not common 70 other. anina1s, namely;

not common 70 other aniniI1s, namely
that the teeth are growing continually
from their development to the animals
death. They are forced up from their
sockets to supply the material removed
by attritiOn. Tushes are never shed;
they make their appearance between
the animals four and half and fifth
year, hence if they are just protruding
we know, without any confirmatory ev-
idence, the holse's age. Either at birth
or from one to four days afterward. the
colt has four milk teeth, called the Gen.
trails. The lateral teeth appear between
four and six weeks after birth, the cor
ner teeth about the eight month. The
centrals, or those which first make their
appearance, are shed between two and
half and three years; the laterals are
shed between three and half ard four
years; the. corner teeth between four
and hall and five. About this time
or a little before the tushes are full
grown, the animal is said, in horse
mans phraseology, to have full mouth.
We come now to the important part of
the subject, where an animals age is
determined by tie appearance of the
black spots, or more correctly, the in
fundibulum. The infundibulum or
black marks are worn out of the supe-
riOr or smooth surface of the lower jaw
at 6 years old, and that OF the lateral
are commencing to disappear, and is
completed at the 7th year, thus at this
age we find the wearing surface of both
central and lateral inferior teeth smooth /;
the black marks having been worn
away by attritlon, and the marks of the
corner teeth begin to disappe ar, and
have entirely disappeared when the
animal becomes Syears old. The horse
is now considered "aged," and no con-
scientious veterinary surgeon or horse
man would positively assert the ami
mails age, only approximately. Some
people aver they can determine the ex-
act age by signs other than the teeth,
but such indications are unreliable. As
the annual advances in age his teeth
gradually grow long, and appear to be-
come more horizontal. The mouth
which at 5 years old was cup-shaped,
now loses this appearance and becomes
elongated The teeth which were, in
the age last mentioned, nearly perpen-
dicular, are now slanting, and this pro-
cess appears with advancing age. As
horse becomes old the enamel loses its
original beautiful whiteness, and as
sumes a cloudy or smoky yellow in
stead, and becomes striated with brown
and black marks, and the tushes infre-
Quently drop.

Sensible Etiuuette.

Mrs. II. G. Ward has written book
on Sensible Etiquette" and under the
caption Of Breaches Of Good Man
ners " some of the most common forms
of incivility are touched upon.
Everywhere children are taught that
aflectation and pretense are vulgaritles;
that it is a vulgarity to yawn without
making some effort to suppress it, or
without concealing the mouth; to
whistle or hum in the presence of older
persons, whether in railway cars or in
houses, or to make any mOnotonous
noise with feet or hands, beating time,
ETC.; to play with napkin rings, or with
any article ut the table during meal
time; to pick the teeth with the fingers;
to cut or clean the nails outside of ones
dressingroom; to lounge anywhere in
the presence of company; to place the
elbows on the table or to lean upon it
while eating; to take hold Ofpersons or
to touch them with familiarity when
talking to them. to speak of absent per-
sons by their first name when you would
not so address them if they were pres
ent, to acquire the habit Of saying "you
know, says he" and Essays she;" to
use slang words; to tattle, to scratch
the head or person; to whisper in COM
pany; to hide the mouth with the hand
when speaking; to point at anyone or
anything with the finger; to stare at
persons; to laugh at ones own stories
or remarks; to toss articles instead Of
handing them; and to take anything
without thanking the one who waits
upon you (excerting at table,, be it
superior, an equal or inferior. Every
where, also, children are taught that it
is rudeness to stand in the way with
out instantly moving when another tries
to pass; not to say, 81 beg pardon"
when you have in any way inconven-
fenced some one; starting up suddenly
and rushing from the room without
asking to be excused; going before older
persons, who are entitled to precede
you, when leaving room with them
leaving the table with food in the mouth !;
taking possession Of the seat that belongs
to another, and not rising instantly
upon his return: leaving any one with
outsaying "good-by," or giving, at least,
a bow; interrupting any one in CONVEX
sation; contradicting, pushing or even
coming in contact with another unin-
tentionally without begging pardon for
the seeming rudeness; want of punctu-
atty; neglecting to answer notes and
letters promptly, especially those re-
curing information; rediculing others
passing any one whom you know with
out speaking, with whom you are on
speaking terms; keeping the hat on in
the presence of a lady; and many other
equally important things which are
looked upon in the same light every
where.

