THE Hls1oRY OF BuTrER.-From the vsri-
Gus statements in history, it may be safely con-
cluded that the discovery Of butter is attribu-
table neither to the Greeks nor Roman but
that the former were made acquainted with il
BY the Scythians Thracians and Prygians, and
the latter by the people of Germany 1t ap-
pears, says Beckman, that when they had learn
ed the art of making it, they employed it on
ly as an ointment in their baths, and particu-
larly as medicine. 1t is never mentioned by
Galen and Others as food, though they have spo.
ken of it as applicable to other purposes. No
notice is taken of it by Apicius, nor is there
anything said in that respect by the authors
who treat on agriculture, though they have gi-
ven accurate information regarding milk, cheese
and oil. This may be easily accounted for by
the fact, that the ancients were entirely accus-
toned to the use of good oil. In Ike man.
ner, butter ia very little used at the present
day in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the SON.
thern parts Of France, but it is sold in the
apothecaries' shops for medical purposes. Dur
ing the ages of PaganiSm butter appears to
have been very scarce in Norway mention is
made by historians of present of butter so
large that man could not carry it, and which
was considered very respectable gift.-Far-

NArrRAL STRINGS OF HoRsg's Hoor-
Every one knows the additional power of re-
siStins or sustaining concusSion and weight any
fbrous substance has, if struck or pressed in
the direction Of the lbres, besides if acted on
in any other. The hoof of the horse is com
posed Of an infinite number of dense fibres,
strongly agglutinated together, and to enable
it with the greatest advantage TO meet and
support the conclusion there is when it strikes
the ground, these fibres are every one of them
so placed in the unShod foot as TO receive the
shock directly on their ends In addition to
this, the front part of the hoof where the force
of concussion is greatest, is twice or thrice as
thick and strong as the sides aud heels, its
slope Indicating exactly the direction of the
descent Of the horses weight
