the lecture on "The Teeth Of the Horse.
as reported in the Vermont ETocman,
We lake the following:
As an index of age in the hor,c, two

seven and in the corner nippers 81 eight

served in the lower Jaw only - from
three to eight wears old we have good
almanac for telling age by the teeth,
whic1 may have exceptions, but will
hold .zood IS a rule.
Psoi. Owens t0und the typical ami
ma had forty-four teeth. By process
OF degradation some of ihsse had been
lost; in the horse two premolsrs on each
jaw leaving forty. Man had lost two
more, and those corresponding to the
corner nippers in the horse, leaving
thirtv-two remaining.

Wv Give Salt 10 Stack,

OF late quite a discussion has sprung
up among stock-rsisers and others, re,a-
tive TO feeding farm animals with salt.
and strange as il NAV seem, there Is a
goodlv number who claim that cattle
and othor animals. rs sheep. horses,
pigs. etc, thrive Just as well without
salt az with. One fact, all At the outset
Of this discussion must admit, nsmcly
that the desire for salt among animals is
almost universal, and that desire is also
very great. leading them TO travel long
distances, and often mourning great
risk TO lie. in order to reach saline de-
dosits. This physical demand is in
structive and natural, growing out Of
the organic demands a the system. In
all the mamalia, ESPECIALLY the vegetable
feeders, who from the nature OF their
food require q powerful digestion, the
necessity for salt is absolute. In the
healthy stomach OF most animals, there
is a; ali times, md particularly when
the organ Aeempty Of food, a consider
able amount OF free mursiic acid, which
acts as powerful solvent ef all vegeta-
blc ingestia. This acid, which accord
ing to physiologists is 50 essential TO
good digestion, b chiefly furnished by
the decomposition OF salt. Chemically
speaking, common salt is chloride of
sodium, formed by the union Of muratic
acid and soda. In the stomach, by
some mysterious process, salt 1akEn 81
the food or otherwise, is decompo.ed
and the mlratia seiSset fres, and thus
we have it ready in be stomach TO do
dnty in abe great vita process of diges-
tiou- Ins,iuctively oil lnimals call
loufly for salt, and II there were no
oshhr reasons for feeding j, this would
be suffl Client; Without other and better
guide il is ALWAYS safe to follow the
animal instinct, ior TO say the least Of
them, they rways point toward the
Ee.9s ~ from reasons above given,
it Il positively cruel TO withhold this
condimeut from animals that 20 strongly
desire it.-Kcnnebec Journal

Anecdote Of President Hayes.

From the Salem, Mass Gazette.
One of the best things to illustrate the
character of Mr.. Hayes is told by Boston
gentleman, native of Salem, person of
much force and determination. In the sum-
mer of 1860 he was travelling with his family
in Canada. Taking steamer at Quebec for
Haw Haw Bay, at the ouih of Saguenay
river, there came up dense fog, and the
steamer, through the incompetency of the
captain, who was grossly intoxicated, was
placed in a fearful position. The drunken
brute assured the large number of passengers
on board that he knew what he was about,
and gave orders to steer the boat in direc-
tion which would have made shipwreck inev-
liable. To all advice and remonstrance only
abuse was returned, when the Boston gentle
man said, IF four men will stand by me l
will take the command of this steamer from
this drunken man, and put the mate in
charge The first man who volunteered was
Rutherford B. Hayes, then an unknown law

Mr. Cameron is the eldest son of Simon
Cameron, and, until appointed Secretary of
War by President Grant in May, 1876, had
never held public Office. He was born in
Harrisburgh, and is about 80 years of age,
though he Las the appearance Of . much
younger man. He did not take much interest
in politics until within the past ten years.
He has profted much by his fathers expert
ence in the management of legislatures and
conventions, and has proved himself sue
cessful student in that school of politics. He
is said to be shrewd and daring leader, and
troubles himself little over consequences. He
He has never aimed to popularize himself,
even in his party, and discards all sentiment
as an instrumentality in governing men. He
has never held political Office, and never
aspired to one, with the single exception of-a
seat in General Grants Cabinet several years
ago, when his failure caused an arrangement
between the President md the Camerons,
which has been recently healed. For num-
bes of years Mr.. Cameron was President of
the Northern Central Railway of Pennsylva
mia, in which position he was succeeded by
Col. Thomas A. Scott, when the managers of
the Pennsylvania Railroad obtained con-
trolling interest in the Northern Central. lie
was a prominent member of the last State
Convention which met at Harrisburg in
March, and was by it selected as the head of
the Pennsylvania delegation to the Presiden-
tial Convention at Cincinnati. Notwith-
standing his brief experience in politics, 'Don'
Cameron, as he is universally called, is regard
ed as one of the shrewdest and most infuen-
tial politicians in Pennsylvania He is man
of ability, and possesses administrative pow
ers of high order. For some years past he
entertained an ambition for a seat in the Cab
met He is man of large fortune, estimated
at from $4,000, 600 to 100000 He is now
a widower His home is in Harrisburg.
