How TO Know TIE AGE OF A Horse.
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 il is
four weeks old. When the corner teeth
appear, the colt is eight months old
when the latter have attained to the
height of the front teeth, it is one year
old The year old colt has the kernel
(he dark substance in the middle Of the
tooths CROWN ground out OF all the
front teeth In the third year the mid
die front teeth are being shifted and
when three years old these are substitu-
ted by the horse teeth. The next four
teeth are shifted in the fourth year, and
the corner teeth in the fifth. AT six
years the kernel is worn out of the lower
middle front teeth, and the bride teeth
have now attained to their full growth.
At seven years hook has been formed
in the corner teeth Of the upper jaw, the
kernel OF the teeth next ut the middle
fronts is worn out, and the bride teeth
begin 10 wear off At eight years of ace
the kernel is worn out of all the lower
front teeth, and begins TO decrease in the
middle upper fronts. In the ninth year
the kernel has wholly disappeared from
the upper middle front teeth, the hook
on :hc corner has increased in size, and
the bride teeth have lost their points.
In the tenth year the kernel is worn out
Of the teeth next TO the middle front 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 tie front teeth
IN the lower jaw has become triangular,
and the middle teeth are much worn
down. As the horse advances in aye
the gums shrink away from the teeth,
which, consequently, receive long, mar
row appearance, and their kernels have
become mctamorphosed into Il darki-h
point, gray hairs increase in the fore
head, over the eyes, and the chin assumes
the form of an angle.-JommH ofMe

4 GrieyOus Wrong,

There is the soundest common sense
in the following paragraph from the
Manufacturer and Buiider:
Why is it that there is such a repug-
nance on the part of parents to putting
their sons to trade. A skilled me-
chanic is an Independent man. Go
where he will his craft will bring him
support. He need ask lavors of none.
He has literally his fortune in his own
hands. Yet foolish parents-ambitious
that their sons should "rise in the
world" as they say-are more willing
that they should study for profession,
with the Chances for even moderate
success heavily against them, or run
the risk Of spending their manhood in
the gnoblc task Of retailing dry goods,
or, of toiling at the accountants desk
than learn trade which would bring
them manly strength, health and indie.
pendence, In point Of fact, the method
they choose is the one least likely to
achieve the advancement aimed at, TO,
the supply of candidates for "erranG
boys dry goods clerks, and kindred
occupations, Is notoriously overstocked
while, on the other hand, the demant
for really skilled mechanics of ever,
description is as notoriously beyond tn
supply. The crying need of this coun
try to day is for skilled labor; and tha
father who neglects to provide his so,
with useful trade, and to see that h
thoroughly masters it, does him "A griev
Gus wrong, and runs the risk of helpin,
by so much to increase the stock of i'll,
and dependent, if not vicious, mem
bers of society. 1t is stated in the re
port Of the Prison Association, latel,
issued, that of fourteen thousand fiv
hundred ana ninety.siX prisoners con
fined in the thirty States in 1867, seven
ty-seven per cent, or over ten thousant
of the number had never learned
trade. The fact conveys lesson Q
profound interest to those who have il
charge the training Of boys, and girl.

The Advocates Of Peace.

From the Age.l
The advocates of universal peace are
exerting themselves now to spread their
principles and certainly the time is OPP
perfume TO discourse of the horrors and
evils of war. We are slowly recover.
ing from the effects of our long civil
strife, and France lies torn, bleeding,
and burdened with heavy exactions,
the consequences of one of the shortest
wars ever waged. Eight months from
the time when Napoleon made his de-
claration of war, his own capital yield.
ed to Famine and force of arms, and
the short sighted and imbecile monarch,
who preciptated the strife, pays part Of
the penalty by the loss of his power.
He loses with it the pestilent prestige.
which clung to his name name that
has been fatal to the peace and liberty
of two generations of Frenchmen. In
stead, the first Bonaporte gave them
that most unsubstantial substitute, mil.
itary glory. He never did any good to
France. He has had eulogists, who
have perpctuatcd the batteries that are
always addressed to power, but 1t would
have been far better for Franco if he
had never existed. Her defensive wars
were over before he played any con-
spicuous part on The scene. The Repub-
| lie had triumphed over all its enemies
when Bonaparte found in f)reign war
the means of clcvatlng himself to pow
er, and finally overthrew the Republic.
| He brought his country, at last, to an
abasement almost as low as she has
reached through his nephew. Paris
was occupied By the enemy in 1914 and
again in 1915 and the boasted genius of
the first Napoleon, in its fruits, was no
better than the pretentious imbecility
of the second. Let us hope, for the
peace of the world that the French are
cured of B0napartism, and all countries
TO which the infection has spread had
better get rid of it. Only two years
ago, journal was published in New
York, called the ImperidList, to recon-
mend military government as better
than a free Republic. But, the igno-
minious fall Of Imperialism in France,
its now exposed corruption and feeble
ness, have, we think, cured most peo-
pie of this fancy. The American Re-
public is stronger 20 day by the over
throw of French Imperialism. There
is less encouragement for would.be imi-
tators of Soulouque and Louis Napole-
on. We wish the American Peace
Society well in its efforts to counter act
the influences that foster the war spirit;
,, among them they enumerate:
: The agencies and influences that
chiefly uphold the custom of war in
Christendom war literature, war ed.
' ucation, war establishments the special
( favor shown to the military profession
: the rewards of office and emolumenl
bestowed upon successful warriors in
their lifetime, and eulogies lavished
\ upon them after their death the wrong
+ habits of thought and feeling on the
, subject prevalent among the mass even
. of real Christians.

