THE PHENOMENAL LIAR.-The indiviGu-
al, about whom crowd gathered in front
of Barnum's Hotel, on Saturday evening,
was tall, indifferently we'll dressed man of
about thirty. He was talking in an anima-
ted style, and the crowd about him were
listening intently. An american reporter
drew near and heard: 'There were just
one hundred and thirty-seven rattlesnakes;
great long fellows-every one as thick as
my arm, and they ratified their tails so as
to make more noise than a railroad train.
Attack them? Of course did; but l only
killed about twenty. The last one l had to
smash with stone, and you may believe
me or not, but thirteen snakes (alive and
rattling their tals) came out of the stomach
of the dead one and made for me; it was
too much, aud ran" Just at this time
the relator drew handkerchief from his
pocket, and with it there came a slip of pa
per, which fell to the ground The reporter
picked it up, but on reading, "Mr. F. B.:
This is the last quart of whiskey l will send
you till you pay for the dozen you have GOT
since Sunday" concluded that the story of
the snakes was, alas! TOO true, and moved
away to look for a man who could tell some-
thing about the elector from Oregon Bal

Cor HIS ANSWER Once in great
while man can stand on street corner in
Detroit and ask question which can't be
answered, but such instances are very rare.
Yesterday noon, when an old citizen made
an inquiry of a crowd at the post-office, it
wasn't second before he was being an
swered. He started out with the remark
that he was nearly sixty years OLD, and
ended by saying:
"Can anybody tell me why we have this
warm spell called Indian summer ?''
"Yes, sir" was the prompt answer. sit
is to give certain persons a chance to wash
up, and get on a clean shirt before winter
sets in for goodr'
The old resident coughed several times,
took another look at the sky, and moved
on. After he had gone about a block he
halted suddenly gr, red in the face, and
exclaimed:
"Come to think of it, l believe that
scoundrel meant to insult me- and | wish
had knocked him down."

HORSE -SHOEING.

The following extracts from recent ar
ticle in Forest and Stream, contain some
useful suggestions:
"On an average horses require shoeing
once month. The length of time shoe
! will wear depends much on the kind of ser
vice horse is doing, and on the kind of
road he is daily travelling. A team horse in
heavy draught does not wear out as many
shoes as one used in hack; quick motion
grind shoes down more rapidly than slow
use. Some pavement is harder on shoes
than an ordinary road while the friction of
gravelly road wears them away rapidly.
Wooden pavement is but little saving to
the wear and tear of shoes, for the grit
and dust which become impacted in the in
terstices of the wooden block grind away
shoes like the friction of an emery wheel.
The hind shoes wear out first, and there is
more strain and friction on them than on
the forward shoes. 1t is impossible and i'm
proper for horse to wear shoes more than
six weeks, fer the growth of the foot short
ems the shoe, as we'll as changes the shape
otherwise. The neglect will cause the shoe
to encroach upon the soft textures of the
foot and produce lameness.
"There are but few practical mechanics
who have sufficiently studied the foot of the
horse. 1t is not enough to know the anat-
omy of the foot, and where to insert a nail
not to cause pain, but the foot should be
StnHp6 in bc ta+a Of,
mechanism of man has by artificial applian-
ces distorted it. The shape of the hoof of
the wild horse, or of one which has never
been shod, should be taken as model
The foot is then properly balanced, neither
too long nor too broad, but it has adjusted
itself to nature, and the muscles and ten
dons are not strained by travel Confine-
ment and unskillful shoeing change the an
atomical relations of the foot, and the best
judgment of the mechanic is often taxed to
correct the growing deformGy-from un-
skllllul shoelng. When reasoning, skill
full mechanic is found, the horse is safe in
his hands, for he only preserves the normal
shape of the hoof, and adjusts the shoe to
Plolecl IT, Inc frog IN the hoof OF the
horse is placed there for a particular pur-
pose, and should not be cut by the shoer.
If this is allowed. contraction and lameness
will follow. The shape and weight of the
shoe should be accommodated to the pur-
poses for which they are designed. The
track horse requires shoe lighter and with
out corks, while the draught horse must
have heavy broad shoe, with corxs to en-
able him to obtain foothold and travel with
the least possible strain"

