Another common sight in the streets of
Feheran is the itinerant barber. The Koran

Maple sugar and Syrmp.

AT this season of the year maple sugar 10
abundant. In order TO ascertain something
ibont this product reporter called on one
u the leading operators in this city. He
said that the sales of maple sugar in New
York aggregate over million Of pounds
each year. His house this season alone
handled 100000 pounds.
g What becomes OF so large quantity z"
at is retailed by grocers and confection-
ers as maple sugar. But the larger portion
10 boiled down into maple syrup, by mann
facturers, who supply 1t to grocery stores
The can style of packages has been made
attractive by means of very handsome deco
rated labels, which add to the present neat
appearance of fancy grocery stores. The
manufacturing OF syrup is confined mainly
10 Chicago and this city. For the past five
years there has been n great demand for
maple syrup rs delicious table food.
More and more of it has been used every
year. Why? Because it is far better than
molasses or cane syrup for buckwheat,
wheat, or other cakes, Of which you know
n large quantity 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 fal
distant when the maple syrup will be used
by every family and every restaurant aud
hotel.'
How do confectioners use itf"
"rhey use more maple sugar than syrup.
They buy the pure product, and make il
into candies of various varieties, for which
the sugar is very suitable. The price of
maple sugar in cans and tubs is about two
cents per pound higher than cane sugar"

Disease induced ~ Mouth Rrsa.hlss.

Disease induced by Areuth RrezthinR.
Mouth breathing, = said distinguished
physician, lis curious affiiction. Il "a
more common than is supposed, occurs in
infancy, at manhood and at middle age,
and causes good deal of suffering Yet
1t is strange thing that people in general
do not seem to pay any attention to this
affection when occurring in their own fami-
lies, in spite of the manner in which it dis
torts the face, until some natural disease
sets in and medical aid is necessary. Even
the physicians do not seem to reflect that
this trouble may cause any one of large
number of diseases affecting the system in
general. Why" continued the doctor,
g you can tell one of these mouth breathers
anywhere the moment you see him. From
disease of the nose his lips are retracted,
his mouth continually open, his gums re-
cede and his teeth protrude, particularly
those in the upper jaw, the flesh that forms
the lower part of the nostrils are diminished
in size, there are wrinkles at the outer edge
of the eyes and deep lines run from the
nostrils to the angles Of the mouth. These
all give the person either an expression Of
iaiocy, stiffness or suffering. But the prin-
cipal thing added the doctor, lis the
necessity OF parents and nurses watching
children when they fall asleep and prevent
ing them from breathing with their mouths
open. In growing persons diseases of the
nose and throat may lead to mouth breath.

eating and speaking only; and il they fall
asleep with their mouths open the lips

The Great White Bear of the Polar

II we did not know it to be SO, it would
be hard to believe that any animal could
make its home in the mids. of the almost
perpetual snow and ice of the far north
And yet many more animals than are gen.
orally supposed to do SO live in that intense
cold, and have accommodated themselves
to their surroundings. For example, the
mosquito has been found as far north as
man has ever gone.
The white bear deserves attention for the
manner in which it has adapted itself to its
strange mode of life.
II is not called an amphibious animal
but might probably be so called, for 1t i,
perfectly at home in the water,--indeed II
has been known to pursue and capture so
nimble fish as the salmon.
The polar BEARS foot is unusually long
and broad even for bears foot, aud this
popularity aids in enabling it to swim
rapidly. Bnt the great foot is of most use
in crossing the slippery ice or crusted snow.
The under part of the foot is covered with
long, soft fur, which answers the double
purpose OF keeping the foot warm in spite
Of the constant contact with the cold ice
md OF preventing the awkward slipping
which would certainly occur If the sole o
he foot were hard and smooth.

Students Of maps may have noticed upon
nearly all maps of Colorado issued during
ths past twenty years settlement indicat-
ed upon White River, near the western
boundary of the State, denominated Gold
en- or Goblin City. This is curious ex-
ample OF the persistence of geographical
blunder. Many years ago an army expedi
ion traversed this region, going from Fort
Bridger, Wy. T., to old Fort Massachusetts,
Col. In this neighborhood are bad lands,
ero6ed into curious forms, which naturally
suggest ruined ciiy aud the commander
Of the expedition gave the locality the name
of Goblin City, which name appeared on
his map. The map-makers in their haste
TO fill up the blanks in the unsettled region,
jumped to the conclusion that this was
veritable settlement and gave it q place
on their maps-a place which it Inns
ever since retained. Not only have
she commercial inap-malers, almost
without exception, fallen into this error,
out such authorities as the United States
Engineer Office and General Land Office
have adopted it. The name has, however
been gradually changed from Goblin ts
Goldin, and thence to Golden City, while
more than one enterprising map-maker,
reasoning, probably that n city cannot exist
without means of communication with other
settlements, has constructed on paper a
road down the White River to it. 1t is
scarcely necessary to add that there is not,
and never was settlement in this neigh
borhood

POETRY



thou Guest 50 long delayed,
Surely, when the house was made,
In its chambers wide and free
There was set place for thee.
Surely, In some room was spread
For thy sake snowy bed,
Decked with linen white and fine,
Meet, o Guest, for use OF thine.
Yet thou hast not kept the trysf,
Other guests our lips have kissed,
Other guests have tarried long,
Wo0ed with sunshine and with SOM;
For the year was bright with May,
All the birds kept holiday,
And the skies were clear and blue
When this house OF ours was new.
Youth came In with US to dwell,
Crowned with rose and asphodel;
fingered long. and even yet
Cannot quite his haunts forget
Love hath sat beside our board,
Brought us treasures from his hoard,
Brimmed our cups with fragrant wine,
Vintage OF the hills divine.
Down our garden path he strayed,
Young Romance, IN light arrayed;
JOY hath flung her garlands wide,
Faith sung low at eventIie;
Care hath fiiftaa In an out.
Sorrow strewn her weeds about:
Hope held up her torch on high
When clouds darkened all the sky.
Pain, with pallid lips and thin,
Oft hath slept our house within;
life hath called us loud and long,
With q voice OF trumpet strong.
Sometimes we have thought, Guest,
Thou vert coming with the rest,
Watched TO see thy shadows fall
on the inner chamber wall
Fer we know that, soon or late,
Thou wilt enter at the gate,
Cross the threshold, pass the door
Glide at WIN from floor TO floor,
When thou contest, by this sign
We shall know thee, Quest divine.
Though alone thy coming be,
Some ore must go forth with thee.
