How entirely the New York Times is an
organ of England interests in this country
is plainly evinced by the fact that the
British Minister, as the expression of his
own views sent his Los Angeles cores

copy:

nrexico's Improved Government.

John Glunz, Fort Scott merchant, just
returned from Mexico, says. The country is
perfectly quiet and orderly, the present Mexi-
can government having brought order out Of
former troubles, and in no country are the
laws better observed. OF course the common
people are illiterate and poor, but they are
grandly polite people, There is an absence
of public Accommodations. but every house is
open to strangers. The government is doing
all it can to encourage immigration, and
large quantities of improved machinery are
being brought in for mining operations,
under. special dispensation Of the govern
ment, which admits it duty free. The people
all appear to feel the necessities for some ex-
traneous force being brought to bear upon
the development Of their resources. In my
opinion the opportunities and the conditions
are all splendid for the investment Of Ameri-
can capital, and do not know where one
can 60 and secure larger returns for his
money. St Louis Ilepphli0

How Chewing Gums are Made.

As matter of fact. chewing gums are
chiefly made from the general class OF
vegetable substances known as resins,
including eleo.rssins, gum resins and
balsans Poorer aud cheaper kinds are
made from wax, paratline. stearine, dex-
trine and stearic acid. OF the resins en-
ployed in the best are gum chicle, brown
resin, mastic. Burgundy pitch, sp. ice

balsam of Peru and balsam of Tolu. All
of these are sticky, elastic, antiseptic.
insoluble in water. fragrant and even
palatable. Their use promotes the secre-
tion OF saliva, and, according TO Professor
Ogden Doremus, increases the formation
of piyalin, its fermenting principle.
Their influence upon the assimilatiye
system is when used in moderation very
beneficial. In cases of dyspepsia and in
digestion arising from malarial sources.
they are often of the highest value. the
camphoric acid and essential oils which
in small quantities enter into their COM
position acting as mild stimulants and
grastric tonics. This is particularly the
case with the gum chicle and spruce
gum;--these two substances making up
one third of all the chewing gums used
upon the American continent.

Tastes OF the Book Hunters.

In book hunting mems tastes vary
widely, just as some hunters pursue o
mountain grizzly, the buffalo or the ante
lope, while others find their amusement
in shooting on the wing. Some men
prize only Bibles, some Shakespeare, some
old ballads, some the Elizabethan itera-
ture and some Queen Anne's. Some want
only American, and others only first edi-
tions. The field Is, in fact, as broad as
literature and as boundless as human de-
the book world, and their story is one of
the most interesting chapters in litera-

but full of fascinating interest Those
