The Gum We Chew.

The guu.chewing public may(?) be
pleased to learn that but little of the
stuff which it industriously masticates
is really gum, or in any way related
to that vegetable product. The basis
of the daintily wrapped, nicely favored
and howery-named compounds which
are "rolled as a sweet morsel under the
tongue" (and carefully stuck on the
bedpost or under the table when not in
active pse) is residuum left in the re-
fining of coal oil. Only about $500
poundsof genuine spruce gum obtained
from the trees are secured each year;
the rest of the supply is the petroleum
product, which comes cheaper and is
more readily obtained. The gatherers
of spruce gum, who used to make from
81 to So per day, now do not average
over twenty or thirty cents pound,
the little round clear bits being worth
81 per pound, the remainder ranging
down to ten cents. When the supply
is large, the price sometimes falls to
three or four cents, at other times a
scarcity makes it worth fifty or sixty
cents. The gum can only be secured
in winter, and is not valuable until it is
several years old.

New Way to Kill Mosquitoes,

If electricity may be found useful in
favoring the growth of plants under
suitable conditions, may it not also be
found useful in limiting the number of
insect pests? Who is there that, in en-
joying the cool evening air on a COM
Portable piazza in summer, has not
been driven to shelter indoors and be-
hind wire netting by the bloodthirsty
mosquito? How powerless we have
felt in the presence of this pest! And
the careful housekeeper has wished
that the nuisance of the omnipresent
house-6y might be abolished or miti-
gated. Worthy people of generous mo-
tives have even tried to attribute GER
tain usefulness to such pests, but others
have given them bad names as spread
ers of disease germs. They are GER
tainly not to be classed as moral agents,
but rather the reverse. Now, let us as
sumo that we make netting of a warp
of fine metal wires and welt of silk
threads, arranging it 80 that every al
ternate wire is respectively connected
to the positive and negative pole of a
small induction coil capable of giving q
small spark and yet of insufficient force
to pass from wire to wire in the fabric
1t is safe to say that an insect, such as

ChiIdren's Diet.

believe that many of our thin and
pale children who have tendencies to
colds and sore throats, and many others
who are irritable would be greatly
benefited by the continued and judi
cious use of fat in some digestible
form, such as fat bacon, the use of
cream on bread and baked potatoes, as
we'll as by bountilul supply of good
butter. All of these fats will be more
dgestible if well sub-divided, hence we
spread butter on our bread and may
use bread crumbs or potatoes with fat
bacon. Chocolate or cocoa is also use
full for fat provider. But these highly
nutritious articles must be mixed with
less concentrated food or the digestive
organs will be overtaXed, and so we
must give the children starch, which is
another form of carbon. Rice, potatoes
and refined flour are good examples of
this food stuff. The proportion that
starchy food should bear to albumen
and fatty foods is much greater in the
diet of an adult than in that of child.
An adult takes about three times as
much starchy food as of the other two
combined but child requires more Of
the albumen and fat, propOrtionately
and therefore somewhat less starch
than the above. Too many children
receive an excess of starchy and toe
little albuminous and fatty food. This
tends to induce ar1mia, to form bone
poorly and to reduce nerve strength
Many children, for instance, are al.
lowed to make an entire breakfast upon
griddle-cakes made of fine wheat flour
which is so refined as to have lost the
larger part of its nuirtive elements eX
cept starch, with molasses added. Here
is an entire meal furnished to little
active body which contains hardly 6
vestige of nitrogen, or muscle-makers
and very little of other most important
nerve foods, and on this poor meal the
child must study the whole morning
Such food will not make Drawn anC
brain for our children. dr.. BiSSeU

Hints on Conversation.

IL has been recently stated that con-
versation is a lost art. Certainly the
listener appears to be out of date. Per-
sons who have regard for the usages of
polite society should remember that
listening is one of the canons of good
manners. Observation-Disclosures is i'm
polite. Every one is entitled to fair
share of attention paid him when con-
versing. If one is bored, courtesy de-
mands he should still listen, and appear
to appreciate the story that is related on
the subject under discussion. A writer
on social etiquette once remarked that
nine times out of ten the attentive
listener is more admired than the most
brilliant talker." Avoid in conversation
all mention of your own affairs. The
clever woman guards her hearthstone,
its sorrows, troubles and annoyances,
as carefully as she does the sacredness
of her religion. The world admires
your cheerfulness, YOUR attract;veness,
your brightness. Your griefs belong
to yourself. They are your inner life,
which should be closed with iron por-
tails. Even if your heart break, recol-
lect the critical public at all times likes
a smiling face and cheerful manner

All through the remainder of the
night Patton kept watch, with his little
dog lying near; the enemies lurking
around, preparing to kill them, plumber
their house and burn it, while their
weeping friends were terror-stricken
and anxious to fee. In the morning
the welcome cry, Sail, hol" "Sail,

shore. A vessel, the Blue Bell" was
in the offing, and that night Mr.. Patton
and Mathieson and his wife were on
board boat, and the next night they
were on board the " Blue Bell sailing
for Aneityum.
But the gospel planted in Tanna was
not preached in vain. The good seed
took root, and in the closing months OF
1891 house of Christian worship was
erected in Tanna, and on the 2Sth OF
October it was dedicated to the worship
of Almighty God, amid the rejoicing
and gifts of those who had been brought
from the darkness of cannibalism to
the light of the knowledge of the glory
of God in the face of Jesus Christ

Can False Teeth be Made to Grow

They can, according to DR.. Znam-
ensky, a Russian dentist, residing in
Moscow, who has been for some time
experimenting on dogs and cats and
human beings. DR.. Znamensky claims
to be able, by his process, to cause false
teeth to adhere as firmly t0the jaws as
those with which we are provided by
nature. After drilling a hole in the
false tooth, and corresponding one in
the jaw bone, he inserts the tooth in
the cavity, and il twenty-four hours
a soft, granular, semi-huid substance
makes its way from the jawbone into
the hole drilled in the tooth. This
soon hardens, and the tooth remains
firmly in position.

MISCELLANY.
Romance in Whittier's Life.

whittier's poem, "In School Days" Is
one with which even the school children are
familiar. Some way the sweet verses are
very easy to learn by heart, and when they
are once committed to memory they have a
way of lingering there long after the school
children have become grown men and
women. 1t is said that the one romance OF
Whttier's life was woven about the tangle.
haired girl who long years ago had said she
loved him. and Whittier's bachelor life is
traced by those who love romance to his
love.for her. Iconoclasts take pleasure in
Contradicting and ridiculing this story; but
those who believe in it are much happier In
their belief than are those who deny 1t in
their historical accuracy.
IN SCHOOL DAYS.
stn sits the school-house by the road,
A ragged beggar summing;
Around 1t still the sumachs grow
And blackberry vines are running.
Within the masters desk is seen.
Deep SCARED by raps official
The warping floor. the battered seats,
The Jacknlfe's carved initial,
The charcoal frescoes on its wall;
Its doors worn still, betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school.
Went storming out to playing,
Long years ago a winters san
Shono over 1t q setting;
Lit up Its western window panos
And low caves icy fretting.

And brown eyes full Of grieving
OF one who still her steps delayed
When all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy.
Her childish favor singled,
His cap pulled low upon face
Where pride and shame were mingled
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left, he fingered,
AS restlessly her tiny hands
The bluechecked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes, he felt
The soft hands light csressing,
And heard the trembling of her voice,
As II a fault confessing,

Because" the brown eyes lower fell
Because, you see, I love youl"
Still memory to a gray-haired man
That sweet child face Is showing.
