HOW HORSES LOSE SHOES.

knowed it was going" and a.driver on
West Madison street car put on the brakes,
tied the lines to the dashboard, and went
back of the car. He returned in "a moment
with horseshoe in his hand and threw it
on the platform. He then lifted up the
foot of the off horse and critically examiu-
ed the hoof. He then returned to the plat
form and again muttered as he loosenei
Inc brake, Il knowed it,
s'What is the matters" inquired Herald
reporter.
He looked steadily ahead and finally
answered: s'Lost four shoes to-day"
Inquiry developed the fact that over 500
shoes had been torn from the horses boots
during the last few days. The cause of
these series of accidents is the new granite
block pavement which the West Division
Railway Company aas laid on Madison
street between Clark and the bridge. The
recent rains have loosend the earth between
the blocks and the result is that crack is
left, in which the high calks of the shoes
fit, and the shoes are torn from the horses
feet. None of the horses have been much
injured, as the wet weather renders the
hoof soft; consequently they have not
cracked when the shoes have been torn off
A large number of the shoes were picked
up by boys, and few were recovered by
men who were sent out by the company tt
pick them up. The company will be
obliged to shoe its horses with round shoes
or else repair the pavement.

N0rr0so Escapes.

One or two cases of very narrow escapes
from death Ply bullet occur to me Dur
ing the Kaffir war which have already
alluded to I several times accompanied
large parties of troops sent out to inter
cept or pursue bodies of the enemy, or to
destroy kraals or capture cattle. We never
succeeded in intercepting or overtaking
Kaffirs unless they were in strong parties
and desired to fight, and as we marched
along by day the Kaffirs, in loose order and
in parties of two or three, would hang upon
our flank and rear, showing themselves up
on the high ground but keeping out of
range of our muskets. One night four of
us were sitting cross-legged round a little
fire on which we had put our coffee-kettle
to boil, and as we thus sat report, follow
ed by tho ping of bullet close over our
heads, warned US that Kaffirs were prowl-
ing about. This was followed by several
more shots, which Struck the ground quite
close to US, but we were tired and cold and
hungry. having had no food all day. and
we were unwilling to lie down to sleep on
the bare groung with empty stomachs
We, therefore, determined, in spite of dan
ger, to keep the fire burning until the cof-
fee was ready; and to hurry this. one of us
stopped down to blow the fire with his
mouth, when another shot settled the MAJ:
ter, for a bullet, passing between two of us
smashed the kettle and scattered the en-
beers about the head of:the one who was
blowing the fire. How close the bullet pass.
ed to his head may be imagined, for ii
touched his hair. There was nothing to be
done but to stamp all the embers out, rol
ourselvs in our cloakes and light our pipes
to keep down the cravings of hunger. At the
relief Of the residency of Lucknow the col
onel of my rgiement had two very narrow
escapes. AS he was cantering from one
position to another, the motion of the horse
raised him out of his saddle every now and
then. and just at the moment when he was
raised out of the saddel a bullet passed be-
low him, tearing the leather open along the
whole seat of the saddle. Had he been sit
ting still in the saddle he would have been
horribly wounded. Shortly after another
bullet struck the handle of his revolver,
which was in a pouch attached to his sword
belt. and but for the revolver he would have
received a mortal wound.

An Extraordinary Book.

Solomon says, "Of making books
there is no end and much study is a
WEAKNESS of the flesh"
This first reflection is emphatically
true of our age, and the second would
be equally just were we compelled to
read all the works offered us.
A good book has been described as
"One that leaves you farther on than
when you took it up; when you drop
it, it does not drop you down in the
same old spot, but leaves you with a
finer outlook, a clearer vision and a
stimulated desire for that which is bet
ter and higher
This definition is applicable to 'PRAc-
TIcAL LIFE, new work advertised in
another column, a copy of which we
have Just received from the publishers,
and which we take pleasure in bringing
to the notice of our readers as one en-
inently worthy of being read and stud
led by those who would make the most
of themselves in fighting the great bat
tie of life.

