Frequent collection of sap and rapid boiling sre the^rst requisites of success in maple angering. S ip quickly begins to lone quality if not boUed at once, and it should be the aim of the maker to ' have large boil- ing capacity, so there shall be no large ac- cumulations of aap on hand. A few doUars inveeted in an extra pan for the arch, so that the aap may be aooner boiled, and last neoeraity extot for night balling would be judiciously expended. It loeks as though with metal utensito and eyaporatcrs, with continuous flow, some makers had pused tha limit of actual perfection and were sacrificing color and flavor both. Water-white syrup will not sell without a suapicion that it haa been ' atuffed " with wliite sugar, aa onr makcra found out last season. A beautiful amber tint to wanted, and it should be the makers' aim to keen as close aa possible to natural tints and flavors, and not attempt improye- menta upon Nature and her gifts. The plan cf canning syrup ii alwaye np for dtoouarion, and both bet and cold plana are advocated. If it were not for a slight deposit in the cans, I should favor oanning hot at the evaporator. I never saw aymp that bad become cold and waa then re- heated but hid lost a per cent, of ita fine flavor and had ita color darkened. Fw home uae, when a little ailica aand in the bottom of the can is not to bring the charge of 'aanding," there to no other way ao nice. The syrup can be thoroughly atrain- ed through double thlokneaaea of flannel,' and will be striotiy pure. If cans are filled abaolntely full, cold filled will keep all right eapedally if the temperature be uniform at about 45 The wholeiale adulteration praotiaedby city dealera, uaing a good deal of glu- cose syrup with a very little fine maple syrup as a flavor, should be otrcumvented in some way, for it weakens the market to the farmers' disadvantage. If makers would deal aa much aa poasible with con- anmers, and as nearly as they can with commission houses who will not deal in adulterated goods, a great gain would be made, for this would tend to restore con- fidence in the purity of the syrup and bring more staisfaotory prices^ Manaeemeirtof Toims; Lambs The sooner the young lambs are docked, and the malea are emasculated, the easier the operations may be performed. We have been in the habit ef going through the flock once a week with a pair cf sharp sheep shears, and clipping the tails and castrating by one single clip. The lamb to hell under the left arm, and the akin of the tail is slipped up toward the root with the fingers ef thto hand the tail to then clipped off with the sheers. A pinch of powdeied blu9-stone (lalphate of oppai), is put on the wound, and the wool is drawn down and matted together with the little blood which escapes. Nothing more is required, and the wound heals quickly, the lamb evincing no indications of auffering.

BY IH« BBV. W. S BLACK8T0CK. Df. Samuel Johnson, thoogh a lover of aneodotee, did not set a high vafaae apen many of the telee whtoh an told abont great men. He doubted the atUity of a stery, the only effeot of whtoh to to make theaabjeotef It appear ridloaloni. ICvwi whan theee numtives were atrtotiy true he oould not aee that It wa. wwrUi whito to put them on record. " I know net weD, said he. In an assay written la defence ef aneodotee, " what advantage posterity esn reodve from the one dicumstanoa by which Ttoknell haa dtotiogubhad Addison from the rest of mankindâ€" the irregularity it hto pulse nor cui I think myself overpaid for the time spent in nading tiie lite of Malherbe by beiog enabled to r^late, after the learned biogr«pher, that Malherbe had two predominant ofdnions one that the looeeness of a single weman might destroy all her boast of anoient desoent the other that the Fnnoh beggan made nse very im- properly and btrbaroualy of the phrase noble gentleman, beoanse^ either word in- cludeu the sense of both." It to probable that he waili have be«n even severer in hii strictnrea on thete coU leoton of anecdoiee, if be could have for jw seen what Would be made of some of the incidents of his own life. Without thew anecdotes, however, posterity wonld not have had a complete fdcture of the man; and, on the whole, even those who have most respect for hto memory do not ngret that they have been preserved and handed down to succeeding generations. Happily he had great qualities enough to nnder it nnneceasafy for hto weaknesses and faults to be overlooked and forgotten. A leaa bril- liant luminary than the ann would ha dim- med and dit figured by the roots which he beara upon the anrfaoe bat hto tranaoend- ent effulgence mdkea na unoenacieua of their preaence. Macaulay pralaet Boawell'a biegnphyof Johnaon, but he doea it at the expenn of the judgment of ita anther. He appean to have been of the ofdnion that with a aound- er and mon vigorona nndentandiog he would not have done aa good work. Indeed he seema to have oeme to the oonolnalon that In order to be a first rate biognpher a man must be a half -fool. But if the aim of the biographer shruld be to produoe a true pictnn of the subject which he undertekes to delintote, as well as of the principal eventa ef his life, one would think to suc- ceed in thto sort of work would requin the very highest qualitlee oi anthonhip and the man who, oenfenedly, haa produced the very beat biography which haa been written In modem timea deserves a mon favourable verdict from mankind than that which haa been pronounoed upon him by the great eaaaytot and historian. I confeaa I do not