1T is not very pleasant to be assured
as we are in the most solemn manner
by Saratoga correspondent, that Mr..
Drexel, the New York banker, offered
his Mt. McGregor cottage to General
Grant simply as speculation. Mr..
Drexel, it is stated, owns the railroad
up the mountain, the hotels on the
summit, and a good deal of other
property in the neighborhood, and
was quite confident that by taking the
old hero up there to die he could make
a good thing for himself. 1t is further
asserted that as soon as his earnest in
vitation had been accepted by the
Grant family he ordered the rates on
his railroad and at his hotels doubled
up, in anticipation of the crowds
which the advertisement would be
sure to draw there. No one has evel
supposed that New York capitalist
carried about with him very large or
tender heart, but one might have
though on such an occasion that a
little of his cold-blooded avarice
would have been thawed out by a
kindly emotion.

TRICYCLING is good thing for city
women, in the opinion of the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. 1t serves to bring
rural nature nearer their vision,
health to the doors of their lungs,
and pleasurable work, called exer-
else by courtesy, to their hands.
But the tricycle. has some side advant-
ages that recommend 1t to all who
wish women well. suspect the ma.
jority are men. Women still dress
abominally. They cannot, as a whole,
do less in any other costume. But
they dress unhealthIly, unseasonably,
and uncomfortably. A tricycle-riding
woman must turn her attention to
dress reform. The present vOlumin-
Gus skirts will strike her as cumberous
and "in the way" she must wear SEN
sible underclothing, and corsets must
be discarded. Here are three small re-
forms which, If universally instituted,
would reduce the death rate ten per
thousand among women.

This is q great gum year in Maine, es-
pecially ON the Penobscot, says a letter
from Bangor, Me-, and now that the sun
is climbing up into the north a little and
the lumbermen are coming ont, the air
is fairly redolent with the perfume of
spruce. The logs, knees and bark are
not the only valuable parts of the great
timber tree, for the gum is worth con-
siderable, even in its rough state, just as
Il is hacked from the crOtches of old
trees. There are two or three firms here
which buy large quantities of 1t FROM the
lumbermen and gum hunters for the
purpose of refining it, as they say. But
as a general thing the refining consists
in adnlteration with rosin. They throw
it into a big kettle, bark and all, and
boil it to about the consistency OF thick
molasses, skimming the impurities off as
they rise to the surface. Then, If the
purpose be to adulterate, some lard or
grease and q lot of rOsin is added, and in
some cases a little sugar. The mixture
then becomes thicker and, after more
stirring, is poured out on a slab, where,
while it is yet hot, it is rolled out in
BueeL ADQuE u VI al 4uIAA tAAANAAf
and then is chopped with steel die into
pieces half an inch wide and three quar-
ters Of an inch long. These pieces are
wrapped in tissue paper and packed in
wooden boxes. There are 200 pieces in
q box. Some gum is treated in this way
without adulteratiOn.
The best gum comes from no partieu-
lar locality but always from the biggest
trees. The doctors up here say chew
ing gum benefits the teeth. The loggers,
in their many idle hours by the camp
fire. whittle out miniature barrels from
blocks of cedar or white pine. hollow
them out and fill them with the choicest
gum the woods afford for gifts to their
sweethearts, children or friends when
they ''come down" in the spring. 9th
ers, who 90 into the woods for gum
alone, bring down big bags of gum and
sell it to manufacturers Of the improved
article. Up here adulterated gum is
called patent gum.

