for and every precaution empoyed for escape IN
case of fire. The stables Quilt in compartments
accommodating about thirty horses; heavy brick

Tough Ho0fs Of Horses.

It is stated that the Arabian horses,
50 largely used as cavalry in the British
army in India, possess such tough hoofs
that they rarely require shoeing. In =
full-grown horse the hoof becomes as
hard as flint, and he can make the most
severe marches without injury to bis
feet.
In ancient times, historians info-m US,
all horses went unshod, and to be able
to do so particular attention had to be
given to breed from none except those
having the toughest of hoofs. Mr..
Story, the American sculptor at Rome,
in one of his publications speaks of the
italian horses still retaining this extra
toughness Of hoof, derived, doubtless,
from the old Roman breed.
Brittle and tender feet in horses, it is
contended, come from the following
neglect in breeding: First, hereditary
predisposition second, imperfect nutri-
ton third, alterations of moisture and
dryness; fourth, disease of the foot
fifth, faulty shoeing. Horse breeders
would do we'll to consider all these
points attentively, and beware not only
of them but all ether defects of body
and limb, external and internal. al.-Rurdl

MeerSchaQm.

Tho word meerschaum in tho German
means sea-foam, and the material was 80
named because of its ightness and
whitish appearance. 1t il mineral Of
soft, earthly texture, somewhat resem-
bling chalk. It is found in Greece and
Turkey, as we'll as in Spain, occurring
in the form Of veins and otherwise. In
Turkey it il used extensively a. fuller's
earth. The custom is to roughly shape
it into blocks or rude forms Of pipes for
expectation. Pesth and Vienna are fa-
nous cities for the manufacture of meer-
schaum pipes, and at Geneva quite .
number Of the elegant smokers are to be
seen. The manufacture of the spurious
article is extensive, Paris leading in the
newer limitations. To produce the yel-
low and brown colors, so much admired
in the real meerschaum pipe, and which
come only after they are smoked some
time, the blocks are long kept in 4 mkt
ure of wax and fatty matter. These
are in part absorbed, and, afterward, be-
ing acted on by the heat from the to-
bacco, the meerschaum assumes various
shades of colors. What are known As
artificial meerschaums-made from the
parings of the genuine material, reduced
to fine powder, boiled in water, and
nodded into blocks-cannot easily be
distinguished from the real, but they
are generally heavier and moro free
from blemishes.