The Scientific american recently suggest
ed that the American custom of sitting on
the right-hand side of the carriage, and of
turning to the right on meeting another
vehicle, was wrong, and that the English
custom of turning to the left was correct
A correspondent of The Boston Transcript
insists that the change made in New Eng
land in the matter of driving. seat and turn
ing out was not without reason. The
driver seated on the right, and, always
keeping to the right, can see the dangers
and difficulties on his side of the road he
can keep his wheels from running into the
ditch and perhaps overturning him, which
in new country, with rough and unfnish-
ed roads, is a much more common danger
than that of collisions. Moreover, he has
the full command Of his whip, which he
cannot have while on the left hand side of
the carriage unless, indeed, he is left handed

REVIVAL FRgITs.-The statistics of the
churches show that during the past year
revivals have been general, and that many
thousand persons have been converted in
them. They have raised the increase of
members in the Methodist Episcopal church
from 1000 in 1876 to 33, 900; the Northern
Presbyterian church reports the largest gain
since the Old and New School reunion, viz,
$4,000, and even the Protestant Episcopal
church, heretofore supposed to be unaffected
by revivals, his increased the number of its
communicans by nearly $4,000, The Lu-
therans report gain of about $1,000, part
of which is due to the revivals, and part to
German immigration. The statistics of
the Wesleyans in Great Britain show that
the effects of Moody and Sankey's work
there are still felt, for their increase is
four times as large as in former years.

Germelshausen-yes," said the keeper.
'It stood right there in the swamp, where
now the old willows and alders grow, but it
sank-nobody knows why, or where it went,
and there's saying that every hundred
years it comes up again. May no good
Christian ever happen to see it ! But ly-
ing out all night in the bushes doesn't seem
to have agreed with you. Yur're white as
sheet. Here, take drink from this flask
it will do you good-so-so-take plenty"

"But Germelshausen."
s'Do me the favor not to speak of that
place again right on the spot where we
stand. Let the dead rest, and particularly
those who haven't any rest, and may ap-
pear among us again unexpectedly at any
moment"
'But yesterday the village was still
standing here" Arnold insisted, utterly be-
wildered. 81 was in it. / ate, drank, and
danced there"
The keeper looked the young man over
from head to foot, and then he said, smill-
ing. care you sure it hadn't some other
name? You seem to have come right from
Dillstedt; there was dance there last night,
and it isn't every one that can bear the
strong beer the landlord brews nowadays"
For answer, Arnold opened his portfolio,
and took out the sketch he had made from
the graveyard.
''DO you know that village %
''No," said the keeper, Gin all the coun-
try round here there's no such low tower as
that
'That is Germelshausen, said Arnold.
''And do the peasant girls in the neighbor-
hood dress like this one here?'
"H'm, no. What kind of queer funeral
procession is that?"
Arnold did not answer. With a strange
pang at his heart he laid the paper back in
his portfolio.
"You can't miss the way to Dillstedt,"
said the keeper good-naturedly, for a dim
suspicion still haunted him that the stranger
was not quite right in his head. ''If you
like I'll guide you until you come in sight
of the place; it wouldn't be far out of my
way"
"Thank you," said Arnold, declining the
offer. '1'll get over there all right Then
it's only once in hundred years that the
village comes up?''
$50 the people say answered the keeper;
but who can tell if it's true?''
Arnold had taken up his knapsack.
''Gruss Gott," he said, holding out his
hand to the keeper.
''Thank you kindly" the man answered.
"Where are you going now?'
ssTo Dillstadt ,,
THAT'S right. The other side of the hill
there you'll strike the high-road'
Arnold turned and walked slowly away,
but when he reached the point from where
he could see the whole valley he stood still
and looked back.
Farewell, Gertrude," he murmured soft
ly, and as he passed on his way there were
tears in his eyes.-Harper's Magazine.

was thoroughly posted in current events,

of little technical learning. his common

knowledge of men, and an influence over
them that was unlimited. My brother Tom