How Technical Terms secured an Unwill-
ing Soldiers Discharge.
A little war story is told by the Scout
and Mail as follows: In the spring Of
1864 the frontier division of the Seventh
Army Corps, General John NJ. Thayer
commanding, was encamped at Fort
Smith, Ark. Communication being
most entirely cut off, supplies were low
and the army did considerable in the
foraging line. On one of these expedi-
tions a clerk at the department head
quarters, Wiley Rritton, who was a very
fine writer and apt scholar, went out
with a party of scouts south of the
Poteau, a stream that empties into the
Arkansas just above Fort Smith. They
ran a company of Texas Rangers, and in
a sl1irmish with them he got shot
through the left wrist. Retreating he
reached Fort Smith and was laid up for
some DAYS before his wound healed and
he was fit for duty again. He then got
it into his head that fighting was not
particularly his forte, and, since his
wound, neither was writing, and he de-
sired to get back to his old home in Mis-
sonri. He went to General Thayer and
asked for a discharge, but the General,
thinking he was too valuable a man to
let off for so slight a wound, refused to
let him go, saying he did not well see
how he could dispense with so valuable
and apt a cleIk. Wiley knowing l had
some influence with the General, I be-
ing at the time on detached service at
headquarters, enlisted me in his service
to procure his discharge. l got out
set of papers and took them down to the
surgeon. He made him out a certificate
and strongly recommended his discharge,
couching the certificate in terms pecu-
culiar to surgical science. took the
certificate, got Britton's company Off
GERS to endorse it, and then went with
him to the headquarters to see General
Thayer. As we entered the room the
General, who was sitting by the table,
said to BrittOn: "You are still wanting
TO go home, are you2" He replied
afiirmatively. 1 then presented the GER
tificate. The General looked at it and
said: "Read it." l read: "This certi-
fes this soldier is truly entitled to a dis
charge. 1 certify it on examination,
after due consideration, a case of
necrosis Of the right radius of the fore
arm"
"What is that That beats my time"
said the General. eff 1 had thought,
young man, the half of that was the
matter with you, 1 would have let you
go before. Hand me my pen, so I can
write your discharge, quick. That is
the most singular name for shot through
the wrist I ever heard"

"Oh, father p cried Jack. "Do sell

"Shut up Sha'n't sell no mad dogr'

"You know he's not mad" I said,
boldly.

As Mr.. Jones said this, he gave sud
den push TO the dog, pushing him for
ward beneath the lower rail, and dog
and stone fell, splashing in the water,
the stone bearing the animal right down
out of sight
A shrill cry of heart break came from
Jack. I felt as if this were unendur-
able.
I had no time to think what should
do, or could do, before something else
happened.
Mr.. Jones reeled violently from the
exertion he had made, and in his effort
to steady himself, he lurched forward
heavily against the railing. The railing
was old, and, in this case. rotten. The
top bar gave way, and in the impetus
upon him, Mr.. Jones Immediately fol-
lowed Max, and the water closed over
him also.
There were two very white faces gaz-
ing down at the glittering, moonlighted
water.

had turned to run to the nearest house,
when a terrific shout from Jack made
me look back.
"Max Max He's got rid of the
stone I"
There was the shining, wet head above
water, and Max was blowing aud snort
ing. Jack danced up and down, Civ
ing shrill orders, while gripped tight
the fence, and felt that we could trust to
the dog. He would have no human de-
sire for revenge; he would have no i'm
pulse but to save the man who had the
moment before tried to kill him.

ders. He directly seized his master by
the arm and swan toward the shore.
Jack and dashed over a wall and ran
round to the sloping bank toward which
Max was going. We helped pull the
man ashore. He was not nearly so drunk
as he had been. 1t had all happened in
a moment.
"The knotmust a. slipped, spluttered
Mr.. Jones, as soon as he could speak.
"Rather lucky for you !" I said,
sharply. "Are you going to try it
again ?"
He slowly rose to his feet, and looked
about him.
"Gimme twenty-five dollars for the
dog" he said.

and get the money"

stood quietly near, his wet rope dangling
from his neck.

novels say, if a look could kill, Mr..

glanced at him.

visit Max the next day. The boy told
Max to go with me, and I walked home
leading the dog, aud feeling that had
never in my life been in better company.
Jack came often, and we were always
good friends. Between Max and me
there is the tenderest love. Now, as
write, he sits beside me; drop my

it. Yes, the very best of friends, he as
