A New York de:iler ia spruce gum
said to a Sun. reporter: "Tho supply ol
naUinl pim is tery large, and would
bo still larger if it were not that tho
spruce fords whero It is obtained have
been so thinned out by tho inroads of
tho lumbermen that the pum gatherer
cannot obtain thu quantities that he
could in former years. One of the prin
cipal occupations in Bennington, Vt., is
the dealing in spruce gum, mid Belfast,
Augusta, und other places in Ma'fio make
an important item of this product in
their trading.
"Id is no uncommon thing to see men,
women and children coming into these
pla es laden with all they can carry of
tho aromatic spruce gum, and why
shouldn t they J It is worth to them ft.
a pound in cash. Pome men will bring
in on their bucks a mucn as 'JOO pounds
of tho material, all ready to be put in
form for the mouths of thoe who like it.
Dealers in Augusta say that the retail
trade in spruce gum in that city alone
foots up over .$"", O.)0 a year. Tho largest
spruce gum dealer in the world is in
Bennington, lie handles between ir,000
and 20,000 pounds a year. Reemploys
not less than seventy-rive persons to col
lect gum for him in the season, which is
from October to June. The business
cannot be carried on in the summer, as
thu hot weather causes the gum to run
together, and form in masses that im
pair its appearance and cause it to de
teriorate in value.
Spruce gum is obtained in the forests
of Canada, Maine, iew Hampshire and
Vermont. The gum gatherers go many
miles into the forest, erect rude cabins,
and each one remains until he has gath
ered one hundred pounds. He carries it
home, where the women and children
cleanse the gum from all its impurities,
such rs bark, twigs and other foreign
substances, and sort it into the different
grades, all of which are known even by
the youngest child in the business. It is
a big day's work for a woman to clean
and sort ten pounds. While the house
hold is cleansing his collection the gum
gatherer returns to the woods and works j
until he has secured another batch, and
getting it is no easy or rapid work. The
gatherer goes through the woods looking
at the virgin spruces. When the girm
that forms on the outside of the trees is
once removed the tree will never again
yield enough to make it worth the while
of the gatherer to visit it. t-o he must
hunt out the trees tnat have escaped the
notice of his class during all the years
the woods have been searched by them.
The num. gatherer carries a stout pole,
which is in sections, like a jointed fish
ing rod. At one end of the pole is a
chisel fitted snugly to the wood. Beneath
the chisel is a cup holding probably half
a pint. AVhen thegatheier discovers a
mass of gum on a tree, no matter how
hiyh it may be, he runs his chisel up
against it and cuts it off, when it falls in
to the cup. It is then placed in an oiled
bag which is slung across the back of
the gatherer. This arduous work contin
ues without cessation during the months
mentioned, and so slow is the accumula
tion of the gum by the collector, ordi
narily, that he considers himself fortu
nate if he gathers a hundred pounds a
month.
Boston chews more spruce gum than
any other place in the country, and deal
ers say that Chicago consumes the next
largest quantity. The great supply is ob
tained in Bennington as, a centre, but
the small lumbering villages of Maine
send enormous quantities to market.
The lusty young axeman or logger of
the Maine lumber camps never " returns
home from the woods without fetching
with him a large lump of the choicest
spruce gum he can collect us a gift to his
sweetheart, and his coming with the
offering is anxiously awaited by her, as
next to him she loves the fragrant resin
of the spruce. The lover who should
fail to pay this homage to his fair ladv
would be hooted out of the Maine lum- 1
ber woods as a man unworthy the trust, !
to say nothing of tho affection, of the
gentle sex.
"They have in these isolated villages
a pastime which they call the 'yankinjr
bee,' which requires great tenacity of
jaw and power of endurance to enjoy. A
yanking bee is a gathering of young peo
ple who meet for the avowed purpose of
yanking or chewing spruce gum. The
fun of the party cons'sts in chewing the
gum in as large 'gobs' as the mouth can
hold, and accompanying the performance
with as loud a noise as the lips can make
while the chewing is going on. A large
lump of prime spruce gum is the prize
which tho person who chews the longest
and the loudest will win. After the yank
is over the fiddler comes in, and daylight
comes before the festivities of the bee
are over.
"Spruce gum, they assert in Maine
and other lumbering States, possesses
great medicinal properties, and they also
say there is nothing like it for indiges
tion and disordered stomach. That is a
mere matter of opinion, and it is rather
doubtful. Lumbermen say that in ten
years there will be no more spruce gum
gathered lor market because there will
be no more to gather. At the present
time, however, yo i may set it down as a
fact that there is still plenty of genuine,
unadulterated spruce gum sold to con
sumers." Men in the Moon.
The inhabitants of the moon, if there
are any, b hold a niuch larger and more
luminous moon than the inhabitants of
the earth do. It is thirteen times larger
than ours, and, therefore, thirteen times
more luminous. It hangs in the fiima
ment of tho moon without apparent
change of place, but not without change
of surface, for this gr;at globe as it turns
on its axis p esents its oceans and conti
nents in yrand success!, n. In a word,
in twenty-four ho;;rs this great rotundity
which we mort ils tread 1 urns its pictured
countenance to the moon, and grandly
repays the listening or ga, ing lunarians
by repeating to them, wi'h tie be-t of
its abi'ity.the story of its birth. Whether
there are intelligences in the moon who-e
capacit ios'enabie them to rea.i the story
is a question for philosophers and as
tronomer to solve. iV.'i (.'ultirutor.

