oLp.rIME SWEETNESS GONE.
Moinsses Is Now Made Into Rum, and

MOinsses Is Now Made Into Rum, and
Brown Sugar Can't BE bought.
"The old-fashioned molasses is rap
idly disappearing as an article of com
merce," said prominent grocer, re-
ports the Eastport (Me.) Sentinel, land
in its place have come number of sir
ups, which are more costly, and by no
means as satisfactory, especially to
the little ones, who delight, as we did
when we were young, in having 'lasses
on their bread. Most of the molasses
goes into the distilleries, where it is
made into rum, for which, notwith-
standing the efforts of our temperance
workers, the demand is constantly on
the increase, especially in the New Eng
land states and for the export trade.
The regular drinlter of rum will take
no other liquors in its place if he can
help it. 1t seems to reach the spot
more directly than any other dram.
The darker brown sugars have also dis
appeared, and they are not likely to re-
turn, owing to the methods of boiling
and the manufacture. Granulated
sugar is of the same composition, as
far as the saccharine qualities are con-
cerued, us loaf cut. loaf cube and
crushed, and differs only from them in
that its crystals DO not cohere. This
is because it is constantly stirred dur
ing the process of crystallization. The
lighter brown sugars taste sweeter than
the white. for the reason that there is
some molasses in them. Housekeep-
ers have difficulty in these days in find
ing coarse, dark sugars, which are al
ways preferred for use in putting up
sweet pickles, making cakes, and sim
liar uses. AS they cannot get brown
sugar any more, it may be well for them
to remember that they can simulate
brown sugar by adding a teaspoonful of
molasses to each quarter of pound of
the white granulated sugar. This COM
bination does as well in all household
receipts that call for brown sugar as
the article itself, and, besides, it saves
them great deal of hunting for brown
sugar. which. as said before, has dis
appeared from the market"

In Galicia, in Austrian Poland. there
is remarkable underground city which
bears out this description. as it has a
population of over LOCO men. women
and children, scores of whom have never
seen the light of day. 1t is known as
the City of the Salt Mines, and is stu
atcd several hundred feet below the
earth's surface. 1t has its town. hall,
theater and assembly, room, as well as
beautiful church, decorated with
statues, all being fashioned from the
pure crystallized salt rock. 1t has we'll
graded streets and spacious squares,
lighted with electricity. There are
numerous instances in this under
ground city where not a single individ-

Ed. LrADER-Where is Asoury Park
Bv an examination of map one can
readily ascertain that il is on the At

of New York City, a little more than
an hours ride to that metropolis
And I NAV add here, that know of no
more pleasant trip than from Asbury
Park to Sandy Hook by rail, and then
by steamer up the bay. Here one
meets the countless vessels, sloops,
steamers, yahtcs, all seemingly bound
for somedestinatou, but whether 1t
may be foreign or domestic, there is no
time to stop to inquire.

OIL However, let us to our subject.
Asbury Park is little city of about
5000 permanent inha abitants and during
the bathing season this number is
swelled to 25, 600 or $4,000. The little
city has its electric car lines and is
lighted with electricity. 1t also poses
ses its water works and the water is
very clear and nice.
Asbury Park and Ocean Grove-a
great Methodist rendezyous-are sep
arated at the ocean by what may be
termed a lake or bayou, it being some
200 or 500 feet wide and perhaps three
quarters OF mile long This lake has
its innumerable row boats decorated
and covered to resemble the Venetian
gondola. At night, with these boats
gliding silently along, twinkling with
Chinese ladterns, the effect is very
pretty.
We have often read of the gates of
the city" In the case Of Ocean Grove
this is not merely figure of speech,
but a reality. Where the streets enter
the city, gates are placed, and every
Saturday evening these gates are
closed and locked and thus remain un-
til the following Monday morning.
Not milk wagon, doctors gig, nay,
not even bicycle is permitted within
the gates during such closing. Is there
another city in the United States that
has such a closing? Another thing in
regard to Asbury Park, not a railroad
train is permitted to stop at the city on
Sunday, and this, of course. prevents
Sunday excursions The city has no
or bars, or gambling es:ab-
lishments
Now, having given an outline of this
city. find it already too lengthy and

HE KNEW WHO WORE SOCKS.
Clever Trick Played on IL German
General by Il Subaltern Officer.

