Opposed to tho shoeing of Horses.

"A physician argues in the New York
Eycning Post against the shoeing of
horses. An animal or hia own which
was constant source Of trouble and ex.

his shoes, and, after being kept in field
three weeks, used on tho road. At 6rst
he picked his way along, but in month
he went over everything better chan
when shod. He never was lame again,
and when the roads were icy he was pre-.

Tho True Meaning OF C. O. ID.

A man who had not been long in this
country was employed as domestic in
Q family, and upon one occasion he was
sent to the express office to obtain q
package. He was about to leave with it
when the clerk called his attention to
the three letteB'C. .. ID.
Pat had no idea hat the letters meant,
but he cleverly guessed at them.
TITS all right" he said; "the ovid
mans good for the money"
"But you know what these letters say,
Pat"
"Indade do. Call On Dad. It's as
plain as me nose on your face"
There is almost pathetic truth in the
understanding conveyed in this old story.
Many man is bounded to death by the
unreasonable calls made upon him by
the members of his frmily who are edu.
Gated up TO this very end by himself at
gence which the American father dis
plays towards his offspring, as if it was
some kind Of an unthiDkiDg, mechanical
pet, and afterwards on the unfailing
principle that they who SOW the wind
will reap the whirlwind.
Call on dad.
Duslness ls uulI, notes must DE nef,
but appearances must be kept up. Mrs.
Shoddy is going to the seashore. "Our
gifls' must go; the money is TO come
out Of dad"
AT first he refuses firmly, but az one
reason after another is brought to bear on
him like batleriug ram of persuasion,
he gives way. New bonnets and dresses
arc bought, railway journey expenses
betrayed, and that is only the beginning.
Incidental expenses are always the straws
that break the patient camel's back.
They accumulate in heaps, stacks, aud
at last rise to the dignity of monument,
under which lies pale, peaceful man,
no longer pursued by the legend:

Red Snow.

A reporter of a Denver paper,
while travelling recently among the
Rockies, found the snow on the top:
of the ranges as red as if it had been
sprinkled with red pepper. Upon
digging down a few inches it appeared
clean and white. He concluded that
the red dust must have been meteoric
iron, and in some way connected with
the recent protracted red sunsets.
Prof. Van Diest of Denver disposes Of
this theory very briefly. SIT could
not have been meteoric iron," he said,
"because iron would by its specific
gravity have sunk beneath the sur.
face of the snow, and, in addition to
this, the color would not have been
red, as it is described to have been,
but it would have been more like
ochre. imagine that the red sub
stance found upon the snow was the
pollen of some flower which had been
carried from distance by the winds.
This has been noticed before, travel
lers in the Arctic regions having
spoken of seeing similar appearances
upon the snow. Examinations have
shown it to be vegetable and not
mineral"

on which the commander leaped from

From the site of this city they marched

as prudent as he was brave he could,
by acquiesing in the advice given
him by the "buckskins,'' as the Vir-
ginia militia were termed, have whip
sawed the French and Indians in that
campaign. But as it is. it is all the
same. FIR he would have been dead

The Mormon Question.

Texas siftings.
An English editor thinks the Unit

the Mormons. There is one very Sc
rious objectian to anybody attacking
the Mormons physically, which is hint
ed at in the following item:
say, mister, asked dirty looking
chap, will that dog bite?
He won't bite you, replied the own
er of the dog; at least wouldn't if
I were the dog. You would have to
wash yourself first.
The Mormons are so filthy, that
they can only be handled with
ont gloves after having been fired out
of q mortar loaded with carbolic acid.
