Gum Chewing and Lunacy.

Who would have thought that doc.
tors would countenance the practice of
gum chewing? Yet here is the news
from st. Paul that the Minnesota State
Board of Control includes chewing
gum in the list of supplies for insane
asylums, as its use is often found to
have excellent effect upon patients,
soothing them during violent spells,
and enabling them to concentrate their
minds upon various forms of work.
Doubtless it is the muscular, not the
secretory, activity that produces the
beneficial result. The secretory activ-
ity may deplete the salvary glands,
and thus prove prejudicial to diSes-
tion. Insane people are nervous, and
almost every one inclined to nervous
ness has discovered that there are
forms of fldgeting which enable him
to relieve the tension upon his nerves
and help him to concentrate his atten-
ton.
Many n lawyer and many an orator
would be at a loss In speaking II he
could not twiddle his watch chain or
twirl his eyeglasses. Many travelling
man and many politician would lose
his reputation for ease Of manner in
conversation If deprived OF the cigar
he gracefully puffs in the intervals Of
his talk. And the fan! What mistress
of coquetry would be willing to sur
render her fan?
But while gum chewing may relieve
the fidgets in the case OF those who do
the chewing, the sight of 1t Is likely
to give the fldgets to other people
obliged to look on.-Milwaukee Even

HOW WOMEN CARRIED KANSAS.
Like vcritable Politicians They Swooped
Dawn on the Polls.

Down on the Polls.
What women with the elective fran
.hise can do when they make up their
minds to get control of the schools is
we'll illustrated by the returns from
.he school district elections in Kansas.
The returns also tend to destroy the
renerable, tlme-worn tradition to the
effect that women cannot keep n se-
ret, and hence are untitled for politics.
1pon which the women achieved their
sictory were kept secret in each dis
.rlct until the day of balloting. In
credible as this may seem, it appears
% be abundantly affirmed by the dis
patches from the Sunflower State.
The platform on which the women
luletly conducted a winning fight de-
.lared In favor of wiping out the OBJ
iectionable provisions of the State
;eachers' contracts, which prohibited
teachers from receiving calls from
heir admlring male friends during the
school term and provided for forfeit
Ire of a portion of their salaries if the
women married before the end of the
;chool terms.
That such provisions could be incor-
)orated in teachers contracts in such

school boards, where the men We're in
control. were disposed to enforce them

hat these boards intended incorporat-
ng these senseless provisions in the

And, like clever politicians. they
Iwooped down on the polls in the after

will attempt to use the schools as an

Feminine Dupiicity.

A young man visited his girl west OF
town on Sunday evening. After they
had talked several hours he declared
his intention of kissing her. She was
apparently indignant, and said she
would tell her father. Remembering
that faint heart never won fair lady
the young man was not dismayed, and
succeeded In planting kiss behind her
left ear. To make good her threat the
young woman arose hastily and
walked TO the kitchen. Papa" she
said innocently, "Mr. NJ. wants TO see
your new gun" "All right! All right|
said the old man, delighted with a
chance to show 1t. Taking it from the
rack he stepped into the parlor. The
young man broke four window panes
in getting out, and when last seen was
still running bareheaded up the road In
the direction Of town.-Gardner Qll)

Keeping the Mouth Well Formed.

No one will deny either the scarcity
or the charm of beautiful mouth, but
among all the aids of beauty one sell
dom finds any lore pertaining to the
cultivation of this feature. Many 9TH
erwise beautiful women have certain
habits and tricks of curving and purs-
ing the lips that render them for the
time more than plain. Children ac.
quire habits early in life of twisting
their mouths or Of stretching them or
stuffing them with various articles that
leave their unpleasant traces in after
life. Parents and guardians should
strike to correct all grlmaclng and
grinning propensities. The habit of
sucking the under lip is often contract
ed in babyhood and should be promptly
broken.

Useful Wraps For This Season.

Il line and plisse frill of soft mousseline

New York Mail and Express, too, that
both the coats and capes, though made
to fasten, are intended to be worn
little open, so as to show the soft
blouse or front of the bodice beneath.
and nearly all the dressy gowns are so
made as to give the long shoulder eff
feet. The skirts. too. are marked by
a strict simplicity that is altogether
charming consisting of three small
shaped frills and q couple of ruchings
of the material.

The English, who are not particular.
ly good dressers, hav1 some excellent
ideas for travelling gowns. An English
tailor has invented a reversible skirt
for women who travel much and like
to carry as little baggage as possible.
The skirt is made of material plain on
one side and checked on the other. 1t
can be worn with either surface upper
most, and thus answers the valuable
purpose of two skirts. Another Eng
lish skirt for mountain wear has but
tons and an arrangement for turning
up the hem for climbing.

women Can Use Tools.

"A woman is not n natural bungler
with a hammer. She is not clumsy
with any kind OF tool. Therefore there
is no reason In the nature of things
why she should not venture to do some

own house." Thus speaks broad and
liberal minded man in the Home Sci

things about women has been their dis
position to believe whatever man mny

sharpening pencils and driving nails

passed upon them by their male critics.

HANNA SAYS THEY
CAN'T FORCE 1T ON HIM.
Doesn't Want the Vice Presidency
and VIII Not Have II.

Cleveland, o.. June 21-In an inter
view to-day Senator NJ. A. Hanna re-
iterated his recent statement that he
was not and would not be a candidate
for the vice presidency, and if the
nomination was made, that he would
decline to accept it. He said further
that his ambitions did not lie in the
direction of the White House, and that
nothing could induce him to alter his
decision in the matter
Col. Myron T. Herrick, whose name
also has been mentioned in connection
with the vice presidency, said that his
sole political ambition was to be elect
ed Governor of Ohio. Col Herrick
thinks that the present discussion rel
alive to vice presidential nomination
is inopportune.
When the refusal of the vice presi-
dental nomination by President
Roosevelt was cited to Mr.. Hanna as
an illustration of how public men
sometimes change their views in such
matters, and when it was intimated
to him that the convention might
force the nomination for the vice pres
idency upon him, Senator Hanna said
that men in public life who know him
know very we'll that nothing can be
forced upon him.
