I. it In thl community. It in o nat urnl nowadays for n Hooslor, al least In tho Hooslor capital, to usk for or of fer a piece of gum. an It was for mi old tlmo Hoosh.-r to request or companlon al'ly offer a "chaw of torhaccor." Kvory body chows. Doctors, law yers, merchants, that picturesque ag gregation, the city council, and the en tire hm hall nine When the hnhlt of chewing gum was confined to "gig gling" school girls It was an object of ridicule. When tho girls' fathers be gun chewing they formulated ingenious excuses for It. Now every body chews nnd nothing Is said. Any one bringing up (he old-time objections Is either ig nored, laughed at or looked upon with Interest as a relic of antiquity. This chewing gum factory Is not a pretentious place One would be like ly to pass It by many times without knowing that a process of wide Interest was going on Inside. Tho Interior is much like that of a confectioner's shop, and thn working is tho same. Tho proceedings start in a Inrge kettlo fitted Into tho top of a stove, ilero the "chicle" is boiled. This Is tho gummy sap of a tropical tree, which Is caught much as maplu sap is taken from trees In tho North. It Is dried by the sun into a brown lumpy sub stance, ibis is the part of tho gum that is most steadfast. It Is what re mains when all the attractive but fickle sweetnesses have departed. It Is also tho part which after an hour or two gives ono's jaws a blase fool ing thnt Is quite rebel ions to the ur gent demands of a hungry stomach. An ample amount of sugar and flavor ing is added to this substance, and when cool it is kneaded ami other wise treated like broad. It is laid on ono of those large smooth stones common to confectioners' shops and printing offices. Here it is smoothed thin by a large polished iron roller, and made still smoother by a wide double roller press. Over the large sheet Is then rolled a rod on which circular knives are arranged at Intervals equal to tho length of tho future stick of gum. These quickly cut the gum into long strips. Tho strips are passed through anothor roller press, whose width Is equal to their width. In one of the rollers are grooves at regular intervals, which are lilted into the roller above, lly these the strips are compressed at a distance equal to the width of a stick of gum. It is thus easy to break the strips into stii'ks. This is done by young ladles, who wrap them in small printed labials, stretch a small baud of rubber about five of them, and place the packages In neat boxes holding one hundred sticks each, such as are seen in (lie drugstores. Five flavors of the gum are made licorice, mint, pine-apple, winter-green and s:irsuparllla. The industry, like every oilier lndiauaHilis enterprise. Is thrifty. -Indianapolis News.

