Every time 1 stc a newspaper allusion to the sunrar-bush I want to move right out on a farm and rush around among the maples with a neck voke and a bucket dangling at either end. I've been right there. What I don't know about "sugar ing ofP; isn't worth the syrup to sweeten it. You first tap the trees. Maples are the beM, but it doesn't do anv harm to tap a few beech, ash, elm and oak trees, so'as to brighten up the taste of your sugar. Twenty years ago anything was a sap bucket that would bold sap, even down to the tea-kettle and butter bowl. If there has been any im provement in this particular, so much the worse for romance. The sugar-camp should be lo- j ealed near a black-ash swamp, in order to get the benefit of frog serenades and owl concerts. The arch of the fire should' be laid up in such a manner that it ) will cave in or bulge out a dozen times during the season. The shanty should cost about To cents for lumber and 1'2 for work. The morc it leaks the more lomantie the occupants will feel. due season when J ran an Ohio sugar-bush on shares 1 added just one-half water to the sap before ! boiling. It ma take a little longer to boil down, but tlie longer it takes the more time you have to boil eggs, gather chickens, roast potatoes and hunt squirrels. Gathering up the sap has many sentimental episodes connected with it. There are always hill-. The housewife occupies rather a sides to climb up or roll down,!co,nmanf;ng than a subordinate babbling creeks to drop into and! position. swamps to gallop over, and where one owns his own sugar-bush he can lug two pailfuls at n time or make use of his plug hat. No man is called upon to break his back in order to produce maple sugar for the public at large. "Sugaring off" was where the fun came in. After three or four days of gathering and toiling and conning and firing and taking care of a pair of smoke-stained eyes! and a cold in the head, the con tents of the sap-pan got down pretty thick. It hastens affairs somewhat to boil up a pound or two of fat pork, a" dozen eggs and two or thrcehandfuls of leaves and sticks. These things can be left out of the sugar if it i for home consuption, or left in it if for general sale. want to say' right here that there is only .one, thing on earth to prevent the con tents from boiling over, and that was a horse-shoe which was picked up in the road by a seventh son. T still have a large number on hand, and will furnish them to the trade at very low figures. Be ware of the human hyena who wants to sell you a deer's horn, a sheep's foot, a colt's ear, or a pint of sunflower seeds in a bag. The sugaring off is done in a small kettle. You can tell when it will wax by dropping some on the back of your hand. A clean piece of elm bark, or a big white chip, makes a boss platter, and a small chip makes a nice ladle. Yum I It's good! You sit down on a log and poke and stir and blow and eat. Strings of it hang down from your jaws, and more strings wind themselves along your vest arid clutch your coat. Overhead are the budding trees: Behind you is the hillside. Off to the left is a pearly creek, and off to the right is a farmer trying to pull a cow along by the horns. The romance of the situation hits a person right between the eyes. There are also ticks and bugs around the old Jog. A school ma'am who won't walk two miles in the mud. climb six fencess.i jump three creeks and tumble over a dozen roots to eat 3 cent's wort of warm sugar on a maple chip in a sugar-bush can't have the instruction of my children. She'd wear their noses right down sharp on the grindstone of lealiry. Tit i.r.l Old Customs in Thibet The principal food of the coun try is called jamba. To make it a quantity of powdered tea is cook ed for several hours, after which it is poured into a ehnrn, when sail and butter ate added, and the whole is stirred until :t complete mixture is effected. The broth is then divided among the hungry ones, each of whom gets his share in a wooden bowl, after which a sack of roasted barley meal is brought out. Everyone takes a handful of meal from the sack, puts it into the lea and mixes the mass into a shapely lump, and swallows his dough with a keen appetite. After the meal is over, the wooden bowls are licked clean with the tongue and worn on the breast next to the skin as oinc- thin precious, Polyandry is practised, not on ncCount of any lack of women, tor tnere s no j, .IC but as a Illeaslin. of economv. When the oldest son marries, his wife also becomes the wife of his brothers. The