Tne Use of TOOihnicks,

do toothpiclSs Go harm OF good?' is
question often asked. They may do
harm if abused, undoubtedly, by caus-
ing irritation of the gum between two
teeth and It's subsequent absorption,
and if made of wood splinters are
liable to be left behind, which have in
many recorded instances caused even
the loss of a tooth; but used judiciously
they are of great value in routing the
attacking forces in caries-namely, ac-
cumulations of food and mucus secre-
tions. 1t has been urged against them
that they might dislodge stopping.
But if a stopping is SO insecure it must
be faulty, and the sooner it is replaced
the better, for decay, due to the impos-
sibility of keeping the surface clean,
must be going on underneath it.-Lon-

Two Foolish Men.

Among the most interesting visitors at
the outlying summer resorts are the
rural business men who run down from
town to see the sights. They have
money and are persons of consequence
at home. One of their most important
duties is to go through the dinner. They
have expected to find a waiter behind
every chair, and fancy they are neglected
if their orders are not attended to i'm
mediately. Two of them, already an
noyed at the delay, had everything the
bill of fare could offer but the black
pepper. That was at the other end of
the table, and the waiter was gone.
Neither would take up knife or fork
without the pepper. They fumed and
fretted. They vowed they would never
come to that hotel again. They wouldn't
come there for $4,000. They wouldn't
spend a summer at any fashionable wa
tering place for money. They made
themselves so unhappy that neighbor
made an effort and got them the pepper.
But it was too late to restore their spir-
its. When the waiter endeavored to
serve them again eagerly, and with cir
cumstance, one exclaimed:
"Oh, yes; you're in great hurry now.
Don't jump around SO; you make me
nervous"
Finally the other laid down his knife
and fork and said solemnly: 81 feel like
I'm robbing my wife and children eat
ing such ;.n expensive dinner. It's the
way men ruin themselves when they
ought to be laying up money in the
bank"
Thus these two poor men struggled
through the meal, torturing themselves
with every mouthful, and simply be-
cause their little bundles of self love
were hurt at not getting the black pep
per the moment they wanted it.-New
York Evening Sun.

The stage offers many instances of a
mocking fortune. Mr.. Braton Robins,
an old actor, whose recollections of half
century ON the stage were published
in part some time ago. had the one great
chance of his life when he was in the
very direst straits. He had been a
super, and had advanced into the more
dignified rank of the recognized actor.
For some days he had been living on
bread and water, and he was weak and ILL.,
Then news came to him that Mr.. Betty
had declined his part at Drury Lane.
Mr.. Robins was sent for. The play was
''Richelieu," and he had never appeared
in it. Shylock was his favorite char
acter, and he begged that the play might
be changed. But this could not be done,
and in twenty-four hours the unknown
actor had to learn the enormous part.
He sat up all night, and next morning
he was letter perfect, but he had eaten
nothing, and his excitement would not
allow him to sleep.
When the curtain went up for the op-
portunity which gave him chance for
renown, his privations told their tale.
His voice deserted him, the performance
was failure, and at the close he was
taken away to bed and long period of
sickness. Thus in the very moment of
his success Dame Fortune showed how
tickle she could be.-Dramatic Letter.

'Say Your Nasty Little Prayersv'

Mr.. Sala in his journal relates the fol-
lowing experience of Mr.. William Black,
the novelist: when at work Mr.. Black
loves intense quiet, and cannot bear the
tlightest noise. For this reason he al
ways selects a room at the top of the
house as his study. At one time it was
his misfortune to live III what lie de-
Bcribes as a jerry built house. ard while
endeavoring to work in the early hours
of the morning, as is his custom, he tells
of one amusing inconvenience that he
was called upon daily to put mp with.
1.-The nursery of his next door neighbor
was i'll a line with his study, and in this
. somewhat numerous family was To-
Gated. Every morning lis regular as
clockwork Mr.. Black could hear the
elder sister call out, Now then, you
horrid little things, kneel down and say
your nasty little prayersr A profound
silence would follow, but the interval
was brief one. Then came rush and
clatter, and the shrill voices of the chill
dren were heard exclaiming, We have
said our prayers: we have said our pray
ers?'"

A Great Big Bluff.

"a few years ago bully known as
'big Nike was the terror of southern
Wisconsin" said Patrick O'Farrell. "Big
Mike was monarch of all he surveyed.
and his rights there was none to dis
pute. Janesville, Beloit and Waukesha
were his favorite haunts. He was al
ways spelling for fight, and as he
stood 6 feet 6 inches and was put up like
a Hercules nobody cared to accommo-
date him, and, like Arkansaw in Mark
Twain's o'ertrue tale, he travelled chiefly
ON his bluff and bad looks.
zone night Mike was in Waukesha
saloon kept by German with the patri-
otic name of Yankee. Mike was hungry
for trouble. He insulted everybody
pr, sent, imposed on the bartender and
made himself u disagreeable nuisance
generally. Presently tall, gaunt. con-
sumptive looking chap drifted in. He
looked as though good stiff breeze
would blow him away. He lounged up
to the bar, and in voice sweet and
deferential as that of bashful school
girl called for soda. Mike staggered
up w hlhi anu diliOuhCCt LID lhbChiicLi
to drink at the strangers expense. The
latter paid no attention to him. Mike
became abusive. He followed him
about the room cursing him and making
pugilistic demonstrations.
"Finally the consumptive looking
stranger turned and sweetly said: My
Christian friend. you appear to be yearn-
ing for thrashing. Be kind enough to
give me your address and will send
you home to your family when l get
through with you.' He handed Mike a
notebook and pencil and carefully re-
moved his coat. The cool audacity of
the stranger paralyzed Mike. He tried
to crawfish. but the stranger wouldn't
have it.
"'I've heard of you for two years
past, and came to Waukesha especially
to whip the insolence out of you,' he
said, 'and right here we mix
"But they didn't. Mike made break
for the door and has not been in Wau-
kesha since. 1t was a beautiful bluff.
The thin stranger could not have hurt
him with a hammer. He died two
weeks later of consumption. Chicago

A Pomeranian linesman was tried by
court martial on the charge Of stealing
comrades ration of brandy. He set
up the following plea: Gentlemen,
should really be sorry to pass for thief.
l had observed that my comrades flask
was getting old and would shortly CON-
mence to leak. l therefore took his
brandy in order to keep it for him. l
put his brandy on the top of mine, but
every time / wanted drink of my own
/ was forced to swallow some of his.
So you see, gentlemen, my intentions
were perfectly pure.
Notwithstanding his clever defense,
the man was sentenced so eight days

THE REWARD OF COLUMBUS.

To Christ he cried to quell Deaths deafcning

Sung by the storm to Deaths own chartless

To Christ he cried for glimpse of grass or tree,
When, lowering DER the calm, Death watched

And when he showed the men, now dazed with
pleasure,
Faiths new world gittering starlike on the
lee.
II trust that By the help of Christ" said he,
II presently shall light on golden treasure"
What treasure found he: Chains and pains
and SORROW
Yea, all the wealth those noble seekers find
Whose footballs mark the music of mankind!
