The Foot OF the Horse.
Rev. J. G.. Wood.

rev. >. q. wood.
Few people seem to be in the SLIGHTEST
degree aware of the structure of the
horse. AS test question, he would ask
if any one present could tell him how
many springs there were in a horses
hoOf. He did not know exactly. be-
cause the number varied; but there
were somewhere about 1,2OO SPRINGS.
The lecturer then sketched upon the
blackboard a horizontal section of the
horses hOOf, showing the outer hard.
horny covering, and the inner softer
membrane, with the ''spring radiating
from il and overlapping other curved
springs proceeding from the frog of the
hoOf He described the springs as pro-
ceeding from the tolerablv hard un-
derlayer of the hOof, each spring about
as thick as writing paper, and all paral-
lei and close together; these were ioined
by the curved springs of the frog into
which they worked reciprocally. A per-
pendicular section of the hoof showed
that the springs connected with the
sides ran down and interlaced with the
springs of the frog. He had seen but
one adult horse that had never been
Shod. 1t was as difficult to find n boOf
unspOilt by the farrier as it was to see a
human foot innocent of the disfiourino
effects of the tortures inflicted 6y the
shoemaker. The horse he referred to
was Hammel, the war-horse of the late
King Theodore of Abyssinia. Hammel
had been accustomed to the soil of rock
and sand OF Abyssinia, and in England
he had done his full share of work; vet
his hoOf was perfect picture: the hOof
was hard and well shaped, and the ami
NAL walked along nearly silently, even
on boards. Look at the elephant-had
any one ever heard an elephant walk?
His weight was as much as that of many
horses; his legs were like the trunks of
trees; yet his tread was nOiseless. The
reason was, that all the beautiful springs
were in their places; no farrier lad
hacked them away; each was on lis

A Singular Race.

A Naples cOrrespondentwrites: The
other day at the villageOf Picinola sin
gular race took place, customary on the
occasion of the annual feast of the pat
ron saint-St, Antonio. At D. m. the
picture of the saint, with his inseparable
pig, was affixed to the door of the par
ish chcrch, and all the prOprietors of
horses, asses, mules, pigs, fowls, pi-
geons, &C., brought their respective
animals which were decorated with long
varicOlOred ribbons, and deposited their
obOli at the feet of the saint. Then fol-
lowed a grOtesque and characteristic
scene. Horses, asses, oxen, and even
some poor pigs were mounted, and a
race commenced, during which riders
fell of, beasts took fright and boys were
trampled under foot, while timid sheep
ran wildly hither and thither, mixing
themselves up with the legs of their
larger companions. Meanwhile crack
ers were exploded. regardless of posi-
bic danger to the immense crowd. An
tiquity seemed revived, but the prosaic
present was represented by brigadier
of police, who calmly enjoyed from a
balcony the misfOrtunes of the devOtees.

Strength Of Gibraltar.

LoluOu leltSf apn.
Until you set your foot on Gibraltar
you can form no idea of its impregna-
bility. Very properly its real strength
cannot be seen from ship in the bay;
only when you land do you find that the
sea wall bristles with heavy guns and
grOans beneath piles of ball; only as
you traverse its flank do you see how
formidable breech leaders peep from
every available chink, and powerful
mortars lurk behind every convenient
embankment. And not until YOU pene-
trate the body of the rock do YOU get
any just notion of the marvellous piece
OF military engineering exhibited in its
galleries" These are tunnels excava-
ted in the solid rock, parallel to its out
er side, but some thirty feet therefrom,
and large enough to drive a carriage
through. They are in two tiers. and
comprise total length of nearly three
miles. AT every thirty feet or so along
them spacious embrasures are outhewn
that terminate in commanding port
holes, which look to spectators outside
the rocky walls, like swallows nests, in
sand cliff. These embrasures contain
heavy guns, always ready for action,
with powder magazines hard bv. From
the portfolios beautiful peeps of the
bay and the Spanish country are obtain
ed; out of those on the north side YOU
look down on half sandy, half grassy
fiat, perhaps half mile long, and as
wide or wider. connecting the rock with
the mainland and separating the bay
from the Mediterranean. Two lines of
Gentry boxes, one at the rock endethe
other at the distant end, mark the botin-
daries of British and Spanish land, and
between these two lines is the neutral
ground" The guns of the quarried
embrasures and those hidden cannon
that stud the western and southern
slopes of the rock, cover the neighbor-
ing Spanish land, the whole of the bav
and the straits, and the Strengthening
work is ever going on by the fortifica-
ton of new points that from time to
time appear vulnerable. The eastern
side Of the rock requires no protection;
it is aforbidding wall, with great sand
slope in one place, but with no foofhold
OF anything more than few fisher
mems huts near the waters edge.

