Jgtita nml Vhiido of l ITn How Women
Can Do M Innlonnry Work nt Home.
One of the chief responsibilities de
volving upon the summer tourist is in
Jo line of missionary work. Uneon
iclouAly, whether she will or no, this
duty Is thrust upon her. Strangely
enough, though. It is not In the Inter
ests of her fellow tourists. U la the in
habitants of the various places that she
wlsils who are so benefited; those indi
viduals who, having all their lives long
Jwelt within n stone's throw of the ob
lects of Interest which the tourist has
come so far to see, are as grossly Ignor
ant of thorn as well, as the tourist is
at the objects of Interest In her own
town. The curious part of It Is that
these aborigines are so satisfied with
their Ignorance. They positively prldo
themselves upon It. At one resort this
summer a New York woman spent
much of her time In enlarging upon the
fact that though she could see the Met
ropolitan museum from her home yet
she had never bo much as crossed its
threshold. She was a woman, too, not
devoid of appreciation. She had scaur
sd every art gallery In Europe with en
thusiasm. The Metropolitan was simp
ly too near a neighbor to have any In
terest In; that waa all. The average
Philadelphia that one meets has never
ret foot In Independence hall. A maj
ority of the Bostonlans one met this
summer were barely aware of the elll
iBlence of the Shaw monument. "Real
ly," said a westerner, who had so
planned her summer trip that it am
ounted to a pilgrimage to the Shaw
monument more than anything else,
"1 spent most of my time in enlighten
ing Bostonlans upon that monument.
Those few that had seen It knew noth
ing alwut It. One Beacon street cam
era fiend recalled It with an 'Oh, I
know what you mean now. It's that
thing that they don't allow you to
photograph unless you promise not to
sell the pictures.' " The glass flowers
at Agnssiz hall, Cambridge, that repre
sents the rarest contributions to botan
ical study in the world, are another
thing upon which the bean-eaters are
preternaturally Ignorant. A year or so

ing ullicer turned to the visitor and
uiit: "Now, Mrs.Blunk, you ore from
Boston; you will tell iu all that has
been left unsaid about these wonderful
Cowers, won't you?"
It was a trying moment for the Bos
ton woman. Never In all her life had
sne no much ua heard of the (lowers
until that afternoon, rminh less Been
them. She managed to gasp out In a
my-i'.oiib'e aiid-how-ho-utidid-me style,
however, that "so much has been said,
and, on the whole, so well said," etc.

The Intelligent middle-uged womaa
Is a in ok t excellent person to have
around If she Is deft-hunded, quick
witted unci interesting. Hut most middle-aged
women ure given to retro
spection, if they have to earn -their
ow:i living there Is a fecll.ig of disaffec
tion uinl disappointment that seriously
inteileies with excellent service. Girls
are umbltlous and continually looking
hi:ad tor the promotion that does not
always come to persons of mature
years. Besides, they have a future and
they feel it, und whether It Is in busi
ness ur In marriage, they are perpetual,
ly on the lookout for opportunities.
There are few more doleful situations
thaji thobe In which old people with
out any accumulation of savings find
tbetiiBclveM. While they are competent,
faithful and painstaking they are al
niutft certain to be opinionated and In
muuy Instance tenacious in clln;;ing
to old ideas and traditions. And so
they travel ubout hopeless and home
less. Soiiiutimes one of them gets a
position with quiet people, who are
not sticklers tor the manner of doing
things, and will get along very well.
1 do not even attempt to keep up with
the rush of events, do not seek out and
utilize ttimie of the very excellent ma
terial thai one finds In these middle
aged women. As a useful man around
a auiull place, the old man Is likely to
provti very satisfactory, and a good old
woman cau be very helpful and make
herself exceedingly agreeable In a
house-hold. I'cihups ihe cannot do
very haid work, but she rarely looks
for large ruuipeusuilon. It Is a great
pity that there Is not some soeieiy or
Home iiiiMiis by which these really use
ful pei'nous can be placed In families
where their services are much more
needed and would be highly appre
ciated. --New York ledger.