custom docs not lead to so many difficulties as it might be supposed it would, and the chief trouble arising out of it concerns the fatherhood of the. children. Three ways of burying the dead prevail. The poor sink their dead in one of tho mountain streams; those of the better class hang the bodies upon a tree, where they are consumed by birds, and the bones arc afterwards thrown into the river; the rich cut the bodies up into small pieces, pound the bones and mix thein with jamba, and then carry the remains to the mountains, where they are left for the birds. These are old customs and have no connection with ie ligrion. Ocean Freights According to the San Francisco Journal of Commerce the wheat fleet of 1881-2 was the greatest ever known in the history of the state, Tt consists of ."r0 vessels carrying wheat and flour and nine canying flour alone. There were at one period of the vear too few vessels for the wheat that came to hand and freights were forced up to unusual figures, reaching in one instance 4. 30d per ton. This was the climax. But the ft eight ruled high most of the year. To wards the cjose, from the threat ened railroad competition and other causes, it declined. The lowest rate of the year was JL'2 to Australia. The rate that the larg est number of vessels paid was 3 10s for 51. The next largest was jC'S 5s, which the shippers on od vessels paid. Bv far the larger portion of vessels that cleared early in the year were paid over .'). The value in dollars of the freight paid on wheat, not including flour, has been for the harvest year SI G, 0C9,T89.8G -1-5 nearly, over sixteen millions of dollars. The number of long tons of wheat carried was 9S0,711, and the average rate per ton 3 Gs 10 4-5d nearly, or in American coin 91G.2T $4-100 nearly, about S3:V cents tier" cen tal.

Y., is a fair sample of the spread of the habit. Twenty-five years ago, with a population of 57.000, the annual sales of opium iti Albany amounted to only 49 pounds and JG5 ounces of morphia. Now with a population of 91,000, o,500 pounds of opium and 5,500 ounces of morphia are sold annu ally in that city. It is true that most of these drugs are sold for medical use, but the sugestive fact remains that the increase in the population of Alhany v.i been but .59, while the increase in the sale of opium has been 900 per cent. One of the druggists of Albany is quoted as saving that where, 25 years ago, he made laudanum by the gallon he now prepares it by the barrel. I'm fortunately, what is true of Albany in this respect seems to be true of the rest of the country, and there is force in the writer's suggestion that it is time to regulate and limit the sales of opium by legis lative enactment. r.et it alone,' and he fears that 'opium may, ere many years, be used as extensive ly in America as in China. Yesterday, says a late issue of the San Francisco Stock Report, Superintendent Taylor had to turn away 105 children from the doois of the Lincoln school, and this morning some fifty more. Some of the parents were veiy importunate, but it was no use. "But 1 must get my children in," said one resolute 'mother, ''But, my good woman," said Superin tendent Taylor, ."you can't get them in: 1 tell you there is no room.1' "1 must get them in," she persisted; "here T have reared in this city seven children without any father, and I think I am en titled to get them into the schools." "Under such circumstances, mad am,'' answered Mr. Taylor, "I certainly think you ate. You shall have the first chance.1" San Francisco consumes ilaily SC,000 crabs,j)ayinc tlierefoi to the fishermen ?. cents per dozen., or about fc?r,000 annually. Of shrimps she consumes a ton and a half or 3,000 lbs. per day, for which the fishermen receive about $15,- 000 per month 1SO,000 per annum at 'J cts. per pound. The wholesalers get 1T cents per pound, delivered to restaurants and luch counters. San Francisco bay is the only locality where any at tention is paid to catching them. The industry there employs f00 persons and 40 boats. A large portion ot the toal catch is dried for shipment to China, lu pounds of the fresh making one of the dried, which brings the drier ." to 8 cents per pound. A California school girl who took a prize of $20 given to the graduate who should wear the cheapest dress on commencement day, has put the money in the bank with ten dollars given her b uncle for leaving oil" chewing gum, and five more given her by her grandmother for reading the Bible through, and is going for seal-skin sacrjue next winter.
