The latest thing Is a horseshoe with.
nails. The principle is that instead
of nails being driven in the hoof--
which SO often leads to "pricking" and
lameness--the shoe is fixed to the out
side of the hoof by means Of little clips,
These clips have small teeth, which
are driven into the side of the hoof
By an ingenious wedge arrangement,
the wear OF the shoe goes on the more
and more secure 1t becomes on the
hoof. Further. in shoeing a horse. the
village forge need not be called into
service The shoe can be put on any
where and by any one who is at all
handy. Severa! housekeeping firms IN
England have tested the nailless shoe,
and the authorities Of German army
corps have had 1t on trial for a year,
and now make it an item in their
stores.

How to Use Court Plaster.

Did you ever notice the way a physi.
clan prepares the court plaster for 8
wound? First. he holds the piece
lengthwise directly through the mid
die. The plaster should be considerably
larger than the wound, to keep we'll
over the edges; then slash the plaster
lengthwise nearly to the edge. Straight
en- the court plaster out fiat and cut
the slashed pieces at opposite ends.
Place the straight edges of the court
plaster to the flesh on either side of
the wound, bringing the strips across
the wound. Moisten them, and taking
a strip from each side, draw them to-
gether gently. closing the cut, and stick
the plaster in place. Continue with all
the strips, and the cut will be dressed
in a manner to insure perfect heal
ing. and as well as any doctor could
do it.

DR.. Babbage, the we'll known mathe-
matician, was SO struck with the vast
ness Of the power represented in the
ocean tides that he made a calculation
of the energy which the tides OF the
Atlantic could exert in day. His es-
innate is that II the tides of this ocean
alone were stored up for twenty-four
hours and converted into mechanical
force. the power would be sufficient to
drive all the machinery then existing
In the world for 175, 600, 900 years. Wha.
pull the moon must have on 1.-The
distracted globe" And If this esti-
mate is exaggerated by one half, still
the mechanical force of the tides must
be almost beyond comprehension, for
this power Is in constant exertion. To
give one more concrete notion of this
Sylvanus p. Thompson made the start
ling assertion that at one English port
BRISTOL the displacement of the VOL
ume OF water up and down each tide
was represented by force OF twenty
billion foot pounds OF energy each year,
or fifty billion foot pounds at the
mouth Of the river, which is five miles
distant. A tenth part OF the tidal en-
ergy in the gorge Of the Avon. the
professor states. would light the city
Of Bristol. and tenth part of the tida
energy in the channel OF the Severn

AoSdui, WHOSE lOril WAS aliHoSl spSc-

suspended by thread, which the
slightest shock might sever. The physi-
clans ordered solitude and absolute re-
pose, therefore he removed to the Villa

ment and stood in large park-like
garden, where the patient could enjoy
either solitude OR society at choice. A
great charm of the place was that every
one lived as he pleased; in the evening,
either retiring to the solitude of his
apartment. or joining in the games,
music and conversation held in the
drawing-room. Pagani preferred pass
ing the evening in quietness and retire
ment. There was plenty of gossip
about him in the drawing-room and
three or four censorious old women fell
on him tooth and nail.

might be asked for similar favors."

exchanged word with anyone except
Vicette, the housemaid who attended
him. She was q cheerful, innocent

served his meals. amused him.

THE PEOPLE SPEAK.

The Cretan crisis has served a USE
full purpose, even though it has left
the Turk the ability to carry on as his
anything but sweet will may suggest.
The war scare has brought the people
to the front as has no event in Europe
In recent years. The powers have
forced their views of the case on the
world, but not without caustic COM
ment and singing criticism from the
masses of the people who in days gone
by saw only good in what their rulers
might decide. 1t was the people who
forced the crisis. 1t has been openly
stated that the Greeks gave their king
the option of taking possession of the
island or of abdicating the throne. Be
hind him in every step he has taken
has been a dominant public sentiment.
assured of its convictions and with no
respect for the divine rights of kings.
With equal resistance there would
scarcely have been less of revolution in
Greece than in Crete.
In England also the public view has
been strongly expressed. Revolution
has not been approached, but there
were tremendous possibilities in the
height to which Indignation has been
aroused. The promptness with which
Salisbury rejected the proposition to
blockade the sea port of Athens is
significant. The part played by the
British fleet in the firing on Canea toct
ed his control of his majority in the
house of commons to the utmost. Add
ed strain might have taken the tension
beyond the breaking point Such a
strength of popular will as England
has expressed is an anomaly in any
monarchy, however limited: it is char
acteristic Of self-government, with no
royal figureheads beyond the pale of
error
The indignation of the present crisis
will undoubtedly pass away, and af-
fa1rs in Europe resume their normal
aspect; but the effect Of such an out
burst must be lasting The memory of
1t will live long after the occasion has
passed into the tangle of the history
OF the Eastern question. The present
result is sorry enough, but it may be
that all Europe, almost unobsrved. has
taken step toward political freedom.
