The State bad 20.000 blanks printed, and Portland firm bnd as many mom Prom one to forty dead porcupines are roprcftMited by each hlank on which a return Is made.

Having heard It rumored that sugnr was made from watermelons In York county, Virginia, the Yorklnwn corre spondent df t'le Richmond Times-Pcm-oiTat made Inquiry Into the industry. "The operations seem to he quite pimple," he willed, "Involving little skill and only a fair amount of horse sense. As a rule, the ripest, sound est and best melons nre selected for this purpose, and nre reduced by ft. very slmplo method. The prima necessities are n large caldron the larger the better and a slow but steady fire. Before Igniting tho furnncn the ket tle is filled with fruit, npeclnl care be ing taken to save all the Juice, so as noc to require tho addition of water to start the boil. Itiglit here Is wnere the radical difference takes plnce. Some folks use the entire melon, properly chopped up; some use tho pulp only, and others nothing but Win rind. A gentle fire soon heats the contents ot the pot to a bulling point, which Is kept up until tho syrup Is gradually pro duced. The longer it Is cooked the thicker, heavier and darker will the result be. "It takes an enormous quantity of melons to produce even a very ordin ary amount of syrup, and when stewed I thick the ratio used is increased per ceptibly. "Just as with other syrups. It Is very ! persistently skimmed, the frothy por tion being either thrown nway or given : tm tho bogs, who are very fond of it. i When conked thoroughly the syrup Is differently colored, as the selection of j the stock may ho very light, like honey, when the whole fruit Is selected, ! and dark, (a rich amber) and decided ly tho best when tlhe pulp alone Is used. "Tho taste Is very rich and sort, free from any foreign taint like maple sy rup, anil leaves a delightful flavor In tho mouth afler tasting. While tiie syrup only Is usually produced, it Is conceded by all who have tried the ex periment that tho rendering of the sugar, is a very simple and easy mat ter, continued boiling and evaporation only being necessary. Taken as a ser ious business proposition, the produc tion of surinr from watermelons Is con sidered a lucrative vocation." . FROM TEXAS. Borne Coffee Facte Fioin the Lone Star State.

VAST LAKE OF ASPHALT VISIT TO THE SOURCE OF MUCH OF OUR STREET PAVEMENT. Queer Mining Carried On In West In dian Island The Lake's Bottom Not Yet Reached A Negro's Experi mentThe Lake Dreary, but a Valuable Asset. We visited Pitch Ijike, one of the natural wonders of the world, but rarely visited and liltlo known, writes Brighton (Trinidad) c-rrespondent of the New York Sun. lis location and surroundings are nut such as to re commend it to the tourist, although Brighton as the crow flies Is but 25 miles from Port of Spain, one of the moet attractive ports of the West In dies. The Trinidad lake of pitch and tho Bermudee lake In Veneeuela supply the bulk of the asphalt of commerce, and since the recent nullification of the Permudes concession by President Castro, backed up by the Venezuelan supreme court, tho Brighton lake has taken on added importance. Brighton has no claim to existence aside from the bituminous pitch that nature here sends bubbling up from tho bowels of the earth. The lake is about a quarter of a mile from the steamship pier. Nearby are qunrters for two hundred workmen, a refining plant, offices and quarters for the half dozen Americans representing the company, and that is all, except for the fierce tropical 'sun eternnlly beat ing down, and the sharks thnt play in the harbor. But as a natural curiosity and as a commercial enterprise tho lake is of absorbing Interest. Imagine a hugo asphalt plar.a of more than a hundred acres, softened by the sun, overgrown In spots with weeds, covered after a rain with pools of water', and you have the famous pitch lake a hip; black scml-solld jHind of nsptmlt, with a Burrace fairly firm and apparently placid, but In reality treacherous and eternally in motion. Around tho edgen runs a tramway wiih an eudless cable hauling tho loaded enrs to the refinery and bring ing the empty ones back nguln. Along this line, wheie tho pllcli is hardest, all the mining ot the product is done the black workmen digging It out with pick nnd shovel. It Is, necessary to Riiift tho scone of operations only along tho line, nev er toward tho center, as In two days time the slowly moving viscous mass of pilch continually flowing from tho center has refilled the excnvntlmis and made them ready for tho work men again. livery day tho rails of tho little tramway are lifted and tho slowly sinking ties moved a few inches ono way or the other In order that the railway may not entirely dis appear in tho bottom Iobs ooze. Bottomless It may well be called, for soundings have been made until with no bottom at 110 foot tho pipes and sounding apparatus have been crushed and swallowed up, to ho dis gorged months later. The mining of tho product is lowering the level of the Inko nt tho rate of about six Inches a year. The center of this hugo volcanic crater Is the source of supply. Here wo see the pitch boiling up In almost a purely liquid state, spreading out over tho lake In dozens of streams, gradually hardening and Impercepti bly flowing toward the boundaries in an attempt to find a level. ICxcept for a space nt tho center, which you might cover with a mackintosh, ono may safely walk over the entire sur face of the