Mr. James Eggleston, whose name has
been familiar to Bangor people as the mana

business in New England for a number Of
years, has resigned his position with that
company. The business of the American

some few years since, the purchase OF the

Mr.. Eggleston is undoubtedly one OF the

| Among the curious inventions for which a
| patent has been granted is one to Josiah
| Daily, of Madison, Ind, by which anybody
| who likes maple sugar and maple syrup may
readily supply himself at small cost If
| the patentees statement is correct, it is no
| longer necessary to go through the tedious
| and exhausting labors of tree tapping and
syrup boiling in order to obtain maple sugar.
The patent maple sugar is made by simply
mixing an extract of hickory with any ord
mary syrup, such as cane sugar syrup or
sorghum. The patentee says: 1.-The extract
is to be obtained in any convenient manner,
such as making Il decoction of the hickory
bark or wood, or percolating 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
its principle, and the extract may be made
more or less strong by increasing or dimin-
ishing the quantity of bark or wood, or by
boiling the extract for a longer or shorter
time. In preparing syrups | ordinarily add
about three tablespoonfuls of the decoction
to gallon of heated or boiling syrup. OF
course the stronger the extract the less the
quantity required for flavoring a given
amount Of syrup. The syrup may be manu-
featured from any kind of saccharine matter
or mixture of saccharine matters, or the
syrups ordinarily found in the market NAV
be used. The effect of the extract or decoc-
tion is 10 = re to the syrup the flavor of the
maple, " ducing a syrup which cannot be
distinguished from genuine maple syrup. 1t
is evident that the favored syrup may be
boiled down and a sugar resembling maple
sugar in taste may be produced Scientific

MANUAL TRAINING.


| Ahe new departure III tbe hOch
Island Public school COurse-MigE
Authority on the subject,
Apropos of the fact that the board Of
education of this city has given its sane
ton TO the introduction of calisthenics in
the higher grades of the Rock Island pub
lie schools, as an experiment, few OF
the suggestions contained in the address
of exsPresident r. B. Hayes a,
n gathering in Cleveland of the alumni
and friends of the Ohio Wesleyon Uni
versity recently, will be of interest
General Hayes made n strong plea for the
introduction at once of manual and
physical training IN that college, and he
advocated the continuation of the same
course of training in the advanced grades
of the public schools. "All that eiuca-
| ton has done for some families" said
| General Hayes, sis to make it harder to
live. 1t has created new demands, but
cultivated no adequate habits or aptitude
for meeting them. The trouble is not
with what we now have IN the college,
but with what we have not"
The introduction of calistheniCs in our
public schools is n movement fully in
harmony with the views of the distin-
guished Ohoan. The demand for a
closer connection between hand and BRAIN
in the matter of education is not only
arr nil inn, ti,yo Int l., ;rr
its way into the very highest schools of
learning, and the public school is but
adding an essential feature to the course
which the student must take in his pre-
paratory studies before entering college

as well as liberalty in the gift of $50, 900 |

| sit is sheer nonsense. That badness is
more prevalent than it was generation or
| two ago is doubtless true, but the fact is
| owing to the neglect of and disregard fornat-
ural laws that cannot be evaded with impu-
| nifty with regard to the hair any more than
| when the stomach or liver are concerned.
Men who take plenty of exercise, live regu-
| larly ami wear proper covering on their
heads will not he troubled with badness to
any greater extent than were their fathers
and grandfuthers
"Whut do you regard as the chief cause of
the prevalence Of bald headed men:'
"EXpcriencc and observation have led me
to the firm belief that in majority of cases
baldms7 is due to the style of hats that have
been in vogue for generation or more
Nine men out of ten in professional and
commercial circles wear either the high silk
hat OF the hard felt hat commonly known as
the Derby. The hair bulbs of the scalp are
nourshed by the blood which is supplied by
arteries on the front, back and rear of the
head. These arteries divide into branches as
they extend toward the top of the head, so
that nourishment is carried to all parts of
the scalp.
Nov, if you shut off to any great extent
the supply of blood which these conduts are
meant to carry TO all portions of tho scalp
for the nourishment of the scalp, the newt
able result will be the destruction of the hair
follicles and bulbs, and the consequent loss
of the hair from lack Of something to feed
upon. This is just the effect produced by the
hats to which | have referred, or by any
other form of head covering which constructs
the arteries and veins Ivy which the blood is |
conducted to and returned from the scalp |
That such compression Is almost inevitable |
is plain. They lie upon the hard surface of |
the skull, protected only by a thin tissue, |
and when a close fitting, unyielding and |
heavy hat is placed upon the head it acts |
like tourniquet, and in great measure re-
tards the natural action of the blood, which |
is SO necessary to the healthfulness of any
portion of the system.
THAT this is the great cause of the COM
mon form of badness is also shown by the |
fact that mechanics, laborers and the like
who ordinarily wear loose fitting, well ven
tilated headgear, are not more prone to bald
hess than were their predecessors of half a
century New York Mail and Express
