^Germans Passing
Up ‘Br’er’ Rabbit
Berlin.—Germans are burning against
■ the use of tame rabbits as food. Rab
bit sausage was a staple of the Teuton
table in wartime, and the Germans ex
plain its present unpopularity by sav
i ing they had too much of it in that
“hunger period.11
Millions of tame rabbits were im
, ported from Belgium and Holland by
the states and the municipalities and
sold at a nominal cost to the citizens,
who established rabbit hutches and
bred them to replenish the beef and
pork supply in the war.
Berlin alone bought 100,000,000
marks’ worth of rabbits in one order,
for which the city is still indebted.
Whole trainloads of the little animals
were distributed from 1017 to1 the mid
dle of the following year.
Many families tasted no other meat
but rabbit for months, and the sweetish
flavor of it palled. Then came a time
when the cost of rabbit feed- became so
high that the citizens were compelled
to "kill the animals and eat them, or see
them starve. Scon the rabbit houses
on the roofs of buildings, on balconies,
in bacayards, gardens, and odd corners
of alleys and streets,-disappeared.
Wilp rabbit is still sold in the mar
ket stalls, but the tame variety of the
species has virtually-vanished.

A man “butted in” at a waiting line
before the railroad ticket window at
New York, and the men who were in a
hurry glowered. “I want a ticket for
Boston,” said the man, and he put .'>0
cents under the wicket.
“You can’t go to Boston for 50
cents,” returned the ticket seller.
“Well, then.” asked the man, “where
can I go for 50 cents?”
And each of the fourteen men in that
waiting line told him.—Dental Digest.
