DON'T CHEW CUM, GIRLS.
1t L. Silly Habit, I'M urious to Health and
Beauty.

"Girls. if you would have plump and
rosy cheeks. don't chew gum" are the
opening words of lecture just issued
by distinguished professor on the
evils of chewing gum. habit which
just now has taken a strong hold on
the girls of the land.
The fashionable young lady consid-
ers a package of daintily-arranged
chewing gum as very necessary part
of her wardrobe, and when the sin
the-swim young man. wants to make
his best girl present he gives her a
little silver box, more dainty even than
the gum itself, and from this the miss
is pleased to hand around the gum to
her afternoon callers.
A young lady and her tolu are in
separable. On the beach and in the
bath it is with her, and even in the
folds of her scant evening dress it may
always be found. The gum habit has
spread over the entire land. and the
California girl uses it, as does also the
New York belle, for Dame Fashion has
decreed it.
The gum comes in attractive pack
ages, tied in delicate ribbons, and con-
tanned in each bundle of one dozen
pieces is neat card setting forth the
advantages of gum from a sanitary
standpoint. 1t reads: Dyspepsia,
which is so prevalent in America, is
caused solely by lack of saliva as
simulated with the food, due to the fact
hat Americans eat too much and too
rapidly. The act of chewing gum
stimulates the salivary CLAM, and, by
giving to the food taken lis proper
quota of saliva, greatly aids d.gestion
and positively prevents dyspepsia"
The lecture published by the emil
nent scientist quoted above refutes the
statements of the chewing gum maker,
and asserts that the daily morsel is a
dangerous enemy to womankind, al
most as great an evil as rum is to man.
kind. Fair maidens are turned into
human wrecks, and irreparable dam
age to the system Is done by the con-
slant use of chewing gum. Rosy
cheeks are made hollow and sallow,
and cute dimples are transformed into
wrinkles, while deep lines are drawn
around the. once beautiful eyes. The
lecturer says: 1.-The constant exertion
of the masseter muscle hardens it, and
removes the fatty substance which con-
duces to roundness. Not only is the
fullness of the cheek destroyed, but
there is great tendency to wrinkling
of the skin, natural result Of the fall
ing away of the parts beneath it"
The doctor uses many other argu-
ments equally convincing, and when
they are placed before the ladies
properly the demand for gum will be
cut off very materially.
The output of chewing gum is, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Record,
very large. One New York house
turns out daily, in small parcels of one
dozen pieces, quantity that in bulk
would make nearly three tons. This
house makes the brand which meets
with special favor in the eyes of So
ciety people. There are many smaller
manufactures, all located in Boston,
New York and Philadelphia, and the
entire daily production is between five
and six tons.

Facts and Figures.

The consumption of sugar in the
United States last year was 1862, 900
tons of refined and JOG, 500 tons of raw.
The entire potato product of the
country in 1888 was $50, 000,0 900 BUSH
els, an increase of 90,000,000 bushels
over the crop of 1887. The principle
great potato-producing states are New
York, Michigan, Illinois, and Mime
sofa, and Dakota territory.
The window-glass consumption for
the last six months of 1888 was the
largest ever known, and there were
200, 900 more boxes produced than the
year previous. The imports were also
heavy. The number of pots were in
creased during the year from 700 to
1000.
The United States possesses the
largest vault and the largest deposit of
money in the world. 1t can hold $780,
100000, but the prospects are favora-
BILE for a call for increased storage of
silver. There are about $40, 600, 900 in
half dollars that do not bulge.
The total imports at New York, ex-
elusive of specie, were $455, S74, 020 for
the past year, against S46l ,534,595 for
the previous year. The returns show
falling off in the imports of produce
and merchandise of only $3.50, 575,
which is much less than was antici-
pated considering the general de-
preston of trade.
1t is semi-officially stated that the
price of silver during 1888 averaged
933 cents per ounce, as against 1.O1s
in 1887. The decline in the price, it is
claimed, caused direct loss to Colo
RADIO mines of 81, 456, 1873, or the return
was that sum less than they would
have received for the same ounces OF
silver during the previous year.
The dairy interests of the United
States represent more than $1,000, O0O,.
900. The number of milk cows is es-
timated at 24,OOO,000, which give an
aggregate milk production of 1885,.
600, 900 gallons. Four billion gallons
are used for butter, 700,000,OOO for
cheese, and the balance for general
purposes. The annual production OF
butter is 1850, 100000 pounds, and g.
5OO,0 pounds of cheese. This i'm
mense dairy herd requires 100000, 0OC
acres of pasture land to support it.

A Rich Mans Revenge.

