MAPLE SUGAR MAKING. sis still camp> th ttxc shivering Where the eager, early alders loose’ll #st their kercmefed curls, ' By the dlstantiniMet ranks of the dripping maple bounded; Hither, tn the April weather, come the country boys and girls.

With the scarlet maple blossoms whirling in the pool below.

Mr. Pompous had served his country in the capacity of member of Parliament for nearly twenty years without making the least mark as a politician. His name was only familiar to the general public from its being occa- . sionally found in the division lists, and, except to his own constituents, his views were only vaguely known. It is true that he once enjoyed a meteor-like flash of notoriety from having uttered a realistic imitation of the bray of a jackass during an exciting debate, but the glory which he gained from this achievement was but evanescent! * In his own opinion, however; he was a most important element in the British constitution, and his shining forehead, his grave demeanor, his portly frame and his consequential air were calculated to convey the same impression to the occupants of the stranger’s gallery. When the troubles in Ireland culminated in political' assassinations, Mr. Pompous, M. P., began to feel a little apprehensive about his personal safety. He was quite aware that he hail done nothing to incur the odium of secret organizations as regarded his share in the debates on Irish affairs. But he conceived it to be extremely probable thjt a plot existed to cause a panic in the House by striking down its most influential members, and he was of the opinion tliat he came under this category. His fear at length began to prey upon his mind to such an extent that he applied to the police authorities to grant him special protection. At Scotland Yard, however, his apprehensions Were considered to be quite unfounded,

aud his request received so little attention that he felt he could not press it. He was still unconvinced, however, and whenever he vent down to the House he always kept very much on the alert. One afternoon, while ho was walking aldng Parliament street, a young man hurried past him in rather a marked manner, and looked him in the face with a keen, scrutinizing gaze. Something desperate and lawless in the fellow’s appearance at once attracted Mr. Pompous’ attention, and the incident caused him a good deal _of uneasiness. The young man dropped behind him, and, glancing over his shoulder as he reached Palace yard, Mr. Pompous perceived that the stranger was dogging his footsteps. He immediately placed himself under the protection of the nearest policeman, and the man who had followed him suddenly disappeared in the crowd. MY. Pompons was very much npeet for the rest of the day, and instinctively felt that he had had a narrow escape. He therefore applied again for police protection, and this time it was at once giwited. In fact, the authorities seemed to feel that they ought not to have disregarded his previous warning, for they never permitted him to walk abroad again without quite a body guard of de-' tectivcs. Not only did one follow at his ' heels, but another walked on ahead, while a third kept watch and ward from the outer side of the way. Even when he drove out in his carriage a man Milowed him in a hansom cab, and he was never permitted to ventyre out alpne. Mr. Ponqiofls wns a little startled by these precautions at first, but he soon got used’to them—in fact, he, quite enjoyed the sensation of being as closely attended as a crowned head, for it si mnsd to him to bf q prpper tribute to. his iinpurtsuw.*. The only drawback — apart from the uncomfortable feeling that he carried his life in his hand — was that he was not permitted to turn the circumstance to account by talking openly of his body-guard to his friends ’> and Mquaintanoes. -have liked also to unpredß upon Iris constihb--ents ’the life ’of danger which he was living on their behalf. Unfortunately, however, the police particularly requested and enjoined him for his own sake to keep secret the fact that he was guarded by detectives. Inspector , llowie. who impressed this warning (tpoujiim, Mite-1 ratlie r ommhusly that his jiersonal safety lay as much in his identity being concealed from the general public ns in the precautions that were taken to protect him. If it were

