Why Shoe n Horse.

The Boston Gtobs SAYS that Prof. j.
&. Woods public appearance in Ire
mont temple the other night with his
lecture on the horse attracted spe-
cial audience of several hundred people
who were particularly interested in thai
animal. Mr.. Wood considered the
horse from a scientific standpoint in
great detail, illustrating his subject by
drawings on the blackboard. He said
1t was a remarkable fact that while
people would not think of trusting
valuable machine to the care of any
but an educated mechanic, they are ac-
customed TO permit that much more
intricate machine, the horse, to be
taken charge of by men who were to-
tally ignorant of the animals real
structure or constitution. Nobody
ought to be allowed to have charge of
horse unless, like the driver of a
steam engine, he had passed a previ-
Gus examination, showing his fitness
for the work. The weakest point of
horse was almost invariably in the
hoofs or the forelegs. Examination of
the hoofs of horse disclosed the fact
that they were of the most intricate
structure; while the common ignorance
of the horse-shoer seemed to consider
them as solid lump of horn hung at
the end OF horses leg for the express
purpose OF having an iron shoe nailed
upon it. The only horse of mature age
II had been his fortune to see which
had never worn shoe was the war
horse of the late King Theodore, of
Abyssinia, and the hoof of that horse
was in most perfect state of preser-
walton. The foreleg of a horse was
modified form of the arm of man, and
the hoof but modification of the
hand, with the fingers consolidated
The bottom of the hoof was meant to
be worn away, and as fast as it goes
its place was supplied from above.
Mans "happy thoughts" in the shape
OF expedients to improve on the orioi-
nal hoof have been extremely poor.
An enormous amount of blood is circu-
lated through the hoof for the sole pur-
pose OF supplying the waste; but by
our system of shoeing it is diverted
from its purpose and gives rise to dis
ease. The horse needs no shoe at all.
1t only impairs its usefulness and short
ems its days. 1t was only ignorance
which believed that the horse in its
native state ran on soft turf, whera
shoes were not necessary. The horse
came from Central Asia, from a rocky
and sandy soil, and, if it needed shoeing
at all, would need it in its wild state.
Were it not for shoes, the football of a
horse would be as soft as that of an
elephant. Mr. Woods drawings were
rapid and happy, and he held the care
ful attention and interest of his audi
tors to the close.

Practical Joker in Trouble.

The fool who thinks it is funny to
play a practical joke has come to grief
by so doing in Albany. He was in
dry goods store, and saw a gentleman
whom he recognized as an acquaint-
ance. He stepped up quietly behind
his friend who was standing by the
counter, and took q small package from
his outside pocket. The joke ought to
have come in here, but it didn't. The
clerk saw the affair, and, thinking he
had detected a thief plying his voca-
ton, at once took the supposed culprit
by the collar. The joker explained
his joke, and called on his friend to
help him out of the scrape. But to his
CONSERVATION, the gentleman proved
20 be an utter stranger to hiEs. Every
one decided that the poor joker looked
like hardened thief, and policeman
was at once sent for. After much diff
Guilty. however, the joker convinced
the minion of the law that he was 9
respectable man, and he was released
