THE MAPLE SUGAR CAMP.
BY ACT RANDOLPH.
DIAMOND, Jack? A
real diamond 1 Ob,
how bright it is like
a spark of white fire 1
Like a star, dropped
down out of the sky I
I never taw a dia
mond before ; and to
think that it is mine t
4asf Dear J a e k, I
,55:-ir eouldn t possib 1 y
Jij-f isszz love you any more
than I did before,
but I do love you, oh, so much !"
The little bit of love making took
place under the frost bonnd apple
trees of the Back Orchard, wiiere
Esther Elm ford was standing, with a
white woolen hood wrapped tightly
over her curls and a blnck-and-soarlet
plaid shawl enfolding her, mummy
fashion. She was a tall, rosy-cheeked
girl, with a complexion born of moun
tain breezes and eyes that shone with
ruddy health no ideal sylph, but
rather a rosy, wholesome, dimpled
human girl like Wordsworth's hero
ine "Not to sweet or good
For human nature's dally food."
And as Bhe looked at the tiny, glitter
ing stone, the sparkles under her eye
lashes were a dead match for it.
"But you must not wear it every
day, Essie, you know," Baid John Jef
ferson. "Why not?" Her countenance
fell.
"You wanted onr engagement kept
a secret," you know."
"Sol did. Anything but the gos
sip of tho whole combined neighbor
hood !" cried Esther, with a moue of
distaste, Well, anyhow, I can put a
black velvet ribbon through, it and
hang it around my neok I"
"But you haven't paid me for it
yet."
"Paid you, you mercenary fellow!"
"One kiss, Essie! I don't often get
a chance to claim it, you know."
She poised herself on tiptoe to ac
cord the demanded royalty, and then
ran, laughing, away toward her home.
"How generous he is 1 Bhe kept re
peating to herelf. "A real diamond!"
When she got back to the kitchen
of the roomy old farmhouse, where
Mrs. Elmford was frying crullers in an
atmosphere of fragrant blue smoke,
that lady cast a discontented glance at
her.
"Seems to mo you've been a long
time gettin' that spotted calf into the
barnyard," said she.
"Was I long, mother? But he got
clear down the lane, and the orchard
gate was open," equivocated Miss
Esther.
"The Striker gals stopped here for
you. They was goin' up to the Ma
ple Sugar Camp with a lot o' fresh
baked bread and pies for Tom and
Leonidas, and they waited for you till
they -was clear out o' patieuce," added
Mrs. Elmford, fishing another tin
skimmer full of crisp brown beauties
out of the bubbling msss of fat and
landing them in the blue stone jar,
afterward to be liberally sprinkled
with white sugar.
"Oh, mother, can I go?" said Esth
er, eagerly. "I'm sure I could over
take them in five minutes."
"I've no objection," said Mrs. Elm
ford." And you might take a basket of
these 'ere orulls to your Uncle Peter.
He's dreadful partial to fried cakes,
and he thinks there are ain't none like
them I make arter Mother Elmford's
receipt."
Esther was right. In less than the
specified five minutes she had man
aged to overtake Alioe and Jessamine
(Striker, with their baskets of fresh
provisions to the dwellers in Maple
Sugar Camp, on Uiant Hill, where the
supreme process of "sugaring off" was
jubt then in full blast. But in the
two minutes during which she put on
her fur-bordered hood and tleecu
lined mittens upstairs, she had slyly
slipped tho diamond ring on the first
finger of her left hand.
"I shall be wearing it," he-id-4o
herself, "and no one be any the wiser."
The Striker girls welcomed her joy
ously. "It's so nioe to have yon," said
Alice. 'Jessamine declared you would
not go, bnt "
"Why shouldn't 1 go?" said Esther.
"Don't I go np every year when they
are sugaring off?"
Jessamine Striker began to giggle.
"Yes," said she, "but our Leonidas
has never been there until this season,
and Mr. Jefferson has never been so
particular in his attentions to you be
fore." Esther crimsoned to the roots of
her hair.
"What ridiculous nonsense!" said
she.
"Oh, is it, though?" retorted Jessa
mine. "When all the -world knows
that Jack Jefferson is as jealous as
Othello."
