POINTED SHoEs.-A great beau of the
inc of w illiam Rufus called Robert, the
Horned, wore shoes with long. sharp points,
stuffed with tow, and twisted in q spiral
form. This fashion took the fancy of the
people of that day immensely, and the
points went on increasing yearly until the
reign Of Richard IL, when they had to be
tied to the knees of the wearer, to save
him from being incumbered in walking.
This tying, or fastening, in the case of gem
tlemen, was by chains of silver or silver gilt.
In Chaucer's time the upper part of these
shoes were cut to initiate a church window.
The rank Of the wesrer in these days was
known By the length OF his poulaines.
8. The men" says Paradin, "wore them
with point before, half foot long; the
richer and more eminent personages wore
them foot. and princes two feet long,
BY an Get Of the reign OF Edward ". the
absurd lengths 10 which these points had
attained was limited and no one under
the rank OF lord was to wear shoes more
than ten inches long. and all cobb!ers max
Ing them were to be fined and cursed BY
the clergy.

give them 1n1Orm2tIOn-kn0W anything
about the history of this most necessary
and useful protection to the horse Every
day, We see the flash of the glittering steel,
as the gayly-caparisoned steed Frances
upon the street or highway, or as the hi h-
ored trotter dashes by the toll gates every
day the blacksmith is engaged in shaping
The Kissing steel, and fastening it to the
horny hoof every day the hostler washes
the fetlock- Joints, and scrapes the matted
dirt from the frogs; and yet we will VEN
ture the assertion that not one out of a
hundred of these knows the history of the
semi-crcle of iroa, which he daily sees OF
handles.
The first coverings for the feet Of beasts
Of burthen consisted of raw cow-hide shoes,
Put upon camels in wartime, and during
long journeys. These are mentioned by
Aristotle and Piiny. Arrian also speaks Of
the soles or shoes used as protection for
the feet of the ass. The first occurrence
of the Greek word ''selinaia," or horse
shoe, was in the ninth century; it was then
only used during frosty weather, or upon
special occasions. The mules of Nero-the
sensual and brutal Emperor of Rome-were
shod with gold and silver. But horse.
shoes OF the shape and material used In the
United States, were derived from England !;
and Dr.. Meyrick, reliable authority, says
that the 6 Normans first introduced the art
Ut horse-shoeirg. as at present practiced in
England" However. Roman urns and q
horse shoe of singular form-round and
broad in front, narrowing very much back
ward, and having its extreme ends almost
brought together, and rather pointing up
wards, have been dug up at Colney in Nor
folk. Cowper sang the sofa-when will
some unitarian poet sing the horseshoe I?
It would be rare subject to trace it IN all
its progressive stages Of Development
from the rough, raw hide coverings of the
cameps feet to the shoe of perfect shape,
now as common as the knives and forks
with which ouy meals are eaten.
Strange superstitions have been COL
necsed with horse-shoes. Even now, AND
in our own country, the custom of throw
ing " shoe for luck is . vestige of the
superstitions of by-gone ages The Ro-
mans used to believe that driving nails into
the walls Of a cottage was an antidote
against the plague; our own ancestors used
20 think that mailing horse-shoes on the
threshold Of doors would destroy the power

TO BICYCLISTS.
Decisions or Importance to Them and
or Interest to the Public at Large.

Decisions OF Importance to Them and
ofInterest 60 the Public At Large.
Two decisions OF interest to the public
and especially to bicycle riders have just
been rendered by the supreme court of
Indiana, and in one it appeared that a
wheelman riding on the sidewalk ran
against a man. knocked him down and
injured him. The court holds that an
action for damages can be maintained
first, on the ground Of negligence, as the
walk was fourteen feet wide, and there
was nothing to obstruct the passage of
the bicycle or the view of the rider. and
second. that riding bicycle on foot
way is unlawful. On the latter point the
court says sidewalks are for the use of
pedestrians, not persons in vehicles. 1t
rules that bicycle is vehicle. and that
a person has no more right to propel one
on the sidewalk than he has TO ride a
horse or drive team there. 10 the other
case the accident occurred in the street.
A wheelman going in the center of the
road at the rate of fifteen miles an hour
approached q team of horses within
twenty-five feet of their faces before turn
ing aside. The horses became frightened.
ran away. smashed the carriage and in
jured the complainant, who was driving
them. The court decided that bicycles
have the same rights as teams on high
way, and hence that wheelman is not
liable for damages caused By frightened
horses unless he is shown guilty Of negli-
gence.

SERVICE BY THE LITTLE PEOPLE.
The evening service at the First Bap<
fist church last evening was devoted en-
tirely to the little people, the exercises
being by the mission band of the church
and the collections for mission purposes.
The services opened with a chorus and
scripture reading and prayer by Rev. H.
G. Leland. Then there was a song,
rally Round the Cross" by the band, a
recitation, THE Burman Girls Lament"
by Matte Williams, a recitation, "My
Dolly" by Edna Kahlke, and very pref
ty dialogue by four little girls. Follow
ing came a solo and chorus, in which Der.
tun Willidmss hiucIt Lclduu anu Luulo
Robb took part. and Rotations by Fred
POLAND, Della Bibb and Artie Kablke.
A dialogue in which parts were assigned
to Maud jeffrey, Sadie Taylor, Gertie
Churchill and Alvin Mason was sue
ceeded by q song by the infant class. A
number of little girls gave the "Conven>
ton of the Flowers" and Matte Williams
recited the "Burmsn Girls JOY" Eddie
Petit recited "Biddy Redwing's Nest. I"
There was "A Plea of the Nations" by
several girls. Leonard Totten rendered
the collection piece and the singing of
Carnation concluded the very interesting
programme.

bright and shining light from whom the
other members borrowed their brilliancy.
Tomorrow night we are to have Daniel
Sully at Hsrper's theatre in his new play,
Daddy Nolan"
Daniel Sully appeared at the opera
house last evening in his new play Daddy
Nolan. The play is q sequel to the Cor
ner Grocery. For an Irish comedy Dad
dy Nolan is unusually clever, and the til
tie role. as presented by Mr.. Sully. is q
superior piece of acting Of the kind.
Daddy Nolan is delightful mixture Of
humor and psthos, and wins the
hearts OF the audience without any ap-
parent effort. 1t is a characterization
that must be seen to be appreciated. The
other parts are mostly in satisfactory
hands. Max Arnold. as Daddy Nolan
German friend, Master Mslvy as Jimmy,
the ideal bad boy, and Miss Calef as the
frolicsome, mischievous girl, are very
good. The quartette singing in the last
act deserves the wsrmest praise. II was
far superior to most qusrtette singing.
and the singers had to respond to two
encores last evening. The elaborate
realistic setting of the stage is a feature
