Secrets of Chewing-Gnm Matters.

A chewing gum factory that claims
the distinction of being the third larg-
est in the world may be found within
the gates of Chicago. Though n is
aot permitted even to glance into the
great room where the clang of ma
,hinery indicates the sacred spot, and
though one cannot converse with the
.iege lord who, locked in his private
office, concocts mixtures to tickle taa
palate of the professional gum chewer,
there are many interesting things to
be heard and seen in the packing de-
partment.
One of the managers laughed aloud
1t the bare suggestion of admittance
being refused on the ground that the
ingredients are injurious.
"Some people actually think" he
said, ''that chewing-gum is made from
bid rubber boots and refuse matter.
The fact is that only pure materials are
1sed, the principal ingredient being
an emulation from q species of rubber
Tree native in Mexico"
"Wha is the appearance of this SUBJ
stauce%
at is a thick brown sap of the con-
sistency and color of maple syrup. We
get it the original state, with particles
IF bark and dirt. This goes through
+. long process of cleaning. Then Of
course the process of making is a pro-
found secret. There is a man in our
employ, by the way, who for twenty
one years has done nothing else but ex-
pertinent on new brands of chewing
gum. No, even a manager could not
take his wife through the factory, SO
are the rules. Each employe
knows only his particular part of the
WORK, so the secret of making, as a
whole, is preserved"

Making Perfumes at Home.

A number of young ladies in Pomona
are engaged at odd times IN making
their own perfumes in this season of
flowers and blossoms. The orange
blossoms androses are more generally
used in preparing perfumery, and the
following IS the method most popular
here:
Procurepiece of glass of the desired
size, and make around that a frame or
sash, allowing the sash or frame to
project two or three inches above the
glass. On the glass spread pure lard,
suet or other animal grease, about a
quarter of an inch thick. Gather the
flowers early in the morning and
the grease on the glass with them.
The next day remove the flowers and
"work up" the grease and put on n
fresh supply of blossoms.
Repeat these operations daily until
the grease is thoroughly impregnated
with the odor of the flowers. Then
'scrape it off with a knife and put it in
a glass jar, to which should be added
enough alcohol or cologne spirits to
cover it. Allow the perfumed grease
and spirits to remain together for two
or three weeks; then filter it through
ordinary filtering paper, and, if sue
c~essful, you will havea perfume almost
equal to the high-priced articles pur-
chased of druggists. Pomona (Cal.)
