A VAST DIFFERENCE.

The difference between The capital
ist and plutocrat is this: the former
uses his money in legitimate enter
prise and seeks only to make rea-
sonable interest on his investment;
the latter attempts to prostitute Con-
gress, debauch Legislatures and
throttle the law for his own selfish
ends, and to enable him to receive a
larger income on his money and to
make for him safer investment for
his capital. The former is a neces-
sity to the Commonwealth, the latter
curse.

vermont's First Maple sugar

Last spring we reprinted, from the
New England Magazine, an article on
the manufacture of maple sugar, taking
it from the earliest times, coming down
through improving processes until a
description was given of the latest meth
DDS. DR.. II. G. Day prepared an histor-
ic sketch of the first sugar making in
this town for the Troy Times, an article
that took considerable time to get to-
gether, and sent it in. This, the Times
has Just published, as follows:
The first maple sugar that was ever
made in Vermont was in Bennington in
March, 1862, the process taking place in
the first log cabin of the first settler
Captain Samuel Robinson. 1t is not
known how many trees were tapped from
which the sap was obtained, nor just
where the sugar bush was located. 1t is
supposed, however, that the naples grew
along the hill which slopes sharply east
ward from the old academy in Benning-
ton Centre. The sap was caught in
short sections of logs that had been hol-
lowed out to hold gallon or more. The
season was favorable for a free run Of
sap, the nights being frosty and the days
still and sunny. A small quantity only
of sugar was made-thirty or forty
pOuhhS- q lIuOh SesSh vi SOON
syrup was obtained. The evaporation of
the sap wa9 performed in small domestic
iron kettles, purchased in Albany few
weeks previously The precise method
of tapping th% trees is not known, though
in some casses iRpre- Revolutionary times
the axe, Fgouge and howell were used.
ThisiFsoall that is known of the history
of the first sugar making in Bennington,
and it is a singular fact that a product
which formed so important an article of
diet with the first settlers should receive
no mention in the preserved records of
that time. The only known source of in.
formation on the subject is in the diary
of Hiram Harwood, son of Benjamin
Harwood, who was the first child born
in Bennington. Mr.. Harwood's diary
extended over twenty-six years, com
mencing in 1910, being continuance OF
his fathers diary begun in 1906, and
giving not only minute record of every
day of life, but many facts relating to
the early history of Bennington. The
facts relating to the first sugar making
were obtained in 1894 from Mrs. Marcy
Robinson, widow of Captain Samue
Robinson.

Photoeranhing In Colors.

Considerable attention is being paid in
Paris to the new method originated by a
member Of the National Academy OF
France for photographing in colors, tho
process being pronounced, from a scien-
tiflc point of view, the most interesting
ever invented in this line. Briefly, the
operator lays upon sheet Of glass very
delicate, translucent film Of chloride Of
silver and against this film is placed
vessel containing mercury, so that the lat
ter is in contact with the film. Thus ar
ranged, the glass sheet and mercury are
placed in the camera like an ordinary SEN
sitive plate, and exposures being made the
image of the object to be photographed Is
projected upon the glass, the light convey
ing the image passes through the glass,
on through the translucent film and is re-
hected back by the mercury behind. The
action of the light splits the silver in the
film into thin layers, which breaks up the
light rays into their component colors.
AS the play of colors in an opal Is due to
that gem being composed Of layers OF
quartz superposed one upon another
these layers breaking up the light into
different hues-a similar result follows
the placing of the layers Of silver in the
film, which, through the operation of q
curious law, reproduces the tints of theob-
ject photographed.-New York Sun

AGED EGGS.
How Hen E'rut Is Preserved by Means OF
the Cold Storage System.

the Cold Storage System.
Take it along in December, and Cholly,
after spending an evening with his charm
ing friend of Newbury street, desires an
eggnog as he wanders down Washington
street about noon the next day. He goes
into big hotel, steps before the bar, and
glass of the foaming, topaz hued bever-
age Is handed to him.
"That's good, he admiringly remarks
TO the bartender. II say, those eggs are
deuced fresh They must have been laid
yesterday"
"They were,' is the answer. 1--WE get
them from the country every morning, and
no egg is over three days old"
Cholly is satisfied, and the bartender
smiles. The young man hands out quar-
ter and murmurs Keep the change"
But the fresh egg the youth relished SO
much was more than three days old-about
go times g. Six months before the frosty
morning on which Cholly had his nog
and felt pleased, a quiet, reserved hen with
modest plumage had proudly proclaimed
to the world on q big western farm that
she had done what every honest, self re-
specting hen aspires to do, and then she
clucked around the yard and got ready to
do the same thing again the next day.
1t was in tho springtime, and on the
evening Of the day on which Cholly's egg
rested on the wisp of straw in the little
square box in tho henhouso an unfeeling
monster with two long legs stole into the
hens boudoir, and without great ado push
ed the fowl from her couch and stole the
egg. Then he put it in a box, in small
nd tNUn 1aUG
later sent it, with 20 dozen and II Others,
to q shippers establishment from which
place it was railroaded to Boston.
Once in this city, tho box was looked
over, and if the contents were in good con-
dition it was carried to brick building
down on Commercial street, and there,
with the temperature at just about freez-
ing point, it was packed away to wait un-
til it should be needed in the following
fall. From there it went to the eggnog.
Fifty years ago, if you had suggested tc
| thrifty New England housewife that she
take o six months old egg and flip into
| fluffy omelet, she would have wondered
| If the country air had made you crazy.
| The idea of such q thing would force I'M
pleasant visions on her mind. Eggs a week
old, she might tell you, had seriously at
fected her, and, as for six months, why, sc
great an age would fit them only for use
in connection with unpopular stage per
formers, or for boys who wish to express
their feeling of enmity toward strict pc
licemen and constables or too earnest col
lege professors.
But times have changed. Six months
old eggs now grace the tables of the high
est in the land, furnish food for the ricf
and poor and provide bracing drinks fo
the numerous Chollys whossometimes 70
main out later than they should on certain
nights
Six months old-science has got to tina
point from a week old. Now efforts ar
being made to the end that eggs may b.
kept from the time a boy comes into tn
world until it is made into an omelet tn
day he deposits his first ballot.-Bostol

French Comic Songs.

One. Of the French papers has been MAX
ing inquiries on the subject Of the profits
derived from the sale of popular comic
songs. 1t hardly pays, it seems, to publish
songs that only have a moderate success at
the music halls, as up to 1000 copies or
more the sale barely pays for the cost Of
printing and paper. After that figure is
reached, however, the profits are large.
There are two sorts of copies-those which
have only the words and the notes of the
air and those which give besides the piano
forte accompaniment. Comparatively few
of the latter are sold. "En Revenant do la
Revue" commonly called the ''Boulanger
March," brought its happy composer alone
$4,000 francs from the sale of copies. The
author of the verses is believed to have re-
ceived much more than this. Nevertheless
the business Of song writing is not a very
lucrative one, for successes such as that
are very rare. Even the best known men,
such as NJ Delormel, M. Petit and M.
GARNER, are believed to earn less than 2300
year on an average
