ABOUT HoRsEsHoEs.
Faults At Ordinary shoes, Which Contract
the Heels aud spoil the Gait.

Any one who will take the trouble to ex-
anime, even casually, the anatomy Of the
horses foot will see that the frog is a wedge
OF elastic tissue fitted for conclusion. Each
time ii pounds the earth II spreads the hoof
laterally by reason OF its shape, for it is not
only wedge anteroposteriorly, but also
vertically. IL is fitted for conclusions as
perfectly as is the sole Of the dog or the cat.
We know II is a moot point among even
good horsemen as to whether In shoeing
frog pressure should be courted or avoided.
Experience, we believe, will be in SAVIOR of
frog pressure, and both anatomy and COM
mon sense are on its side. The frog liz pre-
cisely fitted, as we have said, for such pres
sure, and even our stony street payements
do but harden and develope the frog just as
the bare-footed boy had his foot-sole tough
ened. Xenophon tells us in his school for
horsemen that colts brought up on dry,
stony soils never need protection.
The ordinary shoe, with heel aud toe
cork, lifts the foot-sole from the ground and
prevents such frog pressure. But, as rule,
such horses have more or less contracted
heels and have not long, free stride. Their
gait is "groggy.' Take of such shoes and
put on the Goodenough or similar shoe,
and it is remarkable to see how their gait
improves and how the heel expands In
the winter time, owing to the ice, 1t is neces.
saly to shoe them with corks say two OF
three times; nil the rest of the year the
Goodenough, applied cold, is by far the
best shoe We speak after considerable ex-
perience. Medical Nsioa

HOW A JUDGE CROSSED A STREAM.


Well, we were riding along the road one
chilly day in November, talking about court
business and legal talent, when we struck
small stream that appeared TO be about thir-
ty yards wide. Hello" said Judge Nor
ton, Of Missouri, T" this is new stream to
me. How shall we cross it 2" Taking adj
vantage of his ignorance, pretended to
survey the situation, and after emerging
from the thicket solemnly inquired, "Judge,
can You swim ?" "Like fish, he replied,
while his eyes twinkl.d in the expectation
of displaying his ability in that direction.
~ can't" said !, $50 suppose you strip of
and swim across, testing the depth as you
go, and give me the advantage Of your ex-
perience." GAN right" he said, dismount-
ing from his horse. Then he removed all
his clothing, tied them together, placed them
safely ,between his teeth and started eau
tiously into the creek. choked my hand
kerchief into my mouth to keep from laugh
ing, while the Judge gravely waded across
through exactly four inches Of water; but
you would have died to see his look of unut-
terable disgust when he reached the opposite
bank. His feet were blue with mud but his
ankles were scarcely touched by the water.
II was three straight days before he spoke
to me again. "-Anscdote By General JONES

HOUSES IN RuENos Ayes.
How the Building. Are Erected and Arrange
ed in south America.


The houses Of Buenos Ayres are often Of
but one story, seldom more than two stories
in height. Their walls of brick, covered
with pale yellow stucco, are ornamented
with colored tiles or arabesques on the cor
nices and about the windows. The windows
of the sdla, or parlor, look directly upon the
the street, and their broad mahogany shut
ters are continually brushed by the passers-
by. What wonder that the young Argentine
has such "gone" expression at times,
when from behind such secure screens or
openly from balcony above the dark SOUTH
ern eyes are forever firing such deadly
volley upon him? A high arched portal,
called the sagnan, serves as entrance to the
dwelling, sometimes closed by heavy doors
Of fine native woods that would excite the
envy Of our cabinetmakers But this is q
land where even the country hedgeposts are
Of the rich uyuaday, kind Of mahogany.
while the white pine Of ths North Is very
valuable. The sagssan leads iatota large
patio--a court open 70 the sky, and often
paved very prettily with tessellated floor
VI pVnbhou uihfpic tnut fciects every H8ut
and shade. The patio is the centre of the
Argentine home, and some houses have two
or three OF them opening into one another
through zaguans frescoed in blue and gold.
Here win always be placed two or there
specimens Of rare palms or curious Southern
pines in terra Gotta pots and in many
marble fountain throws up It's spray and
FLASHES softly in the noon stiffness. On the
second floor the sleeping rooms open upon a
wide corridor that surrounds and looks down
upon the patio. Here Towering vines run
along the balustrade and climb the pillars
that support the roof Such sunshine and
cool shadows play here And such color
The serene blue overhead, the yellow walli
bathed in sunlight, and the green, feathery
spray of pine and palm. The great surly
parrot that perches in his ring in the corridor
and wakes to scold in polyglot, seems but an
accent to the prevailing green and gold
everywhere. A dreamy stiffness reigns
almost unbroken. Even in our hotel the
qarcons moved about in slippered feet, the
maid in the corridor hushed the child in her
arms in low crouching tones, and when the
young English commercial traveller sudden
ly began whistling strain from the "Pir-
ates of Penzance," it seemed absolutely
sacrilegious. eas ai a8ai

SILLY HOTEL scRlBBLRRs.

