The maple sugar season, writes Kan
dolpn, N. y, correspondent to the New York
Sun, opens with the present thaw, after an
unusually cold winter, which, the farmer
says, assures fine and generous run of sap,
and consequent abundance OF sugar.
Cattaraugus County annually produces
about 100000 pounds of maple sugar. more
than one.half OF which Is manufactured
within twelve miles of Randolph, which is
situated on q prolific hardwood range st the
headwaters OF the Allegheny River. This
season promises TO outrivsl all Others and il
is an open secret that the natural product
will be stimulated by a generous sdmixture
of muscovado sugar, cheap grades OF which
may be had at six and one.half cents a
pornd, while the maple is worth twelve and
one half cents a pound. One local dealer
says that be has disposed OF ten barrels OF
brown sugar to single proprietor OF ''sap
bush"
The methods OF maple sugar manufacture
have changed since the days when the boys
were kept out oil school the latter part OF the
winter term to gather elders, from which the
nth was forced and the bark stripped oil,
making tube through which the sap was to
he conduci, d TO the open wooden bucket.
Then the trees were bored with augcrs, the
taps introdu ced, and the work OF gathering
the sap begun, the product going TO q huge
log trough half filed with leaves. which
gave 10 the sugar the sroma and flavor oil
the spicy woods, including worms. sDails
etc
Now the taps are perforated steel tubss
driven in with hammer; the buckets are
of tin, ard closely covered; the trough has
given place TO the cabinet, fitted with pipe:
leading to the boiling pan, and all are con
tanned in neat building. The product ID
much lighter ooiorsd, and IL lacks the flavor
OF other days.

An eminent London physician, DR.. era
ham, is reported as having said so ne good
things on the subject of colds, and which are
in the main accordant with rational ana
hygisnic views. For instance: ut IS not q
correct practice, after cold is caught, 20
make the room person sits in much
warmer than usual, to increase the quantity
OF bec-clothes, wrap up IN flannel aud drink
large quantity OF hot tea Cruel, or other
alops, because IL will invariably increase the
feverishness, and in the majority of instances
prolong, rather than lessen, the duration
of the cold. 1t is we'll known that confin-
ing inoculated persons in warm rooms will
make their small poI more violent by aug
mentiDg the general heat and fever; and 1t
is for the same reason that a similar prac.
tice in the present complaint is attended
with analogous results, a cold being in real
iy slight fever. In some parts OF Egg
land, among the lower order of people, a
large glass of cold spring water, taken on
going to bed, is found to BIS O successful
remedy. and. in fact, many medical prac-
utioDers recommend a reduced atmosphere
and frequent draughts Of cold fluid as the
cold, particularly when the patients

Graham further says: 1T is generally
supposed that it is tho exposure to cold or

A Town With Novel Smells.

Hollow Is not an attractive town.
The streets of the suburb outside the
wall are even narrower than those of
ordinary small towns in China, much
dirtier, and the visitor, who has al
ready some knowledge of China, de-
tects few varieties of bad smell that
impress him with the idea of absolute
novelty. The inhabitants show the
mixed types of Fokien and Kwang-
tung, with such indigenous elements
as have, during many thousands of
years, been finding their way here
from the mainland of the peninsula of
Father India, or the islands that lie to
the southwark of 1t. They are well
disposed and far less curious than the
Chinese of mainland cities. The shops
contain such Chinese goods as are
suited to population of this class.
with odds and ends of European and
American notions which have within
thirty years found their way to the
most retired villages in the interior of
Asia. The markets make liberal dis
play of excellent fish and pork, which
is considered the diet in China, and,
what can not be seen elsewhere, a
kind of water-snake Cfor sale at the
fish-stalls), which is esteemed del
icacy by the Hainanese. The dress is
with some variations, that of the
Kwang-tung province. The language
heard in the street is so different from
that of the mainland as to be hardly
Ineligible to native of Canton. The
houses are of lava-stone, or brick, one
story in height, and though swarming
with pigs, dogs, and vermin, are per-
manent and comfortable in climate
that is always cool and sometimes
cold in winter. The residents of the
merchants and officials are spacious.
The guilds have large halls, or detach-
ed buildings, conspicuous by their
Chinese ornaments in front, their two
lofty poles bearing huge baskets, and
a stage where theatrical representa-
tions are occasionally given. The wall
of the old town is not crenelated. The
streets within it are broader and clean
er and the shops larger and better
stocked. The foreigners connected
with the customs and consulates are
comfortably domestlcated in Chinese
houses, no European residences hav-
ing been built during the eight years
since Hollow became an open port

Murder of a Japanese DipIomatist

Thither the following day the lady fol-
lowed him. and ultimately they pro-
ceeded together to Rotterdam, alight-
ing at the Hotel de Hollande. There
a fresh quarrel took place on Sunday
morning, in the course of which the
lady drew revoller from her pocket
and fired at her paramouer. The ball
penetrated the right temple of Sakura-
da, who was at once conveyed to the
Rotterdam hospital, where he expired
