A FEW DOTS ON HORSE SHOEING AND TIRE SETTING, AS DONE AT TOM THURSTON’S SHOP. HORSE-SHOEING. Mr. D. E* Maher, the only scientific horseshoer in Butts Cos. dees my shoeing. He has been shoeing horses in Jackson about 6 years and has made the anatomy and physiology of the horse’s bod yin gener al, and the foot and leg in particular, a special study. \ think this coupled with his practical experience puts hint in a position to do first class horseshoeing. The object of horseshoeing is to protect the hoof from excessive wear, and thus render the horse con tinuously serviceable upon our hard roads; also to prevent slipping and falling during the winter season and to so far remove disadvantages of faulty positions of the limbs that horses may render good services, and in some cases to cure or improve diseased or detect ive hoofs or feet. Horseshoeing, apparently simple involves many difficulties, owing to the fact that the hoof is not an unchanging body, brjt varies much with respect to form, growth, quality and elasticity.

Whst Worried Mark’s Mother- I was always told that l was a sick ly and precarious and tiresome and uncertain child and lived mainly on h:g the first seven years of my life. I asked my mother about this in her old age—she .was in her eighty-eighth year—and said: “I suppose that during all that time you were uneasy about me?” “Yes, the whole time.” “Afraid 1 wouldn’t'live?” After a reflective pause, ostensibly to think out the facts: -\V afraid y m would.” Mark- Twain in North American Review. one arternoon Aunt Sue was explain ing the meaning of various words to her young nephew. “Now. an heir loom, my dear, means something that lias been handed down from father to son.” she said. “Well,” replied the boy thoughtfully, “that’s a queer name tor my pants.”—Chase (Kan.)

As the common year contains fifty-two weeks and one day, tilt* dominical let ter changes from year to year, always going backward one place for a com mon year and two places for Leap years. This mode of representing the days of the week has been uninterrupt edly employed in the calendar of the church since the earliest times. Want Their Money Back. In 1003 Frankfort, N. Y., installed a municipal electric light plant at a cost of $0.50 for each Inhabitant. The village tin-tees have now made a flve year contract with the Utica Gas and Electric company because its price is less than the mere operating cost of tho municipal plant. Not Good Business. Demagogues may say what they please, but government ownership, mu nicipal or national, is wrong from the business man’s point of view.—Jerome Jones.
