Decoctions or extract of the wood or

flavoring wraps or sugars. Different
extracts differ in taste. Tho hickory
tree, it is said, yields an extract that will
impart tho flavor of tho maplo, and
Daily's method of producing artificial
maplo sirup of sugar is as follows:
Mal:o an extract of hickory bark or
wood by allowing wnter to percolate
through the same. Tho bark or wood
may bo ground, or sawdust therefrom

material boiled in water. Tho strength
of tho extract may bo increased by in
creaso of the quantity of the wood or

tho effect of the extract is to produce a
flavor that renders tho sirup indistin

loverty nnd Clothes.
One marked difference betweon tho
very poor in the English cities and tho
corresponding class In American towns
is that the latter bny their clothing of
tailors and mannfactnrers, and therefore
get it new, while the English poor, and
particularly the English women of low
estate, prefer the castoff finery of "tho
qnality" that is sold at tho secondhand
shops.. The result is that the American
laborer and his wifo make a better ap
pearance in their -cheap but simple and
euitablo garments than tho London nav
vy or hawker, with a shiny, ill fitting
broadcloth, nnd his wife in a garish hat
with broken feathers and unfashionnblo,

The Confirmation of Eckrl.
Tho confirmation of Mr. Eckels as
comptroller of tho currency is a victory
for Mr. Clevi 'nnd, who played a high
gamo ar.d won. It is now known that it
caused no little feeling on tho part of
Secretary Carlisle, who did not think
that Eckels vns a fit man for tho post
and s.iid so. Nevertheless ho would not
nntftgonize the president in tho question
of confirmation. Persons who well
know tho iV.tiingH of the president say he
ii gr"r'.ly I'-.ici-urMged ns to tho future,
including the senate's reputed hostility
on Iho silver question.
Tho line of battle against the president
was formed, mid word sent that if he
would save himself from defeat, he should
withdraw Eckels' name. To which he
is said to have replied, in substance, that
if senators chose they might reji.i't the
nomination, and he would see them later.
This had the effect of producing a sober
second thought, and Eckels was con
firmed. Persons who know tho new
comptroller say he will astonish Wall
street and other financial centers before
ho has been long in office. Washington

He Kw-lndlra tho American.
Evidence of tho extent to which Wil
liam Lord Mooro carries on his next of
kin swindlo in America continues to
reach mo from time to time. One of tho
latest cases to lu itd is from a gentleman
in Texas, who fortunately saw my wurn
ing in time to provont him being duped
into paying tho "tax on legacies und be
quests" mentioned in the bogus decree
of tho supremo court of chancery with
which thisindomitable rogue had favored
him.
Really I think tliat it is time for the
police of some nationality to nttompt to
deal with tho swindler, and, bo far ns I
can see, the American police have the
first claim niion Ins liberty, for it is evi
dent from tho correspondence in my pos
session that this latter victim tell into
Moore's hands through an advertisement
of a New York claim agency. William
Lord Moore is well known at Scotland

The confectioners have been revenging

tho oustom of the majority of girls who
enter to buy five cents' worth of candy
to eat from tho trays about as much

Vienna' Tt.-tehelor Clnb,
Our Vienna correspondent is nblo to
contradict a luissleading report. It has
boon said tlmt n club of men of position
has been formed in that city for tho as
sistance of young women of humblo sta
tion who may aspiro to marriago with
them. A new club has indeed como into
toing, but it is of quite another sort. It
l.i a club of professed bachelors ft cell
bato order of dandies. It derives its
origin no doubt from a well known Lon
don institution which bears the same
name. But our Bachelors' club binds its
members ly no self denying ordinance
in regard to tho future, and we believe
it demands not moro than that candi
dates shall hnvo been single at ono time
in thoir lives. That might bo tolerated
as ft passing condition, but it is a very
different thing to shut the door to re
pentance forever.
The Viennese women are justly in
censed, and some threaten to retaliate by
forming another society pledged to a
stern refusal of all offers from tho Bach
elors' club. This implies tho belief that
tho bachelors cannot possibly keep thoir
vows, and it proves to bo in singular har
mony with experience. They havo broken
them by anticipation. An indignant wo
man has openly charged tho president
with frequent promises of mnrriago to
herself and has demanded his deposition.
In all probability tho institution will
havo to chango its titlo and become the

Pern Make Reparation.
Secretary Gresham has been fortunate
enough to scoro a success within tho first
six weeks of his servico nt the head of
the department of state.
Pent has promised full reparation for
tho recent attnek upon our consular
agency nt Mollendo, nnd as an earnest of
her pnrposo has already removed from
' offico the subprefect of tho department
in which tho assault occurred. Minister
Hicks, in reporting tho affair, spoko of
tho person who had been wounded as on
acting consular agent, nnd since Mr.
Griffith is our accredited representative
at Mollendo a nntivo of Pern mny have
been in temporary chargo of tho con
sulate during tho outhrenk of mob vio
lence. But Mr. Gvesham's demand for
reparation wan based on tho offense com
mitted against tho government ns well
as on the injury to porson and property
Prompt as that demand was, tho re
sponse of Pern has been equally quick
and unequivocal. She has expressed her
regret for the occurrence, so that the
apology duo to tho government is prac
tically comploto, nnd tho proper amount
of indemnity can easily be settled. Thl
little incident, sprung upon tho new state
department and rapidly disposed of, may
have on indirect influence much beyond
its intrinsic importance ns a practical
experience of tho valun of courteous
frankness and vigor in dealing with for
eign Dations. New York Sun.
Maronlo tnnuranoe.
The marina insurance companies on
this side of the Atlantic have given np
all hope of the Naronic, and the New
York Mutual nnd the Atlantic Mutual
Insurance companies have liegnn to pay
off their policies on the Naronic's cargo.
"Law and custom do not compel us
to pay until after a year and a day," said
the president of the Now York Mutual
Insurance company, "but wo are satis
fied that the Ntvonic is lost. The rule
on this side that marine insurance com
panies should not pay for losses until
the lapse of a year and. a day sprang in
to existence in tho days when there