Esther walked on, with silent dig
nity. In her secret heart sho was be
ginning to regret that she had put her
self ont to accompany these silly girls.
"Don't mind Jess, dear," said good
humored Alice Striker, slipping her
hand through Esther's arm. "She
will giggle at everything it's her na
ture. Isn't this a charming morning?
I heard a blue-bird in the swamp down
by the rfver, and there's a lot of yel
low jonquils in bloom in Anne Rebec
ca's window-box. The snow is thaw
ing in the sunshine, but the walking
is good yet, and Leon says the maple
trees have never given a better yield."
Up at the sugar camp, all was life
and animation. Blue threads of
smoke wound upward to the sky from
the chimneys of the two or three board
shanties, thatched with strips of bark
and trusses of straw, where tbe
"hands" kept house in a gypsy fash
ion. The great kettles where the
sirup was boiling down to the requisite
solidity were watched by select de
putations, lest the fires should slacken
or the saccharine masses scorch, while
others were attending to the im
promptu stone chimney in the open
air, while the carcass of a wild turkey
was whirling around and around in
front of the blaze, impelled by a most
ingenious rotary spit, and a nest of
potatoes Was baking in the" hot ashes
below. The girls were joyfully wel
comed. Unole Peter chuckled aloud
at the sight of the cruliers made after
his mother's time-honored recipe. The
two young Strikers extended a hospi
table invitation to their meal, even
now in process of preparation.
"Leon shot the turkey yesterday by
Lone Lake," Baid Tom. "And it's a
prime one, you bet. Rather nicer
than the salt cod-fish we had reckoned
on."
But Esther declined to say.
"I'll just take a look at the sugar
kettles," said she, "and then hurry
back to mother. We're going to have
the parson's folks to tea, and there's
a deal to do."
Leonidas Striker escorted her to
the largest kettlo of all, ordin. rily
called "Big Ben," and gave her the
monster stick to stir the bubbling
waves of sweetness.
"There," said be, "you can say
you've helped to sugar off this year.
Isn't it a splendid yield? And maple
sugar's going to be high this season !
Oh, you'd better stay, Esther, there's
a lot of young folks coming up this
afternoon, and Darky Jones is to be
here with his fiddle 1"
"Ob, I oouldn't, possibly 1" Baid
Esther. In truth and in fact she had
not been quite at her ease since Jessa
mine's unlucky allusion to Othello in
conjunction with Mr. Jefferson ; and
she did not breathe freely again nntil
she had reached home, where her
mother was just clearing away the
dinner dishes.
"Has any one been here?" said
she.
"Who should be here?" counter
questioned Mrs. Elmford. "I don't
expect Elder Morris's folks until four
o'clock. "
As Esther took off her things in the
little chamber upstairs, where the
shingled roof sloped down to the
eaves, she glanced down at the en
gagement finger. Terror of terrors,
the sparkling little ring was gone!
.
It was past four o'clock. Mrs.
Morris was droning away iu the sitting-room
about the last 'missionary
box which had been sent out to the
Hougara Indian Reservation ; Miss
Adelgitha Morris was admiring her
hostess's most recent crazy patchwork ;
the two little Morrises were playing
checkers, and the good elder himself
was laying down tomes of theological
law to Farmer Elmford ; while Esther,
with tear-swollen eyes, was mixing a
batch of biscuits for tea in the
kitchen. All of a sudden she caught
sight of Johu Jefferson riding past on
his gray pony, with averted face. In
an instant she caught down the shawl
that hung on the peg back of the
buttery door, aud mullling it around
her head and shoulders, darted across
the snowy back-yard where she could
intercept her lover at the curve of the
road.
"Jack ! Jack 1" she cried, piteously.
"I've lost it! Your ring! Oh, Jack,
do say something to comfort me ! I
am so unhappy. "
Mr. Jefferson drew up his steed and
faced Esther with a scornful light iu
his eyes which she had never seen be
fore. "Yes," said he, calmly; "I knew
you had lost it. I know how you lost
it. I know to whom you have given
it."
Essie stood dumb before the cruel
emphasis of his words.
"I was at tho Sugar Camp an hour
ago," said he. "Homo one told ine
you had gone there, and I was going
to bring you home. Aud I saw your
ring on Leonidas Striker's watch guard.
