RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

Sleep is Deaths younger brother,
and so like him l never dare trust him
without my prayers. Thomas
Br0W71
Men are atheistical because they
are first vicious; and question the
truth of Christianity because they hate
the practice. South
Teach boys and girls the actual
facts of life as soon as they are old
enough to understand them, and give
them the sense of responsibility with
out saddening them.
The presence of eighty-three stu
dents in electrical engineering at Cor
nell University is an indication of the
rapid growth of the interest in the APP
plication of electricity to engineering
problems.
1t may be too late, quite too late,
to set right mischief once done, to avert
consequences, to stop the working of the
evil that we have set in motion. But
it is not too late. it is never too late,
to come back to God.
General s. d. Lee, the president OF
the Mississippi Agricultural and Me.
chanical College, at Starkvillc, says
that fifty-six per cent. of all the grad
yates of that institution, up to date,
have become tillers of the soil.
I say when person becomes a
Christian that he loses nothing that he
should not be afraid to keep. If ever
you are going to be Christian, don't
set out to be gloomy-eyed, twilight.
faced, bat-like Christian. -Beecher.
Morality apart from religion is but
another name for decency in sin. 1t
is jest that negative species of virtue
which consists in not doing what is
scandalously depraved and wicked.
But there is no heart of holy principle
in it, any moro than there is in grosser
ns.-Horace Bushnell
TO Il mind which justly estimates
the weight of eternal things, it will ap-
pea: a greater honor to have converted
q sinner from the error of his ways,
than to have welded the thunder of
Dtmosthenes, or to have kindled the
flame of Cic ,ro-Robert Hall.
The doctr ne of Christianity is
most adverse to all tyranny and OF
preston, but highly favorable to the
interests of good government among
men, and in this way its genuine
altruism is only the noblest kind of CO.
operation for the general good; and
this is automatic government.
To lie in the lap of pleasure may
be the highest enjoyment of which
feeble character is capable; but a strong
man must have something difficult to
do; and the strong Christian man has
to ''work out his salvation with fear
and trembling" to mortify the body,
lest being over-indulged, it should
learn to be the master instead of ser.
want of the soul. Prof. BIackie.
Good temper is an essential factor
in success in almost any department OF
life. A superintendent who loses his
temper in his school becomes himself
at once the worst element of disorder
in the confusion which he is trying to
reduce. And a teacher who grows |
cross when his class is disposed to be
unruly has lost his last chance to con-
troll the turbulence. Wes minister

Boston recently received from
Africa the largest gorilla ever landed
in this country. His name is Jack,
and he is five feet in height when
standing erect and measures seven
feet from the end of one outstretched
hand to the other. He weighs about
125 pounds. and exhibits enormous
strength, compared with which that
of man seems like q child's. He
arrived in large box made of plank
ing two and half inches thick, and
when being removed from the ship he
tore large splinters from the hard
wood planks with as much ease as a
child would break twig.

GUM FOR CHEWERS.
How the Raw Material Is Transformed
Into the Tablets of Commerce.

| How the Raw Material Is Transformed
Into the Tablets of Commerce.
Chicago has chewing-gum factory,
place where ton upon ton of the eter-
nal stuff is made. There are two depart
ments. the laboratory and the packing.
In the laboratory the men are at work
chopping up the gum by means of a
pug-mill, and rejecting the leaves,
bark and other foreign substances that
find their way into the gum, owing to
the carelessness of the shippers.
The gum, crude, that is principally
used is chickel gum. an emulation
from Mexican tree obtained by freely
messing the bark and catching the flow
in cans. This is allowed to harden,
which it readily does on atmospheric
exposure; is then nodded in cubes
weighing about ten or fifteen pounds
each and packed in sacks. Each sack
of gum as it is shipped weighs two hum
dred pounds. On arriving at the fac
tory the gum is Clipped, ground small,
washed and then placed on large trays
to dry, being combed over several
times a day to permit all the moisture
consequent on the washing to evapor.
ate.
It is now ready for boiling and is
placed in huge cauldron, heat applied
and the mass grows visibly thick. When
the consistency Of the mass is perfect,
pulverized sugar is added, equal guam
titles of gum and sugar being requir-
ed. The whole is stirred with large
wooden spatula and the mixture allow
ed to cool. At the time when the heat
is least, but not before it is quite cold,
the favoring matter is thrown in-pep-
permint, anise-seed, fruit juice, man
ma, or whatever it may be-and the
whole thoroughly incorporated.
1t is then removed to the table, work
ed by hand until the air bubbles are ex-
PEELED, run through heavy iron rollers
until it looks like SO much leather on
saddler's counter, busted with pow
dered magnesia to prevent adhesion to
the trays, and cut in longitudinal OF
square pieces by a little cutter for that
purpose. It is not cut through, only
an indentation being made that is east
ly made fracture Now comes a fur
Their hardening process by exposure
lasting usually day or so, and it is
then ready to 60 up stairs to the pack
ers.
In the packing department, sitting
around half a dozen tables, are twenty
or thirty girls, nimble of fingers and
dexterous to degree, employed in
wrapping. The pieces or tablets are
brought to them by boy, who, when
not engaged in supplying their needs,
is found completing the symmetry of
the packages by tying and finishing
of.
The tablets are put up in lots of half
a dozen and held secure by small
rubber band. The chips, or broken
pieces, are gathered in small barrels
and returned to the laboratory beneath
to be MIXED again with the fresh
rs it is melted.
The tree from which the chickel gum
IS obtained is of about the same pro-
portion as an oak tree. Its emulation
IS purely vegetable product, and is
IN no wise deleterious. In certain
parts OF Mexico the natives..cultivate
he trees with great care, rs in large
measure they derive livelihood from

Republican Caucus.

We print to day the call of the
City Committee for the caucus, which
is to elect delegates to the coming
County Convention at Corunna In
the primaries is ever determined the
result of the conventions. Here is
fought out the battle which makes
and unmakes Senators and Governors
as we'll as our local officers; by the
action of the primary of the various
parties is determined the policy Of
the government and state; as so much
is dependent on these caucuses and
as their action is so far reaching, the
legislature at its last session passed a
law, which is intended to regulate the
methods of holding caucus and it
makes it misdeneanor for anyone
to participate in the primary of any
party with which he does not affiliate.
AS Owosso has four candidates who
are seeking the nomination on the
Republican ticket, the caucus will
unquestionably be largely attended,
Since all desire as many of their
friends on the delegation as possible.
This is as it should be and no one
can justly find any fault with the re-
suit provided it shall be a caucus of
Republicans, who will vote the ticket
in November. But in their zeal, the
candidates should not call upon their
friends in the other parties to help
them in REPUBLICAN CAUCAs.
"Fair play is jewel" and we believe
no man can afford to 60 before the
people with a nomination unfairly
won. Again, we say to Republicans,
attend the caucus, help your friends,
but insist upon FAIR caucus.
