Shoes for Horses.

II have been farming about sixteen
years." says correspondent of the
New Orleans Times Democrat. land for
a few years made practice ofspending
from $40 to $50 per year shoeing and
removing shoes, etc., on horses and
mules-because my father did, l pre-
sumo. 1t was communicated to me in
some way, orally or writtenly-do not
now remember-that this was useless
expenditure, so I made up my mind to
try and do away with, as far as posi-
BILE, the expense of shoeing. Since
1876 have been working regularly
from eight to twelve mules on my
farm, kept from three to four horses
for the saddle and harness, and not one
shoe has been upon their feet from
that date to this-a period of thirteen
years. I find they do as we'll, keep as
fat, do as much work, are as free OF
lameness and sore feet as when they
were constantly shod, and that they
are less liable to break and bruise each
others limbs and not so fond of paw
ing down stalls, doors, gates, etc.,
crippling hogs, sheep and goats that
come within reach of their feet. l
would not have them shod now if it
was done gratuitously. l think the
necessity of shoeing horses and mules
depends altogether upon the locality
and work the animals are used for.
etc. If kept constantly at service up
on pixies and rocky roads, shoes may
be a necessity; but upon farm and
country roads have found no neces-
sity for shoeing when the animals are
accustomed to service without shoes
! from the time they are foaled."

Indians as Smokers.

Every Indian worships to bacco. Give
the Sioux sufficiency of beef and to-
bacco and there will be no more war
between them and the United States.
They do not get any tobacco from the
Government in these days so they sell
what little else they do have, and with
the proceeds procure cigarettes and to-
bacco. 1t used to be that the red man
was satisfied with dried red willow
bark, but he has been civilized very
materially, and now insists on the best
brands of the most thoroughly culti-
waited and manufactured weed. Some
of the older fellows still mix the willow
with their smoke-they prefer the Kin
nick-Kinnick-but the younger men
take the tobacco straight. Their love
for cigarettes amounts almostto a pas
sion, and yet the Indian is master of
the situation. He can smoke enough
cigarettes to kill every dude on the
face of the earth, go on the war path
for a couple of months and starve, and
yet turn up with a physique that seems
uninjured. The suggestion that un-
limited cigarettes were cheaper than
soldiers thus falls to the ground and
becomes valueless.

A Germans Ideas of America.

Americans who leave the beaten
track of travel in Germany are always
objects of more or less interest to the
people says the N. Y. Tribune. There
is the curiosity due to the great dis
tance that the visitors have come from,
and besides German who has not a
relative or at least a friend in this
country is a rarity. The traveller is
asked all kinds of questions about the
United States and often Il most la
mentable ignorance is displayed by the
Germans about the distant country. A
case in point is related by New
Yorker who spent some time one sum-
mer in village in Hanover, at some
distance from railroad. He was WIS.,
iting physician whom he had met at
Berlin in the university days of both of
them.
One afternoon the physician, accom-
panied by his friend, drove to farm
house to visit sick child. When he
alighted the American remained in
the vehicle. In the course of his call
the physician happened to mention
that his companion was from the
United States. As they drove away
an old lady rushed out of the house,
SeSIlculaIlnS Wlluly anu cdlllnS ou
them to stop. They did this, and she
ran up, all out of breath, shouting:
How is my son? He is in Amer
ica."
She did not hear of the New-Y Yorker's
nationality until after the physician
left the house, and ran to make inquiry
about her son, who had been in Amer
ica for fifteen years. The woman had
received no word from him or about
him for several years. She thought of
course, that every one in America
knew every one else there. The for
eigner had much difficulty in explain
ing that he had never heard of her
son, who was in Minnesota when he
wrote his last letter. For some time
the good woman believed that the
Newly orker was an impostor who did
not come from America at all.

THE SIX COMPANIES.
Consul Bee Gives an Insight Into q Big
Chinese Organization.

To the members of the congressional
committee Consul Bee gave history
of the six companies. " says the San
Francisco Chronicle. and detailed the
manner in which they conduct their
business.
I'm 1849 and 1885," said the consul,
1.-THE men coming into the mines from
the east found no law or order in this
state. We banded ourselves into state
organizations. For instance, l was
in the Hangtown diggins, and there
we had New York society. Next to
us was the Palmetto society, represent
ing the men from the Carolinas. The
men coming into the mines joined the
societies representing their native
As before stated, the Six companies
men coming here come from one of
the six provinces, and the Six compan-
les represent those provinces. They
were organized years ago. They have
no connection with the Highbinders.
They are, in fact, courts of arbitration
to settle the differences between Chi
nese. SO as to save them the costs of
going into the American courts. The
Six companies use no threats or intim-
idation, and have no power over the
Chinese. They care for the members
of their companies and try to regulate
as far as they cantor they have no
power of arrest or compulsion in any
forn-the commercial quarrels of the
Chinese"
The question was asked if the Six
companies did not use threats to col
lect debts. and if they did not compel
every Chinese leaving this country to
pay fee into the treasury of one or
the other of the companies.
The consul explained that each COM
pany protected its own members when
they got into trouble, and never asked
cent from them until they were ready
to go back to China. when dues to the
amount of from 81 to 81 were collected.
The consul also asserted that the Six
companies never tried to prevent
Chinese from returning home, no mat
ter whether he had paid his dues or
not.
Now, if the Chinese are at liberty
to depart for China at any time, how
is it that they are often stopped at the
steamers gang-plank and compelled
to pay a fee?" asked Representative
Lehlbach.
That's the regular due of $3.50 or
SO. That man has been here for many
years. perhaps, and although the COM
pany to which he belongs has expend-
ed 500 or more in protecting him he
objects to paying the honest fee. They
are frequently absconders. trying to
avoid paying their debts. and are
stopped at the request of one of the
companies to which the merchant to
whom they are indebted belongs"
DO you think such a system should
be tolerated in this countryP" was
Lehlbach's next question.
Bee said it did not differ materially
from the customs of white creditors.
Then we are to understand that
the Chinese get all the benefits from
the Six companies without being
taxed?" observed Stump.
Exactly" responded Bee.

