 It may be that whist progressive euchre has the stronger hold upon the younger gen. eration of card players, but neither the sci ence of the one nor the hilarity of the other game can seduce an old player from his first love-the free and easy high-low-jaek alias seven up," otherwise known ''eld sledge," designated by MT. Hoyle as ''all fours." Now, by the younger generation do not mean the boys and girls, but the men up to 50 or 50 who are running the active affairs If the country to-day, who take hand at whist on the cars or after they have shut up shop and gone home at night; and by old players I mean the fathers who played cards top of flour barrel in country store till Il or 12 o'clock, and perhaps till the stage coach was ready to start in the morning, in the times when there were no railroad trains and when Lewiston was a crossroads settlement.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: If this boycotting of the COURIER is to go on-if the printers in the union demand that you discharge your workmen, and if you do not, they continue the boycott on you-there are many persons in this city who have much job printing to do, and who will be deter mined that it shall not be done by boycotters.

A New Idea I'm Coins.

A Pittsburg, Pa, man, in making
= study of the coinage question has
hit upon a plan that he has promu.-
gated to the country through PAM
phlets that is novel and would seem o
be worth attention and investigation
on its merits. This plan is to con
dollars out ofboth gold and silver in
equal value, making the center of II 0
coin gold and the outside silver, with
the outside enough thicker to
save the most precious metal in tie
center from wearing away. The
protector of this plan believes such a
device would equalize gold and silver
in coinage, and would put at rest the
specific value of silver used in coinage
through tbs association with gold
and at the same time make a dollar
for the future that would not be I'M
weildly, and that would be in that
way generally acceptable to the pub
lie. The plan OF this Pennsylvania.

use; and it is worth watching as it

"YOur Old PaintS.o

s:No man is q hero to his valet"
runs French saying. After reading
the following, from a recent Paris let
ter to the Savannah News, one is ready
to think that no artist is genius to
his grandchild:
M. Meissonier is enthusiastically
devoted to the memory of his iather,
of whom he will talk for hours. He is
very fond, too, of his children. and
they OF him. To his grandchildren
he is patron saint. But they have
little regard for his work as an artist.
He told me how Mr.. Knight gave
one of them on her birthday beau
tiful white satin fan, and how he offered
to paint a little picture on it. The
ten-year-old maiden was highly in
dignant.
II just guess you won't do any such
thing, grandpa!" she exclaimed. II
don't want my. nice fan dirtied up
with your old paints.'
"Thus, "said the great artist, "the
child scorned what the empress would
haveprized. Which is right. wonder,
the child or the empress?"

Maple Sugar.

At this season of the year maple
sugar is abundant. In order to as.
certain something about this product
reporter of the New York Mail and
Express called on one of the leading
operators in that city. He said that
the sale of maple sugar in New York
aggregates over 1 900, 900 pounds each
year. His House this season alone
handled zoo, 900 pounds.
"What becomes of SO large guam.
tity?"
"It is retailed by grocers and con
fectioners as maple sugar. But the
larger portion is boiled down into ma.
pie sirup by manufacturers, who sup
ply it to grocery stores. The car
style of packages has been made at
tractive by means of very handsome.
ly decorated labels, which add to the
present neat appearance of fancy
grocery stores. The manufacturing
Of sirup is confined mainly to
Chicago and this city. For the
last five years there has been q great
demand for maple sirup as adelicious
table food. More and more of it has
been used every year. Why? Because
it is far better than molasses or cane
sirup for buckwheat, wheat, or other
cakes, of which you know q large guam
tity is consumed. 1t is more delicious
and suitable to the palate than the
cane product, because it neither sours
on the stomach nor clogs. The time
is not far distant when the maple sir.
up will be used by every family and
every restaurant and hotel"
"How do confectioners use it?''

Winter on Mt. Washington.

I tIlC 11dTClOIu 1lIuc6s
1t is known by investigation that
the climate of the summit of Mt.
Washington, New Hampshire, winter
and summer, corresponds very closely
to that of the lower third of Green
land. Its temperature, its gales, its
deficient fora Chiefly a scanty and
coarse sedge-like grass, and the Green
land sandwort) and it's very form
alton, of jagged, bare, forbidding
granitic rocks, all correspond to the
Greenland situation. In that hyper.
borean realm, as on Mt. Washington,
a few scattering tufts of thin and
stunted sedge, and of Greenland sand
wort-which seems to be the nearest
American approach to the ed lweiss
of the Alpine slopes-can be found, in
summer, struggling out of rocky clefts
having a handful of soil and a south
ern exposure. And the winter sit
uation of both localities appears to
be as closely alike as possible. Hence
it is interesting to note that our CORE
spondent on the New England sum-
nit, in his report of the weather
for January, 1886, mentions five
gales which exceeded the seand-
ard velocity of 100 miles per hour,
and one of these registered 122 miles.
Such winds often blow away the cups
ofthe thermometer, or break the staff.
They far transcend anything known in
the character of tornadoes in these
lower lands. We do not recall any
gale in Connecticut-not the famous
September gales of 1915 and 1921,
nor the local tornado which destroyed
SO many buildings in Wallingford-
which the winds velocity probably
exceeded 80 or 80 miles per hour.
But on the most elevated point in
New England no month passes in
which these Connecticut figures are
not exceeded; and it is no very un-
common experience, up there, to meet
with gales blowing at the rate of lao
or $50 miles per hour. In April, three
years ago, a gale on Mt. Washington
blew at the appalling rate of 184
miles per hour! OF course the few
buildings on that bare, rocky summit
are securely bolted down with heavy
timbers, which meet and are locked
over the ridge, and bolted firmly into
the rocks below. To the two dwellers
in the signal station the question of
life or death is reduced to the simplest
terms, for it is merely question
whether the building itself shall be
blown, not from its moorings, but
literally into pieces.