THE effects of emigration on Germa-
ny AMI the United States was the theme
of lecture recently delivered in Ber.
lin by Carl Kapp. A profound and
wide spread impression has been pro.
duced by the facts and deductions pre-.
sented by the speaker. In exhibiting
the immense losses of Germany by he
emigration of such large numbers Of
her inhabitants, and in alludng to the
fact, that up to this time Germany had
proved her vital force more by eduring
evils than by the positive performance
of salutary deeds, he deeply moved his
auditory. 1t was especially the calcC-
lation of the benefits which this coun-
try derived from the influx of the hum
dreds of thousands of Germans, who
had come here after having been
brought up and educated in Germany,
| at the expense of the old Fatherland,
and who now spend not only their en-
ergy but even very considerable means
which they took with them for the
benefit of the new fatherland. He
moreover, told the Berliners that the
emigration to the United States always
increased whenever anti.liberal move
ments were enforced by the German
governments, and he forwarned them
not to permit the sway of any illiberal
policy after their great achievements
during the present war, because this
would infallibly be followed by an in.
crease of the emigration, and conse.
quently large losses to their national
wealth.-Age.

PrnS ia in Paris.


Happily, the grand entry of the Ger
man army into Paris, on Wednesday,
was accomplished without any hostile
demonstrations on the part of the popu-
lace. The streets were generally deserted
by the Parisians and the sombre symbols
of mourning appropriately met the
eyes of the ViCtOrs every where on
their triumphal progress, which was "A
sort of dead march. But it was the
German cmrcrCr's crowning triumph
in which Jena and the occupation of Ber-
lin by the First Napoleon were avenged, f,
or rcvcngCd, and to even such monarchs
as claim to rule "by divine right, J"
revenge is sweet. There is, after all
much Of human nature in princes, and
Wilhelm may be pardOncd by those
who think q king no better than "any
other man" for indulging weakness
common among common men. lie may,
moreover, have deemed it part of his
kingly duty to thus aid in executing
thercvcngcs Of time and the retributions
of history.
Whatever his motive, Wilhclm's Occu-
patton of Paris, within little over half a
century after Napolcon's occupation OF
the prus,ian capital, affords a striking
illustration of political yicissitudes and
the mutations of power, and the German
people being human and bitterly re-
membcring Bonapartc's impcriou' con-
! duct and rigorous eNactions in his hour
of triumph, may be pardoned for enjoy
| ing their present position in the capltal
OF that wonderful, and rs they believe,
| wicked man and the German emperor,
who lived in that mans time and re-
members the humiliation of Prussia, Is
not too much a christian tothank heaven
for his present position in Paris, as he
did after each Of tic series Of splendid
victories won on the way. lie marched
through blood and over the bodies of &
hundred thousand slaughtered men to
reach the goal, and he, as well as Bona

man in the nineteenth century, and II
the most enlightened part of christian
Europe
The ambition and passions Of mel
now are very like they were in ancien
times in Greece, Rome and Carthage
The love of power and the desire fo
revenge are as strong now as they wer

names for Caesar, which sounds les

When Horace Greeley Travelled in Eu-
rope he was impressed with the value Of
drainage, and Immediately got an anti.
thetioal agricultural proverD to the ef-
feet that if a man don't drain his farm,
his farm would drain him. Then Horace
went to Lombardy, where he witnessed
the frucIilying influence of irrigation
by means of dams; whereupon he added
another proverb to his store of terse
sayings; "Ifa man don't dam his farm,
