what Chewing t;um Il.

We have it uyon 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 il comes from the confectioner
are all familiar 10 the youngest OF US.
1t certainly seems very attractive edi-
bic. TIE reason for this is nos SC hard
to find. Think how much eating there
is in it III proportion to actual weight
and cash value. But there is more in
chewing gum than is dIeamt of even in
iuvenils philosophy.
Oae can easily comprehend the main
ingredients OF candy, but who, without
being told, would suspect that chewing
gum Is often nnly refined product OF
petroleum. The time was when the
fragrant spruce furnished the most COM
mon material for the purpose. But this
is no longer the cbse. 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 resid-
uum left after this operation is dirty
brownish yellow wax, that smells abom-
iDably. That uupromising substance,
melted. bleached, deodorized and pre-
pared for commerce. appears in masses
that weigh about one hundred 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. hut
it is no. necessary to describe them
now.
The manufacturer Of chewing gum
purchases these blocks ready made to
his hand, and at once melts them down.
To the hundred pounds of wax he adds
about thirty pounds of sugar and gives
the mixture flavor by the use Of some
essential oil, as lemon or vanilla, and
perhaps, adds some coloring matter. II
is rare for a-y danserous drug to bs
used in this process d coloring, ant
This may we'll be believed, sincs ths
chewing gum is usually white. or tinged
simply, red or yellow. The melted masi
is poured ont upon clean marble slal
and cut in this various shapes known Il

snail the sun ~ Rnerutlnnerl

Apropos of the death of the French
headsmnn curious article by Camille
Desmoulins on capital punishment has
been unearthed. He advocates the Sc
lection from among the imprisoned
murderers Of the most ferocious Of their
number to be employed as headsman,
that an the punishment Of criminals
these wretches might always behold the
doom they had merited and perhaps
were not to escape" Itmight be urged
that these executioners would bungle
their work. Camille proposed q plan
which should be Welcomed by all gentle
minds, and which has already been pro-
posed in tho National Assembly by
just and merciful man, Dr.. Guillotin.
Employ a purely mechanical instru-
ment, where there will be nothing to do
but to cut rope and let an Ak fall"
But camille saw that it might be OBJ
jected to that the opprobrium of being
an executioner would still rest upon the
man that held the scissors, and made
provision for the objection thus Place

field. aud At tn. hour of p-the- action

A pleasant incident is related Of Liszt.
A young orphan. pianist, wholly de-
pendent on herself for support, went to
a small town III Germany, advertised 8
concert for a certsin day, and stated
that ahs was pupil of Liszt. The day
before the concert, she discovered, to
her great disnay, that List had arrived
in the town, and was staving in the same
hotel with herself. Fearing an ex-
posure, which would be fatal to her
future career, she waited on Liezt, and
in the most humble manner begged par
don for the unwarranted use she had
made Of his name, making him acluaint-
ed at the same time with her unfriended
situation. He listened to her story, and
in the kindest manner requested her to
sit down to the piano and play one Of
the pieces she had prepared for the next
days concert. He sat down by her side,
gave her advice as to how certain pas
sages should be rendered. corrected some
fauits, and then said, Now, my young
friend. have given you lesson; you
may henceforth call yourself pupil of
Liszt. Before she could stammer out
her thanks, he added, IF the pro
grammes are not yet printed, you may
state that on this occasion you will be
assisted by your instructor, the Abbe
Liszt.

snnriined snnsntionaIIsm.

Col can use a sanct fed sensation
alism. Men must be made to hear, II
they were TO believe; they must bave a
preacher whom they could not help
hcnrirg. There vas no time to lose.-
Therefore the age must bs startled into
listening Better his gift Of prophefyiDg
than all tho apocalyptic prophecy Of the
later John. Nsver ives man more fitted
10 his place thsn was this nuucio of the
heavenly Ring TO a slumbering world.
His appearance, his manner OF life, bis
way Of putting things -=everythinp about
him was calculated to make him the
hero and the sensation of the hour. A
Nazarite with shaggy and unshorn locks,
a hermit of the wilderness, whose diet
was the locust and honey OF the rocks
and woods. and whose dress was a rough
oamlat robe fastened about his waist by
leathern belt. plain of speech even to
rudeness, yet irresietibly attractive by
his eloquence, preaching IN no syn
agogue or city streets but under the
open sky and by the river bark-who
can wonder that the whole population Of
Palestine f1ocked to his great camp
meeting and were on the tiptoe OF ex
peetaney for the coming Christ. God
has sarctined to Himself Just such &C.
centric and magnetic personalities in
every ago Of His church to perform for
Him an exceptional work. We need not
enumerate these lights, not less bright
and shining because many colored and
even meteoric. God can call them nov,
aud will when he wants them--only let
no one assume the Office without the
calling if he would not be a motley fool.
The King of Heaven needs no jester
Let no preacher dare to be a sensation
alist unless he be formed SO in his
mothers womb, and utters his native
woodnotes wild from the depths of a
crucifed and consecrated heart. Let no
one aspire to do Johns work in Johns
way unless he be John in utter self
forgetfulness and self-surrender.
