SUGAR TREE SAP.
why It Flows Even When the Ground Is
Frozen Hard.

There is much difference Of opinion
as to where the sap Of the tree comes
from. 1t does not come from the ground
BY the roots, but is in the tree and has
been all the winter, but in the form OF
starch deposited in the cells of the soft
wood under the bark When the weather
becomes warm enough in the spring to
set the vital processes in the tree into
action, this starch is changed into
sugar and the cells become so full OF
the sweet sap as to exert a great pres
sure on them.
When the spring begins, the warmth
Of the sun starts this vital action and
the sap circulates through the cells ON
the way to the buds, which will swell
and soon burst into leaf. When the
sugar maker taps the tree, the pressure
of the sap on the cells forces it to exude
and flow from the opening made into
the sap wood. There is no special cur
rent I'D from the roots or down to them (;
the tree is simply filled with sap all
tbrou ID the sap wood, and mostly at
that rart Of it which lies Immediately
under the bark, and where the new
wood will soon be formed Of the matter
held in solution in the sap.
The sap will flow while the ground is
frozen, for it is the warmth in the air
that causes the flow and not the action
Of the roots in the soil. Thus it is quite
useless to spread any litter or other non.
conducting matter under the tree in the
expectation that if the ground be kept
frozen the budding will be delayed. Il
this effect be desired the whole tree
must be covered in and kept in dor
mart condition by a low temperature
all over. Thus young trees may be KEEP
in cold storage for months, and arc 81
kept for shipment to Australia, wher'
the Seasons are exactly the opposite O
ours. New York Times

KENTS ILLITERATE VOTERS.
FULLY ONE-THIRD UNABLE TO
WRITE THEIR NAMES ON THE
REGISTRATION BOOKS.

FULLY ONE-THlRD UNABLE TO
WRITE THEIR NAMES ON THE
REGISTRATION BOOKS.
CHESTERTOWN, Md, Nov H.
The large percentage Of illiteracy as
shown by the number of voters in the
county who were unable to sign their
names on the registration books was
generally surprising Nearly one-third
eff the entire vote of Kent county is IL
literate. The greatest per cent. of IL
literacy is shown in the districts hay
ing the largest negro voting popula-
ton. while the Fifth district, in which
the cystering element so largely pre-
dominates, the percentage of illiteracy
is least. The First district shows 34S
illiterates out Of registered vote Of
900; the Second shows 235 out of 700;
Third, 1853 out of $50; Fourth. 212 out
Of 7Cl; Fifth, 1876 out of 757; Sixth, 2lO
out of 465; Seventh, 152 out of 405.
One of the most remarkable features
of the recent election was the unusu-
ally full vote but siXty-six whites out
of a total registration of 2,S07, and fif-
teen colored voters out of a total reg
istration of l,795, having failed to cast
a ballot.

The aIysterr OF the PearI.

The usual source of pearls found
within the oyster appears to be the in
trusion Of some small foreign body
which sets up an irritation of cuticle.
The only means of defense open to the
mollusk is to deposit a layer of nacre
around the irritating particle and thus
cut it off from the soft, tender skin. A
grain of sand or small crustacean may
slip in between the lips, and, setting
up irritation, provoke the cuticle to de-
posit around it series Of thin films OF
nacre. These are added to from time to
time, the little nucleus is completely
encysted and a pearl is the ult-La-

The People of Dads.

Fierce as they are in war, the people
Of Dads are when at peace the gentlest
Of creatures. extremely devoted to their
children and living a home life abso-
lutely unknown among the Arabs. Just
as in appearance so in moral character
do they excel, and the vices so common
among tho Moors are unknown in the
homes of the Berbers. They seem to
possess none of that uncomfortable pas
sion that is so large feature in the
Arab character, and its place is taken
by affection and sincerity. Seldom mar
rying more than one wife, prostitution
is absolutely unknown, with the result
that the health Of the tribe is excellent,
and one never sees those hOrrid disfig-
urements of feature so common in other
portions of Marocco. No doubt to a
great extent the moral character Of the
Berbers is due to the fact that their
women are allowed entire liberty, do
not veil their faces and mix ON almost
all occasions with the men.
One of the first things that struck me
on my arrival at Dads was the good hu-
mored and innocent chaff that passed
between the men and the girls of the
tribe, even in the streets of the ksar,
and still more when they brought us our
food to the minzah on the housetop.
The women are distinctly pretty, with
very fair skins and clear complexions;
but they detract much from their ap-
pearance by the strange manner in
which thew a6orn their faaturaq With
henna and kohl, the former red dye
and the latter antimony. y.-"T Tafiet. " by

ALiRMED OYER A REDUCTION.

EMPLOYEES OVER THE FIRST
MKlNLEY CUT.
The tenth Of the month IS pay day at
New ,astle Wooden Mills and yester-
day, leing the first day of the new
month. all weavers were notified OF a
mod dcation of the scale of wages,
which reduced their pay Is cents a cut.
Several Of the most exercised weav-
ers told an Evening Journal reporter
last ght that ,it was reduction Of Is
cents a cut, and they made two cuts
1of cothl a day, and thus suffered a
redue ion of 80 cents a day. They pro-
posed TO stop work Immediately, wait
for Winter time and then go shovelling
snow.
An old and experienced employe of
the mills explained, this morning, that
the grade of goods now to be manufac-
tured here is entirely different from the
old Goth, as much really as there is
between spool cotton No. 30 and No go.
Before the cloth contained forty-two
picks TO the inch, while the new grade,
coarsHr and heavier contained but
thirty picks. In other words where
the bobbin was driven through forty
two times before. it now has to be sent
through but thirty times to the inch.
The modification of pay, he claimed,
would not reduce their weekly earn
ings

PILOT BOATS RETIRED.
DELAWARE AND PENNSYLVANIA
PILOTS GETTING READY FOR
TIE STEAMBOATS,.

IL . hANpOA %
A consolidation of the interests Of
the Pennsylvania and Delaware pilots
has been consummated whereby five
of the pilot boats now in service will
be laid up Owing to the near advent
of steam pilOtage service it is hardly
likely that the old boats will ever be
called into use again.
It has been decided to withdraw the
Baysrd, Knight, Cope Howard and
Whndin, which have been in service
for a number Of years. The Ker, Tun-
nell and Edmunds, much more recently
built, will be kept at work for the time
beins. and win probably be held in re-
serve after the introduction of the
steam system.
Tho reduction in the service, it is
thought. viii reduce the running ex-
penses, which, it is claimed, are very
large The steam pilot plan will not
be introduced until next Summer, but
the reduction in the number of cruis-
ing boats will take place at once.
