HORSESHOES.
Doubt at to WKat Nation and Ago
First Used Them.
Horseshoes were not known to
the ancients, and there is much
doubt as to what nation and age
first used them. An authority on
the subject says: “The first kind of
shoe known was not a shoe at all.
It was a species of sock, often made
with woven or plaited warfare hemp. Cam¬ thus
els in ancient were
shod, and so wore mules and horses
when their hoofs were hurt. In
time of heavy snow these socles were
necessary to prevent the horses
from sinking up to their girths in
the snow, according to an old
writer. Similar socks are used by
the Russians in Kamchatka for
their sledge dogs, and this kind is
provided with little holes for the
claws. Horse soles were also made
of woven broom, reeds and bast
strapped on, such as are still used
in Japan, where they are made by
the children, who wait about the
roads offering them for sale at a low
figure. The next step made by the
old Romans and Greeks seems to
have been the manufacture of
leather soles and shoos. But the
great drawback to all these hoof
protectors was tho galling really of the
straps, and they were only
of substantial use in the case of
baggage animals or when the road
was rough and dangerous. Delays
were often occasioned by tho shoes
sticking in the mud and lotting tho
horse go on in front.
“So the old ‘mule doctors’ had to
devise means of hardening horses’
hoofs. One advised stone slabs
'fastened witli iron clamps to the
ground which formed the stablo,
another recommended oak flooring,
while vet another prescribed of tho
smearing of the bottom the feet
of draft animals with pitch. The
exact date wheri metal sho«s were
first brought out is not known, but
jUs faql that Nero had the mules
’attached to 1,000 carriages shod
with silver sandals, while Poppaea’s
mules were gold shod. These may
bo the hippo sandals which have
been found wherever the Homans
settled—in Germany, France and
England. The form of the hippo
sandal varies. The commonest shape
is an oval plate of metal drawn out
Backward on both sides and in some
Cases fitted with a curved hook.
There are wings io the sides, and in
front they ar<' furnished with eyes
and rings. Another kind is dis¬
tinguished by the bending and upward
of the sides in front behind,
Suggesting to the They eye the form fixed of ah
ancient galley. passed were through to
the hoofs by straps
clips and rings,
“French horsoshoeologists think
that the Celts were the first to use
nailed on shoes before the Christian
era and flint they Gaul, popularized Germany their and
11RO throughout been
England. Many shoes have
found in graves, the favorite horses
having been slain and buried with
their masters in accordance with
primitive beliefs ns to the hereafter,
Between the French towns of Lnn
gres and Dijon, near the spot where
(Atesnr encamped his army at the
siege of Alesia (B. C. small
fullered shoes have been found at a
depth of two or three feet iw (hr
ground. Some have nails in the
shape of a Roman T and are' pro
vided with clinches. Others ascribed
by geologists to the sixth century
have been found in tho Bernese
Jura. All these had six large, round

Some shoes had heels nnd some had
not. But the heels were hardly of
any size and. moreover, lacked
strength.”—Chicago News.
To Make Toilot Vinegar.
A violet vinegar is refreshing to
nse after the bath. Make it by mix*
iug two ounces of extract of cassie
(not cassia), three-quarters of an
ounce of extract of neroli bigarade,
one and one-half ounces of orris
root, one and one-half ounces of
triple essence of rose and one-half
pint of white wine vinegar. Mix
and strain. This will lie better if
the mixture is allowed to stand for
three days tightly corked before
straining.
Gum Arabic Starch.
To make gum arabie starch pow¬
der one ounce of line gum and pour
over it half a pint of boiling water.
Ftir till dissolved, strain and bottle.
] or use allow one teaspoonful of the of
preparation to each one-half pint
water. As some muslins take starch
much better than others, it is al¬
ways as well to test it with a small
piece of material before using. Th*
proportions can then be regulated
accordingly
