Interesting light is thrown on the
origin of hOrseshoes in another por-
ton of the same account: 'Some OF
those ancient roads suggest at once
the thought Of how horses hoofs were
treated in those days for passage over
such great blocks of smooth stone It
would appear that they were not shod.
In endeavoring to solve the question
as to when horseshoes were first used
I made inquiries at the Quirinal mu-
scum in Rome last autumn and found
that this was apparently in Marcus
Aurelius reign (161 "A. d. And the
proof lies in his own equestrian statue
in that museum, where his horses up
lifted foot shows the shoe with six
nails, whereas previous sculpture only
gives the uncovered hoof."

Col. Massey writes again: ION all the

1t is delightful to observe the dis

A little way from Sowersby is ''the

Sowersby estate, with the rectory
where Tennyson was born, is in the
market, and it's sale will be an event
to lovers of the poet.
The room in which the poet first
saw the light overlooks the lawn, and
the church, perhaps the Gods house Of
.'The Two Voices, where his father
oficiated, stands on low hill oppo-
site the house. The garden is full of
associations Of I'm Memoriam," but
it should be remembered that the
trees are not as they were in Tenny-
sons time-"the towering sycamores'
and "the poplars four have gone, and
the whole place is a wilderness. A
''gray old grange" the reputed resi-
dence of ."The Northern Farmer"
stands close to the rectory so close
indeed, that young Alfred Tennyson,
by reaching out of one of the rectory
windows, could steal the apple tarts
from the pantry of Barber, the tenant.

FLAWS IN MEDICAL EDUCATION

Of specialists is listed as one of the
most startling facts of the day in con-
nection with medical education. The
development of speciansm is explained
in two ways: (1) The severe competi-
ton in practice which the young grad
uate must meet; (2) the demand OF
the public for specialists. The people
should be educated in this regard.
,Specialism, even as now practiced, is
considered on the whole as yielding
good practical results; the public

Every one who lever lived on the
banks Of the Kennebec river has heard
of ..Jim' Reagan shrewd Irishman,
who thirty years ago was making lots
of money buying Prince Edward
Island horses and bringing them to
Maine, where he always found a good
market. He was a great friend and
admirer of James G. Blaine, who took
pleasure in riding with him behind a
good pair of roadsters.
On one occasion Jim had out a
horse for the inspection OF a possible
purchaser. AS usual, he had a good
story to tell. Finally the visitor asked
Mr.. Reagan his price.
Five hundred dollars, was his
prompt reply.

was out of the question. We are very
sorry to lose Cincinnati and Cleve-
