This was an action of replevin for two
bay mares, and a carriage and a pair of
harness. 1t appeared from the evidence
that one Isaac T. Hare of Barre Plains,
Mass, went to Boston and bought of
plaintiffs the horses in question for $500,
then bought of Plaintiff Mills the carriage
for $3.50, and the harness of another party,
paying for them with checks on the
National bank of Ware, Mass, in which
he had no deposit, nor ever did have. 1t
also appeared that he bought other horses,
in all to the amount of some $780, and
paid in worthless checks as aforesaid.
That Hare had taken counsel of some
Massachusetts attorney, who advised him
that if he could make purchases and the
parties of whom he bought would accept
checks, and he could get the property out
OF the state, he could not be troubled. He
drove the horses he had of the plaintiffs,
with the carriage and harness, to Putney,
where on the 27th of September, 1892, he
left them with the defendant, to hold for
him until he should return from Canada,
giving defendant bill of sale of them, but
received no money or consideration what
ever therefor, and that defendant knew
how he obtained the team.
The defendant testified that he had no
knowledge that Hare came by the team
fraudently, and that he paid S525 cash for
it.
The jury rendered a verdict for the
plaintiffs to recover the property

Artificial Maple Sugar.

Decoctions or extracts of the wood or
bark of trees are frequently used for
flavoring syrups or sugars. Different
extracts differ in taste. The hickory
tree, it is said, yields an extract that
will impart the flavor of the maple, and
Daily's method Of producing artificial
maple syrup or sugar is as follows:
Make an extract of hickory bark or
wood by allowing water to percolate
through the same The bark or wood
may be ground, or sawdust therefrom
used, or the material boiled in water.
The strength Of the extract may be in
creased by increase of quantity of the
wood or bark. To one gallon of hot or
boiling sugar syrup add, say, three toble-
spoontuls of the hickory extract. 1t is
said the effect of the extract is to pro-
duce flavor that renders the syrup in
dlstingllishable from genuine maple
sugar. If the syrup is boiled down, a
sugar resembling maple sugar in taste is
produced -LondOn Public Opinion.

Don't Hiss Anybody.

Sanitary scientists there are in this
age of realism who classify the kiss with
sewer gas and other agencies by which
noxious and infectious disease is propo-
gated They advocate the abolition OF
the practice of kissing as remnant OF
barbarous ignorance of the laws OF
health. Such views are due to the germ
theory of disease and their transmissl-
bic qualities. Prudent parents, under
the instruction of their physicians,
guard their young children jealousy
against the indiscriminate kissing which
was once in vogue, lest poisonous germs
be transmitted to the babies. 1t is a
reasonable precautiOn, for undoubtedly
the danger exists; and as the germ
theory of disease comes into wider ac-
ceptation, the peril of such contact IS
the more intelligently. 1t
a serious risk for children exists in care
less kissing, it is a risk older people
should also avoid, is the claim OF many
sanitary scientists. Even the lips OF
beauty NAV carry material poison along
with the rapture of love. The secre-
tary of the Ohio Board of Health Is one
of those who emphasizes the danger OF
indiscriminate kissing or kissing which
is not carefully restrained by sanitary
laws. He would not let women kiss
each other after the prevailing fashion,
and of course he discountenances the
kissing of babies by every chance COM
err. and he would prevent kissing among
the babies themselves.

OWLS CAN HEAR WELL.
But Apparently None of the Species Has
Any Sense of Smell.


ANY Sense of Smell.
The hearing of all species Of owls
known to me is marvelously keen, says
a writer in Popular Science Monthly,
so Keen, in fact, that I know of no way
of testing it, since it is so much more
acute than that of man. If owls have
the sense of smell, | am unable to find
satisfactory evidence of it. | have tried
various experiments with them, hoping
to prove that they could smell, but the
results are all negative. They dislike
pUtrid meat, but they bite it to ascer-
tain it's condition. They will not eat
toads or frogs which yield an unpleas-
ant odor, but they did not re-
ject these species until they had
tested them by tasting. They
may be ever so hungry, yet they do not
suspect the presence of food if it is
carefully covered so that they cannot

pect its presence they will search in the
places where [ have previously hidden

excelsior with amusing cunning.
tested them with the fumes of camphor,
ammonia and other disagreeable smells,
but they failed to show that they
perceived them un ess the fumes
were strong enough to affect their
breathing or to irritate their eyes.
Finally [ put cat in basket and
placed the basket between the two owls.
They were utterly Indifferent to it until
the cat made the basket rock, when both
of them fled precipitately and could not
be induced to go near the basket again.
Although Puffy will put cat to flight
when on his mettle, Puffy is frightened
almost out Of his wits by them. A
japanese toy bird, made of a piece of
wood and a few scarlet feathers, was
eagerly seized by Puffy, indicating not
only a lack of power of smell, but the
presence Of an appreciation Of color. [
have fancied that an appreciation of
color is also shown by barred owls in
their frequent selection of beech trees
as nesting places, by great horned owls
in their choice of brown-tr unked trees
and by snowy owls in an apparent pref
arence For gray grounds.

Are those disorders which, beginning with an

MANY Hungarians resident in New
York are distinguished as hnguists.
The exigencies of life in their native
land make an acquaintance with several
languages necessary, and like the
Russians, they seem to baye an art Il
tude for acquiring foreign Tongues;
Thus it often happens that an educated
Hungarian knows, besides the several
languages of his native land, Russian,
English and French, with a smatter-
ing of the ancient classic languages.
