. Upon the skinned animals
which hung from the rafters I saw a round blue
stamp in many places, and the butcher told me
that this was the mark which had been put on
them by the doctor who had inspected them,
and that without this stamp the meat could not
be sold. Every cut that goes into the market
has to have this stamp, and one of the finest
animals hanging in the room I found had been
condemned by the doctors as unhealthy, and
.though I could see no difference in it from any
of the others it was not to be sold, and it was
for tbe manure pile and not the dinner-table.
This room was, 1 judge, at least 100 feet long,
and it vras filled with carcasses.
Have you ever Eeea a piece of horse meat?
It looks for all the world like venison, and it is
redder than iecf,and tastes much like venison.
The horses I saw to-day were generally fat,
and I am told that the Germans sometimes fat
ten up their horses prior to bringing them to
the bufehers. A fat horse will bring a higher
J)rice than a lean one, and this butcher shop
betters the condition of the old horses of Berlin.
Before it was established men worked their
horses to death, and an old plug was fed as
little as possible and was worked till he
dropped. Nowjt pays to keep them in bettor
Condition, and when they get too old to work
they are brought here. Lame and unsound
horses are often brought as soon as they become
injured, and many of the horses killed are
young and fat. They bring all the way from
$10 to $30 apiece, and thi6 sl&ughtcr-house buys
them, and sells them after they are killed to the
retail butchers.
Every part of tho horse is utilized. Tho
Bkius bring about$3 apiece, and are tanned for
leather. They make the finest of shoolcather,
I am told, and much of the leather sold as por
poise hide is in reality horse hide. The tail is
sold with tho hide, hut tho mano and fetlocks
aro cut off and sold as hair for25 cents a pound,
and the bones go to the fertilizing establish
ment, and tho waste boues of each horse brings
50 cents.
Every drop of the blood is saved. I visited a
Wood-drying room, where thero were hundreds
of pans of blood standing on the shelves of an
evaporator, much like that used for the drying
of fruit in the United Plates. Our bloody guide
told us that a large part of the blood was used
for the making of buttons, and that the albu
men in it was taken out and 6old for use iu tho
making of photographs. Tho rest goes for tho
making of lime and for manure, and even tho
hoofs of the horses are of value. Their shoes
are taken off, barreled up, and shipned out to
China, where they bring a big price, and where
they are used, among other things, for tho
making of razors, and many a Chineso head is
shaved with the same metal that once protected
German horse's hoof.
in Berlin which sell nothing but horse meat,
while there aro at least 200 in Paris. The law
provides that such shops hore must bo known
as horso butcheries, and thoy advertise their
horse meat, so there is little danger of your
eating horse meat here without knowing it.
I visited one of these shop3 yesterday. The
sign "Bos3 Schlatere" is over tho door, and
the shop itself is like many of the butcher
shops of Berlin in a cellar. Imagine a room
about 12 feet square, with a low white ceiling
and white walls. Across tho front of it, near
tho door, there is a counter of wood, and on this
lies steaks and roasts of dark-red meat Thoy
look like" beef, but they are far redder, and
whero the cut has been exposed to the air for
some time the meat is almost black. From tho
-walls hang horses' sides half cut up, and from
the ceiling aresuspeuded on hooks horses' hams
smoked aud dried.
At one sido thero is a long string of littlo
horse sausages, as black as ink and speckled
with bits of white fat. Thoy are put up in
skins of about the diameter of the ordinary
pork sausage and of tho shape and length of a
horseshoe. Each weighs a pound, and tho
bare-armed butcher behind the counter tells
me they are worth 12 cents a pound. 1 inquire
the prices of other kinds of meats, aud ho tells
me I cau have a line cut from tho loin for 30
pfennigs, or six cents, and that I cau havo a
hashed-up Hamburg steak for fivo cents. On
tho counter lies a plate of yellow horse fat. and
I ask what this is good for, when the man's
wife, whose cheeks aro fut aud rosy on a diet of
horse meat, tells mo it is used by the poorer
classes for cooking butter; that it is as good as
goose grease forsick children, and that if spread
over your person-will make you fat and strong.
She tells mo she sells horse oil in bottles for
the rheumatism. She shows mo her children,
who are ravcuously devout ing big plates of
While I waspreseut the men took a splendid
lioree from the stable and led him out to be
killed. He was a magnificent black carriage
hoise, with a neck which showed good blood,
and he was not, 1 judge, more thau six years
old. He had slipped aud fallen a few days be
fore, and had sprained his leg, so that he was
Jsmieforlife. He had tho kind, soft, beautiful
eyes of a good horse, and it sickened me to
thiuk of liis death. It was affecting to see
him as the butchers look liim and dragged him
on hii three legsacrosa the yard, aud it seemed
like a sacrilege when one of them stopped him
before the door of the killiug-ruom and clipped
with a pair of sheep-shears his mane and fore
ock eis3 to the skin. It was more like mur
ler thau anything else wheu he was dragged
m into the stable of -death and killed.

