PATENT MAPLE SYRUP.

The Inventor, Joseph Dairy, OF Madison, says
1t Is an Improvement on the Genuine.
London Invention"
The patent maple sugar is made by simply
mixing extract of hickory with any ordinary
syrup such as cane sugar syrup or sorghum.
The patentee says:
lent manner. such as making a decoction of the
hickory bark wood percolatng liquid
through the same or drawing off the sap from
the tree. The bark or wood OF the hickory tree
may be ground to facilitate the extraction of it's
principle, and the extract may bs made more or
lass strong by increasing or diminishing the
GU ntty of bark or wood. or by boiling the ex-
tract for a longer shorter time In preparing
syrups, [ ordinarily add about three ia
bles poonfus of the decoctor to a gallon of heat
ed or boiling syrup. OF course the stronger the
extract the less the quantity required for favor
ing given amount of syrup. The syrup may
be manufactured from any kind Of saccharine
matter mixture of Saccharine matters. or the
syrups ordinarily found in the market may be
used The effect of the extract or decoction is
to give to the syrup the flavor OF the maple, pro-
ducing syrup which can not be DISTINGUISHED
from genuine maple syrup. The high price OF
maple syrup, as we'll as its scarcity throughout
the country renders this improved syrup of
great value, since a good sub be ttute for maple
syrup is thus produced which comes within the
reach of all. 1t is evident tina: the favored
syrup may be boiled down and sugar re-
sem bling maple sugar in taste NAV be produced.
In defining the limits Of my invention l would
state that | do not claim broadly the use OF
extracts of the wood bark of for
naVorlng syfups OF sugars, as am aware mat
a decocton made from the wood of the maple
has been used for the same purpose. The maple,
however, belongs to a different genus of tree
from that of the hickory, and it is well-known
that extracts of wood a rule. differ from each
other in taste, according to the nature of the
tree l have discovered that the hickory tree
will produce the flavor of the maple, and
therefore claim my invention the of the
hickory extract wherever it may be employed to
imparE an agreeable flavor. | claim:-l The
method herein described of favorng saccha-

CHAPTER II.
MOTHERS DREAM.

The joyous Christmas day had at
last ended, and the "great house" was
wrapped in silence and darkness. In
a large chamber, family lighted by
the burning logs in a wide Fireplace,
slept Walter Bowie and his young
wife Adeline, with their infant son of
the same name as his father-Walter.
The large bed, with its four tall
mahogany posts and India silk cur
tains, partly drawn, gave one the
idea of Venetian gondola, and all
the rest of the room with its simmer
ing lights and shadows on ceiling and
polished floor.
Fifty years ago was this Christmas

OF the sleepers was all the sound heard
except. from time to time, the drop

The cricket even came and sat upon
the hearth and sung its sweet and

PROHIBITION PUBLISHERS JOIN
THE DEMOCRACY.

Funk & Wagnalls are the publishers
and editor of our esteemed ally, The
Voice, the effective organ Of the Prohib-
ition party, and the appearance OF their
names in the Cleveland aud Thurman
club list, show that they have adopted
ideas which The Democratic party has
steadily endeavored to impress upon the
minds of all Prohibitionists, from the
inception Of the campaign, viz that it
would be far better for our Prohibition
friends to cast full and direct vote for
the Democratic candidates, than to fritz
ter it away on their own men, whose
election is impossible.
After all, the main purpose Of the
ProhibitiOnists in the present campaign
IS the overthrow of the Rennblican
party. In that they are in complete
harmony with the Democratic. 1t is
also a fact that the vast majority Of
ProhibitIonists believe in free trade.
Here again their interests are in un-
ison with those of the Democratic party.
They can accomplish the results they
desire much more effectively by throw
ing their united vote for Cleveland and
Thurman, rather than for Fiske and
Brooks, who stand not a ghost Of
chance of election. Our prohibition
friends should also vote for d ivid b,
Hill and Abram S. Hewitt.
The Democratic party can be entrust-
ed with the task Of regulating the liq-
uOr traffic and in return for Prohibition
aid will be willing to grant much in the
matter when the two parties differ in
opinion. -NetG York Democrat.
