HAPPINESS OF CHILDHOOD.
the Early Life should BE Made Beau.
tiful for the Sake of Enrich
ing the Character.

In looking back upon childhood,
many fail to see that it is the hap
piest time of life, for, standing dis.
met forever, are thoughtless words
which stabbed far deeper than thew
could to-day, and times of disgrace
which seemed more than we could
bear; also, the feeling that we were
really of little Importance until we
had fully grown was not
ing, says a writer in Good House
keeping.
If we had been warned: "Rids
your pony now, while you are small;
by and by your legs will drag on
the ground like the Yankee Doodle,s
and you might break the pony's
back" each canter would have been
precious. If over our p~layhous.
stood the sign: children only can
enter here" we might have better
appreciated admission.
Realizing all this, 1t is surely worth
the effort to impress upon our chill
dren the beauty and the privileges
of their golden days that, whatever
later life may hold for them, they
can say: "Never mind; ! have had
a beautiful childhood with its han.
piness pressed down and running
over" The early life of the child
will then have received it's proper
value and the whole character win
be enriched in consequence. Besides.
we know well that little lives ara
only with us through the golden
days.

The Force of Suggestion.

When a crime is committed which bears
a striking resemblance to some crime de-
scribed in popular novel or in a news
paper there are always people ready to
accuse the novel or the newspaper of
suggesting the crime by its vivid descrip
lions. 1t is possible that in some cases
this is true. But in determining the
cause of any human action it is i'm
pOrtant and difficult to ascertain whether
not be merely result of the influence
OF some deeper force-whether. in short,
two results of the same cause are not
mistaken for cause and effect.
For example. We have what is called
a wave of crime. in which 4 man in Kos-
ton kills womau BY strangling. then a
man in New York does the same thing.
and then a similar crime is committed in
Buffalo. 1t may be that all of these men
were actuated by the same mysterious
impulse affecting natures predisposed to
evil-doing and subjected 10 much the
same conditions. One might easily find
parallels of this SORT in a country which
had no newspapers Publicity is not only
necessary, but useful in such matters.
But a crime which was committed in
Kansas not long ago starts train of re-

suggested that her crime was probably
inspired by the reading of the story of
Jael and Sisera. Moreover, nobody ever
did. so far as heard from, parallel that
Biblical incident. How was it, if the
power Of suggestion is so enormous, that
in the days fifty years ago or there
abouts, when everybody in this country
read the Old Testament, perverted minds

some of the stories in that book? II

Maple Sugar Season.

There is no surer and scarcely any
earlier sign OF the reyiving activity OF
nature after her wintl's sleep than the
upward movement of the sap in sugar
trees II comes with the first mild days
Of February or March The frost is
scarcely yet out of the ground and the
snow often is not yet melted before the
machinery begins TO work that is soon to
clothe the sugar trees with buds and
leaves That is the time when the maple
sugar maker compels the trees to part
with share OF their sap. Other naples,
the birches hickories, and some other
trees yield small amount OF sugar but
none nearly as much as the sugar maple.
The tree is not found for sugar making
purposes outside oil North America. be
ing confined to the northern parts OF the
United States and the British possessions.
The secret OF making sugar from its sap
was probably obtained by the early whit
settlers OF America from the Indians. and
formerly it was anJindustry OF no small
imDortance. According to the census of
1870 the total production OF maple syrup
in the United States the preceding yea
was 2s.443. 6i5 poluds in twenty-eig dif-
ferent States. Or Which Vermont con
trjbuted the most-S. s94 3O2 pounds. InGi-
ana's record that year was 1892, 49,
pounds. The tptal quantity of maple
molasses returned was 92l 051 gallons
moi sufficient to constitute a great factor
in national wealth, but enough to sweeten
a great many buckwheat cakes.
The production is not as great now as
it was then, though the machinery and
facilities for the manufacture have been
greatly IMPROVED. For some reason or
other vermont has always led all the
other states in the production of maple
sugar-pcrhaps becafae the thrifty far
r,rrs of that state had foresight enough
10 preserve their trees and perhaps be
cause they found it convenient way to
exc out small incomes. In 1892 Congress
passed a law giving bounty on sugar Of
apy Kind manufactured in the United
states that reached specified standard
Of excellence. and out of 1000 sugar max
