The Horses Frog.

If we were to go to many blacksmith
and ask him if he did not think nature
had made mistake in putting the clumsy
frog into the horses foot, he would hardly
be ready to say yes, and very likely
would put on a surprised look and perhaps
explain that in some countries horses did
very well without shoes, and so the frog
was left to care fer itself. But while not
ready to take ground with you in any
criticism of the plan upon which the foot
is constructed, you have but to look in the
corner OF the shop where two horses stand
newly shod lift up their feet and OBJ
serve for yourself, that if the smith has
not said it, the knife has said the frog is q
bad thing, and must be cut away. The
horses do not stand on the ground, but
nearly half an inch higher, on the iron of
their shoes, and outer shell of their ho0f.
The practice is as sensible as it would be
for man who had to travel on all fours,
taking the weight on the. nails of his
fingers and toes rather than on the cush-
ion which lies behind them. It is always
the soft part-the india rubber part of
the feet of animals that have such-which
receives the weight, and not the shelly.
hard part. We know what an elephants
foot Isl it is all rubber-like. The horse
has the same encased in shell, which
gives him accuracy and steadiness Of
movement. Now, this casing protects the
frog. 1t grows slowly, the frog grows
rapidly. The healthy foot of the colt
shows a center, if not projecting, at least
level with the line of the hoof. He does
not take his weight wholly on tn. rim of
his feet. Old horses would have feet
more like them if blacksmiths would al
low they knew little less than ma
ture, and really knew enough to read her
intentions.
The object in shoeing the animal, aside
from the occasional one of changing its
gait, is simply to prevent the wear and
shattering Of the outer shell, and to en-
able it to take firmer hold of the ground,
escaping the slipping of the unshod horn.
1t is an unfortunate incident of our sys-
tenn of shoeing that the horse is raised
from the ground as boy is when he
mounts stilts

Music.

The world has no gratitude; no mem
ory for aught but disagreeables. And
yet know not why one should speak of
her SO hardly, making her, as it were,
the scape-goat of individuals-so meek
and unrevengeful as she is too. I sup
pose the cause is cowardice; a collective
hatred, too, has all the relish without
the bitter after-taste of q personal ami
mostly. But to continue. The world
hates all musicians because they make a
noise. She classes them with Germen
bands, barrel-organs, paper boys, old
clothes men, the irresistible sparrow,
the matutinal quack of the park-haunting
duck, and the town-bred chanticleer,
who, by growing throughout the night,
forfeits his only claim to respect. Musi-
clans violate the peace of the domestic
hearth; their art is an obtrusive one.

If piece of wood be placed in de-

burning glass is thrown upon it, the
wood will be completely charred, though
the sides of the decanter through which
the rays pass will not be cracked, nor in

Care Of the Hands.

It does not follow that hands which look
the worst do the most work; but it may
prove that the hands have been treated
carelessly, and I might say cruelty. For
instance, when woman plunges her
hands into hot water until they look like
boiled Holsters, or taking hold of the
handles of hot kettles or fat-irons, caus-
ing them to become like some peoples
conscience, 'tseared as with hot iron. !"
How it Jocks to see a well-dressed lady,
with hands all scratches, burns OF scars!
have wondered if they did not almost
wish they could take them off and leave
them at home whenever they went in
company. Have plenty of soft, thick
holders near the stove to take hold of the
handles of kettles or pans, Keep pair
of gloves near your sun-bonnet to bring
in wood, work in the garden, or to put
on when you sweep, that your hands may
not become callous. If they are liable to
chap, use plenty of glycerine or wash them
in vinegar, and when you sit down to your
sewing and your hands feel like nutmeg
crater, rub them with camphor, and it
will make them feel SO soft and pliable
that you will be enabled to handle the
finest fabric without its adhering to your
fingers. IF you are troubled with salt
rheum, use jumper Tar soap, Wn1cn ls ai-
most an infallible remedy. Keep a
bottle with few cents worth of oxalic
acid dissolved in it, and marked poison,
somewhere handy, and when there are
fruit stains, or you have been coloring
carpet rags or old garments, use few
drops on the stained parts and they will
disappear. IF you are in the habit of
scraping the pans or kettles with your
finger nails, don't do it-never again;
but keep an old knife for the purpose.
Sisters, take good care of your hands,
for your husbands sake, for your own
sake, for your comfort and for your con-
venience.

How to Use Glue.

