| SECRETS ToLD TO DENTISTS. lone
chapter of dentists secrets--the secrets
revealed to them by customers made un-
conscious but talkstlve by gas--has been
revealed by constituencies toothpullei
up in Pittsburgh. One society young
lady swore several lines Of blank spaces
while tooth was being drawn. A burg.
lar, taken from Jail to have tooth pulled,
confessed all the details OF his crime when
under the influence" and parted with
ten years of his liberty. Occasionally
men want to fight and are very strong;
others are jolly and confidential. The
most interesting story Of the series is this,
told by one dentist Of another: II know
OF a young dentist who was head over
heels in love with a pretty girl, but he
could never make any Roadway with her.
He was bashful. Tlmt was the main
trouble. One day she came to him to
have a tooth pulled. He administered
gas, and before she revived she let drop
enough to assure my friend that il he pro.
posed he wouldn't be rejected. She is his
wife today. and II 1t had not been for the
gas don't suppose the wedding would
ever have come of. Washington News.
Do WOMEN TALK Too MrcH?-very
lovely and very levable is the woman
who has cult 'ated disposition angelic
enough to see the good and not the evil
side of human nature, who can be severe
with her own failings, and excuse thu
faults OF others. We are told that she il

her neighbours pet weakness, she does
not enjoy hitting out right and left at thu
world at large. and is always ready with
plea for unseen and unsupported rea

would go long way toward modifying
harsh judgment. Our lovable woman
may not be witty, she may be prosy. bu,
she it is to whom we go when in trouble fol
sympathy and confide with feeling thai
our secret will not be torn to shreds al
soon as our back is turned.
