A MICHIGAN SUGAR CAMP.
Few Naples to be Seen, but Plenty of G God
Yielding Barrels.
From the Detroit Free Press. !

N-NS
One of the finest maple sugar camps
in the West is situated right here in
Detroit. The camp, which, when first
started, occupied one room in base
ment, has now extended over the entire
underground floor of large building.
A reporter, on visiting this maple grove,
found the horny-handed farmers hard at
work sugaring off Great barrels of the
poorest sort of Cuba sugar, damp, dark,
and clammy, stood in cellar, like exc
cuted Cubans, with their heads off.
Shallow copper tanks simmered over
coal fires.
eyes," said the bronzed agriculturist,
''now is our busy season. We use up
several barrels of muscovada sugar a
day. We empty the sugar into the pans
and stir it up with hot water. Then we
add the sand, and ground leaf and
twigs-"

"What ground leaf do you use, and
why
"Oh, we get maple leaves and break
'em up. Nothing pleases a man SO
much as to find bit of maple leaf OF
a snapped off twig in his lump of maple
sugar"
''And the sand %
"Oh, well, sand is cheap enough and
helps big in weighing out the chunks
People are sort of educated up to ex-
pecting sand in their maple sugar
''You use real maple sugar to give the
flavor, suppose %
"Bless you, no that's the old
fashioned way, and it's expensive. No,
we have no favoring extracts in them
carboys, and we can turn out any brand
of maple that's called for"
The boy was ladling out the dark
looking fluid into moulds that held about
pound each; some held about five
pounds. Another poured the more
liquid stuff into cans labelled, "Pure
Vermont Maple Syrup; Beware of Imi-
tations."
Il suppose you sell most of it in the
city here %
mo, very little. The greater part
goes to farmers in the country, who
bring it in again in farm wagons and sell
it around the streets at houses where
the people will only have the pure article,
and won't buy from the regular stores. !"

Details of New Dresses.

Surah skirts to wear under Marie An
toinette polonaises, Harper's Buzar
says, have the front and side breadths
tucked to the waist with tucks two inches
deep, while the back fullness is held in
two large double box pleats that are not
tucked. This is pretty in mushroom
brown satin surah for the skirt, with an
ecru polonaise caught up on the sides
with brown or red satin or velvet rib
bOns. Black surah skirts with lace polo
naises are similarly made, and have red
or black velvet ribbons. New short
over-skirts with wrinkled apron front
have the back made of two scarf-like
breadths that are each caught up just
below the belt to form round puff or
rosette, which the French call a chou,
or cabbage; the ends drop thence low
down on the skirt beneath. Plaid and
striped velvet skirts will be worn with
polonaises of various thin materials, and
gay-colored bars on green, black or
brown velvet grounds are stylish for
these skirts. High standing collars of
dresses have small throat bow of vel
vet ribbon just beneath them-not on
the collar; these collars are now cut with
out aseam behind, and are very high. The
sleeves of new dresses are only slightly
bOuffant at the armhole, but all are
quite high on the shoulders. Some new
basques are edged with cord of passe-
menterie III one color, or in two twisted
together. The box-pleated fronts and
sides of silk skirts are ornamented with
separate large pieces of passementerie
representing palms or flowers, and these
are set on quite near the foot, or else in
rows up the entire pleating. Velvet RIB
bon forms Greek border on other skirts.
sHhe ecru net and batiste skirts are
prettily made up with lengthwise bands
of sapphire blue ribbon ending in bow
orrosette at the foot, and are worn with
washer-woman polonaise of blue surah.
The side points called peplums are
found on many new basques and polo
naises sloping away from separate vest
of velvet, lace, or pique. The effect of
an undersleeve already mentioned is not
confined to lace or net but is made also
of surah or other soft silk in a puff and
wristband added to sleeves of the same
color. Many basques are without pos
tilion pleats, but have the three back
seams left open below the waist line, and
filled in with lace frills that are set
underneath. Some new skirts have the
pleats on the front very broad, often
fourth of yard in width.
The newest hounce for finishing the foot
of plain skirt is bias, gathered, and
about eight inches deep when finished.
1t is an inch-wide hem, and two tucks of
the same width. 1t is gathered in two
rows at the top, and the top is turned
under to hide the seam by which it is
sewed on, and thus dispenses with any
heading. Finally it is tackled below to
the skirt at intervals of eight or ten
inches, forming curves like organ pleats,
and the tucks are caught upward by
this lacking. This fiounce is handsome
for victorieuse or other rich silks.

GIRLS IN BUSINESS,
A Bit of Advice that is Well Worthy of Con-
slderntiOn.

We commend to all girls who wish or
expect to engage in any self-supporting
occupation, especially where they may
come into competition with men, the fol-
lowing extract from Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps's article, entitled Supporting
Herself, In the May st. Nicholas.
"But, girls, if you don't mean to make
thorough business of the occupation
you have chosen, never, never, never be-
gin to be occupied at all. Half-inished
work Will do for amateurs. II will never
answer for professionals. The bracket
You are sewing for New Years present
can hang little crooked on its screws,
and you will be forgiven 'for the loves
sake found therein by the dear heart
to which you offer it; but the trinket
carved for sale in the Sorrento rooms
must be cut as true as a rose-leaf. You
can be little shaky as to your German
declenslons in the Schiller club, which
you Join so enthusiastically after leav-
ing school, and no great harm ever came
of 1t; but teach Schiller for living, and
for every dative case forgotten you are
so much money out of pocket.
'People who pay for thing demand
thorough workmanship or none. To
offer incomplete work for complete
market price, is to be either cheat or a
beggar. The terrible grinding laws of
supply and demand, pay and receive,
give and get, give no quarter to shilly-
shally labor, The excellence of your in
tentions Is nothing to the point. The
stress of your poverty has not the slight
est connection with the case. An editor
will never pay you for your poem be-
cause you wish to help your mother. No
customer will buy her best bonnet or her
wheat flour of you because you are I'M
able to pay your rent. When you have
entered the world of trade, you have en-
tered a world where tenderness and char
lty and personal interest are foreign re-
lations. Not 'for friendships sake, nor
for PHYS sake nor for chivalry' sake,
runs the great rallying cry of this world,
but only for value received
cit is with sorrow and shame, but yet
with hope and courage, that [ write it
there is reason for the extensive COM
plant made by men, that women do not
work thoroughly. [ am afraid that, till
time and trouble shall have ia ught them
better, they will not. Is it because they
have never been trained? Is it because
they expect to be married? That it is
not in the least because they can not,
we Know; for we know that some of the
most magnificently accurate work in the
world has been done by women"

Prince LeopOld's Collins.

English papers say curious incident
happened In connection with the Duke
of Albany's funeral. The officer COM
manding the detachment of the Seaforth
Highlanders found that his men were
unable to carry the body from the
Windsor Railway station. The coffins
were made in France and were of extra
ordinary thickness and size and weighed
about ton. The officer, without COM
municating with the authorities, removed
the two outer collins and took out the
shell containing the body, covered it
with the Union Jack and the pail and
the funeral procession followed the
shell. The outer collins were replaced
after the ceremony.
