For Telling Horses Ages.

The full grown horse possesses
twenty four back teeth, that is, six
in each side of each jaw; these are
called molars or grinders. He has
twelve front teeth; that is, six in
each jaw. Mares have no tushes.
The foal has either at his birth, or
shortly afterward, eight milk .eeth;
that is, four in each jaw; at about
twelve months two more milk teeth
come in each jaw. These remain
unchanged until he is about three
years old. The mouth OF. the year.
ling and two year-old cannot be
cOufounded. The yearling mouth
shows no signs of use, and the cor
ner teeth are shells only; at two
years old these teeth are sJrong
and well grown, and the corner
teeth filed up. A little before three
years the two center teeth of each
jaw fall out, and are replaced by
permanent ones. A little before
five tha-tNo remaining teeth are
Shed, and in their place come per
Inaneat ones. The upper milk
teeth usually fall out first.
Thus the mouth is complete as to
its front teeth; the corner tooth,
however is but imperfcctly devel-
oped, being at present a shell only;
this shell at six years old has filed
up and is Il complete tooth. This
is the difference between FIVE and
ASK year old. The tushes appear
between three and one half and
Jour years old, and they take near
~ two years to arrive at their full
growth. These teeth, as the horse
grows older, get blunter and short
er, and so to an experienced judge
are sure indications Of age. Up to
six years old the mouth Is in dis
tincG and periodical state of struc-
lural change. There is no difficulty
i'll determining the age up to that
Date. After that the age must be
judged by the shape of the mouth
and the appearance of the teeth
called the mark. AT six years of
aye the cuts leave the two centre
teeth above, at seven the next two
above, at eight the outer or corner
teeth above.
AL nine the two center teeth be-
low loose the cuts, at ten the next
two below, and at eleven the outer
or corner teeth below. After a lit
tic practice the close observer can
scarcely make a mistake. The
changes that occur are the same in
all horses, or nearly so.-Sports-

Some of the newspapers are publish
ing oracnlar statements in regard TO the
effect of the eight hour movement. Ac-
cording to these, IL eight hours work with
no reduction of pay becomes the general
custom, the prices of everything will be
increased 20 per cent, and therefore the
workingman will be worse off than he is
now; the two hours gained by the work
ingman will DO spent In the saloon and
tavern, &c, &c. These are the same
arguments that were used years ago when
the ten hour law was agitated. Then
most branches of the trades worked twelve
hours. But experience has shown that
the evil predicted by allowing men the
enjoyment of additional hours of leisure,
never was realized. Prices were not ma
terially increased, and drunkenness be.
came no more common.
However much abstract reasoning may
show that there must necessarily be a
falling off of 20 per cent. in productive
ness, and, consequently the ability to pay
wages will DO reduced to that extent, YET
the practical application in the past of 0
two hours reduction has not shown such Q
result, and there is no reason to infer that Q
further reduction of the hours Of labor
would produce different results from
those previously observed. In fact, there
is reason for shortening the hours of Ia
Dor that is quite weighty, that did not
formerly exist, independent of the ques-
ton of rest to the workingman, and that
is this: The scarcity of labor during the
rebellion, melted the invention of labor
saving devices and machinery to that ex-
tent that it is not extravagant 10 assert
that in many branches of business twice
the amount of work is now done with the
same amount of hands as was the case
previous to 1862. This being SO, 1t is no
wonder that mills run on half time, be-
cause the markets are glutted.
Unless the workingman is to be put
down to lower wages owing to the glut Of
labor in tho market, he must have
share in the benefit which machinery has
given the manufacturer, and the only way
this can be done Is by shortening the
hours Of work.
Even should this result in higher prices
for manufactured articles, 1t will not be
an unmixed evil, il indeed 1t does not
prove positive blessing, for high prices
mean business and prosperity, and low
prices mean stagnation and hard times.

Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, is talking too much
with his mouth. He seems to feel jealous
of the prominence of Master Workman
Powderly, and volunteers the opinion
quite frequently that the Knights of La
Dor are badly organized and generated
OF course Arthur knows just how to do
it. The criticism of Knights of Labor by
the head of small organization like his,
is about the same as criticism of the
management of an ocean steamer by the
commander of mud scow. Arthur seems
to be anything but workingman's friend,
Judging from the sentiments he is report

An accom-, nodn ,,nu yudrc,

There is In Idaho Territory judge who
is we'll known as Alec Smith" A woman
rought suit in his court for divorce, and
had the discernment to select particular
friend of her own. who stood well with the
Judge, as her attorney. One morning the
Judge called up the case, and addressing
himself to the attorney for the complainant,
said: Mr.. H., don't think people ought
to be compelled to live together where they
don't want to, and will decree divorce
in this case,p Mr.. H. bowed blandly.
Thereupon the Judge, turning to another
attorney, whom he took to be the coun-
sel for the defendant, said "Mr. NJ, ]
suppose you have no objection to the de-
cree n Mr.. M. nodded assent. But the
attorney for the defendant was another Mr..
M, not then in court. Presently he came
in, and finding that his client had been Al
vorced without hearing, began to remon
strate. Alec listened moment, then inter
rupted, saying; "Mr. NJ, it is too late

If any one wants to know why times
are hard, they may find the key to the an
swcr in the following extract which we
quote from a sketch of the Operations"
(swindles, in plain English) of Charles +
Woerishofler, who has been for some time
the leading bear operator in Wall street,
and who died suddenly of apoplexy, on
last Sunday. After relating how Mr.. w.
got up the stock of the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad to 10, and then began
to bear it, covering some stock as low
as 40 cents, running many investors, the
article states:
In 1881, after the shooting of the late
President Garfield, Mr.. Woerishoffer be-
came a great bear, and, with Addison
Camac and Henry N. Smith as colleagues,
he began the extensive bear operations
which, with their combined efforts by the
circulation of nnfavorable rumors affect
ing many banking institutions, practical
ly inaugurated the panic of 1884, which
the situation made possible
Here is a man who does not hesitate
even to circulate false rumors against
banking institutions 80 as to breed dis
trust and ruin, so that he may make large
profits at the expense of the industry and
manufacturing interests of the country;
unsettling values, depressing business, re-
pressing legitimate enterprise, and enrich
ing few ct the expense of the masses.
AS long as these Jay Goulds are allow
ed thus to Operate" the people may
look for hard times, and continued fluctn-
atoms in prices of all commodities. One
or two wealthy spectators can at almost
any time by their shrewd mauipulations
of stocks and grains, bring distress upon
the nation.
The moral of the whole matter is this.
II this country is to be kept free from
the labor troubles and constant panics re-
sulting from unevenness of values, the
law, stern and unrelenting must take
hold of those wealthy rascals who trade on
the miseries of their fellows, and they
must be compelled to take their place in
the state prisons along with more vulgar
but less wicked criminals.

GREENBACKS.

Mr.. Gladstone favors, among other re
forms, the substitution of Government
paper money for private ISSUES. In his
speech on the Irish Government bill he is
thus reported
ireland might think fit to pass a. law
providing for the extinction of private
issues in Ireland, and that no bank notes
should be issued in Ireland, except under
the authority and for the advantage of
the State owe it is my opinion that
Ireland would do an extremely sensible
thing if she passed such law. Hear,
hear.l 1t is my most strong and decided
opinion that we ought to have the same
law ourselves cheersl but the block of
business has prevented that and many
other good things toward the attainment
of which l hope we are now going to open
tho door,"
In this country, too, we shall ultimately
have to take similar course. The
national bank notes will have to be sup
pressed as other bank notes have been
suppressed, and their place supplied by
greenbacks. IN. 7. Sun.
