New York will bo the first American city to per mlt lo or horse meat for food. The new ruling goes Into effect January 1. Paris eats horM meat. Why not New York?

The horse, furthermore, Is generally so free from disease that It requires less , supervision than cows, hog and sheep. Likewise, It will lower the cost of living."

It we examine tbe life history of any substance wiui sumcient Knowl edge and sufficient care, says tbfe En gineer, we shall find that nature pro vides means and forces that little by little are turning that substance into dust The manipulations ef man greatly assist In tbe process. But na ture Itself Is always active in it and even without man's aid is quite com petent to achieve tbe task. At times we strive to hinder the process, as, for example, when we apply paint to iron work in order to prevent it from rust ing. But we can binder it only for a time, and even then we merely check the degradation of one substance by degrading another. Thus we have con stantly to renew the paint on our Iron work. Tbe former coats disappear wholly or in part, and the material of which they were composed has turned to dust We may accordingly look forward to a time when all matter will be uniformly distributed as dust throughout space, a condition that ac cording to the nebular hypothesis, actually did prevail at one time, before the universe, as we know it was formed. ' Uncle Sam's Big Cheeks. When the government pays a claim or debt It la done by a treasury war rant signed by the secretary of the treasury. In May, 1904, the secretary signed a warrant for $40,000,000, which was delivered to J. P. Morgan ft Co. of New York as disbursing agent of this government on account of the Panama canal purchase. This was the largest i. warrant ever issued. The largest sum previously covered by a single government warrant was ror ' $7,200,000. paid to Russia in 18CS on ! account of the Alaskan purchase. Tbe next largest sum was $3,500,000, paid In 1870 to the British government on account of the Halifax award nnder the treaty of Washington for infringe ment of fishing rights in Nova Scotlan waters. In 1839 this government paid Spain, through the French ambassador, $20,000,000 for the Philippine Islands, but this sum was represented by four warrants of $5,000,000 each.-Pblladel- phla Press. V Broadway Noon Idyt Every weekday at noon the chimes of Grace church, in New York, send down Into tbe clatter of Broadway the strains of old familiar hymns. The other day the chimes had Just finished ricyel's hymn. They began a new melody, which In the, midst of the city's roar Was not at first distinguish able. Then the tangle of notes un wound itself and through tbe noises of tbe street sounded the sweet notes of "Just as I Am, Without One Plea." - J!ar wheels clanked, car brakes shriek , Iron ehod horse hoots smote the stones of the street motor horns blew raucously; there was the sound of a myriad human feet and of many hu man voices, and through It all "Just as I Am, Without One Plea." Pedestrians took up the theme and bummed itabscntmlndedly. JOld Bcenes were brought back, old faiths strength ened, old blessings remembered. Christian Herald. First English Book on Sport. Tbo first book on sport ever printed In the English language was a rimed treatise called the "Boke of St Al bands." Its author being a woman, Dame Juliana Berners. ' Its second edition was printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1400. A descendant of her family, Lord Berners, wu the trans lator of Frolssnrt's "Chronicles." It is true that old manuscripts existed, such as the "Venerle de Twecy" of the time of Edward II.. but It wss Dame Juliana who was the real ancestress of sorting literature In England, for she also composed an essay on hawk tug and. another on "Pishing With an Angle." the lust being of such excel lenee thnt lzaak Walton himself did take a hint from its pages.
