MAPLE SUGAR A DISAPPEARING
DELICACY.
(From I,eslie's WeoklvI

Maple sugar Is In reality the same as
cane or beet sugar plus a small percen-
tage Of mineral substances and an indie
scribable aroma and delicacy Of taste
So 1t has remained for man to counterfeit
maple sugar, and to attempt to add to
syrups OF ordinary sugars such favors
that the mind OF the epicure breakfasting
off buckweat cakes reverts to the old
sugar camp where he spent the early
spring-time of his boyhood days He
has made many limitations; some Of them
he has even dared to register in the
patent-office as discoveries OF the secret
old Mother Nature told the mapotree.
but none of them, though they may
make good syrup. have made maple syrup
except at tho sugar orchard, of sap
drawn through Spite. caught in n
bucket. and boiled down over fragrant
wood fires.
press these frauds have found that prac-
t!cally all the maple sugar and syrup on
the market is adulterated; that If pure
goods do leave the farm house they are
later so mixed and diluted with cane
sugar that all of the original chara cter
is lost. OF a hundred samples of "maplc
syrup" analyzed by one State chemist
he found but two pure; ninety-cight
were cane-sugar syrups coored with
caramel burnt sugar. and favored
sometimes with small quantities of the
real thing, but usually with n decoction
Of hickory chips or Of corn-cobs.

know how quickly beading wears out.
Another new fancy to be used instead
of beading is working little eyelets
around the top OF tho corset cover or
other garments and running narrow
ribbons through. The woman who docs
not mind work will insert beading
over all seams and little wheels of
lace over the fronts. All garments are
finished with underseams and in many
cases are covered with fne feather
stitching.
The newest thing in corset cover
and one that promises to be perma-
ncnt because the woman who is de-
sirous of a slender figure but must at
tain it by certain illusions known only
to dress makers, finds it boon and
also because 1t is the best garment
under the princess dress. A very
pretty garment of this order is made
with shaped yoke of all-over en-
broidcry showing square neck OPEN
ing edged with lave ruffle. The full
ness at the waist is adjusted by mar
row tucks which widen out into n
wide skirt fastened at the side and
finished on the bottom with ruffles In
set on ribbons and big bow at each
side. Sometimes the skirt is Rored and
made separately from the waist ana
afterwards joined to It by strong
beading run with a ribbon.
The nightgown that seems to he
best liked just at this moment Is very
full In the skirts and Joined to the
round shallow yoke by means of tiny
tucks and the hem at the bottom
should be at least five inches in depth.
The yoke should be of all-over lace
or embroidery the neck drawn in with
a casing and the sleeves of the wing
order finished also with castings run
with ribbons and having - natty little
bow on the shoulders and point Of tho
sleeves.

The outer coat of wheat which is en-
t!rely discarded in making white -four has
a value ard need not he thrown away.
vegetarans cook ii in water in the pro-
portion Of one part bran to six OF water
for a foundation for soups. Some of the
best rolls are made from bran with one
half as much flour; this sort of bread has
the true taste of the wheat and is much
used by invalids. Some restaurants make
a speciality Of bran biscuits which are
much appreciated by the patrons. One Of
the odd uses OF bran is FOR cleaning paint.
A cloth wrung out OF warm water IS
dipped into the bran and rubbed directly
on the paint cleaning It without scratch
ing and Just az we'll as with some patent
ed cleaning powder. Strained bran tea is
good for giving stiffness to dark muslin.
1t will make the cloth like new without
showing like white starch. Bran sewed
into little cheese cloth bags is excellent
