GUN Chewing in Congress.

Gum chewing is becoming almost
as common among Congr essmen as il
is among High school girls. Scores of
members have acquired the habit since
it was introduced by a new Congress
man from the West. He started the
custom by inviting his colleagues out
to take some chewing gum. This was
a novel proceeding to the old-timers,
who were accustomed to get something
more exhilarating than chewing gum
when fellow-member offered to stand
treat, and they fell into it because of
the novelty. They spread it among
their friends, and the man who keep
a little stand linear the main entrance
to the House floor is doing thriving
business. 1t is no Uncommon thing to
see a member take four of his col.
leagues to this stand. buy FIVE sticks
of gum for five cents and distribut"
them around. Then the entire party
stand around chewing with as much
enthusiasm as the school girls. Some
of the Corgressmen are getting to be
as particular in their choice Of chewing
gum as IN the choice of their cigars.

Society proffers its highest honors and
rewards to its inventors and discoverers;
but, as matter of fact, what each in
ventor or discoverer is uneonsclously try
ing to do is to destroy property, and his
measure of success and reward is always
proportional to the degree to which he
effects such destruction. If tomorrow 1t
should be announced that some one had
so improved the machinery of cotton
manufacture that 10 per cent. more of
fiber could be spun and woven in given
time, with no greater dr a less expendi-
ture of labor and capital than heretofore,
all the existing machinery in all the cot
ton mills of the world, representing an in
vestment of millions upon millions of dol
lars, would be worth little more than so
much old iron, steel and copper; and the
man who should endeavor to resist that
change would in face of the fierce COM
petition of the world, soon find himself
bankrupt and without capital.
In short, all material progress Is effected
by displacement of capital equally with
that of labor; and nothing marks the rate
OF such progress more clearly than the
rapidity with which such displacements
occur, There Is, however, this difference
between the two factors involved. Labor
displaced, as a condition of progress, will
be eventually absorbed in other occupa-
tons; but capital displaced, in the sense
of substituting the new for what is old, is
practically destroyed.--Hon. David A.
Wells in Popular Science Monthly.

Consequence. Of Intermarr,are.

"DO consanguineous marriages neces-
sarily lead to diseases in the offspringf' is
question which has been argued pro and
con for great many years. Alfred Henry
Huth has furnished very carefully con.
sidered answer in the negative in his work
entitled 1.-THE Marriage of Near Kin"
london: Longmans, 1887. Mr.. Huth
examines, in the light of all the known
facts, first: Whether consanguineous
marriages are themselves, by the mere
fact of consanguinity and irrespective of
any inheritance, injurious to the Off
spring; whether in marriage between
two relatives who are both perfectly
healthy, who live under healthy condi-
tions, and whose families are perfectly
healthy, the children born will probably
be unhealthy. And, second: Whether
consanguineous marriages give a greater
proportion Of unhealthy children than
non-consanguineous marriages. or, in
other words, whether it is fact that con-
sanguineous marriages, through intensi
fication of a previously dormant heredi-
tary family faint, give a greater propor-
ton of unhealthy children. His conclu-
sion, substantially, is that providing both
parents are healthy, no harm need be ex-
pected to result to the children of such
marriages; while If both parents exhibit
proclivity to any particular form of dis
ease las, for example, scrofula), the ten
dency is likely to be exaggerated in the
children, This accords with the prac-
tical, everyday experience of the stock
raiser and horse breeder. Chicago Her

A aor Hermit
A cmfp VINO LIVES ALONE AMONG THE
GEORGIA MOUNTAINS.


The mysterious appearance of a
child in the cliffs around Mount Alto,
about six miles down the Coosa rivet,
near the Rixey farm, is creating cbn-
siderable excitement in that neighbor-
hood One day last week Crew Price
took q hurt over the mountain ranges
adjacent to the farm on which he re-
sides. After he had been hunting some
time he heard his dog barking at q
lively rate on the opposite side OF noun
taip on which he was walking. As he
got nearer the dog, he thought, had
bayed some large animal and was
afraid to attack 1t. But the astonish-
ment of the hunter can be better imag-
ined than described when be discov-
cred that the dog had at bay small
boy on cliff Of rock just above.
The boy was apparently about 10
years old, and rather small for his age.
His clothes we're ragged and torn and
the bottom part of his breeohes were
frayed into shreds around his ankles,
He wore no hat nor coat, and HE once
white shirt was dirty and split in the
back and front. His sleeves we're almost
torn into rihbins, leaving his arms ex-
posed. When Mr.. Price began talking
TO him the little fellow began crying
and would not answer the question
asked as to who he was or where he
lived
The child soon began climbing the
rocks and disappeared in the direction
of Cedar Cliffs. As soon as possible
Mr.. Price tried TO ascend the precipi
tous side of the mountain to follow the
boy. The hound tracked the child for
some distance, but could not follow the
trail alter reaching Cedar Cliffs. The
search was continued for some time,
but never a vestige of trace could be
found, from which it seems that the
boy was well acquainted with his
haunts. Mr.. Price lives on the Rixey
farm, but neither himself nor any Other
man in the neighborhood, who are
accustomed to hunt squirrels and tur
keys on the range of mountains, has
ever seen or known of the child. Moth
ing more has been heard or seen of the
lost boy since Mr.. Prices discovery.
There is talk of organizing party of
those living in the npighborhood to
look for the boy and find out where he
is and how be was lost.-Ronae Trio

An Odd Railroad.
1T IS ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY MILES
LONG AND TWO FEET WIDE.

The Bridgeton and Ssco Railroad, in
Maine, is a two.foot gauge. 1t was
constructed in 1882 when materials for
railroad building we're very dear. The
exact length Of the road is 1910
miles, indep udent Of sid'ngs. The cost
of construction was Sl69,395; equip
ment, S26,473; total cost, $l95,S6a.
The same kind of steel rails can now
be bought from 80 to 35 per cent. less,
and other materials are cheaper, 80 that
what then cost about $1,000 per mile
to construct could now be done for
800. The rails are of STEEL. The en-
gines weigh 26,000 pounds, have driv-
ing wheels 80 inches in diameter. The
passenger uars arr 4S by 81 feet; each
seats thirty passengers-one person TO

in New England contends that the time
is not far distant when the two-foot
road will be adopted throughout the
country. Not to take the place of
trunk lines, by any means, but in
sparsely settled regions where they
cannot afford a three foot or standard
gauge, but where thev are able to build
and maintain a smaller one which Is

it. This especially where short "feed'
