the mythical city of Manganetus

in this issue a public meeting called
to discuss the question of a new
bridge across the stream that exists
only in the columns of the Index.
Here is the wife of a prominent
mining superintendent eloping with
a member of the city council; here
is runaway team, knocking the
smithereens out of cigar store.
You will note the advertisement OF
the cigar store in another column.
Here is the killing of Texas Pete and
the investigation of his death by a
coroner's jury. The cause of the
shooting was dispute relative TO
the ownership of mining location
of fabulous richness. There is also
in another portion of the paper
legal summons advertised calling
on co. owner (one of the principals
in the affray), to do his assessment
work or lose his interest. All my
work dove-tails nicely in, has a
plausible look, and shows no flaw,
yet it is all absolutely made from

"Clara, bring me the mailing list. "
glanced over the list and saw
that it embraced the leading bank
ing houses of London and NewYork

enough on the list. About hun

The roar of the wind through the
pines, and the rocking of the cabin

My friend, the editor, was very
talkative at breakfast. He never
alluded to his name, but he told
me more of the'paper and the en-
| ioyment he had in building up q
town in the clouds from purely
imaginative basis.
"To-morrow," said he, II start
out on horseback to the nearest

of papers in the hollow of a tree

along to take them.

the GUN HABIT.
A Vast Amount Of Wasted Energy
Why Is It Popular.

tuaC are uduU1dCtUIOU WOuAN O0 q
matter of surprise to those who
have paid no attention to the sub
ject, and who may suppose that the
million of mouths they see engaged
in it's mastication have common
and vulgar taste. From the fact
that it can be obtained at the apothe-
cary's an impression has got abroad
that it is medicinal. This is not true.
The medical profession do not use
it, and what distinguishes it from
drugs-that they also do not use
is the fact that they do not pre-
scribe it. 1t is neither narcotic
nor stimulant. 1t cannot strictly
be said to soothe or to excite. The
habit of using it differs totally from
that of the chewing of tobacco or
the dipping Of snuff: 1t might, by a
purely mechanical operation, keep
a person awake, but no one could
go to sleep chewing gum: 1t is in
itself neither tonic nor sedative. 1t
is noticed also that the gum habit
differs from the tobacco habit in that
the aromatic and elastic substance
is masticated, while the tobacco
never is, ard that the mastication
leads to nothing except more mas
tication. The task is one that can
never be finished. The amount of
energy expended in this process, if
capitalized or conserved, would pro-
duce great results. Of course the
individual does little, but if the
power evolved by the practice in a
district school could be utilized, it
would suffice to run the kinder
garten department. The writer has
seen a railway car-say in the West
filled with young women, nearly
every one of whose jaws and pretty
mouths was engaged in this pleas
ant occupation, and so much power
was generated that it would, if ap-
piled, have kept the car in motion
if the steam had been shut off-at
least it would have furnished the
motive for Illuminating the car by
electricity.
This national industry is the sub
iect of constant detraction, satire
and ridicule by the newspaper press.
This is because it is not understood,
and it may be because it is mainly
female accomplishment; the few
men who chew gum may be sup
posed to do so by reason of gallantry.
There might be no more sympathy
with it in the press if the real rea.
son for the practice were under
stood, but it would be treated more
respectfully. Some have said that
the practice arises from nervous
ness-the idle desire to be busy
without doing anything-and be-
cause it fills up the pauses of vacu-
ity in conversation. But this would
not fully account for the practice
of it in solitude. Some have re-
garded it as in obedience to the
feminine instinct for the cultiva-
ton of patience and self-denial-pa-
tience in a fruitless activity and
self-denial in the eternal act of
mastication without swallowing. 1t
is no more related to these virtues
than it is to the habit of the re-
Elective cow in chewing her cud.
The COW would never chew gum.
The explanation is a more phi
losophical one and relates to a
great modern social movement. 1t
is to strengthen and develop, and
make more masculine the lower
jaw.-Harper's Magazine.

DREAMS.

In my dreams hear sweest music
That floats down the valley of song,
And know angel voices are chanting,
Their mystical words-deep and strong
For my soul often hears in the silence
The voices / loved-long ago;
And weep in my dreams for the faces
Here on earth / may see--nevermore.
And know in that valley Of silence =
When / tread its dim shadows alone;
When from earth with its cares and sorrows
In sweet freedom my spirit has flown,
There'll be waiting an angel to bear me
Away from this earth on its wing
And shall hear sweetest music,
That only the angels can sing,
All me In my dreams Of that valley,
Where caught but glimpse ofits blue
Where music the sweetest, was shansed
And faces we're veilei from my view.
Twas then that my tears, sweet as rain
drops
That christen the flowers in May.
Fell fast; and my prayers deep and holy
Assembled to Goodnight and day.

There is nothing that adds more
to the zest of life than On interesting
occupation even if it means hard
work, there is reeompense in the
enjoyment Of well-earned rest. No
work ought, however, to be over
towering, or SO exhaustive that
ones energies fall below their aspi-
rations. On the other hand, no life
is so thoroughly wretched as one
where the necessity and desire for
work is wanting and this is particu-
larly true of persons of education
and intelligence who allow them
selves to fall into that unsettled
condition of mind where nothing is
of interest. 1t is difficult at first to
force an interest, but when the first
step is made, the habit of regular
occupation of only for one or two
hours. Active minds, if not sup
piled with some subject for solid
thought, will finally prey upon
themselves, and end by breaking
down the physical health.

Rich, Ref Blood.

With ricbwred blood coursins

mankind ought to live out theis'
allotted time in ease, in comfort and
in perfect health. Old mother
earth has furnished herbs of healing
and strengthening virtue that won
derfully assist nature in keeping
the blood pure and clean. Science
revealed these herbs to that eminent
physician DIR. John Bull, of Louis
vile, KY, and they are happily
blended in his meritorious compound
called DR.. John Bulls Sarsaparil-
la. Syphilis and scroftna yield
readily to its magic influence, and
other symptoms of impure blood,
such as pimples, sores, aches, pains,
indigestion, weak kidneys, etc.,
vanish like snow before the noon
day sun. 1t is the only compound
that is absolutely safe to use in cases
of bad blood. 1t never leaves any
unpleasant after-tects, and it stimu-
lates the whole system beginning
with the first dose taken.

Best Thing He Eyey Saw.

The following is an extract from a
letter written by Mr.. D. A. Rey-
nolds, editor and proprietor Of the
Herald, Lyons, Mich, under date
OF January 18th, 1890: "You will
observe that | have given your adj
vertisement position on the first
page of the Herald, while other
proprietary medicines have had to
take the run Of the paper. The
reason for doing this, that upon re-
ceiving your ''copy'' number of
the cures effected seemed similar to
that of which my little son was suf-
fering, case of blood poison, or
irritable sores breaking out all over
his body. To day he is entirely
free from disease, and one bottle of
Swift's Specific Is. s. So did the
work. Now this is the reason for
giving you the position, as | consid-
er Swift's Specific Is. S. s. the
best medicine | ever saw. l wish
you unlimited success in your bust
ness"
The above.is a sample OF letters
which are coming to us all the
time. s. S. S. is nearer infallible
than any medicine made, and has
probably done more good than any
medicine known to mankind. We
will mail Treatise on Blood and
Skin Diseases to all who will send
