SELFlSH.NESS.

We Nearly Always Discover 1t IN
Others. but Never In Ourselves. 4
Probably the most insidious Of all the
faults is that upon the absence Of which
we most pride ourselves, and that at the
same time we notice most readily in
others. In some of US it is pride, in
Others gossiping. The list is long, and
we know it without going into details,
but that which we do not seem to real
ize is that the very most common fault
of us all as a mass is selfshness.
We do iknow that nearly every .one
we meet is selfish, but we seldom dis
cover how selfish we are ourselves un-
less shown by a sudden touch of deep
regret. Most of us discover, for in
stance, that we were selfish in refer
ence to some dear friend dead, but we
stop right there, and while we regret
the past and shed useless tears over the
lost chance I'VE do not make any new
coveries-namely, that we are selfish
to our living frieuds-and while We
think that they are being unfair, nn-
kind, to us 1Ee forget to be generous
ourselves, to look beyond the frown,
the hard word, the selfish act or neglect,
and see what it is that causes all this,
to see what strain our friend is bearing
and share it liz SO far as patience, gener-
ous forbearance, will Tighten it.
Think how selfish most of US have
been in time gone by, how quick words
have gone ont to hurt hearts already
hurt, when from US at least that partic-
ular cross friend had right to hope
for better things.
Do not make a very close examina-
tion of things in general and see whether
you are not yourself NOR selfish than
are your friends, and rs-,ember that
the greatest generosity in this world is
to have patience with others in their
"selfishness, for in half the cases at
least it is pain or worry, not real in
tended unkindness at an.-Philadelph

IN RUSTIC WAYS.

The blackbirds whistle all day long
"A rhythm gladness in their song,
And night and morning down the lane
Drifts by the cowbells' rude refrain.
The flicker dips on golden wings,
And far across the meadow swings.
The swallow skins in lines of grace
Like to the curves that painters trace.
Above, below and everywhere
A sense of living thrills the air.
Springs message through the silent sent.
With earth and wood and sky is blent.
The hedgerow blossoms stain the sod,
The south winds make the grasses nod
And woolly lambs in awkward play
Down the green hillside ambling stray
Along the blue horizon rim
The lights and shadows sink or swim.
And penciled family On the skies
A ghostly half moons crescent lies.
The blackbirds chant the whole day long
A rhythmic madness in their song,
And dusk and dawn along the lane
Echoes the cowbells' rude refrain.

OUR JAWS NEED EXERCISE
Lack of Mastication Causes Dyspep-
STA and Teeth Troubles.

Lack of Mastication Causes Dyspep-
STA and Teeth Troubles.
Masticatio,s is rapidly becoming lost
art, and, although we have become
hardened to the fact that three-fourths
of the dyspepsia is due to this cause, it
might surprise some of US to know that
the early decay of the teeth and diseases
of the gums are occasioned by this same
lack Of maxillary exercise
A disease of the gums, called Riggs
disease, which is every day becoming
more commCn. is caused almost entirely
by the Want of proper mastication.
Twenty five years ago this trouble was
not considered of any Importance by
the dentist on account of it's rare occur
renee.
Today it is given more care than the
decay Of the teeth, as be is frequently
consulted by patients who have full
set of natural teeth which are quite loose
in the jaw. Aside from this they are
sound and healthy, and after a certain
development in the disease nothing can
be done to help them.
By lack of exercise the blood which
should nourish both the bones and the
gums is not carried to the part, nor does
che blood carry sufficient material to the
teeth; hence the enamel formed is de-
fective, and early decay results FIRE.
quently, too, the mechanical develop
ment of the jaw is arrested by this same
want of motion.
Most of the food among the better
class of people today is cooked 80 as to
require very little mastication, and the
consequence is that the muscles have
become dabby, the jaws slender and the
processes for the attachment of the
muscles almost obliterated.- Boston

Obedience of Orders.

