When cooked the flesh is densea and
heavier than beef, and has a sweetish
taste. Horse fat melts to a clear fluid
at a low temperature—something like
70 degrees—while for beef fat the tem-
perature must be 112 degrees.
This is perhaps the best and surest
test. Raw horse flesh has a curious me-

Horse flesh has been used to some ex-

BLONDES BECOMING EXTINCT.
""The blondes are ie disappearing human
type," says ,Anthropologist Otis T.
Mason, of the . Smithsonian T2rstitutlem
"They are going fast. Blonde women are
becoming scarcer every day, and to-
day there are not nearly so many fair-
haired and _"blue-eyed beauties as there
were 50 years ago. Already such a thin;
the e, real blonde, purely such, is so
rarely seen in this country as to excite
remark, and golden tresses are so in-
frequent that veritable ares are usually
suspected to be dyed. In short,. it has
become evident that before long this
type of feminine lovelines will have
practically vanished from the earth.
lou may judge how rapidly the
blondes are going when you consider
the fact that wherever a brunette man
marries a blonde woman, or vice versa,
66 per cent..of the children born have
dark hair and eyes. At that rate not
many centuries will be required to wipe
out- the fair type altogether."

and he makes the following statement:
"I had Kidney Trouble, and it develop-
ed into Diabetes. I went to the doctor,
but his treatment was of no use what-
ever to me. I began to take Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills in December, 1002. I took
them all winter and summer while I was
unable to work my farm. I took 12
boxes in all, and in August I was able
to work.
"Now I am quite strong. I worked all
winter without pains in my back or any
part of my body. Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured me." •

"Two," said the student.
"What are they?"
What a laugh in the class the stu-

"An inside and an outside."
But this was nothing compared with
what followed. The doctor said to the
student: "And you attend the moral phil-

"Yes."
"Well, you would hear lectures on va-
rious subjects. Did you ever hear one

"Yes."
"Does an effect go before a cause?"
"Yes."

Whipping Horses Prohibited.
Among the curious things that arrest
the attention on arriving in Moscow is
the entire absence of whips among driv-
ars of cabs, carriages and all sorts of
vehicles, There is a law prohibiting
their use. There is not a single whip
in use in Moscow. The excellent condi-
tion of the horses attests the benefit of
this humane law. Nothing can exceed the
beauty of the sleek and well groomed

AW r"TJL SIGHT AT DEATH BED.
Former Slave Trader Meets a Miserable.
End in a Hovel.
A man who had been notorious for his
cruelties while engaged in the slave trade
lay dying in a squalid hut in Edinburgh.
According to the Scotch custom the fam-
ily opened the door to let the spirit pass.
To their infinite horror the bloody head
of a' black man suddenly rolled into the
room. The family shrieked with fright,
the man on the bed gave a yell of terror.
They turned to his bedside, but he ex-
pired as they watched.
When they 'looked toward the door
again the head had disappeared. There
was a splash of fresh blood upon the
floor to mark the spot where it had been,
but nothing else to certify that the hor-
rid sight had not been a creation of
morbid imagination.
This appearance of a negro's head in
the room of a man dying after he had
committed innumerable barbarities upon
black slaves was a strange coincidence
and nothing more. Prof. Owen, the fam-
ous anatomist, had been attending an
anatomical lecture, where the body of a
negro had been dissected. bla was taking
the head home with him to examine it
more carefully. The streets were wet
and slippery.
Just as he was passing the open door
he tripped, and the head, slipping from
the cloth in which he had it, rolled into
the little room. The cry of the dying
man diverted the attention of those veho
were in the room, so that Owen was able
to secure his treasure and depart un-
noticed.
"At Tangier," said a Chicagoan, "1
once saw Raisuli. He looked as magnifi-
cent as an Indian rajah, and a French-
man told me that he had a foolhardy
and reckless valor.
"This Frenchman said that Raisuli had
entered the shooting gallery of Tangier
one day while a Tunisian was trying a
little pistol practice.
"The Tunisian was an excellent shot.
He broke glass balls, rang bells, split
pipe stems and penetrated bull's ayes
without number. At each shot a polite
murmur of applause arose. The man
was all puffed up with triumph.
"Raisuli looked on with a sneer, and
finally he said in a loud voice:
"'In a duel this gentleman wouldn't
shoot so well,'
"We'll see about that,' yelled the Tun-
isian, and he challenged Raisula and
ten minutes later they were on the field.
"They were to fight at 12 paces, each
each to fire one shot. Lots were drawn
as to who should shoot first, and Rai-
suli lost. He took his stand before the
Tunisian calmly and the latter lifted
his weapon, took careful aim, and—
missed.
"Raisuli smiled. `What did I tell you?'
he said.
"And be thrust his pistol in his belt
and strode away, humming a French
song."—Philadelphia Ledger.

one echo on the .Franco -Spanish frontier

"As soon as you have spoken," said
the Frenchman, who had secured an

as soon as it has passed the frontier
it assumes the Spanish tongue! But, yes,

It would seem that the use of the
hands would be a necessity to a seam-
stress, yet there is an expert in needle-
craft living in Sag Harbor, L. I., who
has no use of either hands or feet. She
does the most exquisite work holding
the needle in her mouth. When she
wants to thread a needle she sticks it
into the soft wood of her work table with
her mouth, and then biting off the cot-
ton the right length, passes it through
the eye with her lips with more quick-

A man who has investigated is pre-

modest means is never sable to serve
steak as it is found in the best restaur-

simply because when a portion .of steak
is ordered from the family butcher Ise

weight desired be very small the cut is
extremely thin. but quite wide. In this
condition it is impossible for the
most
expert cook to broil it so it will retain

Animals that Will. Mot Drink.
Naturalists have discovered many ani-
mals' which seem to need no water or
which drink only at rare intervals.
There is a certain breed of gazelles that
never drink, and the llamas of Patagonia
live for years without taking water„
There is a particular class of cattle near
Losere, in: France, that rarely touches
water, but in spite of this feet these
cattle'give milk of a rich quality, from
which excellent cheese is made. Many
naturalists have the theory that hares
do not drink, or that water is not a
.necessity for them, and that the dew osis
the egress is suffioieut, for their needs.
