The primary election system has its good
features along with its disadvantages, the
worst of which is its prostitution by Republi-
cans to work injury to the Democratic party
where the election is in the hands of careless
or indifferent judges. This has brought the
system in bad repute in this county more
than any one other cause. Why, even the

cratic primary election the spring before,

"We both need spectacles,' said
Mrs. Christy. "My dear, neither of us
can laugh at the other. We are both

told her story it became very plain to
all of them that the peddler who had
stolen the coat, spoons and counterfeit
bill from Mrs. Christy had by chance
entered Mr.. Christy's office in his bus
mess travels; that he had sold him
back his own stolen coat, his own
plated spoons, under the guise OF a
wonderful bargain in solid silver; and
that for the shawl, which had been
part payment for vases not worth three
dollars he had received five. g.
Happily the Christy family were toll
erably well off, and could afford to
laugh at the farce in which they
had taken so prominent part, and
Mrs. Christy declared she was glad to
recover the shawl that her husband re-
membered her in in her counting days.
A member of the police force called
shortly after to state that the thief
could not be traced, and was no doubt
a very cunning fellow; but the Christy
family did not contide their joke to this
worthy officer. They kept it in the

MAKING MAPLE SUGAR.
How Our Grandfathers' Methods Differed
from Those of To-day.

from Those of To-day.
The first thaw starts the sap running
from the roots, and the enterprising
farmers are ready with their augurs to
tap the trees and catch the sap. In
the days of our grandfathers the plan
was to cut in the tree u 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 is boiled down in large
iron pots hung over fire of blazing
log=. These pots had to be watched
| night and day to prevent boiling over.
! When reduced to syrup it was placed
in casks and taken to the farm house.
where the boiling was continued. 10
prevent burning, the mass was con-
stantly stirred until it was pronounced
done. 1t was then poured into molds,
and when cool produced the solid
cakes that we see in market. Great inn
provrments have been introduced in
the last few years.
Instead of injuring the tree by chop
ping or by boring two-incn holes in it,
a three-quarter-inch hole is bored, and
a tin tube inserted to catch the sap.
This does not hurt the tree, as the
place grows over in a couple of years.
The sap is t4ken to the sugar-house in
neat cans, or in some large groves a
pipeline is laid to do this service.
Evaporating pans, that produce a vac
uum and boil down twice as much sap
and use one-quarter of the amount OF
fuel, now replace the old iron 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 ar
rival of the new crop, is last years
sugar remelted. The first sugar is not
equal to that made toward the middle
of the season. The sap is thin and con-
tains less saccharine matter than il
does after it has run for couple of
weeks.
Only the rock maple is used for
sugar. The trees are in groves con-
tanning from one hundred to one thou
sand trees. These groves form what
is called 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 max
ing 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 Eu-
rope, and our maple sugar is as, great
a curiosity on the other side as their
beet sugar is here. N 7. Mail and Ec-
