CHEWING GUM GETTING SCARCE.
Price of schoolgirls DeIicacy in Raw
Form Soaring.

According to men who make a bust
ness of going into the woods and pick
ing spruce gum for sale in connection
gathering the Jumps is increasing, and
the quantity that an active man can
gather in day of hard work is de-
creasing every year, writes Bangor
(Me.) correspondent.
The best gum-the largest and clear
from pitch-is taken from medium to
large trees that are in vigorous
growth. Very old trees, those pat
riarchs of the woods that tower high
above their neighbors and have ceas-
ed to grow, yield brittle gum, which,
although it looks clear and good,
crumbles in the mouth and leaves a
bitter taste. Young spruces yield a
pitchy gum, which requires years to
become firm and fit to chew. Conse-
quently, the gum harvest must be OBJ
tanned from the middle-aged trees,
and as these are felled in millions ev-
cry year by the lumbermen, the gum
supply is gradually becoming less.
A year ago good spruce gum was
sold in Bangor at $1.15 a pound. This
year the jobbers gladly pay $135 a
pound. Twenty years ago the finest
gum was plentiful here at 40 to 60
cents pound, and a pound is suffi-
cient to supply girls high school
for week. Fifteen cents an ounce
is the retail price in Bangor.
The best gum turns lilac color when
we'll chewed.-Philadelp Record.

A SONG FOR THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

We tread better earth to-day

A broader sky line rounds away
To realms of deeper blue.
More ample is the human right,
More true the human ken;
The law of God has been light
To lead the lives of men.

The marching years aspire.
Across the onward sweep of time
We strain our vision dim,
And all the ages roll and climb
To lose themselves in Him.

The Congressional medal of honor
has so many points of resemblance to
the medal of the Grand Army of the
Republic that one is frequently mis-
taken for the other. For that reason
a new design has been made for the
medal of honor with view of max
ing it more distinctive. 1t is five
pointed star. like the old medal, but
differs from it in many essential fea-
lures. The design was prepared by a
committee selected by Secretary
Root, composed of General Gillespie,
chief of engineers. and General Hor-
ace Porter, United States ambassador
to France. 1t has received the APP
proval oof the Legion of the Medal OF
Honor and many Medal of Honor men.
Congress has been asked to appropri-
ate $4,000 to provide for the manu-
facture of 5000 medals of the new de-
gn.--Washington Post

VOCALISTS WHO WILL SING
TOMORROW NIGHT AT
eSTEINWAY HALL.
Grace Davis Northrup and
Mrs. c. Nicholson to
AXE Part.

An evening song recital of unusual
interest is to be given tomorrow even
ing at Steinway Half by Mrs. Grace
Davis Northrup, soprano, and Mrs.
Carroll Nicholson. contralto, with
Fred Maurer at the piano.
Mrs. Northrup and Mrs. Nicholson
are both we'll known in this city and
around the bay and are ranked among
our best soloists. their singing in con-
cert, orat0rio and church being of the
first order.
Mrs. NorthruD's voice is of the
dramatic order. clear and strong. yet
very sweet and under perfect control
in the lighter fiorid music. Mrs Nichol-
son has a rich, velvety voice, of great
compass, and she sings with marked
shading and intelligence. The fact that
Mr.. Maurer will be at the piano is suf-
ficient evidence that the accompani-
ments will be handled in a mastery
manner and proper support be given
the soloists.
Mrs. Northrup's success in the sta.
bat Mater" presented under Mascagnis
direction during his recent visit here,
her many appearances as soloist at the
Loring Club concerts, the Grand Army
Encampment receptions, Mechanics
Pavilion concerts and oratorio and con-
cert in all of the cities around the bay
have placed her among the favored So
pranos of the vicinity Mrs. Nichol-
sons marked successes in the presenta-
ton of Handels Messiah" and other
leading oratorios in Oakland, her SPLEEN
did rendition Of solos at the recent
Bankers convention reception at the
Art Institute and other large receptions
and concerts have caused her to be re-
garded among the best equipped con-
traltos in our local society.
A rather novel feature of the enter
tainment will be the fact, that several
society young ladies are to officiate in
the capacity of ushers during the even
ing.
The splendid blending of the soprano
and contraltc voices during the even
ing's recital will certainly be noted. as
it has been in the past. when Mrs Nor
thrup and Mrs. Nicholson have ap-
peared together on the same pro-
gramme.
The programme will be as follows:

CHINESE HAVE STRANGE
IDEA OF ANATOMY
Believe the Human Body Contains
Fire. Water, Earth and
SOnfe Metals.


No Chinese representative of the
healing art has ever dissected any por-
ton of the human frame. Accordingly
their ideas off anatomy and physiology
are matters bf faith - confirmed by
images which have been reproduced
during untold centuries. says American
Medicine. Their osteology teaches that
the skull is formed of one bone: so is
the pelvis; the number OF ribs varies
with the individual, and at the junction
of the arm with the forearm is placed
a cubital patella. According to Chinese
splanchology, the small intestine COM
municates with the cavity of the heart.
while the colon, after describing sixteen
circumvolutions, terminates by opening
into the lung. The heart governs the
vital processes = in cooperation with
the cavity of the stomach it supplies
all ideas and all pleasurable sensations.
The liver is the habitat of the soul. and
it is from this gland that all noble and
generous sentiments emanate
The gall bladder is a receptacle of
courage: its ascent in the body is the
cause of a fit of anger. They have
an idea of the continuous motion of
the blood, but it seems to be the pro-
duct of an imagination more riotously
Oriental than even that which created
the other items of their physiologic
knowledge They do not know the pull
monary circulation: they, naturally,
know nothing of the valves in the
veins; they do not even appear to have
quite grasped the motor function of
the heart itself; but they nevertheless
profess to differentiate no less than
seventy-four varieties of pulse-simul-
taneously recognizable on the person
of a single Individual! In its ultimate
structure the body is composed of five
elements-fire, water earth, wood and
metal. Each of these elements is in
a harmonious rapport with the CORE
spending members of the series of five
planets, five metals, five solid viseera,
five colors and five tastes. All diseases
originate from disturbances of the prl-
mary and essential quintic harmonles
