Corns on Horses Feet.

A common cause for lameness
among horses is CONS, and they may
be growing for several months before
they give evidences of their existence.
Horseshoers closely watch the feet
of the horses they shoe for evidences
of these disturbers, and are often
able to get rid of them before they
have done much injury. Corns on a
horses hoofs usually form just above
the heel and where the hair joins the
hoof. They then grow down into the
hoof as the hoof itself grows, and
about the first knowledge the horse
sheer has Of their existence is when
he pares the hoof and uncovers the
corn.
1t is often the case that they have
festered while in the hoof, and when
an incision is made large sized hole
is found. In some establishments
ointment is used for the cure Of
corns, but in others it is considered
best to protect them from gravel and
stones, and permit them to grow out
with the hoof and be cut of with it.
The shoes on Arabian horses, which
are required to go long distances in
the hot sand, are solid pieces of iron.
an opening being left only for the
frog. They are fastened to the hoof
with unsightly looking nails, and
altogether are cumbersome affairs,
yet they serve the purpose of protec-
ton to the hoof.

The custom OF lighting the streets
dates back to remote antiquity. In
the cities OF Greece the streets were
lighted after a fashion by means of
very old fashioned lamps suspended
or set in sockets in prominent posi-
tions. Similar plans were followed
in Rome and in the Egyptian cities,
and relics of these have been found
which date back to the fourth CEN
fury before Christ. The lamps used
were for the most part primitive in
form. Many of them were made Of
skulls of animals or of sea shells of q
convenient size and shape,
The general principal of these
lamps was copied in the stone cups
and boxes used in later years. The
lights at best were very inadequate,
and it was customary for those who
ventured on the streets at night to
carry blazing torches. Crime of all
sorts flourished under such a system.
1t was not uncommon in ancient
Rome to find a number of dead and
mangled bodies lying about the
streets every morning.
The lamps used In this period were
exquisitely decorated, but for several
centuries not single improvement
was made to increase the light. The
lamps were made usually Of bronze
and covered with figures in bas relief
taken from mythology or from sub
jects of daily life.

Embarrassing.

A young woman got on a Louis
vile street car carrying number Of
bundles, and while taking her seat
dropped her purse. A policeman
sprang to help her search for it on
the floor. Before he realized that she
had already picked up her purse, he
bent his head down to look under
the seats. Across the car was q col
ored woman Weighing about 300
pounds. She had remained passive
during the whole proceeding. The
man reached forward and grabbed
what he thought was the lost purse.
In doing so he discovered that he
had grabbed the black rosettes that
ornamented the colored wonan's
shoes. To make the matter more
embarrassing for the policeman she
put both feet out before him and said
aloud: What's you 'spose dat
white man wants to be pick;n' at
my feet for?"

Bicycles Hurting the Railroads.

The passenger earnings of many
roads are not only being cut into To-
cally by the trolley lines, but by the
bicycles. Since the warmer weather
set in people living out a few miles
from their places of business, who
have been patronizing the suburban
trains, now ride the bicycle. Where
there are cities but few miles apart
the passenger men say that between
the electric roads and the cycle COM
petition their local earnings are
showing marked decrease.
A passenger official who has just
returned from Boston states that
within radius of eight to ten miles
hundreds now come in on bicycles on
pleasant mornings and return in the
evening in the same manner, and
hundreds more find the electric car
quite an attraction, so that alto
gether the Boston steam roads are
losing quite heavily on this particu-
lar portion Of their incomes. He
says that Boston passenger men told
him that trains that were formerly
crowded are aow only fairly we'll
filled, and in some instances a num-
Der of trains run for suburban bust
ness have been taken off, and those
kept on are hauling fewer coaches.

The design illustrated herewith is
that of Swiss cottage, style that
is not fitted for this country in gen.
eral.
Swiss architecture is the out
growth of the needs and conditions
of the inhabitants of Switzerland, and
like all national institutions is most
appropriate to it's natural surround
ings. The life of the Swiss peasant
is divided by his occupations into
two seasons: the summer. when he
is watching and tending his cattle on
the high Alps. and the winter, when
he is forced to find shelter from the
rigorous climate with it's fierce
storms, in the low lying secluded
valleys.
Swiss architecture, as built in this
country, has been. shall we say,
somewhat Americanized, and the
accompanying sketch shows struc-
ture that would be effective and
pleasing il erected in a suitable To-
cation. The latter point is one upon
which an architect, versed as we'll
in the technical points of landscape,
should be consulted, as many q man
spending his money freely. but not
discreetly in the erection Of house,
has found too late that he has made
q serious mistake in trusting too
confidently to his own taste. 1t may
be found necessary for him to sell a
house that has cost him thousands
of dollars, and because of it's express
ing too strongly his own individual
ity finds he will not be able to realize
third of his investment. 1t is the
proper duty of the architect not only
to draw plans but to advise with his
client upon the general style, &C

A Curious Plant.