The following practical hints on the
preparation and use of glue are from the
London Furniture Gazette:
All the glue as received from the factory
requires the addition of water before it
will melt properly, AMI every addition of
water (while the glue is fresh made) will,
up to a certain point, increase the ad-
hesiveness and elasticity; and it is the
duty of every man who uses glue to find
out just where that point lies. as it is pos
sible to melt glue and have it SO thick
that after it is dry or set it will be SO brit
tie as not to adhere to the wood. Some
CLUES will bear more water than others,
but all will bear more water than usually
falls to their share, and that, too, with a
greater increase in the quality of the
work.
For glue to be properly effective, it re.
quires to penetrate the pores of the wood,
and the more a body of glue penetrates
the wood the more substantial the joints
will remain. Clues that takes the longest
to dry are to be preferred to those that
dry quick, the slow-drying Clues being
always the strongest, other things being
equal.
For general use, no method gives SO
good result as the following: Break the
glue up small, put into an iron kettle.
cover the glue with water and allow it to
soak ~ hours; after soaking, boil until
done. Then pouri it into an air-tight box
leave the cover off until cold, then cover
up tight. AS glue is required, cut out a
portion and melt in the usual way. Ex-
pose no more of the made glue to the at
mosphere for any length of time than is
necessary, as the atmosphere is very de-
structive to made glue.
Never heat made glue in pot that is
subjected to the direct heat Of the fire or
lamp. All such methods of heating
glue cannot be condemned in terms too
senve.
Do not use thick glue for joints or ve-
neering. In all cases work it we'll into
the wood in similar manner to what
painters do with paint. Glue both sur
faces of your work excepting in the case of
veneering. Never glue upon hot wood or
use hot cauls to veneer with, as the hot
wood will absorb all the water in the glue
too suddenly, and leave only very little
residue, with no adhesive power in it.

Could not Marry Peaceably.

It is not intended that man shall
marry peaceably. Bill Skittles lives in
South Arkansas. For the past six
months he has been studying for the
ministry, and it occurred to Bill several
days ago that just before instituting re-
vival it would be good idea to get
married. He mentioned the subject to a
young lady and asked her to share his
ministerial melancholy hilarity, but the
young lady said she had promised to
marry Zeb Monk, the professional we'll
cleaner of of the neighborhood. "Oh,
well, said the minister, 81 am pretty
well acquainted with Zeb, and don't be-
ieve he'd kick"
The young lady finally agreed, and the
wedding day was fixed.
Grand preparations were made. The
girls brothers had caught couple of
'possums, and the old lady had baked an
immense sweet-potato pie. The Justice
of the Peace arrived. The parties took
their places. The Justice proceeded
with the ceremony, when Zeb Monk
walked in and demanded:
"Let up thar, boss. Say, cap'n, turn
that gal loose"
IT reckon won't, " replied Bill.
"Well, then" said Zeb, drawing re-

DROWNING AN EASY DEATH.--The
strangest incident perhaps among the
many strange incidents that crowded
themselves into that terrible hour that
followed the wreck and the burning of
the Narragansett in Long Island Sound,
was the deliberate suicide by pistol
shots of two young men, to avoid death
by drowning. It is true that the death
produced by bullet in the brain is one
of the most painless of deaths, if the
hand be steady that pulls the trigger and
the aim be true. But, then, SO is death
by drowning. Science, indeed, insists
that it is, or can be made, the easiest of
all deaths. The pain experienced in or
dinary drowning is, we are told, solely
occasioned by the convnlsive efforts of
the victim not to drown. AS soon as
these efforts cease and nature is allowed
to have her course all pain ceases also;
and the testimony Of all resuscitated
persons concur in this-the victim SINKS
into Inconsistencies with pleas
ant, and not unpleasant, sensations
The water coming into contact with the
lung fibre causes an exhileration of the
nerves. and this is the last thing q
drowning man feels. If person thea
had the courage, when he saw that all
was absolutely lost and death inevitable,
to first expe1 all the air from his lungs,
then leaping into the sea to draw in a
full inspiration of water as soon as he
got below the surface, science asserts
that his death would not only be pain
less. but would come to him as sweetly
and softly as slumber or drunkenness or
chloroform stupor. If q person had the
courage-ah, there's the rub! How few
men or women would have the courage

The same dealer says that this is the combi-
nation that most frequently causes trouble He
from persons who want to know whether this
combination can be Surmounted. He says he
overcame it, but it was accidental, and he could
not recall the previous moves. He was awak-
ened at O'Clock on Sunday morning by the
clerk of the hotel in which he is living The clerk
said he had solved the problem and could
do it again. Three or four OF the bOarders sat
up during the rest OF the night to see it done,
solved the problem ventured heavy wager
that he could repeat the solution. He lost,
became hopelessly confused, and finally
went to a manufacturer OF the puzzle and
saying that he could win his money back ten
times over If he knew the method. A
Boston man advertises to send the solution for
him he replies: ..Pick up the is and put it after
the a." 1t is said that a conductor on the Bos-
ton and Providence railroad was seen to work
out this combination, as well as another one in
which the follows the 10, with all the other
numbers correctly placed. In overcoming the
first combination he made 260 moves.

BY adding a sixteenth block, the game of
