BS re LITTLE forethought and a couple of f dollars of additional expense would Save many. painful sights on the streets of New York. this snowy weather, Regardless of. the unnec- _ essary pain and. the positive cruelty, It would be thought the owners of for their own pockets to keep their _ horses properly shod. Aléng the water front, on the trucking streets like West Broad- way, on Broadway itself, and even In the fashionable shdpping and resi- Gextial districts uptown, hundreds of horses have been permanently in- ss Jured fn the ‘last few days by falls. In nine cases out of ten the horses ‘, fall because they are not properly shod. Many of these horses have been so injured that they cannot be used for some time. Some broke thelr legs or were so permanently crippled that they had to be shet. ‘A horse not properly shod can pull only part of a full load on a Mippery pavement. - To shoe a horse so that he will not slp is a very simple matter. In ordinary weather, when the pavement Itself furnishes a secure foothold, borses are shod with flat shoes and with blunt calks. With a rough footing a hors¢ can pull a full Ipad when shod In this manner. But as; soon as the streets become covered with snow and ice flat thoes are like-a pair of skates or sled runners, and glide along the ice without affording any secure foothold. The horse is unable to pull be- cause he cannot get a firm grip iwith his feet. It is difficult for him even his to walk, because his feet tend to follow the grade of the street and go in divergent directions. oF i sill 2] Hi i> ae On #2, * Remedying this is easy. Everyman knows that with rubber soles or heels or heel clamps he can easily walk on ice, Gvery horseshoer keeps rubber pads and horse- shoes with sharp calks, which are equivalent to heel plates on men. It costs about $2 more to have a horse shod in this way than with the ordinary shoes. 8 The additional cost pays for itself in two days, because a horse can- not haul half a toad on a slippery surface unless he is properly shod. Sharp calks are made detachable, so that when they wear off others can be screwed in the shoe at a cost of only a few cents. The rubber * pads last a month or longer with ordinary use. When ‘a horse falls down he frequently breaks the harness or shaft or pole. The cost of repairing these amounts to as much as a whole ‘winter's rubber pads and:sharp calks. A good tnick horse is worth from $300 to $400. . If his fall “wrenches his shoulder or a leg it diminishes his value two-thirds, If he breaks'a leg he has to be shot and his whole yalue is gene. 5 The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has had the care of these, matters delegated to it by legislation at its, own solicitation, and it ‘receives from: the public ‘treasury payment for the perform- ance of its duty. The dissensions between. different factions in this society are a. matter of ‘public knowledge, but that is no excuse for its failure to perform Its proper © functions so long as it draws public funds. : x , .

[APPHE western shore of Lake Erle was thronged with people one Septem < T ber day in 1818. They were gathered as spectators to one of.the most maryellous sights on record—a naval battle on whose Issue hing ax country’s fate. - 2 Gen. Harrison had held the British at bay tn Michigan, but could not drive them out so long as’ Lake Eris was in control of the enemy, For England had already seen that her hope of holding Michigan and the North west againet the Americans Jay in the presence of a powerful fleet on the ake, 80 the British Commodore, Barclay, had entered Lake Krie with a formidable squadron of six great warships mounting sixty-three guna. To offset this and gain posseasion of the lake, whicn was the key te the British position in tho Northwest, a Yankee flect of nine vessels (smal Jer than Barclay’s rquadron and carrying only fifty-four gums), was fitted Jout and placed under the command of young Capt. Oliver Hazard Perry, |Early on the morning of Sept: 10 the rival: fleets approached each other, On the outcome of their meeting depended the mastery af the, Northwese and, perhaps, that of thé whole war: Small wonder that the throng of coun lives, thelr homes, their future swung in the balance. u rence, named for the slain captain of the Chesapealce, | Bes{des this he had two more brigs, the Niagara and the Caledonia; five schooners.and a sloop. As he bore - down upon the enemy Perry raised the Lawrence's » > fiag.. At sicht of it a cheer broke from all the Amer} can craft and from the shore. For it bore the dead captain's deathlese : words: “Don’t give up the ship!" Then the Yankee fleet rushed into ao- tion, the Lawrence leading, and heading for the Detroit, a far larger Brit. Ish ship. The English guns were of longer range than ours, and at mile and-a-halt distance they opened a murderous fire on tho Lawrence. Their object was to sink her and to kill Perry, knowing they would thus have {the American flect at thelr mercy. For two hours Perry, unable to bring his guns into action on account of the distance, was forced to endure this tusillade.’ The Lawrence, which appears to have been as unlucky as her {lustrious namesake, was shot to pieces. Perry, seizing the “Don't-give-up-the-ship” flag, leaped into an open - bont and was rowed across to the twenty-gum Niagara, which was still in ¢ fairly good{condition. Seeing this move, the British markmanship was centered on his boat. Bullets and roundshot whizzed about the young man's erect, defenseless figure. The oars were smashed to matchwood in the rowers’ hands and the boat almost swamped. But in time the perilous trip was completed, and Perry climbed ‘unhurt aboard the Niagara, from whoee masthead his “Don't-give-up-the-ship” flag now floated. Perry at once signalled to the remnants of his little squadron to close in, and sent all his ehips crashing through the centre of ths enemy's line, Passing trough the British fleet:at close quarters, giving and taking a deadly hailstorm of leaden missiles; then, as ne reached the rear of the enemy's, line, he turned his squadron about and poured broadside after broadside {nto the British at point blank space. The action was general now, andthe rival vessels manoeuyred within short pistol range of one another, every broadsde or musket shot ecoring terribly. No fight so heavily | Waged could endure long. ¢ Suddenly, at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the order “Cease firing!® }was passed from vessel to vessel. The smoke iifted and the people on |shore eaw why the battle had eo unexpectedly come to an end. From the British flagship flew the white flag of surrender! 3 ; A cheer rang from fleet to shore and back again, reverberating for miles through the still September:alr. Out of the tangled mass.of wreok- jae, smashed spars and useleés ropes, the two fleets—victor am yan |quishod—drew apart. Perry's victory had saved th Northwest and | made {t possible for Gen. Harrison to chase the British and Indians out of: | Michigan and demolish the Hnglish Gen. Proctor’s army. Perry's curt l@eport of the battle of Lake Erle has become a historic saying. Instead fot filling many pages with a recital of his exploit, his firat despatch to « | Harrison contained merely the following nine short words: Ps “WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND THEY ARE OURS!” $ ‘ ua Te The Lawrence's Flag and What It Meant @ “We Have he Enemy anc They Are Ourt.” Elsewhere we were less fortunate on sea in 1818. Apart, from the loss of the Chesapeake and Argus)! other naval disasters followed thick and fast.

On the Essex during thie‘crulse was a twelveyear old midshipman, David Farragut by name, who was one day to make history. Admiral Cockburn, with a British equadron too powerful for our weak little navy to check, ravaged the Atlantic coset from Charleston to Dela- ware Bay, slaying, burhing, pillaging; Jeaving behind him the smoking ruins of countleas towns and villages. Other similar squadrons harried the Northern coasts unopposed. The year 1813 ended adversely for America. On shore we had barely | wom back what we had lost in 1812.
