The Chihuahua (Mexico) Enterprise
reports the discovery of some remarkable
ancient ruins on a hill or mountain four
leagues south of Magdalena, in Sonora.
The hili is about 700 feet high, and half
way up there is a layer of gypsum which
is as white as snow, and may be cut into
any conceivable shape, yet sufficiently
hard to retain its shape after being cut
In this layer of stone are cut hundreds
upon hundreds of rooms from 6x10 to
16xis feet square. So even and true are
the walls, floor and ceiling, so plumb and
level, as to defy variation. There are no
windows in the rooms, and but one en-
trance, which is always from the top.
The rooms are. but eight feet high from
floor to ceiling. The stone is so white
that it seems almost transparent, and the
rooms are not at all dark. On the walls
Of these rooms are numerous hieroglyph-
les and representations of human
beings cut in the stone in different places
but. strange to say, all the hands have
five fingers and thumb and the feet
have six toes. Charcoal is found on the
floors of many Of the rooms; implements
of every description are to be found. The
houses OF rooms are one above the other

tween each story there is jog or recess

There was a fire in New York city last

fires; twenty-three fatally injured; 1O2
seriously and 1870 slightly. Altogether
there are 104, tOs buildings in the city,
exclusive of sheds. The number of
buildings uptown has increased, and the
number downtown decreased, as large
structures take the place of many small
ones. In 1883 there were 1875 alleged
fireproof buildings in New York. At
the end of 1885 they had increased to
$40, while the buildings that are over
four stories high had increased from
s,251 to IA, 199. These facts are CON
tanned in the annual report of the fire
department.

The Maple Sugar and Syrup Trade.

At this season of the year maple sugar
is abundant. In order to ascertain some
thing about this product, a reporter for
the New. York Nail and cypress called
on one Of the leading operators in that
city. He said that the sale of maple
sugar In New York aggregates over a
million of pounds each year. His house
this season alone handled 200, 900 pounds.
"What becomes of so large a guam
tityq"
1T is retailed by grocers and confec-
tioHers as maple sugar. But the larger
portion is boiled down into maple syrup
by manufacturers, who supply it to
grocery stores. The can style of pack
ages has been made attractive by means
of very handsomely decorated labels,
which add to the present neat appear
ance of fancy grocery stores. The manu-
featuring of syrup is confined mainly to
Chicago and this city. For the past five
years there has been qSgreat demand for
maple syrup as a delicious table food.
More and more aa4lt has been used every
year Whyl Because it is far better
than molasses or cane syrup for buck
wheat, wheat or other cakes, of which
you know 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 far distant when the
maple syrup will be used by every family
and every restaurant and hotel.
How do cOnfectiOners use itln
"They use more maple sugar than
syrup. They buy the pure product, and
make it 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

ENsIonEPPs. .TsEeoLoR-aaARnn

Ensign Epps. at the battle Of Flanders,
sowed a seed Of glory and duty
That flowers and flames in heightand beauty
Like a crimson lily with heart Of gold,
To-day, when the wars of Ghent are old
And buried as deep as their dead oon-
manders.
Ensign Epps was the color-bearsr-
No matter on which side, Philip or Earl
Their cause was the shell-his deed was tia
pearl.
Scarce more than a lad, be had been .
sharer
T'l7t day in the widest work Of the ield,
He was wounded and spent, and the fight was
lost;
His comrades were slain or scattered host,
But stainless and scatheless out Of the strife
he had carried his colors safer than Life
BY the rivers brink, without a weapon a
shield,
He faced the victors The thick heart-mist
He dashed from his eyes, and the silk he
kissed
Ere he held it aloft in the setting sun,
As proudly as il the fight were won,
And he smiled when they ordered him TO
yield.
Ensign Epps, with his broken blade,
Cut the silk from the gilded staff,
Which he posed like spear till the charge
was made
And hurled at the leader with laugh,
The round his breast, like the scarf of love,
BE tied the colors his heart above,
And plunged in his armor into the tide.
And there in his dress of honor, be died.
Where are the lessons your knglings teachl
And what is the text of your proud COM
mendersl
Out of the centuries heroes reach
With the scroll of a deed, with the word of q
story
OF one mans truth and Of all mems glory,
Like Ensign Epps at the battle of Flanders.

it seems impossible TO dislodge. They
are official favorites, and we call them
'Coburgers.' There are scores of them in
the navy department here. I know of

We read in the Florida Herald that
ssthe eyes of the Northern mill men are
turning eagerly to the comparatively
virgin foreSts Of the South, and heavy
sales of timbered land are constantly be-
ing announced. If the ravenous saw
must be fed, and no better and cheaper
building material than wood can be de-
vised, then the people of the South
should not dispose of their heritage for
mere pittance Of its actual value. These
huge tracts of yellow pine can be con-
verted into yellow gold, and should not
be sacrificed as a worthless possession.
We should make the most of our oppor-
tunities, and not yield too readily to the
pressure Of greenbacks. These huge
areas of undisturbed trees are daily en-
HANGING in value and Importance as the
supply in the North and West diminishes.
Ii is idle to talk Of the 'inexhaustible
forests of the South, when Mr.. Little OF
Montreal, an authority on the subject,
estimates that the saving capacity of the
North is sufficient to consume the mer-
chantable pine of this State in less than
a yp4r. The South possesses mines Of
wealth in her noble forests, and they
should not be disposed of carelessly, and
without fun appreciation of their true
and real value"

A leading Northern physician calls at
tention to the fact that one of the most
common and fatal forms Of disease at this
season of the year, especially if the tenn
perature is above the freeziag- point, is
pneumonia. The illness results from ex-
posure to violent changes in the atmos-
phere, such as are experienced on going
from overheated rooms into the damp,
chill air outside without sufficient protec-
tion in the form of wraps. Men are
tempted to leave off overcoats when
called to go short distances, and women
neglect to put on the same weight of gar
ments for a brief walk which they are
accustomed to wear under ordinary cir
cumstances out of doors. This folly is
too apt to be indulged in by persons who
room in one house and take meals in an
other ''It is only step" they say, but
that STEP may be long enough to pro-
duce thorough chill, which induces the
conditions favorable to disease. Another
danger, particularly to women, lies in the
thin-soled shoes worn without rubbers.
Ladies clothed in heavy furs and woolen
are frequently seen upon the wet streets
shod with light foot-gear, regardless of
the fact that the extremities are the parts
which should be best protected. These
common means of defying the simplest
laws of health keep the doctors busy and
increase the mortality statistics of cities.