"Scribblers," said hotel clerk the other
day, are among the many nuisances We
have to encounter. They infest the reading
room and waste our stationery; they write
all over the blotters; they fill waste baskets
with scratched envelopes; they write on the
walls, the doors, the advertising books, the
bills Of fare, and even in the Bibles The
young married couples are fond Of scrawling
their names. The bride plays with her new
name as with toy. She likes to write II and
to seeit written |; and the bridegroom, having
little else to do, humors her. I could show
yeu fifty window panes with names and ini-
tials scratched in this way with diamond
rings. The idiots and vandals often leave
their addresses in this way, und Il we could
prove that they wrote them, wecould sue for
damages. l have seen q costly plate-glass
mirror marred BY some Needless seribblerss
diamond ring. It takes at least ono day
each week for servant 10 scrub Oh as

FACTS ABOUT EARRINGS.
Interesting Pecuiiarities Relating to the
Ornaments and Their Use.


1t is, fortunately, an obsolete custom to
wear rings through the lips and in the nose.
do not know why we should have main-
tanned the fashion of wearing earrings An
English anthropologist has discovered that
the custom was derived from the worship of
the sun. In our time, at least the fashion
has no idolatrous character. 1t is now but
a conventional adornment, against which
reaction, when II comes, will be much easier.
The matter concerns the father of families.
They have only to forbid the piercing of the
ears of their young daughters, and soon the
fashion would fall into desuetude. For my
part think these costly ornaments mar the
beauty of well made ear; and as pretty
ears are by no means common, earrings
inconveniently attract attention to ears which
might to better advantage be concealed.
Perhaps It may be urged that in such case
they afford an agreeable relief, and that the
jewel is more observed than the ear which
wears it. Well, there are few evils that do
not serve some good purpose. Among
many savage tribes this ornament is reserved
to the male sex. In the Pelew islands the
men pierce one ear only, the women both
ears. One may yet see a. ing our coasts
sailors who wear rings of gold in the ears
but the custom has never become general,
and is even now disappearing The ladies
Of our day have maintained the fashion
within tolerable limits One seldom sees,
nowadays, earrings so elongated that they
would pass muster for antique vases. The
elongation of the ear does not appear to be
desired, although this deformity inevitably
results under certain conditions of the tissues
of the ear-lobe, which, in some cases, may
support with IMMUNITY relatively heavy
weight in the other cases it develops
immoderately, and in other cases it has been
known to be torn outright. A lady of my
acquaintance, subject to frequent attacks of
erysipelas in the face, was compelled to
abandon the wearing of earrings because the
irritation produced by the ring brought on
recurrence of the disease. DIR. Saint-vel
mentions an affection of the lobe of the ear
produced by earrings--a sort OF tumor,
which increased in intensity after washing
the face. The disease is found more par
ticularly among negresses. II was more
particularly among the aboriginal Americans
that the fashion of wearing absurdly long
earrings existed. The Peruvians wore them
down to the shoulders, and similar customs
have been noted elsewhere. Cook records
the TACT that among the inhabitant of the
lie de Paques the ears we're pierced with
holes sufficiently large to admit of the intro
duction o. the Eve fingers. This dlation
was obtained by leaf rolled tightly and
inserted into the opening, and when the Or
naments were withdrawn the ears hung
down the back like rags. 1t appears that
the inhabitants of the island in question
have had the good sense to abolish this
foolish custom.

BURGLARS AND SNEAK THIEVES. The
Troy Times " Hermit" energies from his den
10 say: "The practiced hotel thief is q
man of fine appearance, who mingles easily
with the guests, and soon knows who makes
the finest display of jewelry and diamonds.
He watches his opportunity, and the first
idea of his existence is found in some skillful
depreciation. Before the alarm can DO CIV
en-, however, he Is Of with his plumber. AL

their carpet-bags are Immediately emptied
at the receivers The latter Commonly
termed the fence) melts up plate and also
watch casir gs. Diamonds are removed from
rings and other settings, which are also melt
ed. The thief does well to get one-quarter
the value of gold, but he cannot expect ono
tenth that OF diamonds, which are not easily
sold. Any man indeed offering such prop
erty for sale is liable to suspicion unless 4
be pawnbrokers, who are protected by their
trade, and yet they are often the most hard
ened receivers"

CHASED BY A CROCODILE.

