Rubber Overshoes fob Horses.— Rubber overshoes for horses are a recent invention which promise to be a boon to the equine inhabitants of paved cities. The shoe is made and lined in precisely a similar manner to the articles of apparel worn by the human race, and, in fact presents no points of difference, save in its shape and its manufacture of the best quality of india rubber. It is designed as a substitute for the iron shoe, and as a means of preventing the many maladies to which horses’ feet arc subject. “ Sandalwood,” says the Fiji Times, “ is becoming an important item of export from the group. Several tons have been shipped, Sydney forming the chief market for this decorative and highlyperfumed article, so useful to cabinetmakers.”
