Making Maple Sugar.

Sugar making has commenced in this
State and throughout New England.
The first thaw starts the sap running
from the roots, and the enterprising far
mers are ready with their augers to tap
the trees and catch the sap In the DAYS
of our grandiathers the plan was 10 cut
in the tree deep cash with an axe or
bore two-inch hole in it, Wooden
spouts and tubs were used to catch the
sap, and OK teams TO haul it on sleds TO
rough shanty in the woods, where it was
boiled down in large iron pots hung over
a fire of b'aIing logs. These pots had
to be watched night and day to prevent
boiling over. When reduced TO a syrup
1T was placed in casks and taken TO the
farm house, where the boiling was con
tinued. To prevent burning the mass
was constantly stirred until ii was pro-
nOunced done. It was then poured into
molds, and when cool produced the
solid cakes that we see in the market.
Great improvements have been intro
duced in the last few year,.
Instead Of injuring the tree by chop
ping or by boring two.inch holes in it, a
three-quarterinch hole is bored and n
tin tube inserted 10 catch the sap. This
does not hurt the tree, as the place grows
over in a couple OF years. The sap is
taken to the sugar house in neat cans, or,
In some large groves, pipe line is laid

sugar may be refined until it is nearly rs
white as cut loaf sugar. Much Of the
sugar that comes into the market ns the
first arrival Of the new crop, is last years
sugar The first sugar is not equal 20
that made toward the middle Of the sea-
son. The sap is thin and contains less
saccharine matter than il does after il
has run for a couple weeks.
Only the rock mapleis used for sugar.
The trees are in groves conta ming from
one hundred 10 one thousand trees.
These groves form what is called n sugar
bush. The trees are tapped on the south
or east side, the small trees once, and
the large ones two or three times. Land
sloping TO the south is much better for
sugar making than land that is Cat or
slopes in any other way.
The sugar maple is tree peculiar 20
this country. There are none in Europe.
and our maple sugar is as great curiosity
on the other side as their beet sugar is

A CRISIS In FRANCE.
Resignation or the Members OF
President CarnOt's Cabinet.
The Government Beaten on a Mo-
ton to Revise the Constitution.

The trouble which the French Government
has been having with General BoulNnger,
late War Minister, has resulted I'm victory
for him aud tho enforced rotiroment of
President Carnots Cabinet A Paris dis
patch gives the following PARTICULARS
The Chamber OF Deputies, by vote OF
SoS 10 2S1, despttethe opposition OF the Gov
ernment voted for urgency for the Extreme
Left bill providing for the Revision of tho
Constitution. The Government thcreupon
resigned.
NJ Iaguerre, a friend OF General Boulanger,
proposed and Nj. Ioletan supported tho
motion for urgency. ln the course Of the dis
cussion several Bonapartists declared that
they would support the demand in 80 far as
Il was an appeal 70 the people. Nj. Baudry
d'Asson lRoyalistl said that he would voto
Tor the proposal, hoping II would tend to re-
store the legitimate monarchy, which alone
could save France. Minister Niette asked
the Chamber to await the return OF Premier
Iirard from tho Senate before deciding.
III. Brisson said no was opposed 10 ro.
vision, and, alluding To General Boa
lanRer, said that the satisfaction which
would be afforded 10y the adoption OF the
measure ought not 10 be given 60 n person
who had attacked the institutions of the
country and talked Of purging the Chamber.
nj. Clemenceau favored revision, saying
that the Constitution was not in accordance
with the principles OF republican democracy.
Minister Sarrien urged the Chamber
TO reject the demand declaring that
IL was essential that no new cause
of troubles and difficulties be added
To those already existing NJ Goblet thought
that revision of the Constitution would not
improve the situation as the real remedy con
sisted In having Government supported by
the Republican majority and capable OF
witbstanding the numerous factions.
Premier Tirard, who had entered the House
during the debate, declared that he fully
agreed with M. Sarrien. II the Chamber do
clded to consider the urgency proposal tho
Ministry would decline all responsibility, as
such action on the part OF the Chamber
would furnish fresh argument i'm favor uf
the audacious manifesto issued 10y the dis
missed General.
The defeat of the Ministry causel senss-
tion In the Chamber AS soon as the vots
was announced NJ. Tirard departed for the
Elysce Palace.
Tho Chamber, after short recess, reas.
sembled at r. n. NJ. Cuneo d'OrnanO.
Bonapartist, moved that the bu.
reaus tomorrow appoint com
mittee 10 prepare for the revision OF tho
Constitution. After "A confused debate NJ.
de Sonnier OF the Left urged the Chamber 20
await the formation OF n new Cabinet NJ.
dOrnano's motion was re eiected 10y vote OF
203 To lD5, the Right cheering ironically.
The Chamber then adj djourned.
The Cabinet Council met at the Elysee

the resignation OF the Cabinet. The Minis.
ters, however, consented 70 conduct tho
affairs OF their several departments until
their successors would be appointed.

Tastc In Furnishing.

While IL is not essential that the carpet
should match the furniture and curtains,
there should be no violent contrasts, nor
should it be so brilliant as to produce an
unfavorable effect on the furniture. IL the
furniture is all Of one color, say crimson,
carpet of white and crimson, or wood
color and crimson, will look well. Sim
pie colors and patterns in n carpet are
preferable TO the brilliant and showy.
Very dark carpets are undesirable from
the fact that every speck of thread that
falls upon them shows. Tapestry Brus.
sells carpets, now in vogue, are not al.
ways desirable, as the colors are apt to
wear of. A real Brussels is dyed in the
wool, while the tapestry Brussels has the
pattern stained in after weaving, and al
though when new il looks we'll it does
not wear. OF the semi neutrals, maroon

white or much black Is an error. Some
persons object to furnishing in one color
rs not atfoiding sufficient variety. Yet
a parlor was recently furnished in crime

pleasing. The carpet was deep Grim

ture was of lighter Shade, the blending

An Explosion Causes a FrIghtTul
Disaster in Missouri

The most horrible mine disaster that has
ever occurred in the West happened at noon
Thursday in Keith q Perry's No. 6mine, near
Rich Hill, Mo, AMI as n result large num-
ber OF men were entombed and thousands Of
dollars worth ofproperty has been destroyed
A dispatch SAYS
Just at dinner hour, when the men were
ascending eight at time IN the cage,
rumbling noiss was heard, and a
moment later there was n fearful
explosion that entirely wrecked the
mine and bur cd in the debris over one hun
dred miners who were cut or from all means
OF escape. A score Of bodies have already
been removed from the shaft, while fifteen
others remain unaccOunted for. IL was inn

the unfortunates. The little village was
completely paralyzed by the horror, and men
and women we're wandering about the streets
crying. for the return OF those known 20 be

The Superintendent OF the mine was badly
Injured, but alive when taken from the shaft
His face was horribly disigured by the explo.
sion, and the flesh OF his arms was torn i'm

fun force OF one hundred men were at work
I'm the mine.
Not one OF the survivors has been able TO
give any coherent story about the shock Tho
earth seemed to snap, an the next instant all
was darkn s.
Although the mine Is six miles from town
the explosion shook every house. Nearly
every one seemed TO divine It's cause. for
the next moment saw the muddy streets
leading 70 the shaft filled with bare
headed women and children, who
screamed ns they ran. Such scenes

thousand people for tho most part women
and children in tattered clothes, were AZ the
pit filling the night air with their lamenta

Tho work Of recovering the bodies was
prosecuted with frantic haste. but the task
was 80 great as to be almost agonizinv. The
bodies already removed from the pit show
