| address to the students of the Royal Dental hospital and the London School of Dental Surgery, reminded his audience that this was an age or crazes. Everybody is on diet" he said. Some people drink at meals, some drink before meals, and possibly some drink under other circum- stances. Some eat meat, others do not touch 1t, and some live on diet of water and nuts. If these people were little more careful about their teeth they would not need to be so careful about their diet
 It may look like abusing man who comes into the center. with a horse to oblige him to hitch the animal when he leaves it standing alongside the curbstone, especially when there is nothing to tie it to-. but after all when one sees so many horses run ming here and there at great peril to life and limb, he cannot help saying that the law is all right and that it should be enforced more strictly than | it is. In addition to hitching his | horse, a man who owns an old plug that bites and leaves it where it can reach people on the sidewalks should be compelled to put a muzzle on 1t or place sign on his wagon warn- | ing pedestrians to be on the lookout. Waterbury is full of vicious horses and not day goes by but somebody has close shave from coming ill contact with their molars.
 | If there is one more eXasperatlng torment than another to be found, it is the indiscriminate match scratch CT, the man who wouldn't hesitate to draw the match across the choicest l bit of art, whether on the wall or the parlor or on the front of build ing The As You Like It man was behind such all individual the other day. First he tried the highly polish ed front of one of the Jones, Morgan, Co pillars, but the substance was so smooth the match failed to go off. Next the fellow tried the adjoining column of the Hampson-Sellew fur niture store, but again the match was dark. Nothing daunted the fellow made the third trial on the door post of the furniture store, and this time he was successful and applied the lighted match to his cigarette. Per haps this fellow would say he had an excuse, for he had boils all over his neck and might offer this as a req son for not being able to bend down to strike the match on the pavement or on the heel of his shoe,
 Talking about the stringency ln the money market, a man said to- day that he wonders there is dol lar in circulation at all, considering the way some hold onto the few greenbacks that come within their reach. He works in one of the fac tories, and after receiving his pay he asked one of his shopmates for the change of $10 bill. The fel- low said he wasn't sure whether he had it or not, at the same time pull ing a large roll from his bosom and commencing to look through It. Most of the bills were tens, but there were some fifties in the bunch After turning them over for few minutes he finally picked out the change I had asked and then handed him my ten spot, which he slipped into the pile and then nicely folding the roll, he replaced it next his heart and went on picking UT metal just the same as if he wasn't worth 5 cents. The more l thought of this the more I became convinced that if everybody hoarded his money in this fashion the world would be great deal worse than it is, for z working man never could hope tC borrow enough to put a roof ovel his head"
