in which we live.
Nor is this the worst by any means Who

OUR MINISTER TO TURKEY.

The disposition manifested here and there,
chiefly in papers Of his own political party, to
criticise our Minister to Turkey for his action.
or as they saw lack Of action. during the present
troubles seems TO us unjust. We certainly
have no prediction for Mr.. Terrell. We do not
like his politics Many years ago he made him
self exceedingly offensive to the bulk of the
American people by his Incorporate utterances.
More recently he has made himself more or less
absurd by his disregard of diplomatic prophecies
In a crisis like the present, however, such things
are 10 be banished from consideration The
duty Of the hour is the only thing worth notice.
And that duty Mr. Terrell has, we believe per
formed bravely. wisely. and as completely as
it was possible for him to %. This is a time
when "fortiter in re" is vastly more essential
than "suavier in mOdo," and so it comes to pass
that the very qualities which have, amid other
circumstances, brought criticism upon him, now
make him conspicuOusly effective and valuable
servant Of the State
In so far as Mr. Terrell has failed to uphold
the welfare of Americans in Turkey the blame
rests not so much upon him as upon the Admin
istration at Washington and the Democratic
Congresses that have of late held sway there
The American Minister at Constantnople is
reegated to rank inferior TO that Of the repre-
senmtlves OF other great Powers. He is com
pelled TO live In comparative cheapness and OBJ
security. He has none of the adjuvants to pres
| tige and influence which his fellow-diplomatS
enjoy; and that too, in n country and nj the
court where, more than anywhere else, such
| Things count. He has been able 10 summon No
| imposing armada 10 the mouth of the Darda
| neies. lie might threaten The Porte with ven
| geance II so much as the hair Of an Americans

make reply: How can you do 1t? You have

The interesting feature OF the opening OF 'on'
gress was the election of Mr. Reed as Speaker
Of the House and his address on resuming the
chair. The election was only matter of FORM
and nominating speeches were wisely omitted
All the Democrats who voted but one voted for
ex-Speaker Crisp-five refrained from voting
and the six Populsts supported one Of their own
number Mr. Reed was, of course, greeted with
enthusiasm. His remarks were brief and in eX-
celent taste. The number of new members OF
the House Is uncommonly large-ncarly one
half of the whole. There were great many
visitors on hand to witness the opening cere-
monies and most of these f1ocked to the House
end of the Capitol In the Senate the proceed
inps were OF the usual order. and no test of
party strength was had.

HOW TO LIVE on $500 A YEAR.

At the southern end of Jackson Park during
the Columbian Exhibition stood an unpreten-
tious little wooden house bearing the sign
"New-York State Exhibit; Workingman's Model

a practical experiment of comfortable home life
at small cost. and TO show the adaptation Of
HYGIENE principles Of living to the requirements
and the intelligence of the average wage-carn-

Katharine Bement Davis. and has just been
published in pamphlet form.

income Of workingman's family. consisting Of
husband and wife and four children. all under

set apart, for food 5000. and for fuel S30 leaving

The New-York Central Railroad is determined
to maintain its reputation Of running the fastest
regular train in the world. For two or three
years the Empire State Express has carried the
blue ribbon. but lately intelligence came across
the water that train RAINING from London 10
Edinburgh was making better tIne-5246 miles
an hour. against 81 miles by the Empire State.
So il was resolved to increase the speed Of the
latter TO 80 1-3 miles an hour, and the first ex-
pertinent under the new schedule was made yes
terday, the time between New-York and Buffalo
being cut down twenty-five minutes. Unluckily,
the train met with slight mishap and delay
when the run was nearly completed. and ar
rived at its destination only two minutes ahead
Of the old schedule 1t was made clear, however
that the new schedule is practicable.

Only a few days at Christmas, just
to escape the bills.
Well, you take my advice, old man,

SUGAR.
What Is Done in the Camp and Whore
the Syrup Is Handled.

What Is Done in the Camp and Whore
the Syrup Is Handled.
A properly conducted maple-sugar
camp In Vermont is we'll worth seeing.
Many improvements have been intro
duced 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-mak-
ing, as now conducted, is practically
as follows: First, two or three men
tap the trees. One goes ahead, and
with a three-inch bit, makes an incis-
ion about an inch deep on the lee side
of the tree. A second man inserts a
round, double tin spite, or spout, about
three inches long in the aperature. The
spout not only conducts the sap, but
has an arrangement for suspending
the bucket beneath it. Lastly, man
hangs che buckets, which are either Of
wood or tin. Gathering the sap has
been much simplified. The old way
was to hitch a team Of stout horses to
a short sled carrying the holder" a
large wooden tub, holding several bar
rels, in which the sap in the buckets
was poured. Now leaders or wooden
cutters are all run through the orchard,
emptying into large storage tank at
the sugar house. In brick framework
in the sugar-hOuse is set an iron arch
with a square iron chimney. For a
large orchard of 1000 trees the arch is
about 5x2O feet in area, az feet deep in
front, and 10 inches deep in the chin
ney end, In the arch are set the evap-
orators, a deep boiling pan in front
and four smaller and shallower pans
further back. The bottoms of the
eyaporators are deeply corrugated,
nearly doubling the surface exposed to
the heat. The boiling is done rapidly,
as rapid boiling improves the quality
Of the sugar. The sap flows from the
tank through hose with a strainer at
tached into regulator, which allows
only certain quantity to flow into the
evaporation. At certain point the sap
is drawn by siphon from the large
evaporator into one of the small ones,
the scum and settling being left be-
hind. In the last pan the liquid is
evaporated to the syrup of commerce,
weighing eleven pounds to the gallon.
The most interesting process is Sugar
ing off," The syrup is slowly boiled in
the large pan until the experienced
sugar-maker knows it is done" The
pan Is then lifted off, and the mass is
turned into tubs, holding from ten to a
hundred pounds. If 1t is to be made |
into cakes, it is stirred longer, till it be-
comes dry enough to retain its shape. |
The wilderness Of maple syrup does not |
determine its price, 1t is due some
what to the differences of soil and the |
amount of rain that has fallen into the |
sap. Pure maple sugar is brownish |
amber in color, with fine grain. If |
the grain is not fine, and if there are |
air holes in it 1t has probably been
adulterated by cane sugar, glucose 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 and
the buds begin to swell, when the sap
tastes strong and ceases to flow.
