Dining Sumptuously Without Toll.

How the lilies of the valley, who
neither toll nor spin, nor have any pri-
vate means, manage, year after year, to
enjoy the good things of this world,
has always been wonder to me. Sit
ting. the other day, with one of these
lilies, / ventured to ask him to explain
the mystery of his existence. This
u.s." he said, show I provide myself with
excellent dinners and pocket money.
Whenever new restaurant of any re-
pute is opened, dine there twice and
pay for my dinners. The third time /
send for the proprietor, and, telling him
that have forgotten my purse, ask him
to send waiter home with me, when i
will pay my bill. To this he objects.
/ give him my name and address, and
the next day send him the price Of
the dinner. Then dine two or three
times without paying, and pay for the
three dinners together. By this time ]
have thoroughly established my credit,
and can dine luxuriously for long
period, without being troubled with the
bill. at once organize picnics. Ibeg
each guest to hand me his share of the
bill, and 1 pocket the money, leaving
the entire amount to be charged to me.
A new restaurant does not like to COM
mence its career by suing customer !;
80 when at last the proprietor is tired
of feeding me / promise to pay him
some day, and then commence opera
tons with one of his confreres. Jeal-
ousy, and pleasure in seeing those in
the same business done, prevents any
one who has been victimized warning
others against me.-London Truth. i.

THE North German Gazette pro-
fesses to see in the military activity in
France and Russia evidence of deter
mination on their part soon to engage
in an aggressive war with Germany. 1t
states that neither Of these nations has
ever been attacked by Germany, and
asserts that their colossal ornaments
can therefore only be based upon a
policy OF hostility.

CHEWING GUM.
What IL Is, Where 1t Comes From and How
1t Is Prepared for Sale.

What IL Is, Where Ii Comes From and How
1t Is Prepared for Sale.
from the Cincinnati Commercially
We have it upon common report that
chewing gum is substance we'll known
to the youthful part of the community.
The qualities which it possesses at the
time that it comes from the confection-
er are all familiar to the youngest of
us. 1t certainly seems very attractive
edible. The reason for this is not so
hard to find. Think how much eating
there is in it in proportion to actual
weight and cash value. But there is
more in chewing gum than is dreamed
of in juvenile philosophy. One can
easily comprehend the main ingredi-
ents of candy, but who, without being
told, would suspect that chewing gum is
often only refined product of petro-
leum? The time was when the
fragrant spruce furnished the most
common material. But this is no
longer the case. The reader, familiar
with the processes of refining coal oil, is
aware that the thick, brown liquid which
comes from the earth, at one stage of
its manufacture, is strained through
heavy linen cloths. The residuum left
after this operation is dirty, brownish
yellow wax that smells abominably.
That unpromising substance, melted,
bleached, deodorized and prepared for
commerce, appears In masses that weigh
about 100 pounds, resembling oblong
blocks of clouded ice. 1t has no odor
and no taste except what belongs to any
wax in its purest state. 1t may be used
for many purposes, but it is not neces-
sary to describe them now. The man.
ufacturer of chewing gum purchases
these blocks ready made to his hand,
and at once melts them down. To 200
pounds of wax he adds about thirty
pounds of sugar, and gives the mixture
favor by the use of some essential
oil, as lemon or vanilla, and perhaps
adds some coloring matter. The melt.
ed mass is poured out upon a clean
marble slab and cut in the various
| shapes known to masticators.
The youthful epicure rarely becomes
so luxurious as to demand balsam of to.
lu; but if he does the manufacturer is
ready for him. This resin, which is OBJ.
tanned from South America, is, at first
in an almost-Auid condition. It is the
product Of tree known as now hold
your jaw, for the name is worse than 9
whole box of chewing gum-myrasper-
mum tolulferum. This balsam is boiled
by the manufacturer until finally it is
brought to such consistency that it car
be run through rollers. 1t comes out
in the shape of little slender rod, of 6
brownish-yellow color, which is cut into
pieces, each about two or two and hal
inches long. The balsam may some
times be mixed with less costly wax
since its flavor is very marked.
The balsam from the "chicle" tree
from Central America, is used in max
ing what is known as swapping gum, i
is very ductile when worked and moist
ened, and the process of making is sim
liar to that of pulling taffy. The orig
inal gum exudes from the tree, anC
forms in a mass sometimes severa
pounds in weight. Even in this natHra
ctate it would be a very satisfactor,
substance to keep the teeth at work. 1

who should appeal to the law for pro-
lection. 1t is not possible for individ-
uals, by an agreement like this, to set
aside the law and yield up the most i'm
portant of human rights-personal lib
erty. 1t is nothing less than this in its
effect if carried ont, and can only be
regarded as an outrage at once disgrace

THE famine now so keenly felt in Ire
land will, in all probability, have the
effect to increase the Irish immigration
to this country. The suffering of thirty
years ago had such a result, and the i'm.
migration statistics of that time are of
interest. The number of immigrants
in 1847, when the famine had fairly
shown the necessity that some of the
population should seek new homes, was
more than twice as great as in the pre-
vious year, amounting to 105, SEQ.

&Ew YORK papers give publication to
a COPY of an agreement which all the
employees of the tobacco manufacturers,
p. Lorillard & Co., are required to sign
in consideration of having employment.
'tssrsGe Of the most remarkable docu-

the assumption that all humanity is dis