There is what is called musical plant
found in the West Indies, Nubia and the
Soudan. 1t is of the acacia tribe and has
a peculiar shaped leaf and pods with split
or open edge. AS the wind blows through
them 1t gives out sound similar to whist
ling. In Barbados, when the trade winds
are blowing across the island, these trees
give out constant moaning, deep-toned
whistle, interspersed with sounds similar to
"fa, ''me," or other half tones, which in
the still hours of the night have weird,
mournful effect. The sound given by those
of Nubia and the Soudan are caused by the
ravages Of insects. whose larvae insert
themselves into the trunks, causing them
to swell and become distorted. After these
have been Matched and leave their nests,
the wind plays upon the open spaces. pro-
ducing sweet sounding tones similar to
those of a flute. Many strange and often
pleasing sounds are heard in the dense
tropical forests of the East which are
caused in the same manner.

War Dogs.

The war dogs belonging to the
German army, which were shown at
the Sporting Exhibition at Dresden,
acquitted themselves remarkably
we'll. The trials were not by any
means easy ones, and the fact that
the dogs satisfactorily passed them
speaks highly for the system of train
ing the animals. On very compli-
Gated road, with many cross-paths,
and quite strange to them, the dogs,
although maneuvering with troops
who were quite unknown to them,
and in spite of the heat being most
intense, did some excellent dispatch
duty. TELL" a dog belonging to
the jaeger Guard Battalion, brought
dispatches from a soldier to head
quarters, distance of nearly a mile,
in less than two minutes, while the
dogs belonging to the Dresden Rife
Corps accomplished the journey in
about two minutes. Tests were next
made with the dogs as ammunition
carriers, each animal carrying on it's
back a weight equal to $50 ball cart
ridges, arranged in a kind OF saddle,
and they showed that in this direc-
ton they might be thoroughly relied
upon, for they supplied the line of
firing troops, who were also strangers
to them, with fresh ammunition.
The trials wound up by testing the
power of the dogs in seeking the
wounded on the field of battle, and
the intelligent creatures were equally
as successful in Red Cross duties as
they were in conveying ammunition,

EGGS WITHOUT SHELLS.
Thousands Exported from Italy for
Confectlon0ra' Use.

Thousands Exported from Italy for
Confeetionsrs' Use.
The Consular report on the trade
Of Genoa in 1894 contains the follow
ing:
A commercial paper of Sept. 5
stated that the expectation OF Italian
eggs to England had attained con-
siderable proportions, the principal
importers being Italians, and the
eggs being used by the large biscuit
manufacturers and the principal
pastry cooks, the latter including
three italian firms supplying pastry
to hotels, cafes and restaurants.
One of these firms were said to
consume 5000 eggs weekly, pur-
chased till recently from the italian
importers, but now from an English
firm which supplies eggs from Russia,
shelled and preserved in hermetri-
cally-sealed tins. provided with a
tap by which any required quantity
may be drawn of at time. Lower
price and saving OF time are men,
toned as the advantages Of this
system, also freedom from damage
in transport, and long keeping, so
that Italian exporters of eggs were
recommended to adopt it.
According to information received
by the Chamber of Commerce at
Cuneo from the Italian Consulate in
London, the tin or drum, packed
with straw in wooden case, held
the contents of 1000 to 1900 eggs,
the white not separated from the
yoke, but the hole getting mixed up
in the drum, which was protected by
three iron hoops. The circular aper-
ture through which the eggs were
poured in was closed by a bung, and
sealed, and the tap was supplied by
the London pastry cooks.
Great care was necessary in the
selection Of the eggs. as single bad
one would spoil the whole lot. The
cases were marked Russian pro-
duce." those from Italy should be
marked italian produce" There
were several marks or brands, and
prices might be calculated at about
121 cents. per dozen, quotations be-
ing sometimes by the gallon. Prices
went up to 16 or Is cents, per dozen
in winter.
A later report in the same paper
showed that the Italian adoption of
this Russian system had not been
so far successful, the eggs having
been found spoiled on reaching their
destination.

She Weighed TOO Pounds.

Miss Manda Steele was buried a
few days ago in Mechanic Township,
near Millersburg, o. She was a
school teacher and took on flesh so
fast that she was compelled to quit
teaching. She was nearly 40 years
of age. The day she died she ate
heartily and then complained of her
stomach and shortly after was found
dead in her bed up stairs. Her
weight was nearly 700 pounds and
she slept on bedstead especially
prepared for her. 1t took twelve men
to take the corpse down stairs. Her
casket was four feet across and could
not be taken into the house and the
corpse was brought out to it. An
old-fashioned wide box wagon was
used to convey the remains to the
grave.

Business Puzzles.

There are many places in Philadel,
phia occupied by business firms
which furnish q standing puzzle to
the community. Take, for instance,
an imposing-looking haberdashery
on Chestnut street. At all times
the window is filled with neat neck
ties and the finest kind OF hosiery
and linen. Yet no one, as far as the
general community is concerned,
ever saw O customer enter the store
and make purchase. The store Is
itself fine property and is well To-
Gated. The same firm has been there
for years, and how expenses are met
is the puzzle. A certain restaurant
in the heart of the city has an apart
ment set aside for ladies exclusively.
The room is quite large and richly
carpeted. The furniture is of the
best, and the linen and crystal-ware
are Of the finest. A colored waiter
stands with towel across his arm at
the end OF the room, but no man, so
far as can be ascertained, ever saw q
customer of either sex eating there.
1t has been conducted in the same
manner for years.
