GERMAN SAUSAGE.

The German's faith in the idol of his soul, the pivot of his being, the symbol of all he holds dear, in short, the sausage—lias been rudely and ruthlessly shattered. The Munish Post says: —

To-day, more than ever before, he whey eats sausage must be gifted with an unquestioning trust. " Heaven only knows what it is that is being sold under that name at present. The substance which is passing for sausage at the officially-fixed maximum prices in no way corresponds to the money that is spent on it. The intention of the city authorities was to produce cheap sausage. Their goodwill was most praiseworthy, but unfortunately their efforts met with no success.

"Large quantities of 'blended sausage' were placed on the market. Why 'blended sausage'" Simply because that variety yields the biggest "profits, of the very expensive blood and fat hardly a trace enters into its composition. "The latest materials to be employed in sausage manufacture are beetroot a-id parsnips, and with their intrusion the meat, the succulent source of our joy, Las disappeared. '• What else takes its place it were better not to inquire, too closely. Suffice it to say that the sale of ' blended sausage' yields the butchers a magnificent return, while the sausage-making art, as it is carried out at present, simply defrauds the .consumer of his hard-earned money."
