BRIGHT NoIHlNes.

Life is cheaply held in Colorado. A man
who went in swimming at Denver and
nearly drowned, rewarded the man who
saved his life by gift of ten cents, and was
going home, when his rescuer called him
back and gave him FIVE cents change.
In the last article penned by DR.. Holland
he said he believed il to be demonstrably
true that, of all the advantages which
comes to any young man, that of poverty
is the greatest. But no young man has
ever yet been satisfied with the demonstra-
ton.

A New Dental Disease.

a child, aged ten, whose teeth six
months ago appeared to be all perfectly
sound, came to me with toothache In
the right lower canine. Ifonnd that a
large portion of the enamel had disap-
peared from the front surface of the
tooth, as if it had been Clipped violently
Off, the dentine was all exposed. but
there was no softening or appearance
-of decay. The disease, which has com
rilenced in several of the other incisor
teeth, appears first as a small white spot
In about the thickest part of the front
surface of the enamel, which it seems To
penetrate; and then, suddenly disintre-
grating. this comes away, and exposes
the remaining sensitive enamel and the
dentine. This disease is altogether
a different thing from the gradual de-
cay, or wear at the neck of the teeth
frequently met with in adults, for in
this case the patient is only ten, and, as
far as | have been able to ascertain, the
lncisors and CANNES never have been
known to decay in the manner above
described. We are often at our wits'
end to cope with the increasing preya-
lence of carries in the teeth of the yery
young; and if this be { as fear it is a
new form of destructive energy, the

Why Not?

To judge by the actions of some per-
sons, you would say that the idea of be-
ing social had never entered their heads.
They come and go in almost. absolute
silence. If you meet them in their busi-
| ness, their answers and statements are
very brief; and, then they relapse into
| silence. If you meet them in the street.
car, or on the railway, they are busy
with their own thoughts, or reading, or
asleep. They have no interest in life or
| nature about them, You sit down with
them to the table and they have no word
OF cheer to enliven the time. They either
have not the knack, or lack the desire to
engage in conversation. s;.g 4ts
Half a century ago there were many
brilliant conversationalists. And truly,
it was a noble power. To pour forth, out
of the.rieh stores of a full mind, flashes
OF wit, and treasures of knowledge
Who has not felt the kindling and sharp
ening of mind as wit and wisdom flash
from soul to soul? One has but to listen
to the words of after-dinner speakers at
some brilliant gathering, to realize the
power of uttered thought to kindle
thought. s.-a s.
Enter now some pleasant family circle
where all are full of life and thought,
and see how delightful the hour of meal
time can be made. Then go back 10 a
dry, wordless meal and see the contrast.
The food may have been equally good,
but, oh, the difference; one is all life, and
joy, and sparkle, and the other is like a
November day, with its duh, heavy,
leaden sky. s,ta.s5 @r
One ought to bring the results of his
thinking, and give the benefit of tito all
his friends. Not hechaff; there is always
plenty of that fyinga bout. What one
ought to do, is to have something worth
saying, and then, when in fit places say
it, and thus let others gain by his labor.
Father, mother, brother, sister; each one
should bring something. What change
this would make. How many hurried
and often unpleasant meals would be-
come delightful gatherings to which all
would rejoice to come, and each one
wish he might linger longer at.
OF what avail are gathered stores Of
knowledge If we do not use them? They
are better for constant use and they rust,
as does machinery, when not used.
Think how much can be done in this way

and timid. sfs -

There was no time to be lost, as / was
not more than twenty yards from him;
so, refining in with a jerk and turning
the horse at the same instant broadside
on | raised my gun, intending to put a
ball, if possible, just between his neck
and shoulder, which, could have. done
SO, would either have knocked him down
or at any rate made him swerve; but my
horse, instead of standing steady las he had
always done before, now commenced
walking forward, though he did not ap-
pear to take any notice of the buffalo.
There was no time to put my hand down
and give another wrench to the bride
(which had let fall on the horses neck,
and for the life of me / could not get q
sight with the horse in motion.
A charging buffalo does not take many
seconds to cover forty yards, and in an
other instant his outstretched nose was
within six feet of me, so, lowering the
gun from my shoulder, pulled it off in
his face, at the same time digging the
spurs into my horses sides, but it was
too late, for even as he sprang forward
the old bull caught him full in the flank,
pitching him with me on his back, into
the air like dog. The recoil Of the
heavily-charged !. elephant gun with
which was unluckily shooting twisted
it clean out of my hands, so that we all,
horse, gun and man, fell in different di-
rections. My horse regained his feet
and galloped away Immediately.
The buffalo, on tossing the horse, had
stopped dead, and now stood with his
head lowered within few feet of me. I
had fallen in a sitting position and fac
ing my unpleasant looking adversary. /
could see no wound on him, so must have
missed, though can scarcely UNDER
stand how, as he was very close when I
fired. However, had not much time
for speculation, as the old brute, after
glaring at me o few seconds with his
sinister-looking, bloodshot eyes, finally
made up his mind, and, with a grunt
rushed at me. threw my body out
fiat around the ground to one side, and
just avoided the upward thrust of his
horn, receiving, however, a severe blow
on the left shoulder with the round part
of it, nearly dislocating my right arm
with the force with which my elbow was
driven against the ground, ndreceiying
also kick on the instep from one of his
feet. Luckily for me he did not turn
again, as he most certainly would have
done had he been wounded, but galloped
clean away. 9 giG [.
The first thing to be done was to look
after my horse, and about $50 yards
from where he had been tossed found
him. The buffalo had struck him full in
the left thigh; it was an awful wound,
and, as the poor beast was evidently in
the last extremity, hastily loaded my
gun and put him out of his misery.
There | was, left alone and uninjured,
with only my gun for company, and the
nob-backed bufslo cantering away
toward the horizd'3. -Denver Tribune

Dragged.

Boys are often as foolish braggarts as
their elders. They love to s.show of. >,
and will put themselves to trouble and
pain in order to win admiration. The
following anecdote, taken from the New
York Ledger, displays braggart whose
folly brought ridieule upon himself:
when | was at school, says Colonel
Tracey, late clerk to the Mayor, .sthere
was one boy with whom l was always
quarreling. He was an Irish youth
named Barney, and, like many Of his
countrymen, he had fair share OF
mother wit. l believe I disliked him
mainly because of his wit, which sooner
or later made every boy in school the
butt of some joke.
''Never shall forget how I tried to
get even with him, and how wofully he
beat me with my own weapons. LAYING
my plan carefully beforehand I drew
Barney into controversy, in presence
of most of the boys, upon the compare
tive bravery of the Anglo-Saxon and
Celtic races. After warm discussion.
in which history was largely drawn
upon, and much bantering exchanged, I
said:
" Look here, Barney, we ean.test the
thing right here. You are an Irishman
/ am Yankee. Now will engage to
do something here, this moment, that you
viii not dare to do
eco ahead!' returned he defiantly.
and the boys crowded around to see the
fun. | took a large pin from my coat
and deliberately thrust it through the
lobe of my ear, pulled it through to the
head and then drew it out. It hurt
dreadfully, but never WINGED.
9. There Barry said /, handing him
the pin, L dare you to do that
Every eye was upon him, but he was
quite equal to the occasion.
