SELFISHNESS. We Nearly Alwayw Diaoevev It fin Others, hot Never la Ourselves. 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 kind, to ua we forget to be generous ourselves, to look beyond the frown, the hard word, the selfish set er negioci, and me what U is to see Whpt strain qurfrieod is bearing and share it in so (ar as pafiepce, gener ous forbearance, will lighten it.

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 Globe. ' • pt 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. ” —Nugget* ■ . t “I’ve ppened about oyster* in day, ” said the old oyeter man who sella you the real genuine un fattened and unspoiled,*‘salts, ’’ a penny apiece, in the shadow of one of the big market buildings, '‘and I have never found a pearl in one yet "But I've found something Just as good as pearls," be added with a wink.

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.

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. ” —New YoskSu*. ■ ? w*j|e ’ Soot Uthe, equivalent of the Angl o word “aceat, ’’ meaning taxatie* therefore “soot free” originally meant “free from th* payment of taxes,” and now it bus become a general expression for freedom from anything.
