meat burn, as many civilized housewives
have done since. Also, like the modern
housewife, 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
meat.
The hunter was delayed in his coming, so
that when he returned there was nothing
but sticky mess in the bottom of the pot
Fearing a storm, the guilty squaw hid when
she heard her husband coming. but, hearing
no outburst she ventured forth and found
the lusty- chief utterly oblivious to every
thing about him except the pot, which he
held between his knees, eating the con-
tents with the utmost delight and licking
his fingers with gusto.
This was the first dish of maple syrup
served and was a fortunate discovery 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 making
was not only picnic, where many love
match began, but 1t was a most necessary
function, for maple sugar was the only
kind of sweet known to the rank and file.
Nearly every well-to-do farmer in those
days owned his own sugar camp and every
member of the family was called on to
lend hand in sugar-making time. Methods
have changed more than the seasons, and
from the middle of February till the LIST OF
March the owner of q sugar camp begins
to make ready. When the first warm south
west winds begin to blow and the snow is
soft enough to make good snow balls the
time has come to go to work.
Primitive sugar-making has gone its way,
along with candle-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 eyaporators clearing and straining and
boiling down. the syrup passing from one
pan to another seemingly without the aid OF
human hands.

WHO OWNS THE MAsToDoN.
Is It the Owner of the Land or the Ten
ant Who Digs It UpP

From the indianapolis journal.
A few DAYS ago a dispatch from FAIR
mount. Ind, announced the discovery near
that place of the well-preserved remains OF
a mastodon. They were found in the ped OF
a small creek, where they had reposed for
untold centuries, to be partially uncovered
at last by spring freshet to the wondering
gaze of countrymen, who dug them out
and. in their crude fashion, perhaps not
altogether unskillful. Joined them together.
The finders and exhumers of the skeleton
have about concluded to pool their inter-
ests and sell Ii to a museum. Meanwhile.
the tenants of the farm which 1t was
found-Smhh brothers-have placed it on
exhibition in their woodshed, charging ~
cents admission fee, and 1t Is said that on
Sunday more than 400 persons paid for ad-
mittance.
But mastodons are not found In Indiana
every day. and they have money value
The owner Of the farm has been turning
the matter over In her mind and has con-
Guided that the skeleton belong to her ana
not to the tenants, and has decided to bring
suit for It's possession. This would raise a
nice question of law. Ordinarily the ten.
ant of a farm. without special CONTRACT
providing to the contrary, is only entitled
TO what he may produce from the SOIL IL
il not customary in this state in renting
farms to provide that the tenant shall be
entitled to whatever mastodons he may
find In this case the tenants might claim
that they raised the mastodon, but court
would hardly admit that exhuming skei-
eton from soil where it had been buried for
centuries was raising 1t in the sense of
raising crop OF corn. Yet, SO long as the
skeleton lay buried 1t had no commercial
value. and its unearthing is entirely due to
the tenants.
These are questions of law for the courts
to decide. Other questions beyond the Ju-
risdietion of the courts are, where did the
mastodon come FROM and whittier was 1t
going! What induced 1t to take the future
state of Indiana In It's Journey? How did
IL happen to become mired and buried on
the banks of Barren creek-then perhaps a
vast lagoon of tropical vegetation--and how
many thousands OF years had it lain there
to be finally exhumed by the Smith BROTH
ers and exhibited In their woodshed at 10

are in fncipient stages of development. The
strongest proofs against the contagious
character of the malady that IL is ex-
ceedingly rare to have two children at
tackled in the same family. On the con-
trary, the disease appears to spread more
by jumping, as it were, from one section
of town to the other rather than by fol-
lowing continuous route by direct COM
munication of families.
The most favored theory of infection is
that the specific germ of the disease in
some way or other finds its way into the
noStrilS of the victim and thus through the
absorbents of the nasal membrane directly
to the base of the brain. If this be proven
the strongest possible argument is offered
for reasonable Isolation of the sick one
and the avoidance of all direct contact
with we'll persons. That proper injunctions
in this respect can be easily followed is
shown by the fact that the disease does
not spread in our hospitals and is con-
fined entirely to the particular victims at
tackled.
AS to the general prevention of the dis
ease. the same rules apply to all cpl
denies. The weaker ones are always at
tackled, simply because their powers of
vital resistance are reduced to the mini
mum. This condition also explains the
usual prevalence of the malady in the
spring of the year. when the bodily
strength is debilitated and the prospective
victims are below par.
So far no specific has been discovered
whereby the poison can be neutralizcd.
Hence the physician must be contented to
treat symptoms by allaying pain and IL
possible preventing complications
Lately some benefit has been obtained
by withdrawing the effused fluid by means
of a hypodermic needle from the base OF
the brain. thus relieving pressure and pos
sibly lessening the danger of rapid tox-
aemia. but the general results of such prac-
tice have not been sufficiently gratifying to
make 1t an absolute rule of procedure. The
main hope. after all, rests upon the posi-
bility of the attack being a mild one and
the ultimate result an exceptionally fortu.
nate one.
