BICYCLE GUMS.
Another Physical Popularity Said to Il
Due to the Wheel.

Another Physical Popularity Said to Be
Due to the Wheel.
Bicycle riding and poor teeth are
about the last two subjects one would
place together, but that an overfondness
for indulgence in exercise upon the
wheel is developing a diseased condi-
ton of the gums and teeth can be testi
fed to by many unfortunate victims and
their dentists.
1t is caused by the extra effort neces-
STATED in ascending hills or in running
races, and the short, quick breaths of
cold air that strike the overheated gums
through the open mouth develop con-
gestion of those parts. The face swells
as with an ordinary toothache, pur
forms around the teeth and loosenh
them, and in many cases leads to their
extraction later, and the pain is equal
to having all ones teeth ulcerating at
once.
A prominent dentist stated, when in
terviewed upon the subject, that he had
had several cases of that kind ut
comes" he said, from an abnormal
current of air, from fast riding, striking
the gums, and if the popularity Of the
bicycle continues it will develop new
feature in dentistry. At private meet
ing of several dentists the other evening
we found upon comparing notes that
these cases are increasing. The only
preventive is a difficult one to follow,
and that is always ride with the mouth
closed The same effect, however, is
caused by an unnatural draft of air, as,
for instance, sitting in front of an cleo
trio machine for long period. have
had several cases of that nature from
hotel stewards and their assistants,
whose offices are generally situated in
the basement, where change of air can
be brought about by artificial means. "

MAUD MULLER AND TRlLsY.

Maud Muller had Trilby foot.
But she was not Tri ~. e. I
"A very different girl wa she,
And 50 her story will be.
Sweet Maud was dressed in battered gown
Trilby in altogether"
For Trilby posed in studios
And Maud out in the weather.
Poor Maud ashamed of her bare feet,
Her bushes tried to smother,
While Trilby first put one foot out
And then stuck out the other.
Love came to both of them one day,
Which they both had to smother,
The Judge he smiled and rode away,
Billee went with his mother.
Then both these girls were hypnotized,
Poor Maudie by farmer,
While Trilby fell beneath the spell
OF satanic charmer.
Poor Maud she sighed, sit might have
beenl"
But Trilby knew it should not,
So bravely tried to let him go,
And sing although she could not.
Alas, for judge and gifted boy,
The darling little Billeei
Strangers evermore to joy
M, Their fate they bore quite lily.
The world, too, signs with secret pain.
And wishes, "Will he. mill he,
The judge had married rustic Maud

A PUZZLED PHILOSOPHER.
Why Should He So Greatly Miss the
Things That Are NOt2

Why Should He So Greatly Miss the
Things That Are NOt2
A philosopher dwelt in house owned
by Cleon. But one day Cleon came to
the philosopher and said, "Why have
you not sent me the money for last
months rent?" The philosopher said he
knew of no reason except that he had no
money, having gotten to the bottom of
his purse.
"You will have to move out, " said
CleoD, ''to make room for cordwainer
l know who wants this house and has
money"
Would you then" said the philoso-
pher, turn me out when am so COM
Portable here, having dwelt in this house
80 years2"
'It is my comfort, said Cleon. land
not yours that 1 consider. F"
Then you prefer a cordwainer, I
conclude, to a philosopher. y
"No," said Oleon; "a landlord has
no preference except to prefer rent mon
ey to no rent money"
So the cordwainer moved into the
philosophers house, and the philosopher
went to live in the mean howell of the
cordwainer.
But once there, although contented
enough, because he was a philosopher,
vet he could not avoid the obtrusive
facts of the absence of all those things
which in his former habitation had
grown habitual to him.
This was the first thing that puzzled
him-how that which was not could be
SO obtrusive "What, " said he, "can be
so entirely nonexistent as a negation?
And yet here l am confronted with an
obtrusive negation.
81 miss, 3" said he again, "a chest of
drawers, a table, a fireplace and the
scenery from the window where used
to sit. Iwonder if it will be 50 after we
are driven out from our bodies because
death, the final, memorable landlord, de-
mands a rental we cannot pay.
In time, however, the philosopher
gradually ceased being oppressed by the
obtrusive memories and grew accustom-
ed to new associations.
81 wonder" said he, ''if it will be
so when we are immortals-after death
at first painful regrets for what we have
lost, and in the end nothing of the old
but faint memories and new set of as
sociations. l wonder always and won
der most if philosophy will ever be any
thing better than clever wondering

HE LOST THE GIRL.
But Got Satisfactory Dig at His Rival
Before He Died.