The movements of the crocodile on land.
when in danger, are, according to Humboldt,
Hill, and Gosse, totally different from those
of the alligator, whose clumsy gait is famil-
lar to all. They stand with their bodies off
the ground, erect upon their legs, and mako
their attacks by successive jumps. That
this method of attack is eficacious is shown
by the experience Of a priest, as related by
Ms. Hill; The large savanna rivers in
Spanish Hayti flow through wide but gently
descending borders, carpeted with grass,
and interspersed with thickets and cIumps
of Towering shrubs and forest trees. The
grass has all the clean yerdure of n lawn,
and the clumps the variety and arrange
ment of ornamental strawberries, and the
earth is deep aud loany. These are favor
ito sporting grounds. Besides being YER
dant and beautiful, they are VIGOROUSLY the
game country. My friend and his compan-
ions had divided themselves, trusting to the
crack of their fowling pieces to ascertain
each others whereabouts. When they had
finished their days sport the descending sun
was already struggling through the length
ening shadows on the river. The friends
assembled where they had parted in the
morning, but the Spanish priest had not yet
come in. No one had heard his gun from
the time they had separated. They sought
him through the darkening thickets and
along the stream, and found him at last,
fast seated in a tree into which he had been
obliged to betake himself to escape croco-
die that had pursued him by succession of
leaps. II had run in pursuit OF him, as he
said, jumping rapidly after him, with its
back crooked like frightened cat. He had
sprung to the branches and gained their se-
curity out of the reach of the reptile who.
for long time after he had got into the
rec, crouched in thicket close by, where II
quietly watched and waited his descent from
his retreat"

A PET SPIDER.

Esau was not a male; he was o lady
One day, while feeding the beast, noticed
that the den in the corner had been extend
ed into passage with two openings, and in
the passage wall was o spot thicker and more
Opaque than the rest of the building This
surmised was deposit of eggs, and I
afterwards found that I was right. Still, /
had named tho animal and, on the princi-
pie of the parson who insisted on christen-
ing the little girl John, I adhered to the
original appellaton. Hitherto the spider
had discovered none of the attributes pro-
verbal to her sex, and I did not feel JUST
fed in naming her Lucy or Maria There
were warm days that year, when the air
smeled of clover and flies came out plent.-
fully, and Esau was fed on all available in
scots that had wings. The house fly was
her staple food, although she regarded small
moths as delicacies, and thought midges and
small gnats were toothsome articles Of Diet
but her soul loathed bluebottles They were
to her what caviare and absinthe are TO the
uneducated. If q bluebottle was put into
her net, she bound IL down with many
strands Of cobweb and killed 10, and before
the animal had ceased to culver, cast II from
her web with evident repugnance. Beetles
she did not care for, as they broke her web,
but money-spinners she tolerated. Daddy
long legs fell an easy prey to her, although
she did not relish them That I know, be-
cause she never took their carcases to her
cave. By way of a treat I once offered her
a small earthworm. 1t wriggled and
writhed, heightened itself and shortened
itself, assumed the shape Of a corlSscrew,
and tied itself up into knots. Esau sought
refuge in her house, and stuck her head out
to watch the strangers naneuvres At
first she was as still as possible; then there
was an oscillatory movement of the pslpi
She generally did that when she was getting
up her pluck. Then she made rapid rush
to within an inch Of the worm and recon-
noitred again. She was not satisfied, and
retired second time to think the matter
out. The worm, in the meantime either
got tired of struggling or else philosophically
arrived at the conclusion that he could make
himself as comfortable in a cobweb as in
any other place. The period Of rest was
fatal Esau darted on her prey and stuck
her mandibles into him. vainly did the
worm try to charm the enemy by tickling
her by the end Of his tail. Issau held on
like wise. The worm. tried to oncircle her
body with furtive gyrations. Esau had no
inclination TO play at LAGOON, and eiuded
the strategy Of her prey. That worm gave
in. began to get tired of my pet She
was getting fat. and the fatter she grew the
more ferocious she became. / sought
another spider, and found one smaller than
the ono 1 possessed. 70 my mind il was Of
the same species, but from its size imag-
ined it was q male. / will be the histor-
ian Of the loves Of spiders" said. " Their
domestic happiness should be moral to
mankind Two spiders together will give
me an opportunity of making fresh observa-
dons."-G entIsma'1s Aagazins.
