Diseases of Horses Feet-Corns.

Most hOr semen understand more OF
less the nature of this latter common dis
ease. Few are so ignorant as not to
know their location in the foot of the
horse. Yet, with all this knowledge
OF the disease. these very persons. though
they think they know the nature of
corns, really know very little about them.
Corns. like many other diseases, are
durable when taken before much disor-
ganiZation of the parts have taken place
In the first place, undue pressure up
the outer edge of the inner heel is main
ly the cause of the disease, and conse-
quently III shoeing should have extra
care in seating the shoe to this part of
a horse with either a shelly hOof or a
corn. The shoe should be eased off
gradually for about an inch or so from
the end, never upon any account thick
ened where the foot is weak or at all
inclined to cOrnS, for most certainly the
increased thickness must and does in
crease the pressure, and a horse so ShOd
cannot long escape cOrns.
In all cases of cOrns the foot affected
must have the sole between the frog and
the outer crust pared pretty thin ana
evenly, so as to allow of some elasticity
in immediate vicinity of the corn. Cut
ting away the bars of the foot very ma
terially wealIens the same, and, as a con-
sequence. induces cOrns and other dis
eases of the foot. Weak heels should
not be pared to the extent that string
foot is, which should always be well and
evenly pared at every shOeing, but should
be nicely and evenly rasped, the shoe
scarcely touching the heels.
After a corn is found in a foot beyond
question. with very fine pairing knife
carefully pare to the bottom. Don't by
any means wound the sensible part of
the foot, but for fear of quittOn and 9th
er serious mischief, get to the bottom.
Put into the hollow formed by pairing
a piece of tow or cotton batten wet with
butter of anitmOny, and press it to the
bottom. DO this for about three or four
times theE substitute for the butter of
compound tincture of myrrh
and alOeS ; apply for some time, say a
week or ten days, Then examine care
fully, also watching the movements of
the horse to ascertain the degree Of ben
eft resulting from the treatment, and
govern your future acts by circumStan-
ces. If Lurthe'S treatment is found ne

Origin of Few Familiar Phrases.

Y ou cannot say boo to a goose. -
How often have persons relieved their
feelings of irritation at the weakness of
others by hurting this phrase at them :
Had the latter only known its origin
they could have been paid back in their
own coin. The origin is this When
Ben Johnston, the dTamatist, was intro
duced to a nobleman. the peer was so
struck with his hOmely appearance that
he exclaimed ''What you are Ben
Johnson Why, you look as if you could
not say boo to a goose. = ''Boo - ex-
claimed the witty dramatist, turning to
the peer and making his bow.
The phrase Putting the cart before
the horse" can boast of great antiquity,
having first been quoted by Lucian. the
great Greek writer, nearly LOO years
ago. Francis Rabelais, the French sa-
tirist and wit, whose ''GOrgantua'' was
published in the year 1888, has tie
phrase HE placed the carriage before
the steed," No derivation of it can be
given, but the meaning is very obvious,
and refers to those who begin to do
thing at the wrong end. Il have a bone
TO pick with yOu'' is a phrase that is un-
complimentary to the ladies at starting.
1t means, as is well known. having an
unpleasant matter to settle with YOU
and this is the origin of the phrase At
the marriage banquetS of the Sicilian
poor, the BRIDES father, after the meal.
used to hand the bridegroom a bone.
saying "Pick this bone, for you have
taken in hand harder task. =
The Well-knOwn saying that a shoe
maker should stick to his last originated
with Appelles, the celebrated Greek
painter, who set a picture which he had
finished III public place and concealed
himself behind it, in order to hear the
criticisms of passers-by. y shoemaker
observed Il defect in the shoe. and the
painter forthwith corrected it. The
cobbler came again the next dav. and
encouraged by the success oe his first
remark, began to extend his censure to
the leg OF the figure, when the angry
painter thrust out his head from behind
the picture and told the shoemaker to
keep 30 his trade.
There's good time coming. bows
a good time coming, " was written thirty
years ago by DIR. Charles Mackay. and
sung with great popularity by Henry
russell III bis concerts throughout the
British islands.
Going the whole hog This phrase
originated in Ireland, where a British
shilling has been called "a hog'' time
out of mind. In Ireland, if a fellow
happened to have shilling. when he
met bis friends he would announce the
