Gum-chewing is contagious. One of
the Grand Union bellies learned from
lady friend that it would prove bene-
fetal to the lungs. Imagining that her
lungs needed strengthening, the belle
made a purchase of chewing gum, and
set her jaws in motion. The craze soon
spread, and it is reported that over two
hundred ladies at the Union are en-
oaoed in chewing gum.

a Trip to La Crosse.

We boarded the Wis. Valley train
on Saturday evening last, and put
ourselves in care of conductor She
nan for safe dellverance at Tomah,
and found ourselves in company with
our station agent Tom Nash, who was
on his way t Q Remington to spend tic
Sabbath with his family. We had a
very pleasant and interesting CONVEX
sation with Tom, in relation to the
interests of Grand Rapids and Cen
tralia, until we reached Remington,
where we parted. After leaving Tom
We were left in our own company,
knowing no other person on the train.
So we unused ourself in listening to
the musical sounds made by the en-

Think while you Read.

The Teachers Journal, in an article
on methods Of study, reminds the
student that the first essential to sue
cessfui study is the power of concen-
tration Of thought This power is
largely matter Of habit and caltiva-
ton. Read five pages of history in a
lack adaisical manner. Close the book
and write out all you can remember
Then compare your production with
the printed matter and you will be
able to judge Of your proficiency.
Read five pages more with fixed
attention and resolution to retain the
subject, and compare as before. You
will find a marked Improvement. If
your memory is treacherous read but
very little, and always write out the
subject. When you hear sermon or
address, hear it, and afterward reduce
it to writing. Read no novels, and do
not read aloud to please others unless
you care (nothing) for the article
yourself. A practiced reader can read
aloud for hours and carry on an
independent train Of thought all the
time. This ruins the faculty Of
study as well as the memory, Dismiss
all other subjects but the one in hand.
Let the ear be deaf to all sounds. and
the eye blind to all sights. Let the
sense Of touch sleep, and smell and
taste be as though they were not A
lesson learned in this state of mind
will stay with you, and will not need
to be "crammcd" again tie night

In our last issue we invited our
readers to ask themselves few ques-
tions in relation to the county seat
question which it seems struck to the
quick of the moral CD editor of the
Enterprise. In his usual way Of
evasion and dishonesty he attempts to
answer them but fails in every essen
tial. He only reflects his baseness of
heart and mind and shows his incapa-
city of being able to speak of public
question without burning his own
fingers. The county does need a
court house and Jail, and needs it bad.
There is not one hundred men in the
county who do not know this to be a
fact. But then, the editor of the
Enterprise is so well known In this
region for his utter worthlessness we
refrain from stirring him.

Value Of SaMdust.

We should hardly credit SO large
story from less reliable source than
the ~ " Lmberman, but we pre-
sumo the editor has the statistics at
hand to confirm his assertions:
''In New York there are about 500
vendors of sawdust, having a capital
Of 100000 invested, and doing a
business amounting to more than
$2,000,000 annually. Forty years
ago the mills were glad to have saw
dust carted away twenty five years
ago it could be bought for so cents Il
load, but the price has increased, aud
now it brings So so load at the mill
1t is used at the hotels, eating houses,
groceries, and other business places.
1t is wet and spread over floors in
order to make the sweeping cleaner
work. Plumbers use great deal
about pipes and buildings to deaden
walls and floors. Soda-water men and
packers of glass and small articles of
every kind use it, and dolls and some
living creatures are more or less stuff
ed with it. Yellow pine makes the
best sawdust, as it is the least dusty,
and has pungent, healthy smell.
But any white wood dust will do.
Black walnut sawdust will not sell and
is burned. "-ScientNc American.

cold Abe" is Dead

This old bird who has lived through
twenty Of the most remarkable years
in the history of this Grand Republic
who lived through the fire and she'll
of many hard fought battles. has
finally succombed to the Inevitable
laws of nature and gone whore we
must all sooner or later go,-the
grave. The Madison Democrat saws:
Saturday afternoon, about four o clock,
"Old Abe, " the war eagle died, after
sickness Of few days; and at that
hour word of the death of this famous
old bird was given into the executive
Office and to the other state depart
ments, when a number of officials,
including the governor, repaired to
the bird Is headquarters TO view the
remains.
There was sadness depicted upon
the countenances Of the cid soldiers
about tie capitol when they heard Of
the departure Of their old pet.
"Old Abe" was with the Eighth.
which was known as the Eagle Reg
iment.' This bird was taken from
the parent nest in Chippewa county,
in this state by an Indian, who dis
posed of it to gentleman of Eau
Claire county, from whom it was pur-
chased by the members Of G = Per
kins' company-Eau Claire Eagles
by whom it was presented to the
regiment while organizing in Camp
Randall, in this city, in 1861. 1t is
needless to say that it was instantly
adopted as the regimental pet, and
was christened "Old Abel" A perch
was prepared, and the royal bird was
borne with the regiment on all it's
marches, and into every battle in
which the gallant Eighth was engaged,
up to the muster out time Perched
on his standard above the he ads Of
the men, the bird has been more than
once the mark for rebel bullets, but
luckily he escaped unframed, with
the exception of the loss Of a few
feathers, shot away. 1t will be re-
membered that at the great fair in
Chicago, in 1865, cold Abe" was ex-
hibited and his photographs disposed
of, realizing the amount Of SIG, 000.
He was next exhibited at the Mil
waukee fair. But his grand display
was at Americas centennial in Phila-
delphia, in 1S76--there he remained
four months. The old bird has been
exhibited in all sorts Of fairs and ex-
positions, throughout the country,
netting to societies and organizations
thousands upon thousands of dollars.
We understand that it is the inten-
ton of the governor to have the old
bird stuffed and placed in the state
historical rooms.
