VARIETY IN CHEWING.
Gum and Tobacco Are Not the onl
Materials Utilized

Gum and Tobacco Are Not the Only
Materials Utilized.
Gum chicle, which forms the basis of
most American chewing gums, is by no
means the only chewing material,
though chewing gum has spread over
large portion of the world.
Among the old fashioned the gum of
the spruce tree is still in greater favor,
and druggists near the great spruce
belts drive thriving trade in the brown
Jumps.
Although the chicle comes from the
tropics, it is seldom used us a chewing
gum there, uncured rubber being the
fashion. In Peru 'cuca," or cocoa
leaves, form the staple chew, the plant
being powerful stimulant. since from
its leaves cocaine is extracted. In the
east the betel nut is chewed in prefer
ence, the nut being prepared with lime.
To 1t might be accorded the place of
first prominence, since because of the
congestion of population practically
one-tenth Of the human race give it
their preference
One Of the oldest chews is the leaden
bullet which the English soldier used
to chew before the Introduction OF the
jacketed bullets now in use. They de-
clared that it lessened their thirst and
to some extent deadened their hunger
on long marches.
And then there is tobacco.

II Was Luxury III This Country In
the Eighteenth Century.


II Was a Luxury In This Country In
the Eighteenth Century.
The first newspaper notice that an
nounced the sale of cocoa and chocolate
in America read:
Amos Track, at his house little be-
low the Bell tavern in Danvers, makes
and sells chocolate which he will war
rant to be good and takes cocoa to
grind. Those who may please to favor
him with their custom may depend up
on being well served, and at very
cheap rate"
This notice appeared in the Essex
Gazette Of Massachusetts on the 18th
Of June, 1771, five years before the
signing of the Declaration of Independ-
ence. Despite Mr.. Trask's assurance
that his rate was cheap, chocolate was
very expensive and beyond the purse of
any but the wealthy folk. Wouldn't
they be surprised to see how generally
chocolate is sold these days in packages
as cheap as n penny?
When the Spanish soldier Cortes con-
quered Mexico in 1910 he found the
people very fond of drink called
Chocolate" This was served to the
ruler Montezuma in Il cup of solid gold.
When the Spaniards went home they
introduced this drink into their coun-
try, but 1t remained very expensive.
The secret of its preparation was never
allowed to get out of Spain. Now it is
the cheapest article of food and drink
we have.

"The Grand Old Man.

The Rev. Edward Lloyd Jones Of
Manchester, England. is credited with
having originated the phrase "the
Grand Old Man. as applied to Mr..
Gladstone. During the Irish agitation
it became necessary that detectives
should follow Mr.. Gladstone for the
purpose of protection, and as the Lib
eral leader lived in Hawarden, in
Flintshire. that county, then governed
by quarter sessions, was asked to pay
the bill. The magistrates, nearly all
Tories in those days, objected, where
upon Lloyd Jones, who was than min
lister at Rhyl, promptly called an indig-
nation meeting. He asked lawyer
who was present to state whether, if
the life of common tramp was in
peril, 1t was not the duty of the county
to protect him. The lawyer said that
undoubtedly it was. "Then," shouted
Mir. Jones, IF it is the duty of this
county to protect the beggar at our
doors, are we going to allow the pre-
cious life of that grand old man at Ha-
warden to go unprotected" That
meeting settled the quarter sessions OBJ
jections, and the title stuck.

them draw back, while the master con.
tinued genially kicking his treacherous
legs in the air. Another man came
along and then the great one got up.
This was the explanations: When the
undergraduates were about to set him
on his legs he was at first willing, but

Dignity must be preserved. "Stay,
young men!" he said. 81 will be assist

nctrothnIs In Holland,

In certain parts of Holland when a
young man thinks he loves a girl he
asks her for match to light his cigar
at the door of the beloved ones home
This is done to let the parents know
that something is intended, and If the
visit is repeated and the same thing
occurs no doubt is left in the minds of
the girls parents, and they Immediate
~ proceed to investigate the young
mans character and antecedents.
When he calls a third time, they are
prepared TO give him an answer. If his
suit is looked upon favorably, he is Civ
en- a match. If refused, he produces
his own match, lights his cigar and
walks away. If favorable answer is
given, he steps forward and joins hands
with the girl. While the -enga cement is
by no means settled fact even Mt this
important stage, 1t is stated as truth
that If, on the occasion of the young
mans third visit, his inamorata offers
him a second cigar and he smokes it
in the house the engagement is never
cancelled

Perhaps the queerest city in the
world is that of Nang Harm, the home
of the royal family of Siam. This city's
popularity lies in the fact that 1t is
composed of women and children alone.
1t Is in the center of Bangkok, has high
walls around it, and in its population
of 5000 there is not single man,
though the king occasionally pays d
visit. The name Nang Harm means
"veiled women" There are shops,
markets, temples, theaters, streets and
avenues, parks, lakes, trees and flower
gardens, hall of justice, Judges, exc
cutioner, police. generals and soldiers,
all the positions, official and otherwise,

Finances of Knighthood.

Sordid questions of finance enter
into the consideration OF the eligibility
of these upon whom the British sover-
eign would confer the distinction of
lnighthood, and there are many who
might use the coveted prefix "sir" did
they possess a larger income. 1t is,
roughly speaking, rule that knight
hood shall not be conferred upon any
one who has not an income of at least
$4,000 upon which to maintain his
knightly dignity. while baronet, be-
fore his creation, must not only be
found to have an income Of at least
$4,000 year. but must further be
able to purchase country seat and be
able to suitably provide for his eldest
son. While knightllood, or ennoble-
ment, is a mark Of distinguished merit,
1t is held that its conference would
only cmbarrass those who could not
afford to keep up the dignity of their
station

Deep sea denizens of the northern
waters are all remarkable for their
migratory habits, the herring especial
ly so. These fish approach the New
foundlund littoral to spawn and then
are captured in great quantities, but
this is only during Il few months every
year, while for the remainder they
withdraw to some waters the location
of which has never been determined.
