How to Tell a Horses Age without Con-
sulting an Export.
Tho foal is born with twelve grind
ers. When four front teeth have made
their appearance the colt is II days
old, and when the next four assert
themselves its age will be about 20
days. The corner teeth make their
appearance when the foal is about 8
months old, and these latter teeth at
tain the height of the front teeth at
the age of a year. The 2-year-old has
the kernel-the dark substance in the
middle of the tooth's crown-ground
out of all the front teeth. In the third
year the middle front of teeth are
shifted, and when years old these ara
substituted by the permanent Cor
horse) teeth, which are larger and
more yellow than their predecessors.
The next four tooth are shifted in tho
fourth year, and the corner teeth in
the fifth, giving place to the permanent
nipper.
At years OF age horse has forty
teeth, of which twenty-four are grind
ers, far back in the jaw, with which
we have little to do. But, be it re-
membered, horses invariably have
tusks, which mares very rarely do.
Before the age of 6 is arrived at the
tusk is full grown, and has slight
groove on its internal surface (Which
generally disappears with age, the
tusk itself becoming more rounded and
blunt), and at 6 the kernel or mark is
worn out of the middle front teeth.
There will still be diffe renee of color
in the center of the tooth.
The tusks have now attained their
full growth, being nearly or quite an
inch in length, convex without. con-
cave within, tending to point and the
extremity somewhat curved Now, or
perhaps some months before, the horse
may be said to have perfect mouth.
At seven years the mark, 81 de-
scribed, is very nearly worn ous of the
four center nippers, and fast wearing
away in the corner teeth, especially in
mares; but the black mark still re-
mains in the center of the tooth. and
is not completely filed up until the
animal is eight years old. As he gets
on past seven the bride teeth begin to
wear away.
At eight the kernel has entirely dis
appeared from all the lower nippers.
and begins to decrease in the middle
nippers. 1t is now said to be ''past
mark of mouth" There are indica-
tions, however. after this age which
will enable very shrewd observer to
guess very closely at horses age,
but none that can be relied upon by
observers. As horses become advanced
in years the gums shrink away and
the teeth exhibit a long and narrow
appearance; they lean more forward
and assume an arched shape Dub

WHEN SUFFRAGE COMES.

When suffrage comes, what shall your lord

Is it to spoil the mothers holy charm,
To take the maidens lovely guise away,
To make ward rowdies out of womanhood,
And do the gentler sex a lasting harm,
And none goods
When suffrage comes is II TO cast blight
On home delight and pretty household play,
To lose blessing looking for a right,
When wives disown the tributary place,
Nor the old rule OF custody obey
So losing grace!
What myriad fretful spirits still there are
What chatting still In many a trammelled lot,
What family that knows no petty jar,
No murmur or haf-imprisoned WILL
Which-take resentment playfully, or not
Is restless stilly
What constant evils plod their heavy coursei
What lives are linked, yet foreign in their
spheres
There is divorce ere marriage socks divorce;
Fair sou rebel that may not justly share
In answering justice when the world appears
TO go unfair.
Ifsuffrage comes; II lives have common cause,
And not apart as now their ways pursued
Let times bo changed; let shallow judgment
pause
We yet may own, with pleasure in the
claim,

Ere suffrage camsl
When suffrage comes, who questions in the
court
How come these seekers for q womans
crowns
They come with souls OF truth, with minds of
thought,
They come with righteous zeal to spread
the light;
They come whose duties done In fair renown
Have earned their right
What bubble then can this fair claim denyf
What parchment pretext can its end defeat?
What justice give 1t negative reply?
WHAT accident its onward march befall,
Until its virtuous height shall stand COM