on the floor, and his sensitive nostrils quiv

horse-bone soup in the next room and look as
fat and healthy as any children 1 have ever
seen Taised on beef. In company with her I
walk over her little collar tcnemeut of six
suiail rooms, three of which arc devoted to tho
butchery and to tho cookinc of the horso moat
in one shape or another, and she tells me that
tho meat is good aud that her customers for it
are regular ones.
The restaurants at which horse meat are sold
are frequented entirely by the poorer classes.
They aro like all of the average low-class res
taurants in Berlin, and you get a fair quantity
of vegetables with the average horse meat or
der, aud as a rule the cooking is fair for the
price. Such meat as I sampled looked aud
tasted much liko vension, and as I don't liko
venison I can't say that I doto on horse. Still,
under a French chef horse moat would not bo
at all had.
A dinner was given hore not long ago, at which
tho elite of Berlin were present, whero nothing
else than horso in ouo shape or another was
served. More than 150 pcoplo sat down to the
table, and among tho articles on tho bill of faro
were horso roast, horso ham, and filet of horso
with salad. Thoso were washed down with
champagne, aud tho dinner was devoted to the
raising of horso meat in tho oyes of "the Gor
man people.
Speaking of the cooking of horso flesh I
bought a cook book at ouo of tho butcher shops,
which was entirely devoted to horso meat, and
which gives all sorts of recipes for cooking and
serving it. There is ono which tells how to
roast horse a la Cologne; ono which lias tho
xecipo of Dr. Karl Buss for making roast iilot
of horse, or "wuorhobraten," nnd a third which
gives directions for making a roast filetof horso
a la Geoffroy Saint-IIilaire. Somo of the
-recipes are quite interesting, and I translato
one for the serving of horse's brain in a way
that is said to bo truly delicious.
You put tho horse's brains, nicely clcanod, in
cold water, aud scasou them with salt, allspice,
and vinegar. Cook them half an hour; after
that cool them and put them ou a clean napkin
and let them dry. Now cut them up in slices
and flavor them with salt and pepper to taste.
Thon paruish them with eggs aud cracker
meal, and fry them in butter until thoy are of
a light-yellow-brown color. Horso epicures
tell me that this dish is excellent. Another
recipe is for mayonnaiso of brains. Iu this you
treat tho brains in tho same way, but you do
not fry them. You pour over tho dish French
vinegar aud olive-oil, and servo with mayon
naise, after garnishing the brains with allspice,
crabs' tails, capors,.aiid pickles.
Ail kinds of sausages arc imitated in Berlin
out of horse-flesh, and this recipe-book tells
how to cook horse-flesh so it will resemble all
kinds of beef and mutton, and tho probability
is that in Paris or Vienna, where tho laws aro
not so strict as they aro here, that a groat deal
of horse-flesh is eaten" under other names.

