Yes. its here again, and capital run it
has been; and we have learned we'll one
thing we never knew so we'll before, -that
is, the difference of boiling with good dry
wood, or with good green wood, which
makes about three quarters, certainly more
than half difference.
Ever since we have had sugar house,
we have had our seasons supply Of wood
cut in the summer and put in after haying
and have had solid satisfaction in "bol,
ing" even though the wood be partially
rotten; almost any old stuff one can pick
up, if well dried, makes good sugar
wood"
Well last year the new barn which our
readers have heard about, took precedence
ofeverything else, and the result was that
we commenced this season with only about
half our stock of dry wood, and have been
trying to piece out with green wood; and
as before said, it makes more than hal
difference, and that's considerable loss
and we realize the necessity as never be-
fore of having our wood cut in season for
next years use.
Two years trial of Posts No. spouts
have confirmed the good opinion we form,
ed OF them. With them one uses no nails
or hooks, the tub hanging on the spout and
leaving the top of the tub smooth so a
cover will lie on it, keeping out dirt or
storm. and thus doing away with the need
of emptying tubs after storm. Some
times the sap will run freely during a
storm, and with uncovered tubs one must
lose the sap or boil down the water, either
way resulting in loss; but with the cover
on the tub the sap is saved and the work
also. Tin tubs commend themselves this
year when the snow is deep, for man Can

Something New In Entomology.

Last Sunday, as Mr.. Jones was rer
turning from church with his family, he
discovered new and singular looking
bug on his front door step. AS he is
something of scientist, lie was natur-
ally pleased with the new specimen, and,
forming his pocket handkerchief into
sort of cage, he bounced down on 1t, and
succeeded in capturing it,
"Bring the microscope, children he
called, land tell your ma to hurry;
want her to look at it; Tn sure it be-
longs to the Hemiptera class and is
new specimen. Here. Charlie, put your
eye to the ocular side and tell me what
you see.'
"Oh, pa, amt it splendid? It's got
four wings, eight eyes, and oh, my! amt
it sparkler, though? Red, and green,
an yellow, and--oh it is getting away,
amt it, pa?"
Then it isn't deadr cried Mr.. Jones,
In ecstasy; II wasn't quite sure
whether it moved or not. Let me look!
Yes! it is terrestrial, think, after all;
it belongs to the genus Pentatoma-the
ant.nnm have that peculiar flexible look;
and yet, now that look again, the eyes
seem to indicate that it is u phytocoris,
in which case it will be very destructive
to your mas plants, and we must kill 1t
at once. I'll ask Prof. Sill. 1t will be,
in any case, valuable addition to sell
ence. Maria, where's the chloroform?'
Sup on the clock shelf; what are you
going to do with it?" asked Mrs. Jones,
who had been giving her undivided at
tention to the baby.
Kill this bug as soon as you have ex-
amined it," answered Mr.. Jones in
lofty tone. II shall present it to the
Detroit Scientific Association"
well, l guess not, Mr.. JONES'" broke
in his wife, who was looking with much
interest at the new specimen. Il paid
50 for that bug last week to wear on my
new bonnet, and must have dropped it
off when ] came in. 1t belongs to the
genus millinere, and couldn't be any
deader if it had been baked for CEN
fury. Science will have to get along
without it, Jones, it's already classified.

Chicago 1richlna.

Holders of pork in Chicago appear to
DO squealing somewhat because OF the
cases which have occurred there of that
dreaded and fatal disease, trichina, sew
eral having died from it. One may say,
therefore, in language of market reports,
that pork is soft. 1t would probably be
more correct to say that the people who
cat pork uncooked are softer than the
pork, softer than the market. The ply
sicians tell the people however. that
there is no danger from eating the pork,
provided it be well cooked. That is
ing raw pork, either in sausages or other
wise, alive with the invisible insects or
seeds. eggs, or whatever else that pro-
duces them, and then to feel ones flesh
alive with the countless millions
of those horrible ministers of death,
crawling, eating their way through
the muscles OF the body
"A crawlin' fertile" Of which
Bobby Burns had no conception. How
happens it that Cincinnati, where hogs
for SO many years have poured out their
blood and lives for the pork eating peo-
pie of the world, has never been re-
ported as afflicted by that horrible
disease? Are the people wiser than their
neighbors by the Lake Shore region, and
so cook their pork before eating it?
Oysters raw may do, in fact are luscious.
What il some OF our modern philoso-
piers or physicians should discover, or
ct least assert, that they, too, carry the
seeds of an oyster-trichina plague? Raw
on the half-shell would not SO often be
the call ct the stands.-S. F. Alta.

rhe standard Time.

