RoasA SHOEING;
We have every reason to believe that
horses have been shod with metal shoes
eight btuulred years ago. Every horse
shoer, if he follows his trade or profes-
sion, and does nothing eleebecomes a
Medalist ia his particular line of work.
If he speods from two to four years
in the study of his trade or profession
and does not master it, so to speak,
wbot can he say io eelf-defence after
doing a. bad job for you? It may be
that he learned. his trade with a man
who was n botch, or a man wlao did not
care to excel, and who bad wrong ideas
taugiat biu by his boss. Poor mechan-
ics are propognted much the same as
al:Ohm's are. "Like begets like." And
far too many sheers are willing to fol-
low their trade as they -learned it, nev-
er inforraing themselves as to the an-
atomy of a horse's foot end how to
shoe be conferinito.
ln order to shoe a home well time
must be spent in doing it. The shoes
should not be left on too long. A
proper weight of shoe should be select-
ed, in order to balance the horse. As
a, rule, the fore shoes are twice as heavy
as the bind one,s, iiecause the fore feet
carry two-thirds the weight of the
body. The fore feet require more pro-
eection anaa stronger sihoe. Weight ort
the fore feet givethe horse more
kotte miaow else lengtheus his stride
and aSSIBtiii mane in going fast. How-
ever, now -a -days speed borses of all
kinds are usually shod with much light-
er thoes than they were before. In
fact I thiuleemeny horses are shod with
altogether too light shoes for track and
road purposes. Wbere the anklials are
used for fast driviug the foot requires
Iprotection, and unleee the hoof is
tAtropg ana of good quality it requires
a reaeonably strong shoe; that is, If the

The fore feet of a horse are one or
the Inoet important parts of tbis lody
to keep sound, and this can only be done
by not interfering with nature too

