The Incisors of the Horse.

The incisors of the horse, once worn
down or lost, are gone forever, but in
many species provision exists by
which the wear and tear of mastication
is compensated by the perpetual growth
OF certain members of the dental Sc
ries. This very convenient arrange
ment exists in all the rodents, or gnaw-
ers, an order of which the beaver, the
rat, and the rabbit are familiar exam
pies, and also in the elephant, wal
rus, wild boar, etc. The incisors
OF the rodents are the seat OF this
perpetual growth, and any oae who
win take the trouble to examine the
skull of rabbit will at once see how
admirably they are adapted to the ami
NAL wants. They are of curved shape,
and occupy sockets extending to the
back part of both jaws, the upper pair
describing a larger part of a smaller
circle, and the lower ones smaller
part of larger circle. Each tooth
consists of solid column of dentine,
with plate of enamel in its outer sur
face, and, consequently, diminishes in
hardness. from front to back. The con-
slant wear produced by the continual
collision of the opposing surfaces forms
an oblique chisel-like surface, sloping
from the hard enamel of the front to
the softer dentine of the back part of
the tooth. AS these teeth are perpetu-
ally growing, they require constant ex-
ercise to keep their growth within due
bounds. and the rat and others of this
most misehievous family might assign,
as an excuse for their ravages, the ne
cessity of finding constant employment
for their front teeth.-AU the Year

A wedding is announced at the

Ike most Lutheran churches, plain:
but there is an altar, with seven can

perfectly white; a pulpit midway. and

woman he holds. we hope gently, by
the hand. She is dressed plainly in
black. A long white veil depends from
her back hair, held by a circlet of ivy,
a plant in great request and reputation
here in Norway. The friends of the
bride and bridegroom, including par
ents, pass up to the platfrom with them
and take seats on either side. A priest
comes out from side door and stands
before the altar silently, with his back
to us, while the precentor from side
platform raises a sweet song, with
whose music there is not so much ac-
cord by the audience. Then the bride
and bridegroom kneel, a prayer is said,
and the two are one, and all are happy.
The bride is arrayed at the door, and
the scene is concluded, -,Sunset Goa.

Words Of Oonra ga.

A great deal of talent is lost to the
world for the want of little courage.
Every day sends to the grave a number
of obscure men, who have only re-
manned in obscurity because their tim
idity has prevented them from making
the first effort, and who, if they could
have been induced to begin, would, in
all probability have gone great lengths
in the career of fame. The fact is, in
order to do anything in this world that
is worth doing we must not stand shiv-
ering on the brink, and think of the
cold and danger, but jump in and
scramble as we can. It will not do to
be perpetualiy calculating risks and adj
iusting nice chances. 1t did very well
before the food, when a man could
consult his friends upon publication
of one hundred fifty years, and then
live to see its successes six or seven
centuries afterward; but at present, q
man waits, and doubts. and hesitates,
and consults his brother, and his uncle,
and his particular friends. till one day
he finds that he is sixty years of age;
that he has lost SO much time in con-
sulting first cousins and particular
friends that he has no time left to fol-
low their advice. There is such little
time for over squeamishness at present,
the opportunity so easily slips away,
the yery period of his life at which man
chooses to venture, If ever, is SO con-
fined, that it is no bad rule to preach
up the necessity, such instances, of q
little violence done to feelings, and of
efforts made in defiance of strict and
sober calculation.

Diamond Ont Diamond,

A good joke is told that was played
by an employe of the cartridge shop on
a friend of his who lives in neighbor-
ing town. It seems that some time
ago the Bridgeporter received batch
Of snakes eggs from his rural friend,
with full directions how to cook them
in order to make them palatable. The
Bridgeporter ''tumbled to the racket"
and Kept quiet. Soon after the sender
of the eggs sent to Bridgeport for the
use of his gun, saying, ''he was both
cred to death by woodchueks, and
wanted to kill EN-" The gun was for
warded as desired, and with it a box of
cartridges, containing wooden bullets
that had been turned and colored to re-
semble lead. a few days after word
came from the woodchuck hunter that
be hadn't killed any of the id cIisseS,
and would like some more ammunition.

and by their direction mustard poul-

while, Mrs. Adams, with some female

Gent The merits of Warmers Safe Kid
ney and Liver Cure have been proven be-
yond doubt, because they deal directly
with the causes of all female troubles;
they effect and control the body of the tree
rather than its branches. Warmers Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure has indeed been a
blessing for the rich; boon to
the poor. 1t has lifted men from
a bed of death and restored them
to vigor and health. But greater and
better than all this, it has come to woman,
has raised her, restored her and kept her in
constant hopefnlness and health. 1t ha,

The women of America, both young and
old, have greater opportunities to-day than
those of any land in any age. Their rights
are more fully recognized, their privileges
greater and their possibilities unlimited.
They are permitted to enjoy life to its full
est extent, and to do this their bodies must
be unirnpaired. I congratulate the women
of this free land that the keenness of their
perceptions has led them to discover their
necessities and what viii satisfy them I
congratulate them that they, who have
reaped the greatest benefits from the seien-

Chalmers of the merits of this great remedy

give way to the better, wiser, nobler liber-
ality IN which alone can be found true

A Painted Dog,

A man down in East End lavished a
small slice of his bank account, the
other day, in the purchase of o coach
dog. He heard it was the swell 60 in
Europe to own coach dogs. Every lord
of the realm owned one. So he bought
the dog at round price and brought
him home. Next day he got out his
coach, and tied the pup under it as a
preparatory step in the young canine
education.
Now there were two immensely in
terested spectators to the preparations
for the training. Two mongrel ours
next door were watching things. and,
Selling up the carriage pup. they finally
winked at each other, and said. in dog
language, Il guess we're about one
pound heavier than that brute; let
chew his hide off,
The coach started, and the coach dog,
which being attached by chain. as
natural consequence started, too. Just
as the coach was gaining impetus, the
mongrel ours made q dash at the thor

We're fraught with frightful howls, yells
and shrieks. By the time the coacher
got down to the rescue OF his blooded
pet the damage was done. The dog
had plenty of coaching for one day,
and he concluded he would not go an
other step unless the chain and axle
dragged him. Smother day, then, !"
said the owner, as he ran his coach IN
the stable. and put his pup on ice to
cool off. Next day was but repetition
of the former days trouble. The mon

two dogs with one, rather than train

respondent. One day he met friend.
A happy thought struck him. Would
his friend lend him that bull dog for
Just one day. He would. Bull was
taken to the coacher's house, and an
artist called in. Brush and paints were
brought into use, and in less than a
iiffy Bull was a fac simile of the coach
dog. Without waiting for paint to dry
on Bulls hide, the experimental hied
him off, and rugged up his coach. Then
Bull was led out and tied to the axle
without q chain, but wee bit of a
string that wouldn't embarrass him IN
case of an ASA lt from an unknown
foe.
The two mongrel dogs, as usual, were
watching things with smiles on then
benign faces.

Then they jumped on him.
