Well, here are the two horns of the

Maple Sugar Making.

At the late meeting of the State Board
of Agriculture, in Rupert, Mr.. Spear
spoke on this topic. He said that this
industry was of importance to Vermont
ers to greater degree than to the people
of any other section, as one-third of the
entire crop of the United States was
made in this State. 1t should be a mat.
ter of pride to foster it, as it is the only
product in which the State took the first
rank in quantity produced. He did not
believe there was immediate danger OF
overstocking the market with maple su.
gar. The industry could not be greatly
extended because the number of maple
trees was limited. The present product
of 50,OOO,OOO pounds per year in this

Senator Dolph of Oregon, is the lates

Senator Dolph of Oregon, is the latest
victim of the free silver craze, having
just been defeated by pronounced free
silver advocate. IL is much to the Sena-
tors credit that he stood manfully by
his sound money doctrines and suffered
defeat rather than to sacritic his princi-
pies. AS Mr.. Dolph is probably the best
statesman that Oregon has, it seems that
that State has failed to learn a lesson
from Colorado's experience with the
free silverrites. He is succeeded by Sec,
retary of State Nc Boide.

Now is the Time.

The benefit to be derived from good
medicine in early spring is undoubted,
but many people neglect taking any un-
til the approach of warm weather, when
they wilt like tender flower in hot
sun. Something must be done to purify
the blood. overcome that tired feeling
and give necessary strength. Vacation
is earnestly longed for, but many weeks,
perhaps months, must elapse before rest
can be INDUCED in. To impart strength
and to give feeling of health and vigor
throughout the system, there is nothing
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t seems
perfectly adapted to overcome that pros
tration caused by change of season. CHI

BEES FORM FRIENDSHIPS.
Experiences of a Young Man to Whom
 They Took . Liking.

'I always loved bees" said the young man in gold-bowed glasses behind the dairy counter as he handed down honeycomb for the inspection of an idle customer, according to the New York Sun. When l was on the farm" he continued, ''I could go all about the hives and not get stung, and none of the others dared go near the bees. We used to have an old farmer come around and tend to the swarms, but one day when I was boy working in the fields I heard great humming noise up in the air and saw a swarm a-coming. Well, picked up a tin pan that was there and hammered on it till the bees settled on the end of fence rail. Then I thought could tend to the swarm as well as the old farmer, so I got an old hive, washed it out with honey and wa ter, rubbed my hands and arms with burdock juice and honey water, and went at the bees. 1 got them of that rail by the handful and they never stung me.
 After that regularly tended to the bees. Whenever there was swarm l rolled up my sleeves, took oil my shoes and hat, and went at them. l have taken them from all sorts of places, but was never stung only once. They'd light on my head by the dozen and crawl through my hair. That used to send cold chills down by back. Some times my arms were so covered with bees that from wrist to elbow you couldn't see the flesh. The one time when was stung had found swarm on high limb and was saving 1t oil, and at the same time holding on to 1t that It should not fall to the ground with the bees. In doing this l squeezed one of the bees, and it flew straight at my temple and stung me just above the eye. Since left the farm the folks have given up the bee business. There's no doubt about it, bees like some folks and hate others, and don't know any req son for the difference"

The North and South Road.

The surveying party of the north ana south road has been in the field for some time and is rapidly approaching Flor ence en route to Cslsbasas via Tucson.
 Hon. M. P. Freeman has just received a letter from Frank Murphy, president of the road, asking whether the funds arising from the subscription of Pima county towards defraying the expense of running the survey are now available to be drawn upon by their chief engin- ger.
 The subscription list has been turned over to the collection committee, con- sisting of H. B. Penney and Samuel Hughes, who will at once call upon the subscribers for the amount of their sub- scriptions.
 President Murphy, while apparently unwilling to give any positive assurance of the building of the road, says he will do everything in his power personally towards it's extension to Tucson and Calabasas and from the general tone of his letter shows great confidence in his ability to carry out his wishes.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

The motto on the silver dollar is being emphasized by the courageous men of field, factory and finance. Political and commercial pessimists offer their stock of woes and difficulties to people too busy making money to hear or heed. The ripening harvest begins to call for the few who still stand idle in the market place.
 SrRAws-The mineral production in the United States in 1894 is valued at s553, ,352 ,996. The Census Bulletin says 47 95 per cent. of all persons in the United States in 1890 over 10 years old were earning their own living. Nearly five times as many men as women were at work. It is estimated the silver owned and coined in the United States treasury equals 1,527 cords. One million dollars in gold weigh about two tons; one million silver dollars weigh nearly 30 tons.
 Mir. Andrew Carnegie is reported claiming the country at large dues not realize the boom which has started ID the industrial world. That iron and steel mills all over the country have con- trscted their full capacity for several months ahead, and many are actually unable to take additional orders. That since the bulk of their contracts were booked, there has been an advance of | 50 cents in pig iron. This fall consumers will find they cannot place orders.

