Bores and Bored:

Many men are unjustly call ed bores
because they venture to press their own
opinions to those which may be ad-
vanced in their presence. They are
not content to be mere lsteners-thev
wish to be listened to in turn. Carly 10
took a friend, and much younger man,
out walking with him, and, in his usual
way, INDUCED in monologue, in which.
nevertheless, his companion was much
interested. Once or twice, however,
the friend ventured to put in word or
two of objection in regard to something
said by Carlyle. This annoyed Oar.
lyle intensely, and when they reached
home he turned upon his companion
and addressed to him the following
warning: Young man, I'd have ys
to know that ye've the capacity for be-
ing the greatest bore in Europe" The
poor man had hardly spoken a dozen
words, but since these had been criti-
cal they had made him seem to Carlyle
q potential bore of colossal proportions.
Now in thinking the matter over, it
would seem that people of this sort, so
far from being bores themselves, are
merely the detectors of the latent ca.
pacity of boring in others. a.s,

Trades that Affect the Teeth.

Quicksilver miners follow the most
unhealthy trade in the world. The
fumes of the mercury produce con-
slant salvation and the system becomes
permeated with the metal, the teeth Of
the unfortunate men drop out. they
lose their appetite, become emaciateG,
and, as a rule, seldom live longer thar
two years. Chloride of lime, employed
by bleachers, frequently destroys the
enamel and dentrine of the teeth But
phosphorus, used so largely in the
manufacture of lucifer matches, affects
a very large number of persons, women,
girls and children greatly preponder-
ating. People who work in soda fac.
tories are affected by the teeth becom.
ing soft and translucent I; they break
off close to the gums.
Doctor Hesse, of Leipsic, states that
bakers are likely to suffer from carious
teeth on account of the -four entering
the mouth during work, collecting on
and around the teeth, where it decom-
poses and generates an acid destructive
to the dentine.
