"You are mine. Mine forever"
He put his arm about me and drew

GenesIs Of tho Horses,oe.

II Is known that the hoofs Of horses
were protected by boots of leather at
very early period in the worlds history
at time which at least antedatcs
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 II possible
for the owner Of the steed 10 "reboot"
him at any time. Homer speaks Of
"brazen-footed steeds," from which we
naturally infer that In his day horses
were shod with bronze or brass. Two
reputable ancient writers tell US that
the mules Of Nero wore silver shoes.
Iron shoes were first nailed 10 the hoofs
Of war horses In tho ninth century;
they were first introduced into England
by William II. about the year 1888. At
the present day the japanese use horse
shoes made OF braided straw, and sew
eral European countries use compressed
rawhide for the same purpose.

In the tear drop that CLEANS in your eve
And what is your grief but o fiction

collodion and solutions of rubber arc
found so convenient, especially in hold
ing dressings over fractures, while at
the same time permitting free motion OF

cracking or breaking. OF holding firmly.

Is composed Of glycerine, 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 glycerine, 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 hquefied over
n water bath when needed. When
ready to apply the part is well dried

dressing then laid on, care being
taken to have the pieces cut large
enough TO allow the edges to extend

Over this is placed 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 bunch Of cotton held in the

Drayton-Borrowe Affair.
LONDON, April 14.-There has been no
sanguinary encounter between Messrs. Bor-
rowe. Millbank, Fox and Colonel Ochiltree.
This is contrary to expectation. for every
one believed that the doughty Texan at least
would beard Borrowe in his Savoy Hotel at a
late hour this morning and have the matter
out in true Texas fashion. Colonel Ochil-
tree says: Il do not intend to call on Bor-
rowe. l wash my hands OF the entire
affair. l am called away to Paris to-day,
but even if l remained here l would not
have anything to do with the question. To
my mind ii has gone far enough. However,
IL they continue to wrangle | shall say
something that may prove highly inter
esting"
The Fox end of the controversy Is more
complicated. Fox has not called on Boz
rome to ask for an explanation Of his re-
marks which he made TO the New York
newspapers, and BOrrowe Is equally un-
sociable. Fox said to- night: II have put
the matter in the hands Of two friends, and
MS they have gone TO the country to spend
the Easter holidays, L can do nothing till
they return"