Clever Trick Played on IL German
General by Il subaItern officer.
Under orders existing some time ago,
men in the German army wore at will
either socks or fuszlappen Ia species of
bandage) on their feet. During an in
spection, relates the San Francisco
Argonaut, certain general asked a
subaltern officer what his men wore on
their feet. He replied that some wore
socks and some lappen-about 10 per
cent. socks. The general further asked
him If he knew what each individual
wore. He was answered promptly in
the affirmative. What" said the gen
eral, pointing to a man in the ranks,
docs this man wear?" Socks" was
the response; and on the man taking
off boot on the generals order, a
sock was found to incase the foot. The
same test applied in several cases pro-
duced the same result. The general
was highly impressed with the inti-
mate knowledge of detail displayed by
the subaltern, but the lad disclosed
subsequently TO his brother officers the
simple device which procured him such
kudos. His men, by his order. had all
a sock on one foot and fuszlsppen on
the other. They were instructed TO
note carefully the answer given by their
officer, and to remove the boot which
would disclose a verifcation of his as
sertion,

HOLD a NET FoR A esAR.

Brufn Makes 1t Lively for a Couple
of Up-to-Date Hunters.
The following is vouched for by a re-
liable citizen of the locality where the
event occurred. near Disco, 12 miles
from Black River Falls, Wis, says the
Chicago Chronicle. The farmers had
been annoyed by wolves and one of
them found a den that he thought
would hold dozen or more. Four of
them went there with large fish net,
a long tin tube and double-barreled
gun. They had heard of soaring ami
mails from their den by putting tube
in the hole and then shouting through
the tube. Two of them held the net
over the mouth of the den and another
stood ready with the gun, while the
fourth one managed the tube. He gave
fearful screech into a funnel fixed in
the end of the tube and after an effort
or two there was a rush and growl and
out came black bear as though pos
sessed of nine demons.
He plunged into the net and the two
men and the bear had n merry time.
Theman with the gun didn't dare shoot,
for he could not tell where there was
the most bear and the least of the men.
The net broke and let his bearship
through and he made for tall timber
at marvellous rate. but the net men
looked very discouraged and it will be
n cold day when they try it over again.
The informant was very reticent
about telling who the men were, but as
he had double limp, his face scratched
and was in the city for a new suit of
everyday clothes it locked as though
he knew who helped hold the net.

FUSION WITH P0PULISTS.

The Populists of Charlotte coun-
ty have issued a circular to the
Democratic press and leaders in
the state setting forth set Of
resolutions passed by the party
recently, favoring an union with
the Democratic party in the com.
ing election, and asked that a
Populist be placed upon our state
ticket. We don't know how the
request is being received, but we
think the Democrats should care.
fully consider the proposition. We
don't want two tickets in the
field, dividing our strength, W here
only one is necessary. And then,
the PopnliSts were with us last
year, and are still, on the main
issues, and as a matter of simple
Justice they should he recognized.
And it may turn out in the future
that we will need these people.
Ii seems to us to be IA suggestion
that ought not to be lightly pass

THE PRICE OF GOLD.

The recent discovery of vast
gold mines in California and Alas.
ka will add materially to the
amount of the yellow metal, and
make, or ought to make, gold more
plentiful. But with these almost
fabulous sums already in sight the
value of Gold holds up. If this
additional sum were silver, doubt
less the price of the white metal,
as it now ranks among standard
money, would rapidly decline.
There is something back of all
this There are forces and powers
bolstering up the one and pulling
down the other. There are gov
ernments creating an unlimited
demand, and fixing the market
price OH the One,while doing Meth
er, but the opposite, for the other.
And so long as this continues we
cannot possibly trace the values
OF the two metals to their relative
production.
