Artificial Maple Sugar.

Decoctions or extracts Of the wood or
bark Of trees are frequently used for
aavoring syrups or sugars. Different
extracts differ in taste. The hickory
tee, it is said, yields an extract that
will impart the favor of the maple,
and Daily's method of producing arti-
fetal maple syrup or sugar is as fol-
lows: Make an extract of hickory
bark or wood by allowing water to per-
colate through the same. The bark or
wood may be ground, or saw dust
herefrom used. Hot water may be
used, or the material boiled in water.

Ane QUICK DOctOr'H Earnest Efforts

At the military levee given by the
Boston lancers in their armory few
evenings ago Representative Crosby
from Worchester was seated at a table
in the gentlemen's room, surrounded
by other members of the house who
ofilclate on the same committee and
Il party of other notables, all of whom
were enjoying one Of Mr.. Crosby's
stories. Mr. Crosby said it was a well
known fact he wore an artificial leg,
that missing member having been lost
uurlng the late unpleasantness between
the North and the South, while he was
serving in the naval department, after
retiring from Il long and faithful serv-
ice i'll the army. His story, as re-
peated by the Boston Journal, was:
Years ago, when was in the habit
of coming to Boston on business, was,
on one cold, wintry day, wandering
down Sudbury street as best 1 could,
when 1 was accosted by a seedy indi-
vidual, with all the airs Of a medical
expert, who said: L can cure that

Mr.. Crosby said he persuaded tho

the friend was made aware of the con.
dltlon Of affairs, and of course made
the surroundings as agreeable as nos

Crosby pulled up his trouscr leg. anf

MIRRORS OF oLDEN DAYS.

Polished Metal Plates Uacd by ORR
entnls-The Looking Glasses of
To-day.
Iooking-glasses of old wcre highly
polished metal plates. They were small
and provided with 4 handle. Grand
ladies intrustcd their mirrors to the
care Of a female slave, whose duty it
was to keep them clean AMI free from
stain or rust, and hand it to her mis-
tress when the latter required it.
The Chinese and Japanese formerly
used mirrors made of Il simple metallic
plate. The Japanese had story Of the
invention of the mirror. The sun god
dcss, they said, once upon time, got
into great rage about something, and
retired to Il cavern, vowing that she
would never come out again. AS she
was the mother of light, her retirement
put the whole earth in darkness. The
other gods and gcddesses did all they
could in order to persuade her to come
out again, and finally invented a mir
ror. Which they placed at the entrance
of the cave. The angry goddess looked
at it, and seeing, as She thought an
other goddess whose beauty was equal
to her own, emerged, mad with jeal-
ousy from her retreat, and the land
was once again illuminated by the light
Of the sun.
Glass mirrors are supposed to have
been first used in Sidon. Like almost
everything else, they were very dear
for a long time after their introduction.
We read in Il letter written in 1873 by
Colbert to the Count Auvaux that even
if mirrors had been manufactured in
France at that time, nobody but the
king would have been rich enough to
buy one. The annual manufacture in
Europe at the present time, according
to the latest statistics we have been
able to get, is something like 1,S5O,OOO
square yards of looking-glass.
In the mirrors Of to-day the light is
reflected by Il layer Of silver or an
amalgam Of tin, but a proportion of
light is lost in the process of reflection,
and the image is less luminous than the
original. The value of looking glass
is usually estimated by the thickness Of
the glass, because the thicker they are
the stronger they must be; but. speak
ing scientifically, thick glasses are de-
fective, because the outlines of the i'm
age reflected are less clearly defined
There are really three reflections, and
consequently three images in every glass
mirror; one from the upper surface of
the glass, one from the lower surface,
and the third from the metallic layer
ut the back. An ideal mirror is one
with perfectly fiat surface; but it is
only possible to obtain this result in
l comparatively small glasses. The larger
r glasses do not reflect true image be
, cause it is not possible to make then
l quite fiat.

Da.sero.. bottle Cleaning.

1t is surprising, says DR.. F. Sawyer,
how many people persist in cleaning
bottles with shot after the frequent
cautions that have been given. Moth
ing cleans bottles so easily as a handful
of shot, which can be shaken into every
corner until the glass fairly shines with
cleanliness; but the danger of lead
poisoning Ia Great, even when the bot
tie IL rinsed out with clean water, and
1t is doubly dangerous when there is
no rinsing out at all, as is usually the
case. Clean sand is a convenient and
thorough bottle cleaner, especially an
the particles of sand which adhere
must be Afterwards washed out to COM
plete the process. When time is not an
object, . bottle can be well cleaned by
the aid Of potato parings, but as they
must be oorked In and left to ferment,

That evening they discussed the mat

at midnight thing happened which all

FINANCIAL
New York.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-The week closed
on the stock exchange with an active
and strong speculation. All the con-
ditiOnS seemed to favor an upward
movement this morning, and the usual
difference which many operators feel
in carrying stocks over Sunday was not
apparent in the dealings. A good hank
statement was looked for, and it came
equally favorable as was anticipated.
There was heavy buying OH the ex-
pectation and rumored purchases on the
realization. The special influences
working on the market We're nearly all
on the bull side. The London advices
showed all improvement in Ameri-
can securities; there was some
buying for the foreign account and
little selling as well. Manhattan
was ia demand by operators who desired
to obtain controlling interest. Atchi-
son was bought for the Boston account,
and there were large purchasing orders
for Reading and Philadelphia. A scarcity
of floating Western Union stock was
warning to the short interest to cover.
The Washington news, too, was, very
favorable to an immediate vote OH the
silver bill in the senate, and this dis
cOuraged operations on the part of the
bears and left the market practically in
the hands of the bulls. The opening
prices were higher than yesterdays
closing sales. and the market moved up
until about 1920. when sales to realize
profits brought about fractional reac-

The S. 81. Wood Produce Company. of
Minneapolis, in its circular letter of
Saturday, said:
1--WE look for lower prices Monday,
but believe this will be the last break In
the wheat market that will come this
year. Wheat is lower thon ever before
in the history of the trade; therefore, we
advise our customers to buy wheat on
Monday and Tuesday. and if you are
afraid to take your own risk, buy 1t on
our insurance plan; then you can hold
it over any break, without additional
margin calls, and you will make big
profit by and by"
Sure enough, wheat boomed up on
Tuesday. We don't know what special
influence S. H. Wood has with the wheat
market, but 1t certainly minds him very
we'll.
