MAKING MAPLE SUGAR.

Tn the Woods of Michigan-How the |
 Sap is Gathered in the Frosty Morn
 ings and Boiled Down in the Sugar
 Camps
 The term ''sugar bush," as used in northern Michigan, has a somewhat ambiguous meaning. Properly speak ing. there are no sugar bushes here, for
 the entire product of the maple trees
 is confined into syrup. Experience has
 shown that syrup is easier made and
 brings quicker and surer returns than
 sugar Hence, while the terms "sug-
 ar bush" and sugar maker" are still
 preserved and commonly used, the
 words are not suggestive of the product
 manufactured.
 It is only within comparatively re- cent years that the people of northern Michigan have directed their efforts extensively to obtaining the neglected source of wealth that lies in the im- | mense acreage of hardwood forests. But in an incredibly short length of time the business has assumed exten- l siye proportions and the locality has 1 become famous for it's unrivaled qual- | ity of syrup. No where do maple trees yield a cleaner, purer product. The ! syrup has the genuine maple flavor | unmistakable, unmatchable. The great l tall forest naples stood for years un- 1 touched by the hand of man. Now they 1 yield abundantly 8 sparkling fluid, l clear as crystal and rich with the most | delicious saccharine substances. The | flavor is peculiar to the locality, and l this is why northern Michigan syrup is l always recognizable and finds a ready
 sale in market where the demand is i greater than the supply.
 The season here opens about three or
 four weeks later than it does in Ohio and Southern Michigan. From March 10 to 20 is the usual time for tapping, although this year the season opened
 on March 5. At this time there was be-
 tween two and three feet of snow upon the ground, and it was laborious task
 to get around the woods and tap al the trees. This operation is of prime importance and only experienced hands are intrusted with the work. It re- ouires some little tact and knowledge on the part of the tapper to recognize 7 the maple trees at glance.
 The old style of tapping was to cu1 } a deep notch in the trunk of the tret
 
 and catch the flow in a wooden trough 7 i But this barbaric method not only kill 3 ed the trees in three or four years, bu ] the sap, standing exposed to the sun il . inc wooden receptacle, soon souret l | and became worthless. The same evil } existed in a less aggravated form . | when a few years ago. trees were tap : ped and the sap conveyed to woodel . spouts. To-day, however, every pro
 l gressive sugarmaker taps his tree f with hree-eighths inch bit, drives i d a short tin spile and attaches brigh = tin bucket and puts a cover over 1t t # l keep out pieces of bark, dirt, insect 3. and rain water that fall from the tree VI Only experienced hands are allowe IT to tap for several reasons. Good judg d ment must be exercised in selecting tn ,f best place to make the incision. Sa s will not flow from the dead side of IS tree. Nor should the hole be made

CUBA AND THE CUBAN PEOPLE

Interesting Address Before Social Sci-
 ence Club by B. P. Arvine.
 Before a, meeting of the members of the Social Science club, held in the or K, Ice of Lawyer Henry G. Newton on SSChapel street last night, Hon. H. r. N rArvine made an interesting address, detailing his recent trip to Cuba, Mex ia and other Spanish-American coun- tries and giving his impressions or the condition of affairs.
 Speaking of the Cubans and thelr abiiitv to govern themselves success f,,iIv he said that he was of the opin ion that they would be able to govern 4JamseIves in as good manner as +bav are now being governed by Spain or as any Spanish-American country or Spain itself was governed. The snanish cortes is not considered as having any power and it is simply used to close the will of the minority in a legal form.
 The offer of autonomy to Cuba was ,nade without consulting the cortes. Of the people in Cuba about 75 per cent. are white and 25 per cent. colored. They are generally intelligent and req sonably well cultivated, and in all probability superior to the greater part If tbe inhabitants of Mississippi, Ala hama. or Louisiana. They are far su- perior to the inhabitants of Mexico venezuela and Ecuador. At first they ,,av not be able to govern themselves ,,y;+b q. democratic form of government hit they will in time as well as the neonle of the United States and o1 Canada could govern themselves. Ol .I csno,isI, soldiers which are now il Cnba. he said that there are possibly 6o,OOo young fellows between the age of eighteen and twenty-four, stupid and unintelligent looking fellows They rarely ever drill and are yer. poorly disciplined. Most of them lool like country peasant boys who hav lust landed in this country with tha neculiar foreign tone and dress. The are small and with weary look. Tn army which Spain has sent to Cub is the largest ever sent to the Amer1 can continent, but the number Wit whom they have had to contend n one knows It is variously estimated The conservative estimate of the pres ent Cuban army is from 30,0OO to 40 900.
 Many people are and have been The opinion that the army IS compose of beggars, colored men, outlaws, cut fhroats and all the worst element !; inc island, but such is not the cas o This could not be possible.
