Cum Chewing in London.

The British Medical Journal has
taken up the question of gum chewing
and says: THE question has been
raised whether there is any reason for
supposing that the practice of gum
chewing. so prevalent in the United
States. is on the increase in this coun-
try. We have made some inquiries and
have ascertained that many young
women-siudents. actresses and others
appear to have acquired the disgust
ing habit. and are inveterate chewers.
We have examined specimens of chew
ing gum obtained from various fashion
able sweet shops in London, and find
as rule that it consists of rubber fla
sored with aniseed or peppermint or
some other aromatic substance"

DIS
OF
Children.

Hundreds OF children die during the
first twelve months from lack of proper
care, food and hygienic surroundings.
The healthiest and strongest babies, as a
rule. are those that are brought up on the
mothers breast. All other forms of milk
or food preparations, although there are
many good ones, cannot take the place of
natures food.
very great majority of infants lives
are placed in jeopardy through the care
iessness of the nurse or mother, and thro'
giving the child such medicines as will
cause it to sleep. Nearly ell these so called
soothing syrups contain certain amount
of opium, which acts upon the nervous
system OF the child and renders it more ir :
ritable and lays the foundation for a deli
cate constitution.
Babies need but little medicine; bu.
what they do need is to be kept clean and
dry and given proper rest, fresh air and
mothers milk, if possible.

Weddings on Saturday.

For many years society has accepted
as unreasonable fact the idea that II
there was any day particularly inappro-
PIRATE for a wedding. it was Saturday.
Now. all of a sudden, ii is understood
that to be married on the last day Of
the week is absolutely correct, and
many of the most important weddings
In the East have been set for that lay.
What has brought about this change
OF feeling among the brides can hard
ly be told. Besides the prejudice tina
has always existed against Saturday
itself, 1t has long been the custom TO
have marriages take place in the early
part of the week. Tuesday and Wednes-
day have been very favorfte days. Only
those people as n rule who have been
Indifferent to public opinion have ever
even thought of getting married during
the latter half of the week. This sud
den making of Saturday as the fash
ionable wedding day of the spring and
early summer is. therefore, little short
of remarkable. and is occasioning a
great deal of talk.

NEW FADS FOR THE FOURTH

Written for the Sunday Standard.
New York. June 27.-In the patriotic
blaze of fireworks that will make the
coming Fourth of July more glorious
than a score of its predecessors rolled
into one, the war with Spain will be the
basis Of the chief pyroteehnical novel;
ties. At the monster celebrations
there will be representations of the
bo~mbardment of Santiago and San
Juan. with real guns laundering from
the decks OF real ships. and shore bat
teries blazing away with all the grand
eur Of real war except the deadly mis-
siles. The destruction of the Spanish
fleet at Manila will be shown in the
most picturesque name that the ar
fist in fireworks can devise, and Hob
sons great feat will be illustrated
nightly in realistic fashion to the ac-
compartment of bursting bombs and
terrific applause.
The fireworks men have new and
stirring events upon which to base their
fiery representations. and the Mexican
and civil wars. which have done such
good service for so many years, can be
laid away for the time being.
Besides the set pieces, in which patri-
otto sentiments appropriate TO this sea-
son of victory for American arms with
be blazed forth. there will be novelties
OF endless variety called by names that
are intended TO tempt the enthusiastic
head of a family to scatter his savings

July in a shower Of sparks ara multi
colored explosions.

opportunities for playful punning to be

shower OF fine sparks following in its
train. and bursts with an explosion that
sends small bombs in every direction,
to fill the air with smaller explosions.

TAILOR MODES FOR MIDSUMMER.
