The intelligent foreigner is highly
amused at the indiscriminate way in
which English audiences use this word,
regardless Of the number and sex of the
performers whom they wish to applaud.
A tenor is, of course, bravo; but a
prima donna is bravo. More than one
male artist can only be bravi, and il
there are more ladies than one on the

the applause, they should be hailed as
brave-at least according to Italian

ON Shoeing Horses.

The following instructions to smiths who
shoe cavalry horses have been Issued from
the Department OF War:
In preparing the horses foot for the shoe
do not touch with the knife the frog, sole or
bars. In removing surplus growth Of that
part of the foot which is the seat Of the shoe
use the cutting pincers and rasp, and not
the knife. The shOeing knife may be used
il necess Try in using the top clip. Opening
the heels or making a cut in the angle Of the
wall at the heel must not be allowed. The
rasp may be used upon that part of the foot
when necessary, and the same applies to
the pegs. No cutting with the knife is per-
mitted; the rasp alone is necessary.
Flat-foOted horses should be treated as the
necessity OF each case may require. In
forging the shoe TO ft the foot be careful
that the shoe il fitted TO aud follows the cir
conference Of the foot clear round TO the
heels: the heels OF the soc should not be
exl Tended back straight and outside OF the
walls at the heels OF the horses foot. as is
frequently done.
Care must be used that the shoe is not
fitted too small, the outside surface of the
wall being then rasped down 10 make the
foot suit to nj the shoe, as often happens.
The hot shoe must not be applied TO the
horses foot under any circumstance.
Make the upper or foot surface Of the shoe
perfectly fiat, so as 10 give level bearing.
A shoe with a concaye ground surface should
be used.

Authors' Blundsrs,

Apart from natural objects of any de-
scriptiOn, what an abyss of blunders do the
sxactiDg rules Of grammer plunge us into.
Neither and "nor," for instance. How
absolutely uncomfortable some pens find
these little words, and what tiresOme
trick they have OF taking upon themselves
pluraliEing properties TO which they have
no right. Continually we hear "that neither
Ida nor Gerald were able TO speak for some
minutes" Well, then, we suppose both of
them was silent. One needs TO come to
close quarters with these will-O' the wispish
parts OF speech. They are almost as terri
bic to deal with az those perplexing verbs
TO "layv and TO Gle" Over these, authors
otherwise irreproachable, frequently trip,
while the great host Of minor writers APP
pear 10 give UP wrestling with them, for we
get a heroine who had "laid" on the sofa
an hour; q hero who "lies" hi tired head !;
or another who cries out, "let that glove
lay there, sir" In nearly every book we
open. As for past participles and past
lenses, we give up noticing their little va
carries, so constant is the stream OF charac-
terra who "rung for their maid, and drunk
the water hastily after having sang the
ssng--." And 80 forth But one Of the
commonest stumbling blocks in fiction is
that much-courted and frightfully misman-
aged orb, the moon. Considering
how useful this lumnary is for love scenes,
meditations, murders, etc, the wsy in
which people who introduce il persist in ig-
nOring its natural movements is really
most unyrateful. Thus we are frequently
confronted with "day-Old silver crescent

whenY Why, as soon as the sun has set!
New moons are continually rising In the
West, while full moons get solemnly up at
midnight. More than once they have pre-
ferred to do this In the North, but in for one
eccentricity they think perhaps they NAV
as well be in for another. As for waning
moons, they get up as the sun goes down,
and wander about, north, south, east and
west, just as the situation requires them.
