Ancient Skates,

The English chronicler has recorded that the youth of London in the twelfth century understood the art of flying over the ice like birds in the air, but the origin of skating is far more an cient An Icelandic saga relates how the Norwegian hero Frithjof not only traced verses upon the polished mirror, but also cut the dear name of Inge- bord. Skates have been discovered near Spandau, in Germany, which those competent to express an opinion at tribute to a period of 5000 years ago. These skates were made from bones of horses. figured and perforated to at- tach to the sandal. Similar skates have be en found at Moorfields, in Fins bury, and like discoveries have been made in Berlin in the bed of the Spree. These and similar discoveries, we learn, enable the authorities to con clude that the European ice area in prehistoric times extended from Great Britain to Finland and from Norway to Hungary.-London Globe.

S50,000,00O IN
 INSURANCE MERGER

Chicago. Nov. 22.-The dominance of Eastern and Foreign insurance companies in Western and Southern fields is waning, as is shown by gains made by the lusty new compan- ies which have set out to retain in the heart of the America more of the insurance revenues which total some half billion dollars year, tributes paid chiefly to the East and Europe. The announced merger of two West ern companies, the Consolidated Cas- ualty Company having swallowed the National Casualty Insurance Company of Louisville, is case in point, the first named having directorate which represents in personal wealth, it is said, $5O,000,00O, fact which presayes other mergers.
 The Consolidated company was or ganized as a protest against the in- surance power of the East and al- ready has over $2,000,000 of insur- ance in force, fact partially account ed for by the scattered holdings of the company's stock in 26 states. Re- gently the Kansas State Bankers As sCciation gave the company prefer ence ever others, making it officially the choice of the association in the in&uring of State funds.-Arkansas Democrat. Nov g.

Pretty Abssntminded.

A book about George Canning and his friends contains among its anec- dotes two which deal with Hook ha II. Frere and the absentmindedness for which he was noted. Frere married Lady Errol, and while they were en- gagged he took her into supper at a ball. While they were talking he drank up the glass of wine he had poured out for her and then took her back supperless to the ballroom. After the wedding he went straight from fisher, who asked him to stay to din, ner, to which he very nearly agreed, remembering only just in time that Lady Errol was waiting to start on the honeymoon"

A Horses Toe Nails,

Few persons realize that a horses hoof is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of ami mals hay ing toes. The horn of hoof grows just as toe nail does. The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses lhuE in those wearing shoes, and it grows faster in horses which are we'll groomed and we'll fed. But on an average the horn grows about . third of an inch month. Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the longest part, 1t takes longer for the horn to grow ,cc ascSere than at the heel. For in.
 ,,os e toe will grow entirely down
 eleven to thirteen months, ttsallaa,,sse 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 of, just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress of bruise from the root to the tip.- London Answers.

him. he pulled a revolver and sent
