SPRUCE GUM.
How It Is Gathered in Vermont, and
How 1t Is Disposed OF

How'll Is Disposed OF
In November, when thecold weather
has fairly set in, the gathering of
spruce gum begins in Vermont. Gen
alne spruce gum has almost entirely
disappeard from the Bennington mar
ket as irregular article ofmerchandise.
Formerly the supply was abundant,
the price low and the quality first.
class.
But the supply now largely depends
on chance, the gum pickers not being
SO numerous or Industrious as in
former years, as there is little money
IN the business. The sawmill, pulpmill
and forest fires have wrought such
devastation amongthe big tracts OF
spruce trees which formerly clothed
the Green Mountains, that the occupa-
ton OF the gumpicker is almost gone.
Sometimes a lumberman OF noun
tanner in Woodford, a town adioin-
ing Bennington on the east, discovers
a tree that will yield several pounds
OF marketa BILE gum, which is brought
to Bennington, Whereit finds a ready
market at good prices.
The price depends entirely upon the
quality, ranging all the way from SO
cents to $l.5O q pound. Gum ofpoor
quality is readily distinguished by it's
opaqueness and by its intimate adj
mixture OF minute bits OF bark, which
became entangled with the gum when
1T exuded from hetree in q semi-liquid
state. Poor gum is further distin-
pushed as being too heavy or too
light, bitter and permanently sticky
to the teeth in some cases, and hard
ndcrumbly in other specimens. Gum
OF the finest grade is either translu-
cent or transparent, Of a light amber
color, filled more Or less with the
minute bubbles ofair, breaking with a
short shining fracture and having @
sweet, peculiar and balsamic odor and
taste. The word gum" however, is
popularity misapphed, as the sustance
is a resinous matter
Aconsiderable portion ofthe gum
offered for sale in Bennington is sent
West IN small packages by mail. The
reason for this is that large numbers
OF Eastern peoplewho have gone West
send back to their old home for small
supplies at time. In this way, too,
quarter-pound packages Of gum are
sent across the continent to Califor-
MIA, where the article is valued almost
beyond price. The Ohio and Michigan

50 1T IS TRUE.

Here's a friend who says that sorrow
Comes today or comes tomorrow.
Here's a longface who is moaning!
Tell him death is far away.
Let dull age 20 weep and fray:
Heed not grief the ghost there, grooming,
Who would cloud the jocund day!
All, they say that anguish found them,
Men cut down with battle round them
(Hear the boys there gayly singing!)
In some region far away.
What care we who laugh today?
Bring no tears, whate'er you're bringing:
Honor to the jocund day!
What's that sound that cools our laughter
What's that form that follows after?
Funeral music sadly sounded
One more man is turned to clay
Let dull age go weep and pray!
Youth by death was ne'er COMPOUNDED.
Long shall shine our jocund day
Oh, my dear one to my weeping
Marble silence sternly keeping,
Lying there in breathless blindness
Death is never far away. $ .
Even youth can weep and pray!
Lips that loved have lost their kindness;
Dead are they this bitter day!

Ants Can Garry on Their Backs

Ants Can Garry on Their Backs
Many Times Their Own Weight.
A gentleman on the island of St.
Croix instituted several experiments
with reference to ascertaining the
truth of what he had often been told
OF the ingenuity and apparent reason
ings of the ants of that beautiful is.
land, says the New York Ledger
Having slain a centipede which had
been sent him by a friend, he laid it
on the window-sill within his apart
ment, where, though not a single in
dividual OF that mischievous race OF
vermin had been seen, to his great
qualification, in the course of a few
hours, one solitary ant suddenly
made its appearance through a GREY
ice in the casing, attracted probably
by the odor OF the dead body.
Shortly after, having surveyed the
premises, it disappeared, but speedily
returned with host OF companions,
to whom the discovery OF a prize had
unquestionably been communicated;
d more careful survey of the magni-
tude OF the object was evidently insti-
tuted. The whole company then dis
appeared simultaneously through the
crack, but an army was put in requisi-
ton, for the third appearance was
multitude.
Having mounted the carcass, ex-
amined minutely it's exact position
and satisfied themselves that it was
actually bereft of life and that no
danger would be incurred from their
premeditated opera tions,Fa new and
unlooked-for series of labor was COM
menced, bearing such a striking anal
ogy to human reason in what is
commonly called "contrivance, that,
if there is no intelligence in it-why,
the metaphysicians have in reserva-
ton an unexplored field OF observa-
ton.
Not being able to move the mass
entirely, they divided themselves in
to platoons and cut the body into
portions of about half an inch in
length, which was effectually and
skillfully done between a late hour in
the afternoon and the following night
and each piece transported to their
citadel through some contiguous ap-
erture OF sufficient diameter to allow
the loads to pass.
When the observer arose at day
light every part had been carried
away except the head, which was
really moving off toward the hole
surrounded by an immense concourse
OF ssadmiring spectators, probably on
the qui vive, happy in the delightful
anticipation OF future feasts and rev.
elings.
On further scrutiny he found that
the decapitated head was mounted on
the backs of about a dozen bearers
who, like q roman phalanx with a
testudo upon their shouldersi, were
marching off in orderly manner tow
ard the same orifce through which
the rest had disappeared.

