In France and Germany there are
many stores where horse meat alone is
sold. Such meat is highly ei tecmed.
As a soup meat it is considered by
many superior to beet ami the soup is
described as a beautiful amber color,
tempting alike to eye and palate. Of
i onise horses arc not raised expressly
for the butcher, but whenever an ani
mal meets with an injuiy it is sold to
those making a business of slaughter
ing 'horses. All animals are inspected
by (ioeitune:;t officials before killing,
so that there is little dauber of any
diseased meat beiuu; sold.
The French reason that t tin hiMfeo is
a cleanly animal, far supe'i r in such
respect to the hot; or even the fin,
and that prejudice and expense have
alone operated hitherto in keeping

these are three , missive caskets of
solid c,ohl, each as big as a four

to tien. (tiant from tho cities of

invitation to a bail, which was i-ent
to ti c hero of Appomattox by friend
it) San Francisco. It was Inclo-ed In
a silver enve'01 e, with the address
engraved on the outside and an ordi

there is a goM scimitar, sent by tin
Emperor of Morocco to Thomas Jef

swords with solid gold scabbards.
Two of these were given to Wen.

In the same m lection Is a gobl

ii metal of gold worth $.',(100. which
was given by Congress to Francis io
recognition of his scrvieo to human

about six months ago, being long

had s.iiT' n lered these trophies to the