A naval commander in the reign OF
Queen Anne was ordered to cruise with
squadron within certain limits on the
coast Of Spain. Having received infor-
nation that Spanish feet was in Vigc
beyond his limits, he resolved to risk
his personal responsibility for the good
of his country. He accordingly attacked
and defeated the Spanish feet with un-
common gallantry. When he joined the
admiral under whom be served, he was
ordered under arrest, and was asked,
if he did not know that by the art
Giles Of war he was liable to be shot for
disobedieuce of orders.
He replied with great composure
that he was very sensible that he was,
but added, 1.-The man who is afraid tc

ONE GLASS OF WINE.
A Belief That 1t Changed the Histor
of This Country.

4 Belief That 1t Changed the History
of This Country.
St is said that single glass of wine
probably wrecked the Democratic party
in 1860. The story is worth telling
After the breaking up of the national
Democratic convention at Charleston
the party in Georgia held a state con-
vention. Great excitement prevailed
The leaders of the party could not
agree. It was critical period.
The majority report Endorsed the Sc
ceders or boilers at Charleston, while
the minority report opposed their ac-
tion. The leading champion of the mi
nority was Herschel " Johnson, and
his followers were confident that his
eloquence and logic would carry the
day.
1t is quite likely that such would
have been the case but for an unfortu
nate mishap. Ex-Governor johnson be-
gan his speech before the noon adjourn
ment on the second day and concluded
after dinner
Old men who remember that speech
say that it was a powerful argument
and the impression gained ground that
after the noon recess the speaker would
demolish his opponents with a few
sledge ha1nmer blows.
But the overconfident friends of the
minority report were doomed to disap-
pointment. johnson felt the strain of
the morning session so much that he
was unable to eat anything, and he took
a glass OF Wine upon an empty stomach
TO strengthen himself This was fatal
mistake. That one glass of wine per
haps changed the destiny of the nation
The great orator resumed his speech.
but the wine had nauseated him. He
was hazy, verbose and unintelljgible at
times His style and argument lacked
vigor, consistency and positiveness. His
friends looked at one another in despair
The men on the other side We're exult
ant. 1t was evident that the speaker
had damaged his own cause.
Then Howell Cobb and Henry r.
jackson followed each other for the ma
jority report They spoke with an air
of expectant triumph and captured the
convention.
The majority report was adopted. II
is unnecessary to follow the history OF
the next few weeks. The national De-
mocracy was completely disrupted and
put two tickets in the field. Lincoln
was elected and the country was plung.
ed into civil war. Had Johnson sue.
ceeded in inducing the Georgia conven.
tion to adopt his conservative ideas, it
is safe to say that other southern states
would have fallen into line with ou1
commonwealth, and the national Demo.
cratic party would have remained
united.
This is the story of what little glass
of wine did. It ruined a great party,
caused disastrous war, and besides the
loss Of life cost the south over 49, 900,
900, 1000 Perhaps this is rather specu.
lative, but there are many who believed

yQeooine Customs.

ANENT an article on Passover the Jewish Criterion
said among other things in it's last issue:
"Certanlv, the Jews born and bred amid filthy
and nosome conditions physically better able
to endure the stomach-racking edible than the MOD
erns accustomed to healthful surroundings!
The exclamation point (which appears in the origi-
nall is extremely appropriate, for this is certainly
remarkable statement. Of all the bad qualities
ascribed to the Jews this is the first time we have
ever seen fthness included in the list and by what
process of reasoning it deduced that man raised
in filth physically stronger tn one who is not!
1t may be- as the writer says, that the stomachs
of our tenderly raised and carefully coddled young
men of to-day are weaker than those of their ances
tors However this is not the only portion OF their
anatomy that has deteriorated
AS TO the inuendo that filth is concomitant OF
the matzoth, we are sure that it would never have
been made had the writer thought carefully OF what
he was saving for the tone OF the Criterion has al
ways borne out it's name.
We do not hesitate to assert and we believe the
writer Of the extract will agree with us, that IN the
old DAYS when grandmothers and great-grand-
mothers carefully supervised and often personally
executed the work of the household, there was
. deal less filth and great many matzoth than
in this era of high-priced incompetent help"

least we should judge SO by the liberal
applause which greeted the various
efforts of the company in their acting OF
specialties. While the drama was devoid
of any particular plot it afforded the
company AL opportunity to Introduce an
immense amount of funny business,
