Cheval Tree
The cheval tree is native to North Island, part of the Agaléga Islands, a territory of Mauritius. It is unique in its properties of minor adhesivity, which attracts insects: specifically, heel walkers (belonging to the Mantophasmatodea) or '' Formosozoros newi'' (belonging to the Zoraptera). The tree was named for the glue-like secretion of its bark and the use of horse-hooves for glue in former times—the French word (French is the colonizing language of Agalega) for "horse" is "cheval". The cheval and the Agalega day gecko In a symbiotic relationship, the Agalega day gecko (''Phelsuma borbonica agalegae'') feeds off the insects trapped in the viscous, though thin, sap while depositing its vitamin-rich droppings at the base of the tree. Though this may seem to more resemble commensalism than not, the droppings do in fact provide a registrable gain for the cheval tree, though it is not nearly as great as the free and ample sustenance gained by the gecko Geckos are small, ...

Cheval Mirror
The cheval glass (also cheval mirror, psyche mirror, horse dressing glass, swing glass) is a free-standing large mirror, usually with a tilt mechanism, that provided a complete reflection from head to foot (thus also the full-length mirror name). This furniture piece was created in the late 18th century for a dressing room and went out of fashion after being replaced by the mirrored doors of wardrobes in the first half of the 20th century. Construction The mirror hangs between two vertical columns frequently connected by two horizontal planks in a frame-like arrangement. Each column rests on two splayed feet. The mirror features a tilt mechanism so that it can be used at different angles, and sometimes also has a height adjustment pulley with lead counterweights. In 1803, Thomas Sheraton produced a design combined with a desk that included drawers on one side and writing surface on another. Etymology The ''cheval'' comes from the , "horse". Different explanations are given f ...

Horse Meat
Horse meat forms a significant part of the culinary traditions of many countries, particularly in Europe and Asia. The eight countries that consume the most horse meat consume about 4.3million horses a year. For the majority of humanity's early existence, wild horses were hunted as a source of protein. History Archaic humans hunted wild horses for hundreds of thousands of years following their first arrival in Eurasia. Examples of sites demonstrating horse butchery by archaic humans include: the Boxgrove Palaeolithic site, Boxgrove site in southern England dating to around 500,000 years ago, where horse bones with cut marks (with a horse scapula possibly exhibiting a spear wound) are associated with Acheulean stone tools made by ''Homo heidelbergensis,'' the Schöningen site in Germany (also thought to have been created by ''Homo heidelbergensis'') dating to around 300,000 years ago, where butchered horses are associated with wooden spears (the Schöningen spears, amongst the old ...
