How INDIAN. Made Maple suwsr.

Ever since the Indians in the section
If Vermont now known as Fletcher
discovered honey" In the maple trees
that district has been known far and
wide as the heart of the Vermont sug-
nr country. The way the red men ex-
tracted the delicious compound was
somewhat slow as compared with the
present process. He used to cut
santing cash In the bark and insert
In the lower end gauge shaped piece
of wood, from which the sap ran and
dropped into poplar or Eastwood
trough At the end of the season
these troughs would be set up against
the trees and left until the following
season, by which time the troughs
would be thoroughly mildewed.
This materially added to the flavor
OF the aboriginal sugar, but can hardly
be said to have improved it The
evaporator of those times consisted OF
an iron Kettle swung from sapling
bent over stump. By a slow and
tedious process the sap was first heat
ed and then boiled In this kettle, often
taking two or three days boiling be-
fore it could be sugared OF. This was
the way In which the redskins and the
early Vermonters eked out sweet
MIN of their tea and johnnycake.

Uncle Jimmy was firm believer in
the success of Cleveland each time
that the New York man ran for the
Presidency After the second nomina-
tion Clawson made bet with some Of
his Republican nelghbors to the effect
that he never would have his hair cut
until Cleveland should be elected.
The Democratic candidate was beat
cn that time and Uncle Jimmy" let
his hair grow, as he had promised.
He was pleased with the result. So
much so, that when Cleveland was
elected again four years later he did
not sacrifice his locks, but let them
grow.

Pat outwits the Devil.

An Englishman, Scotchman and an
lrishman fell under the power of the
EVIL One who condemned all three to
be hung. but allowed them to select
the tree on which the suspension was
to be effected. While the Englishman
chose an oak and the Scotchman a
pine, the lrishman selected a goose
berry bush. On the devil waving his
hand, the three selected objects duly
appeared and the representatives of
England and Scotland were forthwith
strung up. When ii came TO the Irish,
mans turn his Satanic Majesty walked
around the bush and said. I'm afraid
it IS not tall enough" on which Pat
exclaimed, "Oh. bedad, I'm in no hurry
can just wait till 1t grows"

WAX CANDLES in DEMAND.
But They Are Not Made of Wax at All,
ozocsrite Being the Composition.


ozoesrite Being the Composition.
There is popular impression that
wax candles are manufactured from
beeSwax. No doubt some of those ON
the market can be traced to the busy
little insects. but not many. Ozocer.
lie, a product of the earth, is the COM
position sf which the bulk of them are
formed. In the United States the min
eral is dug In Utah aud In California,
the European beds being located In
Wales and Gallcia and Roumana.
When found in its natural state ozo-
cerite appears IN translucent, dark
brown, thin tIms. whioS " .bslp
refined resembles beeswax clus,..
The wax mines of Eastern Galicia,
leased and operated by Il syndicate Of
American capitalists, form one OF the
most curious fields of industry imag-
Unable. They are located around Bory-
slav, which Is also the center of the
eastern oil district of that part of Aus
tria The entire wax fields are hut
fifty acres in extent but more than Il
thousand shafts have been sunk in
that limited area, and almost 6oO0 men
are ut work on the tract. The veins of
the mineral frequently are sixteen
inches thick and II is dug with shoyels
and hoisted from the shafts by wind
lasses. Many uses are made of this
wax besides moldlng 1t into candles
and fortunes have been made by the
men interested in these curious mines,
the value of the crude product being 3
cents a pound at the mouth of IL shaft
The wax candle--or, speaking more
correctly the ozoeerlte candle--is again
becoming fashionable In the homes of
the wealthy. In the mansions of the
wealthy as well as in the rooms of the
poverty stricken. candles may be found
to-day, though for widely different rea
sons. To the poor candles are indis
pensable because science never has
discovered a cheaper mode of lighting
And TO the rich the flood of light emit
ted by forest of candles Is boon
because science has not and probably
never Will discover n softer and more
mellow light than that shed by the
yellow flame at the end of the ancient
wax cylinder.
Both health and comfort are other
points taken Into consideration by
many city folks who burn candles in
their bedrooms and In other places
where brilliant light Is not essential
In the first place, what little odor is
caused by Il candle flame Is neither In
furious nor disagreeable. and In the
second, the fame requires but little
oxygen to keep ii going, nor does II
heat room to an appreciable degree,
double advantage too obvious TO be
dwelt upon.
But outside of our big cities the can
die Is used extensively. In country
homes where gas is not available and
where oil lamps must be used the cam
die Is found frequently as an agree
able and safe substitute. The wax
candle Of to-day, however, is widely
different thing from that of oiden
times, The busy bee may hum and
collect honey and turn out all the wax
she likes, except that her product is
used for the candles IN Roman Catholic
and thigh" churches, she contributes
little CT nothing to those found in the
markets.-Chicago Chronicle.

