Long Islands Blue LAWS.

Some Of the old Long Island towns were
settled by Puritans from across the sound
in Connecticut. In the musty records of
some of these places are to be found Ord-
nances which bear so much of likeness to
the Connecticut blue laws as to leave the
historical iconoclast who says those laws
never existed little ground upon which to
stand.
The good townspeople of Broolhayen,
in Suffolk county, met in 1874, ten years
after New York had passed from the hands
of Petrus Stuyvesant and was enjoying
the rule of the merry James of York, and
passed this resolution;
Whereas, god have bene much dis
hOnored, much presious TYNE misspent
and men impoverished by drinking and
tipling, ether in ordinery or other privet
houses; therefor we maeke this order that
whatsoever shall thus transgress, or sett
drinking above two hours, shall pay five
shillings, and the men of the hous for let
ting them have it after the TYNE prefixed
shall pay ten shillings exsept strangers

why Gum Chewing Is Injurious.


Can gum chewing be regarded as to any
degree harmful?
The habit is unnatural. 1t meets no
normal need, as does the chewing of the
cud by the COW and some other animals
Whatever is abnormal is presumptively in
furious, even though we may not be able
to trace its effects. 1t took a long time to
find out that tobacco chewing caused one
of the most fatal diseases of the heart.
Every secretion of the hody has it's nat
ural limitation Artificial stimulation
greatly beyond this point must be hurtfIsl
This is a general law. Gum chewing
stimulates the salvary glands vastly be
yond their normal limit, and the result
must be injurious.
The constant swallowing of saliva in a
sort of churned state carries into the
stomach large amount of air, which be-
comes a source of discomfort and often of
positive injury. 1t must be remembered
that air swallowed in this way becomes
greatly expanded by internal heat.
Muscles are enlarged by use. Witness
the blacksmith's arm as compared with
that of the scholar Witness also the
enormous muscles of the athlete. Now the
normal use of the masseter muscles tends
only to keep them in proper working con
dition; but their overuse in gum chewing
must tend to their undue enlargement and
thus to the designation of the face

The Onerntnr Was Rnsv.

1t has been the custom among shop and
counting house employees from time imme-
mortal to play practical jokes upon new
corners, such as sending them after white
lampblack or a round square or to ask
some similar paradoxical question.
The big operating department of the
Western Union telegraph Office on Broad
way is no exception to this ancient diver
sion Many of the knights of the key are
fond of such jokes, and a recent one was at
the expense of a little check girl who did
not realize the importance of no less a per-
sonage than Jay Gould himself
Jay Gould and Mr. Eckert and others of
the Western Union company had occasion
to consult with Manager Dealey, and when
the group entered the room and were talk
ing with the latter gentleman a facetious
operator sent the little girl over with a
message to the 'short gentleman with the
black whiskers." The little one marched
bravely up to the group and, in answer to
a kindly "Well, dear?" from Jay Gould,
said
'Mr. -, of the race wire, says he is busy
and cannot see you until he is off duty"
Jay Gould said, Very WE'LL" and the
little girl skipped about with her usual
ightheartedness.- New York Telegram.

A Fatality Averted.

The passengers on Third avenue street
car recently were suddenly shaken nearly
off their seats by the full stop of the car
The driver was seen to gesticulate wildly
as he put all his muscle into the brake

The horses were seen TO rear up on their
hind legs and shy off the track. The pas
sengers were in state of panic and made
frantic efforts to crowd through the doors
just ahead of the horses and within two
feet Of their noses IA long black wire dan
gled across the tracks, twisting to and fro.
Don't 90 near IT," yelled the conductor,
and the crowd fell back Then the driver
and II policeman held a council of war,
which resulted in the former getting long
pole. Approaching the deadly wire eau
tiously he grasped lie pole at the extreme
end and showed the threatening obstruc-
ton gently aside While he held it off the
conductor drove the frightened horses past
the spot, and thus a fatality was averted
Meanwhile great crowd had gathered,
but Mt distance of fully fifty feet from
the wire. Suddenly "A little man elbowed
his way through their midst and APP

heed his supplications. He stretched out

Fried OYSTERS by the Foot.

