Orders from manufacturers and drug.
gists have gone out in greater quantity
than ever this year for pure spruce
gum" The Maine forests is where the
best gum is procured, and the lumber
men can reap quite little harvest if
they car manage to get gum enough to
fill these very liberal offers. Gum
chewing has become so fashionable that
there is an unusual demand for it and it
is one that promises TO last. Reasons for
this are that gum chewers believe that
the chewing of the gum aids digestion and
also wiitens the teeth. The first reason
sets elderly gentlemen to chewing it, and
the latter makes the practice popular
with women. One firm has made a for
tune by making a candied chewing gum,
which is sold by druggists, tobacconists,
confCtionists and at elevated railroads.
The chewing gum habit has got away
beyond the school girl. and there's no
telling where it will stop at its present
ratc Of progress. Chicago Herald.

The tall copy man, the uncut copy
man and the wide margin man are about
the most cranky of the bibliomaniacs.
What they want nobody else would have.
They are "A trio of cranks of about the
same class. Every time book is pub
khed. the publisher prints few copies
which are longer than the regular edi-
ton. These the tall copy fiends seek.
They like to stand long book on a shelf
alongside the regular sized book and
gloat over the fact that they have diff
ferent kind of book from the common
buyer. If tall book of some rare eii-
ton falls into their hands. they go into
ecstacies of 10y and bend all efforts to
get a copy of the regular edition to stand
alongside this book of bastard size.
His brother in hobby. the wide margin
man, is contemplated by the book pub
Usher. who prints a half dozen books Of
arsedition with abnormal margins to .
page, and sells them for five times the
regular price Of the book. If the books
marketed oy publisher are already cut,
As the American publishers are accus-
toned to do. he saves a few copies with
the leaves uncut and sells them to the
uncut copy man. This one Is the worst
crank of ALL To him a book is only
valuable as long as the leaves remain un-
cut in the folio. He does not buy book
to read The standard authors mean
nothing 10 him. If he can get a copy Of
q first edition Of Scott or Dickens. which
no one has ever read, because the leaves
have never been cut, he values it higher
than all the books these noveliSts ever
wrote. His idea of a book is one in
which the pages shall be sealed from the
e.-Globe-Democrat.

A yiepuese Holiday.

The feast of st. Leopold, the patron
saint of Lower Austria, was kept as a
close holiday in Nieana. I'd there was a
total suspension of business. 1t is Gus
tomary on this day for the Viennese to
make excursions to klosterneuburg.
where they drink the white wine for
which that town and its famous monas-
terry are famed. The monastery boasts
an enormous barrel which contains a
fantastic number Of hogsheads. and the
fun Of the day consists for many persons
in climbing TO the top of this huge recep-
tacle by means of ladder, and drinking
the white wine ladled out through a tap
at the top. Trains Were running from
Franz Josef's station to kiosterneuburg
every quarter Of an hour, and over 1000
carriages and cabs travelled to the old
town by road. In the evening there was
grand and noisy return of roysterers.

SrARk, FLA, January &c. C. Miller, a
leading politician. was assassinated here
by some unknown parties who ambushed
him and poured a volley into him from
shot guns. With his dying breath he
charged Lewis and Dolph Ricardo with be-
ing the principals and Harvey Ricardo an
accessory to the murder but the Coroner :
jury took no notice Of his declarations and
returned a verdict of death from gunshot
wounds caused by unknown parties.
Last summer Miller tried to kill Captain
J. c. Ricardo. his brother-iu-law. alleging
that he had alienated his wife from him
bitter quarrel grew out OF this, and
threats OF violence have been freely mad,
by all the parties concerned. Miller wa.
under hail FOR his attempt TO kill, when
shot. Lewis and Dolph are sons OF J. C..
Ricardo, and Harvey is his brother. The
excitement over the shooting is very great
but no arrests have yet been made.

THE STRIKE At PHILADELPHIA.
The Work Of the Reading Proceeds with
Little or No Inconvenience.

PHILapEIrul,. PA. January 4s-The
strike has not materially interiered with
the business oi The Reading railroad at the
freight wharves. Work at those points is
going on AS usual. Large quantities OF
freight were moved to-day, and the work
went on without interruption. The men
were not intimida,ed by tire strikers. Some
Of the idle freight handlers congrcgated at
the street corners near the wharves, but did
not attempt To interfere with the men. The
SuperinteIdents and their assistants were
busily engaged in supervising the work,
and paid little attention 10 the strikers A
few policemen stood along at front street
between Noble and Willow, hut their ser
vices were not required, and indeed their
presence at that poin, had no bearing on
the strike.
At Noble street all the men were at work
to-day. The freight was handled without
trouble. and the men seemed TO he thor
Oughly familiar with the work. Nearly 10
men applied Tor work this morning, but the
freight agent could give places TO only a
few. The applications, however. were
placed on file.
The Willow street wharves presented q
busy scene to-day. The men were at work
and the business was going on AS If no
labor and Freight Agent Spare had to turn
away q large number of men. He had no
work for thein, because the places OF the
strikers had already been filled. The
officials in charge at Port Richmond enter
tain no fears oil trouble with the strikers,
and say work is running smoothly
as though no strike had taken place
During the afternoon General Manager
Mcleod received telegraphic information
from Superintendent Whiting. To the effect
that there is a considerable division Of
opinion among the miners, and that they
are lar from being unit in their dis
position TO obey the order to strike The
impression prevails that there will be more
mines in operation To- morrow than there
are to-day. The Railroad General Manager
says that he has more men NJ work on the
main line and branches to-day than yester-
day.