known that he went about accompanied

by detectives, people would begin to tool <>ut foil nun in tlir 'ftreus his face ana figure toeulg become fatiilinr to'evgyy passer-by. Th* disadvantage of such publicity to a person whose Ide was menaced was perfectly obvious, and Mr. Pompous at onoe sgwthe force of the objection. He therefore, for h:s on n sake, kept as quiet as poa-qllio, though the necw sity for doing *o’vexed lim vers- much. He ba I the satisfaction of knowing, however, that the stateof siege in which he lived was a fruitful subject of speculation among his brother memliers, who' affected to lie quite at a loss to understand why these elaltonrie precautions s should fw taken to nrotoet the member for MuddilkgtO’j. Mr. Pompous maintained a discreet reserve when quesf tioned on the subject, but the real truth was that he wxs Mru-clf quite at a loss to allege any specific reason. For his own part he needed none, feeling that the fact of his being Mr. Pofnpous, i M. P.. quite explained the situation. ' But. of course, he could not very well convey this to persons who, from envious motives,. were air edr inclined to deride Mwf. Me >spplf<*Hhuore than ones for more detailed, information to Inspector Rowle, to whose cere he had i opamnt!yl>eeh confided by the autlto ities; but the officer never gratified liis natural curiosity. The Inspector was a very reserved little man, and evidently knew his business, so Mr. Pompous did not like tv press him too much. One evening Mr Rowle'inquired of Mr. Pompous if he had not 1 en con . templating paying a visit to Lisbon , stituents. “Certainly. That is. if I can do so in ( comparative safety,” said the protected . member, delighted at the pro-pect of J appearing at Muddington with his escort. “Well, sir, I think it might he m.jn- j aged during the next few divs.” j--. • turned Inspector Rowle. caut:ou~ v “Os course, my men mast go with vox’ “Oh.' of oenr.-e. lirf gdte j l ands.

"Well, sir, I think we had better say the Great Western,* from Paddington, this tir^e," returned the Inspector. \ “Quifrr.se— a precaution, ” said Mr. Pompous. ’ •‘Sr suppose,” he added, hesitatingly, “there is no clianch of the train being thrown off the line, eh? Every precaution will be taken,, qf cours#?” morrow evening, sir?” inquired' the I ispector. “Yes. I suppose you will arrange about trains and so on,” said Mr. Pompous. ! “Yes, sir. I was thinking—what line do you usually travel by, sir ?’’ “The South-Western, from Waterloo.” “Yes, sir, yon may .rely upon” that,” replied the detective, dryly. “I will see about the trains, sir, and. let you know the hour.” Mr. Pompous looked forward to his expedition with pleasurable anticipation. In a quiet place like Muddington there could be no real danger of assassination, especially if he were accompanied by an escort. He was a little nervo ’s about the journey, but this unpleasant aspect faded away when he thought of the sensation his arrival under such circumstances would cause among his constitn f nts. It would bq impossible to conceal from them that be was under police surveillance, and, in fact, Mr. Pompous resolved to taka his leading constituents into his confidence at all hazards, for the sake of the moral effect. He rehearsed a speech which should contain covert, though telling, allusiohs to his being the object of an assassination plot, and confidently relied upon ; creating the greatest enthusiasm and excitement. His fears came uppermost, however, when he started on the journey, especially as Inspector Rowle was more mysterious than ever, and begged to be allowed to take his seat in the carriage with him. Mrs Pompom was not a .little startled at this requeSt, ‘Which he readily complied with, as it seemed evident that some special danger was apprehended. During the drive to thestation, Mr. Rowle peered constantly out of the window in a very vigilant manner, and as they approached the neighborhood of Paddington he said suddenly to Mr. Pompous: “Will you kindly oblige me by leaning well forward now, sir?” Mr. Pompons, being startled, mechanically did so, when it suddenly occurred to him that his features must be distinctly visible, owing to a glare of which they were just passing. Ho therefore fell hastily back into t|e reqeftses of the/carriage, exclaiming: “Good gracious, man! Why, I shall bo recognized!”. , • “No, you won’t,‘sir. Will you kindly lean forward again now, sir?” he added, with soqift excitement. “Certainly not. Why, it would be suicidal!” cried Mr. Pompous, indignantly. “For heaVen’s sake, sir, do as I ask yon!” exclaimed the detective, with suppressed excitement. “Everything may be lost by your hiding yourself.” “Are you mad?” roared Mr. Pompous. “No, sir. Perhaps I ought to explain," said Inspector Rowle, hurriedly. “The fact is you were never in the slightest danger yourself—at least you would not have been if your name had been known to certain parties. The truth is you have been mistaken for the Right Honorable Mr. Blank,” he added, naming a prominent member of the Cabinet. “Is—is that the reason I been guarded?" inquired Mr. Pompous, ' taken aback. “Yes, sir. 'When we found out the mistake, we dpi our best to keep up the, delusion, and I venture to think we’ve been tolerably successful,” said the detective, in a complacent toife.

