EviIa og (Jbew,np Gum.

The Philadelphia Record has state
ment from an optican Of that city to the
effect that girls using chewing gum are
running their eyes /: I" If they are chronic
gum chewers they are heirs to all the IN
firmities that aff1ict the chronic whisky
drinkers. have three girls who were ad-
dicted to the habit, but broke them
from it after great deal of pursuas ion
and some trlfing punishm ent. The Old
est girl has evidences Of the habit,
though, and will carry them to her
grave"
"How are the eyes affectedf"
swell, the muscles Of the jaw connect
with the spine, and from the spine there
are little fibrous tissues running in all
directions. A number OF these extend to
the eye, and are called the optic nerves.
Now, If you will watch a person eating
you will notice palpitation OF the tenn
pies when the lower jaw moves up and
down in the process Of mastication. This
is caused by the working of the optic
nerves, which keep the inner part of the
eyes in motion and exercise the nerves
as much as is needed to keep them in
healthy condition. These nerves are
tender and sensitive to greater degree
than one would imagine. When they
are overworked they become shrunken
and enfeebled, and then the process OF
deterioration in the eyesight begins. Or
course the shrinking of the nerves draws
the eye back into the socket, and as 1t is
connected by slender threads Of tissue to
the pupil OF the eye, this also becomes
affected. The consequence is that the eye
becomes weak and loses its color, it be-
comes an unnatural-looking gray, end
the vision is so much impaired by it that
eyeglasses must be resorted to.
"One OF my girls uses glasses just be-
cause she chewed 80 much gum. Her
eyesight is practically ruined, and she
has crows. .teet wrinkles about the cor
ners, that were caused by the flesh of the
cheek being forced upward by the action
of the jaw. She is also troubled with in
digestion fro m the same cause. These
are all sympto ms exhibited by person
who DIR inks whiskey plentifully, and
hence the comparison. Parents ought to
take this matter In hand, and see If they
cannot rid their girls of the habit. It is
filthy one outside Of the terrible effect it
has upon the human system. If the par
ents will keep from their girls some Of
their little perquisities until they stop
chewing gum, they would soon give up
the hahit.v

---------- "DON'T DO ITr"

Sir John Macdonald, the Cana. dian premier, has been talking to a New York Sun reporter about the fisheries dispute. Sir John thinks there is likely to be no danger of further complications for at least eight months--.till the fishing sea- son, now closed, opens again. Dur. ing that interval he will await de. velopments in the United States, preserving, for the present, his frm hope that President Cleveland may be reelected. Says the Suns cor respondent:
 "Like most of the prominent Ca nadians he is actively interested and thoroughly well informed as to the political movements in the United States, l find that nearly all the public men here are a unit on one question, and that is deep desire that the Republican party should bs kept out of ofiice."
 In this respect, the Canadians- who want to cozen us and gain ad- vantage of our fishermen, are en- tirely agreed with the Englishmen who want to cozen us and gain advantage of our manufacturers and workmen. Both are seeking their own advantage at our cost.
 And both want to see the Repub- ican party defeated. Both long for Democratic victory with a longing like that of love sick maidens. If the American people are wise in their day and generation they will act this fall on the strategic princi- pie long since accepted by all great warriors: "When you find what your antagonist wants you to do, don't do it."
