Mule Dentistry.

A Mexican mining company, which
owns 800 mules keeps dentist on its
staff simply to look after the mules
teeth.
One of Mr.. Mule s amiable weaknesses
is the habit Of boiling his food, which
frequently causes dyspepsia or other dis
eases. This boiling of his food is not
caused by desire to hasten his meal,
but because his molars, or back teeth,
having more work to perform than his
front teeth. wear away in the course of
few years and become much shorter
than the front ones. thus allowing the
food to pass into the stomach without
icing properly masticated. In cases Of
this kind the incisors. or front teeth,
have to be filed down an eighth or q
quarter of an inch.
The molars CT the mule are three and
a half inches in length, while the in
cisors measure two and half inches,
and. Judging from his signs of pain,
the nerves are as sensitive as those Of
human beings An expert dentist oper-
ates on "a mules day.
The extracting instruments are from
two to three feet in length, and the en-
tire case of instruments weighs fully 80
pounds. The teeth of every mine mule
are examined and treated, if necessary.