Tho prac tice of scattering trees, shrubs and (low ers promiscuously over the lawn and door yard may have lieen justi liable a generation or two ago, but in this age those who incline to the beautiful, use ful and progressive, group ornamental vegetation so as to give prominence to the landscape and so that teste and or der may prevail, writes a contributor to the Indiana Farmer. When treee, shrubs, etc., are distributed without, design over the lawn, then we have confusion of the whole. Tho center of the lawn netsls to lie given absolutely to grass. Groups of shrubliery and ornamental trees will lind their nlaeaa on the corners, curves and edges ol the lawn while clumps of shade trees anil vines occupy kh iuioiis to suit the grade id the ground. Flowers we would collect, together in masses ny uiem- selvee. By this arrangement we have a erfect lawn, effective shade and flower garden all complete in themselves and all combining int -resting features in the landscape. We would not stop here but would carry order right into the veget able garden and do away with the an cient system of having fruit trees, grapes, lierry bushes, ltowers, herbs, small ik-iIh and liorders disseminated through the vegetable garden. Such tangled masses of varied vegetation not only indicates disorder, butreducce production with an im-nense amount of labor. Let ns have the vegetable ground so the plow and ultivator can pass uninterruptedly lroin end to end, and if we must have straw lierries, trees and Is-rry hushes therein, let them be in straight rows so that the horse can walk between. V hen making the garden let ns sir to it that those veg etables that tone the entire summer to mature la- sown side by side, those that occupy the ground only the first hull ol the summer, by themselves. When those last mentioned vacate the grornd they will leave a compact clearing tor a second ciop of celery, sugar corn, turups, beans, cabbage, etc. Blood in Milk. The presence of blood or red blood corpuscles in the milk ia in dicative ot disorder of the granular sul stance of the udder, which may he of various kinds. The globules or small divisions of the milk glands consist of vesicles which contain the globules of fat that are found in the milk or cellular sub stance, among which the capillary or ex ceedingly hue blood vessels ramify verv closely. As these vesicles break down and decompose to form the milk, carry ing with tin in the fat globules, ami are uuifklv replaced by new structure, it is readily perceived that it is very eiiBy for the capillary vessels, which contribute through the blood both the albuminous matter and the fat globules to form these vesicles, to discharge blood under un favorable ciicumstences by which any injury may be done or any excitement of . i i . i . Uie circulation or iiiiianuuorv or conges tive condition may be produced. Many auses may thus contribute to this detect in the milk, and it is difficult to state, oi even guess, what the causes may De. The remedy is to soothe and allay the excited circulation by cooling, laxative medicine, and emollient and cooling ap plication to the udder. A pound of Bp som suits is generally useful, and warm fomentation of the udder, with a follow ing application of some gentle stimulant, as camphorated soap linnm-m . Don't Stint the Calves. A calf is worth nearly as much as a cow. Not that it will bring as much money, hut at a very small eutluy it will la) brought to a cow, and if well fed and cared for it w ill make a good cow. The best of all grain foods for a calf is bran, and although the stand ard feeding tallies give rye bran a higher value than wheat bran, the latter is con siderably the better food. Wheat bran contains more than three per cent, oi sugar, and rye bran less than one per cent. Sugar being wholly digestible and easily changed iuto vital heat, wheat bran ib a good bald tor young animals in the winter. At the same price per pound as corn it is worth twice as much, not mil v for its nitrogen, hut for the phosphates it contains and which go to make up bone. This is the reason ol its high value for hading young sUs'k, colts and pigs as well as calves. It is a safe food. No on.- ever hurt his animals by giving them too much bran. It has every element of hay and corn combined, but while it is good i I it should Iks used judiciousiy. a can six or eight months old will do well on two pounds daily of it. which. Bting '2 cents, is very cheap feeding. The very la-st of the hay should be re served for the calves, and with bran it will cause the young things to grow steadily. Tall and Dwarf Peas. There are those with round and those with wrinkled Beeils. Tie- round seeded are theearhest and hardest. A familiar variety is Dan iel O'Rourke, known also as early Ken tish, and by as many other names as there are seedsmen, each one ol w hich has ins Karliest of All. most of which are essentially the same. Of the wrinkled kinds Champion of Bngjaad is the best known, the standard with which all others will la? compared. The Telephone is very large and tine. Laxtou'l Alpha is the earliest of wrinkled m-as. ami verv satisfactory for miner crops. All of these need sticks or some kind of tr.llisfor Btipiairt, as they grow three feet or more m Height, in view of the trouble of pro- urmg brush and staking the hiller kinds, dwarf kinds are verv namnla The vines are from 10 to IS inches high and ntiuire no staking. The tiest of these is the American Wonder, and there are numbers of others. Some of these yield their whole crop at one nieJkina and the ground may then be cleared oli lor a small garden.

Geese are taught with little trouble where they must stav, and thev iu run in a pasture where there is plenty of water and grass, growing rapidly without other fowl. The goslings will do better if fed a little corn meal, mixed in dough and salted, every night and morn ing unnl fully feathered. After this they will get their owa living. Geese may tie picked om-e in six weeks, la-gin-n.ng tlie firet of May. Thev should hot ,".ke,, S? th,m ar- Goslings usually aril at $1 a head alive when three months old.

Whet, he comes back to her, however, battered, bandaged and smelling strong of iodoform and bal sam, she, is just as proud of himui votnun can bo of n man. For eleven months of the year, how ever, the waitress' daily life is a hard and dreary routino. She gets ridicu lously Btnall wages for working four teen or fifteen hours oach day. Often enough sho receives only the small tip of the persons she serves. Sometime! she must pay for the privilege of re. tabling these tips. She must remem ber an infinite number of details. She must know tho owners of every one ol threescore or more beer mugs on the shelves at the head of the big room.

Of course, all German wait resses do not always remember nil these details, but a typical German waitress rarely forgets one of them. The German waitress is a pitfall tor foreigners.

A German waitress, howover, pockets an Ameri can's ten-cent gratuity without turning a hai r, al though she may have expected only a cent or two from him. A tip of twelve or thirteen cents she regnrdi as evidence that the young man who gives it is very evil-minded or a fooL In short, she accepts all kindnesses and consideration in much the -same way a a Third avenue shop girl accepts the seat a man offers her in an elovnted railway car. Men who know the Ger man waitress well are very fund of her. Foreigners who do not know hir at all are still fonder of her. Every one else fights shy of her. N. Y. Sua. Where Salt is Taxed.
