Stocks ana Cattle Markets.

New YORK, Dec. 6.-The action
of the Missouri Pacific directors, which
became known generally after the close of
the board last evening, was the main
cause of the complete change in the tenn
per of local spectators and to-day's stock
market was in marked contrast to that of
yesterday, being strong almost through
out the entire day, although the general
advance was made in the evening, when
shorts ran TO cover very freely. There
was more confidence all around displayed
than has been seen in weeks and buying
for long account was renewed after long
interruption, the feeling in favor of a
higher range of values becoming very
pronounced. The close was active and
decidedly strong at the highest prices of
to-day.

Say the doctors-and who shall say
chem Maya special predisposition seems
requisite to the development of rhehma-
tism. Where there is this tendency, most
of US know from observation what a deep
hold disease takes whence once incurred
and neglected for a short time. Is not
this a sound text, then, from which to
advocate the early use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters in a malady so hard to
dislodge as rheumatism Another thing.
1t is well ascertained that a falling off in
yigor, resulting from Indigestion and mall
nutrition. increases liability to rheuma-
tism. What, then, is more likely to act
as a preventative-aside from its remedial
action-than this potent r~ectificr of the
gastric troubles that increase,the rheumatic
tendency. Malaria, constipation, dyspep-
STA, biliousness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, debility and kidney troubles succumb
to this genial preventative and remedy.

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 10 tap
the trees and oatch the sap. sIhe days
of our grandlathers the plan was to cut
in the tree a deep cash with an axe or
bore a two-inch hole in it, Wooden
spouts and tubs were used to catch the
sap, and OK teams to haul it on sleds to 4
rough shanty in the woods, where it was
boiled down in large iron pots hung over
fire of blazing logs. These pots had
to be watched night and day to prevent
boiling over. When reduced to q syrup
1t was placed in casks and taken n tine
farm house, where the-boiling was con-
tinued. To prevent burning the mass
was constantly stirred until it was pro-
nounced done. 1t 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 years.
Instead of injuring the tree by chop
Ping or by boring two-inch holes in it, a
three quarter hole is bored and a
tin tube inserted to catch the sap. This
does not hurt the tree, as the place grows
over ina couple of years. The sap is
taken to the sugar-house in neat cans, or,
in some large groves, pipe line is laid
to DO this service. Evaporating pans,
that pro luce vacuum and boil down
twice as much sap, and use one quarter
the amount of fuel, now replace the old
Oh. kettles. A good quality of maple
sugar may be refined until it is nearly as
white as cut loaf sugar Much of the
sugar that comes into the market as the
first arrival of the new crop, is last years
sugar. The first sugar is not equal to
that made toward the middle of the sea-
son. The sap is thin and contains less
saccharine matter than it does after it
has run for a couple weeks.
Only the rock maple is used for sugar.
The trees are in groves conta ming frcm
one hundred to one thousand trees.
These groves form what is calico a sugar
bush.N The trees are tapped on the south
or east side the small trees once, and
the large ones two or three times. Land
sioping to the south'is much better for
sugar m liking than land that is fat or
slopes in any other way.
The sugar maple is a tree peculiar to
this country. There are none in Europe,
and our maple sugar is as great curiosity
on the other side as their beet suhar is

Uncomfortable Forces.

Every now and then we get a reminder
of TIC existence Of uncomfortable cle-
mer~befoTe which man is helpless, and
against which 10 invention can ever Sc
cure safety.
We have disastrous tempests on the
high seas.
We have destructive Billiards like
those in Dakota.
We have occasional warnings of danger
from the slumbering earthquake.
We have extraordinary SHOW storms
which stop the wheels of traffic and in
terrupt our industries.
We have the lightning that threatens.
We have the times of bqle(ul weather.
and solar fires that are almost con
suming.
We are as helpless in the presence Of
these elemental forces as were the men
who lived when first the human race
took up its parable.
Aud the men who live in the last days
OF the earth will be Just as helpless.
But this fact need not prevent US from
enjoying the halcyon years, with their
varying seasons, during the whole course
of which mankind have felt reasonably
secure against the menacing agencies
which they cannot control.-Ae0 l0rk

bosom friend, detailing his good looks,
the amount of his fathers fortune aud
his general perfections, and declaring
that be was by far the most desirable
'cateh' in town. And Lefty had come
to have a certain timid CONSEQUENCES
concerning him, because he always
looked at her so steadily when he met
her, not to say stared. She looked up
at him now in tremulous shyness.

she gave the little music teacher aud her

walked on; but Mr.. Gibson seemed TO
gain enthusiasm. -.
