A Lady who Never Reproves Her Hus-
band for staying Out Late.
A party OF gentlemen were discussing do
nestle subjects. One Of them said: 'tOh,
Of course when n man marries he may nat
urallv expect to surrender many OF his lib
critics. He can not stay out late at night,
nor can he go to so many places OF amuse-
ment as he could previous to marriage. |
don't suppose there ever was a woman 30
sweet tempered that she refrained from
scolding her husband for staying out late
at night"
You are wrong" some one else re-
marked: "No matter how late | stay out.
nv wife does not scold me-"
she may not scold you, but she shows
bv her tone OF voice if not by her words
that she does not like to be left alone"
NO, sir. The other night | stayed out
until twelve O'Clock and when l went home
nv wife didn't say a word"
Didn't she ask you where you had
been?'

"Oh, no, nothing remarkable about her.

Reliable Rules which Can Safely BE APP
piled to All Enquiries.
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 afterwards, eight milk teeth,
that Is. four in each jaw; ut about
twelve months two more milk teeth
come i'm each jaw. These remain un-
changed until he is three years old.
The mouth of the yearling and two
wears old can not be COMPOUNDED. The
yearling mouth shows no sign OF use,
and the corner teeth are shells only; at
two wears old these teeth are strong
and well grown, and the corner teeth
filed up. A little before three years
old the two center teeth of each jaw
fall out, and are replaced by permanent
teeth. A little before four. the two teeth
on each side of the center teeth are re-
placed by permanent ones. A little
before I'VE Tic lNo AVAAaihAhSS eSSeA go "
shed, and in their place come perma-
nent 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 imperfectly developed, being at
present shell only; this shell at six
wears old has filled up. and is COM
nlete tooth, This is the difference
between five and asix-year-old. The
tushes appear between three and a half
wears and four years old, and they take
nearly two years to arrive at their full
growth. These teeth, as the horse
grows older, get blunter and shorter,
and so to an experienced judge are a
sure indication of age. Up to six years
old the mouth is in distinct and
periodical state of structural change.
There is no difficulty in 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
age the cups leave two center teeth
above, at seven the next two above.
and at eight the outer or corner teeth
above. At nine the two center teeth
below lose the cups, at ten the next
two below, and at eleven the outer or
corner teeth below. After little
practice the close observer can scarcely
make a mistake. The changes that
occur are the same in all horses, OF
nearly so.-Sp0rtsmdn.

Put Him On the List.

A imam writer" in the household depart
ment OF family paper thanks wise and
kind Providence that when he was boy
his mother taught him to cook, wash
dishes and tidy up the kitchen, although
he had three sisters older than himself"
Well that kind OF a man with that sort of
mother and that sort of sisters may be
very thankful for that kind of training,
INF we'll bet a thousand dollars his wife
doesn't attend the praise service. Do you
know my son, how Lucifer, mightiest OF the
angels fell? He was on earth one day, and
saw man nosing around in the kitchen,
among the pots and pans and kettles,
messinr up a dinner for his helpless, awe
stricken family. He watched until he saw
the man wiring out the dish-rag, and then
he swore right out; he couldn't help it. OF
course. he couldn't be allowed IN Heaven
after that, we all know that; but then, son,
consider the provocation.-Burdette, in

Natural Gas Not Wanted.

Some prospectors in West Virginia found
signs OF natural gas on a farm belonging
to an old man, and they went to his house
and asked permission to bore and make
further development.
Whats the gas good for?" he asked.
ITO take the place OF fuel"
.WIll it take the place OF woodf"
"Oh, yes"
Then YOU can't bore darn bore around
here. I've got five strapping big sons who
are too internal lazy to do any thing
more'n cut huff wood to warm their shins,
and if we had natural gas to burn I'd have
to hire q niger to help the boys draw thsis
