Horses Travelling Unshod.

Whether shoeing is necessary or NOT
remains to be tested to the satisfaction
of the majority. Some believe that
shoes can not be dispensed with on the
cobble-stones of the cities. but are in
clined to the opinion that shoes are not
altogether necessary on soft, sandy or
light. grayelly roads. In Chicago q
gentleman neglected to shoe his horse
and allowed it to work on the cobble-
stones. At first the feet became some
what sore and the hoofs cracked and
seemed very brittle. In time, how
ever the hoofs began to harden in
texture. became caIlous to the hard
usage, until now the owner declares he
would not use shoes again under any
circumstances. just here we desire to
call attention to the subject. II the
feet, by direct contact with the earth,
improve and the tenderness and brittle
ness of the hoof is changed, it may be
possible that those who have attempted
to work their horses unshod have be.
come alarmed at what they supposed
lameness, wheE little patience would
have demonstrated the method as feast.
BILE. ANY one who is accustomed to
wearing shoes finds it very inconven-
lent to walk barfooted for few days.
but after q short time the feet become
insensible to substances with which they
come in contact, and one then easily
manages to walk on the stones. gravel,
in the sand, water. or even upon sharp
substances, without the least difficulty.
Thus il may be with horses when the
shoes are removed. They will find
walking awkward and the feet may be-
come sore, but after lapse of time
they will be able to pull over the worst
kind of roads. So far as our own opin-
ions are concerned, we have not given
the matter test; but the experience OF
those who have tried working horses
without shoes can not be ignored. II
will be hard to convince most persons
that shoeless horses are able to en-
dure the hard cobble-stones, but that
horses may work upon good country
roads is within the limit Of possibility.
1t would not be troublesome expert
ment II farmers should put the matter
to test by leaving the shoes off one OF
two for comparison. If we could worb

SuAKIM, February 13.-Small parties

menace the garrison. A spy has re-

the accommodating party of hussars and
Egyptians was attacked on the Sd inst.
The hussars got as far as Handoub with
cut opposition, but having on their way
out burned native village without rea-

at Hesheim, which is about three miles
from Handoub. The attacking party
law in ambush, and the Arab fire was
SO terrible that the hussars could not
face it, and saved themselves from
humiliation by retreating at full gallop
to the rear to Suakim. Eight hussars
and three Egyptians were lost. Colonel
Neeman, commanding at Suakim, in re-
porting that incident stated that the
officer in command of the hussars had
exceeded his authority in ordering the
burning of the Arab village. Spies were
at once sent out to ascertain the fate of
the missing troopers. The spy who re-
turned could learn nothing, but he
found in the desert near the fight,
several articles of clothing which EVIL
IDENTIFY belonged to the missing men.
The spy fetched these articles to Suakim,
all pierced as If by spears. The spy re-
ports that he found the enemy en-
camped at Hesheim.

Guarding Against Dynamiters.

LONDON, February 12.-The recent
dynamite explosion in the House of
Commons demonstrated the fact that
under existing rules governing the adj
mission of strangers to the galleries and
Iobbies of the houses of parliament, it
will be an easy matter for dynam1ters
to convey exp losives into the buildings
dur Ag the session of Parliament, and
cause the death of many of its mem
bers. The government has decided to
adopt more stringent rules regulating
the admission of visitors. Members of
Parliament in future will not be allowed
to introduce strangers into the galleries
and lobbies. The Speaker of the House
of Commons will alone have the right
of granting tickets of admission to yisi-
tors and he will only issue tickets to
members for their friends after having
received a weeks notice, so that in the
meantime the antecedents of the pro-
posed visitors can be inquired into.
Turnstiles will be erected at the entrance
to the galleries and lobbies, and ex-
perienced detectives be posted at each
of the turnstiles to carefully scruitinize
strangers.
