The Teeth of n Horse,

At five years of age horse has forty
teeth. These are twenty-four molar or
jaw teeth, twelve incisor or front teeth,
and four tusks OF canine teeth, between
the molars and incisors, usually wanting
in the mare. At birth, only the two
nippers or middle incisors appear. At a
year old, the incisors are all visible on
the first or milk set. Before three years,
the permanent nippers have come
through. At four years old. the per-
manent dividers next to the nippers are
out. At five the mouth is perfect, the
second set of teeth having been com
pleted. At six, the hollow under the
nippers, called the mark, has disappear
ed from the nippers, and diminished in
the dividers. At seven, the mark has
disappeared from the dividers, and the
next teeth, or corners, are level, though
showing no mark. At eight, the mark
has gone from the corners, and the
horse is said to be aged. After this
time-indeed, good authorities say after
five years-the age of horse can only
be conjectured. But the teeth gradually
change their form, the incisors becoming
round, oval, and then triangular Deal
ers sometimes bishop the teeth of old
horses that is, they scoop them out to
initiate the mark butthis can be known
by the absence of the white edge OF
enamel which always surrounds the real
mark, by the shape of the teeth, and
other marks of age about the animal.

Prince Hassan and His Gloves.

We have from correspondent, says
the New York World, curious bit of
information about the young comman-
der-in-chief of the Egyptian contingent
on the Danube. Though but twenty
four years old, Prince Hassan, son of the
Khedive, is an experienced soldier, and
has already had his share of haps and
mishaps. The young prince received
his military education at Woolwich and
Berlin, after which he occupied the
office of minister,of war to his father.
During the late war with Abyssinia he
was seriously wounded and made prison
er. Although treated with great con-
sideration, King John, "to punish him, +"
as he expressed it, for fighting against
Christians" ordered that large cross
should be tattooed on the back of each
of the princes hands. This was done,
and when his wounds were healed the
young officer was releasedand returned to
Cairo. Arrived at home, Prince Hassan
consulted the best European as well as
native physicians and chemists, and
Copt sooth-sayers, promising a large
sum to any one who should rid him
of these momentoes of the Abyssinian
king. Advice was freely offered and ex-
perience tried the prince underwent
much suffering, but all in vain-the
Christian crosses were indelible. In de-
spair he finally resorted to a Dervish
for advice, and the holy man communi.
Gated remedy which, at least, had the
merit of being undeniably efficacious
"Chop off both thy hands" said lie .tc
the prince "better live without hands
than wear forever those signs of the
infdel giaours l' But Hassan relishet
it but little, and SO remains to this day
tattooed with the Christian symbols
This is why no one ever sees him with
out gloves.

The Russian Losses,

A war correspondent says the Russians
have suffered frightfully. Before their
passage of the Danube, 1000 sick were
in the hospitals, and {, 1000 were sent back
to Russia. The crossing at Braila, with
the subsequent combats at Matchin and
Babadagh cost 1900 men Zimmerman
lost ], 900 in the Dobrudscha, and inva-
lided 5000 to Russia ; the repulsed
passages from Oltenitza and Glamunda
cost 2, 900; Simnitza and Sistov, 1,4OO;
the affair at Biela, 1900 those of Rnst-
chuk and Rasgrad, 5000 the march to
Tirnova and the crossing of the Balkan,
1000; Gourkho's retreat, 1900; the
taking of Nikopolis, 2, 400; the first bat
tie of Plevna, 5000, the second, IL, 900:
their repulse from Lovdscha, 1890. In
the meantime, 10000 sick have been
sent to Russia from the main army OF the
Danube, and we have no record OF the
deaths in the hospitals, nor of the num-
Der who fell at the capture of Lovdscha
on the 9TH of September, norfin the de-
feats and during the disastrous retreats
at Karahassanhoi and from the Kara
Lom. In short, the total, as known,
considerably exceeds 10000 men.

dpetatic airs. The ladies had provided
the chiefs with button-hole bouquets,
which they either pinned on their
blankets or stuck in their scalp-lOcks.
Finally the Indians were taken to their
hotel; the Diplomatic corps withdrew
in good order, expressed great delight at
the evenings entertainment, while the
cabinet fingered and chAtted, and the
ladies laughed and laughed at their sub
iugation Of the red matt.

