A QUESTION OF BONES.
is * ; i- "Vor.varts" raises a- profound quesio tion in the following paragraph:— a "A butcher in the Prenzlauer Strasse ie sells bones under tho description i 'sheep's trotters,' at 3d. each. The if manager of the business caused it to n be blown that ho Was in a position to is obtain an unlimited supply of sheep's ■r trotters from tho public slaughteris house. Would-be customers flocked y from far and near to get a substitute ■r for meat to give a relish to their vegeie tables. One reader informs us that e she paid a shilling for four trotters, • s weighing three-quarters of a pound, jf but they wore, only bones! Now the _ highest price fixed by the police for •y bones is 6d., so the question arises, Are the bones in sheep's trotters bones, )s or are they not? The tact, however, , r remains that the public is made to pay ly in an unheard-of manner."
