IM EUROPE MEATS ARE VERY HIGH Washington Butcher Compares Continental Prices with American Prices.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 9. Emil Joseph, a Washington Market butcher, has . just returned from a 'three months trip to Europe, during which he mixed business with pleasure by keeping his eye on the markets of the leading Continental cities for the purpose of satisfying himself as to living conditions and more particularly to ascertain the prices paid for meats in the butcher shops of Vienna, Paris and elsewhere. The results of this inquiries convinced him, he says, that the customers of the American butcher have less to kick about in these days of high cost of living than folks on the other side. "Wherever I went," he said, "I found that the beef was scarce and much higher than in this country. In some countries it is so expensive that poor people can afford to eat it only once a week. "While in Vienna I dropped into a market that had been handed down from father to son in a straight line for 400 years. It was kept by Ferdinand Zinsler, whose uncle had a shop next door which supplies meat to royal families. "I had a long and interesting talk with Zinsler and was surprised greatly to learn from him how much higher prices are in Vienna than here in New York. Prices of Meat. "For instance, the wholesale price for dressed calves there is 21 cents a pound, while here it is about 16 cents. Sheep with heads on cost 16 cents, while the price to the retail butcher here is 8 cents. The cheapest meat I found in Vienna was lamb, whole lambs being bought for $1.00 apiece; the wholesale price in this country is 12 cents a pound, or about $6 each. "The retail prices of beef would jar you. Rump or round steak in Vienna costs the housewife 38 cents a pound, bones and all, as against 20 cents here. "Porterhouse roast with or without fillet brings 50 cents there and 30 cents here; quite a difference, as you will observe. Prime rib roast is 42 cents a pound and here it is 26 cents. Chuck roast beef there is 23 cents and our customers never have to pay more than 16 ecnts. Parisian Prices. "Now take the Paris prices. The wholesale price of beef is from 16 to 18 cents a pound. Round steak in Paris costs 28 cents a pound; top chuck is 24 cents. The best cut of 'plats' for boiled beef or soup meat ia retailed at 22 cents a pound, while In this country the price ought to be around 14 and 16 cents. "They get 32 cents a pound for legs of mutton, and tomorrow you can buy the best there is in this market for 12 cents retail. "Other prices are accordingly high. For instance, they will charge you 7 cents for a lamb kidney. We get 2 and 3 cents. Calves brains are 32 cents a pair and here they are 12 cents Mutton brains are worth 14 cents there and only 5 cents in New York. Beef brains are quoted at 25 cents in Paris and 10 cents in Washington Market. "A calf's heart is considered a great delicacy, and you have to pay 32 cents for it, which is considerably in excess of 8 and 10 cents that the American housewife has to pay for it. "Pork is very high in France, chops bringing 35 cents a pound in all first class shops; the average New York price is 22 cents. Fresh hams bring 24 cents, as against 18 cents here. German Prices. "I found that the prices in Germany were about the same as in France, and all along the line it was a case of very little meat for the poor folks. "One day I dropped into a big beer garden in Munich. There were hundreds of men and women sitting at the tables drinking great steins of Muenchner beer and eating radishes and bread. The beer cost only four (Advertisement) When Baby Has Group EVERY MOTHER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BOOTH'S HYOMEI. In any home where a child has a tendency to croup, a bottle of HYOMEI (pronounce it High-o-me) should be kept constantly on hand. A sudden attack of croup with difficult breathing and extreme distress Is apt to come on at any time. The course to be pursued is plain. Send for your doctor at once, and in the meantime drop 30 drops of HYOMEI into a bowl of boiling water and hold the child's head over it, cover with a towel or cloth, so that onl ythe air filled with HYOMEI vapor is breathed. This method of treatment has saved many a child's life, and mothers of croupy children should see to it that Booth's HYOMEI is always on hand.

cents and the steins contained nearly a quart. "Owing to the poverty of the people and the high cost of living many were compelled to get their daily meals at these beer gardens. "In some of the German cities the breast cf muttcn, which poor people in this country wouldn't look at at 6 and S cents a pound, costs 22 cents a pound. Is it any wonder that the poor can have meat only once a week, and don't you think we are much better off in this country notwithstanding all the talk about the exorbitant ; prices?" Although all kinds of meat are higher in Europe than in America, according to Mr. Joseph, game ia cheap, particularly in France. "In Paris," he says, "pheasants are quoted at $1.20 to $1.40 apiece, while here they cost $2.50. Red prairie chickens are from 60 to 70 cents each and gray ones from 60 to 65 ecnts. Here if you want prairie chicken you must pay $5 a pair for them."

