STIRRUPS. SPURS AND Horse
SHOES

Stirrups are about 200 years later
tnan saddles, the first mention being by
the Emperor Mauritius toward the end
OK the sixth century In earlier times
the Greeks mounted by means OF
cramp iron tached to the lance. while
the young Romans leaped, spear in
hand, from either side of the horse. The
younger Gracious adopted the Greek
method of placing large stones at inter-
walls along the roads to assist horsemen
10 mount.
Spurs were probably little earlier
than the first feudal times. The great
importance of the spur in the DAYS of
ehlvalry seems to point to its having
been late invention. The barbarous
goad-a single spike which was the ear
lest fornl-was replaced in the four
teenth century by the large roweled
spur.
Horseshoes are of uncertain date. and
have caused some discussion among
military historians. Nailed shoes were
not known by the Greeks, fc, xenophon
gives minute instructions foe hardening
the hoof. Nor did the Romans use
them. Nero had mules shod with a
plate of silver fastened by crossed
thongs to the hoof. With Poppaea,
his later wife, it IS said these plates
We're OF gold. The earliest positive evi-
dehce of nailed shoes is furnished by
the skeleton of horse found in the
tomb of Childeric I (54S-s1) at Tourney.

REAL VALUE OF TEETH.

In the great Malagawa temple at
Randy is a tooth attracting pilgrims
rom far and near. A special mission
vas sent from Siam to try 10 purchase.
this, a supposed tooth of Buddha. An
amount equivalent to SIS 900 was Of
fered for it. 1t is not strange that a
portion of the human body should be
thus worshipped. There are many
shrines where teeth are held as objects
of worship, inclosed with golden cas-
kets, and rarely exposed to the gaze of
the unbeliever.
The average individual values a
tooth lightly, even as an object of util-
ity, in it's natural setting, and it's loss
is considered a trivial matter unless it
happens to be a front tooth. Not until
nearly all the teeth have been destroy
ed by decay or removed by the forceps
does one realize what has happened.
When one tooth has been extracted
you have really lost two. Teeth cut
and grind. The grinding teeth may be
ikened to mill-stone-one acting upon
the other. Remove a tooth and the
opposite organ is without a function.
1t has nothing to grind against. 1t will
lengthen slightly, as though in search
of mate, and In the case of the gnaw-
ing animals the loss of an incisor usual
ly results in the death of the animal
The opposing tooth. elongating, pre-
vents the use of the remaining teeth,
or, as frequently happens to rabb It's,
the tooth, having. no work to do, curves
upward until it penetrates the skull.
Luckily. our teeth are limited as to
their growth.
The loss of a tooth adds a wrinkle
to the face. This is not so apparent,
perhaps, in youth as in middle age al
though even in the youthful the loss
of a cuspid, or eye tooth, is plainly in
dieated by line extending from the
wing of tn, nose to the angle of the
mouth. This is caused by the shrinking
away of the prominence which outlined
the root of the tooth.
1t is a curious fact that most people
in chewing use one side of the mouth
more than the other. This can be trac-
ed usually to some defect on the un-
used side. but the habitual use of one
side of the mouth is detrimental to the
opposite side and to the health gem
orally.
The strength of an organ depends
upon its use" applies to the teeth as it
does to any other part of the body. The
mastication OF coarse food may wear
the grinding surfaces. but this does not
interfere with their functions, as is
shown by the teeth of the Eskimos-
ground down in many cases to the gum,
yet showing no signs of decay The
same condition may be reen in the teeth
Of the California Indian. Nature has
provided for the wear Of the tooth by
building from the inside. when the pulp
which occupies the center of the tooth
is approached.-New York Herald,

THE HARD WORK OF CONGRESS-
MEN

Let those who are blissful ignorant
laugh at Congressman for the easy time
they have at Washington. Only those
who have been through the mill know
how hard Congressman must work If
he Is to fulfil his public duties. A hard
working Senator said to me the other
day: IT might have made $4,000 dur
ing my term in the Senate IL had CIV
en- as much attention to my private
business as I have given to the public
business" The amounto OF work which
is laid upon a Member or Senator is
simply enormous. What with the de-
mand for pensions. Post Offices, docu-
ments. free seeds. applications for pro-
motion or discharge in the Army, and
many other things. a Members time
may be taken up with the exactions Of
his daily mail. A good clerk may be
OF immense help. but some Senators
employ two or three. and then find
there is great deal which they must
answer or attend to, ir person.
The daily sessions from IL to about
5 take up half a day, and committee
often take up the other half
for two or three days in the week. 1t

BANANAS AS FOOD.

Banana lovers will be delighted to
know that their favorite fruit contains
70 per cert of water, 2.14 per cent Of
heterogeneous matter and % per cent of
saccharine substances. 1t is the % per
cent of sweets in the banana which
makes it nutritious food. A Mexican
chemist has been comparing bananas
with wheat and potatoes for food and
has arrived at the conclusion that for
the same space and under the same
conditions of cultivation the produc-
ton of bananas is forty times that of
potatoes and 100 times that of wheat

RIOT GAIL HURRIED THEM TO
GRANITE AND MISSISSIPPI
STREETS
OFFICER JURGENs BEATEN
PatrOIman Is Set Upon by Young
Fellows, Two Of Whom Were
Arrested Sabse-
quent1y.

Riot calls sent the Central and Marga-
ret station patrol wagons, loaded with
officers, to Mississippi and Granite streets,
shortly after o'clock last evening, when
Patrolman Jurgens, of the Margaret dis
trict was attacked by gang of toughs
and severely beaten During the fight
half a dozen revolver shots were fired,
but no one was wounded. The police
charge that three of Patrolman Jurgens
assailants were Dave Gardner, who was
arrested; Dave Moore, a brother of DICK
Moore, the prize fighter, and Jack Nc
earthly. Sylvan Nadeau was arrested for
interfering with the officer
The trouble was precipitated when Of
ficer Jurgens attempted to arrest Moore
The three young men were ordered away
from in front of a. N. Peltier's saloon,
Mississippi and Granite streets. They
became abusive and Officer Jurgens seiz-T
ed Moore 1t is alleged Mccarthy and
Gardner went to Moore's assistance, when
a general fight .ensued. 1t was a running
battle until Officer Jurgens pursued the
trio to the yard in the rear Of the sa-
loon, here the young men turned on the
police man, it is alleged and knocking
him down, began kicking and pounding
him. The officer maEaged to get his re-
VolVer out, but it was taken away from
him. During the struggle for possession
but the bullets struck no one. a large
crowd was attracted by the shooting and
watched the fight, but no one possessed
courage enough to assist Officer Jurgens
Some unknown person, however, notified
the Central station and the two patrol
wagons were hurried to the scene Be
fore the wagons arrived Officer Jurgens'
assailants took to flight. The policeman
fired several shots at them but it is be-
lieved did not wound any one.
Dave Gardner, who was arrested an
hour after the assault, served ninety days
in the workhouse a year ago, for an at
tack upon Street Commissioner Kjellberg.
Gardner attacked Kje,lberg, knocking him
down and beat him savagely. Dave
Moore, whom the police have not yet
captured, has had other encounters with
the police. He was in a row at the
Olympic theater two years ago and when
pursuing him, Sergeant Ross shot Moore
through the hand. Nadeau is alleged to
have interfered with Officer Jurgens, bu5
is not charged with taking part in the
assault.
Early this morning George Moore, an
other brother. and Mccarthy were ar
rested.
