This table will, of course, be very anus
ing to people who understand the facts.
When Mr. Gould made display of his Sc
curities a few years ago they represented
something like $50. 900, 900 only, such as they
wera and Mr.. Vanderbilt could have beaten
him by four or five times that amount. The
Aston estate probably exceeds in solid value
euler Of the Others What Mr.. Mackay is
worth in solid cash can only be guessed at,
but it is probably only a small fraction of
the sum SGT down in the table, and Senator
Jones has no right at all to appear there or
IN any list Of the richest men of this coun-
try. The Wv. Stewart" is probably the
late a. T. Stewart. We hope Mr.. Bennett
has husbandod his property as well as NJ.
de Narlgny describes. The English estates
are greatly underestimated.
Mr.. Bennett is distinguished by NJ. de
Narlgny as the only millionaire editor,
though he tells us that ''the private resi-
dence of the editor of an important paper"
IN New York was valued in 1870 at $500, 200.
de also speaks of Mr.. Bonuer's horses as
having cost $l50,00O Mr.. George Jones, of
tne Times, is described as having refused
Si,UO,OOO for his paper. But millionaire
ealtQrS are the exception, according to NJ.
Ge Varlgny, Mr.. Bennett alone figuring in
that high rank. Journalism, he explains,
rarely the career adopted by those i'm
patient Of fortune.
Among our other millionaires he puts
belmont, Westmore and Lorillard, of
view York; Mum, of Chicago, and Lyman
and Perkins, of Boston," some of which
names we do not recognize. He evidently
knows "; nothing of Moses Taylor, the Goelets,
one khinelanders, the Stuyvesants, the Stand

emitted to be named among the great mil
lonaires. We also learn for the first time
mat Mr.. William II. Vanderbilt left in gifts

The Emperor.

More favorable reports have come
from Berlin during the week. The
emperor appears to have gained some
what, but his condition is still critical,
though he has not given up hope of
recovery. There are many pathetic
scenes in the sick room giving evil
dence of the noble character of the
man. While conversing recently with
the crown prince through the medium
of pencil and paper, he wrote: "Learn
to suffer without complaining. That
is all that can teach thee" To Gen.
Won Blumenthal's letter hoping for his
speedy recovery, he wrote, 9My dear
Blumentbal, | can hardly bear it any
longer" AS Indicative of his own hu-
mility he has ordered that in prayers
in church the expression, ellis majesty
Emperor Frederick" be replaced by
"Thy servant Frederick, the emperor"
A correspondent of the New York
Times says that between the emperor's
periods of swOoning from sheer exhaus-
ton, he sits and works labOriously on,
praying only that his feeble hold of
life may be maintained until his task
is finished. The task which the dying
man thus struggles against fate to COM
plete is nothing less than new con-
stitution for Prussia. No wonder that
the writer adds, one feels that it is
good to have lived in the same epoch
with such man.

The Maple Sugar Season.
Correspondence Boston Journal.

The maple sugar season in Vermont
has been fully an average one SO far as
the quantity produced is concerned,
while the quality of the crop is superb
OF to the yield of former years. I'm
proved methods of making sugar have
been quite generally adopted by the
farmers of the state in the last few
years, and as consequence the pro-
duct of the maple orchards commands
a better average price than formerly.
The total production of sugar for the
season of 1888 is estimated at 10000
900 pounds, including 100000 gallons
of strip. The value of the crop is not
far from 81, 25O,0O0. The sugar pro-
dueing capacity of the maple forests in
the state is estimated to be fully So
600, 900 pounds, it being computed that
but 5, 1000, 900 out of a total of l5,OOO,-
600 trees are now tapped for sap. The
annual average yield of sugar has,
however, been gradually increased
since 1910, when the production was
less than one-half what it is at the
present time.

ArbOr Day.

The approach of ArbOr day makes
everything of practical nature in re-
gard to its observance of interest.
Among all the suggestions made we do
not remember to have seen one at the
same time more sensible and practical
BILE than plea in the Rural Vermont
er for the sugar maple, which, the Yer
mOnter thinks, presents unrivaled ad-
vantages for practical forestry in Yer
mont. We quote from the article:-
A tree which will pay dividends an
nually, if the owners call for them, and
which, on the recurrence of ArbOr day,
should be planted in every suitable
spot, is the sugar maple. In the dis
cussions of the schemes for establish
ing the maple sugar exchange, and on
other occasions, the maple and its pro-
duct. the possibilities of this imperfect
" developed industry, have been kept
before the public during the past year.
The maple affords, perhaps, the best
subject among all Vermont trees, for
the practice of forestry that pays cash
dividends annually. The farmer who
has maple woodland and takes no pains
to maintain and improve the growth,
to harvest yearly the largest and best
crop of sugar he can make, is not I'M
like "the Improbable servant" in tue
parable.
These suggestions are worthy of con-
sideration on the part of Vermont
farmers, and can easily be carried out.
