The Curse of Profanity.

Speaking of profanity, it seems to
me that it is greatly on the increase.
and / am led to inquire what we are
coming to? You can hear it almost
any where. It's not alone teamsters
and such men, as it used to be, but it
seems about every class swears. They
swear when it's warm; swear when
it's cold; swear when they're young,
and when they get old; swear when
they re bridged; swear at the weather;
swear when alone; and swear alto
gether. Years ago when | was young
a man who swore was looked upon
with horror. lregret SO often to hear
men who profess to be gentlemen, SO
far forget themselves as to actually
swear in the presence Of ladies. It is
a great pity that ladies as they pass
along the streets should have their ears
constantly assaile,ss by such strings of
oaths as one may hear, and it is no
uncommon thing now to hear an oath
or two on the stage i'll coarse of o
play. And l sometimes wish we could
have little of the old Connections

Extent Of the ocean.

e :9a- (
St. James Gazette: At the last meet
ing of the Royal Society of Edinburg
DR.. John Murray of the Challenger
expedition made communication on
The Hight and volume Of the Dry
Land and the Depth and Volume OF
the Ocean According to his own in
yestigations, Engineering says, the
mean hight of the land of the globe
was 2.230 feet above the sea level. and
the mean depth of the ocean was H.
$50 feet. or 1850 fathoms. If the
ocean were regarded as being divided
into two parts by the 1. 000-fathom line
it would be found that the mean depth
of the area having less depth than
1000 fathoms was 2,028 feet, or 33S
fathoms. or nearly the same depth be-
meath the sea as the hight of the dry
land above it. On the other hand, the
mean depth of the area beyond tho
1000 fathoms is 1860 feet, or 2, 40
fathoms. The former area called BY
DR.. Murray the transitional area
occupies 24,000,0 900 square miles; and
the latter area, which is the abysmal
area, and is situated fully three miles
below the average nights Of the CONT
nents, occupies 113,OOO,0O0 square
miles, or more than half of the surface
of the earth. In the transitional area
of the ocean there are many and varied
conditions in respect of light, heat,
currents, changes of level, the charac.
ter and variety of the deposits, and in
the animals and plants which inhabit
the various parts of the region.
The deposits are in most respects
similar to those which make up a very
large part of the sedimentary forma-
ton of the dry land. In the abysmal
area there is uniform set of condi-
tions, the temperature being near the
freezing point, with an annual range not
exceeding 70 Fahrenheit, and there
being no sunlight or plant life There
is a great abundance of animal life; but
the forms from various parts of the
area are very similar. and unlike those
OF. shallower waters; and the deposits.
which accumulate slowly, are unlike
any of the sedimentary deposits of the
dry land. From DR.. Murray investi-
cations it also appears that if the dry
land of the globe were reduced to the
sea level by beng removed to and
piled up in the shallower waters of the
ocean then its extent would be about
80,0OO,000 square miles, and the rest
of the surface of the earth would be
covered by an ocean extending to 49,
100000 square miles. Again, should
the whole of the solid land be reduced
to one level under the ocean then the
surface of the earth would be covered
by an ocean with uniform depth of
about two miles.

Gum Chewing.

The devotion Of the American girl
for gum has been remarked for 10!
this many a year, but the habit of
gun1-cheWing has remained until the
present season in all its pristine SIM
pllcity. The gum has been bought in
small quantities at the druggists or
the confectioner' and has been masti-
Gated with due frankness. At last
some enterprising genius with an
artistic temperament has come to the
relief OF the girls who are addicted to the
habit, and by one great stroke has
elevated it to the level of an accomplish
ment. He has done this by what is
called a ssgum- board. = The girls de-
corate the sides of the frame, pin silk
ribbons upon the corners, hang it up
on the walls of their chambers. and
in some cases have even gone so far as
to issue orders for special glmboards
to be made that in color and form
shall harmonic with the furniture in
their apartments. Heretofore the dis
coverer of a particularly choice morsel
OF tutti-frutti OF spruce has been oblig-
ed, when occasion demanded the re-
llnquishment of the chew, to stick it
upon the mantelpiece, or upon the
window frame, OF when retiring,
upon the bed post. The objections to
this method of preserving the morsel
are apparent and well known to all
who have tried it; if placed upon the
bed-post or window frame it is liable.
upon being taken off again to resume
the mastication, to carry some flavor
OF paint with it during the first few
chews. This, of course, is disagreeable
in itself, and more so because it de-
tracts from the esthetic enjoyment of
the gum. On the other hand, if the
gum is placed on the marble mantel, il is
liable to take up with it, when removed
some OF the dust that inevitably fingers
upon any piece of furniture, in spite of
the most careful attention of the house.
maid.
The gum-board is desie ned to over
come all these disagreeable features of
the preservation of the chew. It is
made OF highly polished slate and is
surrounded by frame which makes
the board itself set in about an inch or
little more from theleveI of the frame.
Then there is a nice glass door on
hinges that shuts in upon the gum
board, thus protecting it from dust.
When the girl, then, has chewed a
sufficiently long time upon her gum or
is interrupted in the process OF her es-
thetic enjoyment by callers and is
under the necessity, therefore of using
her teeth and tongue for conversational
purposes she simply opens this glass
door, presses the gum upon the pol
ished slate, closes the door. and leaves
it, confident that when she wishes to
return to her delectable pleasure the
morsel can be taken be taken up free
from any heterogeneous matter.-NeaU

