AusTRIA's NEXT RULER.
The Rufian Who will Probably Inherit
Francis Joseph's Throne.

SSAs OO9CPste AmEOmos
Archduke Charles, the Emperor's
brother, is not likely to survive the
present monarch as he is man of very
poor health. In that case, the next
Emperor of Austria will be Archduke
Joseph's son Otto. The latter is with
out exception the most offensive of all
the ninety-eight Archdukes and Arch
duchesses who constitute the Imperial
family of Austria. Welded to charm
ing and beautiful Saxon Princess, he
subjected her to such ill-treatment
during the first year of their marriage,
that she was obliged to leave him and
to return for while to her parents.
The browning outrage which her
husband inflicted on her was one
night at Prague, when after carousing
with dissolute women and dissipated
men to the various haunts of ill-fame,
he conveyed the entire party to his
residence. After INDUCING in disgust
ing orgies he at length suggested to his
companions, male and female. that
they should accompany him upstairs
and pay visit to his wife, who was at
the time within few weeks only of
her confinement. Fortunately one of
the Princes aide-de-camps had re-
NAMED sober, and thoroughly alarmed
at the prospect of the consequences of
such inconceivable conduct, he rushed
on ahead, and posted himself before
the door of the Archduchess' bedroom,
threatening to shoot like dog any one,
not excepting the Archduke, who
should dare to approach within ten
PAGES. Cowed by his determined atti>
tude, the jewellers skunk of.
The Emperor was deeply incensed
when he heard of the incident and
ordered his nephew to undergo three
arrest. The young aide-de-
camp, however, received well-mer.

DON'T CHEW GUM.
1t Il Silly Habit, Injurious to Boz
Health and beauty.

"~"~--- - -~~~~~~y'
"Girls, if you would have plump and
rosy cheeks, don't chew gum" are the
opening words of a lecture just issued
by distinguished professor on the
evils of chewing gum. habit which
just now has taken strong hold on
the girls of the land.
The fashionable young lady considers
package of daintily- chew
ing 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 little
silver box. more dainty than even 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 1t 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
that Americans eat too much and too
rapidly. The act of chewing gum
stimulates the salivary glands, and, by
giving to the food taken its proper
quota OF saliva, greatly aids digestion
and positively prevents dyspepsia.
The lecture published by the eminent
scientist quoted above refutes the state
ments of the chewing gum maker, and
asserts that the daily morsel is a dan
gerous enemy to womankind. almost as
great an evil as rum is to mankind. Fair
inaidens are turned into human wrecks,
and irreparable damage to the system
is done by constant use of chewing gum.
Rosy cheeks are made hollow and sal
low. and cute dimples are transformed
into wrinkles, while deep lines are
drawn around the once beautiful eyes.
The lecturer says: 1.-The constant exer.
ton of the masseter muscle hardens it,
and removes the fatty substance which
conduces 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
the demand for gum will be
cut of very materially.
The output of chewing gum is 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 society peo-
pie. There are many smaller manu-
all located in Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, and the entire
daily production is between five and
six tons.-Philadelphia Record.
