TRIVIAL Cause Of a bloody War.

In the year 1854 Polish nobleman
became obnoxious TO the laws OF his
country by reason Of his having com
mitted crime. he fed TO Sweden.
whereupon John Casimir, king OF Pc
land. wrote to Charles Gustavus, king
of Sweden, demanding the surrender OF
the criminal The king Of Sweden on
reading the dispatch noticed that his
own name and titles were followed by
two "et ceteras," while the name OF
the king of Poland was followed by
three. The missing let cetera" so en-
ragged the king Of Sweden that he at
once declared war against Poland.
The war was carried on with great bit
terness until 1880, when a peace was
signed at OLIVIA, near Danzlg. A con-
temporary writer (Kochowsky) poured
out his lamentations on the war In
these terms: How dear has this 'et
cetera' been to usi With how many
lives have these two potentates paid
for these missing eight letters! With
what streams Of blood has the failure
of a few drops Of ink been avenged!

A horaa'a Toe NalIa.

Few persons realize that horses
hoof is really the same thing as the
toe nails Of human beings or OF ami
mails having toes. The horn OF a hoof
grows Just as toe nail does. The
hoof grows more rapidly in unshod
horses than IN those wearing shoes.
and it grows faster In horses which
are we'll groomed and well fed. But
on an average the horn grows about o
third Of an inch month. Hind hoofs
grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe
Of the hoof being the longest part, II
takes longer for the horn to grow
down there than at the heel. For in
stance, the toe will grow entirely down
In from eleven to thirteen months.
while the heel will grow down IN from
three to FIVE months. AS the new horn
grows out any cracks or defects IN the
old gradually work down TO where
they can be cut off, just as with human
finger nails you can watch the progress

Dictionary Users Modest.

"Men are never so modest as when
they go to use a dictionary" remarked
an attendant at the public library.
AS a rule, when you see man go to
a public dictionary or one in any place
where other people are around you'll
see him look about furtively as II In
fear somebody might see him. Men
who make no pretensions at having
any great amount Of knowledge never
theless seem to be embarrassed to
have any one think that they do not
know the pronunciation or meaning OF
some English word. The next time
you see a man looking up a word In
the dictionary just ask him what 1t Is
he is looking up and see II he Will tell
you. You'll find in at least nine cases
out Of ten that he won't tell you. He's
afraid you'll know 1t and have the fun
of enlightening hlm."-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
