overtiows with pointers touching the
duplicity and treachery of John Nc
Hugh, following up only his political
record, which is only u duplicate Of
his social and business record.
We presume the great mass OF men
of all parties recognize the right OF a
man to change his opinions respect
ing public measures; and, while they
may regret the change of opinion,
still respect the man because they be.
ieve his change is the result of con-
yictions. But when the man pro-
tesses an abiding attachment to a
part Y and its principles, and IL St.
cretly plotting against the men who
are associated with him politically,
solely to crafty his personal alnbi.
ton, he is utterly unworthy of trust
or confidence.
Hon. Johns record il an unsayory
one; those who know him best re.
spect him least. Instead Of relying
on his own integrity and merit to win
recognition for him, bis method has
been to tear down his co-workers,
whatever their field of labor. He
has undertaken to elevate himself on
q monument of skulls, but roll call is
likely to show him il glimpse of lively
corpses grinning at his discontinue.

Gum in Bed.

When l went east recently, on the
sleeper with me was an elderly gentleman
accompanied by q very pretty young lady.
The elderly gentleman asked her what
she was going to tell about her trip when
she got home, and her tongue ratified away
with TOW of language that was charm
ing and showed that she was educated
and observant. But alas! The light OF
the next morning blotted out the good
opinion ] had formed about her. As she
awoke heard her uncle ask her low she
slept and she said:
"Uncle, l stayed awake all night be-
cause l could not sleep and keep my gum
in my mouth as other girls do; so | laid
awake all night chewing it!'
Every male individual In the sleeper
was disguised with her and from that mo-
ment she was a changed girl in the
opinion Of all.
at Is getting to be quite a era for
girls 10 chew gum at night, and 1t Is q
most ruinous habit. They lose their rest,
tire their usually pretty jaws and wake
up in the morning peevish, cross-grained,
with sallow complexion, their digestive
organs impaired and their beauty and
vivacity gone!
1T is a fact that girls who make a
habit of chewing gum are sure 10 lose
their plumpness and pretty cheek, as 1t
develops the masseter muscles that move
the jaw, to the detriment of the fatty
substance that produces the plump cheeks.
But this is not all. 1t is sure to stretch
the mouth and spoil the graceful position
Of the lips, as well as toproduce wrinkles.
1t is certainly very disgusting; but 1
think 1t will soon play out, Ike the roller
skating craze.-Dr. X. W. Chllds in Pitts

How Thread is Numbered.

Every body knows the sizes of thread.
Every seamstress knows whether she wants
No. % or 80 or 100, and knows, when she
hears that number, about what size Is the
strand referred 70; but how the numbers
happen to be what they are, and just
what they mean, not one person in a
thousand knows. And yet IL Is simple
matter to explain, was tie information
accorded reporter by an employee of one

yarn weigh I 200 grains, pound of cotton,
the yam is No. /. II $50 yards weigh a
pound 1t will I've Nc. yarn. For No. so
yarn il would take fifty multiplied by $40
yards to weigh a pound. This is the
whole of the yarn measurement. The
early manufactured thread was three-cord-
and the thread took its number from the
number OF the yarn from which 1t was
made. No so yarn made No. 60 thread,
though IN point of fact the actual caliber
of No. 90 thread would equal No. 20 yarn,

When the sewing machine came into

reasoning In its work and memorable in
its demands for mechanical accuracy, six
cord cotton had to be made as a smoother
product. AS thread numbers were already
established, they were not altered for the
new article, and No. 60 six-,ord and No.
60 three-cord are identical in size as we'll
as in number. To effect this the six-cord
has TO be made of yarn twice as firm as
that demanded by the three cord. The

the same number as the yarn Is made OF.
SiX-cord spool cotton is double its number.