rarely if ever have any foot lanaeness

lame in the feet, after they have been

WEIRD FAMILY LEGEND.
•••••••••••
The Goldimids Said to nave Been. Strangely
Shadowed.
• H". 'M. Lucy. in bis article "From.
Behind the Speaker's Chair," in the cur-
rent Strand Magazine, tells a creepy
story in conueetion with tbe Goldemid
family. For oiore than a hundred ;years,
it was said, a fatal spell hung over
the Goldemids. Toward. the close of the
eighteenth century tbere died in London
the Rabbi de Falk, who enjoyed high
reputation as a seer. He left to Aaron
Goldsraid,great-great-grandfather of the
late member for St. Pancras, a sealed,
packet, with injunctions that it was to
be carefully preservedebut never opened.
The old Bluth merchant who founded
the branch of the Goldsmid family in
this country eras warned that as long
as this order was obeyed, so long would
the Goldsmids flourish like a young tray
• tree. If it were disfigured, ill -fortune
would for ail time dog the footsteps
of the nice. Aaron Goldemid kept the
packet inviolate for :some years. One
day, curioeity becoming ungovernaltle,
he opened it. 'When his eervent came
to rail hint he 'was found dead.
Aaron Goidemid left a large portion
of his fortune to two sons. Benjamin
and Abraham. These weet iut o betanees
on the London Stork Excleinge, and
vastly increased their patrimony. Ben-
jamin founded a Naval College,and per-
tormed mane tune of leee known gener-
osity. He lived long, hut the curse of
the cabalist overtook him. Enormously
rich, the delusion that be would die
a pauper fastened upon bine, and to
avoid such conclusion of the matterhe,
on Apml 15. 1808, being in his fifty-
fifth year, died by his own hand. Two
years later his brothers teltrahanolieing
concerned in a rainieterial loan of four-
teen millions, lost his nerve, blundered
and bungled sank into a condition of
hopeless deepoiadency, and on September
28, 1810, a day on which a gum of
halt a raillion was due from him, he
was found dead in his room.
The fortunes of the family were re-
stored b • Isaac Goldemid,nepliew of the
hapless brothers, and grandson of the
founder of the English house. Like all
the Goldsreids, Isaac was a man of gen-
erous nature and philanthropic tend-
encies. With him it seemed that the
curse of the cabalist had run ite course.
It is true that before he died be lapsed
into a state of childishness. 13ut he had
at the time passed the limit of age
of. fourscore years, after which, as one
of the kings of his race wrote centuries
back, mans days are but labour and
sorrow. haat Goldsraid was sucee.eded
in his fortune and his 'baronetcy by his
son Franes, on wiaom the curse of the
cabalist seemed to fall when he was
fatally mangled between the engines
and. the rails at Waterloo station.
to the shoer and the balance to the
one who negleeta the home's feet while
he hos him ill charge.
It is safe to say that ninetenths of
horseshoers remove too much of the
sole of the foot. They weaken the bars
and cut away too much of the frog.
The owners and care -takers do not sup-
ply raoieture to the fore feat, and be-
tween the two causes, many horses go
tore and. become unsound and. unfit for
use. This all might have been avoided
if better judgment had been exercised
in their management.
CAUSE OF POTATO SCAB.
The cause of potato ecala is due to a
certain soil condition which favors or
promotes the development of a minute
organism upon the tuber, writes S.
Peacock, in Ohio Farmer. The usually
stated remedy is to treat the seed po-
tatoes with a poison of some sort, hav-
ing for its object tbe destruction of
the germs of the disease. At the pres-
ent time the most popular treatment
is to immerse the seed potatoes in a
solution of corrosive sublimate.-- two
ounces dissolved in fifteen gallons of
water—for ninety minutes or two hours.
While this treatment may effectually
destroy all scab fangus on the seed us-
ed, it offers no protection against soil
infection. It is said to be, however, an
ample protection against spreading the
infection, and if far no other reason
deserves serious attention. Disinfected
seed can accomplish little in an infected
soil, and. checking the spread of the
disease in the soil itself is a necessary
treraedial measure.
There is a great deal of experimen-
tal literature devoted_ to_potaeo scab.
and generally of it very htili oadini-
periraents are valuable only when con-
ducted under exact conditions such as
are impossible on the ordinary farm.
With referenee to potato scab; t1ie. in-
dications of the most authentic and au-
thoritative eateriments are, tacit car-
bonates in the soil or conditions of
soil alkalinity greatly promote the de-
velopment of the disease. Ahy treat-
ment which tends to reduce the nat-
ural condition of soil acidity, favors the
epread of the disease.
' As to the practical application of
' this principle in ordinary terming peac-
e tice; potato fields should not be limed
during the potato year nor the year
immediately preceding; wood ashes be-
ing chiefly composed of carbonate of
lime, should never be used as a source
of potash in reeking up a potato fer-
tilizer; barnyard manure from the fact
that it producos carbonates and tends
toward alkalinity, should not be used as
a potato manure. Not only are these
three substances prejudioial to sound,
healthy tubers, but they are also a
cause of increasing the soil infection
even thongh no potatoes are grown. The
fungus eeehas to naultiply iia the soil in-
dependent of the contmual presence of
potatoes or -any ether real; crop.
I am aware that the farmers of Ohio
will feel somewhat skeptical a the
statenaent that barnyard manure is
conductive to scab, and I insert here the
results of the experiments on this point

(scientific- supervision. Soil uniform

In all of Port Said there are only
two buildings that command attention
from the visitor—the Caeino and a

the lowest types. It is there that the
street eeggars, of which Port Said is
full, come to squander away what they
have gamed from the pockets of :am-
pathizing visitors.
THE. MOSQUE
in the Arab quarter bas but one real-
ly interesting feature, and that is a
feature filled with unpleasantness. The
traveler who goes to visit it —needs
necessarily to. take off hes.shoes, itt
accordance with the Moslem rite, and
his only safety is to carry them as he
wanders about. For the pilfering Arabs
in tins quarter a the town think noth-
ing of purlouung the foot coverings of
anyone, aed there is many a foreigner
'who has had to hobble back to his ship
in a pair of uncomfortable shoes of or-
iental manufacture, purchased speedily
and at a dozen times their actual val-
ue in some shop near tht mosque.
Two things go to keep Port Said the
wickedest city in existence, one tieing
the climate, which makes hard drinking
a necessity for the residents, and the
other the fact: that for some reason
or other the off -scouring of all the
nations near by pour themselves into
it. Italians, Runnel -is, Austrians,Turks,
Abyssinians, Egyptians, Arabs, Span-
iards, Frencbmen and even a few de-
graded Britishers, are to be found in
every corner of this profligate settle-
ment, all of the worst types their re-
spective nations can produce, black-
legs, swindlers, gamblers, forgers, raur-
derers and professional beggars whose
arts have failed elsewbere. With them
have come by hundreds women of pre-
eisely the same type whose one aim is
to steer cacao of any sort of decent liv-
ing, and whose elm doctrine day by da,y
is to prey upon innocent tourists.
Tim dens are innumerable, and as can
well be understood, they 'are always
well patronized. The climate cau,as
burning sande to drink to avoid the
fever, which IS always
A PRESENT DANGER.
Somehow the degraded and vicious of
the population—or about four-fifths of
the Inhabitants—manage to stand this
climate and live yeat after year, but
the decent people who have to stay in
Port Said for business reasons find it
impossible as a general thing to keep
both sober and healthy. They have to
choose between the two, and it is a
common saying that five out of every
six men who ire to live in Port Said die
either of delirium tremens, or fever
within a few years.
The most of them succumb quickly
to the temptations of the Place and
Vin in the .great processions of dissipa-
on and nofous living. The vice is
just the reverse of gilded, but after a
time mitn gets used to it and does not
mind it. There are, it is teue, .many
.respectable people living in the town,
but they make no impression on, the
great unleavened mass.
The officials of Port Said either do
not care or else they have deternained
that itis .better for them financially
to take no notice of the evils around,
then. Certainly no attempts are being
raede to iniprove the city in any way.