England's Money Guarded.

The Bank of England's doors are
now SO finely balanced that the clerk,
by pressing a knob under his desk,
can close the outer doors instantly,
and they can not be opened again ex-
cept by special process. This is done
to prevent the daring and ingenious
unemployed OF the great metropolis
fromrobbing the famous institution.
The bullion department. of this and
other great English banking establish
ments are nightly submerged in sever
al feet OF water by the action Of the
machinery. In some of the London
banks the bullion departments are
connected with the manager sleeping
rooms, and an entrance can not be
affected without setting off an alarm
near the persons head. Ii q dis
honest official, during day or night,
should take even as much as one from
apple of one thousand sovereigns the
whole pile would instantly sink and a
pool OF water take it's place, besides
letting every person in the establish
mentknow of the theft.

Where Money Was Of Little Value.
En- Englishwoman, describing a visit
to an extensive gold mine in Victoria
twenty-five years ago, says that
many Of the workers in the mine were
shareholders aud very rich men. Few
OF them seemed to have the slightest
idea OF the value OF money or how to
spend it.
Many Of those who can count
their money by thousands live in the
same little shanties which they built
on first coming to the diggings. They
treat their friends on every possible
occasion, and when they 90 to the
nearest town buy for their wives the
most expensive dresses they can find.
Few OF them have any higher idea Of
the pleasures or the advantages or
even the comforts to be attained by
the possession of wealth.
"As illustrating the characteristics
OF such men, a gentleman told me-
this story:
:. He arrived at a port in Australia,
and finding no one who looked like a
porter by profession to take his
portmanteau to the hotel, he said to
rough-looking man who was stand
ing on the wharf with his hands in his
pockets:
Here, my man, if you'll take this
up to the hotel for me, I'll give YOU
half a crown
'Ihe man scoWled at him, took a
couple OF sovereigns out OF his pocket,
threw them into the sea, turned away
without q word, and marched off with
the most contemptuous expression
on his face.

Burglar-Proof Glass.

Under the name Of Wire-glass a new
invention has been brought on the
market in Dresden. The process Of
manufacture consists in furnishing
glass in hot, plastic condition, with
@ flexible metallic layer, iron wire
netting for instance, which is COM
pletely inclosed by the vitreous sub
stance and effectively protected
against exterior influences, as rust,
etc. The new glass possesses much
greater resisting power than the ordi-
nary material, and is, it is claimed,
indifferent to the most abrupt changes
OF temperature, and will even with
stand open fire. The glass is specially
adapted for skylights, the powerful
resisting qualities OF the material
enabling the usual wire protectors to
be dispensed with. AS wire-glass can
not be cut by the diamond, except
under the application OF great force,
and can not be broken with out Great
ing considerable noise, the substance
is claimed to be, in a measure, burg

The Joyous Tale Of the Dervish

mankind the uselessness ofriches, says

About his neck hung a leather scrip

On the edge OF the desert he met a
walking delegate who was on his way
to Mecca to order a strike among the

been permitted to kiss the holy Kaaba.

just how expensive a luxury the

by a recent case in London where the
costs were seventeen times as large as
the sum originally in dispute. A Mrs.
Large refused to pay rent for house
on the ground that it was in such an
insanitary condition that her hus-
band inhaled sewer gas there and
died in consequence. An action was
brought against her, and for some
reason which does not appear, she
failed to defend it. Judgment was
given against her for the 941, and the
costs amounted to e7OO. Mr.. Justice
