of mind, is the teeth. SO in the days of
slavery in Louisiana, | have seen the in
tending buyer at the auctions in the great
rotunda of the st. Louis hotel carefully
examining the teeth of the Glands" upon
whom they intended to bid. Horses do
not lose their teeth in their short soiourn
here so badly AS we do and they grow
longer all through life and though their
teeth are a fallacious guide to most men,
yet they are the sole index to the crca-
lures age, but they must be examined by
II horseman that knows the story they
tell.
When a horse is five years old his
mouth is full, aud has forty sound white
teeth. Now, all the world can tell his
age. AT this time, the grinding surface of
his nippers or front teeth, have what is
called II cup or mark - that is, they
dish in or show depression, dark in
color, that gradually wears away until
somewhere between eight and ten years
of age it disappears, lasting longest in the
upper corner nippers. Sklllful horse den
fists can restore this cup and color it
ut any age. But if worn out, the well
kept horse may remain at "about twelve
the remainder of his life, and may go ON
doing excellent service until he is twenty
five.
But the well-instructed veterinarian
and the observant hOrseman look at the
changing shape of the whole dental for

the removal of the lips on either side tell
the life story. When dentition is com
plete, the upper and lower incisOrs stand

full As they wear away and at the same
time grow from the jaw, the vertical ac-
ton is lost, they incline outward; the
lower jaw leans forward the most, and
the horses teeth assume in Il lesser degree
the peculiar shape attributed to old rats OF
other rodents. THIS appearance is an i'll
fallible mark of age, and am not aware
that it has been noticed by veterinary au
thorities
The frequent statement that horse.
would live to great age in a state o
nature is entirely incorrect. a horse

From the Boston Transcript


American Minister Phelps keeps on en-
an effete British aristOcracy by
his personal presence at occasions towards
which scions of nobility gravitate by an
inevitable law. His last offence was COM
mitted by attending marriage of an
American lady to an English lord. What
will become of our institutions II dyed IN
the-wool Democrats omit no opportunity
to appear in aristocratic society We no
tice further that Mr.. Phelps has been
making another speech very satisfactory
to our English friends. He evidently does
not appreciate what he is in London for,
if it is not to stir up unhappy feelings be
tween Great Britain and the United States.
AS indicating how other Democrats are
succumbing to European influence, we
copy the following paragraph respecting
Hon. :. :. Cox from the New \ Ork lIoHd :
We regret very much that our new min
lister to Turkey, Mr.. > ;. Cox, left Paris
the other day in royal railway car. This
particular carriage, set apart for peran-
bulatng kings and princes on the CONT
nent, was placed at Mr.. CoX's disposal by
the railway company as Il mark of eS-
TEEN. Mr.. Cox is Il Democrat of the in
grained species, and it is not at all likely
that he will be damaged by contact with Il
piece of monarchcal luxury, but he would
have looked much better travelling in a
secOnd-claSS carriage on Il ticket bought
and paid for out of his muniticent minis
terial salary.
This may have been writ sarkastical,'
as we doubt very much whether Mr.. Pull
itzer himself with all his Bartholdi hon
ors thick upon him, would ride in IA sec
ond-class carriage in preference to roy
al railway car The air of Europe is toe
much for democratic equality.

Sir John Mcdonald, on Reciprocity.

In debate in the Dominion Parliament,
on Monday, Sir John Mcdonald, the pre-
mier, in reply to an arraignment of the
Dominion government for entering into
an agreement with the government of the
United States by which American fishing
vessels are permitted to fish in Canadian
waters, while Il duty was to be imposed on
all fish from the Dominion entering the
United States, said it was his endeaYor to
combine the two subjects-a renewal of
the fishery treaty and at the same time
secure an extension of commercial rela-
tons with the United States-making the
one work as a lever in helping the other
along. He said that, knowing the hos
tilty Mr.. Blaine had shown toward Can
ada, he considered it useless to attempt
negotiations during the latter's term of
Office. AS Secretary of State Mr.. FIRE
lnghuySen was equally strong i'll his
opposition to the renewal of the treaty.
and when British Minister West, on be
half of the Dominion government, in an
unofficial way asked him if there was any
use in opening negotiations, he said that it
would be impossible to arrive at any salts
factory conclusion. In view of this attitude
of the two secretaries, Sir John stated, he
allowed the question to remain in abey-
ance until President Cleveland took office,
when the subject was again opened, with
the result that the United States govern
ment showed il desire TO open the fishery
question as well rs to consider the import
ant subject of a reciprocity treaty
Sir John further assured the House that
he had every reason to believe that a gen
eral reciprocity treaty would be arranged
with the United States. That the friendly
relations now existing between Can
adu and the United States might not
he disturbed he had consented to allow
American fishermen to enter the waters
of Canada until more satisfactory al
rangements might be concluded. He said
that for the past twelve years American
fishermen had been fishing in Canadian
waters and not one complaint had been
heard that they were in any way depict
ing or injuring the Canadian fisheries,
The only complaint now was that Cana
dian fish must pay duty in the United
States, and this would soon be remedied.
