A Horses Toe Nails,

Few persons realize that a horse $ hoot is really the same thing as the toe nails of liainan beings or of ami lnais having toes. The horn of q hoof grows just as d toe nall does. The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses than in those wearing shoes. and il grows faster in horses which are we'll groolned and well fed. But OH an average the horn grows about a third of an inch a month. Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hOofs. The toe of the hoof being the longest part, it 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 i'll from three to five months. As the new horn Irows out any cracks or defects ill the cid gradually work down to where hey can be cut of, just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress pf a brtlise fiom the root to the tip.-- London Answers.

Whistler as . Letter Writer.

Early Mir. Whistler as q letter writer became a parsonage to be reckoned with. His pen was very frequently dlpped i'll gall, but it is joy to read him. with his very delightful personal style. No one ever wrote quite like him. Hamerton. with whom he had many passes. always to the critics great discomfiturc. once. in reviewing his symphony In White stupidiy called attention to the fact that there were many other tints ill the picture besides white. There was. he main talned, tue reddish hair of the woman. Tor instance: her flesh color. bit of blue ribbon, and so on. Whistler re- sponded: Bon Dieu. did this wise per son expect white hair and chalke1 faces? And does he then. In his as founding consequence. believe that q symphony in r contains no other note. but shall be a continued repetition of F F F F: Fool" And. of course. the world is familiar with Whistler'a studied insolence in his reply to d com munica.ion in the New York Tribune by Hamerton, who complained that Whistler refused to answer his letters Whistler referred to the writer as "a Mir. Hamerton.' which made Hamer- ton perfectly furious and so served Whistler's ends.~Arthur Hoeber in Forum,

Pretty Absentminded.

A book about George Canning and his friends contains among its anec- dotes two which deal with HOokham Frere and the absentmindcdness for which he was noted. Frere married Lady ErroI. and while they were en- gagged he took her into supper at q 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 the church to Mr. Murray, the pub 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"
