SHOEING HORSES.
The Practice Permissible Under Excep.
tional circumstances.

The Practice Permissible Under Excep.
tional Circumstances.
Is the shoeing of horses necessary?
Undoubtedly it is, under certain cir
cumstances, as for instance with horses
used constantly on granite pavements
in the cities, or on macadamized or
gravel roads. But horses that are not
in constant use upon such streets, we
believe are better not shod at all, than
shod as they are now.
To shoe farm horses and keep them
shod as is often done, seems to us to be
the height of folly. To put heavy
shoes on a colt as soon as he is put into
the harness is to take the steps neces-
sary to prevent his feet from becoming
toughened. OF course if put to work
on the road and kept there b%arefooted.
he will get foot sore; but if gradually
worked in, his feet will become accus-
toned even to the hard road and suffer
no inconvenience from constant work
on it. A horse with naturally defect
i've feet must be shod, Just as q child
having weak ankles must wear ankle
braces; but to say that horses generally
should wear shoes is about as sensible
as to say all children ought to wear
ankle braces.
The only reasonable excuse for shoe
ing country horses at all is to prevent
their slipping in the winter. If a horse
has been accustomed to go without
shoes he will be found much less liable
to slip on icy ground than one that has
always worn shoes. There are times
when the ground is so covered with ice
and sleet that a horse could not stand
if unshod, but the time lost by allow
ing horses to remain idle at such times
would not be much worse than that
lost by getting horses calked from be-
ing rough shod. When it is necessary
to shoe n horse, instead of putting on
the customary heavy shoe with long,
sharp toe and heel calks. it would be
much better if a much lighter one be
used, having only a small toe calk to
assist the horse in holding his footing
while drawing a load. A fortune
awaits the inventor who will devise a
horse shoe from some tough but flexi-
Die material, and which can be easily
attached or removed from the foot as
Much of the injury done to
lorses' feet by the ordinary shoe is due

How the Toy-Makers Of Germany Prosper
When Our Boys .Fen-Duhs!"
A few days ago, at the office of the
custom surveyor, a Minute reporter
picked up an item which excited his
curiosity. He was told that Charles
Mayer & Co. paid about $50 duty on
marbles imported from Germany.
AN invoice of marbles" said the re-
porter, ION which the duty amounts
to that much, certainly must contain
enough of these playthings to keep all
the boys in the United States busy for
some time"
WELL said MIR. Mueller, Dcput
tuslom-house Surveyor, "yOu can
count for yourself. The invoice con
slsts of sixty cases, each case contain
ing 1000 gross of marbles
Taking in consideration the differ
ence in the size of the marbles, and
that each case was said to contain l2j, =
900 marbles, this would make the en-
tire invoice consist of about 5000, 900,
or enough to give each school boy in
the United States a marble or two.
But as the firm referred to is not sup
posed to control the entire trade in
the United States, the boys are entitled
to a more liberal supply. If the
stock Just imported were held
for the lndianapoli, boys. a division
would result in each boy getting about
80 marbles. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that this supply would last much
longer than the dozen Or two of mar

INSANITY.

Its Increase in the United States-AstonIsh-
ing Figures.
The increase of insanity in the United
States during recent years is quite
amazing. One is inclined to doubt
whether the figures given car possibly
be correct; but they are officially
authenticated. Statistics show hat in
1865 the number of insane people in the
States was "a, 042, a small percentage.
In five years the number reached 81
432, and in 1880 the figures had grown
to the surprising total of 1859. In
all probability the authorities have had
until lately a careless system of investi-
CATION, and many ~lunatics have es-
capped enumeration. Even allowing Il
liberal margin for this. however, there
seems reason to believe hat insanity
has claimed and is claiming an increas-
ing number of victims. The race of
life is run at agrcater pace than it was,
and the pressure is greater in conse-
quence. Many organizations give way
under the strain. 1t is said that the
increase has been most rapid in the
Western States, but no reason is sug-
and it would be deeply inter
to know why, for the causes
are in force there are doubtless
in force elsewhere. The increase in
insanity during the ten years from 1870
to 1880 was nearly $50 per cent, it is
From 1865 it is still greater,
and, though this is far from a subject
for jest, it may be wondered whether,

The Philosophy Of Disease

The first attempt to explain the phil
osophy of disease and the action of
medicine was made by P~ythagorus in
the year 529 B. c. HippocraIes, the
father of medicine, 1ourished about
422 B. c. Galen, born 1871 A. D., was
the oracle Of medical science. About
9s9 Avicenna, an Arab, wrote a system
of medicine. The dogmatic age of
medicine lasted until the reformation,
when it was attacked by Paracelsus
and Vesalius early in the sixteenth cent
ury. An entirely new system of physi-
and pathological speculation
was furnished in 1923 by DR.. Harvey's
discovery Of the circulation of the
blood; and since 1909 medical practice
has been completely transformed hy
physiological and chemical researches.

