Wolf Teeth iu Horses

There are some mistaken notions on
this subject The wolf teeth are supple
mental or extra teeth which have no busi>
ness in horses mouth. They are always
an injury, and not necessarily so. Nei>
tler are they necessary to mlstication-
They are supposed to irritate the mouth,
and affect the eye, causing, if not extract
ed, danger to the sight. and sometimes
blindness. This is carrying the matter
too far. Teeth have no such effect, es-
pecially such small teeth as the wolf teeth
However, there is no harm in removing
all outside or awkward teeth as they are
of no use to the animal and may be an
obstruction. Good sound teeth, well set
in the arch, are all that a horse, or any an
imal needs.
The wolf teeth arc forward of the doub-
le teeth or molars in the upper jaw. They
are small. and outside of the arch--some-
times crowded out, sometimes appearing
there supernumerary. They can easily be
distinguished from the other teeth by
their small size and their outside position.

The Growth Of Courage OH fi,e
Esastlc Field

A reasoning man, with love of ad-
venture, at first feels alarmed, and his
impulse is to run away, and if he has no
motive to stand he probably will run. But
at eacl additional exposure he grows less
timid, and after hearing canister and grape
about his cars dozen times, begins to
think lie IS not destined to be hurt. He
still feels uneasy perhaps. but the danger
acquires sort Of fascination; and though
he does not wish to &c hit he likes TO have
harrow escapes, and SO voluntarily places
himself in position where he can incur
more risk. After while he begins to
reason the matter; reflects on the doctrine
Of Probabilities, and how much powder and
lead is necessarily wasted before any one
is killed or wounded. Why shoud lie be,
he thinks, more unlucky than other peo-
pie? SO reasoning, he soon can bear the
whizzing of bullets with a tclerablc degree
of equanimity rhongh he involuntarily
lodges, or tries to dodge, the cannon balls
and shell that go bowling about his imme-
diatc neightorhood. In the afternoon he
different creature from what he was
in the morning, and unwitt;ng!y smiles to
see a nan display the same trepidation
which lie himself exhibited few hours
before. The more he is exposed to fire
the better he can bear it; and the timid
man of to-day becomes the hero of to-
morrow And he who runs from dan
ger on the first battle field may run into
it on the next, and court the hazard once
SO dreaded. Thus courage as it is styled
is little more with most men, than custom,
and they soon learn to despise what is of
ten threatened without causing them
harm
