Within the past month the mara
time journals have contained the ad.
vertisements of three ships and barks
and two briggs offered for sale by their
owners Immediately upon their return
from their voyages. The presumption
is that these vessels will be dis
masted and join the increasing list of
coal barges recruited from the ranks
Of the old square riggers. This proc
ess, which has been going on steadily
for many years past. appears TO be
more rapid than ever of late, says the
New York Post. Between 1894 and
the present time the number of yes
sells of this class under the American
flag has decreased from 633 to 200.

Gum Chewing Statistics.

There Is now being passed about q
collection of facts about the chewing
gum industry which is uncomfortable
reading for the fastidious. The Amer
lean man. woman and child, 1t ap-
pears, chews on an average ten one
cent sticks of gum every year. The
allowance would be somewhat larger
If infants below the gum-chewing age
be excluded. This consumption OBJ
viously means net chewing-gum bill
OF $S,000.000 a year. The chewing of
gum is an undisputed American Gus
tom, yet the production of chewing
gum is not only foreign industry,
but was deliberately made such, SO
far as the raw material is concerned,
after the native. home industry, prod
uct had been rejected Spruce gum
gathered In Maine was the original
chewing gum. It has still kept place
for itself, but subordinate one. Then
sweetened wax came into use. 1t was
a pure American invention and patri-
otto stuff to chew. But the Mexican
chicle. introduced originally as sub
eutute for India-rubbcr, was turned to
this use some 80 years ago, and has
practically driven its rivals from the
market.

The Silent Opinion.

Most men have some silent opinions
about women and most women about
men. There are certain types OF face,
certain kinds of manner, certain
methods of expression even, for which
many men and women are utterly
condemned in the minds of some of
their brothers and sisters. A DISPOSE
ton to dislike certain types of face
is at times SO strong as to suggest a
previous existence. We do not openly
say that all women with such and
such eyebrows are hard hearted or
that man must be a charlatan IL the
color Of his eyes and hair contradict
each other: but we act continually
upon notions hardly less unreasonable.
Educated men with small vocabular.
les, for instance, are divided as a rule
by clever women into fools by birth
and self-made fools, according to
whether their want Of equipment be
ascribed to nature or to affectation.
To the first they are Indifferent; 10
the latter they have almost always a
more or less active dislike. Such men
are often able, fact their own sex
invariably recognize The man whose
words are few and ill chosen may be
a man of prompt and reasoned action,
who having been brought up among
the silent wise or the garrulous silly
deprecates the waste of pains occas.
Toned by the game of talk. All mental
athletics bore him just as physical
athletics bore others. In the same
way, says the London Spectator, the
fact that man pretends to know no
more words than savage may be O
matter OF awkward though genuine
humility-a fear of pretending to a
culture he does not possess-or an act
of superficial conformity to a passing
fashion among a small set 1t may
have no more to do with his real mind
than an ugly figure or an i4l-cut coat.
Circumstances will sometimes con-
vince even clever woman Of these
facts so far as given man is con-
cerned, but she will never alter her
silent opinion as to the generality.
Clever women are very hard on the
men they imagine to be fools. Able
men. on the other hand, are not at all
hard on women they know to be stu
pid. Where youth and beauty are con-
cerned the fact is easily understood:
but youth and beauty by no means ex-
plain the whole Of this phenomenon.
Many men are inclined to think that
the kind of mental power in women
which we colloquially call brains ex-
lists In inverse ratio to their common
sense and serves only to carry them
with fatiguing rapidity through verbal
fallacies to false conclusion.
