WARNING TO GUM-CEEWERs.

IF the girls only knew that their eyes
are being ruined by chewing gum they
would shrink from it as they would a
viDer." said a Chestnut street optician
yesterday, eve all know to what an
extent this chewing gum is carried on
and what nasty habit is. l would ad-
wise the girls to stop it at once. If they
have big wad in their mouths while
reading this interview let them throw it
out und swear off, as the drinkers say,
for III one respect these dainty girls are
like drunkards. If they are chronic
gum-chewers they are heir to all the in
trmities that affiict the chronic whisky
drinkers. | have thres girls who were
addicted to the habit, but / broke them
from it after a great deal of per-
suasion and some tritling punishment.
The oldest girl has evidences of the
habit, though, and viii carry them TO
the grave.
'sHow are the eyes affected"
well, the muscles of the jaw connect
with the spine, and from the spine there
are little dbrous tissues running in all
directions. A number of these extend
to the eyes and are called the optic
nerves. Now, if you will watch a per-
son eating, you will notice palpitation
Of the temples 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 Is much as is needed
to keep them in g healthy condition.
These nerves are more tender and sensi-
tive 10 degree than any one would i'm
agine. When they are overworked they
become shrunken and enfeebled, and
then the process Of deterioration in
the eye-sight begins. OF course
the shrinkage of the nerve draws
the eye back into the socket. and
as il is connected by slender threads of
tissue 10 the pupil of the eve, this also
becomes affected The Consequence is
that the eye becomes weak and loses its
color; it becomes an unnatural looking
gray, and the vision is so much injured

you ARE A MIC'SADER

Kansas City, Kan, seems to be power

whether Kansas City. Kan, Is a self-re-
specting city or merely a slop-over from
Kansas City, Mo. At least the Kansas
City (Kansas) Gazette, the Wichita

other equally Acknowledgements claim so,
and no doubt public excitement in Kan
sas City, Kan, is we'll voiced by these
organs. 1t does seem little hard that a
city in which you go down stairs to
take the elevated railroad, and which
claims the ghost Of a valuable COW
said ghost now actively engaged in
haunting the two small boys who extin-
guished its life by an overflow of unripe
watermelons-it is hard that such city
should be called ''slop-over" from
another city. Still it does not EXCUSE
the Kansas City (Kansas) Gazette
for ending an editorial protest addressed
to the Wichita EAGLE with You are

We are fiattered and rather amazed
that the local affairs of Kansas City,
Kansas, should go away beyond the Mic

From the quantity of cheese sold for
use in the states of the west generally it
is very evident that a market exists for
all that we can possibly produce, es-
pecially when we bear in mind the fact
that today we are producing bare
fraction of the quantity called for 1t
viii be apparent to those engaged in the
dairy business that at some seasons of
the year they can make cheese to better
profit than butter, and run no risk OF
finding an overcrowded market. To
succeed as a state it is essentially neces-
sary that our farmers produce the goods
called for, diversity their manufactures
and have an eye always to the produc-
ton of the best. 4 first rate quality of

We have often heard the motto:
''Never strike man when he is down.
But here is another that needs needing,
when we encounter skillful and beliger-
ent controversailistS of any kind: 'Nev-
strike a pugihst when he is up" Es-
pecially is it needful that the cowardly
fellows who never observe the former
should be ali the more careful to comply
with the latter; for the fact that they so
bravely attack man when ne has no
friends, may result in their sometimes
being caught IN an unfortunate position
where they will have none. This has so
wide an application to so many things
personal, social, moral, religious. ecclesi-
astical-that we let every reader draw
his own moral for his own good, if he
has sufficient wisdom and prudence to
do SO. Ii he has not the good Judge
ment to do this, we can only pity him.
The brave man can afford to be Inaxnan-
imous, and lie usually is.

eyesight is practically ruined, and she
has crows feet wrinkles about the outer
corners that were caused by the flesh of
the cheeks being forced upward by the
action of the jaw. She is also troubled
with indigestion from the same cause.
These are all symptoms exhibited by a
person who drinks whisky plentifully,
and hence the comparison. Parents
ought to take this matter in hand and
see if they cannot rid their girls of the
habit. 1t is filthy one outside of the
terrible effect it has upon the human
system. If the parents viii keep from
their girls some of the little perquisities
until they stop chewing gum they would

THE UNITED STATES AT PARIS.

Mr.. Commissioner Colman is sending
out circular letter of which the follow
ing is copy:
The congress of the United States
having accepted on the part of this gov
eminent, the invitation of the French
republic to take part in an international
Exposition to be held in Paris In 1899.
has directed the commissioner of agri-
culture by Joint resolution approved
May 10 last, TO collect and prepare suita-
BILE specimens of the agricultural pro-
duction of the several states and tern
tories Of the Union for exhibition at said
exposition.
a special division has been organized
in this department for this purpose. and
q number of special agents have been
appointed by me to collect suitable spec
linens for exhibition.
Statistics support the assertion that
agriculture furnishes four-ffths of our
exports, and it is to the interest of all
our states and territories that the United
States should be creditably represented
by this department at the great exposi-
ton which the French people have or
ganized at Paris, and which will attract
countless visitors from all countries in
the world. 1t is therefore needless to
dwell upon the Importance of the agri-
cultural section OF the United States
exhibit.
In view of these facts, you are cordi-
ally invited TO cooperate by every means
III your power in the special work as
'siged TO the agents appointed by this de-
partment in this important duty.
If possible one of the agents will call
upon you in the near future: and in the
meantime this department would be
pleased to hear from you and to get your
views as to the most appropriate pro-
ductions of your section of the country.
and such as would be most desirable for
the purpose indicated.
