with the simplest form Of common
knot, and unless the beast can break
the string or gnaw it in two he will

True Humanity.

GA man must not only be humane
to his wife,-he has gone but little
farther than the brute if he has not
gone farther than that, but he must
be humane to his hired man, his
cows, his dog, and companionable
with his horse. He must recognize
the rights Of the dumb brutes OF the
barnyard, he must recognize the
mighty sweep of that law OF rectl-
tude that includes the very chickens
in his doorway and the squirrels that
play in the tree tops. All religion
and all creeds are good for nothing
unless the golden rule is their active
principle, and 'others' applied to
every living thing"

LABELS VS.. SUGAR
A Topic Of Interest to Makers and
Shippers of Maple Products.

The Evening News has received
the following letter from Addison H,
Williams Of Dorset, which is of in
terest to all sugar makers:
rs there a law that maple syrup
or sugar must be labeled as to their
purity when offered for sale, the
makers name being on the label? l
cannot find any such law in the sup
plement of acts passed by the last
Legislature issued by your paper
Some people here claim that there is
such a law"
The above letter resulted from the
publication a short time ago of an
item stating that the Boston Produce
exchange will this year accept no
maple products unless their purity
is properly vouched for by the maker
anu ShlppeI'
G. II. Grimm Of this city, dealer
in maple sugar making apparatus,
states that there is no law which spe-
cifcally provides that maple goods
must be so labeled. The notice sent
out by the Boston firm is in accord
ance with a Massachusetts law which
imposes a penalty for all goods sold
in Boston not so labeled. The firm
merely does this for its own protec-
ton. The pure food law passed in
Vermont last fall covers maple sugar
as well as other produce, although it
does not specify as to labels.-Rut-
