Chewing Gum.

A gentleman in the streets of c.
Iowa, lately counted, in fifteen minutes,
seventy ladies ctc,oing gum. This habit
prevails. extensively-cs especially in the
West. Almost every school girl you me ct
is chewing, chewing. chewing.
OF course it viii not be pretended that
this habit is either as injurious or as nasty
as that of chewing tobacco yet it is not
altogether innocent. -f(
When food is taken, saliva is secreted
to aid in masticating it. When other
substances are chewed, saliva is at first,
secretcd as for food bnt'the vital instincts
soon recognizing the nature of the SUBJ
stance. excrcte fluid similar to saliva
for the defense of tissues. This fluid
Thrown out against tobacco, gum, etc., is
really an excretion. f.n n1E y --,3r,g
The bile occasioned by taking poisson
Gus medicines, has. by careful experiment
and analysis. been found to be quite diff
ferent substance from that secreted by
the liver in its healthy action. So the
fluid which the salivary glands produce
during rprotracted chewing of that which
is not food, is quite different from healthy
saliva. The waste. however, is probably
Just. as, great as if it were healthy saliva.
Those who habitually chew gum, unduly
exercise the snlivary glands thus wasting
vital force and injuring the glands. oc-
casioning in them either ultimate debility.
or undue developement in size. There is
also danger, of permanent depreciation
and poisoning of the salivary glands.
This constant chewing alio Injuries the
teeth. The teeth are no small item in a
lady's beauty: and as they 60 to such
rapid decay in America, demanding so
early the dentists care. it is surprising
that ambitious young ladies should so
destroy them. Boys often ruin
their teeth by cracking npts; they do it
to get at the kernel-thev have motive
but what possible motive can boys, girls.
Or women, have for chewing, chewing,
hour after hour, an insipid lump
of gum?
The habit also diverts attention from
iuty or study, and is one of the many
amiliar modern modes Of killing time.
In short, it is useless. indecent, unhealth-
Iul practice. Boys and girls let it alone.

Use Of Sulphur in Nests.

The powdered sulphur sold by all drug
gists is a cheap and handy preventive OF
parasites upon young chickens. After
hen has been sitting till well established.
sprinkle small handful upon her eggs
when she is off, and upon every part Of
the nest, and for little distance all around
it. Then when she is on disturb her just
enough to mike her bristle her feathers.
and then dust another handful down to
the skin upon her head, neck and every
part of her body not in contact with the
nest, and do not omit to scatter q pinch
under each wing. Then when the chick
ems are hatchcd, there will be no vermin
whatever to leave the hen and gather upon
the young as is frequently the case when
no prccaution such as wo have described
will suffice.

Her pouting lips you taste;

But more in love than spite;

Grating.

For this reason, when grating is done
late. no moro of tho stock should be cut
away than is necessary for tho insertion OF
the graft. If the gratis have been kept
in good condition, without the starting Of
the bud, they will do well; bat il a
young stock in full leaf is cut off to insert
the graft, it viii meet with severe check
and the new tree will be feeble. Small
trees should not be grated late, for this
reason; but large ones. when most Of tho
head is allowed to remain, will saeisr liz !.