lake; and even at tho cen ter, as the superintendent demonstrat ed to us, you may, if you care for thnt sort of thing, run forward, dig out with your fingers a ' handful of tho warm pitch Tor a souvenir and re tire In great haste without sinking more than nnklo deep In the muck. It is horriblo to contemplate the thought of being caught by this aw ful black quicksand and relentlessly entombed in us depths. Not long ago a negro workman heroically offered himself for an experiment designed to ascertain how long it would take for a man to become engulfed In tho pitch. For more than an hour ho slowly sank until only tho upper part of his body remained in sight and then his companions, In a burst of cruel humor, made as if to leave him to his fate. His vociferous appeals for mercy melted their hearts. Planks were thrown out over the pilch, as they are used In -rescuing a skater wuo has broken through the ice, and after an hour's hard work the victim was once more free and happy. The output of tho lake last year was about 140,000 tons. Most of the pro duct is shipped north in a crude state. The cars of pitch are picked up from the cable way as they come from the lake by an overhead trolley line, run to the water front and dump ed into the holds of chartered steam ers. The asphalt hardens in the hold and has to be dug out with picks when the cargo is discharged. A small amount of the product Is refined on the spot by a steam process and ship ped to South American ports, ready for use in paving. The refined prodr ucts represents a loss of 28 percent of the crude, principally water. The lake is a valuahlo source of re venue to the island government An export dufy of $1.25 a ton and a royal ty of 40 cents a ton, by the terms of the concession, put nearly a quarter of a million dollars a year into tho island treasury. The entire conces sion is about 2000 acres, and asphalt Is found throughout the whole local ity. The land is fertile and some of it is now being used with success for the cultivation of fruit Tho New Trinidad Asphalt Com pany, an American concern, controls both this concession and. the rueont ly abrogated Bormudes concession In Venezuela. Tho Trlnldud property has several distinct advantages over the Bermudcs lake. The possibility for exhaustion ol the former seems more remote the Venezuelan hike, nil hough ten times the area, Is but 30 feet deep. Its sur face Is submerged In water, rendering the extraction of tho product more difficult, and a 40 mllo haul to the seacoast adds to tho cost of . placing It on tho mnrket. For tho preparation of paving and roofing materials tho Trlndud variety has been found tho better adapted, but. tho purer Venezuelan artlclo If used largely In tho preparation ol varnish. Danger attends the shipping of the Hermudej! pilch in bulk In the holds of the steamers, as the slight est list to ono sldo or the other tendfl to cause a disastrous flow of tho pitch to that side. Tho Trinidad tnanager.of the asphall company and the clerks In the olllces, all Americans, live In comfortable quartern down on the pier, where cool ing breezes from the Cult of Para drive away the mosquitoes and miti gate tho heat. MAUD MULLER'8 NEW RAKE. Haymaking as Conducted on the Great Ranches of the West. Haying now on the big ranches ol tho west Is a very different proposi tion from what It was In tho day) when Maud Mnller and her wooden inko caught the eyo of tho poet. During most of the summer tho on ly harvesting dono is with I ho teeth of tho grazing cattle, but ihoro nn rives a tlmo when winter feed must bo prepared, nnd then comes tho hay ing crew. Whero circumstances permit linlf a dozen mowers are used, ono behind the other, each drawn by three horses and culling a seven foot swath. Fol lowing these are giant rakes which windrow the grass nnd prepare It for tha slacker. Three great sweeps next como nbing and curry tho hay to tho stack er, sometimes nearly a ton nt a load. The linyawopn nnd tho stacker are two oftho greatest labor saving de vices ever Invented. Tho swoop is u great, strong rake Willi teeth from six to eight foot long carried on low wheels and running nliead of the team. Ily means or It tlm liny Is foil to tho slacker, which does tlio rest. Kveryllilng Is duno ns by clockwork, Tho head mower lays out the land to suit tho slacker, and In Ibis way the en tiro crew is kept busy, the slack ing Ininiedlnlcly following tho cutting. A seven-foot mower with tbreo horses will cut from fifteen to twenty acres a day, and tho wholo hnying out lit will stuck 75 tons In that time. On the larger ranches several of these outfits nro kept going nt the same tlmo for weeks. Contrary to the experlonoo of east ern farmers, bay put up the same day It. is cut does not rot In the stnek. The old Idea of curing bay until dry has been proved wrung by a thousand touts on Nebraska ranches. Tho cur ing it gels In the windrow Is all it needs. It must not be siiposed. however, that the labor saving-machinery hns driven all the Maud. Mullers out of tho hayrnklng business. On many ranches hero In northwest Nebraska Maud Mullers raking hay wilii huge horso rakes or running stackers, put ting up dozens ol tons of hay a day, may bo seen at any time from July until October only they won't give any Judge a dipper full pf water to drink. To stop Tor a moment would delay tho remainder of tho crew, and tho best Maud Mnller can do Is to point to tho jug nnd thus save any vain regrets. New York Sun. CUAINT AND CURIOUS.