Vaudevilte Matinee and Night. Gennett. Oct. 9 Neil O'Brien s Minstrels. The Murray. Miss Jessie Webster as "The Girl from Shanley's" in the miniature musical comedy of that name at the Murray this week, is one of the prettiest girls seen on the local stage for a long time. Miss Webster is not only good to look at but has a nice voice and is a charming little actress. She was last season with "The Time, The Place and The Girl." This tabloid musical comedy is one of the best things put on at the Murray for a long time and worth seeing. Del Reno, the magician, amuses the audience with his clever tricks, and Jimmie O'Dea, has a newsboy stunt that is a bit out of the usual, accompanied by good dancing. Elsie Cardella is funny in "Sunny" a sort of Sis Hopkins type and convulses the house with her burlesque of some of the recent popular stage dances and the Waynes put on an entertaining singing and dancing act. The bill is one of the best seen at this theatre this season. Neil O'Brien. The program presented by Neil O'Brien and His Great American Minstrels, which will be the attraction at the Gennett this evening is said to consist of much novelty, great fun and all new and tuneful musical numbers many of the latter having been composed expressly for this organization by some of America's best known song writers. Prom a vocal standpoint no minstrel entertainment ever presented offers a more attractive array of singjers. The vocal corps is headed by the famous lyric baritone of International reputation, Wm. H. Thompson, said to be the highest salaried vocal artist on the minstrel stage. Other song stars of note secured by Manager Hodge are Al. Fontaine, the renowned basso, Jack McShane the grand-opera tenor, Wm. H. Hallett a very popular baritone, George Hagen. the- church choir boy soprano, and Chas. E. Wheeler. The above soloists are supported by a singing ensemble numerically strong and rich in voices. Minstrelsy's most potent feature, its comedy and mirth, is represented by several far famed burnt-cork comedians whose names are familiar to the vast majority of theatregoers, and whoso combined salaries are said to represent the total expenses of many other minstrel shows. Neil O'Brien, the star of the organization is the recognized leading black-face comedian of the American stage.

Second in importance to the star is Billy Van who several years ago left minstrelsy for vaudeville, but who now returns to i the semi-circle with a bran new mono- ! logue which he calls "Dr. Nut" and with a big repertoire of new jokelets. The Spread of Species. One of the problems that confront the naturalist is that of accounting for the 'distribution ot identical forms of life through widely separated localities. Investigation frequently shows that this has been accomplished In many ways that appear quite simple when once discovered, although one would hardly have thought of them. Some interesting facts have been gleaned concerning the dispersion of fresh water mollusks. accounting for their appearance In remote and isolated ponds. Waterfowl play an Important part in this work. Ducks have been known to carry mussels attached to their feet a hundred miles or more. Bivalve mollusks not infrequently cling to the toes of wading birds and are thus transi ported for considerable distances. Even aquatic insects have been known to carry small fresh water mollusks attached to their legs.

MANY MEXICANS Incendiary Suspected of Firing the Building, Causing the Explosion. (National News AssociAtlon TAMPICO, Mex., Oct. 9. Three hundred persons are suffering from injuries aad 45 mangled bodies are in the morgue as the result of an explosion of dynamite in a storehouse here. Of the injured, twenty probably will die. An investigation by the authorities led to the discovery that the explosion occurred during a fire which had evidently been set by an incendiary. Many of the killed and injured were spectators attracted by the burning building. Suddenly as they pressed close there was a terrific detonation which shook the earth and sent flying embers for many yards through the air. Persons of revolutionary sympathies are suspected of having fired the building and in some manner exploded the dynamite. Afl vfrtlsf mpnt ) Take Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea.

The foregoing quotation is from chapter xlii. verse 2. book of Uebrews. and it Is introduced solely lecuse It constitutes a vital part of this story. Julia is ten years old, aud she goes to Sunday school. It appears that ou & recent occasion the Sunday school teacher had considerable to say about this matter of "entertaining angels uua wares." Anyway, it made a deep Impression with Julia. A few days after the lesson Julia's mother left her iu charge of the house for a few hours. When the mother returned she went to a particular cup lu the cupboard to extract therefrom a half dollar. In this cup is kept the family pin money, and Julia's mother knew that shp had put 50 cents there before she had gone tut. Hut the half dollar was goue. There was an expression of anxiety on Julia's face, and mother scented mischief. "Did you take that money?" asked the mother, somewhat severely. Julia broke into tears. "I gae it to a man that came to the back door." oMhhI the little girl. "Gave it to a man" exclaimed the mother. "What for?" "I thought he might be an angel unawares," replied Julia. Kansas City Star.
How to String Bead. Dental floss is the best thing on which to string pearl, coral or glass beads. The floss may be bought at any large drug store for 10 or 12 ceuts a spool. To fasten the end neatly to the clasp run the floss through the two end beads, then through the ring on the clasp and back through the two end beads, knotting between the second and third beads. By knotting the floss frequently between the beads only few will drop off If the chain should ever break, thus saving the beads and perhaps avoiding an embarrassing and trying situation. 110 SICK, SOUR,
