Scientific Tips on What Part of the Beef Animal to Choose. From the New York Tribune. Slowly but surely rapid transportation and increased facilities of é¢very kind for moving fodd from one part of the world where it 1s plentiful to another part v here it is scarce are solving the food queszion of the earth. It ts not difMcult for the poorest people in the land to get abundant material for nourishment. The chief ob- stacle in the way of wholesome living lies in the ignorance of the individuals who Purchase and prepare the food. ‘The old proverb that “God sends the food and the devil sends the cook” is as true to- day as it ever was. As a rule, our poorest people are well acquainted with all the best and choicest cuts of meat, but know little about preparing a savory stew or a rich vegetabie broth from the less expensive but equally wholesome joints and cuts. The eapensive tenderloin, so highly. esteemed by the French because of its tenderness, is a piece which should always be regarded with suspicion, unless 1t is taken from the choicest steer beef. It lies inside the ant- mal, and the blood does not flow through it as freely as it does through the round cr upper pari of the leg and through the chuck o< shoulder. % The cysticerci of taenta are found in the liver and in the tenderloin and tender in- ner muscles of inferior old animals long denizens of the barnyard. Country people and poor people in our cities are apt to buy this beef because it is cheaper than prime steer beef. In the country little steer beef can be found. The mass of the animals Kilied in the country are cows past their usefulness for dairy purposes anu iattensd for the market. A considerable portion of cow geef reaches the cheap markets cf the city, and there is no special danger in cat- ing it if the liver and internal muscles, in- ciuding the tenderloin—just the part most popular—are avoided. The tougher, cheap- er, but more nutritious parts, like the neck, round and roasts, should be used, and shculd always be cooked thoroughly. if this is done, even the inner muscles and liver may be used without danger, as suttl- cient heat destroys all germs of any para- site that affects meat. Beef, pork and rabbits seem to be espe- cially Hable to the cysts of taenia. ““Meas- ly” pork means pork containing little round cysts filled with the cysticerci of a certain kind of taenia. Good young steer beef of the Durham or shorthorn breed, such as is fattened on corn on western farms, and constitutes the mass of the prime beef of New York markets, is not liable to the cysts of taenia, and this disease is one al- most unknown among the class of people who are always served with this meat. A physician in extensive practice among the homes of New York, where prime beef is used, may never have a case of taenia, though the disease is not an uncommon one among people who eat inferior cow beef. This is one of the reasons why it is better to buy the inferior cuts of ‘he best beef rather than the best cuts of inferior beef. It is beggars’ economy to buy in- ferior meat of any kind. ———__+ e+____ Stherian Whent. Prince Kropotkin in the New York Post. During my tmp in Canada I have re- peatedly been asked whether there is any probability that Siberia should soon become @ great wheat-experting country, capable to compete with the wheat-belts of the | states and Canada. And now I am asked cn different sides whether there is any truth in the statement of the Russian min- ister of ways and communications, Prince Hiikoff, | to the effect that “Siberfa never has produced and never will produce wheat and rye enough to feed the Siberian popu- lation”—this statement having been quoted by Mr. C. Wood Davis in this month's Forum, in a very interesting article “The Impending Deficiency of Bread- stuffs.” With regard to the past it is per- fectly true; and with regard to the future it may have been put in a somewhat too absolute form, but it is substantially eor- rect. There are in Siberia vast parts of the ter- ritory upon which witeat and rye can be grown to the same extent as wheat is now grown in Dakota and Manitoba. But there are also four wide regions where mining, which is already carried on to a conside ble extent, is sure to take in a near futu: a still more considerable developmeni— namely, the Altai, the Yeniseisk region, Transbaikalai, and the Amur rezion. There are’ moreover, the Kirghiz Steppe and partly the Middie Urals which depend for breadstuffs upon Siberia; and there are haif a miilion natives who already consume more breadstuffs than they can possibly produce. Altogether, it appears from very careful modern researches that the grain- exporting capacities of the Russian em- pire have been very much exaggerated. The considerable quantities of grain which are exported at the present time do not represent a corresponding surplus of pro- duction over and above the needs of the population; and the latest researches tend to prove more and nore that the yearly corsumption of wheat and rye per head of population in Russia would no more than equal the annual consumption of wheat per head in western Europe if no wheat and ryegwere at all exported and the total crop “of these two cereals were consumed within Russia itself. The question of the grain-producing ca- pacities of the Russian empire is one of intense interest, but it is too complicated to be discussed in a few lines only. eee Rat’s Ride on Trolley Pole. rom the Atlanta Constitution. ASscene of fun and excitement was wit- nessed this morning about 7:30 o’clock on Whitehall street, south of Alabama street, in front of one of the largest dry goods stores in the city. A crowd of youngsters had, though the hour was early, been busily rat hunting among the debris of rags and paper which had been cast cut of the stores, and the fruits of the chase were being tied by their tails and fed to terriers, which were much in evidence. One of the boys, in swinging a rat about by a string, inadvertently let go his hold and the string became wrapped about the trolley wire, leaving Mr. Rat suspended be- tween heaven and earth. As he swung there he made repeated and desperate ef- forts to free himself by twisting about and endeavoring to gnaw the string, but all to 1.0 purpose. The crowd stood and watched the strange scene with interest, while many efforts were being made to free the rodent from his unpleasant position. A negro came out of the store with a broom, “and, after many “swipes” at the animal, gave it up for a bad job. Thea another negro appeared upon the scene, armed with a blacksnake whip, which he plied with grace and skill, the reports sounding on the morning air like those of a pistol. The rat was struck repeatedly by the cruel lash, but still the string heid. Presently the trolley car came along, and to the astonishment and delight of the crowd, which by this time had assumed large proportions, the trolley picked up the string and carried away the rat, dangling this time not from the wire, but from a trolley pole. The shout that went up from the delighted “rubber-necks” at this strange sight was great indeed, but it was feeble to the roar which arose as the trol- Tey pole passed a supporting cross wire, broke the string and flung his ratship fully twenty feet high in the air. A rush was made for him as he descended, and soon he was deprived of what little life he may have had left after his novel and thrilling experience. All rats may look alike, but that certain- ly was the strangest-looking rat ever seen on Whitehall street as he took his frst and Tast ride on a trolley car. The Wrong Hat.
