the Berliner ate 8?t5 horses, against
(510 in October, 1888. For various
reasons, however, the working people ,
in the Prussian capital do not eat so !
much horse as the poorer classes of j
other German cities. Konigsberg, for
instance, with about the same popula

in which they appeared in 186i, has
just confessed that lIr. Locke not

that he gave the Journal $2 each for