HAD TO SEE THE BALL GAME.
Philadelphia Lawyer Who Refused to
 Break an Engagement.

4 lawyer with his client called one day at the office of a gentleman who is considered to be one of the leading men of the Philadelphia bar. The lawyers had an important case and he wanted to take the legal big gun iii as adviser, says the Philadel- phia Times. He explained his busi- ness and said he and his client would be back in the afternoon. "I won't be here then," said the legal giant. "I have an engagement at three o'clock, and 1 won't be here after that hour" But there is five thousand dollar fee in this for you," ex- plained the younger lawyer. Cant help it; won't be here. You will have to come tomorrow"
 But my client can't come to-mor- row."
 "Well, I can't break my engage ment," said the senior. After some further talk it was agreed that a meet ing be held that night. That after noon, having nothing else to do, the young lawyer and his client went to ball game. The first man they saw ip- side the grounds was the great lawyer, who was hurrahing for the ''Phlliies' with all the vigor of his lungs. That was his important engagement. Mead, less to say the lawyers practice nets him enough money each year to make him independent.

HIDDEN STORES OF GOLD.

The San Francisco Journal of Com merce is looking forward to revival Of the mining industry. Among the enter prises which that journal considers the most promising IS the proposition enter tained by the Consolidated California and Virginia Mining company to pur- chase 5000 feet of the Brunswick lode and 10 attach this new mining ground as kind of annex to several mining companies under their control. Tie Bulletin has no private information as to the value of the Brunswick mine. There are certain conditions now estab- lished which would more than double the value of new Comstock should one be found. When the Comstock was discovered the science of mining was ID its infancy. The methods of mining b cd been confined mostly to washing down gravel ranges, drifting for pay dirt on the bed rock of such ranges, with an occasional pick at the rich spots in quartz veins. Or deep mining, such as was afterwgrd conducted in few localities in California and on the Com stock, the average surface gold miner had DO more knowledge than whsn he left his New England farm. The quartz miners developed the science of mining ss they proceeded. They were type of man that succeed in anything they undertake, but they will readily admi, that then mines were not generally worked to the best possible advantage, The machinery with which they com. menced was crude compared to that LOW in use. The opening of new mine now would be attended with none o these disadvantages. Work would pro ceed ss systematically as the work o constructing a building. The under ground plan of mine is as clear in tn, mlnd of 8 capable engineer as the plal of 8 house to capable architect. Witt these improved conditions it is reason able to expect that much larger pc centsge of the products of mines woult now be placed to the credit of stock holders than has been the care in tn past. The Comstock was lode of sucl fabulous richness that the law of chanc is against another in that locality. l is better for the state as @ whole an
 for individuals that new development may take on the character of legitimat business than of speculative ventures Our gold and silver mines may be 8 permanent and profitable as the COZ and iron mines that constitute the bull
 of the stocks dealt in at the New Tor
 Exchange. There is thing to be said C mining for the precious nteals-th product is never likely to be drug

 ABSOLUTELY PURE
Ancient Arizona.

J. H. Vaughn writes as follows from Solomonville to the Graham Guardian:
 'In- digging a we'll near here at . depth of sixty feet, there have been found some pieces of pottery very dlf- ferent from the ordinary clay scattered all over the surface of the Pueblo Vie io. They resemble terra cotts ware, and lay below the deposited layers of soft material, and in earth which heat had hardened to rock strata. If tho marvellous story of the structural geolo- gy be true, this handiwork of man wss left. here earlier than the time when Christ and his apostles walked the earth. It is startling to think that here under the matchless blue of these skies, and beside the same ever shifting Nile of Arizona, beings Ived and wrought and died in the days when Homer sang of gods and men and wares were bought and sold in the streets of ancient Thebes."
