A Warning to Girls Who Chew Gum,

We find the following curious story
10 st. Louis paper Of late date: Late
last Saturday evening an accident oc-
Cured on Portland avenue that may
serve ~ Q warning to hundreds Of
young persons who have entered upon
career of wax-chewing. A girl named
Ida Smith had been chewer for near
~ q year. She is about eleven years
old, rather bright and intelligent, and
chewed about the same quantity Of the
material that was used by neighboring
girls along the avenue. On Saturday
evening she took her wax from her
mouth, stuck it un.ler the edge of the
mantel until she could 60 to the kitch-
en- to, get . swallow Of water, and on
her return her parents were Mortified to
see her jaws moving rapidly. She was
told to throw the wax from her mouth |;
but on investigation it was found that
she was not chewing anything still hsr
jaws kept moving at a rapid rate. The
parents sent for physician, who came
and attempted to hold the jaws in a
proper position, believing it to be only
temporary, but he could not stop the
regular movement. The child grew
nervous. and thep excitement only in
creased the action of her jaws. The
physician put tight bandage over her
face, and this partially relieved the
movement, but then the twitchings of
the muscles extended all over her face.
As a last resort, q moderate dose Of
morphine was administered, and the
little girl kept up incoherent mutter-
ings, accompanied by general disturb
ance Of the muscles of the upper por-
ton of the body during the early part
of the night, and toward morning the
little sufferer was restored to her nor
NAL condition. The physician says he
never heard of such case before, and
thinks it was brought about by spas
modic action of the muscles of the face
caused by overaction. The little girl,
after enduring night OF suffering, is
now restored, but nothing in the world
could induce her to again chew wax.

An inebriate was coming down an
avenue of trees by moonlight. and
stumbled against one of them. Being
polite, though drunk, he raised his hat,
and stumbled against another tree,
begged pardon, muttered something
about his own side of the road which
he couldn't keep, and staggered for
ward. Then he stumbled against an
other tree. and apologized again. "This
won't do" he murmured too many
people coming this way. I will just
sit down till this procession has passed
by" .-..---.
There is q good old Californian story
Of carter whose fame for strong Ian
guage was such that his name was a
proverb along the western coast from
San Francisco to San Diego. One day
this gentleman was driving wagon Of
apples MP hill, when the tail board
came out, and the apples rolled one
after the other down the slope. The
neighbors assembled expectingto hear
something more than usually choice.
To their surprise the veteran, after q
brief interval of silence, moped his
forehead with his handkerchief and
calmly remarked, My friends, this is
an occasion to which l am unequal"
Curran once met his match in q pert,
jolly, keen-eyed son of the sod. who
acted as hostler at a large stable, and
who was up as witness in q case OF q
dispute in the matter OF b orse trade.
Curran much desired to break down
the credibility of this witness, and
thought to do it by making the man
contradict himself--by tangling him up
in network Of adroitly framed ques'
tions--but all to no avail. The hostler
was companion to Sam Weller. His
good common sense, and his equanimi.
/ ty and good nature were not to be over
turned. By and by Curran, in tower
| ing wrath, belched forth, as not another
counsel would have dared to do in tho
presence Of the court: .@
"Sirrah, you are incorrigible! The
truth is not to be got from you. for 1t
is not in you. I see the william in your
face T. .ta 2
"I' faith yer honor, said the witness,
with the utmost simplicity OF truth and
honesty, " my. face must be moity clane
and shinin' indade, il it can reflect like
| that I" lprI 4v
| For once in his life the great bar
rister was foored by simple witness
He could not recover from that repartee,

The AristOcracy Of the Faub0urg
st. Germain.

The Legitimist aristocracy of France,
by the female side, which is the. only
certain one abroad, is two-thirds He
brew. A part of the other third is
Yankee. Last winter I heard q son of
the Crusaders thank the divinity which
looks after noble families for having
raised up Lafayette and Washington to
provide for French strawberry leaves.
Hence the 100000 character of nobility
here and their surroundings. Hence
the sedulous cultivation of blue mold
and the bigoted adherence to forms
which have no meaning when the sys-
tenn is adopted of setting down heraldic
flowers in American guano. H
