What Our Girls Chew.

We have it upon common report that
chewing gum is a substance well known
to the youthful part of the community.
The qualities which it possesses at the
time that it comes from the confectioner
are all familiar to the youngest of us.
1t certainly seems very attractive edi-
BILE. 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 even
in juvenile philosophy. One can easily
comprehend the main ingredients of
candy, but who, without being told,
would suspect that chewing-gum is often
only refined product of petroleum?
The time was when the fragrant spruce
furnished the most common material for
the purpose. 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 man.
ufacture, is strained through heavy linen
cloths. The residuum left after this
operation is a dirty, brownish yellow
wax, that smells abominably. That I'M
promising substance, melted, bleached,
deodorized, and prepared for commerce
appears in masses that weigh about one
hundred pounds, resembling oblong
blocks of clouded ice. It has no odor
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1880-02-13

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 two
hundred pounds of wax he adds about
thirty pounds of sugar, and gives the
mixture flavor by the use of some es-
sential oil, as lemon or vanilla, and per-
haps adds some coloring matter. The
melted mass is poured out upon clean
marble slab, and cut into the various
shapes known to mastificators.
The youthful epicure rarely becomes
so luxurious as to demand balsam of
tolu, 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 fluid condition. 1t is the
product of tree known as-now hold
your jaw, for the name is worse than a
whole box of chewing gum-myras-
permum tolulferum. This balsam is
boiled by the manufacturer until finally
it is brought to such consistency that
it can be run through rollers. 1t comes
out in the shape of little slender rod
of a brownish yellow color, which is cut
into pieces, each about two or two and
a half inches long. The balsam may
sometimes 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 snapping-gum 1t
is very ductile when worked and
moistened, and the process of making is
similar to that of pulling taffy. The
original gum exudes from the tree and
forms in mass, sometimes several
pounds in weight. Even in this natural
state it would be a very satisfactory sub
stance to keep the teeth at work. 1t can
not be worn Cincinnati CONNER

Personal Peculiarities.

About forty years ago had lad in
my employ who had the habit, when
Unexpectedly spoken to, of pricking up
his ears in so decisive manner as to
remind one of the ears of Puss or of
Tray when suddenly called. Marie
Louise, the second wife of the great Ma
poleon, was in the habit of amusing the
ladies of her court at their private sol
rees by turning her ears almost COM
pletely round, and in a manner closing
them up. She did this by peculiar
motion of the jaw, and she is said to
have prided herself on the exploit not a
little.
A man 1 knew well wore an enor-
nous shock of raven hair, and would
allow himself to be lifted by the hair
from the ground by any one who was
strong enough to do it, and to be swung
to and fro like pendulum, or to be
dragged along the floor.
The faculty of sleeping at will was
one of the endowments of the first Ma
poleon, who, it is said, could sleep any
length of time, long or short, and awake
at the time, almost to a minute, he had
resolved upon.
Among the muscular movements not
common, I have noticed several in
stances of persons who could throw back
the four fingers of either hand until they
stood quite perpendicular to the back of
the hand and wrist. Other instances
have seen, though but few, of persons
who can project the lower joint of the
thumb almost into the hollow of the
palm. In neither of these cases is the
use or the ordinary symmetry of the
hand at all affected. Of left-handed
people we have all seen many, and they
abound among the working classes; but
of the artibandist, or both handed, that
is, of persons who could do every thing
with either hand, as we'll with one as
the other, 1 have known but one in the
whole course of my life. This was an
orphan boy who had had no parental
care, but had been left almost to him.
self from infancy. Quick, active, and
sharp-witted, he had taught himself
many things tolerably well, could draw
fairly, could play the fiddle and the
flute, and wrote admirably and with I'M
rivaled rapidity with either hand.
There are many persons who, from
causes they can never explain, have a
repugnance, almost amounting to hor-
ror in some cases, for certain animals.
The French General Junot, who was as
cool as cucumber amidst a storm of
bullets, and would face the lannon's
mouth unmoved, would take to his
heels at the sight of a live frog, and
would not recover his equanimity for
hours.
l have known a man who could not
touch mutton, however cooked, while
he would eat heartily of any other meat.
Some there are in whom the thought of
eating hare or rabbit excites loathing;
some who would starve rather than eat
shell-fsh of any kind and there are not
few to whom butter and cheeserare
denominations. Others are equally pre-
JUDGED against certain vegetables, but
why or wherefore they can never tell
you.-Leisure Hours.

reply to your Of the 9Th inst, ask
ing me to address the Democracy VI

waited 10 find time to come, That
proves to be impossible. Amongst

end of twenty years ] find myself
once more in line with tho Demo
cratic party, and in resuming my
post am in company with thous~
ands who have eo-oporatod with
the Republicans since tho COM
menecment Of the Civil War. No
Ohio Democrat who believed in the
example Of Stephen A. Douglas, or
who remembers the lessons Of David
Todd and John Brough, should
hesitate TO rally to the standard OF
Winfield 3. Hancock, Of Pennsyl-
vanin. There is nothing in tho
Republican party to attract the
disciples Of their great men. All
that inspires the leaders Of thnt
party now is hatred Of tho mon
born in the Democratic church,
and n savage resolve TO keep tho
South, forgiven by Lincoln, SUM
ner, Chase and Greeley, still in
humiliation. Tho War Democrats,
who made the Republican party
what it il, are not bound To a mis-
sion that means shame TO them
selves and cruelty TO 100000 of
their Southrcn fellow citizens. His
tory has no page moro dishonoring
as this new crusade Of modem Re