Even the arbitrary power of Prince
Bismarck can not prevent him from
receiving hard blows. The Berlin cor
respondent of the New York Tribune
writes as follows:
Just opposite the palace of the
young Prince Leopold of Prussia. and
next to the chancellor's palace, on the
Wilhelm strasse, where half of Europe
is ruled at present, stands a house,
lofty and palatial in size. but with an
air of desolation, desertion and mys-
terry which attracts the attention of the
passer-by. 1t is larger than the home
of the chancellor. The windows are
closed, the blinds lowered, and the
great iron gate opening upon the
court, where grass has sprouted. is
barred and bolted. Theivy has grown
wild along the wall, and the marble
statues of Watt, Stephenson, Fulton
and score of mechanics, which fill
the inches of the front and sides, Civ
ing 1t the appearance OF an interna-
tional tomb, are yellow with the re-
peated pelting of the rain. Between
the dark, gloomy, dungeon-like house
and the chancellor's palace, in fact
with adjoining walls, are the stables
ready for stud of horses and apart
ments for coachman on the floor
above. Wrapped in this silence, the
house stands to-day as it has stood for
years. 1t was the home of the great
Borsig, the German locomotive builder,
one of the wealthiest and brightest
men of Germany, and probably Bis
marck's most bitter enemy. The
chancellor had refused a request vital
to his interests, and he determined up
on revenge. He is long since dead,
but he lived long enough ere he lef.
his millions to an industrious son to
offend Bismarck more than any other
man. Borsig placed his stables almost
at Bismarck's kitchen door. No beg
ging could change his purpose, and no
money could change his lot. He had
need of none, and his revenge was
taken. Though the family of the
great engineer has long since left their
Wilhelmstrasse palace, tie stables are
as conspicuous "a eyern

A Look at Ben Butler.

CHANGED to see Benjamin F. Butler,
of Massachusetts, recently at the
Supreme Courtroom at the Capitol.
In that courtroom men are generally
at their best. for the air of dignity and
decorum always prevailing there
affects every one. l have seen Gen.
Butler at intervals of years in various
positions. l saw him few days ago.
A year ago he appeared like decrepit
old man, who walked with difficulty
and appeared at the bar with all the
evidences of feeble old age. If l
recollect rightly he had then Il servant
in attendance who assisted him through
the corridors of the Capitol and down
the stairs. As l saw him recently he
seemed to have renewed his lease on
life. He was far more active, and, he
spoke with much more vigor when he
stood at the bar to make motion. The
view l had of him from the visitors
lobby and while he sat in a group of
lawyers and when he arose to address
the Court, instantly struck me as max
ing a strong contrast with the enfee-
bled condition that caught my atten-
ton nearly a year ago.

Chinese AstrOlogers.

The household of the Emperor Of
China includes umbrella bearers and
seventy-five astrologers, says the New
York Sun. The astrologers, who cor
respond to the signal-service bureau
OF the country, predict every day the
weather for the morrow. if they pre-
dict rain the umbrella bearers take q
day off. If they announce fair weather,
on the other hand, the umbrella bear
ers, mandarins of the overshoe, and
macintosh men report at the palace
at $50 a. m. The Emperor of China
may be heather Chinee, but he
knows enough to copper his astrolog-
gers and meteOrologers. AS an in
stance of the sagacity of the Chinese
imperial family in this regard we may
mention the signal refutation of Judi
cial astrology made by Hung-Beef
lung, graduate of the present EN-
peror. Chow-Chow, president of the
imperial college of astrologers, came
to Prince lungs palace one morning
and said "Scion of 10000 genera
tons of lungs, your poor servant has
dreamed a dream. Me seemed that

scared through the upper air."
We'll" asked the prince, gracefully
polishing his middle finger-nail with
the flat of dagger of the first dynasty,
what of it, young feller?"
"Ihis. my puissant and most gra-
cious lord, that thy life and mine shall
be long and of equal length. Astrology,
Col. Hung, is infallible."
You are liar" cried the prince,
and slit the astrolcgers weasand. And
it seems that Chow was a liar. For
old Hung survived himself twenty
eight years and would be alive now if
he had left opium alone. Since Chow's
death the Chinese astrologers have, by
imperial order, confined their predic-
tons 10 the weather. If they make
correct prediction they are executed,
but thus far none has incurred the
penalty. The Americal signal-service
bureau has still something to learn
from Chinese methods.

Mummy Eyes.

The museum of the State Mining
Bureau has been presented with some
articles by I. c. Ward, mining man
of Chill. The collection consists of
minerals, ancient Peruvian pottery
taken from the graves of the Incas,
and three mummy eyes found in b.
livia. The mummy eyes, as they are
called, are taken from the bodies of
Bolivian mummies, but bear no resem-
blance to the human eye. They look
like glass shells with gilt inside, and,
in spite of the fact that they are solid,
are delicate and easily broken. When

A Mean Husband.

A champion mean man has been
found in Vermont. A young lady
went into dentists Office few DAYS
ago and had her teeth examined, the
doctor reporting them badly decayed,
but by quite an outlay of money he
could put them in good shape. The
young lady departed, saying she would
report to her husband and call again
in few days. She did so, and on her
second call she was accompanied by
her father, the latter telling the dent
list to go ahead with the job and he
would pay the bill. Thinking the
dentist might wonder why he was pay
ing the bill the father explained that
the husband had said his wife's teeth
decayed before he married her, and he
was not going to pay for fixing them
up; her father ought to do it.
