SELFISHNESS.
We Nearly Alwayw Diaoevev It fin

Probably the most fattlpus of all the
faults is that upon the absence of which
we most pride ourselves, and that at the
same time we notice most readily in
others In some of us it is pride, in
others gossiping. The list is long, and
we know it without going into details
but that which we do not seem to real
ize h that the very most common fault
of ns all as * mass is selfishness.
We do know that nearly every one
we meet is selfish, but we seldom dis
cover hew selfish we are ourselves un
less shown by a sudden touch of deep
regret. Most <rf us discover, for in
stance, that we were selfish in refer
ence to some dear friend dead, but we
stop right there, and while we regret
thq mrtnod shed faMlsssfaue ever the
lost chance we do not make any pew
discoveries—namely, that we are selfish
to oar living friends—and while we
think that they are being (fofair, un

the hard word, the selfish set er negioci,

Lack of Maotteation Causes Dyspe*>
s(a Teeth Troubles.
Mastication fa rapidly becoming a lost
art, and, although Jwmne
hardened to the fact that three-fourths
of the dyspepsia is due to this cause, it
might surprise sometofaiow ifaat
the early decay of the. fagta and diseases
of the gums are occasioned by this suae
lack of maxiDary exercise.
A disease of the gums, called Rigg’s
disease, which fa every (fay beoomfag
more common, is caused almost entirely
by the want of proper ' mastication.
Twenty-five years ago this trouble was
not considered of apy importance by
the dentist on account of its rare occur
rence.
Today it is given more care than the
decay of the teeth, as he fa frequently
consulted by patients ■mo haye qfwl
set of natural teeth w>i£ub quite loos*
in the jaw. Aside frofa tpis they are
sound and healthy, aha after a certain
development in the disease nothing can
be done to help them.
By lack of exercise the blood which
should nourish both the bones and the
gums is not carried to the part, nor does
the blood carry sufficient material to the
teeth; hence the enamel formed fa de
fective, and early decay resulfa, Fre
quently, too, the mechanical develop
ment of the jaw fa arrested by this same
want of motion.
Most of the food among the better
class of people today is cooked so as to
require very little mastication, and the
consequence is that the muscles have
become flabby, the jaws slender and the
processes for the attachment of the
muscles almost, obliterated.—Boston

Obedieaev of Orders.
A naval commander ig the reign of
Queen Anne was ordered to cruise with
a squadron within certain limits on the
coast of Spain. Having received infor
mation that a Spanish fleet was in Vigo
beyond hjs limit* he resolved ,to risk
his personal responsibility for tfie good
of his country. He accordingly attacked
and defeated the flqet fafahw>*
common gallantry. When he joined the
admiral under whom he served, was
ordered under arrest, and was asked,
if he did not know that by the arti
cles of war he was liable to be shot for
disobedience of order*.
He replied with great composure
that he was very senribfo tljta be.was,
but added, “The man whafaafapld to
risk his life in any w*y when the good
of his country requires it fa unworthy
of a command in hermajesty’s service. ”

For many years steam jets have bee*
considered excellent means for extin
guishing fires in inclosed spaces, and
examples of their good eervioes have
been abundant. The theory of their no
tion of course fa like that of the several
kinds of fire extinguishing powders
which have been proposed at different
times,.that the steam in the one case
and the stifling fumes from the powtam
in the other displace the ate in finy par
ticular, space under consideration, and
with it the oxygen as well, by wMete
alone combustion can be sustained.*
In at least one instance, however, the
position was taken that if the steam
jets did not extinguish a fire promptly
they soon became a source of danger,
and as such wen held accountable for
the loss about a year ago of a cargo
faeamer carrying several hundred tons
of coal and as many more of miscel
laneous chemicals nod old rope. File
broke out in one of the hold* which
were fitted with steam jet fixtures, and
the jets were at once turned on. On
the day following it was proposed to
try a hose in addition to the jeta, and
one of the upper deck hatches was
therefore taken off.
The almost immediate result was a
violent explosion, killing one of the
officers and seriously injuring another.
AH the other hatches were blown off at
the, same time, and the ship began to
leak, so that she soon had to be aban
doned. One explanation advanced was
that the steam from the jets, ptusing
over the incandescent cargo, formed
water gas, which, with suitable air ad
mixture, became explosive, with the
result noted. The theory is not a com
forting one, but whether it portrays a
possi bio condition of things yet remains
to be demonstrated.—Cassier’s Maga
zine.
EASY FOR MORPHY.
A Story of the Great Cheoa Master
and a Celebrated Painting.
On reading the notes on Paul Mor
phy’s visit to Philadelphia I am re
minded of an incident in connection
with his visit to Richmond about the
same time, which was related to me
some yean ago by the Rev. W- H. of
that city. Ido not remember aver to
have seen it in print Mr. Morphy was
Mr. H. ’s gusst while in the city, and
on his arrival was first ushered into the
library, and his attention was at once
attracted by a painting over the man
tel which was a finecopy of * cele
brated painting representing • game of
chess between a young man and the
devil, the stake being the young man’-*
soul.
The artist had most graphically de
picted the point in the game where it
was apparently the young man’s move,
and be seemed just to realise the fact
'that he had lost the game, the agony of
despair being shown in every line of his
features and attitude, while the devil
from the opposite sifi* cf the table gtoat
ed over him with
position of the game appeared utterly
hopeless for the young man, and Mr.
H. said he had often set it up and
studied it with his chess friends, and
all agreed the young man’s game was
certainly lost. .
Mr. Morphy walked up to the picture
and studied it for several minutes, when
finally, turning to Mr. H., he said:
"I can win the game for the young
man.”
Mr. H. was of course astonished and
mid, “Is it possible?”
Mr. Morphy replied, “Get out the
men and board and let us look at it”
The position was set up, and in a few
rapid moves he demonstrated a complete
win for the young man, and the devil
was checkmated.—Robert Munford in
American Chess Magazine.
Hungarian Gypsy Minatrela.
The gypsy minstrels form a caste by
themselves. Their appearance is always
more swarthy than that of other Hun
garian musicians, their dress is some
times purposely fantastic, and their
manner of life is far more Bohemian
than the most liberal minded artist
would care to own to. Every hotel and
restaurant in Budapest possesses its gyp
sy band, and the method of payment is
as free and easy as the music itself and
the|r life. The hotel keeper is not
bound by any contract, but at various
intervals throughout the performance
one of his gypsies takes a dinner plate
and goes round among the various guests
in the hall from table to table, receiving
in the plate what the latter, like to put
there. Tne favorite coin deposited there