meat-
stalls are very clean'' aud tho counters in front
of them aro of'white marble. Every scrap of
meat is sold, aud the Gornmus mako soup and
sausage of cuts w'ifch in America go to the
dogs. The vogdtajMc market Is very large, and
on tho outsido'o"iblic market-houses you soo
littlo boys and gYrlspoddling all sorts of vege
tables, while within' tho stalls, presided over
by women, aro piled high with green stuff. '
It does not take much direction to find a
choose-markot.""iY6C havo only to follow your
noso aud to lot it follow the smell, and you
come to a hundred stalls in which nothing but
cheeso and buttor aro sold. The battor is often
wrapped up in cabbage-leaves, and tho cheese
is of ovory variety, from Swoitzor and Edam
to Limburger and Stilton. Tho Germans use
ehoese more as a moat than as a relish, and
with tho pooror classes it largely takes tho
place of meat.
Tho retail market trade begins at 6 a. m.,
and it lasts till noon; and there is auothor
market from 5 till 8 in tho evening. There is
a big wholesale vegetable and meat market
hore iu the morning beforo G, and a groat deal
of tho wholesalo marketing is done in tho
shape of auctions. Tho auctioneer will hold
up a side of beof and fix a price npon it, aud
will thou lot tho butchers bid against each
other for it. It must, however, bring the low
price which ho puts upon it. Hams and poul
try are sold in this same way, and ono of tho
liveliest auction sccnos in tho world is that
which takes place hore beforo daybreak ovory
Monday morning.
Tho Germans appreciate good things. In
those markets I find that fino grades of meat
and lino ve&ctahles bring good prices. Tho
Gorman cooking is almost equal to that of tho
Fronch, and you can get somo tilings bettor
horo than anywhere else in the world. Thero
is no finer asparagus to bo found anywhoro
than that in Germany, and tho poultry which
is served up in the German restaurants is of
excollent quality.
Frank G. Carpenter.
The German sanitary arrangements are ex
cellent. All tho killing of animals for the
market has to goon under the inspection of tho
Government, and no meat is imported that is
not passed upon by Govornmeut Inspectors.
Considerable alarm has becu felt here during
tho past Fall among the Consuls at somo of tho
American pork which was examined in Amer
ica, but was found not good on re-examination
here.
Tho truth is that wo have too fow Inspectors
in America for the amount of meat we ship to
Germany. Tho force should bo increased, and
nothing should be shipped hero but the very
best. It is the same with beef as with pork,
and Minister Phelps and Secretary Busk havo
dono more for American meats in Germany
than any other officials wo have had for years.
What tho United States should do now is to
hold to that which they havo gained aud to not
let it slip from us by carelessness.
I visited the Berlin markets this morning.
The buildings containing them cover half a
dozen acres of ground. They aro roofed with
glass, and tho majority of the sellers of meat
and vegetables aro women. The portors aro
women, and I saw gray-haired dames of GO car
rying great baskets of meat and vegetables on
their hacks, and these baskets were hold thero
by straps which wont around tho shoulders,
and some of thorn woighod from 50 to 100
pounds. They contained the snj p ies of pur

You married her, and then and thero
My heart was gripped by grim despnir.
For I hud sought her for my bride.
But truth sho my o.vn hope denied
Would not with me life'd journey share,
And then you cnnio with courtly air
To woo nnd win this maiden fair;
She answered "yes" when you npplied
You married her.
I live next you and am nwnre
Liko all tho neighbors two the square
That to a scolding wife you're tied.
Whoso tongue knows neither check nor guide;
And so to-night I'm glad, Idivear,
You married her.

NO. 6S5 DECAPITATION.
They told me she was fickle nnd na false asshe wns
fair.
That the lives she'd wrecked werecount!e3s as hor
threads of golden hair;
They told me I would rue the day, the bitter day
wc met,
That Love would flee aud Hate come in till I would
enrse her yet.
They told inc. Ah, nnd I believed! Oh, God! I
felt thy wrath,
The curse cnnio home a thousandfold, a bitter
aftermath.
Wo went our ways. I wandered far, a nomad of
the oartli ;
I learned the selfishness of men, the littleness of
worth.
We met again in Memphis town, 'mid wild and
fixe alarms.
Where Death sat on tho primal lops nnd cradled
in his arms
Tho stricken city's wasted form, a burden gaunt
and am.,
Its drapery the winding-sheet, its cradle-cloth the
pall.
Wc metagain ! All! strange tho lime and stranger
yet tho fate;
The yellow death was at my throat, his clutch was
stern ns hate.
She brought me back to lifo nnd light, the conquer
ed demon fled.
But, oh ! Thou God ! he enme again, with deadly,
silent tread.
I woke to life to kiss her once ; the seal was on hor
brow,
"I have been true, oh! love, good-by! God'a will
ho done. I bow ''
She slept the sleep. What curse was mine, what
blight was ou my heart;
She had been true. I had been fulsc. Wo mot, ah!