Intelligent Horses.

Chambers Journal.
have my opinion, founded upon close
and vaIIe1 observation, that horses can
and do convey to each other very exact
intelligence by the various sounds they
produce, from the proud, sonOrios neigh
ings of a full-spirited horse, down to the
whinHyingS and snOrtings and other lit
tie sounds with which all keepers of
horses are familiar. Once in along sta
bic containing 20 stalls in a row, a
horse at the one end was dying. Near
the other end was a horse of a timid
disposition, which showed marked signs
of dread and extreme nervousness, as
though conscious of what was going on,
trembling from head to foot and stream
ing with perSpiratiOn. | feel convinced
that intelligence of what was passing
had reached this horse and that, being
OF nervous temperament. the poor ami
NAL had been troubled to the painful
extent we bad witnessed. Another ex-
ample of different kind. 1t often hap
pened that l was away from the compa-
ny for weeks and months at a stretch
and on some of the occasions l had to
return along the road by which the cir
Gus was coming, thus meeting the vans
one after another all down the line.
When yet there was some distance be-
tween my horse and the nearest van,
my horse would scent or see the head
van horse and salute him with a loud
neigh. This would at once be an
swered by the van horse, which seemed
to pass the signal to the rear down the
line, where it was taken up from horse
to horse to the very end, perhaps three
quarters of a mile away. Then, as went
rapidly by and met the vans, each horse
would turn toward mine as he passed,
greeting him with a friendly and joyous
neigh, apparently holding a short con-
versation in passing, as though welcom-
ing each other after separation. For
it must be noted that it was only after
long absence that such demonstrations
took place.

Thus it mattered not what a nonsenical
thing the leader did, all were forced to
do likewise. Should brainless man or
woman be chosen leader, and the less
brains they have the better dancers they
are as rule, the suffering is intense to
some who take part in the same. 1t is
no wonder then there are less dancing
men. There are good many left, how
ever though not enough to 90 around.
When society men find that the party
they are invited to is to be a dancing
party, they just politely decline. At a
recent dancing party there were eight
ladies present to each man. They gave
the men so much dancing that they were
punished considerably, rs they deserved
to be. Since then some of them have
announced that they had enough of
dancing and wanted to be excused from
any more of it this season. The dane
ing men found that in many cases they
were required to dance with lot of
women whose ages had reached that
point where they could be called with
degree of certainty grandmothers. The
young society lady does not dane as
much as did her predecessors. The col
leges where forty young ladies have
been taught in the last few years hav9
a way of instilling into their graduates
that dancing after all is not the, or
should not be the chief ambition of
women; and that a man, it matters not
how good a dancer or piano-player he is,
# he has no other qualifications, should
be Stunned. This kind of education
has had terrible effect upon dancing
parties. The result is that the modern
young lady as well as the modern young
man don't take much dancing in their
amusement. When they want to see
dancing they prefer to have sorle one
dance for them, as baseball clubs now
hire men to play forth instead of play
ing themselves as they did when the game
was introduced, or 90 to theater where
professional dancers can be seen. 1t is
not the young society ladies who are
crying over the disappearance of the
dancing man, but those who in early
life learned nothing except how to enjoy
what is mistakably called social pleas
ures. The society lady of the past and
many still living know little else than
society matters. The modern society
lady can tell the name ct least if not
anything of the contents, and often she
knows it all, of the latest historical,
scientific or political work which has
been issued. She can talk of what is
going on around her, and has a pretty
good idea of public affairs. The decay
ing society woman knew nothing but
society. People who don't know any
thing of the matter will deny this in toto,
but the facts remain as | state them.

