MAPLE SUGAR.
Widespread Ignorance on tho raye sa
 Consumers.

Speaking of maple sugar brings @ mind the fact that there is no product of the farm concerning which there is greater ignorance on the part of con sumers than maple sugar and sirup It seems to be almost the universal opinion that maple sirup to be genuine must be dark in color and of thick, heavy body. 1 have carefully studied this mat ter, and am convinced that dealers in large towns and cities are largely re- sponsible for this. Maple sirup is one of the easiest things to doctor. For in. stance, gallon of strictly pure, light colored maple sirup is received, and for eign substances, as cane sugar or glu- cose, are added and three gallons made, and slI are branded 'pure maple sirup."
 Some years ago l stepped into gro. eery store in the city of Denver and in- Quired if they had any genuine maple sirup. "Oh, yes''-and I was shown cans branded "pure Vermont maple sirup." I asked the grocer if he would kindly let me taste sample. He did go. and as l looked up I suspect he be- gan to ''smell miee' and asked if was manufacturer of the article. I said, "Yes, and I ship it every spring to your city" Seeing he was fairly caught, he said: .'The fact is I cannot fool you, see This sirup of ours wae probably made iii Chicago"
 Last spring I sent a gallon by TO. quest to a pastor of church in Brook lyn who in his boyhood days used to live on farm in Chenango county and knew what real maple sirup was. We sent him gallon of early make, of a light amber shade, and at once received word that the sirup was entirely ahead of any he had ever seen. and that it was an utter impossibility to procure such in the city.
 Why is it impossible? I know fine sirup is made and shipped. The fact is, as said before, the consumer is not allowed to taste that fine. light colored, genuinely pure article, for once he gets taste of it the trade for the bogus ar- sicle is gone. A few days ago friend told mo he sent pound of fine sugar, made by one of cur farmers, to his mother in Baltimore. The cake weighed IS ounces, and as it went by mali it cost him 18 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 1t was It was 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 be saw 1t he said: "You can't fool me. That isn't maple sugar. Maple sugar is always black" She chopped of a cor ner and told him to sample 1t. He de- clared he had never seen maple sugar 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 order to be genuine, need not Do black as stovepipe Country Gentleman.

MEDITERRANEAN RENTs.
Highest ct Gibraltar and Lowest oa sAs
 Island of Malta.

Island of Malta
 In no place on the surface of the globe Is rent so high as at Gibraltar, the req son being that the geographical posi-. ton of the town precludes the possibil. ity of its being extended in any direo. tion. A long, narrow strip of what was once seabeaeh is alone available for building purposes. All the rest is pre- cipitous rock.
 Upon this narrow parapet, in some cases less than 100 yards in width, arc crowded the homes of 25,00O people. As much as $10 week is asked and obtained for the use of one small room, and this, too. i'll place where the nor nal rate of wages is quite 10 per cent less than ill America. Naturally the overerowding is fearful, and, the water supply being scarce and intermittent, cleanliness of living as we understand it is almost impossible.
 No wonder that in the old days the plague and the cholera ravaged the "rock" with virulence unknown ip the filthy and presidential cities of the far east.
 In Malta, on the other hand, house rent is ridiculously cheap. Anywhere outside of Valetta an excellent seven room house can be had for $15 year. while rates and taxes are unknown. The houses arc built entirely of the cream oolored stone of which the island is composed, and which is so soft that it can be cut with saw into blocks or slabs of any desired size or shape. Sc while the Maltese builder is digging up his foundation he is at the same time getting out the material for his walls. his flooring and his roof. f.-PhiladeIphis Inquirer.

4 Brave Woman.

Mrs. J. T. Fowler. wife of the light house keeper at the North Dumpling light, Fishers Island sound, Rhode Is land, was ill charge of the tower in her husbands absenee not long ago when during a thick fog a break occurred in tho machinery by which bell is rung at regular intervals as warning to sailors. The bell was at tho top of the tower, with no regular way of reaching it. By means of ladders Mrs. Fowler climbed the tower, tied long rope to the bell and rang it till tho fog cleared away. The lighthouse board has sent her q letter of thanks, saying: "The lighthouse board has learned with pride and qualification of your thoughtful courage. It is expected that brave and faithful men will be found in it's serv- ice, but to find a woman able at peril ous time to assume the duties of an ab- sent man and thus prevent peril to life and property is q matter for double con pratulation.

 II IS thus that in all the walks of life and ln all occupations, tisnes change and knowl- edge and efficiency increase. In this re- spect medical science has kept pace with the advance in other lines. Physicians and chemists have grown rapidly more skillful. There are medicinal preparations now-a- days that cure diseases that were a few years ago considered absolutely incurable, The final triumph in this respect is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It was first given to the world thirty years ago, and has stood the test ever since that time. It cures e8 per cent. of all cases of consumption bronchial, throat and kindred affections. Thousands who were hopeless sufferers, and had been given up by the doctors, have testified to it's marvellous merits. It IS the great blood maker and flesh builder. It makes the appetite hearty, the digestion and assimilation perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and rich with the 1fe-giving elements of the food and the nerves strong and steady. It acts directly on the lungs and air passages. driving out all impurities and disease germs.

Auburndale.

"Until few years ago little Wis Consin hamlet was known simply as Hcg Back, from the peculiar shape of 6 hill near there,'' said a Milwaukee drummer Finally the citizens held an indignation meeting to wipe out the plebeian name and choose better one. It was decided to honor the place by giving it the name of the oldest settler, . man named King. Somebody suggest ed Kings Mills and another Kings vile, aud so on, but the old man him self objected. Then it was agreed to name the town for one of Mir. King 8 daughters, but he had seven of them. and jealousies promptly cropped out At last some genius noticed that all the girls were redheaded and suggested 'Auburndale. And Auburndale it is to this day. "--Troy Times.