Many Subscribers. A great many of our subscrib
ers write u-t in reference, to the Cherokee S up,
ami the time of its opening up for settlement. One
correspondent writes: " Will yon please tell me
if the Cherokee Strip will come into the m.irket
this Spring, and will it he a good sue to make n
home?" -ilnsicer. Every honorably discharged
soldier who.erved in the late wnruf the rebellion,
who'hns not already exhausted his privileges under
the homestead law and obtained title to 150 acres
of land, will have a char.ee to secure a homestend
iu the Cherokee Strip. The special privileges of
an honorably-discharged soldier are, viz.: 1-t.
That he can file his declaratory statement by an
iigenl nud then have six mouths within which to
move upon the land, mnke his ontry. nnd comply
with tho law. If the soldier should elect to do
this, he should be careful to select an honest nud
reliable agent, for the filing of this paper exhausts
his rights under the homestead law. It is best iu
nil cases to be present in person nnd at once enter
upon the land. 2d. He is entitled to have hi term
of service in the army, or if discharged by reason
of wounds, his term of enlistment, not exceeding
in nny case a period of four years, deducted from
the five years of residence nud cultivation required
by law. but iu nil cases ait actual, bona
fide residence of one year is required. The
Cherokee Strip is snid to bo a well-watered
country, with a very fertile nnd fruitful soil. It
promises to be settled up with a ru-h, and alto
gether it is said to bean excellent nud desirable
plncc, considered as n new country for those seek
ing homes there. We cannot any when it will bo
opened up to settlement. Tiie matter is now pend
ing in Congress, nud important initiative action has
already been taken. We suggest that our corre
spondents keep track of the matter by rending the
notices, which nre sure to be published broadcast
iu every newspaper iu the country, us they appear
the best and only means of keeping themselves
well informed.
J. S. (A. irnmbnrg, loica. 1. I received a letter
from the I'entton Bureau, stating that I was draw
ing n pcusi6ii under the new law. mi I my old-law
claim could not be tukeu up without injustice to
other claimants who are not iu receipt of n pension.
I sec in your issue of Dec. 22 that there is nothing
in either law which conflicts or interferes with the
other. Which is wrong, the Pctihiou Bureau or
Tun X.vnoxAit Tiukuse? 2. How ninny claims
are there on the "finishing'" files? 3. What nre
the duties of the- First Deputy Commissioner?
1. About how long before claims come in their
regular turn? Answer. 1. Neither is wrong. The
statement of the Pension Bureau does not conflict
with our statement. The old-law claim is simply
laid aside, to come up again when nil the new-law
claims shall have been disposed of. It is thought
by the Pension Bureau that those who aro drawing
a pension under the new law, and -who Imve old-
law claims pending, can batter tiffbrd to wait until
their less fortunate comrades, who are not iu re
ceipt of any pension, have been provided for.
When that time comes, all 'these old-law claim?,
which have been laid nside without prejudice, will
be taken up nud disposed of if they nre complete.
2. By "finishing" files we presume you menu
"complete file-." According to the niiuunl report
of the Commissioner of Pensions, there were, on
Oct. 12, IS'JJ. of all classes, 131,70(1 claims on the
completed files, including 75,767 elaims for increase.
3. He has charge of the Eastern anil Southern Ad
judicating Divisions, embracing claims arising
from enlistments in Alabama, Arkansas. Connecti
cut, Delaware. Florida. Georgia, Kentucky, Louisi
ana, Milium, IMas-achn-ietts. Maryland. Mississippi,
Missouri. New York. New Jersey, New Hampshire,
North Carolina, Rhode Islnnd, South Carolina,
Tcnnes-'ec. Texas, Vermont, Virginia. West Vir
ginia, the District of Columbia, and the 17. S.
Colored Troops. -1. Thai cannot be answered, be
cause no two claims arc alike.
THE BEST
Is the best Blood Medicine, becaaaa
it assists nature to throw off the ka
purities of the blood, and at thesasaa
time tones up tho entire organism. This is jns.
contrary to tho effect of the various potash, mer
atry, sarsaparilla mixtures, which bottlo up tb
impurities in the system, thus producing moeJt
sickness and suffering. Therefore, for a
BLOOD MEDICINE
you cannot do better than take S. S. S.
"As a physician, I have prescribed and used
S. S. S. in my practice as a tonic, and for blood
troubles, and havo been very successful. I never
used a remedy which gave such general satisfac
tion to myself and patients.

To Improve Cijiarets.
St. Louis Globe Democrat.
A splendid way to improve a poor eigarefc is
to fumigate it with sulphur. That may sound
fiticer, hut it is a fact, as I discovered accident
ally a few week3 ago. It is tho easiest thing in
tno world to do. Tnko any ordinary cigarct
and proparo to light it. Then take a sulphur
match and light it. While it is sputtering
draw tho fumes from it through the cigarot.
Thoy will barely reach your mouth, but the
effect on the cigarot will ho marvelous. That
biting sensation that sometimes accompanies a
good strong puff will bo entirely eliminated.
Tho cigaret will be mild and 3wcet. I drew
the sulphnr fume through my cigarot accident
ally, and thought first of throwing the cigaret
away. Thon I reilecteil. that tho sulphur was
harmless, and so concluded to smoke it. Now
I always fumigato my cigarets, often nsiug
three and four matches instead of one.
To Others Ilelong- tho Spoil.