“Why did you keep up the delusion?" demanded Mr. Pompous, with a sudden access of rage. “Well, sir, Mr. Blank meqnwTiile is prettv safe, and if an attempt should

“Do you mean to say you’ve been treating me like an animated target all this while to be shot at for sonielHidy else?” roared Mr. Pompous, fiercely, as he realized the situation. “For sir, don’t desert us now,” cried Inspector Kowte? justly alarmed by Mr.,pompous’ tone. “If you will help u.<We rftiy have all the parties in five minutes. Lean forward now, sir, aud let yourself be seen 1”

“I shall not, sir,” screamed Mr. Pompous, foaming at the mouth. “Why ou earth (should I?” “The Honorable Mr. Blank is down to Windsor, and I’ve received information that an attack will be’made bjwin him as he steps from his carriage at the station. We shall arrive there first ” “And you expect me to act as a de-coy-duck?” interrupted Mr. Pompous, violently. '.*T Assure sir, fMh’e wi)i lie no danger,” crieddjhp detective, “At the first shot tlie assassin will be seized. For goodness' sake, show your face at the windtjW. sir, so that the scouts may signal your approach.” Mr. Pompous’ only answer was a kirjd of gurgle which seemed to prestige an apojfiectic ti% and theiHiajWlder.il made a daSih at'the cheeft-Mrfng and shouted wildly to the coachman : “Hi! stop! Turn immediately and drive like the devil in the opposite direction, Drive to Hampstead, Highgate, Whitecliapel, anywhere!” .TJia oriler to stop was. presently obeyed. and the coachiwnrr,'urged by Ids master's cries, drove off at a furious imcc down the nearest aide-turning. I inspector Rowle, being quite unable to i icvail upon Mr. Pompous to countermand his directions, opened the carriage door aud jumped into the roadway, at thi risk of his life. Mr. JPompoua, hr a sort of paroxysm of ■p-erish agitation and frenzy, persistently urged the coachman to continue straight on, until at length one of the horses fell from sheer fatigue and exhaustfo* somewhere in the neighborhood of New Barnet.

FARM NOTES. z , The practice of running hay through A haV-cutte'r and reducing jt to as short pieces as. possible, and then mixing with corn and sending to an ordinary gristmill to be ground into provender for poultry has been followed for several years by certain breeders with good results.— Chicago Journal. It has been discovered that potash for potatoes does little good unless applied early and thoroughly mixed with the soil. This may indicate either that, the potato plant needs the potash in its earlier stages of growth or that the alkali serves other purposes in developing plant food in the soil, which requires a longer time. It is probable that crude potash is rarely or never used as plant food. As it absorbs nitrogen and becomes a nitrate of potash its virtues become available for plant nutrition. The American Farmer advises every farmer to keep a rod measure —a light, stiff pole just sixteen and a half feet long—for measuring land. By a little practice he can learn to step a rod at five paces, which will answer very well for ordinary farm work. Ascertaining the number of rods in width and length of the lot you wish to measure, multiply one by the other and divide by 160, and you have the number of acres, as 160 square rods make a square acre. If you wish to lay off one acre measure thirteen rods each way. This lacks only a rod of full measure. A four rod tape-line is better w hen you hat's a boy to carry one end. It is very important, that every farmer should know the acreage and yield of his own crops. Abandon guess work and begin measurement at once. The Cultivator gives the following recipe for ridding sheep of tick: For 100 sheep take twenty-five pounds of common coarse tobacco and put it into as many gallons of boiling hot water, just taken from the fire. Stir it occasionally until cold, when the contents should be strained. Add to the strained liquid six pounds of soft soap, dissolved in three to four gallons of hot water. Then add to the whole compound so much cold water as will make the quantity 100 gallons, which should be contained in one or two laXffo tubs, into which the sheep are dipped and wrung out, mfeanwhile taking care to hold the head of the sheep above the fluid to prevent the animal swallowing any of it. The process is, of course, best done after shearing, but it should be remetabered that the ticks which are not killed are apt to invest the lambs, wherefore it may be necessary to also dip those. There is no profit in keeping a hog until it is 13 months old, and, although such an animal may possibly reach the weight of 400 pounds, the heavy weight will not compensate for the food consumed. A pig farrowed in April and about Christmas will more tlutn feiurn his cost, for it must be takeminto consideration ' tlurt during that period he will be but a pig, and the earlier feedings small in quantity. He should weigh 250 pounds when killed, especially if a grade Essex or Berkshire, and the carcass will contain a fair admixture of lean and fat. Very large hogs ure.very often only fit for the lardtubs, and very often only for the soapmnker. The quality of the meat influences the price, and the difference of only 1 cent a pound amounts to quite a sum in the whole. The profitable hog is the one that is grown quickly, fatted without delay, and marketed Before it begins to consume the food laid up for winter. — Eastern Exchange.

