Few people have any realization of

They know that children love the
sticky morsel that keep their Jaws in
motion, but the extent to which their
elders induige a similar fondness It
generally unsuspected. Women are
not proof against the sod actions of the
penny package, and hosts of men, who
hide the little wail when threatened
with dise ivery, are wont to "slip their
small change in the hand of boyish
vender of tolu and paraffiue delights.
8u 'h Is the testimony of dealers,
wlv.ai; aser;oii finds occasional proof
in the observations of every one. Chew
ing women may l aeen in stores, on
street cars, and even on the promenade.
They are so addicted to the habit that
even in public they can not forsate it
exercie. Hut these are exceptional de
votees. Many more indulge the tsute
in private, secretly enjoying what they
blu.thlngly confess or hide from every
eye. The masculine chewnr must have
somet'iing' in his mouth; perhaps be
cause ho is trying to escape from the
thrrilhlom of tobacco, or because he
finds it a soothing aid to reflection. It
would le amusing to find on under
sides of somber d.wks the evidences of
such a childish taste, but the discovery
might easily lie made by any curious
investigator. '
To meet this want vast amounts of
gum are annually manufactured. One
large firm in Elgin, with a branch in

one hundred girls to wrap the little
packages. They keep In Hoi k :!0.000

is the largest manufactory in the
country, ttiere are numerous others
that do a good business and that swell

Though there are innumerable varie
ties of gum. differing elrctly in flavor
ing and appearance, there are several
kinds that are wholly distinct Of these,
the white or psrntllne gums and the
darker-colored tolu gums are made in
largest quantities. All white varieties
are made of parafline, an article re
quiring no dcscript'oii. Tolu gums are
the product of balsa in tolu and the
chicle tree. The latter is found in
Mexico. It yields a rubber-like rum,
called chide, that can be easily chewed.

is yielded by thn balsam tree that bears

Manufacturers report a steadily In
creasing demand for their wares
throughout the country. This is espe

gum-chew iug is supplanting the old

Every one of these doors creaks so

exclaimed a tired housekeeper, who win
trying to rest a little after the labor ot

the first, perhaps It was the twentieth
time she had made the tame, or a simi

doors, when with the aid of a bottle of
oil and a feather she might have mode
them swing noiselessly and saved her
self tit the annoyance she had suffered.
It is a great deal easier to make sug
gestion than to follow them; but it
seems to me that tho "golden ntle" for
housekeeper might be this; "If any
thing go wrong for which there Is a
remedy, apply it as soon as posaible; if
there is absolutely no remedy do not
fie hut make the best of it."

that perhaps I put too much anxiety

The galley, a long, low, narrow ves
sel of war, having sails, but chiefly
propelled by rows of oar on each side,
was ued as a part of the f eet of f.11
maritime nations from the earliest his
toric time down to near the close ot
the eighteenth century. The vessel
ilrcw but little water and was especially
convenient for coast service; but the
advancement in the art of navigation,
and especially the Improvements In
gunnery, at last put an end to this das
of ship, which, it was said, "had domi
nated the maritime world for over throe
thousand years." In th most ancient
times to row in the galleys was consid
ered honorable; but as the work was
very laborious and it was difficult to pro
cure voluntary recruits for it, the ancient
nations used to put their pnoners ot
War to this service. Then it be-
came customary to condemn criminals
to the work. In tho middle ages the
galley rowers were convict and infidel
prisoners, wh wero chained to the
lienchcs. The Turk retaliated, and
put captured Christians to the same
lalor. In r ranee, Spain and the
Italian republics during the sixteenth
and seventeenth oenturies the galley
were used as the means of punishment
for all criminals; even those who had
committed capital crimes were thus
utilized Heretics were particularly
sought out for this purpose, and in
Franco vagrants, beggar, poachers,
etc, wore employed, and, as even all
these did not sullice to man the benches,
slaves wero bought from the Turk,
negroes were brought from fJuinea,
and In. linns were kidnaped in the New
World. Galley slaves were ibjectcd
to the greatest Indignities and cruellies.
Their heads and faces were shaved,
they were always chained to thoir
benches, and tlmy rowed entirely
naked, being only allowed to wear
clothing whon in port They wera
seldom released, even whe.i t;ioir time
of service was accomplished. Henry
IV. ordered tho captains of nil galleys
to rc'a:ii prisoi'a s for six year, even
although condemned for a shorter time,
and under Louis XIV. g-illey slaves
sentenced for only two or thr.e years
were often retained for fifteen years
and more. Criminal preferred mutila
tion and even death to labor In tho
galleys. The galleys In France were