CHEWING GUM.
How One Factory Unit Inrrrntcd ltd WwV
iini l'Jnormuunly.
The largest chewing gum factory Tn
the world Is In Cleveland, Ohio. Only
a few years ngo its owner wns a pot
man, making his gum In the basement
of an old building, offering In vain hi
whole business for a few hundred dol
lars, and with his wife as his solo as
sistant. Now his three hundred em
ployes make profits for a millionaire.
The very air around the factory Is
pregnant with the composite fragrance
of the essence used In flavoring. En
tering by the packing rooms, the white
walla, the line drift sugar lying every
where and the rows of white capped
glrla folding .the crisp papers with
the deft rapidity of machines give a
Urst Impression of odorous whiteness.
The gum making begins In Mexico,
Its foundation being chicle gum, the
chocolate colored exudencc of the naso
berry tree. The natives gather, pack
It In barrels and send It north. At th
factory It la picked over and crushed,
then placed In large kettles, together
with sugar and flavoring extracts.
While cooking the revolving cylinder
within the kettle keeps the mass con
stantly stirred. When cooled It is
carried to a table where a group of
girls knead the ginger-bread-looking
stuff, mixing It In sugar until It at
tains the needed dryness. Transferred
to another table It Is rolled out to
thick square cakes, worked as a cook
would pastry, hut wlih sugar taking
the place of flour. These cakes are
then pressed back and forth under a
eteara roller until each is In thin strips
about eighteen Inches wide and a yard
long. A grooved roller cuts It Into
squares which are laid on a tray and
left for twenty-four hours. After a
day's drying another grooved roller
marks It Into the shape in which it Is
sold when it is broken and sent In
boxes to the packing room. Here It is
wrapped In paper, placed In dainty
boxes and then sent to the inspecting
room, where each box la opened, ex
amined and passed. All through the
process may be noticed the samo accu
rate care and economy. Some girls
In the Inspecting department are kept
busy scraping unevenly-shaped pieces.
Every broken scrap, Is saved and re
turned to the melting kettle.
The factory is complete In Itself, and
has many departments. The top floor
Is given up to the manufacture of
pasteboard boxes for the gum. The
basement Is a light, airy printing of
fice, where many hands are busy with
the labels and advertising. A railway
Bw-ltch loads and unloads everything
at tho door. Six brands of gum are
made in the building. Of one brand
alone the Yucatan tho bookkeeper
says that 50.900 miles had been sold in
ten years, that In each day of the last
ten years thirteen and a half miles
had been the average sales.
An Honmt Hut Sin mil Yniike.
There is a funny case of Internation
al honesty down In Arizona, hist on
ihe line between that territory and
Mexico, a lanitee farmer lives there,
one Amasa Barrow by rame, and it Is
his business to raise chickens. Chick
en feed Is cheap in Mexico, and chick
ens bring fine prices in Arizona, but to
raise fowls in Mexico and bring thm
across the boundary, or to buy the food
and bring It across, would involve tha
payment of a considerable duty, which
would eat the profits about as fast as
the hens could eat the corn. As for
smuggling, that waa not to be thought
3f.
Amasa is a Yankee, and is so hon
est that his neighbors say hi wouldn't
take advantage of a ninn in n horse
trade. But he Is aiv.0 full of Yankee
ingenuity and. after deep cogitation,
he built a long, slim hen coop, one
Half of It in Arizona and the other in
Mexico. On tho line there is a gate.
Over the line there are bains contain
ing feed. At feeding time the gate is
Dpened and the chicken fancier shoos
n!3 Mock Into Mexico, where they cat
:l:eir meal. Then he slioi.s them back
:o the pro'ection of ".he American flag,
ivhere they digest this Mexican grain,
lay their eggs and carry on their fam
ily alfairs. Mr. Barrow raves about
iifty per cent, on grain, and makes that
much on his chickens, and If there is
iiiy smuggling done it Is done by the
nnoeent and irresponsible biddies

Not Tailor I'lu llsli In Jull.

the Slate and manufacture, as far as
possible, cvcryttiti.c that the State ha
occasion to buy. It is proposed that
they shall make, among other thing3,

and that is a good pian. The objection
to it, that tlteie Is ut present a dearth
of Hrst-eliiss tailors In prison, Is not
fatal even If true. Of course, since the

ment of first-class tailors to modltjj

large has been greater than usual, but
that, I hough for a time it msy check
the operation of the law of supply and
demand, is h irdly likely to upset it al
together. The State will doubtless
have tailors enough presently, and
meanwhile It can turn to account In its
clothing department Its embezzlers,
swindlers and convicted professional
men. many of whom are persons of
taste and experlmco In dress, and may
be expected to take kindly to tailoring.

