The hoof of the horse, when in normal condition, out to be almost perfectly cool to the touch. After hard driving on a beaten road, or ever stones, particularly in dry weather, or when he stands in bed~ ing, little warm til will generally be perceptible; but this should sub- side after two or three hours rest Tn an un5edded stall. If the feet .ap> pear to the hand unusually warm, dIstrusl should be awakened, more especially If there is marked dif~ ference between the temperature of two or more of the feet A simple way of assuring cne's self of the accuracy of the observation, is by washing the hoofs thoroughly and noticing whether any of them dries more rapidly than the others. The feverish foot will always become dry first, and will recover it's unna- tural warmth in a few minutes, while the sound foot will remain cool.-Breeder and Sportsman

The Niece of President Buchanan.

Great wealth and exalted station are no safeguard against the commonest ills that befall humanity. Harriet Lane, the niece of ex-President Buchanan, has lost her husband, Henry E. Johnston, the Baltimore banker. Sorrows have fallen thick and fast upon her in recent years. When I visited at Wheatland more than a year ago, says 8 letter writer, they were then in mourning for their eldest son, James Buchanan Johnston. The other son was convalescing from the same disease that had carried of his brother, and the parents hurried with him to Europe in the hope of saving his life. They had scarcely reached Paris before he, too was dead.
 The parents never recovered from this errible blow. They closed their splen- did home in Park avenue, Baltimore, and the wealth that had been largely expend. ed in hospitality was devoted to chari table purposes. In memory of their boy they founded and endowed the Harriet Lane Johnston Hospital for girls and 6 training school for nurses. Mrs. John. ston withdrew from the society in which she had been most prominent and rarely left the house except on missions of re hgion and mercy. Mir. Johnston failed rapidly in health and retired from the control of the great banking house. Hi death now leaves his distinguished widow lonely indeed. Their sons wer, bright, manly lads, full of mental ant physical vigor. and gave promise O growing into noble manhood.
 The last time I saw Harriet Lane il the streets of Baltimore grief had worl deep lines in that handsome face tha seemed so attractive and so digniaet under its crown of abundant white hair 1 One of her chief solaces in recent year, has been the issuing of Curtis's life O her uncle. She was to him more of daughter than niece. 2

The San Francisco noodlum.

The ordinary street gamin ia a familiar figure in all cities. He is confined Co no country, condition, or creed. He is e. sentiRlly cosmopolite, citizen Of tho world. But San Francisco enjoys the distinction of furnishing a peculiar type of the street gamiu, known as hoodlum. Just why this singular product of acoi- dental civilization should be called hood lum is n difficult question to answer The name, however. seems to have caught the popular fancy, and doubtless has now become part and parcel of our vernaoular. Some people who have not looked into the matter may be inclined to consider the hoodlum "touRh, but this is mistake. While the two have much in common, the "tough" ia always cruelty vicious, but the hoodlum ire- uuentlyis nothing more than asemi-civil. izod dude. The hooilum agrees with all of his cousins in one thing-he will not work. Naturally such idleness causes him to drift into crimo. The entire problem of hoodlums, toughs, gamina, etc, is one of the vexed questions for statesmen to grepple with. The mohs of the future will be largely recruited from the street boys of to.day.-Atlan- "a Consultation.

A Deceptive Voice.

Gen. Strong, of Buffalo. wps wounded upon battlefield. He was struck in the hip (the wound is famous among phyai. cians and surgeons), in a very peculiar way, and lay by n log in great agony all day In the evening, after the battle, he heard the voices of his men calling him from different quarters of the field. "CoL Strong '" they shouted. He re- piled by shouting at the top of his voice; "Here I am r' "Hero I am r Still his men kept shouting; "Col. Strong l' "Col. Strongr Again ho TO. piled with all his might "Here am l'' "Here I am Tho searchcrs cnme nearer, still shouting, "Col. Strong |" Col. Strong always replied "Hero l am !" with all his might At last they were within three feet of him. "Hero am ln he shouted. They came nearer, but in a slow, uncertain way. Finally one of them leaned over tho log, flashing his lantern light full on the prostrate man. "Why, here's the Colonel now, !" he said to his companions in tones Of surprise. So they gathered him up and carried him to the hospital AS soon as he was we'll enough, he asked the man who found him on tho battlefield why ho had not come to him at once when he heard him shouting, "Hcre I am r ''We didn't hear you, sir, !" said tho sol- dier, until we leaned over the log, and then we heard you whisper in scarcely audible tones Here am.'

While Che fire was burning near tho bank of Hazel run he says it occurred Co him that he ought Co unhitch his horse and shelter himself behind a tree near by from some danger he knew not of at the time. This thought so impressed itself upon him that he did unhitch md took . stand near the tree. He had been there but few minutes when loud explosion took place, followed by another and another in rapid succession until tho eleventh one had taken place. John says he was terribly frightened, and for somo time pieces of shells and balls, etc, tcll all around him. 1t is supposed that a pile of shells was left there during the war
 and had never been found and when this fire reached them they were all en- ploded.

Who Pays for It.

Speaking about getting married, Rar- per'S BtJzdr says: It is not etiquette for the groom to furnish anything for his own wedding but the ring and a bouquet for the bride, presents for the bride maids and the best man, and some token to the ushers. He pays the clergyman.
 He should not pay for the cards, the carriages, the entertainment, or any thing connected with the wedding. This is decided in the high court of etiquette. That is the province of the family of the bride, and should be insisted upon. If they are not able to do this, there should be no wedding and no cards. It is bet ter for a portionless girl to go to the altar in travelling dress, and to send out no sort of invitations or wedding cards, than to allow the groom to pay for them. This is Dot to the disparagement of the rights of the groom. It is simply a proper and universal etiquette.
 At the altar the groom, if he is a mil lionaire, makes his wife his equal by saying: "With all my worldly goods I thee endow"; but until he has uttered these words she has no claim on his purse for clothes, or cards, or household furnishing, or anything but those arti- cles which come under the head of such gifts as it is lover's province to give.
 A very precise, old-time aristocrat of New York broke her daughters engage. ment to gentleman because he brought her dress from Paris. She said, if he did not know enough not to give her daughter clothes while she was under her roof, he should not have her.
