The Case of Edith Behr.

A New York paper is making a
wonderful display of sentiment over
this young woman who was arrested
at Lyons Farms, N. j., for assaulting
two men who were roughly treating
her father For this she was SEN
tenced to throe months imprison-
mcnt ran away, recently returned
was resentcncod and is now serving
out hor time. She is a character,
and the Easton FREQ Press thus re-
lates a chapter of hor history.
The fact is, the girl deserves all
she is getting. She is not unknown
here. Some time ago woman sent
lot of goods to Easton by the Cen-
tral Railroad from Somcrville, N. j
Whom she came to take the goods
from the freight depot, she declared
she had boon robbed. She brought
suit for $500 before an alderman.
One of tho witnesses was this Edith
Behr Sho said tho woman was her
aunt that she and hor father had
holpcd pack tho boxes and that Ger.
tain articles wero missing. She
made a star witno3s. But that night
she and the woman in question
quarrelled and then tho Bohr girl
told the Central agent nothing had
been lost at all 4; that it was a pre-
arranged affair to cheat the com.
pany. So it proved. But the girl
had committed perjury and, had it
not been for the quarrel, the Central
Railroad Company would have been
swindled.
And this is the girl the New York
Journal is writing sentimental gush
about by the column. 1t will now
try to get her pardoned. But, if
there is any hard, common sense in
the Jersey courts-and we rather
think there is-this scheme will
meet the defeat it deserves.

The proper method to pursue in
order not to injure the trees, and at
the same time secure free flow of
sap, is something too little under
stood. One cardinal point which
should always be borne in mind is
the fact that sap nearest the bark is
sweetest and makes the finest pro
duct furthermore, that while deep
boring will produce more sap, it will
also injure the color apd flavor of
the produce, and is liable to prove
harmful to the tree Special in
quiry made by this journal among
the best maple sugar makers of Yer
mont, New York and Ohio, points
to general testimony against deep
boring. While some favor boring
to the depth of inches, this is ex-
ceptional, the majority of expert
testimony favoring to ~ inches.
The diameter of the hole favored is
"a to p inch Those using a bit up
to % in put in only a shallow hole,
say 1 to II inches deep. c. F.
Phillips, a prominent sugar man at
Chagrin Falls, o., uses a - inch bit
and does not bore deeper than q
inch.
1t is unnecessary to caution
against girdling the trees. AS to
height from the ground, leading
Vermont maker prefers 4 feet and
advises choosing the side of the tree
which has the most and healthiest
growth do not hew or cut the bark
too much before boring, as this is
more harmful to the tree than the
hole. Bore on Il slightly upward
slant. After boring, ross off as lit
tie of the outer bark as possible,
leaving a sharp and smooth edge to
the hole. G. c. Post, of Burlington,
vt, says, "always hang the bucket
upon the spout and never hang by
use of spike or nail, such being
very injurious to the tree. "-Agri-
