Up to the fifth year, the age of the horse or ox can be easily determined by the eruption and replacement of the incisors. At one year of age the colt has a fully developed set of temporary incisors. The ruminant's incisors at this age all show wear. The two-year-old colt shows a well-worn set of incisor teeth, and the ruminant at this age has replaced the nippers or centrals.
The central nippers will have nearly attained their full growth, and a vacuity will be left where the second stood; or, they will begin to peep above the gum, and the corner ones will be diminished in breadth and worn down, the mark becoming small and faint. At this period also the second pair of grinders will be shed.
"We're doing well enough," began Dabney, when suddenly there came a shrill cry of pain from the black boy's punt. "He's barefooted," shouted Dab, with, it must be confessed, something like a grin; "and one of the little pirates has pinned him with his nippers." That was the difficulty exactly, and there need not have been any very serious result of such an expression of a crab's bad temper.
Half-past twelve o'clock came; Turkey began to glow in the face, overturn his inkstand, and become generally obstreperous; Nippers abated down into quietude and courtesy; Ginger Nut munched his noon apple; and Bartleby remained standing at his window in one of his profoundest dead-wall reveries. Will it be credited? Ought I to acknowledge it?
These intervals, these measured bites and the insect's watchful attitude have every appearance of telling us that the operator is noting the effect produced before giving a fresh pinch of the nippers.
Crimping nippers the inevitable accompaniment of a miner came forth from the pockets of the men. Careful tamping, then the men took their places at the fuses. "Give the word!" one of them announced crisply as he turned to Fairchild. "Each of us 'll light one of these things, and then I say we 'll run! Because this is going to be some explosion!"
One moment of the most unutterable suspense, and then and then the fearful thing drew back, turned round, and shoggled away in the direction whence it had come. It was worsted. Save for a few scratches, Laurence was unhurt. He had almost miraculously escaped the creature's nippers.
We can't chain the lions without swivels. They'd choke themselves in two minutes." Once more, for the hundredth time, Emett came to our rescue with his inventive and mechanical skill. He took the largest pair of hobbles we had, and with an axe, a knife and Jones' wire nippers, fashioned two collars with swivels that for strength and serviceableness improved somewhat on those we had bought.
At Easter, Jack and Valentine got their remove into the Fifth, and there became acquainted with a young gentleman who rejoiced in the name of Tinkleby. Tinkleby was a comical-looking fellow of medium height; he wore nippers, and had a perpetual smirk on his lips. "Hallo, you two Fenleighs!" he said, coming up to them on the second morning of the term; "I suppose you'll join our society."
There he was greeted by a deadly fire from our machine guns. The first Russian lines were mowed down as if by a gigantic scythe, and so were the reserves as they tried to advance. The first attack had collapsed. After a short time, however, they came on again, this time more cautiously, armed with nippers to cut the barbed wire and using the bodies of their own fallen comrades as a rampart.
