MAPLE SYRUP COMPOUND.

Tie usual maple syrup compound is
thrcc-tourths cane sugar and one-fourth
maple, and Is so marked on the label In
making this, as the weight of a gallon
of standard maple syrup is l. pounds. ana
the weight of gallon of water is eight
pounds we would naturally say that not
over -four pounds of sugar can possibly
be absorbed in the making of a gallon
of maple sugar compound. There we
should be wrong. as experiment to con-
firm recipe showed.
The real ingredients are as follows for
the full l. pounds per gallon weight of
standard maple syrup compound
Granulated sugar 6 pounds.

This when done makes one gallon of l.
pounds weight and II seems n mystery
where the bulk shrinks so amazingly by
the melting Of the sugar and combin-
alton with the water. but it does all the
same. 1t takes from seven to eight pounds
of dry sugar to make a gallon of syrup
which weighs 11h to II pounds.

ruRE MAPLE SYRUP OR SUGAR.


It is claimed, and probably with truth
tha! the entire crop of maple sugar is
not sufficient to supply the demands and
hence the prices have a tendency to rise

ed and practically refined maple sugar
which sells in cakes for fancy prices.

Session In Lancaster.

The Pennsylvania Presbytery was or
ganized at the Presbyterian Church in
this city at 7:30 o'clock Tuesday even
ing after a splendid sermon by Rev. J..
Russell Crawford, the retiring Modera-
tor. Rev. ]. @. A, Mcdowell of DAN
vile is presiding over the deliberations
of the body. On Tuesday evening Rev.
George S. Watson of Mt. Vernon was
elected Moderator to succeed Rev.
Crawford, and Rev. Carl T. Michel was
elected Temporary Clerk.
The attendance was unusually small,
Notwithstanding the fact that the terri
tory of the Presbytery is large one,
extending from the far confines of Har
lin and Perry county to the distant
border of Pulaski, but the proceedings
were none the less interesting because
of the small attendance.
On Wednesday evening the audience
were treated to splendid sermon by
Rev. Harry S. Mnrdock of Buckhorn
KY, who took for his Mountain Home
Missions, splendid subject which
was handled in an able manner by Rev.
Murdoch. The assistance of Mrs.
John M. Mounts splendid voice added
very materially to the musical features
of the meeting. as did also Rev. Michel
both of thesesplendid musicians delight

Manner Of Improving The Water Works
Definitely Decided Upon AT Meet
Ing CITY Council.

At an adjourned meeting of the City
Council held on Tuesday night there
being present Councilmen Gregory,
Walter, Herndon and Zanone and
Mayor Logan it was unanimously de-
cided to improve the Water Works
System in the following manner: by
erecting a water tank with capacity
of $50, 900 gallons at some high point
close up in town as near as possible to
the end of the inch main leading
from the pumping station; to build a
modern filter Of sufficient size to as
sure the purity of the water, regard
less of the increase in quantity and to
increase the height of the dam to such
an extent as the funds will permit.
The water works committee was order
ed to at once get into communication
with competent engineers with view
of getting a reliable man to look after
the work in behalf of the city, also it
was ordered that steps be at once
taken to place the bonds.
We do not wish to assume the at
tiude of advising the gentlemen in this
matter, but We would like to suggest
that now they have fully decided what
they intend to do, it would be well to
push the matter along to a rapid com
pletion, as this weather is very suit
able for such work.