The city clock at the courthouse
is now in full running order and
keeping perfect time. Its stroke is
clear and distinct and can be easily
heard all over the city. And right
here we would remark, by way of
suggestion, that it would save time
and often much inconvenience If
the proprietors of manufactures
and all other kind of business whose
employees are required to go to
work at seven in the morning and
quit at six in the evening, would
adopt the city clock as their stan
dard of time. Heretofore they
have been accustomed to regulate
their hours by the foundry or mills
which are ahead of the regular time
by about fifteen minutes. This is
done, it is said, in order that their
employees may be on hand by the
regular hour. Now there are so
many of these whistles, all of which
keep their own timeand consequent
ly vary in their whistles, that
much annoyance and vexatien is
caused both to proprietOrs and em-
ployees. Would it not be best for
everybody to take the city clock as
a standard by which to regulate
their working hours? We think so.
We make this suggestion, and let it
go for what it Is worth.

Reduction Bn Passenger Rates ON
the Louisville A. Nashville
RaElr0ad.

On next Monday, August LIST the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad
will reduce its passenger rates very
considerably, as will be seen. by
reading the following card from the
General Passenger Agent. This
is fair reduction on the part of
this excellent railroad and the trav-
cling public will be pleased to hear
oft.
On August first a general reduc-
duetiOn in the passenger tariffs Of
all lines operated by this company
will 20 into effect, and believing
the matter OF sufficient public inter-
est, give you below the rates per
mile for passenger travel on the
Memphis Division, that you may
advise your readers thereof:
For frst-class unlimited tickets ~ cents
For first-class limited tickets, good for
continuous passage, cents per mile.
For round trip tickets, good 10 days, 81
cents per mile.
1900 mile Individual tickets, good only
1000 mile individual tickets, good over
entire line, ~ cents per mile.
Corresponding reductions have
been made in rates on all divisions
of this line, and the adoption of the
round trip reduced rate ticket for
local travel, it is confidently be-
lieved, will meet with hearty APP
proYal from the travelling public.
As an example of the reduction
which will be made under the new
tariff from present rate, take
GAINESVILLE to Paris, present rate is
50 80, under new tariff for continu-
Gus passage it will be 1915 or re-
duction of IL per cent, while a
round trip between same points,
now costing $500, can be made for
$4.S5 or a reduction of 26 per cent.
The new rate on ,000-mile tickets
over the Memphis Division is a re-
duction of per cent, from present
rates, and on 2,000-mile ticket of
16S per cent, from present rates.
Very truly yours

CAVE NOTES.

a
A large fors.e Of hands are at work
enlarging the dancing and croquet
grounds in the front part Of the cave
and have now a large level space
admirably suited to the purpose
about seventy-five by one hundred
feet.
In digging away the dirt and
stone, quite lot of bones have been
found which are evidently Indian
bones, as several pieces of Indian
pottery were with them. The bones
were in an advanced stage of decay
but easy recognized as human re
mains. The river has been bridged
in several places, and the routes
opened and made easy of access, a
long ladder has been put in the
''Palace of Pebbles" and the beau
ties of that wonderful place can now
be seen to a much better advantage.
A large number. of visitors are at
the cave every day, some invalids,
others families. enjoying the invig-
Grating atmosphere and delightful
GOODNESS.
On Wednesday night about twen-
ty five couples of young ladies and
gentlemen from the city were out
and spent the night up to eleven
o'clock, in dancing. They were
chaperoned by Mesdames Wisdom,
Meriwether and Henry, while
Messrs VIM. Meriwether and Pat
Henry took charge of outside affairs.
Altogether it was most delightful
affair.
A party of old stagers have made
arrangements to camp at the cave
next week, Squire FINS Ewing,
w. C. Barksdale, Luther Warfield
and half dozen others constitute the
party.
A large barbecue will be given at
the cave in the course of week or
two, extensive arrangements are be-
ing made, and over hundred car
cases will be served on the occasion.