But there arc more of the treed, anil it has more friends than -ever before. Its long-continued popularity wrought evil as well as good. No other improved breed has suffered so much from following "fashion,” by 1 reciters. The great demand has caused the use of many animals for breeding purposes which should have gone to the shambles. Its highest type is the perfected beef animal, and it is by far thebest exemplar of the of-com-bining in one breed fair excellence in

E. Morrow. Mb. James L. Ingalthe, a New Yorker, in a recent address, said that the plow obthe present day is too slow. The horses ordinarily used are too light, and heavy horses and oxen are Mow. A plow-point costs considerable Money, and only one-twentieth can be used; the rest is sold for scrap-iron. A good plow should cultivate a width of from twelve to twenty inches, carrying the rider, and automatically passing obstacles. Weeds are now turned under—put into silo for preservation—instead of being left ut the surface to decay.. Nature puts all fertilizing matter ’on the surface. We, with the plow, turn all manures under and oover them with sub-soil. An implement is needed which win fine and pulverize the surface without iavqi'Ung U, leaving, all manurial rnatterw at vie snrfaoe, where the elements can disintegrate them and prepare them for plant food. Instead of turning down the seeds of weeds to Jk- turned up again after several years, perhaps then to germinate and give trouble, the proper way is to let them remain at the surface, when they will germinate quickly, and the youn|* plants all lie destroyed at once. How to Use Poultry -Manure. — The questions how to prepare and how -to apply th s bome-mada fertiliser have -frequently been asked and answered through your columns, bpt no hue has as yet'bit upon the methods I have adopted with successful results. I will Retail my practice briefly: I gather all the manure I can from the poultry house, turkey roosts, etc., and store in the barn floor, with about 100 pounds of ground Nova Scotia plaster to the Itarrel of manure, thoroughly mixed and occasionally turned over. The plaster tends to soften the hard lumps, and also dries the moist portions. Having a one-horse tread-power and an old “ejected undershot threshing cylinder, 1 send the mass through, and if any barrels until spring. A week or two before planting-time it is dumped on coarse lumps pass I rake them out with a garden rake and put through again. I then mix about the same bulk of dried or other rich soil with it and turn erw acveral times before using. I use it on corn at time of planting. Experiment having demonstrated that the up .-out forming the Toot of corn is tc der atel liable to injury from contact r.ith highly concentrated manure, while h- snoot forming the stalk is hardy, I . dop te<l the plan of dropping the corn fit st ion fresh soil if possible!, then upphing a half handful of tlie manure to laob li'flaud covering luusotdwiih h-x*. biiu* adopting Mb rnsttal, tolia ve never failed to Lave my corn come or failed in getting a fair crop; fre-u-Tiriy a large one.

