One of the most remarkable of tbeae
heroic deeds, the unusual character of
which has given It a special page In the
naval annal of thla country, waa that
of RuelM'R James, an ordinary seaman,

i Mr. Du Ikils r omniMMs on this atate
ment as follows "I can not find any

atate of New York, and the Hem looks
like one of the kind that the Kurope.tn
journals, jealnua of American trade,
lake pleasure n circulating. Hut
I whether there Is truth In this report or
not. there la certainly a demand for
, good, wholesome horse meet In some
! of the markets of Kurope. In many of
the towns axe to be found well -stocked
marketa where nothing hut horse meat
la sold -fresh, salted, smoked and In
sausage form. The prices range from
6 cents to cents per pound, according
to cut, and a large amount of this meat
la purchaeed by the poorer rlaases. The
horsea used are old ones, or those kill
ed by accident. The people who buy
tbla meat elalm that they prefer It to
the tough oo w meat that Is aold for
from I to It rente per pound. It Is
aweeter, more tender and quite aa
wholesome, according to their state
ments, The ahopa where horae meat
la aold always have a "horse meat mar

that no deception la possible, If 'be
purchaser buys horse meat and rate It,
he does so knowingly. In this respect

Gradually we are shaking oft the
yoke of superstition. We have regard
ed It aa almost sinful to eat the flesh
of ttie horse, but we eat the flesh of the
hog without thought. The food of the
horse Is always clean grain and hay,
food clean enough to put Into our own
mouths could we but digest It, while
t" '"' of tbe hog Is swill and scav
enger food quite generally. There I
no reason why we should not make I
practice of shipping horse flesh to for
eign countries If they desire It, and de
sire It they do. If we could work off I
few hundred thousand poorly bred
horses In thl way It would e a good
thing for the American farmer, even
If he had to sell them without profit.
,ol much financial gain could be ex
pected, but to dispose of (hem for
something would he better than shoot
ing them and leaving them to the
crow. It has been i frequent occur
rence to shoot even young horses when
they could not be sold. W remember
of one man that few year ago ship
ped I carload of horses to the Kansas
City market, They did not bring the
freight and he waa lamenting that be
had not taken them out Into the back
lot and shot and burled them, I'oorly
bred horsea should be disposed of at
th first opportunity,
