HOOP PARINGs A PANAcEA.
Blacksmith Tells Queer Tales of super
stitious Persons and Dogs.

Blacksmith Tells Queer Tales of Super
stitious Persons and Dogs.
What becomes of the parings from
the hoofs of horses in blacksmith
shops? A horseshoer who was asked
this question let his hammer fall on his
anvil and told reporter some queer
things = that dogs make away with
most of the parings, which are esteemed
great delicacy in canine households.
that choice pairing is a fancy tidbit
which can be secured by the commonest
dog if he be watchful and Industrious
The glue in the pairing is probably the
part relished, the smith said.
Negroes have superstitious fondness
for hOof parings. Some are said to
carry piece for good luck. Others use
the parings to make decoctions for
rious diseases. An old white-haired ne
gro, suffering with toothache, went into
a Grant avenue shop not long ago and
said that if he could get some horse
hoof parings to smoke in his pipe he
could cure his toothache. The black
smiths helpers were ready to assist
him, and being a waggish lot of fellows,
they did even more than was expected
The old negro's pipe was filled with par
ings, horse hair and other things that
made the vilest smell imaginable when
q match was touched to them. One OF
the helpers inhaled the smoke from q
cigarette, which act the old negro inn
itated with his pipe. 1t was mo-
mentarily expected that he would coll
lapse, but he didn't. He walked away,
saying: Young gentlemen, I'm done
cured; when yer get de toofache, jess
smoke boss hoof."
A story is told that gypsies toie away
valuable dogs by occasionally dropping
small pairing which the dog finds and
eats. The animal continues to follow
the gypsy until he is caught and carried
| away.
Horse hoof parings are not the only
thing in demand at a blacksmith shop
The scales which the smith hammers
| from the glowing metal are considered
| a valuable ingredient for medicines
which negroes make. Iron scales and
molasses boiled together are admins
| tered for dropsy and liver complaint
Housewives also mix the scales with the
soil in which geraniums are planted
This is said to cause the blossoms to-
take on a much darker hue.-Kansas

IN SILK CULTURE
Silk Worm Eggs from Japan Developed
in America.

The superintendent of the reforma-
tory prison for women at Sherborn,
Mrs. Ellen c. johnson, who has for
years been one of the most enthusiastic

of the silk worm in this country, has

try. Miss johnson having been engaged
:E the work for quite n time, the in.
breeding process had, it was found,
!essened the value of the eggs obtained,
consequently the results were not as
satisfactory as could be wished for.
A few months ago, while Kosuki Tom,
eolSa, one of the chaplains in charge OF
the prison interests in Hokido, where
IRE located five institutions of this kind,
was visiting the Sherborn reformatory,
Mrs. johnson asked him if she could OBJ
tain eggs of the silk worm in his native
country. He Immediately gave her u
letter assisting the superintendent to
accomplish her purpose. As result OF
this letter, there were mailed in two
queer looking bamboo rolls about So
600 eggs of the worm, these being sent
on five different paper cards to which
they were fastened by glue or some
other adhesive substances. As soon "a
received in this country, the eggs wera
placed in refrigerator and later thu
process of Matching was gone through
with, but only about 1000 of the eggs
produced worms. This failure is at
t,ibuted by Mrs johnson to the fact
that perhaps the United States mail
bags, while coming from Japan, were
- IL ,, 1,a
steam pipe on the boat, and in that
way the eggs were overheated.
She has this satisfaction, however,
that the worms brought forth have al,
ready begun to produce silk, which is
the finest in color and texture of any,
thing made in this country, as far as
her experience goes The cocoons,
which are now placed in brown paper
cornucopias that are homemade, are

known in Japan as 'fKoishiman," and
were produced at institution
founded by the silk industry guild for

johnson has produced many thousands