Wasn't that rather soon to transfer
your last lover's gift to your old swain?
Would it not have beeu better taste of
him to display your pledge a little
less JVUblicly ?"
"Jnck, Jack I" pleaded Essie, hold
ing up her hands, as if every word
were a blow.
"I need detain yon no longer," he
said, as he bowed frigidly and touched
the neck of his horse with his whip
lash, and the next minute he was gone.
Poor Essie dragged herself back to
the house, the tears freezing on her
cheek and her heart colder Btill. Was
she the victim of enchantment? What
did all this mean?
Tea was over at least, but Esther
Elmford did not know whether she
had eaten hot biscuit or cold, hasty'
pudding. She had listened, with a
vague, unmeaning smile, to Mrs. Mor
ris's prolonged account of little
Tommy's last siege of diphtheria and
Miss Adelgitha's proposed visit to New
York. It was almost as if brain and
nerve were benumbed, when Jessa
mine Striker's clear, sweet voice struck
across the current of her hopeless
apathy and she found herself in a con
fidential corner of the best bedroom
upstairs, with Jessamine eagerly har
anguing her.
"Tho strangest thing!" cried Jessa
mine. "He found it in the maple
sugar kettle. Alice bad made some
flannel cakes, and he dipped out a
dipperful of the hot sirup for ns to
eat with it, and Leon came within one
of swallowing tbe ring. 'Whose is
it?' said he. 'Why, Essie Elmford's,
of course,' said I. 'Didn't I see the
sparkle of it when she took off her
mitten to unfasten the lid of the bas
ket that held Uncle Peter's crullers?
And it must have slipped oft her
finger,' said he, 'when she went to stir
the sugar in the kettle.' So he hung
it on his watch-chain for safekeeping
until we came home, and here it is."
Esther murmured a word or two of
thanks.
"I was very careless," said she.
But even after Jessamine was gone,
she sat staring at the pretty trinket
which had so nearly been bailed down
into maple sugar. What was the nse
of it now? What was the use of any
thing?" .
"Esther! Esther!" her father
called up the narrow wooden stairway.
"Here's Mr. Jefferson wants to speak
to you !
How strangely all these thing
seemed to euoceed one another, like
tbe dull lapses of a dream. She knew
not how, but she was standing, with
Jack's arm around her, her troubled
eyes looking np into his.
"My own darling," he whispered,
"can you ever forgive me for being
such a brute? I have just seen that
Striker fellow. He's not such a bad
lot, after all, and everything is ex
plained. Sweetheart, say that you
forgive me ! I never shall forgive
myself."
And all the horrid nightmare feel
ing was over, and the engagement was
a secret no longer, and poor little
Esther Elmford was happy again.
"But I don't think,"said she, "that
I shall ever want to taste maple sugar
again. Not just yet, at all events 1"

A Smokeless Locomotive.
Recently in Austria a most success
ful and satisfactory trial was made of
a smoke-consuming apparatus to loco
motives and doubtless suitable for all
other steam engines. A number of
practical and scientific guests made
the trip between Vienna and Zaaim, a
distance of about sixty-two miles, be
hind an absolutely smokeless locomo
tive. Open cars were used and even
at a speed of over forty-five miles per
hour, nothing but clear-water steam
was emitted, and no smoke, sparks or
cinders, and even the gue6ts riding on
the locomotive, found at the end of
the journey that their coats, linen and
hands were as clean as when they
started. This apparatus is an auto
matic device, attached to the outside
of the boiler, which supplies the fire
with just enough air to consume the
smoke and gas. Over the fire a steam
veil whirls and mixes the air aud gas,
and this burned gas is forced agaiust
the boiler and every partible of heat
is utilized. It is claimed that a sav
ing of from ten to twenty-five per
cent, is effected iu heat-giving ma
terial. This device has been in con
stant use for over two years and has
been found entirely satisfactory. The
invention is astonishingly simple iu
construction and operation and soon
saves its cost. A special advantage of
the apparatus is that it can be readily
attached to any locomotive or station
ary boiler without the slightest alter
ation of the general system used in
either. Atlanta Constitution.

To Get Rid ot Piles.
