Miss Gould's Card.
When telling a Globe reporter about the
arrangements DR.. Clark, founder of the
Christian Endeavor movement took from
his desk a richly Autographed card. and
said: You will be especially interested to
know that Miss Helen NJ. Gould Of New
York has presented the committee of ar
rangenents with $1,000 copies of an H.
Illuminated card containing the song Amer
ica-' This card was especially designed for
Miss Gould, and was intended for private
distribution among her friends. 1t is very
elaborate and contains a number of en-
blematic figures
Some one interested ir the convention
and good citizenship thought the design
very appropriate 10 use OH fdtTlOCC Qdy
in Boston, and the committee of arrange
ments thought SO favorably of the plan
that they asked Miss Gould If they might
use the design. Her reply was to have 5O.-
600 of the cards printed at her expense and
present them to the committee, with her
compliments, for distribution among the
delegates on that day.
On the back of the card is key to the
design. The figure of Liberty stands on
broken shackles, hoids in her right hand
a sword and offers with her left the olive
branch. The stars encircling the head rep
resent the thirteen original states. The
red skirt, blue waist and stars are en-
blematic of the American flag. On the left
is the American eagle; on the right is the
gol0enrod.
On the left of the figure is the Indian
maize; below and between the shields are
below and to the right of the figure repre-
sent the five important events that are
significant of American freedom; 1, Decla-
ration Of Independence; 2, war of 1872
American maritime freedom; 5, Lincoln's
emancipation proclamation; 4, surrender of
Lee at Appomattox; s. the Columbian ex-
position at Chicago, 1893.

The railroad managers told Mr.. Shaw that
while the Christian Endeavor managers
counted only about 5000 of their delegates
in New York, there were nearer 10000 peo-
pie in New York during that convention,
who had used the Christian Endeavor spe-

A "95 hymn has been written for the
convention by Charles E. Allen, president of
the Massachusetts, C. E. union, and the

Wears an Aluminium Ear.

From the New York World.
We have had people with glass eyes,
porcelain teeth and artificial whiskers, and
now along comes a man with an aluminium
ear He is sixty-three years of age. and
was admitted into the Queens Hospital, at
Birmingham, England, in April, 1888, with
an epithelioma of the left auricle.
The greater part Of the diseased ear was
cut off by the attending surgeon and a
plaster-of-paris cast was taken of the left
side of his head. Then an artificial ear was
built up in wax to match the healthy one
on the opposite side. This bogus ear was
then made in vulcanite and aluminium,
tinted and enameled to harmonic with the
complexion. No artificial contrivance, such
as q spectacle frame, was made use of to
support the aluminium ear, and adhesion to
the head was effected by means of a satur-
ated solution of mastic in absolute alcohol.
The man now can hear as well as ever,
but he takes care to sleep on his right side
at night SO as not to break of his new ear.
At the same time he has no fear of having
1t frost bitten, and he is probably the only
man alive who could even partly comply
with the request of Marc Antony: Lend
me your ears"

Lions Ate the Bear.

From the London Daily News.
From Lemberg our Vienna correspondent
learns that terrible battle has been fought
at the railway station at Rawaruska. A
menagerie was being conveyed by rail and
when the train stopped at the station
great noise was heard. The guards went
to the wagons containing the wild beasts
and found the wooden partitions which

down and the animals engaged in battle.
One bear was missing. The lions had eaten
bears paw off and hyena lay dead on
the floor. Two lions in a neighboring COM
partment remained calm. No one dared
interfere between the fighting beasts until
the owner arrived in sledge and separated
them-not before he had been bitten by a
bear, however. He claims damages from
the railway administration because the
partitions gave way.

MAPLE SUGAR.
What is Done fa the Camp and Where
the Syrup is Handled.

What ts Done fa the Camp and Where
the Syrup is Handled.
| From the New York Tribune.
| A properly conducted maple sugar camp
| in Vermont is well worth seeing. Many i'm
provements have been introduced during
the last few years. In the center of the
orchard" or bush" as 1t used to be
called, is a commodious and well-equipped
sugar house, in which all the utensils are
stored when not in use. The process of
sugar making as now conducted is practi-
cally as follows: First, two or three men
tap the trees. One goes ahead, and, with
a three-eighths-inch bit, makes an incision
about an inch deep on the lee side of the
tree. A second man inserts a round, double
tin spile, or spout, about three inches long,
in the aperture. The spout not only con-
ducts the sap but has an arrangement for
suspending the bucket beneath it. Lastly,
a man hangs the buckets, which are either
of wood or tin
Gathering the sap has been much simpli-
fed. The old way was to hitch a team Of
stout horses to short sled carrying the
holder" large wooden tub, holding sew
eral barrels, in which the sap in the buck
cts was poured. Now leaders or wooden
cutters are all run through the orchard,
emptying into large storage tank at the
sugar house. In a brick framework in the
sugar house is set an iron arch with a
square iron chimpey. For a large orchard

area, 21e feet deep in front and 10 inches
deep at the chimney end. In the arch are
set the evaporators, a deep boiling pan in
front and four smaller and shallower pans
further back. The bottoms of the evapor-
ators are deeply corrugated, nearly dou-
bling. the surface exposed to the heat. The
boiling is done rapidly, as rapid boiling i'm
proves the quality of the sugar. The sap
flows from the tank through a hose with
strainer attached, intosa regulator, which
allows only certain quantity to dow into
the evaporator At a certain peint the sap
is drawn by a siphon from the large evap-
orator into one of the small ones, the scum
and settling being. left behind In the last
pan the liquid is evaporated to the syrup
of commerce. Weighing eleven pounds to
the gallon.
The most interesting process is "sugarine
on" The syrup is slowly boiled in the large
pan until the experienced sugar maker
knows 1t is done" The pan is then lifted
of and the mass is turned into tubs hold
ing from ten to a hundred pounds If ii is
to be made into cakes 1t is stirred longer,
till 1t becomes dry enough to retain its
shape. The whiteness of maple syrup does
not determine its price. 1t is due somewhat
to the difference of soil and the amount of
rain that has fallen into the sap. Pure
maple sugar is a brownish amber in color
with fine grain. II the grain is not fine,
and ifthere are air holes in it. 1t has prob
ably been adulterated by cane sugar. glu-
cose or clay-by some wicked dealer. says
the sugar maker.
The average yield per tree Is about two
pounds per season, the season lasting from
four to six weeks, until frosty nights cease
md the buds begin to swell, when the san
astes strong ana ceases to flow.

For CoNGREss.-A gentleman who
returned from Warrenton to this city
Yesterday says, that while there he at
tended the last term of the Fauquier
County Court and heard some interest
ing political gossip. He says he heard
that at the next democratic congress
ional convention nearly every county
in the district would present a candi-
date, but that Judge Grimsley, of Gull
pepper, an able man, with fine record
as o Confederate soldier, would have
the strongest backing of any of the
candidates. He said that Judge Grims-
ley will have the solid delegations from
Culpeper, Orange and Louisa counties,
and that he will split the Fauquier del
egation as ne is well known and has
many friends in that county. He also
says that when Judge Grimsley's name
is presented to the convention his
friends will use the same argument as
was used by Mr.. B. W. Moore, WHIT n
he nominated Gen. w. 81. F. Lee, q
Fairfax, saying that Culpeper has not
had q representative in Congress for
many years and also that Judge Grims-
ley is as strong man as the CONVEX :
ton could possibly nominate. This
report will doubtless cause a stir among
the candidates from this end of the dis

the husband being ayerse to her drink
