they have but one thought, that OF
gathering the food spread SO lavishly
before them, they are performing the
service Of transferring pollen from the
male to the female flowers, pay
ment required by the tree.
The red maple is distributed In the
Eastern States from Wisconsin and
Nebraska to Texas. 1t is most COM
mon in the Lower Mississippi Valley.
For home sites, 1t does better in the
swampy grounds close to streams. The
tree may grow to be 80 to 100 feet
high, often less. 1t is spreading and
symmetrical with slender, erect
branches. The bark is f1aky and is
formed in dark gray plates. The
branches are paler gray and the
twigs are red. The wood itself Is q
pale brownish red, hard and close
grained. The red-leaf buds. which
appear in March, are blunt and ar
ranged opposite each other on the
twig The flower buds are to be found
in clusters on side spurs.
The leaves appear after the flowers.
They vary in length from 8 to S
inches They have from three to five
triangular lobes and the margins of
the leaves are twice cut-toothed
When young the leaves have downy
lining The stems are long, slender
and red. In the Autumn the tints
are scarlet and crimson.
The fruit is in pairs, with wide
spread wings hung on slender tough
stems. to inches long. The seeds
do not germinate until the following
Spring. Look over the ground close
to the red maple mother, and see her
wee children standing on their heads,
held fast to the earth by their tiny
baby root.
The red maple grows quickly and no
tree is more beautiful for home or
roadside planting. 1t is built to re-
sist the wind. and at all ages, and
the whole year round, it is a very
lovesome tree You can go out in the
early Summer and collect the seeds
and plant them. They will sleep in
the ground until the following Spring.
BY the next Summer you will have a
carpet of tiny red NAPLES and by
Midsummer they will be inches high.
During the Summer months, the
seed babies leave their mother and
take wing on brisk, friendly breeze
Only the red-veined leaves are left
on the tree. and in the Autumn it be-
comes clothed in brilliant raiment
that is a glorious thing to see. For
miles and miles the scarlet robe of the
red maple is seen glowing against
the sky.
This valuable tree supplies the
lumber that is made into gun stocks,
furniture, oars, tool handles and
Voodenware. 1t is used as fuel and
for many other purposes. From this
tree come the beautiful "curly" and
birds eye" in such demand for We
neering bureaus and dressing tables
The birds eye" is the result of q
wound to the bark. An injury to
the bark has the effect Of making
the trunk sprout.
Many small twigs cover large
space. They are crowded close to-
gether and have only enough strength
to keep their terminal buds poked
outside of the bark Each is the
center of series of wood rings that
is revealed after the wood is cut and
polished. The curly grain appears
when the wood hbers are longer and
grow upon each other in ripples.

| Red cabbage needs special treat
ment to keep its color. 1t is intensi-

to be added during cooking. A quar-
ter to half a cupful of vinegar, de-
pending upon its strength, may be
used for every quart of water. or some

are just as satisfactory.

White and Sweet Potatoes.
Before pairing old white potatoes,
when the skins are tough and
wrinkled. put them in cold water for
half an hour before peeling. This
causes them to swell and makes peel
! ing much easier. Potatoes which are
| to be baked may be first boiled in
salted water for 10 minutes, which
saves time. Potatoes boiled in their
| jackets have good flavor if boiled in
water to which half cupful of salt

fry them The fat won't fry them
unless you first dry them. When
baking potatoes make a hole in one
end of the potato and insert a small
slice of bacon, rolled. 1t greatly i'm

When you add cream or milk to

Mashed sweet potatoes form the

methods of serving the sweet potato

Healey of Carmody and Thoms of this city brings the action for the Waterbury concern.
 The complaint sets up the alle- gations that each of the parties own adjoining property on Main street, Torrington, and that the George L. Lilley Company had the right to use a passway between the properties for the last 15 years.
 On November 22, 1893 agents of the defendant bank had posts erected in the passway, across which chains were stretched so as to prevent the tenants of the plain tiff's property from using the pass- way. says the complaint.
 The Waterbury Company asks the superior court for an injunc- ton to stop the blockage of the passway, mandatory injunction removing the chains in the pass way and declaratory judgment fixing the right of way in order that 1t might be used by the plain tiff's tenants.
