Why will so many OF our young pco-
ple-the girls especially-persist in
chewing gum in public places, attract
ing attention and making their natur-
ally pretty faces ugly in their contor-
tions? Cannot they see in Others how
coarse and unladylike il looksP But
above all, don't u ey know how very
Injurious is the constant habit? The
genuine gum. as IL exudes from the
spruce trees in New England, Is not
unhealthful, II chewed for little
while; but even that. the purest OF all
gums, will soon cause nausea and hic-
coughs, from the saliva flowing too
freely and the gas forming in the
stomach; but what must be the result
when chewing continually the doubt
ful concoction made from no one knows
what But still they chew in every
place, and ] am ashamed for my sex,
TO say that | have even seen IL In
church, and by girls no longer youngl
What do they mean? II their wrinkles
are not appearing fast enough, they
can take no better way to hurry them
along than by keeping up the pcrpet-
ual motion OF their Jaws; and, at the
same time, they are preparing the way
for false teeth 10 match the wrinkles;
but lastly comes the word OF n physi-
clan that he knows OF several cases
where 10 has caused serious brain
trouble. So. dear young readers,
please bear these hints In mind. and
pass them along to any one you may
chance TO know who Is In danger OF
becoming victim OF this foolish. and
hurtful habit. - Cor. Banner Of Light

Several years ago there appeared In
print description OF small table on
casters. TO be wheeled from the kitch-
en- TO the dining room. IL was 10 be
used to carry dishes TO the table, and
out into the kitchen after meal. An
Improvement on this can be made by
people who do their own work, and
are limited for room. Have table
on castors. narrow enough TO be pushed
through the door. Take the two end
sets of legs OF an old table and put In
new side rails any length desired,
and put on a new top. If seven feet

dollar, and tho work can be done by
carpenter for three dollars, IL the legs.
are plain. Turned legs will make the
table look better and also increase the
expense. The food can be taken from
the range, brought from pantry and
cellar, and placed upon the table be-
fore IL Is wheeled into the dining
room. Many people in winter make
bedroom OF their sitting-room, SO
that the dining-room must also serve
as a sitting-room.
As soon as the table Is wheeled from
the dining-room the floor can be
brushed, tho windows opened TO air
the room. and it is ready for a sitting
room. The extension table belonging
TO the dining-room can be used as a
library table for writing and reading.
IL one can wash dishes without spat-
tering, a dripping-pan, with towel
folded and laid in the bottom, can be
set on the end OF the table, with tow
els at hand. Then let the dish-wash-
or sit down with the pan on her lap
and her feet on footstool. One can
not wash dishes as rapidly as on n
kitchen table, but there are times
when a woman does not care
whether she works rapidly or not. IL
is good way TO rest on ironing days,
and at other busy times. The tired
muscles get rested, and the work is
not stopped. Sometimes the sitting
room is warmer than the kitchen. II
the pots and lans have been put
''a-soak. as they should have been,
the kitchen can be rapidly finished up
afterward.

hood of Railroad brakeman of the lodges
whose members are employed on the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, called on General
Eastern superintendent Goodwin to lay be-
fore him number of grievances they wish
to have remedied. The grievances are the
regulating of the brakemens runs, an ad-
vance in wages, regulating promotions,
and the payment of wages during suspen-
sion where an inquiry develops that the
man suspended was blameless.
Superintendent Goodwin, when informed
by the committee of their being members
of the Brotherhood, refused to receye
them as members thereof, and told them
that had they come as employees of the
road he would listen to their griey-
ances. lie told them, however, that he
would bring the matter of their having
called on him before the Board of Directors
and the action of that body would be COM

EIeered Manager.

After a continued service of nineteen
years in the employ of the Central Railroad
Of New Jersey, Mr.. N, o. Bryan has ten
dered his resignation as station agent here,
TO accept the general management of the
Lehigh Coal & Hardware Co., in this city, TO
which he was elected at late meeting of the
board of directors. Mr.. b, was instrumental
in originating this company few years ago
the business of which has developed to such
proportions that IL isnow the leading estab-
iishment Of its kind in the Lehgh Valley,
with a rapidly growing trade, that is in no
particular limited to locality, and we pre-
dict wide extension of the business under
bis management. Mr. Bryan is eompara-
lively young man, being about 80 years
of age, but he has been in the harness since
he passed sixteen. He came to this town
about decade ago and soon established
himself as a live progressive man and has
twice been elected a director Of our public
schools besides having filled other positions
of trust and credit. We congratulate Mr.
Bryan on his promotion and compliment
the company on securing his sery ices.
