Paper EorseIhoes.

The need of more or less elastic horseshoe has led to many trials and experiments, which. not resulting in anything satisfactory. has kept the farrier's art in the same old rut ot olden days A new horseshoe has been made in Germany, and it is con structed of parchment paper or a paper prepared by n saturatton of oil. turpentine, etc. and impenetrable to dampuess or moisture. Thin layers Of such paper are glued together un- til the desired thickness necessary for the horseshoe is attained by an az glutiuant. which Is indifferent to the action of moisture, and which will not get brittle when dry (especially casetn gum, chrome gelatine. copper chromate, ammonia, or a mixture o Venetian turpentine). The leaves oi such prepared paper can first be cut to tho desired form. and holes for uailing on the shoe be stamped through. and the leaves glued to. gether, one on top Of another. Then the shoe has to undergo a very strong pressure, perhaps by hydraulic press, is dried. and lastly rasped and planed. The holes can be bored in by boring machines similar to those used for brushes, instead of being stamped out The fastening of these shoes can be done by mailing through the holes bored or stam ped. as above described. or by gluing with bitumen. caoutchouc, or a mixture of gum ammonia. emul- sion. one part; gntta percha, two parts The fact Of its getting rough makes the paper horseshoe a great ad. vantage in preventing tho slipping oi the horse on smooth and slippery places.

Men of Metal.

Men with iron constitutions do no, always last the longest
 Wagons and carriages are now-a- days made, many of them, with iron axles They are much stronger, per. haps. at first than those with woode axles.
 Are they the bests
 It is not our purpose to pass judg. ment on this matter about which the best experts may disagree. Our ob. jecs is to call attention to the fact that if there be flaw in an iron axle. look out for smash up when ths first se- we're strain is experienced. It will not do to load too heavily, in the belief that the iron axle will bear up any burden.
 Men with iron constitutions are apt to think they can stand anything. The world is full of illustrations of the great mistake such men make.

CHARACTERS IN BACKS.
As Interesting to Students of Human Na-
 ture as the Fronts of Individuals,

The back of an individual is an easy study-the whole of him. his figure and walk, his shoulders moulded by tho habits of his life. the carriage of the head, the wearing of the clothing. Face to face we see the man as he desires to be seen; but behind his back we take him by surprise, and catch sight of his charac| ter.
 Follow the thoughtful man as he wanders through the streets, seeing noth. ing. While he walks his head and shoulders bend one knows that his eyes seek the ground. just as one sees his feet finger on it. In this manner 1t must have been that Macaulay walked in his famous night wanderings. when he traversed the London streets and saw nothing, contrast to the night walks of Charles Dickens, who trod the same streets and saw everything. with head characteristically held back and slightly to one side--an energetic observer rather than deep thinker.
 Very different from what we may call the refiued and intellectual back is the back of the broad and vulgar figure who

Gives up the Fight.

M1ssouEA, Jan. 29.-lSpecial to the
TRIBUNE. The much talked of fight to
Il finish came off at the Galety theatre to-
night. To entertain the crowd before the
regular combat began, Tom Gilmore and
the Missoula Kid had a four-round set-to,
followed by II two-ronnd contest between
Frank White and Nels Lewis. At half
past ten the stars of the evening appear
ed. jim Ryan was chosen referee, Allen
and Mccarthy were behind Hennessey
and White and Gilmore acted for the
negro. There was Il marked difference
in the weight of the two men, Hennessy
tipping the beam at 147 and RAMSEY at
100. The contest ended in the seventh
round, Ramsey dislocating his elbow and
faln'ing on the stage. In the first round
honors were about even, the men both
showing about equal science, but it was left
to Hennessy to force the fight. The coon
waited his opening, and throwing a vic
ious back handler as he lodged away at
the close of the round, giving Henuessy
a fearful blow on the neck. The I'd,

the 9th round Hennessy was thrown to
his knees, and as Ramsey was about to
finish him the referee threw him back.

Both men were badly winded, although
it was evident that Hennessv. while not Il
gamer fighter than ramsay, had the ad-
vantage IN weight and reach, and
was the better man. In the 7th
and last round both men were
winded, but game. There was heavy in
fighting, Hennesy forcing the negro
against the ropes and dealing heavy body
blows. The men clinched and as soon as
the referee had broken them apart Ram
says right arm fell to his side and when
Hennessy was about to finish him the
o o cried "my arm is broken" The
crowd yelled to Hennessy not to strike
him and the generous fellow stepped
back. The referee here announced the
situation and awarded the fight to Hen
messy.
As soon as the fight was over Hennessy
offered his hand to his bcaten Antagonist
and left the stage.
Hennessy is a great boxer and is as
generous as he is courageous. The fight
was governed by the California Athletic
club rules. 1t was Il fight for blood and
both men were game.
