From the Lancet.

AOiil Tic AdIlCet.
The June number of Man contains
an article on two Japanese boku-to,
or emblems of the medical profession.
These objects were wooden swords
worn by medical practitioners in ia
pan before the revolution of the last
century which displaced so many of
the old customs OF the country. A man
of rank was formerly entitled in ia
pan, as elsewhere, to wear a sword;
indeed, in Japan he was entitled to
wear two swords. The retainers of a
Daimio or feudal lord also wore
swords. The medical mems swords
were generally of a somewhat fanc-
full description and were made in many
forms, some contained lancets, others
contained knives for cutting herbs,
but the MA ority We're quite plain.
One of the objects now described and
figured is in the shape of a large bean
pod Its bean-like curvature approx
mates to that of a Jananese sword. 1t
is 1732 inches in length and of a nearly
uniform circumference of Az inches or
thereabouts. 1t is made of some fairly
hard wood which takes a polish, and it
is carved to indicate seven seeds in
side. Wrapped around it is a silken
cord, by which it was attached to the
girdle. Together with this corn it
weighs six and three-quarter ounces
avoirdupois. On the side there are rep
resented in lacquer a grasshopper and
another large insect. On the other side
are similarly represented a wasp,
small fly somewhat like the common
house fly, and apparently a small bee
tie.
The other boku-to is more interesting
1t is rough piece of willow, is inches
long and broader at the bottom than
the top. japanese characters meaning
Spider-boat have been deeply cur up
on it. At a distance of ga inches from
the top it is pierced with a hole an
inch and a half long, which has been
utilized to attach a fiat cord or tape
and toggle for convenience of holding
it in the girdle. The cord is of pale
red color. now little faded The baku-
to, cord and toggle weigh together I'M
der four and a half ounces avoirdupois
The two specimens now described We're
bought at Atami in Japan a few months
ago.

THE AGE OF A HORSE.
An Old GrOom's PoeticaI Advice as
to How Not to BE Fooled ON 1t.

An Old GrOom's PoeticaI Advice as
to How Not to BE Fooled ON 1t.
1.-The groom that came to Chester, N.
Y, with Old Abdallah, the sire of
Hambletonian, IS years ago, said a vet
eran Orange county horseman TO
New York Sun correspondent, told me
how to tell the age of horse, and it
has run in my head ever since. This is
the way it ran," and he repeated the
following rhyme:
To tell the age of any horse,
Inspect the lower jaw, of course,
The six front teeth the tale will tell,
And every doubt and fear dispel.
The middle "nippers" you behold
Before the colt is two weeks old;
Before eight weeks two more will come
Eight months, the corners cut the
gum.
The outside grooves will disappear
From middle two in just one year;
In two years from the second pair;
In three the Corners too, are bare.
At two. the middle ''nippers'' drop;
At three, the second pair can't stop;
When four years old, the third pair
goes;
AT five, a full new set he shows.
The deep black spots will pass from
view.
At six years from the middle two;
The second pair at seven years.
At eight, the spot each Corner clears.
From middle ''nippers" upper jaw,
At nine the black spots will withdraw,
The second pair at ten are white;
Eleven finds the corners light.
AS time goes on the horsemen know
The oval teeth three-sided grow;
They longer get, project before
Till twenty, when we know no more.

tering the camp. Then comes a broad
street with the commissary and quar-
termasters headquarters, and then the
First Regiment under command of
Col. Gordon.
Across the main street, which runs
through the entire camp at right an
giles to the company streets, are the
regimental and brigade headquarters,
and back of these the parade ground,
large. enough for any character of drill
or maneuver.
Kenan Getting 1t Ready.
Quartermaster Kenan has been at
camp all day, receiving equipage and
getting everything in readiness.
The entire camp is bare of trees or
foliage of any kind, but there is usual

All of the officers commend the site,
and the outlook is for an attractive
and successful camp.
