MADE FIRST MAPLE SUGAR.
Indian Squaw Accidentally Supplies
the Sweet to Her Chief.
From the Chicago Chronicle.


The legend of the discovery of ma
pie syrup is a curious one, and one of
national Importance to those of us who
are real Americans, for it was one
of our native Indian chiefs who made
this discovery, according to the legend.
This chief instructed his squaw to
cook a piece Of venison for his sole
enjoyment on his return from the
chase.
After putting the meat to cook in
water obtained by melting snow the
squaw became so absorbed in making
pair of moccasins for her husband
that she let the meat burn, as many
more civilized housewives have done
since. Also, like the modern house
wife, she was ready to meet the emer-
gency. AS there was no time to melt
snow again, she bethought herself of
the water running from the maple tree
behind the WigWam. This she poured
in with the maat.
The hunter was delayed in his COM
ing, so that when he returned there
was nothing but a sticky mess in the
bottom of the pot. Fearing storm,
the guilty squaw hid when she heard
her husband coming, but, hearing no
cutburst, she ventured forth and found
the lusty chief utterly oblivious to ev-
erything about him except the pot,
which he held between his knees, eat
ing the contents with the utmost de-
light and licking his fingers with
gusto.
This was the first dish of maple
syrup served and was fortunate dis
covery by our forefathers, for history
tells us that as far back as 1870 the
first maple syrup and sugar were made
in Vermont, and for many years her
output was nearly one-third of what
was made in the country.
In the olden time maple syrup MAX
ing was not only picnic where many
a love match began, but it was most
necessary function, for maple sugar
was the only kind of sweet known to
the rank and file. Nearly every we'll
to-do farmer In those days owned his
own sugar camp and every member Of
the family was called on to lend a
hand in sugar making time. Methods
have changed more than the seasons,
and from the middle of February till
the first Of March the owner of a sugar
canp. begins to make ready. When the
first warm southwest winds begin to
blow, and the snow is soft enough to
make good snowballs the time has
come to go to work.
Primitive sugar-making has gone its
way, along with candle-d dipping and
many of the other home industries of
early times. The ingenuity OF many
has brought about most wonderful
changes, among them the chains Of
evaporators, clearing and straining and
boiling down, the syrup passing from
enc pan to another seemingly without
the aid OF human hands.

CENTRAL OF GE0RGIA'S
EARNINGS,
The Operation of the Property Com.
pared With other Roads.

The earnings of the Central of Geor-
gia have recently been the subject of
two interesting articles in the Wall
Street Journal. In the first of these,
which appeared, some two weeks ago,
it was stated that while the Central
is doing an excellent business, the ex-
penses of operation and maintenance
seem rather high.
This statement drew forth, a little
later, the following statement, giving
figures and comparisons to show that
the operation of the property will COM
pare most favorably with that of any
other roads in this section of the coun-
try:
Comparing the ratio which the cost
Of conducting transportation on this
road bears to its gross earnings over
period of five years, it will be seen
that this ratio has shown a general
tendency to decline, while 1t is true
that this decline has not been mark
ed. For the last five years the proper
ton of the cost of conducting trans
portation has been as follows:
1908. 1902. 1901. 1900. 1899.
1912 1886 1851 1922 1851
IF we now take the transportation
cost per ton-mile for each of the last
five years, the declining cost of con-
Quoting transportation on this. road
will be more plainly observed. The
figures given below are not exact as
the writer has been unable to differ
entiate the cost of passenger tranSpor-
tation from freight transportation. But
as the passenger earnings have. dur
ing this period borne a pretty uniform
ratio to the freight earnings, these fig
'ures can DE taken for the purpose
of comparison. / give the cost of trans
po1'tation per ton-mile in mills:
5 52S5 1857 1881 i 1890 1850 5ySS; 5sss
with the exception of the results
for the fiscal year 1902 these figures
show a pretty uniform decline in the
cost of conducting transportation,
amounting since 1899 to nearly per
cent.
'In order to further determine wheth-
er the expenses on the Central of Geoc-
gia are excessive if we compare the
ratio of the transportation cost on this
road with that Of other prominent rail-
road companies operating in the South
it will be found that with one or two
exceptions the Central of Georgia COM
pares very favorably with its neigh
bors, not only for this year, but for
each of the last five years. In the Ia
BILE following, the ratio which the cost
of conducting transportation bears to
the gross earnings on several Southern
railroads for four fiscal years since
1899, are given for the purposes of COM
parison. The table will also show the
general tendency on these roads of the
transportation cost for a period of five
years. Omit the figures for 1901, as
they are not exceptional, and it is not
necessary for the purpose to give the

These figures show that for the last

transportation on the Central of Geor-
