CHEWING Did 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
petroleum." said a manufacturing confec-
ii oner 10 a reporter the other day.
The reporter did not know it.
"Oh, yes,' said the confectoner. "Pe-
troleum first knocked the spots off the
whal oil business of New England, and
now it is clipping into its spruce and tam
arack gum industry at a fearful rate.
Here's a lump of petroleum we have just
received" The coniectioner slapped
his hand on large oblong block that
resembled q piece Of marble. "a few
days ago. said he, that came out of the
ground in Pennsylvania, dirty, greenlsh-
brown fluid, with smell that could
knock an OK down. The oil reliners took
it, and put it through lot of chemical
processes that | don't know anything
about, and after taking out u large per-
centage of kerosene, a good share of naph-
tina, considerable benzine, II 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 to
it than there is to a china plate.
1--WE will take this lump, cut it up, and
melt it in boilers. This piece will weigh
POO pounds. We add 80 pounds of cheap
sugar to it, and flavor 1t with vanilla,
wintergreen, peppermint, or any pleasant
essential oil. Then we turn it out on a
marble table and cut it into all shapes
with dies.
After it is wrapped in oiled tissue paper
and packed in boxes it is ready for the
market. You can imagine that somebody
is chewing gum in this country when |
tell you that a lump like this one will
make 10000 penny cakes and we use one
up every week. There are dozens of
using almost as much of the
wax as we do.
II believe this petroleum chewing gum,
if honestly made, is perfectly harmless,
and that is more than can be said of some
of the the gums made from the juices of
trees, especially the imported article"

THE FIRST CAsTING.-C iron was
not in commercial use before the yeal
100, when Abraham Darby. an intelli
gent mechanic who had brought some
Dutch workmen to establish brass
foundry at Bristol, conceived the dea
that iron might be made and substituted
for brass This his wo:kmcn did not
succeed in etfecting, being probably toe
much prejudiced in favor of the metal
with which they were best acquainted, A
Welsh shepherd boy named John Thomas
had, some little time previous to this
been received by Abraham Darby into his
workshop on recommendation of distant
relative. Whilst looking on during the
experiments of the Dutch workman, he
said to Abraham Darby that he thought
he saw where they missed it. He begged
to be allowed to try; so he and Abraham
Darby remained in the workshop all
night struggling with the refractory
metal and imperfect molds. The hours
passed on and daylight appeared, but
neither would leave his task, and just as
morning dawned they succeeded in cast
ing an iron pot complete. The boy
entered into an agreement with Abraham
Darby TO serve him and keep the secret.
He was enticed by the offer Of double
wages to leave his master-but he contin-
ued faithful and from 1900 to 1928 the
family of Thomas were confidential and
much valued agents to the descendants of
Abraham Darby. For more than one
hundred years after the night in which
Thomas and his master succeeded in
making an iron casting in a mold of fine
sand contained in frames and with air
holes, the same process was practised and
kept secret at Colehrook Dale, with
plugged kevholcs and barred doors.

The other evening, in a town not far
from Cleveland, Ohio, the Literary and
Scientifce Circle recently organized there
was holding its regular meeting, and a
pale -browed, intellectual young man was
reading an exhaustive paper on the heath
en- divinities of Greece and Rome. Among
the audience was a hostler, who had some
how strayed in from his stable in search
of entertainment, who listened quietly
while the lives and characters of Jupiter,
Juno, Hercules, Aphrodite and other
worthless were being discussed. Finally
the biography of PhDbus came up, and a
we'll known chariot-driving feat of his was
described at some length in choice lam
guage by the pale browed, intellectual
Young man. The attendant hostler greeted
the account of this exploit with sarcastic
grunts, and finally got up and said {:
..Who is this yer man Feebisp l never

old-time gods the next time the circle
meets.

