A CALIFORNIA paper describes the
latest thing OUT as new horseshoe
made out of three thicknessess of raw
hide, compressed together by heavy
pressure. 1t is said to last longer,
weighs only one-fourth as much as the
common shoes, never splits the hoof,
and has no bad influence on the foot. 1t
is 50 elastic that the horses step is never
uncertain. This will remind the farmers
who drove cattle and horses across the
plains in early days of the fact, now al
most forgotten, that this is no new in
vention, for the cattle, and horses, too,
were often shod with shoes made out of
buffalo hide, cut from the neck, where
the skin is almost an inch thick.

THE Green Bay Adrocatc says: IN
dian agent Bridgeman last Friday paid
the Oneida Indians their annuity under
the treaty of 1874 with the Six Nations.
The payment was made at the council
house, on the reservation, and amounted
to 81 900. A census of the tribe was also
taken, so that each individual should re-
ceive an equal share, by which it appears
that the tribe numbers ,405 individuals,
of all ages and both sexes. Agricultural
statistics were also taken. The reserva-
ton consists of $4,000 acres, of which
5000 acres are cleared and 5000 under
cultivation. The crops this season were
very good. There were 500 acres in
corn, and it is estimated that 22,500
bushels of grain and T., 500 bushels of veg
etables of various kinds were raised
They own $50 head of cattle and 600
hogs and sheep. This, we are informed,
is the best showing the tribe has ever
made"

THE fire in the Patent Office brings to
mind It's previous experience. In 1914
it escaped destruction while the capital
was III possession of a British force. 1t
was then under the same roof with the
general postotfice. Its burning was at
that time delayed by the circumstances
OF Its superintendent, and ultimately
prevented by a tornado which passed
over the city and dispersed the British
But the fate was only delayed On the
night OF December 1916, 1886, a fire
broke out which utterly destroyed all the
models and papers of the Patent Office
Some of the postal property was saved.
The utter blank of all government
records on the subject of inventions back
OF 1886, is frequently referred to in
patent suits, and has often added to their
lntrcacy and unsatisfactory results.

4 Boys Leisure Hours. =

WHAT . boy does with his leisure is
most important; what he gets in school
is mainly drill or exercise; it is a
gymnasium to him; he must eat else
where. What he does with his spare
hours determines his destiny. Suppose
he reads history every day, or scientific
books, in the course of q few years he
becomes learned. 1t matters very little
what he undertakes, Latin, Greek,
Hebrew, Sanscrit, all disappear if he
uses his spare time on them.
= A boy was employed in a lawyers S
Office to run Of errands- He was to sit
in little outer Office, and have the
daily paper to amuse himself with.
He commenced to study French, and at
that little desk became a fluent reader
and writer Of the French language. He
accomplished this by laying aside the
newspaper and taking up something
not SO amusing but far more profitable.
A coachman was often obliged to
wait long hours while his mistress made
calls. He determined to improve the
time; he found a small volume contain
ing the Eclognes of Virgil, but could
not read it, and so purchased a Latin
Grammar. Day by day he studied this,
and, finally, mastered all its intricacies.
His mistress came behind him one day
as he stood by the horses waiting for
her, and asked him what he was SO in
tently reading. Only bit Of Virgil,
my lady" "What, do youread Latino,
:" A little, my lady" She mentioned
this to her husband, who insisted that
David should have a teacher to instruct
him. In few years he became
learned man, and was a useful and
loved minister in Scotland.
A boy was hired to open and shut the
gates to let the teams out of an iron
mine. He sat on log all day by the
side of the gate. Sometimes an hour
would pass before the teams came, and
this he employed so well that there was
scarcely any fact in history that escaped
his attention. He began with little
book on English history that he found
in the road; having learned that
thoroughly, he borrowed of minister
History of Greece. This
good man became greatly interested in
him and loaned him books, and was
often seen sitting by him on the log
with him about the people
Df ancient times.