Whore shame has ceased to hold part.
Whone'er a good man comes to thee
Examine not his pedigree.
'Tis by his deeds, and not his gown,
pious man may best be known.
II you gentleman would know,
lis he whose deeds proclaim him so.
A words thing that flies away,
But writing may be made to stay.
II youth had wisdom, age had power,
Naught would be wanting for an hour.
You ne'er should say, and ne'er should do.
The word and deed wrath prompts you to.
Folly and anger are the same,
The difference is but in the name.
He who once proves himself knave
Doth seldom change this side the grave.
To others pardon e'er bestow,
But to thyself no mercy show.

In Scranton, upon that dark day when

more absurd than for gang of wretches who
are casting contempt upon the whole statute
book, who are committing most of the feonies
known to the law to call for justice if certain
of them happen to get shot III the course OF
their nefarious proceedings! They talk of
being depressed according to law! What have
they 10 do with law, since they have risen
with force and arms to abolish 1t altogether
They grow wonderfully nice-or their lawyers
do for them-aftcr the turmoil is over, but
why didn't they think of law when they were
bent upon forcing disorder to a gunpowder
climax If murderers, red-handed and still
continuing their violence, cannot be summarlly
dealt with. but for any injuries which they
may receive can bring actions sounding III
damages and demand coroners' warrants

been no corOners, and no justices of the peace
and no constables and no jails, then there is
no law and no government worth farthing.

who save the law one hour are to be arrested

inclined to attach much importance to the pro-
ceedings of this Coroner-Alderman if it were
not for a well-grounded fear that other dema-
gosues will be found playing the same tricks,
especially when they happen to possess little
brief authority; and, moreover, if these fan
tlstic proceedings had not done something
towards bringing back the old violence. Under
the circumstances we cannot be too glad that

The grangers, who want cheap transportation,
and the workmen who want high wages and
more costly transportation, would not readily
vote the same ticket though both willing to
plumber the same railway. Conflicting inter
ests of those who wish to control railway
property, not less than the enormous power OF
those who own it, would tend TO make the
triumph of the railway managers complete.

The debt statement of July 81 does not
state all that the business community has a
right to know. Of course, it cannot fairly be
expected that a Secretary will from month 70
month change his statements to meet every
phase of the public demand; tie less as he is
not obliged 10y law to make public any consid-
cradle pant of the information now regularly
given. But the desirableness of full ini0rma-
tion "a TO the operations Of the Treasury has
been keeniy appreciated 10y business men IN
times past.
Mr.. Sherman does 10. report any four per
cent bonds outstanding at the beginning OF
the month, although it is known that such
bonds were freely offered on the market, and
to the amount Of nearly T30,0O0,00O had
been paid for p-ior TO that time Either the cid
bonds or the cash in payment for the new, TO
the amount of $50 100000 at least, were held
by the Secretary, if Washington reports are
not wholly Incorrect and il would be very
much wiser, we feel sure, for HIM to state
each month the amount of coin held for re-
dcmptlOn of called bonds.
The reduction of debt less cash in the Treas
ury is only $S1S,90l 81, and the retirement
of legal tenders alone amounted to $3.50, 1872.
III erect, all payments to lic lIttSuiJ nihtt
July l have little less than sutliced to meet
interest payable, for there has been one sale
Of gold for resumption purposes during the
month, and the currency for the redemption of
fractional currency amounts to $500, S5S,
and the usual currency balance 10 81, 1903, 995-
50; but il is not stated whether the sum due
discussing officers has largely increased or not,
nor does il appear whether the five per cent
redemption fund, which, according to the re-
port of the Comptroller Of the Currency, ought
10 amount 10 $1j, 76l,S $40, has been main
tanned. These sums, with $14,425,0 26 re-
ported by the Comptroller as in the hands of
the Treasurer for redemption of bank notes,
amount TO $l01, 646, 100, exclusive OF the
amount due disbuIsing officers. 1t would be
quite as interesting to the business community
10 know what amount i'll legal tenders the
Treasury holds, IN different funds and under
different names, as TO know what sums in
specie are held for redemption Of so-called
bonds or interest thereon.
The reduction OF fractional currency during the
last month was only $6lS, sol -, aud the de-
cline i'm rapidity of redemption indicates that the
supply OF fractional notes in hands from which
they can be readily drawn is nearly exhausted.
An increase ia the com Understanding debt is
not unexpected nor il it surprising that the
amount of mrcdeemed called bonds is much
larger than it was last month.