Pliny mentions that, according to the
historians of Alexander's expedition,
oysters a foot in diameter were found in
the Indian seas, and Sir James Z. Tennent,
was unexpectedly enabled to corroborate
the correctness of this statement, for at
Kottier, near Trincomalee, enormous spec
linens of edible oysters were brought to
the rest house. One measured more than
eleven inches in length by half as many in
width. But this extraordinary measure
ment is beaten by the oysters of Port Lin
coin, in South Australia, which are the
largest edible ones in the world
They are as large as a dinner plate, and
of much the same shape, They are some
times more than a foot across the shell,
and the oyster fits his habitation so well
that he does not leave much margin. 1t is
a new sensation when a friend asks you to
lunch at Adelaide to have one oys. err fried
in butter, or eggs and bread crumbs, set
before you; but it is very pleasant ex-
perience, for the flavor and delicacy of the
Port Lincoln mammoths are proverbial
even in that land of luxuries. Oysters and

announces that the object is ''the purely
defensive one of enabling the French troops

that the construction of such a railway

of Italy to respect it.

Smoking Anects the Evesirbt.

A smoker may suffer from arrangement
of the eyesight, consequent upon inham-
nation of the optic nerves, tobacco amau-
rosis," as it is sometimes called. For a
long time oculists differed in regard to
the existence of such disease, and was
among the doubters but | believe there
is now no difference of opinion among
those who make speciality of diseases of
the eye, and l have for several years been
convinced from actual experience of the re-
ality of Inflammation of the optic nerves
caused by the excessive use of tobacco, sew
eral cases of the kind having come under
my own immediate observation.
In all of these, as soon as the victims
ceased to smoke, the optic nerves began to
assume healthy appearance, the vision to
improve, and eventually the sight to be en-
tirely restored. In one case the use of to-
bacco was resumed and shortly afterward
the vision again began to fail, to be a sec
ond time restored on the patient entering
upon course of entire abstinence.-Dr

Cold Waves Described.

A cold wave, as defined by Professor 7.
Russell, is a fall of temperature in twenty
four hours of 20 dogs. over an area of 3d.
900 square miles, the temperature in some
parts of this area descending to SO degs.
Between 1880 and 1890 no less than sol cold
waves were recorded in the United States.
In the great cold wave of Jan. IL, 1882, the
fall of 20 degs. extended over an area Of
1,10l square miles, and the fall of 10 dogs.
included en- area of 100000 square miles.
In six cold waves of the ten years the area
of the fall of 20 dogs. was more than 1,0O0,-
900 square miles Cold waves follow day
after an area of low pressure, or occur to
the southeast of an area of high pressure,
attaining their greatest extent when both
conditions are present together. They oc-
cur only, however, in the presence of an
area of high or low pressure.-New York

Explosions due to coal dust have of late
years been so frequent in the coal mines
of Germany that machine has been in
vented to dampen the bank several feet in
advance of the working. Holes are drilled
and pipes inserted in which are minute
orihces; then by pressure the bank is wet
ted. 1t appears that in the Camphausen
colliery pressure of from eight to ten
atmospheres and injection through two
tubes in eight hours proved sufficient to
impregnate by l by II meters, and in
another case, that of the Refrigerator
cOlliery, the water forced in under a pres
sure of twenty atmospheres during six
teen hours moistened thoroughly the coal
as far as four meters above the highest hole
In carrying out this method primary re-
gard is to be paid to the water pressure
obtainable, the quantity of the water in
iected and the firmness of the seam, the
latter depending somewhat on the size Of
the coal pillars in the workings.

some boys whom he found playing near the
Washington statue there.

group of ragged urchins, who is that gen

The boys looked vaguely about, and one
asked briskly:
"What gentleman, sir?"
"The one up there on the bronze horse. F"
"Oh that's George Washington" was
the concerted reply. and the gentleman
walked away, feeling that he had not

A Quiet Convention.

There was a congress at Hanover, Ger
many, recently at which not an angry word
was spoken, there was no applause, and
such dead silence prevailed that the casual
visitors ears ached. 1t was congress of
deaf mutes, the first ever held in Germany.
One -"spealSer' Tor gestirulator) stated
that there are about 10000 deaf mutes in
Germany who had mostly to work hard
for their bread. 1t was to be regretted
that many employers refused to take them
into their service. Technical schools on
the pattern of those existing in the United
States, where also grammar schools and
even universities existed at which deaf
mute teachers were employed, should be
introduced into Germany.
Another Speaker" pleaded for the edu-
cation of deaf mute travelling preachers, so
that their fellows might enjoy the benefits
of divine service in their language. The
most important subject discussed was as
to whether the new method of lip reading
or the old language of gesture was to be
preferred. One speaker pointed out to at
tempt to converse altogether by reading
the lips would not do on account of the
great fatigue and exertion caused by in
cessantly watching the mouth of the
speaker, which had an almost hypnotic
effect. Both methods, he thought, should