The CENTURY FOR JULY.-The July
CENTURY opens with frontispiece
portrait of Emerson from the bust by
Daniel C. French, which is thought to
be most satisfactory representation of
the philosopher in his later vigor;
"Emerson's Personality" by Emma
Lazarus, lis readable; the illustrated
papers include two of decided interest
at this time-''The Evolution of the
American Yatcht," and "The Horse
in Notion" John Muir's "Bee-Pas-
lures of California" is very interesting.
OF the unillustrated material-the most
prominent is third and last part of
Thomas Carlyle's "Tour in Ireland"
The fiction is especially readable this
month-Mr. HowelPs "Modern In
stance" and "Damming the Sacra.
mento," by Joaquin Miller, are inter-
esting. The poetry is good, and the
"Departments" are up to the usual
standard of excellence. Century Co.,

SAVING Coal AsnEs.-There are
many good uses for coal ashes which
readily suggest themselves, but one
which we saw recommended recently is
worth remembering. 1t reads thus:
at pays well to pass coal ashes
through fine sievc-a flour sieve for
instance. This sittcd ashes, when per-
fectly dry, is one of the best substances
with which to mix London purple,
Paris green or helleborc for the destruc.
ton of potato beetles, fruit slugs, cur
rant and gooscberry worms and like.
Being lighter than plaster or -four, it
does not fall so quickly, but settles up
on every part Of the plant-the stem,
the under part Of the leaf as well as the
upper part. 1t may be said also that it
adhcres to leaves for a longer time, and
is not so readily washed off by the
rains.

TIE Future OF ALASKA. With
comparatively mild climate throughout
the Archipelago, with most valuable
ship-building timber covering the
islands, with cedar that now sells for
one hundred and fifty dollars thou
sand feet in Sitka, with splendid har-
bors, with ineXhaustiblc fisheries, with
an abundance of coal. and the proba-
bility that veins OF copper. lead, silver,
and gold await the prospector, with the
possibility of raising sufficient garden
vegetables. and with wild cranberry
swamps on nearly every island; with
all these advantages it is surprising
that an Industrious, amphibious, ship
building, fishing colony from New Eng
land, or other States, has not estab-
lishcd itself in Alaska. One drawback
is that Congress has not yet organized
a territorial government, but when this
region shall have been opened up to
individual enterprise and settlement. it
will then be discovered that Alaska is
a valuable possession.- Lieut.. c. +.

WINNING AND LOSING.

Ha ha Ia I'll he such joke.
And Richard Strout gave himself an
approving wink as he stood before the
glass in admiring contemplation of II
complicated bow-knot, accomplished ut
the expense of vast mental effort and
the crush and ruin of half dozen era
watts.
II was the evening of Mrs. Dazzlit's
ball. All Antequam-at least all the
fashion of it-would be there, and Mr..
Richard Strout had gotten himself up
with special reference to outshining
even his own brilliant self. He was
the escort of Miss Coryphe Wellmet,
the beauty of Antequma and only
daughter of q rich retired banker, who
might any day succumb to a benignly
providential stroke Of apopleXy.
In the race in which the stake was
the lady aud her fortune, Richard
Strout was sure he had the inside track.
1t was plain to his eyes, that she was
deeply smitten--how could she help it,
for that matter? Wasn't he, the afore.
said Richard, simply irresistible? He
hadn't just popped the question yet, but
there was plenty Of time for that. He
would do it in due season, and, when
she did, he had no misgivngs as to
what would be the answer. Having
the fish already securely hooked, like a
true Waltonian he would enjoy playing
with it awhile.
But what was the joke Mr.. Strout
was contemplating jointly with the
wonderful bow of his cravat? Let him
unfold it to Miss Coryphc himself as
they meet in her fathers front parlor
preparatory to starting for the ball.
See here, Corric, he said, touching
her elbow with finger miraculously
gloved.

.What is it, most noble Dick?'

Must begin now?' she asked with
a roguish look, which seemed to init
mate that the subject to be operated on
might not be a thousand miles away.
'Ha ha! laughed Richard, not
very heartily-'present company, you
know, is excepted. The particular
grizzly on which l would exercise your
docile powers, is not here, but will be
at the ball tonight. You've heard me
mention Bruce Dandridge,' he began.