Prayer and Bright’s Disease. If there is a disease over which mere imagination would appear to have no control it is.llright’s disease: one is tbuß afflicted the clumeqj of a long life are terribly against Idm. Miss Po vers, however, of Palmyra, has been cured, so she declares, aud so her family and friends say, by prayer; not by prayer and medicine, but by prayer without medicine. It is another of those events of which evCry physician has taken note, and the jilulosophy of which does not puzzfe him. He shakes his head in doubt, while a largo proportion of the community accept the story as it is told and regard the incident as an interposition of Providence. The historic record is as follows: Miss Powers sufl'ered, so her physician affirms—and this is, of course, the important point—not from a malady caused by th ) mimicry of disease, but from a genuine attack of Bright’s disease. proved to be such by the repeated analyses made by exjierionced miscroscopists and by the judgment of physicians who were specialists. At a given time she determined to throw medicine to the dogs and trust to the power of importunate prayer. She oon- , tinned her applications until one morning she found herself, to her great surprise, able to get up and dress and walk into the breakfast room. From that hour to this she has been in perfect health, enduring fatigue more easily than most of her friends. This story is vouched for ag authentic.

SCHOOLED, BUT KOT EDUCATED. A Call for an. Improvement in Our Educational Institutions. [From the Scientific American.] With a few exceptions our great educational institutions, and still more the smaller ones, are in grasp and spirit far behind the age, and entirely out of sympathy with, the modern world which the rising generation is soon to take possession of. From the moment the boy begins to prepare for college he faces the past; and the more conscientiously he does the work laid out for him the vaster will be the final gap - between college life and real life. The intellectual habits acquired in school and college may enable him ultimately to grapple with greater power and skill with the later problems of real life, greater, that is, than he would have shown had he been left entirely unschooled; yet in the administration of affairs he is likely to be distanced for the best part of his life by the unschooled practical man who knows from early and real experience precisely what to do in any emergency. The young man fresh from school is apt to know with thoroughness much the busy world has no use for. He has general notions of many arts and sciences, but his positive knowledge of the realities upon which such arts and sciences are based is usually next to nothing; still less does he know of the practical 'methods of men who apply them to human uses. His educational years have been spent mainly in a world apart from and largely out of relation with the modern working world he is to enter upon when his schooling ends. His education, admirable as it may appear from a theoretical point cd view, serves rather to unfit than fit him for practical life; and his real education has to begin afresh in the rude and costly school of experience.

This, of course, on the assumption that the youth’s education has been wholly by school-work. Fortunately, there are few boys who do-not rebel more or less against the routine of schooling, and some teachers undertake, often by stealth, a partial preparation for the real life. If the schools did not usually get the credit for good results obtained in this way by the independent and unencouraged efforts of their pupils, it is probable that it would be much easier than it is to do away with the traditional obstructions to "real education which huger in most schools and courses of study. One of the great problems of to-day is to infuse a larger share of modern spirit into school life and school work, to lessen largely the amount of book learning and increase the proportion of individual effort in dealing directly with realties; in short, to make the student more of a doer and less of a passive recipient of vague generalities. In every department of active life the call is for men untrammeled by tradition, men trained to challenge every alleged fact and natural law until its truth is proved; bold men, nsod to the solution of real problems, and undaunted by novel difficulties; alert men, ready to grasp every opportunity for improvement in materials and processes and skilled in the use of everything that .ministers to economical success.. The schools should help to develop suoh men. Now they often hinder such development. Controlling Forces. , There are three kinds of force controlling human affairs—material force, such its is exercised by the athlete, the multitude or the body politic; the fore*, of will, such as brings the hero safely over the obstacles of life to success in a predominating aspiration, and the force of virtue, which is the attachment to moral truth, swaying, elevating and confirming the will. Thn lant of ihone, byunaniihoue consent, is made the superior one, yet it so depends upon the former—the force of the will—that it can be distinguished from it only by its ethical aim. .Indeed, except for designating the direction of moral force, the' will, considered in a pure and simple sense, is the force by which the affairs of life ore shaped, since there ia no vital working in society, or by the individual, or of virtue, save through its energy.
