Petroleum Chewing Gum.

Ibid you know that nearly three
quarters of the chewing gum that tires
the jaws of the rising generation in the
United States is now made from petro-
| leum?' said manufacturing confec-
toner to Sun reporter the other
day.
The reporter did not know it.
"Oh, yes" said the confectionery
petroleum first knocked the spots off
| of the whale oil business of New En-
gland, and now it is clipping into its
spruce and tamarack gum industry at
fearful rate. Here's a lump of petro-
leum we have just received" The con-
fectioner slapped his hand on large
oblong block that resembled a piece of
marble. ga few days ago. said he,
''that came out of the ground in Penn
sylvania, dirty, greenish brown fluid,
with a smell that could knock an OK
down. The oil refiners took it and put
it through lot of chemical processes
that l don't know anything about, and
after taking out a large percentage of
kerosene, a good share of naphtha,
considerable benzine, cart load or so
of tar, and number of other things
with names longer than the alphabet,
left us this mass of nice clean wax.
There isn't any taste to it, and no
more smell than there is to china
plate.
1--WE will take this lump, cut it up,
and melt it in boilers. This piece will
weigh 200 pounds. We add thirty
pounds of cheap sugar to it, and flavor
it with vanilla, winter-green, pepper
mint, or any other essential oil. Then
we turn it out on a marble table and
cut it into all sorts of shapes with dies
After it is wrapped in oil tissue paper
and packed in boxes it is ready for the
market. You can imagine that some
body is chewing gum in this country
when | tell YOU tnat lump like this
one will make TO-, 900 penny cakes, and
we use one up every week. There are
dozens of manufacturers using almost
as much of the wax as we do.
Il believe this petroleum chewing
gum, if honestly made, is perfectly
harmless, and that is more than can be
said of some of the gums made from
the juices of trees, especially the i'm
ported article"

Fer Golden Frizzes.

1t was their honeymoon. Even the
blind man that sat in the seat behind
them could tell that. And the deaf
woman that sat on the opposite seat
was equally able to understand it.
They had boarded the train at Oshkosh,
and were journeying north. Her bridal
bonnet was in the rack, and her head
nestled in drowsv confidence on his
left shoulder. He lovingly toyed with
the golden frizzes that dropped with
artistic grace upon her alabaster brow
IKE handful of hair on a newly plas-
tered wall. This evidence of endear-
me n was delightful, and she twirled
the end of his blonde mustache in token
OF reciprocity Of soulful affection.
"Ah! George she sighed.
What is it darling?n he tenderlv in
quired.
Il was thinking if anything should
ever occur to mar the felicity we are
now experiencing how awfullv dread
full it would be. =" And she nestled her
head closer down, under his chin, and
circled her left arm around the ripht
side of his neck.
Nothing of the kind will happen.
darling. Nothing of the kind could
happen, dearest. Danish such dismal
forebodings from your mind, love"
And he continued to lovingly caress
her frizzes.
Il know it seems so now. George:
but-No, | won't entertain the horrid
thought"
mo, darling. don't entertain any
disagreeable thoughts, at all. Think
only of bliss, now and forever And
he toyed more vigorously with her
frizzes.
And you'll never be cross to me, or
say horrid, unkind words to me, will
you. George?"
No, dearest, nev-O, the devil and
devastationr'
And George jumped to his feet with
the agility of circus tumbler from
spring board; his darling's head caress-
ed the back of the seat in front of them,
and a half section of golden frizz alight-
ed on top of the stove and began to
sizzle.
George was strata of
melancholy in the tones of her voice
George, you surprise me-"
Yes, and you've surprised me, too.
Look at thatr' And he held. before
her brace of bloody, lacerated fingers.
30, George, dear! how did you do
it?" And an aspect of terror over
spread her lovely cOuntenance
''How dye suppose | doneit?" Maybe
you think | chawed 'em with my teeth,
just for fun. Maybe you think / jam
med them in the door Maybe YOU
don't know that it come from foolin'
with an Internal combination of pins,
steel wires and sccond-handeo red
hair!"
And while he proceeded to bandage
the damaged digits with his darling's
lace handkerchief, she laid her head
YEARLY on the window sill and sobbed
And the blind man who had heard the
fun but hadn't seen it, and the deaf
woman who had seen the fun but hadn't
heard it, and the generality of the pas
sengers in the immediate vicinity
smiled audibly; and the brakeman lift
ed the sizzling frizzes from the stove on
the end of a stick, threw them out of
the door, and yelled Fort Howard. -

Avoid Slang,

Yes, there is no doubt about it; the
use of slang is greatly to be deprecated.
1t is utterly without warrant. If you
speak plain English, people will catch
on to your meaning-be pardon, will
understand you-just as readily, and
your chin-music- is to say, your
conversation-will be far more toney-
beg pardon again-elegant. 1t is now
declared, by the way, that the phrase,
st goes without saying" is slang;
therefore no self-respecting person will
use it hereafter. This goes without s
there we 60 again! Slang is horrid;
but it is 50 convenient, especially when
you don't know how to express your
thoughts, OF when you have no thoughts
to express. Boston transcript.
