A Horse'a Too Nails,

Few persons realize that horses hoof is really the same thing as the toe nails of human beings or of anil mals having toes. The horn of 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 a third of an inch a'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 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 of bruise from the root to the tip.- London Answers.

Mysterious Stranger Creates Sensation in West End With
 Queer Bonfire

Mystery surrounds the actions of an unknown man whose attempt to de- stroy by fire a substantial outfit of coat, vest and overalls excited the sus- picions of the police late last night.
 Sergeant Sanger received phone message just before midnight that a man was acting suspiciously in the rear of 9SS Howard avenue. He sent Patrolman Hayes to the scene. Be fore Hayes arrival neighbors had run out and frightened the man away. He had set fire to the bundle of clothing. The attire was almost destroyed be- fore it was eXtinguished.
 The man had disappeared. but a few minutes later reappeared. crossing two back yards in Poplar street. At sight of the neighbors he took to flight and vanished in the darkness. The clothes are in possession of the police They suspect he may have stolen another outfit of clothes and wanted to destroy his old clothes. They consisted of a black coat, black vest and blue over alls.

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 afr, 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 been 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 Hnngary.-London Globe. e@;f

Whistler as a Letter Writer.

Early MT. Whistler as a letter writer became parsonage to be reckoned with. His pen was very frequently dipped in gall, but it is a 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 discontinue, once, in reviewing his symphony Tn White,' stupidly called attention to the fact that there were many other tints in the picture besides white There was. he main- tained, the reddish hair of the woman, for 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 chalked faces? And does he then. in his as- founding consequence. believe that a symphony in F contains no other note, but shall be a continued repetition of F F F? Fool" And, of course, the world is familiar with Whistler's studied insclence in his reply to a com munication 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 Whistlers ends.-Arthur Hoeber in Forum -

A book about George Canning and his friends contains among it's anec- dotes two which deal with Hookham Frere and the absentmtndedness for which he was noted.

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. saAfher the wedding he went straight. from the church to Mir. 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"

Scotch Profits.

"We have decided" said the head of Glasgow firm, ''to conduct our busi- ness in future on the profit sharing principle. We shall begin at once on the basis of last years results"
 ''We are delighted to hear it," replied the foreman, speaking for the men. May we ask what were the last years results?"
 "We lost a thousand pounds" said the employer. -'and, therefore, on the profit sharing principle, there will be reduction of 10 per cent in your wages. Dundee Advertiser.