There is one impertinence which
Washington society will no longer toll
crate. We do not refer to the unseemly
habit of asking a mature single lady
her age. This is insolent, but may be
forgiven. But to ask society " colonel +"

has gone quite far enough.

Old Clothes,

1t is wonderful what an amount of
adaptability there is in old clothes, and
how readily they consent to be made
over, brushed up, washed, sponged,
dyed, or otherwise rejuvenated, till it
would almost require an expert to tell
that they were not new. A cunning
hand can indeed make a very presentable
garment from two old ones and who
of us that has bestowed some ancient
article upon our washer or herb woman,
but is more or less amazed to see to what
good account she turns it, how fairly it
rewards her pains, and what lesson
drops from the folds of this bit of cast
off clothing? If there are sermons in
stones, old clothes preach to us, some
times, as well. There is a charm, per-
haps, in wearing them which those who
make haste to put on new ones fail to
recognize there is always the certain
pleasure of saving the new ones at
least the surety that no accident OF the
day can greatly afflict us that we are
not obliged to move IN Difference to our
attire that we can ramble in the woods
without anxiety that neither sun nor
rain can disturb our tranquility; that a

has no alarm for us. In our old clothes
we can romp with the children, and little
fingers where bread and molasses yet
linger have no terrors for us. If we
need to transplant our flowers, to weed
the garden bed, to pick the peas for
dinner, how plainly precept and example
point to the old clothes how comfort
able we are in them 1t is the old shoe
that never pinches or squeaks, the old
gown that never interrupts digestion or
peace of mind, the old glove that has
shaped itself to the hand, the old cloak
that advertises our approach to our
neighbors, and gives them notice to
change the baby's apron and set the
room to rights, the old hat that is not
afraid to be caught in a shower. They
have adapted themselves to our require
ments they suit us, as nothing new
was ever known to do. eff you have
any enterprise before you, try it in your
old Clothes" says the sage of Walden
Woods; yet such is the common preju-
dice against them, that a stranger thus
apparelled would fall under some sus-
picion among us being in possession
of no other data from which to infer her
social and mental position, we should
naturally accept.~.th antiquity of her
clothes as a certificate of inferiority.
At the same time, this fact in no way
diminishes the ability of old cl othes to
confer happy-go-lucky mood upon the
wearer, who is not obliged to mind his
p's and q's for fear of ruffling his plum
age.-BGyGT.

A summer sermon,

summer sermon,
Just as tired as they can be
Robby and dolly and May make three,
And overhead,
just under the shed,
That little brown bird makes four, you see.
''Such horrid old rainy day!
What can we ever find to play,
Pent in the house
Like a trapped-up mouse
It's just too bad !" whimpered little May.
"'The earth is the Lords, I've heard her say
And, whether the sky be blue or gray,
Whether it snow,
Or whether it blow.
Hasn't the Lord right to his way?
"Thin k, you children who grumble so,
Who sends down the rain on the earth below,
And don't forget,
Whenever you fret,
The Father sent it, and He must know"
'Foolish childlen," the rod roso said,
As she popped in the window her shining head.
'Look at me,
Don't you see,
But for rain were withered and dead?"
'Oh Of course" said Robin Adair,
'School-days are always bright and fair;
It's always so,
I'd have you know
And Saturdays rains too much to bear ~
Hush, little boy ~ the sparrow said,
From his perch on the beam over Robby's head,
'I'm only-a bird,
But I've often heard
What your mother out of her Bible read.
Foolish children, who eat the grain,
And fret at the soft sweet Summer rain,
Which tickles the roots
or the corn and fruits
And bids them blossom and bear again"
''Wicked and foolish !" sang bird and rose
when even the meanest wedding knows
It's only the rain
Tho Heaven-sent rain
That brings new life to each thing that grows,
wicked and foolish ?' sighed little May;
'Robby, let's go away and play
Never again,
At the Summer rain.
Will fret and grumble the live-long day !"

