The full-grown horse possesses twenty
four back teeth, that is, six in each side
of each jaw. These are called molars or
grinders. Hc 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 teeth,
that is, four in each jaw; at about twelve
months, two more milk teeth come IN
each jaw. These remain unchanged ill
he is three years old. The mouth Of the
yearling and two-year-old cannot be con-
founded. The yearling mouth shows no
signs of use, and the corner teeth are
shells only; at two years old these teeth
are strong and we'll grown and the corner
teeth filled up. A little before three
years old, the two centre teeth Of each
jaw fall out and are replaced by per
manent teeth A little before four, the
two teeth on each side OF the centre
teeth are replaced by permanent ones.
A little before five, the two remaining
| teeth are shed, and in their place come
permanent ones. The upper milk teeth
usually fall out first.
| Thus the mouth is completed as TO its
| front teeth. The corner tooth, however.
is but inperfectly developed, being at
present shell only. This shell at six
years old has filed up and is q complete
tooth. This is the difference between a
I five and six-year old The tushes appear
between three and a half years 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 experi-
enced Judge are sure indication Of age.
Up to six years old the mouth is in a
/ distinct and periodical state Of strlc-
tural 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 appear
ance Of the teeth. At six years Of age
the cups leave two centre teeth above,
at seven the next two above, at eight the
outer or corner teeth above.
i AIT nine the two centre teeth below lose
the cups, at ten the next two below, and
Fat 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 al
horses, or nearly SO. The Sportsman.

At the other extremity Of the room, fac

stood Cora Elliston. Her back was turned
to him.
She was dressed, or rather draped, in q
sort Of dressing-gown Of white cashmere,
without sleeves, which left her arms and

unbound and floating, and fell in heavy

rested lightly on the toilet table. the
other held together over her bust the
folds of her dressing gown.
She was gazing at herself in the glass
and weeping bitterly.

At some places the force of the sea

The water is colde at the bottom

there would be a layer of salt $50

Union OF CHURCH AND STATE

Frank Hope, of London, in a let
ter in the American Sentinel, pub
lished in New York City, shows
many of the bad results Of union of
church and State. Among other
things he says;
"About century ago our criminal
code was most wicked and cruel.
Men and boys were hanged for such
petty larcenies as are now punished
by few days Imprisonment. Dur
ing the reigns of the Georges there
were added 156 new crimes to which
the death penalty was attached. In
1910 a bill was introduced into the
House of Lords to the effect that per-
sons should not be killed 'for the
crime of stealing property to the
amount of FIVE shillings" (sl.25).
This bill was rejected, and an arch
bishop and six bishops voted it down
Then we find the Church against the
abolition of the slave trade. 1t was
opposed to the education of the poor
when that question was first agitated
1t was against Parliamentary Reform
against Catholic Emancipation; anf
when the British and Foreign Bible
Society was formed, it was agaIns'
that. In fact, it is hard to find any
salutary reform which it did not op
pose by its representatives in th'
House of Lords.

century, we find it was these bishops
and clergy who, in the words Of a
leading statesman. "hounded on
George Ill and Lord North iD their
stupid and unrigi,teous resistance "a
the claim Of our American coIonists
to honest representation and fair tax
alton" The bishops earnestly sup
ported every measure for carrying on
the American war. When Europe
was horrified at the wanton greed oi
gain and at the hypocrisy shown by
Christian England in forcing opium
on China at the cannon's mouth, no
word OF remonstrance-not grunt
OF disapproval--came from this bench
OF bishops. And in all our dreadful
foreign policy, in all the incessant
and unnecessary wars that England
has waged in all parts Of the world,
this great influence of the Church has
not been used to check or condemn
a policy SO fearful. The bishops
hove too often famed the fierce de-
sire for bloodshed instead of pointing
to more excellent way. Thus we
see that by actual test the Church
has falled-most miserably failed to
make the State more righteous by
being united to it. When it has used
its influence, it has invariably done
so on the side of wrong. When the
State has endeavored to reform, the
Church has opposed it; but when the
State has done wrong then the Church
has either remained dumb or else
most valiantly cheered it on. And
wherein lies the fault, not that the
bishops were sinners above all other
men, but the fault lies in the principle
which declares that the Church can
make the State more righteous by
being united to it when as matter
OF fact the Church, by such a union,
becomes the bond-slave of the State.
''History repeats itself" The NOR
al of this is; let the clergy of any
country insinuate themselves into
Government Affairs and their influence
will prove a curse to that Govern
ment. Allow certain religionists to
shape the Government and Constitu-
ton of America to their liking, a
condition of things will then be pro-
duced similar to the palmy days of
the Papacy.

last Sunday morning, after long illness,
Frank Headen, aged 6S years.
Deceased was born on Andrew
Jackson's famous battle ground at
New Orleans. He was for sometime
clerk in the postofice in New Or
leans, and was in the Commissary de-
partment of the American Army in
the war with Mexico. In 1863 he
was engaged in packing from Dalles,
Oregon, to this place. After this he
engaged in placer mining, which oc-
cupation he followed up to the time
of his death. He has been one of the
most entsrprising miners in the coun-
ty, and has made a great deal of
money, and of late years has invest
ed heavily in big undertaking which
has not been carried to completion,
and although expert placer miners
said it would not prove practicable,
when started, it is very probable that
if he had lived he would have proven
that his judgment was good, and ac-

to open ground that had been COW

bed of More creek. He has put many
thousands of dollars in this enterprise,
and had intended to continue opera
tons this season. Mr.. Headen was
man of rugged honesty, and his
word was all the security any one ev-
er wanted in business transaction,
and he always kept his word in any
matters with striotness that is rarely
met with. Headen was a man of q
