Il is remarked that the number OF
business failures has been remarkably
small this month. The business OF the
country seems to be on a very solid basis
indeed and the prospects for a steady
and profitable trade this year are ex-
cellent. Notwithstanding that this is the
year Of the Presidential election we may
reasonably hope for great activity in
business in this country for 1888.

GUM BY THE TON.
A Wholesale Druggist Chats About tho
Extent of the Chewing Habit.

| "A Wnctesaie Druggist ChatS About tho
Extent of the Chewing Habit.
St. Louis annually handles $780, 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
81, 000,00 of gum? Yet it has become
| such an important factor in trade
circles that it is now staple of every
druggists stock aud quoted in price,
lists. However this habit-for it has
reached that stage-is confined to the
Western States, most of this immense
sum of chewing-gum being consumed
west of the Atleghanies. The West
erner has become gum-chewer The
habit keeps five large factories in ex-
lstence for the manufacture of standard
brands, while there are innumerable
small makers. The fashion in brands
is always changing, like that in tobac-
cos. What may be popular this season
Is apt to be replaced next year by
more attractive brand. The latest ia
vorite is breath-killer. 1t is seasoned
with peppermint, and serves all the
purposes of Glove. The men are very
fond of it. This leads me to remark that
men are chief chewers of gum.
However much the giddy girls have
been ridiculed for chewing, they are
not half rs persistent as the male sex.
1 may say that the cigarette smoker is
not a gum-chewer. l do not know
why, but the two do not go together.
The men who chew gum are those in
business. 1t is a sort of substitute for
tobacco, and for man to keep his laws
working on an ounce of gum while he
Is engaged at a difficult task is the best
solace he can find. The habit is
spreading rapidly, as l can tell by the
amount OF gum sold. As l said St.
Louis is the chief gum city in the
country. Observe for yourself, and it
VIII not require IA very careful notice to
perceive the extent of the habit-vou
VIII see women chewing in the street
cars and even in church; YOU will find
men chewing gum while walking along
the streets and at work. Old people
chew 1t because they believe it
promotes digestion, and young people
because 1T is fascinating habit. I

of his guilt, the culprit fell on his

confusion by confronting him with his

How q Revolutionary Hero was bady
Scared by His SON.

/ Scared by HIS Son.
Among the revolutionary stories
which are traditional in the oiu Toih
/ family of North Carolina is one whlcf
will be new to our readers. and which
proves that the boy of '76 did not differ
very greatly from the boy of to-day.
The chief of the family in that day
was Colonel John Polk. who from the
first outbreak took an active part in the
revolution. He formed small COM
pany among the neighboring planters,
and with them attacked and routed the
large body of Tory troops under Sir
William Campbell the last British
Governor of North Carolina. he
served afterwards in every campaign
until the surrender of CORVALLIS, when
he returned to his family with the rank
of General.
He had four mischievous sons, the
oldest of whom was about sixteen. he
fell into the habit of necessarily telling
them about the dangers he had seen,
prompted to do so by little pardona-
BILE vanity and also, no doubt by the
desire to stimulate the courage of the
BOYS. As time wore on, the boys were
bored by the many-times-told tales.