ABOUT Low PRICEs.-People past mid
die life will recall the fact that when they
were young money seemed TO be worth
more, thgt is, it would buy more of a
given article than it does to-day. In 1910
$4,000 was regarded as quite a compe-
tence, and an income ofa thousand dollars
| a year made the recipient a comparatively
wealthy person. Since then money has
cheapened. More of it is required to
purchase the sare amount OF goods,
| Indeed, this cheapening of money has
been going on since the middle ages.
Two English pence would buy sheep in
the reign of Henry VII, This was be-
cause there was So little gold and silver in
circulation throughout the then civilized
world; but all the discoveries and i'm
provements in banking have, to the great
advantage of mankind, tended to make
money cheaper. The Spanish conquest
of Central and South America poured
vast quantities of silver into the channels
of trade. Then, more recently. gold was
discovered in large quantities in Califor-
mia, Australia and elsewhere. Then the
bill of exchange and the institution of
national banks have added greatly to the
sum total of the currency of the CONNER
cial world, the general effect of which
has added to the prosperity of nations;
for debtors have been relieved by the
decrease in the actual value of money,
business of all kinds is stimulated when
prices are advancing, and then the leisure
class is forced TO go to work 10 keep up
their standard of living. But the recent
practical adoption of the commercial
nations of the gold unit of value, is tend
ing to make money more instead of less
valuable. All over the civilized world
there has been steady fall in prices for
ten years past. Every leading commodity
can be purchased to-day for less money,
that is, less gold, than it could IN 1873.
The fall in prices is merely apparent, the
real phenomenon is the increase in the
value of gold, which has been made the
ward stick to measure prices at time
when the yellow metal was getting scarce
that is to say, the gold mines of the
world are giving out. The coinage for
the last seven years has been double the
amount actually produced by the mines
Cotton and woolen goods in this country
are cheaper then they have been known
in our history, and everybody in trade is
beginning to realize that steady con-
traction in prices is going on. People
should be careful how they go into debt,
for as money grows dearer, that is, more
valuable, the debt practically becomes

BABY CRIED AND JACK CRIED. 1t has
been going on for year past. Jack is a
carrier for one of the dailies, and his
circuit takes in house on Scott street.
One day last spring baby crowed at him
from the open door on that street, and
Jack tossed an apple in the hall. The
next day the baby was watching for him,
and after three or four DAYS the boy made
bold to slip up the steps and pat the little
chap on the head and leave the stick of
candy he had purchased two miles away.
AS the time went on Jack came to know
that the baby was atherless, and that its
mother was pale faced and hardly able TO
drag about 1t was weeks before she
spoke to him, but the baby took to Jack
right away and was already for his com
ing After the first week it was always
clean faced, but it was a good while
before Jack reused up the courage to give
him kiss and ask for one in turn. After
that it was plain sailing, and the neighbors
became interested. 1t was queer enough
that boy like Jack, having his own way
to make and roughing it until he had
become suspicious and hard hearted,
should catch on to little whitehead baby,
and be more than big brother to him,
but that was what happened.
And something more. One day he
brought up quarter of a pound of tea and
left it where the mother would find it,
and this was followed by other parcels
and articles. One day he missed the
baby and crept into the hall TO find that
he had cried himself to sleep and that the
mother was sick and helpless. Jack
reused up the neighbors. and whatever
was eaten in that house for the the next
two weeks was purchased with Jack q
money. The mother could only thank
HIM and weep. She could not speak ten
words of English.
A fortnight ago Jack missed baby
again, and again he found the baby's
mother i'll. Friends were with her this
time and she did not suffer for care. A
week ago there was Grape on the door as
the carrier went his round, and baby had
been carried off by a neighbor. When
Jack came around next day, the mother
had been buried and people were watching
to tell him that the house was to be vacat
ed and baby was to 60 to distant city.
He had been brought back to bid the
carriage goodbye, and the poor and lowly
people drew off with tears in their eyes,
and Jack sat on the door steps and took
baby in his lap and smothered his white
head and kissed bis red cheeks. Baby
clung around his neck and seemed to
realize that he was to lose friend, and as
one who stood by expressed it:
Then baby cried and Jack cried, and
the women put their aprons up and
sobbed like children. When they finally
took the child away Jacks heart was big
enough to break. and throwing his arms
around the little chap for the last time he
turned and ran away and never looked
back w-Detrot Free Press.

SHOULDER LAMENEsS. Shoulder lame
ness of horses is not of nearly SO frequent
occurrence as is generally imagined; but
sometimes the difficulty in ascertaining
the real seat of lameness, when situated
in the foot, has occasioned many an igno-
rant smith to refer the complaint to the
shoulder; and the poor animal has in con-
sequence been doomed to undergo the
painful operations of blistering, firing and
roweling. 1t is of considerable impor-
tance, therefore, to be able to distinguish
sprains of the shoulders from other all
ments. Mistakes will seldom occur if at
tention be paid to the following symptoms /:
When a horse is lame in the shoulder he
drags his toe along the ground, from in
ability of the muscles of the shoulder to
lift the foot from the ground. If he lifts
his foot high, the shoulder can not be
much affected. On walking down hill, be
catches up the leg with considerable quick
ness. He will frequently stumble on go
ing up hill and will make shorter step
with the lame leg than with the other.
He goes equally lame on soft or hard
ground, which is not the case when the
lameness is in the foot. In shoulder lame.
ness there is no difference in the tempera-
ture of the two fore feet.-Brecder's Ga
zette, Chicago.
Good will, like good name, is got by
many actions and lost by one.-Franott
