and went into an adjoining room, and
soon returned with small rifle in his
hands, and remarking in iocular
manner, "The penalty for singing Pin
afore is death to the offender" raised
the weapon (unloaded as usual) to his
shoulder and pulled the trigger. The
piece exploded with sharp crack, and
the Pinafore vocalist was heard to ex-
claim, III am shot!" This caused great

alton was made, and 1t was discovered |
that the young man had slight flesh

seems TO be 3 very attractive edible. The
reason for this is not 80 hard 70 find.
Think how much eating there is in II IN
proportion 10 actual wright and cash value.
But there is more in chewing gum than is
dreamed Of in juvenile philosophy. One
can easily c0mprehend the nam ingredi-
ents Of candy, but who. piihaus being told.
would suspect that chewing gum Is often
only 3 refined prodaci Of petroleum. The
time was when the fragrant spruce fur
nished the o common material for that
purpose. But this is no longer the case.
The reader familiar with the process Of
refining coal oil is xvare that the thick
brown liquid which comes from the earth.
at one stage " il manufacture, is strained
through heavy linen cloths. The residunm
left after this operation il q dirty, brown
