A Great Year for Chewing Gum.
New York SUM-

This is great gum year in Maine,
especially on the Penobscot, and now
that the sun is climbing up into the
north little and the lumbermen are
coming out, the air is fairly redolent
with the perfume of spruce. The logs,
knees. and bark are not the only valu-
able parts of the great timber tree, for
the gum is worth considerable, even In
its rough state. Just as 1t is hacked from
the crotches OF old trees. There are two
or three firms here which buy large
quantities of it from the lumbermen
and gum hunters for the purpose of re-
timing it, as they say. But as a general
thing the refining consists in adultera-
ton with rOSln.
They throw it into q big kettle, bark
and all, and boil it TO about the con-
sistency Of thick molasses, skimming
the impurities oil as they rise to the
surface. Then, If the purpose DO to
adulterate, some lard or grease and a
lot of roSin is added and in some cases
a little sugar. The mixture then be-
comes thicker, and, after more stirring,
is poured out Oh a slab, where, while 1t
is yet hot, it is rolled out in sheet
about quarter of an inch thick, and
then chopped with a steel die into
pieces half an inch wide and three
quarters Of an inch long. These pieces
are wrapped in tissue paper and packed
in wooden boxes. There are 700 pieces
IN a hoX. Some gum is treated in this
way without adulteration.
The hest gum comes from no particu-
lar locality, but always from tho big
gest trees The doctors up here say
chewing gum benefits the teeth. The
lOggerS, IN their many idle hours by the
camp fire, white out miniature bar
rels 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.
Others, who 60 into the woods for gum
alone, bring down big bags Of gum, and
sell it to manufacturers of the improved
article. Up there adulterated gum is
called patent gum.

entering the planting season and if all

what profit will there be to US in raising
cotton? Foreign wars generally enhance
the price of cur bread stufs, prov lsions,

cotton, and for this reason our farmers
should consider we'll what they plant and

From ne NesO York Herald.
BIRMINGHAM, Nov. IA man named
John Sturgess was yesterday charged
before magistrate here with burglary.
His story is as romantic as that Of the
hero Of the novel ePaved with Gold" who
was gentleman housebreaker. Sturgess
was arrested at midnight in a house at
BrOmwich, a suburb of this city. A
wedding had just taken place IN the house.
The bridegroom was aroused from bis
sleep and found Sturgess making OFF with
the wedding presents. The burglar at
tempted to use his pistol, but be releuted
from his purpose on seeing the bride.
The police Yesterday morning searched
his c0ttGqe 0rne at Aston, another suburb,
where the middle-aged burglar lived what
appeared TO be q most respectable life.
His son and daughter, who were ignorant
of his nocturnal habits, are both we'll en-
plOyed in this city. Search discovered in
ingenious hiding places what the police
return describes as an enormous quantity
of new plated and silver goods, jewelry
and knick-knacks.
A STEADY cHURCH-GoER.
The burglar was noted for the assidu-
GUS manner In which he attended the
churches and chapels here on Sundays
and for the apparently steady life which
he led. IL now appears that the burglary
of houses where weddings mad taken
place was his speciality, and that he stole
the wedding presents when the inmates
were off their guard. His love for attend.
ing church turns out to have been caused
by his desire to hear the banns published,
so that he might get the earliest informa-
tlon on weddings, and also 70 lull any
suspicion that might arise about his
habits.
Much OF the property discovered has
been claimed, and there is proof enough
against the burglar TO send him into penal
servitude for the rest Of HIS natural life.
His family and neIghbors were utterly
astounded, for bis religious observancies
had frequently served AZ cloak for con-
cealing crimes which varied in their
shadee Of deuraVity.
