The colt is born with twelve grinders,
When four front teeth have ma6o their
appearance, the colt is twelve DAYS old.
and when the next four come forth, It
is four weeks old. When the corner
teeth appear, the colt is eight months
old, and when the latter have attained
the height of the front teeth, il is one
year old.
The two-year old colt has the kernal
the dark substance in the middle Of
the tooth's crown-ground out Of all the
front teeth.
In the third year the middle front
teeth are being shifted and when three
years old these are substituted for the
horse teeth. The next four teeth are
shifted in the fourth year, and the cor
ner teeth in the fifth.
At six years the keTnal is worn out Of
the middle front teeth, and the bride
teeth have now attained to their full
growth.
At seven year hook has been formed
on the corner teeth Of the upper jaw;
the kernal of the teeth next at the mid
die fronts is worn out, and the bride
teeth begin 10 wear off,
At eight years Of age, the kernal ia
worn out OF all the lower front teeth,
and begins to decrease in the middle and
upper fronts.
In the ninth year the kernal has
wholly disappeared from the upper mid
die front teeth, the hook on the corner
tooth has increased in size, a. the bri-
die teeth lose their points.
In the tenth year the kernal has worn
out Of the teeth next TO the middle
fronts Of the upper jaw and in the
eleventh year the keFnal 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 have
become triangular, and the bride teeth
are much worn down. As the horse adj
vances in age, the gums shrink away
from The teeth, which consequently re-
ceive a long, narrow appearance, and
their kernels have been metamorphosed
into darkish point, gray hairs increase
in the forehead, over the chin assumes
the form of an eagle.

A Negro Hegira.
[NashvilIe tTean.l RepublIean.l

A hegira of negroes has set in for
Kansas and Mississippi. To some e1.
tent the drought of last season is sug-
gested as the cause of this sudden exod-
us from a locality where wheat promises?
a bountiful harvest this spring. About
FIVE hundred blacks, coming from Giles,
Maury and Rutherford counties, passed
through here via the Northwestern road
Friday for Kansas. 1t is said that hun
dreds more will follow them, but will
divide, some going to Mississippi and
others to Kansas. Two colored minis
tered from Rutherford county were con-
templating a departure for the West and
South The most harmful result to fol
low so great an exodus of farm laborers
is in the possibility Of not getting all
the wheat harvested. The only means
of supplying this loss Of labor will be
the encouragement of the emigration Of
white laborers and farmers from other
States. To do this, every inducemeni
should be held out TO promote an influx
of whites from the Northern States and
Europe.

Many years ago, when David Crockett
was a member of Congress, and had re-
turned to his constituents after his first
session, a "nation" of them surrounded
him one day, and began TO interrogate
him about Washington. "What time
do they dine at Washington, Colonel?'
asked one. "Why," said he, common
people, such as you here, get their din
ners at o'clock, but the gentry and big
uns dine at 3. AS for the Representa-
tives, we dine at A, and the aristocracy
and the Senate, they don't get their vic

tempting to appoint a time in accord
ance with the dignity of the station,
"Old Hickory? well he don't dine till

A queer duel was fought in Paris in
1903 between NJ. Grandpre and M. LIE
Pique. They fought in balloons, each
accompanied by his second, and each
armed with a blunderbuss to shoot at
his antagonists balloon. The ascension
was from the garden of the Tulleries, and
the throng of spectators was immense.
The balloons were cut loose at the
same moment, and as there was little
wind, they rose together, keeping about
their original distance of eighty yards
apart. At half mile above the earth
the firing began. LIE Pique's shot miss
ed, and LIE Grandpre's passed through
the enemy's balloon, which collapsed,
and lie Pjque and his second were dash
ed to pieces in striking the earth.

Red Pepper and Poultry.

pepper; but have found so much bene-
fit from its use in my poultry yards and
bird cages, that it may not be amiss to
call the attention of others to its good
properties | do not speak of the article
that is sold in the drug stores (and some
times not remarkably fresh) but of the
capsicum that grows in our gardens. /
have tried all the different varieties, and
find the most pungent and etficacious is
the small kind usually known by the
name of birds pepper The plant in
itself is beautiful object; it grows
about two feet high, and in autumn its
bright little scarlet berries look like coral
foliage. Indeed, enc plant in pot
forms a very pretty ornament for
flower stand The seeds possess a stimu-
lating and regiyfng property, ana / flnd
that two or three given to newly hatehed
chickens, especially if they are weakly,
have most happy effect. If hen
looks feeble after moulting, six of the
berries or pods, given daily in some corn
meal and sweet milk, improve her won
derfully. Last summer two of my
finest canaries began to droop. Every

bird pepper, and in less than week
they were quite we'll. The same remedy