"Praying t'p tho ".topn,"
The Catholics of Cincinnati gnvo a ro
tnarkablo demonstration of the faith
that is in thorn when they "prayed up
tho stops" on Mount Adams. This pe
culiur custom has been in voguo for
about 80 years, nnd tho Church of the
Holy Cross, standing on tho brow of the
cliff on Mount Adams, has become cele
brated far and near for the miracles per
formed thero. Fully 10,000 men and
women "prayed up the steps" on Good
Friday. There are 207 of the steps in
aTt and about 85 landings. The pilgrims
who visit tho chapel must remain silent
for three hours.
Tho pilgrim upon reaching the stairs
on Third street repeats a "Hail, Mary."
Stepping upon the first step, she pause
and repeats the prayer. That done, she
steps up one nnd silently repeats "Hail,
Mnry," nnd thus step by step she prays
to tho top, pausing on the platform to
repeat tho Lord's Prayer. All this time
she keeps in mind a certain wish she
hopes to havo accomplished within the
year. Arriving at the church, the bare
footed monks bless them, nnd they go
about their business.
One of tho fair penitents said most oi
tho young ladies pray for husbands. The
married women pray for their wayward
children. Those having sick friends pray
for their recovery. It is said cases of
rheumatism hnvo been cured by the
patients "praying np the steps." Every
Good Friday tho steps aro blocked with
penitents from noon to dark. Cor. St.

Comment on Political News.
It is with extreme regret that the men
who are urgent for tho reform of the
civil service read of the wholesale re
movals of fourth class postmasters which
aro being mndo by the ready ftx of
Headsman Maxwell. The feeling is just
ns strong aguinst this vicious practice as
it was agninst the same policy under
Clarkson, and prominent men who sup
ported Cleveland have no more chnrity
for the evil under a Democratic than un
der a Republican administration. In
fnet, tho assurances which have been
given of tho purposo to extend tha civil
servico rules and to follow the spirit of
the civil servico law makes bucIi doings
ns Maxwell's all tho moro exasperating.
Ono of tho active Mugwumps of tho
campaign of 1HS4, who has supported
Cleveland ver since, speaking today of
Maxwell's policy, said that "he ought to
bo snaked out of his office." It is already
proposed to enter a formnl and vigorous
public protect against this policy of re
moval for isilitiral reasons, nnd unless
there in a change the administration will
lose rapidly in tho good will which it
evoked when it was said that the claims
of offico hunters would not be suffered
to interfere with tho public business.

A Ueprehenslhlo Practice.
Nepotism Is bad enough, but thoro is a
practice that 1ms worked its way into the
government which is worse. It is nepo
tism in its most rcprchcusiblo form. It
is tho practice of senators, representa
tives, cabinet officials and government
offieials in general of fastening their rel
atives upon tho public treasury. An ex
ample 1b tho United States senator whose
wife's mother, sisters and a lot of cous
ins aro nil in tho departments. There
are several similar cases, besides cases
of congressmen who havo thrust their
relatives into tho public service in a vari
ety of ways.
Cabinet officers have their sons thus
fastened upon tho treasury. It is bad
enough for senntors to make their rel
atives clerks to senate committees uud
otherwise provido for them in document
rooms nud other places, whore they will
be remembered in at least ono of the
numerous appropriations ut the closo of
the session, but tho practice of coloniz
ing them in the departments is the worst
kind of nepotism. Washington Letter.
i'ubllo Dinners Are Too Merlons.
Dinners are much too serious, particu

the week ending March 18, two men
dropped doad at publiu dinners. Ono
fif tho feasts thus visited was a Tam
many club dinner on St. Patrick's day,
and the fatal visitation did not come
until 4 o'clock in tho morning. ' That
case may have been simply one of ex
hausted nature, but about the other
there was something almost suggestive
of a judgment, for it happened at the
annual supper of a Women's Christian
Temporanco union, and the brother who
fell wus a Presbyterian clergyman who
had just arisen to respond to the toast,

would surprise her with one of these
free trips. They began buying the ''
newspaper coupons and sending them in
to be credited to her.
Somo indiscreet friend let her know
what was going on. As her friends were
spending so much money for her benefit
sho felt bound in honor to assist. In the
end her $75 wont into the pool, nnd in
tho total over $100 were spent, but this
sum was not quito enough. The free
trip went to 'somebody who had 20,600 .
