Leather Shoes for Horses.

The day will come when the present mode of protecting the foot of the horse will be discovered to be mistake. Its horny substance was never intended to be pierced by nails. No wonder that so many horses fall lame and arc perpetually ruined. We were recently shown a horse shod in leather. It struck Us an excellent idea and worthy of adoption. We should not be surprised that leather shoes had superseded shoes of iron. If, however, iron be a necessity, let it be nailed on the leather shoe. Now, shoe makers, please get. up a.neat set, and show them to all your horsey friends. Don't take mo- for an answer; stick to them til you have overcome their preju- dices. When you have succeeded apply to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for medal, and if they decline to give you one be content to know that you have done more good than the society in question with all its wealth.

Soda Water for tsverybodr.

 Some of these floating balloons of father are as big as four barrel. As the pre- vailing winds are from the west. all vege- tation on the eastern shore of the lakes is killed for distance of many rods. When there are unusally high winds the balls ,of ssd5 areA blown so far inland ss to reach clumps of willows and other bushes, the leaves of which are then seen 10 be scorched as though by fire. The water, just as it comes from the lakes, would make an excellent shampoo for the use of barbers; and the solid matter resulting from evaporation would make d fine washing powder for laundry use-Vir- ginia City Enterprise.

skeleton of a "Giant., :.

Not longer ago than 164G mastodon skeleton was exhibited in New Orleans S that of giant. The cranium was made of rawlide, fantastic wooden teeth were fitted in the jaws, all missing parts were restored after the human model, and the whole raised upon the hind legs. It cer- tainly conveyed the notion of "a hidcous, diabolical giant. and was no doubt re- sponsible for many nightmares. As a sad commentary on the state of the med ical profession in the southwest at that time, it may be added that the exhibitor was perfectly honest in his belief. and to support his belief he had a trunk full of physicians certificates that these were human bones.-Prof. w.

FIction Must Bc Interestinc.

When all is said and done the first busi- ness of fiction is to interest. If this busi- ness be accomplished in a seemly manner, without any violation of decency aud mo- rality, (to be sure, there is much virtue in this ifD there can be no right reason for complaint. The late George Henry Lewes was not, perhaps, an extremely wise man, but he made one very sensible observation on this head. s'If an author, :" he wrote once in an essay on Dickens, Eff an author makes me laugh he is humorous; if he makes me cry he is pa thetic.

Your memory depends to great ex- tent upon your physical health. Assum- iag that you posses4sverage health, and Lave weak memory, it is likely that you are careless and inattentive. A man Hho is sentenced to be hanged never for gets the date, although he may have a poor memory for figures. This is be- cause he takes an absorbing interest in tine date fixed for his execution. Inter- est and attention are the mainsprings of memory. Learn to take an interest in what you see, hear and read. Fix your attention upon it, concentrate your mind so as to focus it upon what you desire to remember. There are methods that will help you. Write abstracts of what you read, or converse about it with your friends. At the close of each day recall in their regular order all the events of the day, business transactions, the per sons you have seen and the conversa- lions you have had with them. Keep up this practice all your life, and your memory will develop phenomenally un- til impaired by disease or old age.-At- lanta Constitution.

Rare and Curious Works-Ouccr Old
 Bib,es-ValUable Autographs.
 The National library contains many rare and curious works. It hes some of tle most valuable books ever published in America, and among these is the first American Di5ie printed ia E-roVc2n tongue il this country. It is a German Bible, which was printed ct Germantown in 1143 and which 1Ir. SpolIord bought at book auction about two years ago. It is kept in a box like case in one of the alcovc3 of the ground floor, and is truly a curiosity. Though rot as thick as Web ster's Dictionary, it weighs about as much, and though printed over 120 years ago, it is still in good condition. It is about six inches thick and eight inches wide, by ten CT twelve inches long. It is bound in oak boards, covered with a rich brown leather, and on its corners tllere are heavy brass bosses, with little heads jutting out of them to keep the leather from resting on the table. Its clasps are of leather, with brass fasteners, and it's paper, now yellow with age, is printed in queer old German type. The first paTe is in colors, and on the fly leaves there are several genealogical records. It was originally owned by German, but in 179S it was bought by Enoch RittcnhoGse, a member, doubt not, of the old Ritten- house family of Philadelphia.
 Another Bible that the library has is that printed for the Indians by John Eliot in 1863. This is the first Bible printed in America. It was printed in Cambridge, and in the Indian tongue. The library has a chapter devoted to Bibles, and the chapter of theological works is the largest one in the Htrary. l looked at this big bookcase of Bibles the other day; they are of all sizes ard shapes, from the little vest pocket edition to one big enough almost for q mounting block for horses. They are in all dialects and languages, and the Chinese Bibles look like so many ltnchcs of manila wrapping paper. The print of these Bibles is as queer as the lauGua%cs in which they are printed, and they have every style of types, from the illuminated script of the monks of the middle ages to the common print Of to-day.
 The manuscripts of the National library include many valuable autographs. Among them arc tvyo autograph journals of George Washington, one of which was made during Braddocll' s expedition and one ill 1181, at Mt. Vernon. Here is private journal of Arthur Lee while he was minister to France. at tho break ing out of the revolution, and thero are two volumes of an original military jour nal of Maj. Gen. Greene, written HOW over 100 years ago.
 The National library was founded about 1901, and the first instalDlent of books was carted to Washington in trunks. They were ordered from London, and they cost altogether S5,O0O.-Frank G. Carpenter in The Cosmopolitan.

The Salt Craze.

The majority of our readers will re- member the blue glass craze which ragged So furiously in 1611-2. The manufac- tories of blue glass reaped an enormous harvest. and people who never allowed the sun to shine upon them before per- mitted it's beams to reach them through blue glass hung in convenient southern windows. There are some indications that another craze is coming to take the place of blue glass and the more recent ftlror of hot water. The latest is the consumption of sea salt CT rock salt from Turk S island as a cure for nearly all the ills of the body. The craze has reached Utica and is travelling this way. So far, the sea salt eaten in season and out of season has been found to cure consump- ton, dyspepsia and kidney difficulty, headache and general good for nothing ness.-Rochester Democrat.