kinds. Soon, offerings of food begin TO
come in from the neighborhood, and are
drawn up by ropes to- the platform
these are, mostly, baskets of boiled rice,
and have a bit of wood holding a red
paper stuck in the middle of the rice. 1
suppose the giver's name is upon the
paper, and after the feast the baskets
seem to be restored to the persons who
brought them; the rice can then be taken
away, and eaten at home.
At length the platform is we'll laden
with food, which remains exposed in the
sun and wind for several hours, during
which time great noise is kept up with
gongs and other musical instruments,
partly, suppose, like dinner bell to
call ghosts, and partly to amuse the
men and boys who gather in an inter-
ested crowd around the platform.
Late in the afternoon the head men
begin to distribute the feast. The
baskets of food are carefully lowered;
the cakes are broken up, and the pieces,
with the oranges and other fruits, are
fIuug hither and thither among the
crowd, who scramble merrily after them,
sometimes half dozen rushing after
the same fragment, and now and then a
man trying to Chamber up the poles to
secure portion before it falls. When
the stage is cleared the crowd disperses,
and the Ghosts Feast is ended.

seem unlucky to the Chinese, and lead
them to seek new place for this years

Let us hope they will do so, for to

Fashion Notes.

Grenadines and all tissue fabrics are
made with low waist lining.
The prominent features of the new
basque are the combination proportions.
Upturned pleats are still admired in
the arranging of draperies of all kinds.
Lisle thread gloves for gentlemen and
ladies are preferred for summer wear.
Deep collars and tiny capes give a
novel and somewhat dressy effect to the
toilet.
A handsome wrap" for the shoulder
can be formed of silk, lace, gauze, and
tissue.
A noticeable change has been instituted
in the formation of drapery. This scarf
like transition alludes more particularly
to light suits.
Lace mitts and long lace gloves, of
bright and pale dyes, are much admired
for full toilets. Lace mitts are also worn
on the promenade.
Shoulder drapery gives a classical fin
ish to a princesse dress. These shoulder
garnitures are called "wraps," and are
represented in mode goods.
Etruscan jewelry is very popular.
Jewelry enameled in imitation of Hindoo
ideas is pretty. Plain carved gold is much
worn. Chatelaines are fashionable for
dressy occasions.
Velvet bands, with clasp and fringed
ends of silver and gold, or simply tied in
a pretty bow, are much worn.
One of the daintiest and most bscom-
ing seasonable toilets is either lawn or
muslin. Some of the patterns and the
delicacy of designs are positively poeti
cal attractions, 80 far as expression of
dress can be displayed. The self-garni-
lures, combined with lace edgings, con-
stitute the chief embellishments.

An old bachelor was rather taken a. back
a day or two ago, as follows: Picking up
book, he exclaimed, upon seeing a
wood-cut representing man kneeling at
the feet of woman. Before I would
ever kneel to the feet of woman 1
would encircle my neck with a rope and
stretch it." And then turning to a
young woman he inquired: "Do you
not think it would be the best thing l
could do ?" cit would, undoubtedly,
be the best thing for the woman," was
the sarcastic reply.

Words of Wisdom.

Those who never retract love them
selves better than the truth.
The mercy that can forgive our in
iquity will never be severe to mark our
frailties.
The wealth of soul is measured by
how much it can feel; its poverty by
how little.
Affections are the feet of the mind,
and therefore set watch over them,
lest they make her miscarry.
Riches would be little esteemed if
they did not furnish vanity with the
pleasure of having what others have not.
The chief properties of wisdom are to
be mindful of things past, careful of
things present, rrovident of things to
come.
The narrow-minded ask, Is this one
of our tribe, or is he q stranger ? But
to those who are of noble disposition
the whole world is but one family.
The best means to learn our faults is
to tell others of theirs they will be too
proud to be alone in their defects, and
will seek them in us and reveal them to
us.
A man who is not able to make bow
to his own conscience in the morning, is
hardly in a condition to respectfully
salute the rest of the world during the
day.
Very few people go into an argument
IN order to discover the truth of the
matter. They want to hold their own
and rout the enemy. Hence, the general
loss of temper.
