The Horses Foot,

The foot of horse is one of the
most ingenious and unexampled pieces
of mechanism in the whole range of
animal structure. The outside hoof is
made up of series of thin vertical
lamin@ of horn, about 500 in number.
Into this are fitted 500 more thin
lamine, which belong to the coffin
bone, both sets being elastic and adhe-
rent. The edges of quire of paper in
serted leaf by leaf into another quire
will furnish good idea of the arrange.
ment of the lamin@ as mentioned above.
Thus the weight of the animal is sup
ported by as many elastic springs as
there are lamin@ in the feet, amounting
to about 1000. These are distributed
in the most secure manner and in way
that every spring is acted upon in an
oblique direction. Verify there is a
display of natures wonders every,
where. e.-GdLreStOn NeeS.

The Father of Arithmetic.

Euclid was the father of geometry.
but the father of the common school
arithmetic, such as hoys and girls study
to-day was q Bavarian, who for more
than two hundred years has been de.
tested by German school children.
Annaberg. in Saxony, feels that it is
sure of a place in the worlds history,
if, for no other reason, that it was the
home of Adam Riese, the father of
arithmetic" and the town council is pre-
pairing to raise an elaborate monument
to his memory.
Riese was born in Bavaria, but be-
came a miner in the Saxon Erzgebirge,
and afterward set up school There
he published the first series of books in
German for training the young in the
art of reckoning and the mysteries OF
weights and measures. He had four
sons, and they all took naturally to fig
ures, and continued their fathers work
after his death in 1869.

The DUTIES OF MAN-addressed

to workingmen. by Joseph Mazzini.
With the advance of democratic
thought the name of Joseph Mszzini.
the Italian patriot and revolutionist,
grows brighter and larger. His was
one of tie strongest and sweetest
spirits that have blessed our century
by their presence and counsel While
Mazzini was an ardent patriot and
advocate of struggling nationalists
he also believed most emphatically
in the unity of mankind, and hence
he is a moral teacher for all men.
All his writings are permeated by
an unwavering faith in the people
and profound religious spirit. The
most characteristic and important of
his utterauces are to be found in his
essay, "The Duties of a Man." now
reprinted by the Funk & Wagnalls
company, New York, and from which
hunnreds of valuable quotations may
be culled and used to advantage by
the writer, speaker, student, and all
others interested in that vital topic
of the times, the ethics of labor.

ton (432) he tried to shoot us.
But our election was the finishing
blow. During the campaign he
charged us publicly with h in-:
A thief, \ convict.
a blgamist, An incenLiary,
A slandeIer, A liar,
A swindler, A bunco man,
An assassin, A murderer,
He also managed somehow to
raise the sum of 81 in cash and
wager it against our election. His
charges all fell to the ground. and
he lost his cash money.
We were warned that he meant
to shoot us, but knowing that he
couldn't hit Pixies peak with a
shotgun, we haven't worried any.
Last evening as we sat in our sane.
tum writing the red-hot editorial on
the Chilean question, to be found
on the second page, our esteemed
contemporary came up the alley
and shot at US six times through
the window. Actual measurement
prove that we were only eight feet
from him, and yet his best shot
only cut the buckle off our vest
back. We heard him crying as he
went away after emptying his
revolver. Poor old man! We pity
him and yet he makes us tired,
and some day when we are out of
sorts we shall probably kill him
and pay all the expenses of q first
class funeral.
To the Profession.-Several the
atrical troupes which hit this town
last fall neglected to leave compli-
mentary tickets at the Kicker
office. We made it as warm as
possible for them and none of them
took in enough cash to pay the bill
posting. We now desire to an
nouncc that we own the only hall
where show can be given. AS
mayor we have the granting or
refusing of licenses. AS editor OF
the Kicker we can make it very
pleasant or very lonely for
any troupe which refuses
to come down. We state this
matter very plainly because We
want it plainly understood. After
the mayor (Which is onrselves) has
granted license, advance agents
should call on the editor of thu
Kicker (Which is ourself again)
and leave at least six tickets. HI
can then call upon the owner Of
Kicker hall (Which is ourself some
more), and arrange terms, date, &c
In this way everything can be ar
ranged to the mutual satisfaction
of all parties.

