An Old Fashioned Wedding.

After the wedding the young
couple were given a supper by the
brides father and the tables were
loaded down with good things to eat
and drink. There were forty -eight
people to partake of this repast and
happier, jollier crowd never gath
cred together.

Why Did They Abandon pompeil ?

At a period when newspaper
discussions were rather vapid,
despite the accredited appear
ance of the sea serpent and the
arrival of the large potato Max
Nordan in an Austrian journal
propounded a problem that should
lead to useful inquiry:
Why was it that the inhabit-
ants of Pompeii did not return
to their homes after the destruc-
tion of the city?
OF the 30, 900 inhabitants a few
hundreds at most seem to have
lost their lives. The eruption of
Vesuvius lasted only a few days.
The deposit of lava and ashes was
not very thick.
The houses might have been
easily repaired.
Many of them stand to this day.
They were beautiful houses, many
of them, richly appointed and
containing valubles of great price.
Had the Pompeiians no love of
home, or were they too supersti-
tious, or did their terror at the
eruption make them believe the
disaster might come again?

sun is warmer there and the sap flows
more freely. Later the buckets are
shifted TO the other sides.
After the holes are bored galvan-
lied iron spout is driven in. This spout
is furnished with hook on which the
buckets are hung. The buckets are
usually of bright tin, and most of them
are provided with covers to keep out

1t takes about seven or eight quarts
of sap, Oh an average, to make pound
of sugar, and an average tree yields
six pounds. 1t varies, however, the To-
cation OF the tree having an important
influence on the proportion Of sugar in
the sap. For instance, a tree near O
brook yields more sap but less sugar
than one standing on dry knoll.
The sap is gathered by means Of large
casks or holders fastened to a sled.
drawn by oxen or horses. 1t is then
taken to the boiling house, usually in
the center of the orchard, where 1t Is
placed in shallow evaporating pans.
These are arranged with alternate di-
visions which run nearly across the
pan, thus forming a long course ex-
tending In zigzag line the whole
length of the evaporator. The sap runs
in slowly at the upper end and runs out

proved evaporators have a cover and
are self skimming, two features which
practically eliminate all impurities.
II the maker Is selling his product as
sirup, he reduces it to a weight Of ten
or eleven pounds to the gallon. When
making dry sugar, the sirup is placed
in the sugaring of pan, where 1t is
boiled until it will grain. IL the sirup
is to be made into bricks, 1t 10 boiled
little longer than If intended for dry
sugar.
Vermont has established maple
suger exchange. which has secured
legislation to prevent adu,teration, aEG
the practice has been pretty generally
stamped out. Every pound of suga.
and every quart Of sirup which has the
exchange brand must conform to test
Of saccharlne quality and must be alb
solutely correct in color and favor.

sugar industry is an artificial sugar

Origin of a Joke.

DIR. Flinders Fletrie, the emi-

that he has deciphered the cunei-
form inscription on a tablet he
sexcavated in the plains of As
syria, and believes that it is a
copy of prehistoric comic paper.
Among other items, it contained
4the following merry jest, which
3bears a strangely familiar sound :
"'Now, there were gathered to-
gether at the place of the telling
of stories, many of them that
have lived long in the land, and
, one of them lifted up his voice,

MAPLESUGARSCARCE
WHY THE PRICE OF THE GENUINE
ARTICLE is HIGH.

Not So Much Produced as In Former

Exhausted - limitations Favored
with Hickory Chips.
This is the season when the maple
sugar maker gathers up his pots and
pals and, armed with auger and spig-
OTIS, invades the sugar bush to gath
er the spring harvest Of delicious slrup
and sugar. For some years the crop
of this favorite sweet has been wan
ing, and, whereas ten or twelve years
ago the annual production amounted
to $4,000 tons, 5000 is now the aver
age This, of course, means a cOnsid-
erabe increase in cost to the consum
er.
Makers and dealers declare that the
price of maple sirup this year will be
much higher than last. This is in part
due to the fact that there is little or
none of last years crop in stock and
that this years sugar making season
will be unusually short owing to the
recent long period of cold weather.
Vermont is the great maple sugar
making state, and Ohio is the next lar
gest producer Considerable Quanti-
ties are also made in northern New
York, and it is said that the produc-
tion there is increasing. Other states
along the northern border of the coun-
try produce more or less, but the guam
tity is insignificant when compared
with the aggregate output Of the states
named.
Maple sugar is made from the sap of
the sugar, or hard maple, tree. 1t is
known by various names, but in north
ern New England 1t is called rock ma
pie.
The sap OF the maple is obtained by
boring in the trunk a hole about FIVE
eighths of an inch in diameter and two
and a half inches deep two or three
feet from the ground. At the begin

tress Betty Greene, while enjoying the

he became sentimental. Certain 1t is,
that Mistress Betty positively and stead

though she owned one Of the fieetest
saddle horses In the county and was ex-
ceedingly fond OF riding. Her conduct
became so marked that her father at last
deemed it necessary to demonstrate
with her.

persist in such discourtesy TO DR.. Frank

over. Betty, Dr. Franklin is the most
famous man in the whole world. and
any girl ought to feel fattered by his
attentions. He is old enough to be
your father. and therefore your be-
havior is especially rude. I command
you. my daughter, to be more polite TO
him hereafter. and the next time he
asks you to ride you must 90 with
him."
In those days children were brought