But Got Satisfactory Dig at His Rival
Before He Died.
He and her father were great friends.
AS only four persons figure in this story
1t is unnecessary to mention names He
had rival for her affections, and her
father could never understand why she
preferred the rival to him. One day
when he sat ON the porch chatting with
her father she called him into the par
lor and told him frankly that she had
promised to marry his rival. He did
not plead or beg. He kissed her hand
with sort of reverence, and then re-
turned to his seat on the porch and re-
hewed the conversation with her father.
In those few moments everything seemed
to have changed for him. The sun did
not shine as brightly; the birds did not
sing as they did before. Even the grass
and trees seemed scar and dead He had
expected what he had just heard, but
that did not seem to abate the shock.
He was distract and moody. Her father
saw this and asked him the cause He
blurted out the whole miserable truth.
Her father continued to polish his
glasses carefully and then said:
"Wimmen folks is mighty onsartin
critters - Her father said nothing more,
but nothing would change her mind.
Gradually it came to be generally
known that he had been rejected, and
that his rival was the fortunate wooer.
They, he and his rival, were alumni of
the same college. He was down for a
speech at the alumni dinner. A month
before he had attended her wedding.
No one ever heard him complain, though
all knew how he suffered. He was
looked upon as the orator of his class,
and great speech was expected. When
he arose, sinister glitter could be seen
in his eye He began to speak slowly.
He took as his text Acquired Tastes "
He spoke as length. Finally he said;
II called upon a dear friend some
time ago who had just had a daughter
married. He felt his loss very keenly,
/ tried to console him, telling him that
while he had lost daughter he had
gained son. He said slowly to me:
Maybe / will come to like him
after awhile-like l do my cigar, but
the first few puffs are making me
mighty sick "
1t was in Kentucky. Not word was
said then, but just as the sun peeped
over the hills the next day two dark
forms were seen silhouetted against the
sky. There were two flashes, a combin-
ed, subdued report-and one fell, never
to rise again. 1t was he.-New York

sumed indifference there ragged within
me the fiercest volcano that ever burned

up to the privacy of my own room, with

WINE OF THE MORNING.

Some would quaff their nectar
From carven cups of gold,
That like an open flower,
With satin lips unrolled,
Exhales a liquid fragrance
OF luxury untold.
Some would quaff their nectar
From Venus poppy lips,
The crimson fount of folly,
Where pulsing passion sips,
In drowsy dreams of sweetness,
Through which time thrills and slips
But would quaff the nectar
Whose fount is ever free
Pure zephyrs from the mountain.
Salt breezes from the sea,
All fraught with mornings fervor.
And wild wings poetry.
Take all earth's exultationi
Its rosy sweets divine,
Its perfumes and its purple,
Its rare and fair and fine;
The breeze is heavens brewing,
Gods blessing in his wine.

A surgeon in the English army has
found that the best way to treat blisters
on the feet is to insert the point of a
needle or other puncturing instrument
in the sound skin about one-eighth of an
inch beyond the edge of the blister.
Then pass the needle horizontally into
the blister, and if raised the liquid will
run out beneath. When the raised outer
skin only is pricked, it is apt to be sore
and troublesome. After the liquid has
disappeared fiatten the blister and cover
it with absorbent cotton or something
equally soft. Persons who have to be
on their feet much of the time or those
obliged to walk great deal will find it
relief to change the shoes every other
day and the stockings each morning.
