HOW TO TELL A HORSES AGE.

Much Experience Required and Many
Things Have to BE Considered.
To distinguish merely between the
young horse and the old, 1t Is only
necessary to remember a few salient
facts. The first is that the milk teeth
are present in the horses mouth until
he is between and years old. The
second fact is that the mark" or
dark central depression on the surface
of the incisors becomes gradually worn
out, and in horse over 8 years old
has nearly always disappeared from
the teeth of the lower jaw. The third
fact is that the shape Of the tooth 10
much wider from side to side than
1t is from front to back. AS the horse
becomes older the surface becomes pro-
gressively narrower, from side to side,
and thus, instead of remaining always
oblong, it becomes triangular, and
then in very old animals flattened from
side to side. In young horses, then,
we judge the age by observing which
of the milk teeth are present, and
which have been replaced by perma-
nent ones. To distinguish between
the milk teeth and the permanent, re-
member that the milk teeth are small
er whittier, and have a distinct neck.
Until colt is over 2 years old his
teeth are all milk teeth, and the age
is estimated from the amount Of wear
shown on the crowns of the teeth. Be-
tween 2 and the first of the perma-
nent teeth make their appearance. and
push out the middle two teeth in both
upper and lower jaws A horse Is
said to be years old when these CEN
trail permanent incisors are fully in
wear. During the next summer the
second pair of permanent teeth appear,
and when they are fully grown and in
wear the horse is years old. Be-
tween 4 and the last pair makes its
appearance, and now the horse has
what is called full mouth. So far
both mares and horses are alike, but
at or near years old the CANNES, or
"tushes," appear in the male sex only.
Up to the end of this period the de-
termination of the age is compare
lively easy matter, and any one who
is at all observant can readily give the
age of horses by looking at their teeth.
After a full mouth is attained it is a
more difficult matter, and the difficulty
of accurately telling the age Of old
horses is greater in proportion to their
age. So much is this the case that it
is popularity supposed that it is i'm
possible to tell the age of horses after
they are years old. This may be
true to a great extent among the I'M
trained and inexperienced, but to an
expert it is not difficult to tell the age
I'D to Is years with fair degree of &C
curacy, and after that age to approx
innate it within a couple of years. To
do this successfully requires much ex-
perience and a careful inspection of all
visible indications of age. To rely
upon one only, such as the mark" Is
to court defeat. All should be OBJ
served-the mark, the shape of tho
teeth, their length and the angle at
which they meet those of the other
jaw.-Pall Mall Gazette.

JACKY ON sHIPBOARD.
Bed Which Is Provided by Paternal
Government.


Government.
Jackys bed is hammock, and it Is
a folding, portable bed Of the most i'm
proved kind, says Scribners People
who swing hammocks on verandas in
the summer know nothing whatever
about Jacky's style of bed. His is
made Of an oblong piece of stout can
vas, fitted with eye-holes in the ends.
In the eye-holes are made fast small
ropes, called "clews," and these are
dashed at their outer ends to ring.
When Jacky's folding bed is open for
use it hangs by these rings from ham,
mock-hooks fitted to the beams under
the decks.
Jacky has a mattress and a blanket
in his bed, and he has to keep them
there. When he turns out" as get
ting up is called, he rolls his hammock
up on it's longest axis and lashes it
with rope provided for that purpose.
There must be seven turns in the lash
ing. with one exactly in the middle.
The clews are tucked in under the lash
ing, Jacky is allowed ten minutes 10
turn out and lash his hammock. Then
he goes up on the spar deck and hands
the hammock to one Of the showers,
who drops lit into the MEETINGS. The
MEETINGS" are simply trcughs in the
ships rail. A tarpaulin is hauled over
the hammocks and laced down to keep
the rain out, and there they stay till
they are served out again at night. In
the meantime, if Jacky desires to sleep,
and in war times he does very often
need a nap, he must perforce seek the
gentle caresses of a steel battlehatch
c. an oily alley-way, where cooks and
marines do break in and coal-passers'
corrupt. But a paternal government
provides the hammock for Jacky and
also allows him the use Of the deck.

DON'T TINKER THE CLOCK.
If You Do You VIII Probably Ruin the
Timepiece.

Watch Iepairers have horror OF
teaching a clock that has been tin
kered by amateurs" explained a watch
repairer, land they would rather get
out of such job if they can do so, for
the loss Of one of the smallest parts
it, and much more work than the gen.
eral customer expects or wants to pay
for. They try to get out of such job
when they can, for in nine cases out
of ten the result is not entirely sat-
isfactory. People who have good
clock, unless they know something
about the way clocks are made and
how they should be taken apart, will
do the wise thing to let it alone when
it gets out Of order. Experimenting
with it often means the ruin of the
clock. 1t is absolutely dangerous to
try to unwind a handspring, as men
have discovered for themselves, un-
less the proper tools are at hand. Now.
a clock repairer has a contrivance
known as a spring controller, which
grasps the spring and holds it while
being taken out or put into the clock.
so that there is no danger. The spring
for an eight-hour clock is often two
yards long, and when suddenly let free
it flies out with nearly the force OF
charge of shot from a gun. Some
time ago a friend of mine thought he
would tinker with his clock. He did
tinker it, and in taking out the main
spring it got away from him. In its
fight 1t took of So lamp from par
lor table and crushed in the glass OF
a $40 mantel mirror. besides doing 9TH
er damage. The 81 clock cost him in
damage exactly SIS. besides cutting his
hand seriously"
