A Cure for DlaI-IIeadjng.

Superintendent Morton, of the Union
Railway Company, tells the following
story: "When L first took charge of the
road the drivers complained to me of a
certain lady who rode down and back
again every day without paying fare.
She would get aboard the car and hand
the driver q S20-bill to change. OF
course he could not change it, and
could not ask the lady to get off, so she
rode free every trip. 1 decided that
she was deliberately beating the COM
pany and determined to get even with
her. One morning 1 gave one of the
drivers on the line which passed the
lady's house $40 in nickels, and in
structed him to change the lady's bill.
She fell into the trap, and about 10
o'clock boarded the right car on her
way down town. She handed the driver
the S2O-bill and he promptly returned
her 400 nickels. She put her fare in
the box, but she was so angry she left
the car and did not ride again for
month. After that she always had
change when she boarded a car. 1t
would surprise you," continued Mr..
Morton, to know how many people,
especially ladies, beat the company out
of their fare in this way. They tender
q SO or $40 bill, knowing very we'll
that the driver cannot change it, and
in that way secure free ride. Dir

HawthOrne's Imagination,

1t may here be said that, in pecul.
lar and restricted domain of imagina-
ton, the great American novelist.
Nathaniel Hawthorne, has fairly out
matched all his English brethren. He
is the Jonathan Edwards of the imagin-
atve representation of life, as Thack-
cray is its Hume. He teaches with
vivid dstinctness the doctrine of "the
exceeding sinfulness of SIM" Scott
once said that there were depths in
human nature which it was unhealthy
to attempt to sound, and it is in at
tempting to sound these that Hawthorne
has exhibited his most marvellous gifts
of insight and characterization. In the
subtlety and accuracy, the penetration
and sureness, of his glance into the
morbid phenomena of the human soul;
in exhibiting the operation of the most
delicate laws uf attraction and repul-
sion which human nature can expert
ence; in the capacity to terrify his read
ers with the consciousness of latent
possibilities for evil, so that they shrink
from his pitiless exposure like guilty
things surprised" makes novelists
like Thackeray and Dickens appear
relatively superficial; but, rs Scott had
foretold, the representation is too
ghostly and CHASTITY to give that degree
of artistic pleasure which is the con-
dition of novelist's complete success
with the public.-Scri6ner'S Maga-
ziIle.

fur the Preachers wife has been grum-
blin' right smart of late to the
Deacon, because they don't get
enough sullery to keep EN- in vittles

"Most they do get is donations, an
the things donated is not accordin' to
their needs. Fur instants, she says
they could have got along a spell yet

she could use the piller-shams to make

would do to go round Amelia Alice's

st. Louis annually handles $3.50, 900
worth of chewing-gum, one-fourth of
the amount consumed in the United
States. Would you imagine that the
people of this country every year
chew 100000 worth of gum? Yet
it has become such an important factor
in trade circles, that it is now staple
in every druggists stock, and quoted
in pricelists. However, this habit
for it has reached that stage-is con-
fined to the Western States, most of
this immense sum of chewing-gum be-
ing consumed west of the Alleghenies.
The Westerner has become gum
chewer. The habit keeps five large
factories in existence for the manufac-
ture of standard brands, while there
are innumerable small makers. The
fashion in brands is always changing,
lii Q that in tobaccos. What may be
popular this season is apt to be re-
placed next year by more attractive
brand. In some localities one kind is
used almost exclusively, while neigh
boring place m ght not know the taste
of the brand The latest favorite is
breath-killer called the Yucatan. 1t is
seasoned with peppermint and serves
al the purposes of cloye, The men
are very fond of it. This leads me to
remark that men are the chief chewers
of gum. However much the giddy
girls have been ridiculed for chewing,
they are not half as persistent as the
male sex. | may say that the cigarette
smoker is not gum chewer. l do not
know why, but the two do not go to-
gether. The men who chew gum are
those III business. 1t is a sort of slb
stitute for tobacco, and for man to
keep his jaws working on an ounce of
gum while he is engaged in difficult
task is the best solace he can find.
The habit is spreading rapidly, as L
can tell by the amount of gum sold.
IS [ said, It. Louis is the chief gum
city in the country. Observe for your
self, and it will not require a very
careful notice to perceive the extent of
tho habit-you will see women chew .ng
in the street-cars and even in church !;
you will find men chewing gum while
walking along the streets and at work.
Why, go to a fashionable reception or
ball and you will see gum chewers at
work. Old people Chew it because
they believe it promotes digestion, and
young people because it is fascina-
ting habit. | heard of gum party
two weeks ago at which everyone was
expected to bring a different kind of
gum for general use. Every skating
and tobogganing party this winter
will supply itself with gum, and ele-
giant gum-cases will be given for pro-
gressve game prizes.-St. Louis