DEATH F HENRY GEORGE.
Henry (leorge, candidate for mayor
of Greater New York on the JelTcr
sonian Democratic ticket, died at five
o'clock Friday morning at the Union
Hotel, New York City, from apoplexy.
Mr. George had retired l.tle Tlnus
clay night alter addressing three large
meetings. He seemed in his usual
health. About three o'clock Friday
morning Mrs. George, was awakened
by the convulsive movements of her
husband. He was moaning faintly.
Jumping up, Mrs. George found her
husband in a dying condition.
Henry George, who was noted for
his championship' of the single tax
theory, was not an old man but was of
an extremely sensitive nature. Those
who knew him well feared that hewaj
overworking himself in the mayoralty
campaign. At times he was incohe
rent during his campaign and his whole
temperment appeared to have under
gone a complete change. He had not
been in strong health for three years.
In 1S79 he published his now fam
ous book, "Progress and Poverty."
In 1880 Mr. George left California
and located in New York, where he
continued to live until his death. In
1886 he was a candidate for mayor of
New York and made an excellent
run. It was in that campaign that
he started his single-tax paper. Mr.
George was again a candidate for
mayor of New York this year, having
received the nomination and indorse
ment of several parties.
Millions of Touchers
Systematic Filet in tho Sub Treasury in New
York.
In the vaultlike attic of the United
States sub treasury building in this
city there are more than 20,000,000
cancelled pension checks and other
vouchers so systematically filed that
the assistant treasurer can within ten
minutes put his hand on any particu
lar one of these vouchers run back
about thirty years, and the bits of
piper are 1 ow accumulating at the
rate of 2,000,000 a year. A large pro
portion of Ihe government disburs-
ments are made in New York, and it
has been the custom of every United
States assistant treasurer to carefully
file away the vouchers.
Experience has proven the wisdom
of this precaution, for scarcely a week
passes that a demand istiot made on
the New York sub-treasury lor the
payment of some old claim usually
a bounty or a pension extending
back from ten o twenty years. Some
time ago a resident of one of the far
western states sent in what appeared
to be a valid claim for war bounty,
due more than thirty years ago. By
direction of Deputy Assistant United
States Treasurer Muhlman search was
made among the files in the sub-treasury
attic, and within a few minutes
evidence was lound that the claim
had been paid many years before. In
most cases where claims are made for
back payments the canceled checks or
other vouchers are found packed away
in the file boxes.
In some instances old war claims
appear which have not been paid, and
after proper investigation they are
liquidated. Such cases usually come
from the rural districts, and frequent
ly follow the death of a veteran of the
war, whose lone; neglected or for
gotten papers are overhauled by sur
viving relatives. "But in the matter
of the great bulk of the old claims
presented here," said Deputy Assist
ant Treasurer Muhlman, "the govern
ment is saved trouble and expense
because of the preservation of the
millions of vouchers." ATeu York

American Navy.
Constructor Hichborn Fears Exhaustion of
Appropriations.
In his annual report of the navy,
Thilip Hichborn, chief constructor of
the navy, says that the strength of the
navy on October 1st was 141 vessels
all told, including the ships of both
old and new navies. It is stated that
during the last few months of the fis
cal year a considerable amount of
work upon vessels that had been au
thorized by congress had to be sus
pended owing to lack of funds. This
caused a heavy drain upon the new
appropriations at the beginning of the
present fiscal year and makes the ex
haustion of those appropriations be
fore the first of next July almost an
rss ired fact. Chief Hichborn says
there is a discouraging state ot affairs
as the exhaustion means a wholesale
reduction of the navy yard forces and
the discharge ol competent and train
ed men. He points to the advantage
and economy of having at least one
vessel building at each important
navy yard. Probably the most desir
able type of vessel for the purpose
intended, particularly in view of the
present state of the armor question,
would be that of a sheathed cruiser of
comparatively light draft and great
coal endurance with quarters lor flag
oflicers. Attention is called to the
urgent need of improving the navy
yard plants in the interest of economi
cal execution of work, and estimates
are submitted lor each yard.

Shortage iu Potato Orop.
Not since 1892 has the potato crop
of the United States proved so nearly
a failure, says the American Agricult
urist in its final report of the yield of
1897. Compared with the liberal crop
of last year, there is an apparent fall
ing off of nearly 30 per cent, in ton
nage, and the quality of the whole is
greatly deficient. County and town
ship returns from all the leading potato
growing states to this weekly news
paper show the yield of potatoes to be
1 74,000,000 bushels, against 245,000,
000 in 1896, 286,000,000 in 1895,
185,000,000 in 1894 and only 155,
000,000 in the short crop of 1892.
The average rate yield per acre is
placed at 64 bushels, taking the country
at large, against 8C bushels in J896,
89 in 1895 and 62 in 1892.
