Cot No Booty.

The residence OF SIR. L. Reehel, the
music teacher on Howard street, Second
Ward, was visited 10y burglars last
night. Though nothing has as yet been
discovered as missing from the house.
The burglars were probably frightened
of before their booty had been secured,
A paint pot was placed under the sash
of the French window IN the front of the
house. This being the only window
that was moi securely bolted from the in
side. In this window Mrs. Rechel had
set all her flowers in pots. These were
carefully removed and SET outside in the
yard. The burglar entered the house
evidently, but could probably not stay
long enough to search the house.

Taxing a Name in Vain.

Some years ago the late T. S. Arth-
ur published novel, the scene of
which was laid in Washington. 1t
pictured the downfall of a talented
young man who had gone to the bad
through his foudness for drink. The
author then proceeded with great exact
ness to picture the fascinating hostess
"a lady prominent in the social circles
Of the capital city-at whose winetable
the young man first developed his al
coholic appetite. He called this lady
Mrs Logan and described her as the
wife of gallant Union officer. When the
matter was brought to General Logan's
attention he addressed sharp note to
Mr.. Arthur, asking how he dared to
take such liberties with a ladys name,
and assuring him that his wife was a
teetotaler of the most advanced type.
Mr.. Arthur answered that he was a
very prolific writer, and left even the
correction of the proof to his publisher.
He explained that he had hunted up
the original manuscript of the story,
and found that tue lady to whom refer
ence was made was dubbed Lagoon"
The name was purely imaginary. The
typos, thinking the proper reading of
the word was Logan, and so printed it
through the entire work Mr.. Arthur
offered to make any reparation within
his power, but, as it was too late to
undo the harm, the matter was drop

1t seems to exert curative influ-
ence upon many Of the chronic diseas-
es that influence and disturb the proper
assimilation Of food. Some of these
are important factors in the develop
ment of nervous arrangements.
1t appears that the curative infiu-
ence Of hot water is not usually tran
sient. In many cases the symptoms
have shown no tendency TO return
when once checked by its use, provid-
ed the patients indiscretions do not
lead to relapse.
1t may be employed as an adjunct to
all recognized methods of treatment,
without detriment to the patient.
1t exerts a marked influence upon
disturbances of the nerves.
In diabetes and in some kidney de-
rangements its action as diuretic is
quite remarkable in some cases.
As a laxative, hot water has a
slow but decided action. 1t seems to
be a Unsuitable deduction that the
functions of the accessory organs of d.
gestion are made active by its use and
brought to standard of health.
The skin is stimulated by the use of
this agent, and the cutaneous circula-
ton is apparently rendered more uni
form.
From few experiences made with
reference to the effect of this agent as
a preventative of seasickness, it should
be employed for from four to six
weeks preceding an ocean voyage, in
accordance with the rules given above.

A Dog that Feigned Death.

a troop of soldiers under the COM
mand of the Neapolitan Government
was marching at night toward little
wood, which was supposed to be the
lurking place of a horde of banditti.
When the soldiers had almost reached
the wood they saw little dog, that
had been lying down and keeping
watch, rise and begin to bark at the
top of his voice. The soldiers follow
ed him, thinking that he would give
the alarm; and, Indeed, when they had
reached the middle of the wood, they
found that the brigands had fed. The
officer in command, in his anger, shot
the dog that had just made him lose
his prey. The animal howled fearful
ly, and fell, to all appearances, dead.
The soldiers went on their way, but
in few minutes saw the very dog
that had just been "killed' stealing be-
hind the trees, tacking like a ship, and
intently watching the direction which
they had taken. They ran after him
and caught him, and found that he had
not been in the least hurt. His in
stinct had taught him to feign death
that he might be able to keep at his
sentinel's post. His remarkable intel
ligence and cunning air won the love
of the soldiers, who adopted him and
trained him to hunt the banditti for
whom he had been so faithful a watch

How Chewing Gum is Made Out of Crude
Petroleum.

"There's car load of solid com.
fort for the young ladies' said gen.
tleman in Lawrenceville to reporter
of Pittsburg morning paper, pointing
to car standing on the Allegheney
Valley railroad. "Now there's twenty.
tive-barrels of chewing gum there" he
continued. You may not know it, but
it is a fact that nearly all of the chew
ing gum consumed ia the United
States and Vassar College comes from
Pittsburg"
"Of what is this maidenly solace
composed ?" asked the newspaper
man.
"Why, its made from tar, and the
worst of Tar. The Standard Oil Com
pany is big thing on wheels when
you get talking about oil, but it is just
as big relatively speaking when you
get into the province of chewing gum.
You see they control nearly all the re.
tineries, and it is from them that the
gum Is evolved, so to speak. The re-
tiners take the residum from the crude
oil after the refined article has been
made and work it in an agitator, pro-
ducing certain grade Of paraffine
substance. This is sent to two firms
located in Boston and New York, who
put it through another refining process
and then scent the stuff, cut it up into
small pieces, and the retail dealers take
hold of it and make thousands of giddy
girls happy with something to chaw.
The wax as loaded on the cars is worth
Il cents per pound, but when put
through the second refining process, its
cost is 80 cents pound ! suppose
pound of refined paraffine will sui
flee for the making of 500 pieces of
chewing gum; so the profit in the bust
ness is apparent when you recollect
that it retails for l and 2 cents
stick"
"How much of the wax is shipped
from Pittsburg weekly e. asked the re-
porter.
"Well, about fifty barrels per week.
Some of it is used for finishing up IN.
sulated telegraph and telephone wires,
some for making fancy candles; but
the best grades are used for making
chewing gum. In fact, it can be safe
ly computed that twenty, five barrels of
this wax are weekly shipped from
Pittsburg to be worked up into chew
ing gum. 1t is not very attractive
looking substance when it has gone
through the first refining process, but
after it has been reagitated it comes
ont beautiful pearl-white in color and
is absolutely tasteless. The making of
paratfine is one of the green spots in the
desert of refining just now, considering
the condition of the oil trade. 1t is
only within the past few years that the
secondary refining process has been ac-
complished in this country. The wax
was sent to Scotland then shipped
back to this country. The two firms
mentioned in New York and Boston
are now making a good thing out of
the business.

A story has just come to light In

with the opening of Georgia marble
quarry took them there. They have
