DOFs ONES STYLE OF WALKING iNDICATE
HIS CHARACTER Professor Fowler says that
those whose motions are awkward, yet easy
possess niue efficiency and positiveness OF
character, yet lack polish and just in pro-
portion as they become refined in mind,
will their mode of carriage CORRESPONDENCE
be improved. 4 short quick step indicates
n brisk and active, but rather contracted
mind, whereas, those who take long steps
generally have long heads; yet ifthcir step
be slow, they viii make comparatively little
progress, while those whose step is long and
quick, will accomplish much, and pass most
of their competitors on the highway Of life.
Their heads and plans, too, will parlake Of
the same far reaching character evimced in
their carriage Those who sluf or drag
their heels, drag and drawl in everything
while those who walk with springing,
bounding step, abound in a mental snap
and spring. And those whose walk is min
cling and artificial, rarely, if ever accomplish
much. whereas those who carelessly, that
is, natural, are inst whot they appear, and
put on nothing for outside SHOW. Those
who, in walking, roll fro.l side to side, lack
discreetness of character, and side every way
according to circumstances; whereas those
who take bee line, that *, whose body
moves neither to the right or left but straight
forward, have a corresponding directness Of
purpose, firmness of character; those also
who teeter up and down when they walk,
rising an inch or two every step, will have
many corresponding ups and downs in life
be,@use of their irreguIarity OF character and
feeling Those, too, who make a great ado
in walking, will much needless parade in
everythin, else, and hence spend great
amount of useless steam in all they under
who walk easily, or spend but little strength
in walking, will accomplish great results
with little strength, both mentally and
physically. In short, every individual has
his own peculiar mode of moving, which ex-
actIy accords with his mental character; so
that, so far as you can see such modes, you
csu decipher such outline of character.

Mr.. Coverings Mode of Making su ;aI
from the Chinese Cane.


twill be remembered that the most per-
feet specimens of sugar manufactured from
the Chinese cane presented for examination
at the lrte Convention at Springfield, were
forwarded by Mr.. Joseph S. Lowering, of
Philadelphia, In the accompanying letter
to Mr.. Francis, Mr.. Lowering stated that a
pamphlet describing his mode of manufact-
ure was then in the hands of the printer,
and would be shortly ready for distribution.
That has since been issued, and the follow
ing are the writers conclusions:
l. That il is obvious that there is CALM
mating point in the development of the su-
sugar in the cane, which is the best time for
sugar making. This point or season | con-
slider to be. when most If not all the seeds
are ripe, and after several irosts, say when
the temperature falls TO 25s or 800 F.
> That frost, or even hard freezing, does
not injure the juice of the sugar, but that
warm Indian summer weather, after the
frost and hard freezing, does injere them
very materially, and redures both quantity
and quality.
8. That if the cane is cut and housed, or
shocked in the field when in its most favor
able condition, it will probably keep un-
changed for long time.
1. That whuen the juice is obtained, the
without delay.
5. That the Qualification should be rs per-
fec, as possible, by the time the density
reaches Is deg. Beaume, the syrup having
the appearance OF good brandy,
6. That although eggs were used in these
small experiments, on account of their con-
venience, bullock's blood, if to he had, is
equally good, and the milk Of lime alone
will answer the puapose, in the latter case,
however, moro constant and prolonged skim
ming will be required to produce perfect
Qualification, which is highly imortant.
Z. That the concentration. or boiling down
after Qualification, should be as rapid as pos
sible without neutrality-suspicious. evapora-
tors bling he bet.
With these conditions secured, it is about
rs easy to make good sugar from the Chi
nese cane as to make a pot of good mush.
and much easier than to make kettle of
good apple butter
Mr. Coverings pamphlet will be eagerly
sought after by those who mean to expert
ment with the Chinese cane next season,
and we presume our booksellers and peri
odicaI dealers will soon receive supply.