ATTRIBUTES OF A GENTLEMAN.
Cardinal Newman Gives Certain Signs by
Which You May Know Him.

If he engages in controversy of any
kind, his disciplined intellect preserves
him from the laundering discourtesy
minds. who, like blunt weapons, tear
and hack instead of cutting clean. who
mistake the point in argument, waste
their strength on trif1es, misconceive
their adversary and leave the question
more involved than they find it. He
may be right or wrong to his opinion,
but he is too clear-headed to be unjust;
he is as simple as he is forcible, and as
brief as he is decisive. No where shall
we find greater candor, consideration,
indulgence; he throws himself into the
minds of his opponents; he accounts
for their mistakes. He knows the
weakness of human reasoI as well as
its strength. its province and its limits.
If he be an unbeliever he will be too
profound and large minded to ridicule
religion or act against it; he is too
wise to be dogmatist or fanatic in his
infdelity. He respects piety and de-
votion; he even supports institutions
as venerable, beautiful or useful to
which he does not assent; he honors
the ministers of religion, and it con-
tents him to decline its mysteries with
out assailing or denouncing them. He
is friend of religious liberation, and
that not only because his philosophy
has taught him to look on all forms of
faith with an impartial eye, but also
from the gentleness and effeminacy of
feeling which is attendant on civiliza-
ton. Not that he may not hold re-
ligion, too, in his own way, even when
he is not a christian. In that case his
religion is one of Imagination and
sentiment; it is the embodiment of
those ideas of the sublime, majestic
and beautiful without which there can
be no large philosophy.
Sometimes he acknowledges the be-
ing of God; sometimes he invests an

CONCERNING WHAT YOU EAT.
What You Eat Matters Little If You At
tain Certain Results.

THE human system requires GER
tain quantity of carbon and of nitrogen
to keep up the equilibrium of health"
remarked a physician to N. Y. Tele-
gram reporter. The healthy man
needs 800 grains of nitrogen and 1900
grains of carbon daily, to supply the
waste that takes place during the
twenty-four hours. He should select
a diet which can supply as nearly as
possible the proper amount of each of
whether he eats vegetables or meat, so
long as he achieves the result. 1t is
very possible. as vegetarians contend,
capable of inging the greater number
of individuals to the highest physical
development of which they are capable,
but it would be difficult for the ma
jority of workingmen to get the proper
diet of vegetables all the year round,
and a mixed diet, partly vegetable and
partly animal is most sensible.
Most men eat too much meat. I
know some people who live almost en-
tirely upon it. The proper proportion
is about one part of meat to three of
vegetables.
Zone thousand grains of meat con-
tain about 100 grains of carbon and
800 of nitrogen. Therefore to obtain
the 4, 600 grains of carbon which a
mans system requires no less than six
and half pounds of meat must be
consumed daily, while the requisite
800 grains of nitrogen are contained in
one and half pounds of meat. conse-
quently three or four times more meat
must be consumed to supply the carbon
than is necessary to furnish the nitro
gen.
'One thousand grains of bread con-
tain 800 grains of carbon and ten of
nitrogen. In other words, to obtain
the requisite amount of nitrogen for
the system on diet of bread alone
one would have to consume exactly
double the quantity of carbon required.
A short calculation shows that two
pounds of bread and three-quarters of
a pound of meat just about compen-
safe for the daily drain on the system
of healthy man.
Beef and mutton usually contain
Is per cent of carbonaceous and 20 per
cent of heterogeneous material. Potatoes
have % per cent carbonaceous and 2 of
nitrogenous material, very nearly the
proportion the system requires. Oat-
meal has &c carbonaceous and Is nitro
genous parts and, taken alone, is a
better article of food than beef as re-
CARDS the requirements of the system.
Skinned milk contains carbon and
nitrogen in about equal quantities.
Oatmeal and good milk and bread,
for breakfast, with beef and potatoes
for dinner. form about the best diet
that can be devised"