How to Be Nobody.

1t is easy to be nobody, and we will
tell you how to do it. Go to the drink
ing saloon to spend your leisure time.
You need not drink much now-just a
little beer or some other drink. In the
meantime, play dOminoes. or something
else to kill time. so that you will besure
not to read any useful books. If you
read anything, let it be the cheap novels
of the day; thus 60 on keeping your
stomach full and your head empty, and
yourself playing time-killing games, and
in few years you will be nobody, un-
less you should turn out a drunkard, or
a professional gambler, either of which
is worse that nobody. There are any
number of young men hanging around
bar-parlOrs, just ready to graduate and
be nobodies.

ca, with the exception of diamonds. 1t
is said that the value of diamonds fiuc
tuates less than that of any other pre-
cious stone, and that they therefore
recommend themselves to the practical
masculine mind as an investment, and
that this is the real reason our women
wear diamonds so exclusively. This is
to be regretted, as the diamond, from
its excessive brilliancy and hardness of
light, is not becoming to many wo-
men. To the blue. eyed. the sapphire.
or even the inexpensive turquoise, is Of
ten far more harmonious and decora-
tive. A little pale women in flashing
diamonds is absurd; the silent pe3rl, the
dull, soft turquoise, the evasive, mystic
rious opal, even the little moon-stone, a
green chalcedony, the topaz, an anne
thist with a velvet surface for finish
(what the French call defdcee), even
amber, or pale tea-colored cOral-all
these as ornaments ssare becoming to
ninety-nine women, where the diamond
is becoming to the one-hundredth. Let
us emancipate ourselves from imasin-
ing a thing beautiful because it is cost
ly, or beautiful as an ornament because
it is beautiful in itself, or ornamental in
the dress of one person because it is so
in the dress of ano her.
We knew once a charming little lady
who, being in very moderate circum-
stances, dressed in such simple mate
rials as she could easily procure-in
winter often in soft gray woolens, in
summer in light-colored muslins, with a
white scarf, a straw bonnet, with the
plainest pale ribbon neatly tying it
| down Her complexion was like a
wild rose, and with her soft, fair hair
and blue eyes, her figure delicate even
to the point of fragility, no dress could
have been more cOquettish and exquis-
lily appropriate. Later her husband
came into a fortune. She eagarlv
adopted heavy velvets, beneath whose
weight she seemed to totter, diamonds
of great size and brilliancv. They
made her at once plain woman; and
as her freshness began to fade, we
wondered how we could ever have
thought her exquisitely pretty; and
it seemed to us that with soft lace
and the tender dullness of pearls, with
grapes of gray or white as material for
her gowns, even faded she would have
been charming.

Railroad Monopoly.

Sy II. ID. LLOYD. IN Marcn Atlantic.
When Comod0re Vanderbilt began
the world he had nothing. and there
were no steamboats, or railroads. He
was thirty-five years old when the first
locomotive was put into use in America.
When he died, railroads had become
the greatest force in modern industry,
and Vanderbilt was the richest man of
Europe or America, and the largest
owner Of railroads in the world. He
used the finest business brain of his day
and the franchise of the state to build
up kingdom within the republic, and
like king he bequeathed his wealth
and power to his eldest son. Bancroft 5
history of the United States and our
railroad system were begun at the same
time. The history is not yet finished,
but the railroads owe on stocks and
bonds 81 600, 100000, more than twice
our nOtional debt of q, $50, 900, 900, and
tax the people annually 1890, 900, 900,
one and half times more than the GOV

Horses i'm New York.

There are about $4,000 of them il

are well cared for, and are not driven
to death along the street to the endan-
gering of human life. They 90 slowly
and carefully along. So that you are not
in danger of being run over at the
crossings. In the more crowded parts
of Broadway there is always a stalwart
policeman to escort aides across The
streets. But the animals seem to be
almost as careful as the policemen, and
it Is said if horse happens to fall down
he lies there as still as if he were asleep
until they come to pick him up. Mich
of the good behavior toward horses and
other animals is due to the vigilance of
the society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals.
