The Short Stops of the Train,

Sustained journey speed, from end to
end of run. is not merely matter of
high speed between stations 1t involves
also making the station stops short
The more stops there are the more im-
portant is promptness at stations. The
observant man who travels much can
not fail TO notice the effect Oh trainmen,
on station men and even on passengers
OF habitual fast running. All hands get
trained to alertness and precision OF
movement. 1t is fine thing to watch
the handling OF Il very fast train at a
station. 1t is inviaoratisg to see the
speed without haste of the inspectors
and the baggagemen, the quick and
smooth change Of engines and the cut
ting off of the dining car. l have seen
the other extreme On Southern rail
road, where the easy going conductor
ran past flag station and then backed
down mile to let OF enc passenger
His serene Indifference to time did not
make me feel any safer on his train.

Thousands of the Buckeye States

ment and residents Of each city and
town became anxious and curious TO
know who would be the next ss the
testimony from representative citi-
zens was daily published in the local
papers. Week after week went by
and the good people of Ohio settled
down to the fact that what their
neighbors said must be true; that
local testimony and statements from
people they knew must be reliable

Walked After His Head Was OF.

DR.. Loye, the French physician, who
has greatly interested himself in the
question, "What passes in the head Of
adecapitated human being?" relates the
following remarkable story, which he
says was taken from the archives of the
Vienna courts: 1t was i'll the year -
that Schoenenburg, well known bandit,
and four Of his associates were caught
and condemned to death. They were
aEeady on their knees ready to pay the
penalty of their bloody deeds by sub.
uniting to the awful fate of decapith.
ton when Schoenenburg addressed the
Judge asking that his four companions
might be pardoned on certain cond..
tons. If" asked the bandit, after
am beheaded. l get up and walk to the
hrst OF my comrades. Will you pardon
him." The judge thought that be was
pretty safe in complying with the re-
quest. Then" continued Schooner
burg, IF | walk TO the second the
third and the fourth will you pardon
them also:' The Judge replied that If
such miraculous feat could be per
formed he would obtain pardon for tha
other three also. The bandit was now
satisfied, and, bending his head, he re.
ceiyed the fatal blow. Instantly the
head rolled down in the sand, but 10
the surprise and horror Of all present
the headless trunk arose and walked
alone. Aimlessly, it appeared, the body
walked around until it passed the first,
the second. the third and the fourth
condemned bandit, when it fell down
and became motionless. Query. How
could headless body think?'

MAPLE SUGAR.
Widespread Ignorance on the Part OF
Consumers,

Consumers.
Speaking Of maple sugar brings to
mind the fact that there il no pyoduct
Of the farm concerning which there is
greater ignorance On the part of con-
sumers than maple sugar and strip. 1t
seems to be almost the universal opinion
that maple strip to be genuine must be
dark in color and of thick, heavy
body. have carefully studied this mat
ter, and I am convinced that dealers in
large towns and cities are largely re-
sponsible for this. Maple strip is one of
the easiest things to doctor" For in
stance, gallon of strictly pure, light
colored maple strip is received, and for
eign substances, as cane sugar or glu-
cose, are added and three gallons made,
and all are Stranded ''pure maple strip"
Some years ago stepped into gro
gerry store in the city of Denver and in
quired ii they had any genuine maple
sirup. "Oh, yes"-and l was shown
cans branded ''pure Vermont maple
sirup." asked the grocer if he would
kindly let me taste sample. He did
SO, and as l looked up suspect he be-
gan to "smell mice" and asked if ] was
manufacturer of the article. 1 said.
Yes, and I ship it every spring to
your city" Seeing he was fairly
caught, he said: 1.-The fact is cannot
fool you, I see. This strip Of ours was
probably made in Chicago"
Last spring l sent gallon by re-
quest to a pastor of church in Brook
lyn who i'll his boyhood days used to
| live ON farm in Chenango county and
knew what real maple strip was. We
sent him gallon of early make, of a
light amber shade, and at once received
word that the strip was entirely ahead
| OF any he had ever seen, and that ii
was an utter inlpossibility to procure
such in the city.
Why is it impossible? l know fine
sirup Is made and shipped. The fact
| is, as l said before, the consumer is not
| allowed to taste that fine, light colored,
genuinely pure article, for once he gets
a taste Of it the trade for the bogus ar
| tlcle is gone. A few days ago friend
told me he sent pound of fine sugar,
| made by one of our farmers, to his
| mother i'll Baltimore. The cake weighed
Is ounces, and as it We by mail il
cost him is cents postage. The letter
carrier who delivered it said it must be
something valuable to pay so much
postage. The lady said she could guess
what it was. 1t was q cake of maple
sugar her boy had sent her from New
| York.
As the carrier lived close by the lady
told him to come in during the evening
and she would show him something
good. He did so, but the moment he
saw it he said: "You can't fool me.
That isn't maple sugar. Maple sugar i.
always black" She chopped off a cor
ner and told him to sample it. He de-
clared he had never seen maple sugal
before and wanted the lady to write
and order him 100 pounds. The sugar
was shipped, cash received, and one
man learned that maple sugar. in ordel
to be genuine, need not be black as
stovepipe. Country Gentleman.