Known by their Foreheads.
"I cannot express an opinion on tho
subject of palmistry or even upon phre
nology," said a well-known surgeon to a
reporter of the New York Mail and ,Ex
press recently, "for I have never studied
either of them, but I do know that the
forehead has a language of its own. By
studying it the character of the person
can be determined almost to a certainty.
Take a man who has a very retreating fore
head, which is low and shallow, you will
find him deficient in intellect. If only
slightly retreating, or what appears to be
retreating, from the fullness of the forms
over the eyes, you will find him very
susceptible, very imaginative, as well as
humorous and witty. Bide on an ele
vated train some day and compare the
foreheads of t,uose persons you know
with such of their characteristics as you
may bo acquainted with, and you will
find that those noted as being slow
and dull will have very project
ing foreheads. On the other hand,
among men noted for their solid un.
derstandins. powers of concentration and
studious habits you will find a pepen
dicular forehead, rather high and well
rounded at the temples. Note a man
whose forehen t is crossed perpendicu
larly between the eyebrows with wrink
les of the same length. Y'on may be
sure he is an ill-tempered man. Wrink
les, however, of unusual length indicate
deep thought. Sensitiveness and geni
ality is shown by a low, arched fore
head, full at the temples and when com
bined with a great fullness over the eyes
denotes an improvable and idealistic na
ture. Persons possessing poetic, ardent
and sensitive natnres not unfrequently
have a blue vein forming a letter "y" in
an open,, smooth and low forehead.
High, narrow, wholly unwrinkled fcre
heads, over which the skin is tightly
drawn, show a weakness of will power,
and a lack of imagination or suscepti
bility; while foreheads not entirely pro
jecting, but having knotty protuber
ance give vigor of mind and harsh, op
pressive activity and perseverance. I
havo used this philosophy of the fore
head for many years in my practice, and
attribute much of my success to its un
derstanding. A patient's forehead is
always visible to the phjsicion, and by
studying it for a m meut he can gener
ally get a good idea of tho kind of per
son he has to deal with, and can act and
recommend a treatment to conform to the
patient's ' individuality."

Thflr Own FanlU
Many farmers complain of what they
call their hard lot. They work har.l,
they gay, all the ir lives and yrt never pM
ahead any. They dress poorly and
live poorly, and never spend a
cent for any new or improved thing,
no matter if it promise to bring
back a hundred fold. When prices are,
high they have nothing to sell and their
ub is alway bottom up when it rain?.
To illustrate at the present time the price
of strictly fresh laid eggs in Boston at
retail is from 42 to 50 cents per dozen,
and it -would bo interesting and in
tructive to know how may farmers in
this State are able to take advantage of
these high prices. The following letter
show what cau be accomplished by in
telligent aud enterprising farmers.

I. S. Johnson & Co., Gentlemen: I
have made a trial of your Sheridan's
Powder and am much pleased with re
sult; it is really greater than tho report
would seem to show, for previous to
using it I had nine hens; one died the
day before I began to use the Towder,
two were moping about, but now are
bright and laying every day, and tho last
week of the trial two of my hens havo
been sotting, so that the product has
more than doubled. I bought a largo
cau, but only used about half of it; I
do not send in expectation of netting a
prize, but I thought you would liko to
know the result.
Respectfully, L. D. Tmrr.

Messrs. I. S. Johnson & Co.,
Dear Sirs: I have been using your
Sheridan's Powder for two months now
for my hens; it works liko magic. Last
month I got eighty-six egirs from six
Langshans, old hens, too. The first of
tho month I bought three more, and
from the nine I have got one hundred
and three eggs so far this month, till
yesterday, Can't very well compete for
your premiums as my hens are produc
ing at their utmost capacity, being
fully under the influence of the Pow
der. I havo a neighbor who has
twenty-one hens and has only got forty
eggs this month.
Yours, ClIA9. W. Cominb.

Drummed Out of Camp.
John O'Neal was a drummer of out
regiment, and although he had music in
his soul, it was so continually drowned
by whisky as to find a decidedly scat
tered expression through the drumsticks.
Marches were so dreadfully mixed up
with quicksteps and funeral dirges that,
when he was to help furnish the music,
it was as equally impossible to infuse mil
itary ardor on the parade as to clothe
with proper solemnity tho funeral 'of a
comrade.
I'inally, John got to be so habitual a
resident of the guard house that tho
drum-major could get no service from
him whatever, and it was decreed that
he should be drummed out of the regi
ment. The drum-major arranged and gave
orders that the ten lifers should play ten
different tunes, and that there should bo
a proper and vigorous accompaniment
from the nine "boisterous untuned
drums." The music may possibly be
imagined by a very versatile musician,
but cannot be described until some more
language has been invented.
In this triumphal manner we escorted
him throuirh the camp, and about half a
mile outside the regimental lines.
On taking leave of us, which.of course,
was in a most friendly way, as there was
no personal dislike between him and the
other musician-", he made us. the follow
ing farewell speech:
"Boys! You have succeeded in creat
ing a most terrific disturbance, but very
little music." The Comrade.