A MOTHER ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
What came very near being tragedy
occurred at the home of G. w. Lindsay
in Fredericksburg, Thursday night, and,
as it was, Mrs. Lindsay is at the Mary
Washington Hospital suffering from the
effects Of wounds inflicted in an effort to
end her life. She had been for some
time suffering from severe mental de-
preston. She and her four daughters
Mary, Olivia, Margaret and Ruth
dined together, as usual, Mr.. Lindsay
being at work in Stafford county, and at
dinner each of the girls drank lemonade,
as did their mother. A short time
afterwards all were taken violently i'll,
and the illness was accompanied by
vomiting, which probably saved the lives
of all who drank the lemonade, as there
is strong probability that Mrs. Lind
say, in moment Of temporary
alteration, placed some kind Of poison
in the beverage. At O'Clock all of the
children were much better, but the
climax came when Mrs. Lindsay, still
in an unbalanced frame of mind, at
tempted to kill herself with an axe.
The woman cut three or four gashes in
the top and side of her head with the
are, and it was only the prompt arrival
of DIR. Barney and DR.. Martin which
saved her life. They found her lying in
a pool Of blood.

HICKSs FORECASTS JUNE.

The FIRST storm period is central ON the
4tb. covering the End to 9th. High de-
grees of humidity, high temperature,
and very low barometer, on and next to
the Srd, will prove certain hsrbingers OF
severe storms. If actual storms are de-
layed, even up to the 9th or 9th, do not
be thrown of your guard until the indi-
cations eliminate. Vicious thunder
storms, accompanied with hail and pos
sibly tornado centers, are among the
things reasonably to be expected at this
period. Some very cool nights are sure
TO result when the storms are over.
On and touching the 9th and 10Th,
look for reaction to storm conditions
change to much warmer, falling barome-
ter and more storms Of rain. thunder,
and heavy squalls of wind. The regular
summer solstice disturbances will set IN
at this time, making June showers prob
able almost any afternoon and evenin,
The regular storm period, covering
the 18th to the 10Th, will reach its cul-
minating stages about Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, the 18th, 18th and 18th.
On and touching the 2lst and 22nd,
look for the return of storm conditions
with renewed thunder and rain squalls,
and much harmless lightning at night.
Most sections will have sufficient rains
at this and other June periods. The
last week in June is covered by com
bined Mercury and Vulcan storm period.
About the 25th it will turn exceedingly
warm, the barometer will fall and persis'
tent cloudiness and frequent storms OF
wide extent and much energy will mark
the closing days of the month.

AEREsT OF ALLEGED SPY.-A sensa
ton has been caused by the arrest at
Nancy, France, on Wednesday last, Of a
man named Baliguet on charge of espi-
onage. He is accused of having sold
French military secrets to Germany and
of having been regularly in German
pay. The irony of the situation is that
Baliguet gave information to the French
government on the subject of German
military matters and received money
for his services only a few days be-
fore his arrest. His position in the
secret service appears TO have given
him access documents of an important
character. When they disappeared from
official quarters in Paris suspicion fell
upon him and his movements were
watched. His frequent journeys to
Strasburg attracted attention. 1t seems,
however, that direct proof of his guilt
was furnished by an army contractor, to
whom Baliguet confessed the nature OF
his occupation. The contractor set a
trap for him, and when Baliguet asked
for details as to the defenses of fort in
the neighborhoOd he drew him on to put
his inquiries into writing. The contrac-
tor then exposed Baliguet to the author
tiles. The wife of the alleged spy was
arrested last week at Lyons, In the
opinion of the police she was the inter
mediary between her husband and the
German authorities, her frequent rail-
way journeys giving color to the supposi-
ton. Baliguet's home has been search
ed, and tits said a number Of compromis-
ing papers have been seized, including
some stolen from Paris. The presumed
spy is man of middle age.

INDIANS IN AN ILL. HUMOR
Irritation Between ShOshones and Arapahoes
Increased by Recent Events.
INDICATIONS OF TROUBLE IN FUTURE
Arrest of ArapahOes by ShOshOne
Police Anglers the Fo-mer-United
States Marshal Has q
Close Call.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 11.-(Special)-
A letter received today from Lander states
that everything is quiet at the Indian
agency near there. There is bound to be
factional trouble between the Shoshones
and Arapahoes, sooner or later, however,
The recent arrest OF James Tosiah, an
Arapahoe, and the action of the Shoshone
Indian police in assisting Deputy United
States Marshal Joe La Fors has left the
young men of the Arapahoe tribe On no
pleasant frame Of mind.
1t develops that La Fors, although a
brave officer and capable of handling a
dozen Indians, had a narrow escape from
death when he was making his way to the
agency in a buggy with Josiah. A number
of TOsiah's companions gave chase. Only
one man was armed, and he was stopped
while his horse was at full gallop by Acting
Agent Frank s.. Smith and disarmed. The
the prompt action OF Agent Smith, La Fors
might have been stoned to death. He
could probably have killed a number of the
Indians, but there were so many that they
would have reached hin.
The drunken Indian policeman with whom
Acting Agent Smith had a fight last
Wednesday, and whom Dick Washable,
chief Of police, struck on the head with a
six-shooter, is the son Of a man who was
killed by old Chief Washable years ago over
a squaw, and as a result of Chief OF Police
Dick Washakie's action the feeling between
the two factions is naturally intensified.
