go unnoticed is a worn wolf tooth. IL ~
n supernumerary growth which has no
function. and tue best way to treat ic IS
to pull 1t out.
1t might be stated that a horse has
Iorty teeth in his headpi.ce. A mare
generally has thirty.six. They consist OF
six upper and six lower incisors, or front
teeth, which are the only teeth visible
when a horse opens his mouth, and
twenty.f0ur m0ars ranged in rows OF SIX
IN either side OF the jaw. In addition to
these horse has four canine teeth or
tusks, or, as they are sometimes known,
bridc teetn, one upper and one lower on
each side of the jaw, which protrude
from the gum in the space {, s,i,srating the
incisors and molars. TheI make their
appearance after the horse has reached
his fifth year. They are seldom found in
mare.
The wolf tooth is small tooth which
makes its appearance in front Of the up
per rev of molars. There was belief
a.song the anclents that wolf teeth caused
blindness in horse, and those ancients
knew thing or two. Ii has been deter
mined of late years that the suppositions
and beliefs OF the ancents in this respect
were we'll founded. Wolf teeth do aztec t

come worn down by the bit aud leave the
nerves exposed. The nerves OF the wolf
tooth connect with the facial nerves
which supply the eyes with nerve force.
Consequently when the wolf tooth be.
comes worn down into the nerve, which
does not take long in horse that is in
harness great deal, the nerves OF the
eyes become Immediately affected, and
if the animal does not so blind his eye.
sight at least becomes impaired.
Since this theory has been scientifically
accepted to be correct, veterinary dentists
have been pulling out wolf teeth at =
great rate. AChronicle reporter watched
an interesting operation of this nature at
the veterinary hospital of DR.. L. j..
Greeley, on Golden Gate avenue. The
horse was backed into stall. No oper-
ating chair was necessary. An assistant
grabbed the halter OF the animal with
one hand and took grip on his nose
with the other. The veterinary dentist
then appeared with a pair OF forceps.
| He inserted the instrument into the ami
malls mouth and obtained grip on the
Objectionable tooth. The horse reared
as he did so. The man with the forceps
cliuched his own teeth and cluug on with
determination, and the tooth came out.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 25.-F'our men
were killed in wreck on the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad in this city at 6 o'clock this
afternoon a few blocks from where the
Dock street horror occurred. A freight
train was boarded at Market street by
five men who got into q cow car. Two
squares away the car jumped the track
and half a dozen cars 7~ere tilted on end
and crashed into a west-bouud train of
empty cars. The car in which the men
were sitting was hurled into the middle
of a grinding mass, and four were in
stantly killed and one injured.
1t IS almost impossible to identify three
of the dead, owing to their being crushed
out of recognition. The fourth is known
to be Richard Doyle, of Pittsburg, rail
roader out of work. Two of them were
boilermakers and the fourth a switchman.
They were well dressed, and the man who
was injured says they came from Illinois
or Ohio and had families. Frank Ward,
of Burlington, Ia, was the only man who
escaped. He says that Frederick Grim
nell was one of the men killed. They
were all bound for Philadelphia. Ten cars
loaded with oil and lumber were wrecked
and the contents destroyed, and six empty
cars were smashed.