bit sore at us because, as Mayor of
this town, we are trying to dignity
the office by wearing white shirts
and exchanging long-legged boots
for lace shoes. We replaced the
saw dust spittoons in our room in
the town hall with regular crockery
affairs, and Hank Steiffer, Joe
Glynn and others are going around
saying that we have no further use
for the crowd.

mayor of hustling western town
certain things are expected of us
and must be carried out. We've
got to keep our hair cut, use pass
able good grammer and present
decent appearance to strangers.
No one need be surprised if we are
not at the next dog-fght, of if we
issue an order that our official
room is not headquarters for the
gang. We expected that the boys
would feel hurt, but we believe our
policy will win their approval in
the end. Over at the Kicker office
any one who visits US as the editor
can spit all over the fixtures and
elevate their feet clear to the cell
ing, but when we are in the mayors
Office we shall insist on all callers
using the regular spittoons and at
least keeping their heels off our
desk. Strangers are dropping in
every day, and we want them to
see difference between our office

1t Must Be Stopped.-Tuesday
morning some one brought word to
Coroner Johnson that there was a
dead Indian about a mile out OF
town on the gulcb trail. That Off
cial got jury and went out and
nOsed around for half a day before
he could render verdict that the
Indian was old Bill Price, and
that the cause of his death was
unknown.
We want to say to the coroner
right here and now that such non.
sense must be stopped, and that
the Kicker will oppose the pay.
ment of his fees in all such cases
When told that it was an Indian
there was no need to 60 out. What
is it to the people of this county
whether an Indian lives or dies F?
The coroner not only knew old Bill
as well as his brother, but no prol
ably sold him the last drink o.
whisky he ever had, and we have
no doubt that it knocked him over
1t was simply put-ap job to make
the county expense for fees, and il

Mr.. s. B. Hege, the city passenger agent Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, is
the chairman Of the committee on Transports
ton to battlefelds. This committee is busily at
work preparing plans to enable the veterans to
visit neighboring battlefields by short and
cheap excursions from this city. Speaking OF
the work accomplished Mr.. Hege said: ''My
committee is now preparing and will very soon
have completed full list Of battlefields in the
vicinity Of Washington, giving rates for the
round trip, going and returning same way, the
distance from Washington, the time Of depart
ure Of trains and boats. well as the station or
wharf from which same leave, also all special
trains and boats which will be run by the va
rious transportation lines out Of Washington
on this occasion for the accommodation of
visiting Grand Army Republic people and their
friends. 1t is my intention TO place at least
two Grand Army Republic men in charge of
each special train or boat. These men will be
selected according to their familiarity with the
route to be covered by the special train or
special boat.
The Washington lines are also uniting to
place on sale during the encampment tickets
via certain circuitous routes, which will be
very attractive. For instance, ticket will be
sold from Washington to Norfolk by boat,
thence by rail to Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Washington; also one from Washington to
Harpers Ferry, to Lexington, to Lynchburg,
10 petersburg, TO hlchInond, TO washington;
also one to Gettysburg, to Antietam. to Harpers
Ferry. to Washington. In fact the ground will
be fully and satisfactorily covered, as all lines
are arranging to cover all the points Of interest
located on their respective lines and uniting
with each other to a commendable degree for
circuitous tickets over each others lines, which
will enable those who desire to make q grand
detour of all the battlefelds at minimum cost
for transportation.
"The rate authorized by the Trunk Line
Passenger Association for this business is one
fare for the round trip where the going and re-
turn trip is over the same line and IA cents per
mile for distance travelled by circuitous route.
