A HORSES AGE.
Information That May be Useful to
Some People.

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 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 o-year-o 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 well 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 imperfectly developed, being at
present shell only. This shell at six
years old has filed up and is complete
tooth. This is the difference between a
five and six-year old The tushes appear
between three and 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 expert
enced judge are a sure indication of age.
Up to six years old the mouth is in a
distinct and periodical state of struc-
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 |
lnce 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
At nine the two centre teeth below lose
he cups, at ten the next two below, and
It eleven the outer or corner teeth below.

Central Park reservoir, which has a ca

the pipes curves into One Hundred and
Twenty fifth street and its flow will enter
directly into the circulation of that
quarter of the city. Another is to be
similarly utilized at Manhattan avenue.
Another will run from One Hundred and
Tenth streeth to the old reservoir in the
park, and still another is to be connected
with the old pumping station in Ninety
eighth street. From the gatehouse to the
reservoir the pipes have maximum fall
of about 10 feet, and from the reservoir
to the city the fall is upward of 100 feet.

it stands may be put down in round
at $25, 900, 600. This is exclu-
sive of land purchases, which are not

Talmage Held the Train

Rev. DR.. I. Dewitt Talmage is as much

over trifles, often writes his sermons and
lectures while travelling on steamboats, or

always have the good fortune to catch a
train that he had at Toledo year or two
ago. At that time DIR. Talmaee found,
just before reaching Toledo on the Wa
bash, that the only train over the To-
ledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan
Railroad would leave half an hour before
his arrival. He was booked for lecture
at Ann Arbor that night. and the outgo-
ing train was his last chance. Talmage
telegraphed Gen. ]. NJ. Ashley, President
of the Toledo, Ann Arbor and North
Michigan Road, asking that the train be
held half an hour and signing the tele-
gram "Talmage." The train was waiting
when the reverend doctor arrived at the
depot, and he reached Ann Arbor in time
for the lecture. Unless he sees this he
will not know-for the angry Ann Arbor
officials were too indignant to tell him
that the name "Talmage" that held the
waiting train at the depot for half an
hour was not the lecturer and preacher,

A MAsTERPIEcE.
The Wonderful Nest of the Balti-
more oriole.

. The skilful nests of the vireos have yet
their matchless pattern in the work of
that prince of weavers, the chang bird, y
or Baltimore oriole, whose swinging,
pendulous nest is masterpiece, not only
of textile art, but equally of textile skill,
whether from an engineering or archi-
tectural point Of view. What sagacious
perception of means and intelligent dis
elimination in their employment are here
disclosed The trite maxim, that ''the
strength of chain is only that of It's
weakest link, would seem, on a superb
cial glance at the nest, to be entirely ig-
nored by the oriole, the attachment of
the nest often seeming to exhibita daring
dearth of material and in singular con-
trast to the elaborate density Of the weav-
ing below. A closer examination, how
ever, shows most sagacious compensa-
ton in the economy of this apparently
weak portion, for here it will be found
In almost every instance the toughest fibre
in the entire nest has been concentrated,

NATIONAL BANKS.

The report of the comptroller of the
secretary Of the treasury, contains full
information in reference to the affairs of
national banks, and covers the opera
tons of the bureau for the twelve months
ended October 81, 1890. During this pc
Rod 807 new associations have been or
ganized, fifty have gone into voluntary
liquidation, and nine have been placed in
the hands of receivers. The net increase
is 24S, constituting larger growth than
during any similar period since 1865.
| The number of active banks on October
81, 1890, was 1867, which is an increase
over any previous date.
These banks have in capital stock
1859, 7S2, 500; bonds deposited to secure
circulation, $40, 100, 900; and bank notes
outstanding, S179, 755, 643, including S54,-
796, 907, represented by lawful money
deposited to redeem circulation still out
standing. The gross decrease in circula-
ton during the year, including notes of
gold banks. and those of failed and liqui-
dating associations, was 500, 267 ,772, and
the decrease in circulation secured by
United States bonds was $5,24S, $40.
On October ,, 1890, the date of the last
report of condition, $3.50 banks were
opened for business. These associations
report an aggregate capital of $3.50, AL
235; surplus, S213, $50, S95; and undivided
profits, S97 ,006, $50. Gross deposits, in
Guiding amounts due banks, are stated
at 81, 023, 500 ,067; loans and discounts.
81, 970. 022 ,6S7; an increase in each of
these items over any previous date
They held $195. 90S, $50 in specie: $780,
GOA, 731 in legal tender notes; SIS, 1872, 1872
in national bank notes, and IS, 155. 600
in United States certificates of deposit.
Accessions to the system have been
most numerous in the states west of the
Mississippi river, Texas being most
promin N, with sixty-three new asso-
Citations.
The controller concludes his report
with the statement that aside from the
right to issue circulating notes the ma
tional banking system seems 10 be more
favorably regarded than heretofore, and
is rapidly extending its sphere of opera
tions. The transactions of the year have
been attended 10y more than average
degree of success" The exception men,
toned, that is the right to issue circulat-
ing notes. is one of the most serious OBJ
Jections that is urged TO the system,
many persons insisting that such prerog-
alive belongs exclusively to the govern
ment and cannot of right be delegated to
the individual or corporation. There
are other features of the system, how
ever. that to many are nolsss objectiona-
BILE than this.

FOOD SWINDLERS.

Congress has another duty pressing
upon them about which the people say
! little, tut which was one among the
other things impelling the farmers Of
the country into class-politico organi
ton. There is nothing more important
to the well being of people than pure
food, and the fact that powerful but I'M
scrupulous corporations are annually pill
ing up millions by the authorizations OF
| food is notorious. 1t is thing that
would not be permitted in any other civ
ilized country. The American people
have good naturally laughed over the
wav manufacturers have swindled them
with "shoddy," but when it comes
to the question of food for
themselves and children, of food which
is to sustain brain and body, it becomes
very different matter. Many prefer
the cheap and shoddy in vehicles, in
furnishings, in clothing and in many
things, but when it comes to food they
will stand neither adulteration or decep-
ton. One of the most notorious and
defiant mixing. compounding and cheat
ing swindles, tlourishing in America, Is
the selling of cotton seed oil for pure
hogs lard. 1t cheats the farmer and
cheats the consumer. 1t is also an
unmitigated fraud and swindle
against honest packers. And yet
congress refuses and neglects TO
do its duty by sixty-fve millions
Of people. in a matter in which they are
practically unanimous in their demand.
1t passes all under landing that the law
