The colt Is born with twelve grinders.
When four front teeth have made their
appearance, the colt is twelve days old;
and when the next four come forth the
colt is four weeks old. When the corner
teeth appear the colt Is eight months
old; and when the latter have attained
to the heighth of the front teeth, IL is
one year old. The two-year-old colt has
the kernel-the dark substance in the
middle Of the tooth scrown-ground out
Of all the front teeth. The next four
teeth are striped in TIE fourth year, and
the corner teeth OH the fifth. At seven
years, hook has been formed on the
corner teeth of the upper jaw; the ker-
mel of the teeth next at the middle front
is worn out, and the bride teeth begin
to wear off. At eight years Of age, the
kernel Is worn out of all the lower front
teeth, and begins to decrease In the
middle upper front In the ninth year,
the kernel has wholly disappeared from
the upper middle front teeth, the hook
on the corner teeth has increased in size,
and the bride teeth lose their points,
In the tenth year the kernel is worn out
of the teeth next the middle fronts of
the upper jaw; and In the eleventh year,
the kernel has entirely vanished from
the corner teeth Of the same jaw. At
twelve years old, the crown of all the
front teeth, in the lower jaw, has become
triangular, and the bride teeth are much
worn down. AS the horse advances In
age, the gums shrink away from the
teeth, which consequently receive q
long, narrow appearance, and their ker-
nels have become netamorphosed into
darkish point; gray hairs increase in the
forehead, over the eyes, and the chin as
sumes the form Of an angle.
A GOOD ONE.-"Can you tell me, SIR"
said stranger to gentleman in ball
room, who that lady is near the second
very vain looking lady?'
THAT is my sister, SIR" replied the
person addressed, with a very formidable
look.
mo, no, I don't mean her." said the
unfortunate interrogater. ~ mean that
ugly woman leaning against the piano;
there's about as much expression In her
face as In bowlof bonny-clabber."
"That, sir, II my wife,
mo, no." groaned the miserable
stranger, the perspiration starting from
every pore. "Good gracious! I wish I
could make you understand me! mean
that blear-eyed object in the pink silk,
the one 80 awful homely-I should be
afraid she would splinter looking glass
just by looking into it. There, she is
looking at u.s."
THAT, sir" said the gentleman, with
fierce calmness, ''is my eldest daughter" !"
The stranger darted from the room, and
cleared the premises as though he had
been struck with prcscntiment that a
powder magazine was going to explode
In that room in less than three seconds.
An Automatic Horse-- How the
World is Hoaxed.
The following fabrication, translated
by friend from La Ia'csse, of Paris,
must hsve startled the credulity Of even
the French:
The progfess of American industry
seems to know no bounds. Mr.. J. +.
Aspic, Of Cincinnati, has just invented a
horse which moves by machinery, and
which Is destined to supplant the vulgar
chargers in 1esh and bone. This horse
is OF the natural size, and by different
contrivances could be made to walk, trot,
amble or gallop. The rider has but to
move bolt for the purpose ofregulating
the gait.
This horse will shy, move the eyes,
prick up the ears and neigh. By pc
culiar Contriyanoe he is enabled to swim
through smooth or rough water. The
invention Of Mr.. Aspic q at present be
yond tho reach Of most purses, - his
model horse has not cost him less than
20 IN getting mp, exclusive Of hi
labor and trouble; however, he hopes
to be able iAitame 70 rednce the price one
This eminently useful invention Is /,
be exhibited at the Universal Exposi
ton at Paris. The great advantage Q
