MAPLE SIRUP AND MINCE PIE.
As Touched Upon by Our Supreme
Court.
From the Burlington News.

From the Burlington News.
It has been judicially decided in Massa-
chusetts that a blend of Vermont maple
sirup and granulated sugar is legal
beverage. so to speak. and need not bear
on its label a statement of the proper
tions of each article. The full bench OF
the state supreme court struggled with
the question. The prosecution claimed
that quantity of blended sirup was not
labeled so as to state the percentage OF
the ingredients, as required by the state
pure food law. Therefore a claim or IL
legality in the sale was set up.
The court. through the aid of another
meritorious Vermont product, mince pie,
as an analogy, ruled that the sale was
not of an adulterated article or an imlta-
tion within the meaning of the revised
laws. The substance of the decision was
as follows:
'"The contract in question called for
neither kind of sugar in its pure state, but
for mixture. and this mixture did not
bear the simple name of either kind even
as between the parties. Many an article
composed of two or more ingredients is
sold in the market as unit fooo. \
mince pie is generally understood to be
a mixture of ingredients each OF Wnlcn
may be regarded either as a distinct ar
ticle of food or drink, but no one would
suppose statute applicable to the sale OF
such q pie. The purchaser of the pie is
not thinking of each particular ingredient,
but only of the pie. To him not each
particular ingredient. but the mixture,
the pie as whole. is the unit, the one ar
ficle of food. So In the present case the
unit contracted for was the blended
sugar itself, a well known article in the
trade"
We venture to think. with due humility,
that the court isn't entirely correct on
the pie question. Has no one Of its hon
orable membership ever come across a
mince pie that contained go much brandy
that il not only caused him to think of
a particular ingredient" but also raised
q question in his mind as to whether the
LIQUOR law was being violated?

Sigmund Spaeth, In Harper's Weekly.
Every trace of useful information is
carefully concealed from the very young
child. A rattle, or at most a rubber
doll, is its only plaything. AS it grows
older 1t is very slowly and gradually in
troduced to the various forms of the
animal kingdom. OF the mysteries of
numbers and of language it has as yet
no conception. Its constant questions
are for the most part answered 'humor-
ously'' and hence incorrectly, or they
are not answered at all. This eternal
''humor" is most calling of all. Why
should a human infant be such an ir-
resistible joke? The lower animals take
their young seriously and train them
from the start with very definite pur-
pose in view. Yet their possibilities are
infinitesimal as compared with those of
the average baby. And we sit calmly by
and enjoy the "humor'' of childhood and
insist that the child Is enjoying itself
also. even though its little soul mayzbe
