A close listed man who wished to
build a picket fence round his grounds
haggled long with the village carpen-
ter, an excellent workman, about the
cost of erecting it. AT last the carpen-
ter agreed to build certain sort of
fence for sum much lower than he
had originally asked, and was told to
go ahead"
When a dozen yards of the fence had
been built the owner of the grounds
saw that it was a much better job than
he had contracted for.

ter, you don't suppose I'm going to
pay for such high priced job as that,

ic; you'll pay what you agreed to and

Some EIonuent Figures.

From the Daily Tribune of May 81, 1890.
1t is one of the distinctive features
of The Tribune that~it is an almoner
of popular charities on "a large scale.
Once a week during the summer
months one half or, sometimes two
thirds of a column is devoted to ac-
acknowledgements of receipts for the
Fresh-Air Fund. This is practically
all that the readers of this journal
see in print of the operation OF this
beautiful charity, with the exception
of an occasional reference to the sub
ject on this page. 10 other well-or-
ganized system of relieving the hard
ships OF the pooE in overcrowded
cities is conducted, SO nOiselessly and
with so little ostelfation. The work
is carried on from year to year on a
self-sustaining basis almost without
public observation yet the results
are of remarkable magnitude. we
invite the attentionNOf chronic pessl-
mists, who are constantly complain
ing that the press is an organized
agency for assailing private reputa-,

history of circuses that has ever remained the

that length of time. 1t never changed it's
name; it never was owned by a company a
trust, or firm. 1t always has been and
it always will be managed by a Forepaugh

The Maple Sugar Bounty.

Most of the changes in the McKin
ley bill proposed by the finance com
mittee of the Senate are not, in our
Judgment, improvements, but some
of them are to correct what, from an
eastern mans standpoint, were mis-
takes in the measureas it passed the
House One ofthese amends the sugar
schedule so as to give the bounty
of two cents a pound to all maple
sugar-makers as well as to those who
manufacture sugar from cane, beets
and sorghum, with the provision that
no bounty shall be paid to any one
who does not produce five hundred
pounds in a year. OF course there
was never any sound reason why the
maple sugar-makers of the East
should not be as well treated as the
cane and sorghum growers of the
South and West, and it would have
been rank injustice to have left them
out in the cold when a bounty was
being distributed. There is, we know,
general impression which even in
this section of the country, that the
maple sugar business does not
amount to much, an impression
which is probably due to the fact that
it is scattered amongso many people
and is generally an incidental to some
other calling-and that the product
is more of a luxury than a necessity.
1t is like the berry business only more
so. No body makes a livingat it. 1t
furnishes employment to those who
engage in it nlSNl@-xeeks in a
year and is profitable only because it
is carried on a time when they have
not much else to do. 1t does not en-
ploy much capital and the product
does not figure much in market re-
ports. Nevertheless about one-tenth
of the sugar crops of the country
comes from the maple orchards of
few northern states. According to
the census of 1880, the maple sugar
product of the United States in 1879
was SO, $40, 661 pounds of sugar and
| 1,796, 04S gallons of molasses. 1t is
not probable that these figures will
be greatly changed by the present
census, and it can readily be seen
what advantage a bounty of two
cents a pound will confer upon the
farmers who are accustomed to de-
pend upon their sugar orchards for
the money with which to pay their
| taxes, and when to this is added the
saving which will result from free re-
fined sugar the cost of which is one OF
the principal items in every mans
store bills, it is clear enough that in
one respect, at least, the Mckinley
bill as amended is good one for
great many worthy people in the
East.-MiIOr ana Farmer.

Curious Definitions,

MANY of the definitions in the En-
glish dictionary of 1926 are amusing,
and some of them ludicrously absurd.
The ''pole" is described as ''the end of
the axletree whereon the heavens do
move" very primitive explana-
ton. The "Hebridean wave" seems
rather poetic substitute for the Irish
sea, and badger" is a still more ex-
traordinary equivalent for corn mer-
chant-''one that buys corne or other
victual in one place to sell it in an
other" Still funnier are some of the
natural history definitions. A ''baboon"
is said to be "a beast like an ape, but
fare bigger" '1ynx" is "a spotted
beast-it hath most perfect sight, in
somuch as it is said it can see thorow a
wall" The account of the ''salaman-
DER reads like an elaborate joke-'a
small. venomous beast with foure feet
and a short taile; it lives in the fire,
and at length, by his extreme cold,
puts out the fire."
Turning to more general topics we
have the alphabet" defined as the
''cross rowe of letters" and ''an abece
darian" is lone who teaches the cross
rowe"
Then from classic times the ''Olym
pic games" are solemn games of activ-
ity," and 'Amphitritea is not, as usual,
the goddess of the sea, but the ''sea'
itself. Mathematics" and ''mathe
maticians' are hardly dealt with. The
latter means "a soothsayer," and the
science as defined includes nearly al
knowledge the arts of arithmetic,
musick, geographic, geometrie, astron
omy, astrology, cosmOgraphy," remind
! ing one of the trivium and quadriviun
of the school men of the Middle Ages
'Actresse" has very literal and inter
esting signifcation-''a woman doer,
but at this decade of the Seventeenth
century there were no actresses in thu
modern sense of the term, the femal,
parts being then taken by boys o
young men, Women actors first ap
peared in 1660.-Chambers Journal.