WHAT ONE DOG DOES.
Carries Tools and Material Where Work-
men Cannot Go.
Keys, the canine employe of the Un-
ion Iron 'Works, met with an accident
the other day by which his front right
leg was broken. Keys hag- been look-
ed upon by the officers of the iron
works as one of their regular workmen
for about four years. He is a dog of
no particular beauty and his pedigree
would riot be considered by dog fanciers,
but Isa possesses wonderful intelligence.
He makes the Potrero police station his
home and late is the pet of Lieut. Ben-
nett, but nearly every work.mazt in the
shipbuilding concern claims the friend -
„ship of the dog.
At the first tap of the gong every
morning Keys has reported for duty
at the gates of the Union Iron Works,
and be has never left until a full day's
work has been accomplished. He was
particularly useful in the shipyard and
us the boiler shop, and the foremen of
those departments say he was more
,yaluable to them than a man for doing
tiertain kinds of work. He would crawl
through small holes in boilers and about
ships, and his particular work( was to
carry tools, bolts, nuts, rivets, and oth-
er small articles needed by workmen
who had crawled into such places, and
to have them creep back and forth for
such articles would cause considerable
loss of time.
Keys thoroughly understood his work
and he was always on band when need-
ed. The other day a steamer was plac-
ed. on the dry docks for repairs, and the
dog, realizing that his sexvices might
be needed by the workmen, was climb-
ing a ladder to the deck, when he slip-
ped and fell about twenty feet. The men
picked him up, and, making a stretcher
of some pieces of canvas, carried him to
the police station and sent for a physi-
cia,n to set 'the broken limb. .

The mingling ot races from every cor-

markable at Port Said. than in any
other spot in tee world. It is iso won-
der that, placed as it is, at the very
gateway between the Occident and the
Orient, the worst vices of Europe and
Asia, should there f bad a coagenial en-

of transient visitors, whose money does

FIRST BICYCLE IN GREECE.
The history of the bicycle in Greece
is intereeting. The fleet machine was
taken there many years ago by the
King. It was all of wood, and front
driving, of the variety known as "hone
shaker." Naturally, His Majesty did
not appear in publia in the streets, as
bicycles were regarded by the natives
as supernatural and uncanny for many
years. The pioneer bicyclists of Greece
were subject to many intonveniences
and even dangers. They were hooted
and laughed at in the streets of Athens
and were sometimes stoned and tumbled
from their wheels. At the present day
t,he rustic generally crosses himself and
utters a. prayer when a bicycle passes
him.

Toronto. Read how he writes:.
GENTLEMENJ—During the winter of
1892 my blood became impure on account
of the hearty food I ate in the cold
weather. Ambition, energy and success
forsook me, and all my efforts were in
vain. My skin became yellow, my bowels
became inactive, my liver was lumpy and
bard, my eyes became inflamed,my appee
tite was gone, and the days and nights
passed in unhappiness and restlessness
For some months I tried doctors'
and patent medicines of every description,
but received no benefit. Being ,adieseci
by a friend to try B.33.B., I am glad to
have the opportunity of testifying to the
marvellous result. After using three
bottles I felt much better, and when the
fifth bottle -was finished I enjoyed health
in the greatest degree, and have done so
from that, day up to date. Therefore
have much pleasure in recommending 13.
B.B. to all poor suffering humanity who
suffer from impure blood, which is the
beginning and seat of all diseases