tiqation il turned out that the sale
of this kind was where two gangs
of Chinese had made an exchange
OF rooms, one party paying the
other 800 for the others room.
There was one complaint which, II true,
concerns the company very much; we
refer to the charge that the weighing OF
the coal is done with false scales. If this
is true, it must be inferred that the scales
are so arranged as to give an under
weight on the miners work. That is a
Just grievance, and 80 serious is the
charge that it behooyes the company to
investigate it thoroughly. The whole
management OF the mines OF the Union
Pacific Railway Company seems to be
loose and dishonest, as presented by the
miners; and whether correctly presented
or not, there is enough in the charge to
Justify a thorough investigation. All
these complaints OF the coal miners seem
to arise from the wrong doing of white
men who are Immediately in charge OF
the mines, and not from the Chinese at
all, although it was upon them that was
visited the wrath of the miners. One
great cause OF all these troubles is that
the general officers of the roads know too
little of the actual workings OF their roads
and other things connected Herewith, and
rely almost solely upon the reports OF their
subordinates for all their information. II
complaints by employees are made, the
general officers ask their subordinates
what the trouble is, and it is but natural
that those subordinates should lay all the
blame on the employees. Many subor-
dinates who have charge OF large num-
bers Of workingmen have not the faculty
of winning the good will OF the men, al
though they may be good business men
and perfectly honest and capable, and
faithful to the dutiesimposed upon them.
The first requisite for pit boss or sec
ton boss is the faculty OF getting along
with the men under him. OF course men
will work under men who have not this
faculty, but they will always be inclined
to join any movement of discomfort, not
because they have any objection to their
employers in general, or the way in which
they are treated by them, but because
they have special dislike for their i'm
mediate bosses. Many labor troubles
would be avoided if the general officers of
railroads and other huge concerns would
go among their employees and see how
things are going on and not depend upon
reports for all their knowledge OF their
business affairs.

race, but yesterday it was finished, and
finished gloriously for America. The race
was hard fought, and the conditions ofthe
weather were such as have always been
claimed as most favorable to the "Gen-
esta" and detrimental to the Puritan.
But the broad beam and the light draught
style of the Puritan" won over the
"knife-blade" style of the "Genesta."
The international race between the two
yachts is the most interesting that ever
occurred, especially when it is remem-
bered that it is thirty-four years since the
america" won its coveted prize from
whole fleet OF British yachts off Cowes,
England, in 1851 The Americas cup
is now the property OF the New York
Yacht Club, having been presented to
that club under deed Of gift from the
original owners OF the America
upon the condition OF its remaining
perpetual challenge cup, not being the
property of any boat winning match
in which it is prize, but OF the club to
which such boat belongs, and subject to
future competition for its possession. The
cup which the America" won in 1851,
and for which the "Genesta" and "Puri-
tan" have just competed, became the
property OF the owners of the America, I"
as a prize won under the offer of the
Royal Yacht Squadron OF Great Britain,
for which all nations were allowed to
compete 1t is of solid siver, ever
shaped, and elaborately ornamented,
standing two feet high and weighing over
100 ounces. Around the broadest part of
the cup are medallions yariously inscribed,
the first inscription being: Zone hun
dred guinea cup, won August %, 1851,
at Cowes, England, by yacht Amer
lea, at the Royal Yacht Squadron re-
gatta, open to all nations, beating" After
this come the names of all the vessels
which started in the race. On the next
medallion is engraved Schooner Amer
lea, 10 tons, Commodore John G.
Stevens; built by George Storrs, New
York, 1851" On the other spaces are
inscriptions recording the results of the
races with the schooners Cambria, u
"Livonia," and Countess of Dufferin, y
and the sloop Atlanta The Puritan
won both races, and had a third one been
necessary it was to have been sailed over
triangular course outside Sandy Hook
Americans may justly be proud of the
triumph OF the Puritan" as the
"Genesta" is considered the best
representative "all-around " yacht
of all the different yacht clubs
of England; but they may rest
assured that Sir Richard Sutton and
other leading yachtsmen OF Britain will
not despair OF winning the Americas
cup yet, and it is more than probable that
they will build new yacht for the very
purpose of competing for the great inter
national trophy, the Americas cup. AZ
the America" to-day would have nc
chance against many OF the yachts of the
New York Club, it is possible that the
same may be the case with the "Puri
tan" few years hence. The America
is the property Of General B. F. Butler.

President Adams, OF the Union Pacific
Railway, has been in Wyoming investi-
eating the recent outrages on the Chinese
at Rock Springs, and other matters. The
miners and others who waited upon him
declined 10 answer all questions concern
ing the massacre OF the Cinnamon, say
ing they should say nothing about that
matter until called upon in court. But
they presented Il condition OF things at
the mines that is wrong and should he
corrected. They said that the best rooms
in the mines were given TO the Chinese,
certainly a species of favoritism; but fur
ther inquiry developed the fact that the
Chinese got the best rooms by paying the
pit bosses for them. If such is the case,
then the pit bosses, who are white men,
should be blamed, and upon them should
fall the odium of favoritism and not upon
the Chinese. But upon further inves-

The word limited" used in connec-
ton with corporations, indicates that it
is organized under special law intended
to limit the liability of stockholders in
the corporation to the amounts that each
individual member has paid or agreed to
pay for their stock. This law requires
that the word limited shall always be
printed or written or painted in connec-

to warn the public that they must look
to the corporation only, and not to the
stockholders, for the payment OF corpora
