HOW TO TELL THE AGE
OF A HORSE
BY DR.. A. c. Dauiels, Inc.

side and bottom OF this pit becomes
mark, by the gradual disappear
ance of which the age can be deter
mined with great accurcy up to
about eight years. AT the age OF q
year and a half, the mark in the cen
trail nippers will be shorter and faint
er, and that in the other nippers will
have undergone considerable change,
and all the nippers will be fat. At
two years they will be more plainly
marked, The central prominent
teeth are growing down, and are larg-
err than the others. The groove on
the outer convex surface is the
mark and is long, narrow, deep
and black. The mark on the next
two nippers is more worn out, and is
wearing away on the corner nippers.
Between three and a half and four
years the central nippers have attain
ed to nearly their whole growth. The
second pair will have so far displaced
the temporary teeth as to appear
through the gums, where the corner
ones will be transmitted and at
length worn down. At four years
the central nippers will be fully de
veloped, the top edge somewhat worn
off and the mark shorter, wider and
fainter. The next pair will be up,
but they will be small, with the mark
deep and extended quite across. At
four and half years or near to Ave,
the corner nippers are shed and the
permanent ones begin to appear

Immediately responsible to the peo-
pie and should not have to come up
so frequently for election. The
amendment to the constitution pro-
posed in the Senate Tuesday showed
the feeling of the legal fraternity
and a measure proposed yesterday by
Mr.. Stone of Wallingford seeks the
same end. The constitution at pre-
sent contains nothing regarding the
term of judges or the method by
which they shall be elected or APP
pointed. II the proposed constitu-
tional amendments should be adopted
the term would be increased to 10
years. If the Stone bill should be
passed the term would be made six
years and the term of the present
superior judges would be extended to
1916
AT the afternoon session the House
passed without question half a
dozen bills from the committee on
claims carrying in all a little more
than 5000.
III House Dill 563, which provides
for correcting and legalizing invalid
abstracts If individual lists, grand
lists and quadrennial appraisals,
should become a law it would free
the Legislature from the continual
bother of legalizing grand lists and
quadrennial appraisals. This is
usually done by the Legislature as a
matter of course, and it would seem
as if the better way would be to
provide some safe and proper way
by which the towns can take care of
the matter and save the time of the
Legislature. The House has passed
the bill without trouble and the Sem
ate may look on it with a favorable
eye.

The upper House pursued the even
manner that BELTS it, stopping only

and refused at the morning session
to keep the salary of the commits
sioner of State taxes at its present
| figure of $1,000 in view of the addi-
tional duties imposed on him by the
bill, but in the afternoon it had a
spasm of virtue or a relapse from
virtue, all depends on the point of
view, and made the cat.
