SOOTHING A HORSE
flic Animnlo Easy Introduction to a
Steam Street Roller
In one of the broad uptown thorough
fares a few clays ago a mounted pa
trolman encountered a steam roller In
action and the horse was terribly
frightened It reared and balked and
then made angles across the street
first one way and then the other until
the policeman Jumped off nnd tried
coaxing Leading his mount step by
step In the direction of the roller
which had come to a standstill he pet
ted the animal and talked to it urging
It forward
A fine horse like you to be afraid
of a steam roller said the policeman
The horse pricked up its ears and ven
tured ahead another step or two
Come now come along You cant
be a policeman and be afraid of a bit
of iron Now come on good boy
The horse made a few more steps for
ward
Come on continued the policeman
Now then be good The department
cant afford to be giving 300 apiece for
horses that havent any nerve Come
on now
Coaxing It along in this way with In
finite patience the officer after several
minutes got the animal up to the roller
The horse daintily put forward one foot
and tapped the front of the Iron wheel
waited a moment and finding that the
machine did not kick or run reared
contemptuously and tapped the object
with both feet then -wheeled and walk
ed quietly away The policeman re
mounted and it is safe to say that
horse will never bother about a steam
roller again New York Tost

HISTORY OF SHOES
No Article of Attire Have More
VnBarles Been Shoirn
Shoes or their equivalent are of a
certainty even more ancient than
gloves for they were a necessity of lo
comotion while the other was but a
luxury Sometimes they were made of
skins sometimes of papyrus as in
Egypt Often they were gilded and
decked with jewels and the most ex
pert artists of the day were employed
to decorate the foot coverings of
wealthy patricians consuls emperors
and their favorites In no article of at
tire have more vagaries been shown
Today a lady who desires to be consid
ered in the height of fashion wears
shoes pointed as much as possible but
in the time of Queen Mary the taste
was all the other way and it was
found necessary to issue a royal procla
mation prohibiting shoes with toes
wider than six inches But perhaps the
most extraordinary development in the
way of footgear were the chopines in
troduced by the ladies of Venice to
make themselves taller than they really
were The articles were really a kind
of stilts made of wood and leather and
sometimes reached the absurd height
of twelve inches Even a trained acro
bat would have difficulty in walking on
such things and ordinary women had
such trouble with them that when they
attempted a promenade they required
the assistance of a servant at each side
and another behind to keep them from
falling From Redferns Royal and

TIiaddCTis Stevens Wit
When Thaddeus Stevens had taken
to his bed for the last time a visitor
told him he was looking well Oh
John was the quick reply it is not
my appearance but my disappearance
that troubles me One day a mem
ber of the house of representatives who
was noted for his uncertain course on
all questions and who confessed that
he never investigated a point under
discussion without finding himself a
neutral asked for leave of absence
Mr Speaker said Stevens I do
not rise to object but to suggesttkat
the honorable member need not ask
this favor for he can easily pair off
with himself
Evolution of the Skate
The earliest known skates were those
roughly shaped from the canon bone of
a horse or cow and Scandinavian ar
chaeologists claim an antiquity of 1G00
years for these The wearer of these
rude skates obtained speed not by a
stroke of the foot but by pushing him
self along with a piked staff Skates
made entirely of -wood were next intro
duced These were followed by -wooden
ones shod with flat strips of iron
Then were gradually developed bladed
skates and finally experts evolved the
Fen type Norwegian racer and figure
skates of the present day London

The Ordenl of Boiling Oil
In Ceylon tho system of witch find
ing is both unique and terrible Some
oil from newly gathered king cocoanuts
is manufactured by one of the friends
of the complainant This is poured into
a primitive stone vessel and heated to
the boiling paint Each of the suspect
ed witches Is then brought upon the
scene and is then nnd there compelled
to dip three fingers of the right hand
into the seething caldron each having
a right under her ideas of justice to
throw the oil remaining upon her fin
gers into the face of the complainant
who stands near by
While this ordeal Is being undergone
a single exclamation of pain on the part
of the suspected person is constructed
to be an admission of guilt If no such
exclamation is made the innocence of
the accused is supposed to be estab
lished It is said that every tenth per
son on the island of Ceylon has maimed
fingers as n result of having met the
ordeal of boiling oil
Swimming Sailor Fashion
It was a redheaded boy from across
the tracks on his good behavior at the
swimming hole above the dam that I
first saw swim hand over hand or
sailor fashion as we called it right
ly or wrongly I know not I can hear
now the crisp staccato little smack his
hand gave the water as he reached for
ward
It has ever since been my envy and
despair It is so knowing so sporty
I class It -with being able to wear a
pink barred shirt front with a dia
mond cluster pin in it with being gen
uinely fond of horse racing with being
a first class poker player with being
delighted with the company of actors
what I give if I could be like
that My life has been a sad one but
I might find some comfort in it yet if I
could only get that natty little spat on
the water when I lunge forward swim
