Match Company Insists ON Its EN-.
pioyes Having Good Molars.
It is more than two weeks since the
company, in Passaic, n. j., were sol.
EMMY warned to have their teeth
plugged or loose their jobs. Yet there
are still unplugged cavities in the teeth
of the Continentars employees, and only
the dentists are out of job. Six days
remain in which these Deficiencies may
be made good. The Continental en-
ployes number about 800 hands, Of
whom 200 are girls. Mr.. Gould is not
crank on teeth, but it was forcibly
brought to his notice the other day that
if a man, woman or child in the employ
ment of match company lost his or he-
teeth in the course of employment the
employing company might be held LA
BILE. The widow of an employee of the
Diamond Match company lately recov.
cred $4,000 from the company in suit
having no other basis. This set the
Continental people to thinking, and the
result was that they called in dentist
to inspect the teeth Of all their EN-.
ployes. The results were startling. il
was found that of 200 young women, in
ordinary health, and Of rather gooi
looks, as many as 60 had defective teeth.
Some of the defects were not obvious,
some were. But in three-tenths of the
mouths examined by the dentist there
were exposed nerves. Every doctor
knows that to expose a bone, not prop
erly covered with enamel, to the fumes
Of phosphorus, means necrosis. which
is death of the bone The Continental
Match company is only standing pat"
If it stands by its edict, as the manager
says it will. there will be some busy
dentists in Passaic next week, or elss
the match works will close.

by the great idea that inspired him,
this great man attacked with a species
of fury the marble in which his statue
lay concealed"
One instance Of such frenzy Of labor
came when Michael Angelo wes a boy

others too left their seats and went to

common on these occasions. Mr.. Elias
Williams, of Bronydd, Llanllechid,
Carnarvonshire, a farmer, told me Of
an event similar to the preceding one at
Liam erfyl. This took place either at
the end OF the eighteenth century or
the beginning of the present century.
A football match had been arranged to
take place on a certain Sunday. on a
hin midway between Llanbedr and
Llanllechid. On the day fixed upon it
rained, and though the Llanllechid
Young men kept their appointment,
their opponents failed to appear. The
following Sunday was fair, but as no
special arrangement had been made for
that day, a few only of the Llanllechid
football players went to the hill, but
the Llanbedrites appeared in fall force.
The game commenced. but the few
could not hold their own against the
many. In their distress they DIS
patched one Of their young men TO the
parish church, which was a good way
off, to bring up assistance. The mes
senger rushed over walls and marshes,
and, heated and exhausted, ran into the
church and shouted out that the Liam
bcdr boys had come. and were kicking
the BAH before thera to the parish,
turned hillwards again. At his words
the male portion of the congregation
got up as one man. ald-leaving the
parson and women to continue the
prayers-they also made for the hill.
They came upon the victors, who were
sportively kicking the ball toward their
home. But in no tine the ball was
turned in the contrary direction, and
the day ended In a glorious victory for
the Llarilechid braves.-Reliqury and