THE GYPSY'S CURSE.
Why 1t Was Uttered and How 1t Ia
Been Realized.

Why It Was Uttered and How 1t Has
Been Realized.
In 1878 band Of rowing Gypsies Wis
tied Phoebe and pitched their tents near
the town. Among their number was a
weird and venerable fortune-tellino
dame. Though the woman was Wild
looking bag, she claimed to be a sort of
queen among her people. In Phoebe,
whenever she appeared on the streets,
this red-mantled old witch was Knocked
at and derided. She endured this for a
time, but one day became enraged, and
in a towering passion she raised her
staff in her Withered hands and cursed
the people and the town. She cursed
them in the product Of their mines, in
their business of traffic. and in their
houses and lands for ten years. For
ten years she said they would wither
and decay until houses were abandoned
and streets deserted, then would come
Il new people and new era, when the
old prosperity of the place would return.
When she had thus cursed the town
and the people the old witch turned on
her heel and strobe away. The camp
of her people at once struck their tents
and all departed, never again to return.
Ever since that time the blasting iuAu-
ence of the old woman's curse has been
upon the town, as is supposed, until
this year (1888), when the ten years
expired. Now the old prosperity is
returning. The deserted mines are
being reopened, people who were
starved out of the place are returning
to claim and repossess their property,
merchants and tradesmen are again
opening stores and shops, and Phoebe
is at last to have long-delayed railroad
and transportation facilities. At last
the curse Of the Gypsy woman is off the
town, and again the people are ami
mated BY their oltl-time spirit and enter
prise. - Nsvada Eatssprise.

WEAyER'S CHARGES.
millions of Dollars Missing from
United States TREASURY

millions of Dollars Missing from the
United States Treasury.
When the Republicans went out of
power in Washington the Democratic
journals and politicians all over the
country raised a great shout of Count
the money" They pretended to be-
1ieve that millions would be found
missing from the Treasury The
money was counted and every cent
was found in the Treasury. But if the
money should be counted now, after
only three years of Democratic Admin
istration, the money would not be
found in the Treasury. Millions would
be found missing from. the Treasury.
1t is not in the Treasury. Where is it?
According to Congressman Weaver,
Greenbacker and Democrat, of Iowa,
the Administration, frightened by the
piling up Of the surplus idle and out
of the channels of business, undertook
to put the idle money into circu-
lation by making certain favored
banks free present of its use, and so
has loaned out to these favored banks,
without interest, and nobody knows
on what security, millions on mil
lions of the peoples money. And
now if the Government should sud-
denly want this money, and call it
in, the result would probably be a ter
rible financial panic and crash The
favored banks to whom the use of this
money has been given, Mr.. Weaver
says, have been used to boom the price
of United States bonds SO that, if the
Government now wants to pay off the
bonds, it will have to pay twenty-five
per cent. premium to these same
banks, in whose power the Admins
tration has placed the Government.
Worse; if the Government was going
to give the use of the public money,
which ought to be in the Treasury,
to any banks, it ought to divide equally
with all. Ii it is going to let the banks
have the use of the peoples money, it
ought to let every body have the same
chance on the same terms. The peo-
pie are being taxed one hundred mill
ion year simply to give certain
favored banks the use without interest
of the money thus wrought from the
Taxpayers. Now, there are accusa-
tons made by Democrat and Green
hacker against the Democratic Admins
istration. No Democratic Congress-
man dared to dispute the facts. What
do the people think of them? Lam
