Eorseshoes.

In Japan most Of the horses are shod
with straw. Even the clumsiest of cart
horses wear straw shoes, which, in
their cases, are tied around the ankle
with straw rope and are made Of the
ordinary rice straw, braided SO as to
form sole for the foot about half an
inch thick. These soles cost about a
halfpenny a pair. In Iceland horses are
shod with sleeps horn. In discussing
this subject a writer in The Horse
shoer's Journal says: In the valley of
the Upper Oxus the antlers of the
mountain deer are used for the same
purpose, the shoes being fastened with
horn pins. In the Sudan the horses are
shod with socks made Of camel's skin.
In Australia horseshoes are made of
cowhide. A German not long ago in
vented a horseshoe of paper, prepared
by saturating with oil, turpentine and
other ingredients. Thin layers of such
paper are glued to the hoof till the re-
quisite thickness is attained, and the
shoes thus made are du.able and i'm
penetrable by moisture.

How Japanese Woo.

japan is long way off, and this
charming story of how courtships are
carried on among the elite Of their So
ciety comes to Us from this faraway
land. In certain districts, in houses
wherein resides a daughter of marriage
able age, an empty fowerpot is encir-
cled by string and suspended from a
window or the veranda. Instead of sere-
nades by moonlight and other delicate
ways Of making an impression, it is
etiquette for the japanese lover to ap-
proach the dwelling of his sweetheart
bearing some choice plant in his hand,
which he. reverently protocols to plant
in the empty vase. This takes place
when he is fully aware that mother and
daughter are at home.
This act of placing a plant in the
fowerpot is equivalent to a formal
proposal to the lady Of his choice. The
lover, having settled the plant to his
mind. retires, and the lady is free to
act as she pleases. If he is the right
man, she takes every care of his gift,
waters it and tends it carefully with
he4 own hands, that all may see that
the donor is accepted as suitor. But
if he is not the favorite, or if the stern
parents object, the poor plant is torn
from the vase and the next morning lies
limp and witbered on the veranda or in
the path below.

A Suggestion That He be Re-

Dr.. Evans. of Florence. has been
summoned to Columbia to consult with
Drs Babcock and Taylor as to Govern
OF EIlerbe's sickness. The governor
rested veil last night and was 10 about
the same condition as during the last
few days.
It has been suggested by some Of
the governors friends that during his
temporary disability the lieutenant
governor should be called to perform
his duties as. provided for in the
constitution. It is believed that being
freed from the cares of Office the
governor would more rapidly mend
He has. however. made no suggestion

ton oot on account of any immediate

Me1lowing superstitlop..

Mr.. Elbert Hubbard, speaking of
Meissonier in The Philistine, says that
the temperament of the painters moth
er twas poetic, religious and her spirit
had in it touch of superstition-which
is the case with all really excellent
women
Mr.. Hubbard is right. A child can
not be handicapped more severely than
By mathematically precise, "clear
headed, /" we'll informed, unimaginative
mother. There are wretched households
in which fairy stories are tabooed as
"absurd," in which the "Arabian
Nights" is pooh poohed, in which prim-
ers of science are forced upon little
hands in which there is no Santa Claus,
no stork, no werewolf, no goblin.
A superstitious mother sees signs and
omens for her children. To find her
throwing spilled salt over her shoulder
or looking anxiously for the fayoring
POSITION Of the new moon is more
agreeable sight than to discover her in
the act of teaching indisputable facts.
We entertain profound pity for men
who sneer at old wives fables. The tes-
timony, the deepest feeling Of the cen
turies, is against the scofers and with
them we do not care to clink glasses or
do business Journal.

BARRIERS on the Ocean.

One of the most important persons on
board we'll equipped ocean liner is the
barber. If he is gifted with good bust
ness instinct, he is in a position to make
a good deal Of money.
To the average man shaving while at
sea is difficult and hazardous opera
tion. He therefore calls into requisition
the services of the ships barber, man
who by long training is qualified to
WELD the razor with skill and safety,
no matter how much the vessel rolls or
pitches.
He is always one of the most heavily
Clipped officials on the ship. If the
ship travels On route with interesting
ports of call, the ships barber makes it
his business to lay in a stock of native
knickknacks and cUrios of all kinds.
The inexperienced traveller is natu-
rally little suspicious Of the native
peddlers who swarm on board with their
wares directly the ship is at anchor. He
prefers to purchase his mementos of
foreign travel of the barber, who, hav-
ing bought his stock at wholesale rates,
is able tc retail the various articles to
passengers at prices little if at all high
er than those charged by the native
tradesman.
lrne use of .coats0of arms as a badge
for different families did not come into
practice till the twelfth century The
Germans are said to have originated it.
