ORIGIN OF CARRIAGEs.-The oldest car
riages, used by the ladies of England, were
called whirlicotes. These became unfash-
lonable after Ann, the daughter of Charles
~. and Queen of Richrrd Il, about the
end of the fourteenth century, showed the
ladies how gracefully they could ride on a
slde-saddle. Coaches were first known in
England in the year 1880. They were in
troduced from Germany by the Earl of
Arundel. They came into general use
among the nobility in the year 1905. The
celebrated Duke of Buckingham was the
first who rode in a coach and six horses !:
to Iridicule this pomp, the Earl of North
cumberland put eight horses to his carriage.
Coaches let to hire were first established in
London in 1925. They were only twenty
OF them kept at the principal inns. In the
year l63l there We're fifty hackney coaches;
in 1864 they were 200; in 1894 there were
limited to 200; and in 1755 to 500; there
are now 1,100.-TW Wood and Iron.

ARTIFICIAL TEETH PREHISTORIC Pro
DUCT.-Dr. Van Marter, of Rome, has pub
lIshed an interesting account of the
evidences discovered by him cf prehistoric
dentistry in Italy. In the museum of Cor
nelo Tarquinius, city on the Mediterra-
mean coast, he found two specimens of
ancient dentistry, which the Mayor of that
city certifies were found upon the first
opening of the buried Etruscan tombs. and
Professor Heilbig gives assurance that
these were virgin tombs, dating back four
or five centuries before the Christian era.
In one of the specimens the two superior
central incisors are bound by band of
very soft gold to teeth on either side the
artificial teeth are well carved, evidently
from the tooth of some large animal. One
other artificial tooth was held by the same
band but it is lost.

DECEPTION AS To AGE-Many practices
are current by which the teeth of horses
are so tampered with as to give false inn
preston as to age. To guard against such
deception, an English exchange recon-
mends the purchaser to bear the following
points always in mind: First-That old
horses have as rule long teeth, and in
cisions on these are always of an artificial
character Second-If the middle teeth of
the lower jaw only show incisions, they
are sure not to be natural. Tnird-The
broad teeth of young horses stand in a
marked halfcircle, and those of old ami
mails in a straight line. Fourth-Natural
incisions are only visible upon the smooth
surface of oval-shaped teeth. Rascally
traders can disguise these points to greater
or less extent, but shrewd and practiced
eye will usually detect them Exchange.
