MAPLE SUGAR.-Thc b. B. Mail says
The following is an extract from letter
written us by Mrs. p. N. Judson, of Lyn-
den, in this county, accompanying two
cakes of maple sugar made from " sap
on the 10th and 18th ultimo On the lst
of January, 1873. Mrs. Judson tried the
experiment of making sugar from Lynden
maple. aud met with such flattering success
that she sent specimen cake to Jay Cooke
4 Co., financial agents of the N. p. r. r.
Co., at New York City, which was duly
acknowledged by them in letter highly
complimentiug its excellence. We unhes.
itatlugly declare that the sample received
by us this week will favorably compare
with the maple sugar of Mount Vernon,
Va, and other we'll known maple forests of
tho Eastern States. 1t is hoped that new
settlers will take Mrs. Judson's advice and
let this valuable tree stand in all cases
where it will contribute to the wealth and
adjournment Of the farm. Here it 10:
L think the sugar made from the soft
maple ofour country ola much better quality
than that made from tho maple in the East
My advice to all of our new settlers would
be to allow their naples to stand instead of
cutting them down. They are not only
beautiful for ornament aud shade, but they
will also fiud by experimet, that they will
prove source of profit.

a bad tix-they are entirely out Of reach
of market for anything except their
stock. They had hoped great things of
the Northern Pacific Railroad, but as
yet it has only been damage to them
it has done them no good, and has
harmed them by Withdrawing one-half
of the land in tho valley from settle

serious drawbacks, which we have al

MIR. Brown and His Umbrella.

Brown stood for over an hour on a
street. corner the last rainy day, hold
ing a gigantic umbrella over him.
When any of his acquaintances not sim
ilarly provided-who the day before
would scarcely condescsnd to give him
nod OF acknowledgement to see
him they would smilingly salute him,
inquire how he felt, were the family all
well, ETC., winding up by asking him if
he was going up or down, as the case
may be. "Yes, directly" Brown would
say, "wait a moment" After waiting
some time, and repeated nudges having
failed to bring him, the friend who was
SO very solicitous about Browns health
would attempt to emerge from the shell
ter of the umbrella, when Brown would
importune him to wait a moment longer,
asking him (after he had already waited
five to ten minutes) what was his par
ticular hurry, At last the friena-who
could not perceive anything so very
funny in the neighborhood that should
produce such broad grin on Brown
with look on his face as though he
had just discovered that he had cashed
a bogus check, would dive from under
the umbrella and walk off as if he was
mad at something.-7roy Press.

Telegraphic Clocks.

In Pittsburgh, Penn. an electric clock
has been established to move the hands
of seventy different clocks, scattered
over the city. The motive clock is
powerful, and has pendulum COM
posed of hollow coils of copper wire.
These swing to and fire. over the poles
of horseshoe magnets, and every time
they pass from one pole to the opposite
current of electricity is called up in
ductively in the coils, flows mp the
wire, and thence to the seventy dials,
giving a current of opposite nature at
every swing. Behold each dial is an
astatic permanent magnet, suspended
Oh pivot, and surrounded by coil of
wire. and it rotates under the electric
influence from the wires. A small
weight may be used to each dial if the
hands are heavy, and the pivoted mag
net may merely reg ulate the time. Of
course every clock will be exactly alike,
ard will run with very little attention.
To prevent the pendulum of the motive
clock from moving too fast by the in
crease in the length of vibration of the
pendulum, magnetic bridling appara-
tus is attached

A WindfalI.

Two or three weeks since a merchant
in Hartford took into his head, one
evening, to look over some old books
and papers which bad been put away in
an old trunk for many years. The con-
tents belonged to his wife, and together
they looked over the various articles, long
forgotten. Their little daughter picked
up document occasionally and read it,
and finally said, "What is this paper ?
1t says thousand dollars on it," The
gentleman took it up and saw that it
was an old county bond, in another
State, for 81 200, with interest at 6 per
cent, under the date of 1858. He wrote
to ascertain if it had any value, was
asked to send it on, and one day last
week received check for nearly 81, 900,
being the accumulation of principal and
interest for upward of fifteen years.

Our Hairs Numbered.

Somebody has been at the trouble of
calculating the average number of hairs
which grow on an average persons head.
1t is found that the number varies ac-
cording to the color of the hair. Light
or blond hair is the most luxuriant, the
avarage of this color being 100000.
When the hair is brown, the usual num-
Der is much less, being only 10000,
while black hairs reach only the aver.
age amount of 100000. 1t might natu-
rally be supposed that light haired
person having the most hair would have
the greatest weight to carry, but it is
not so. That which is lightest in
color is also lightest in weight
and lady with abundant haxen locks
is as light.headed as one whose tresses
are of raven hue. Hence it follows that
the former is of finer texture than the
latter.

louisiana.

The negro population of Louisiana
seems to be steadily increasing. In
1870 the State had total population of
726,275, and in 1874 the number had
diminished only a couple of hundred,
while during the same period the num-
Der of blacks in the State had increased
nearly ten thousand. OF the 10000
inhabitants, nearly 29S,O00 can neither
read nor write; of these, 200 are
whites and go, 900 blacks. This state
ment, including, as it does, infants and
young children, is of course likely to
mislead as to the real state of affairs,
but the actual fact that of the children
old enough to attend school, numbering
in all 100000, only $4,000 or not quite
one-third, attend school, is appalling
enough to awaken the most serious APP
prehensions concerning the future OF
that unfortunate State.-,S Louis Dem.

To Select Eggs.

Encircle the egg with the thumb and
forefnger of the right hand, placing it
with its small end toward the tips of the
thumb and finger; hold the egg close
to gaslight or the flame of a powerful
lamp, and look through it, turning it
round on its long axis with the left
hand. If the yelk be seen in the center
of the egg, and the white be clear, the
egg is newly laid and good if the yelk
be not in the center, but toward one
side or end, the egg is not quite fresh,
but is eatable if the white be clear and
the yelk not touching the shell if the
yelk be in contact with the shell and
viry Opaque, the egg is unfit to eat ;
and, if the whole egg be Opaque and
dark-looking, it is rotten. Due allow
ance must be made for shells of more
than ordinary thickness but ninety
nine out of every hundred eggs may be
sorted in this manner with certainty.

Sowing ThistleS.

The story is told of a woman who
freely used her tongue to the scandal of
others and made confession to the
priest of what she had DONE He gave
her a ripe thistle top, and told her to
go about in various directions and
scatter the seeds one by one. Wonder
ing at the penance, she obeyed, then re-
turned and told her confessor. To her
amazement, he babe her go back and
gather the scattered seeds !; and when
she objected that it would be impossi-
bic, he replied that it would be still
more difficult to gather up and destroy
all the evil reports which she had circu-
lated about others. Any thoughtless,
careless child can scatter thistle seed
before the wind in moment, but the
strongest and wisest cannot gather
them again.