Flies are the pest and worry of all
tidy housekeepers, and how to rid a
room ot them is an unsolved problem
to many. This is quite easily accom
plished by taking advantage of the
ilies' habit ot flying to the window or
place from which light is admitted,
and to aooomplish this, darken all the
windows with a heavy shade, or any
material, cutting a hole in one of the
shades, over which is firmly pinned a
sheet of the common transparent fly
paper, and, if possible, have this
located at one of the east, south or
west windows, from which the most
light may be obtained. It will be but
a short time ere the flies in the room
will be sticking to this paper in their
effort to be noar the light. This is
far easier and more cleanly than plac
ing paper about the room for them to
aooidontly light upon, or killing them
with poisoned liquid or pyrethrum

SUNSTROKE AND DROWNING
INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED BT THE
NEW TORI BOARD OF HEALTH.
What to Do Wlin People are Over
come by Heat- Reviving Persons
Kesrued From the Water.
THE following instructions for
the treatment of persons who
have received a sunstroke, or
(, who have beeu taken from the
water in a drowning condition, are
issued by the New York Board of
Health, and as they are appropriate to
any locality we publish them in full:
SUNSTROKE.
Any one overcome by the heat
should be immediately removed to the
nearest shade, and the collar of shirt
or dress should bo loosened. Seud
immediately for the nearest physician,
and give the person cool drinks of
water, black tea or cofiee, if able to
swallow.
If the skin is hot and dry, place the
person in a sitting position against a
tree, wall, or anything that will be a
support to the back ; sponge with or
pour cold water over the body and
limbs, and apply to the head pounded
ice wrapped in a towel or other cloth.
If there is no ice at hand, keep a cold
cloth on the head, and pour cold water
on it as well as on the body.
If the person iB pale, very faint and
pnlso-ieeble, lay him on the back, let
him inhale ammonia for a few seconds,
or give him a teaspoonfnl of aromatic
spirits of ammonia or tincture of gin
ger in two tahlespoonfuls of water.
Use no cold water upon the head or
body, but rub the hands and feet and
apply warm applications to the same
until the circulation is restored.

expands the chest and allows the air
to enter the lungs) ; then slowly move
them downward, bending them so that
the elbows will come to the sides aud
the hands cross on the pit of the
stomach, and press them gently but
strongly against the sides and chest
(this forces the air out of the lungs).
Continue these two movements (which
produce artificial breathing) very de
liberately about ten or twelve times in
a minute, and without ceasing, until
the patient breathes naturally, or un
til satisfied that life is extinct.
While this is being done a little
friction on the chest may be produced
by rubbing gently with warm flannel,
and the body may be stripped and
wrapped in dry blankets,
Alter natural breathing begins, con
tinue very gently, for a few minutes,
the two movements which produced
artificial breathing.
After natural breathing is fully re
stored, give the patient a teaspoonfnl
of brandy, hot sling or tea, two oi
three times a minute, until tbe beat
ing of the pulse can be felt at the wrist.
Rub the arms and legs upward, aud
the feet and hands with warm or dry
flannel.
Apply hot cloths to the body, legs
and arms, and bottles of hot water to
the feet.
CAUTION.
1. Do not be discouraged if anima
tion does not return in a tew minutes.
'The patient sometimes recovers after
hours of labor.
2. Do not allow the tongue to fall
back and close the windpipe while the
arms are being worked.
3. Do not rub the legs and arms un
til natural breathing is restored.
4. Do not put any liquid in the
mouth uutil natural breathing is fully
restored.
5. Do not roll the body nor handle

Something Curious.
By a very simple rule the duration
of night and day can be determined
at any time oi the year. All you
have to do is to multiply the time of
the sun's rising by two an 1 it will
give you the length of the night.
Multiply the time of setting by two
aud you get the length of tho day.
It is easily demonstrate 1 at the time
of the year when the sun rises and
sets at i o'clock and day and night
are of equal duration. It is just as
true as the days lengthen ami shorten.
Thus, as winter approaches, take a
day wheu the sun rises at 6.30 aud
sets at 5.30. Apply the rule aud you
have a night of thirteen hours and a
day of eleveu hours. This rule will
be fouud absolutely accurate at any
season of the year. Atlanta Journal.

To keep from writing so t
And every poet, young or gray,
His tribute fondly bears,
To him who wrote about the way