A LAWYER’S CLEVER TRICK THAT
SAVED HIB CLIENT
Ths Hssosl m «rtal Was ChalMy rafa
PrSvsa to BsyeoS a ttoaM, bat the
Sknwt U»r»r a War *•
Wia His Cue.
When Colorado war organised as a
•errilory, there was little English used
Oftoide of Denver and the mining
etfaps. Tba rest of the thinly scattered
country was as Spanish as any part of
our latest America. Not Castilians, of
course—more likely n general mixture
of Aztec and Apache and a lot of other
strains of blood, but certainly Spanish
in name and in speech. “The govern
ment recognised that it had a difficult
task before it in bringing these ‘greas
ers* to understand the very beginning of
the obligations and the duties of their
American oitiseiubip. One of the moot
trusted agents in thia campaign of edu
cation was Judge Halktt, who was put
in charge of the judicial system of the
new territory. From that time to thio
he has been at the head of the federal
judiciary in the great and prosperous
State of Colorado. Despite this fierceness
of rejrakeaad countless oddities ot tem
per no judge has ever been so respected
as be along the great divide.
When he first went on circuit, the bar
left Denter with him and traveled in a
body both for sociability and for safety.
Then there was no railroad, the only
means of reaching any plaoe from any
other being along a slightly marked
trail barely passable for horses. By slow
stages the bench and the bar reached
Trinidad under the cold shadows of the
Sangre de Cristo range. These Spanish
names were an incessant annoyance to
Judge Hallett, who declaimed against
each one in turn and announced his
purpose of memorializing the secretary
of the interior to have them all made
American. Os a piece with this was his
attitude toward the prevailing Spanish
speech of the country. He objected to
it Among the first rules of his court
was that which provided that all its
transactions should be in English, and
that if litigants objected to the work of
the sworn interpreter that was their
own lookout. It might encourage them
to learn to talk “American, ” as they
ought.
In Trinidad Colonel Taylor of the
bar was retained for the defense in a
case where no defense was possible.
The place was full of witnesses who
had seen the deed done, whatever it
may have been, for that is unimportant.
The prosecuting attorney pat on wit
ness after witaem to prove .the facta.
He made a perfect case, and he demand
ed that full punishment be Inflicted. It
was a difficult situation for Colonel
Taylor. His client was guilty beyond a
doubt Cross examination of the wit
nesses could only make that fact more
distinct and for that reason he did
nothing so foolish. > The case was alto
gether Spanish. Criminal, witnesses,
audience—there were not six words of
English in the whole outfit The inter
preter had been called on for every word
which had gone back and forth through
out the trial. Colonel Taylor arose to
make his plea. He surveyed the cluster
of dark faces which filled the shed in
which the court was sitting.
“Caballeros,” he began—“ca ba Heron
del Jurado” —
There was a loud whacking of the
gavel by Judge Hallett as soon as he
caught the sound of the language which
he despised so heartily.
“Mr. Taylor, Mr. Taylor, ” he shout
ed, "as a member of the bar of this
court you must be aware that all its
transactions must be conducted in the
English language, the language of this
country. If I thought that you were
using Spanish maliciously, I should
punish you soundly for such contempt
of this court You will address thia
court of the United States in United
States and in no other speech, language
or dialect.”
“I bow to your honor’s ruling.” con
tinued Colonel Taylor and resumed his
plea, but in English and with the as
sistance of the interpreter. He told the
greaser jury how the sight of their
proud Castilian lineaments had caused
him to forget a rule of the court and to
address them in the sonorous speech of
Spain, from which their proud fore
father* came. He obeyed the judge, but
he felt the restraint of having to make
his pleeding through the assistance of
the interpreter. It was a simple matter
which he eould set right in a few sen
tence* of their own language, but he
feared that in English he could not do
to well; yet he hoped that they would
not see a fellow ojtiaoa yentthßd solely
'flor the reason that his advocate was not
allowed to address a Spanish jury in
their own tongue. Harping on this
theme, he avoided any discussion of the
evidence which bore so heavily on his
client, and in his peroration he paid a
glowing tribute to the language of Don
Quixote sod Queen Isabella. This done,
he fled from the spot and was not seen
until court had arisen for the day.
When they next met, the prosecuting
attorney wanted to know why he had
not been On hand to receive congratula
tions on the acquittal of his client
IT "They set him free without a stain
on hb character and without their seat
and it was all due to your Spanish.
Why didn’t you wait? You’re the hero
of the whole population. ”
“That’s just the trouble,” rejoined
Cokmel Taylor. “I knew they'd acquit
that rascal and then they’d foU all owr
had to hide, Those three words that
Judge Haitett choked n» off on, that’s
all the SflMtilh I <ever JtaMb i» as W
I couldn’t afford to be congratulated. ”
