Number of Nails to a Horseshoe. -
Centuries ago there lived a farrier,
Walter le Brun by uvame, whose dex-
terity at the anvil on the occasion of
a great tilting meeting on the bauks
of the Thames was noticed by the
then reigning monarch, Edward 111,
who rewarded the blacksmith by
granting him sufficient land adjoining
the tilting green for the erection there
on of a forge. As quit reat he had to
present annually to the king six horse-
shoes and sixty-one horseshoe nails,
To the modern mind the number of
nails would appear to be superfluous,
but when it is rémembered that the
horseshoes of that period required ten
nails aplece it will be seen that the
calculations of Edward 111, merely al
lowed one over iu case of accident,
Furthermore, the shoes were all to be
for the horse's fore feet, from which
fact some historians draw the infer
ence that the animals ridden. in
knights’ tournaments were encouraged
to injure each other with their front
hoofs.—London News,

“Correct to a T.”
Our earliest quotation for this or for
the kindred phrases “to sult one to a
T.” “to fit to & TT.” “to know die to a
T.," is of 1603. Can any one help us
to an earlier example? No one of our
uiany instances throws any light upon
its origin, A current obvious con je
ture would explain a T" as
“a T square,” but to this there are va
rious objections We have no evi
dence as yet that the name *T square”
goes peck to the seventeenth century
and no example of its being called
simply “a T.” and In few if any of
our ipstances would the substitution
of “a T square” for “a T" make any
tolerable sense The notion seems
rather to be that of minute exactness,
as it were “to the minutest point”
But the evidence is mainly negative
If examples can be found of *T
square” before 1700 or of its reduction
