Genesis Of the Horseshoe.

1t is known that the hoofs OF horses
were protected by boots of leather at a
very early period in the worlds history
at time which at least antedates
Pliney and Aristotle, both of whom
make mention of the fact. These
leather boots were sometimes studded
with metal nails, but more usually worn
without extra trimming, the eheapness
OF that commodity making it possible
for the owner of the steed to "rebootr
him at any time. Homer speaks oil
"brazen-footed steeds," from which we
naturally infer that in his day horses
were shod with bronze or brass Two
reputable ancient writers tel! us tina,
the mules Of Nero wore silver shoes.
Iron shoes were first nailed to the hoofs
of war horses in the ninth century;
they were first introduced into England
by William II. about the year loss. Al
the present day the japanese use horse
shoes made of braided straw, and sew.
eral European countries use compressed
rawhide for the same purpose.

AT THE WINDOW

The faces We see at the window
As we hurry along the street
Are telling the fitful story
In the drama Of life complete.
There are smiles like the burst Of morning,
There are tears like the dews Of night;
Dark shadows alternately chasing
The transitive ribbons OF light
A wonderful heart panorama
With touches now sad and now sweet
are the faces we see at the window
As We hurry along the street
sweet babe, in your frenzy Of gladness,
Cntaught in the lessons Of fate,
Reach out for the glimmering sunbeam;
All, you linger moment too late.
For a shadow steals over the easement
The beam flashes back to the sky,
And legend Of sorrow is written
In the tear drop that CLEANS in your eye
and what is your grief but q fiction
To that which We everywhere meet,
in the faces we see at the window,
As we hurry along the street
Far out in the wild woods Of fancy,
Fair maidens, your hearts are at play,
And sweetly the glamour romantic
OF love is enchanting your way
Look out where the heavens are fairest
And fathom your fate in the sky;
It's blue will be hidden tomorrow
And heavy your heart with sigh
Like the mutable scroll of the vapors,
With aspects as varied and feet,
Are the faces. we seeat the window
AS we hurry along the street
There gray-haired father Is dreaming,
And black through memorys haze
Dim, shadOwy faces are thronging,
Like phantoms Of earlier days.
But the vision fades with his waking,
For what are the scenes that are gone
10 those that arc locked In the future
At the burst Of eternity's dawn
Tomorrow a voice will be silent,
heart discontinue It's beat,
And face will be gone from the winds1

GLUE IN SURGERY.
A Valuable Auxiliary In the Dressing OF
Wounds.

Wounds.
In some of the surgical clinics in Ger
many there is now employed 4 glue for
holding dressings in place-designed to
be used in all those cases where elastic
collodion and solutions of rubber are
found so convenient, especially in hold
ing dressings over fractures, while at
the same time permitting free motion of
the parts. 1t has the advantage Of not
cracking or breaking. of holding firmly
of being very pliable, allowing i great
amount of motion. and. lastly, of not
preventing the exercise Of the function
of the skin over which it is placed. 50
that there does not occur any peeling
off of the upper layers of epithelum
with tendency TO eczema. This glue
is composed of glyeerine, gelatine and
water, of each thirty parts, and ten
parts of oxide of zinc, this making what
is known as the thick paste; the thin
paste has thirty parts glyceriDe, twen-
ty parts gelatine, forty parts water,
and ten parts zinc oxide; the mixing Of
these elements is, of course, done over
heat, and the paste is liquefed over
water bath when needed. When
ready to apply the part is we'll dried
with brush, ring made round the
part to be inclosed, and the gauze Of the
dressing then laid on, care being
taken to have the pieces cut large
enough to allow the edges TO extend
into the ring of paste already laid on.
Over this is placed a single or double
layer Of gauzes, cut somewhat larger;
the whole is now painted over with the
paste, and the dressing is finally daubed
over with a bunch of cotton held in the
hand.
