SELFISHNESS. We Nearly Always Discover It I Others, bat Never la OarselTe. Probably the most insidious of all tbe faults is that upon the absence of which we uiopt pride ourselves, and thai at the same tune we notice most readily in othurs. In some of ui it it pride, in others gossiping Tbe list ii long, and we know it without going into detail, but that which we do not seem to real ize is that the very moat common fault of ns all aa a mass ia aelfltthnesa. We do know that nearly every one we meet is selfish, but we seldom dis cover bow selfish we are ourselves un less shown by a sudden touch of deep regret.

Moat of us discover, for instance, that we were selfish in reference to some dear friend dead, but we stop right there, and while we regret tbe past and shed useless tears over the lost chance we do not make any new discoveries namely, that we are selfish to our living frieuds and while we that tbey are being unfair, un kind, to us we forget to be generous ourselves, to look beyond tbe frown. tbe bard word, the selfish act or neglect, and see what it is that causes all this. to see what strain our friend is bearing and sbare it in so far ae patience, gener ous forbearance, will lighten it Think bow selfish moHt of us have been in time gone by, how quick words hnve gone out to hurt hearts already hurt, when from us at least that partio olur cross friend bad a right to nope for better things. Do not make a very close examina tion of things in general aud see whether you are not yourself more selfish than are your frieuds, and remember that the greatest generosity in this world ia to have patience with others in their selfishness," for in half the cases at leant it is pain or worry, not real in tended uukindueesat all.

M. Felix Faure, president of France, died at 10 o'clock lant night after an illness of three hours. had been known for some time that his 'heart was weak, but the first intimation that he was sick was given at half past 6 in the afternoon, when a message was dispatched to the premier, Dupuy, announcing that the president was ill. About 6 o'clock Inst night M. Faure, who was In his study, went to the door the room of M.

L. It. le Gall, his private secretary, and said: "I do not feel well. Come to me." M. Ie Gall Immediately went to the president's aid, led him to a sofa and called General Kuilloud, general secretary of the pres Ident household; M.

Ulotidel, under rivate secretary, and Dr. Humbert, who happened to be at the Klvsee at nding a relative. The president's con dition did not appear dangerous, but Dr. Humbert, on perceiving that he was rapidly getting worse, telephoned for I)r. Lanne Longue and Dr.

Chourlot. no arrivea witn m. Dupuy and were Joined later by Dr. Bergeroy. The doctors soon recognized that the case was hopeless, but It was not until nearly 8 o'clock that the members of tbe PRESIDENT FAURE.

family were Informed of the real state of aftalrs. They then came to the sofa where the president lay upon a hastily Improvised bed. Soon after he began to lose conHciousness and dexplte all efforts expired at 10 o'clock In the presence of the family and M. Dupuy. The flair over the Klysee palace was minediately lowered to half mast, and the newB was dispatched to all the oftl olala and the members of the cabinet.

General Zurlinden, military governor of Paris; the grand chancellor of the Legion of Honor, the prefect of the Seine, the prefect of the police of Paris and the presidents of the senate and cham ber of deputies promptly arrived at the Elysee. The report spread rapidly through the city, and large crowds soon assembled In the vicinity of the pal ace. Effect on Political Situation. It Is expected that the struggle for the presidency will be very keen. M.

Dupuy, the premier, Is supposed to have the best chance, and the contest Is re garded as lying between him, M. Henri Brlsson and M. Ioubet. Other possible candidates are: M. de Freyclnet, minister for war; M.Godefrey Cavulgnac, for mer minister for war, and M.

Quesnay de Heaurepaire. It is reported that the recently formed league known as La Patrle Franealse will actively push M. de Reaurepalre's candidature. Under the present exceptionally ex citing conditions anything may be ex pected to happen. Much depends upon what General Zurlinden, military gov ernor of Paris, as head of the military element, may decide to do.

Ho far Paris remains trunqull. liy a curious coincidence M. Dupuy occupies the same position which he held when President Ciirnot was as sassinated on June 24, M. de Freyclnet has ordered the troops confined to barracks. The principal concern of the Republic ans.

both in and out of the government. is the possibility that the Donapartlsts and the Royalists will take advantage of this crisis and attempt to overthrow the republic. Prince Victor Napoleon, the Bona partist clnlmant, hns been busy for sev ernl months from bis safe retreat in Rrusxels trying to holster up his cuuse In France. There have been recently many rumors of alliances with various factions, and even the extreme asser tion that one of the highest military men In France had been drawn into an alliance with the prince. Nolhlng.

how ever, hns openly developed from all this agitation, although it Is recognized that the Ronaparte feeling Is atlll strong In many parts of France. OUR JAWS NEED EXERCISE. Lack of Mastlpatlon Causes Dyspep sia anil Terth Tronliles. Mastication is rapidly becoming a art, and, although wo have become hardened to the fact that three fourths of tbe dyspepsia is dne to this causo, it might surprise some of us to know that the early decay of the teeth and disputes of tbe gums are occasioned by this same lack of maxillary exorcisa A disease of the gums, called Riga' disease, which is every day becoming more common, is caused almost entirely by the want of proper mastication Twenty fivo years ago this trouble was not cousiderod of auy importance by the dentist ou account of its rare occur rence. Today it is given more care thnu the decay of the teeth, as he is frequently consulted by patients who have a full set of natural teeth which are quite loose iu the jaw Abide from this they are sound and healthy, and after a certain development in the disease uotbing can be doue to help them.

By lark ot exercise tbe blood whie should nourish Loth tbe bones and tbe gums is not curried to the part, nor does the blond carry snfiicient material to the teeth; hence tbe enamel formed is de fective, aud early decay results. Fre queutly, too, the mechanical devolop ment of tbe jaw is arrested by this same want of motion. Most of tbe food among the better class of peoplo today is conked so ns to require very little mastication, nnd th consequence is that tlio iimscles have become flabby, the jaws slender and the processes fur the attachuieut of the muscles almost obliterated.