altogether like the ac- count that Boawell gives of Johnson's eat- ing and yet withontathat Inimitable piece ef desoiiption we would not have been able to see him as he really was. Those protrud- ing, near-sighted eyes broughtdown to with in two or three inches of hto plate those veins standing out like whipcords upon hfs brow gllstonugwith prapiration; and the silent and ooncentntod energy with whl h he devoted himaelf to the faualneaa in hana until the onvinga of the inner man were fully aatiafied, though they do not, taken together, form one of the moat delicate and refined i^otorea imaginable, an too oharao- tertotic of the man tor them to have been omitted without the picture of him loalng something of ita truthfulness and reality. We should not have fully known the great- est Engltohman of hto time if thto descrip- tion hM been left out. I do not know how the Scotch people like the ill natnred aaylnga of Johnaon reapest- ing themaelves and their country whish have been preaerved. He appeara to have, for some occult reason that, so far as I am aware, has never been explained, formed an inveterate prejudice against Scotland ai d the Scotch. He could, apparently, see nothing either in " the land of mountain and td flood," or hi the people who live in It at all worthy of his admiration. The coun- try itself he pronounced ** detestable," and the only ground upon which he found himself able to justify the ways of Providence in producing such a countoy waa that ' It was made for S3otcbmen." Sidney Smith confessed that he wonld like to roast a Quaker â€" metaphorically I sup- pose, of courseâ€" and evidently it would have been j oat as agreeable a pas^e to Johnaon to nast a Scotehman in the same sense. Even in hia dfcUonary he finds ocoaaion to void hto bile upon the North Briton. Hto defioitiou of ocUs to well known " A grain commonly fed to horses In England, but used as food for men in Scotland." He ad- mitted to a Scotch gentlemui that Ood made hto country, bat he took can to mod- ify the adndssioh by raminding him that the same great Being had made heU. And yet it la a nmarkable fact, that ought to be mentioned to the oredit of tiie grace and good sense of the Saoteh, that among no other nationality hai he mon ar- dent admlran than among those peo- ple whom he would have us believe are brought up en horaefeed. To aay nothing of MaoauUy anl Main, both of whom an Scotchmen, Thomaa Carlyle to perhapa the only man in the last generation that has fully understood Johnson, or who haa been capable of duly eatimating hto character and worth. The rugged elemento of essential manhood, the great heart, the great nndentanding, the iron will, and the fierce and terrible eamestoeas snd Independ- enoe which he found In thto strange and wonderful man, made the modem Diogenes forget hto fanlta and foiblea. He doea not healtate, thenfore, to give him a permanent place among the heroea whom he recoom- menda to the worahI]^ng attention of man- kind. Then to juat one acene in the life ot John- aon, whtoh, aa It appean to me, might bettor have been forgotten. Hto nuf ortunato nn- cenntn with Adam Smith, the aocount of whtoh haa bean preaerved by Sir Walter Soett, waa aoarcely oreditahto to either eae or the other of these worthies.

He Has Been Hnffe* and WUt Join the Clr cas JgalB. When Jumbn tried to Imook out a fnight locomotive at Sk. Thomas, Ont., last Sep- tember, he not only made a faUnn of It, bnt got ao badly mangled that he died tiiree minutee later. If thto bad happened In Engtond, the ohancea an that Jambo wonld have been buried, the Prinoe ef Watoa would have wom orape oh hto arm for a while and a ton tombatane wonld have held him down. Bnt Phlneaa Taylor Bamum knew that tii'« American people would never forgive him If he let Jumbo allp out of sight inth«t;way. He wrote to Profeaaor Henry A. Ward of Boahestor and asked him If he would set the big elephant np in such shape that everybody who had ever aeen him boaa- ing thinga in a oircnaproceaslon wonld Imew him at onoe. So ainoe October last Profes- sor Ward and four of hto men have been at work on the nprodaction. It to new fin- ished. A tawny haired poet named Tody Hamil- ton gnided six yonng New York dtiaens to Rocheator to aee the elepbaut. They drove tiuroni^ blizstrda to Prateaaor Ward's big mnaeum m top of a high hUl to take a look at it. Profeaaor Ward met the elephant hnnten half way and led them toward a big yellow Iraflding that looked like a locomotive round honae. He thnw open a wide door, andatanding on a Ihtok oaken track, and filling up half the honae, with a j ovial emUe wreathing hto tnmendona trunk into a gi- gantic hook, then waa Jumbo aa natural looking aa oonld be. When the Canadian locomotive got through having fun with Jumbo, he waa not mnoh mon than a heap of poker ohipa and cold meat. Then wen 1,538 pounds of elephant hide around the wreck, and It was with thto that the Profeaaor aet abont build- ing np a new Jumbo. After the akin had baen thoroughly tanned by two month'a soaking in arsenic and corrorive aablimato of lime, it waa ready for a mounting. When the hide arrived at Rooheater Prof. Ward began to make a model to mount it on. On a foundation ot nine-inch oak beama he planted eight atandidrda of two- inch wrought iron. Two of these were to form the core of each leg, which was then built out with wood. With the aid of a life photograph and an elaborate aoale of measurement, made long befon Jumbo's death, the builder was able faithfully to reproduce Jumbo's giant form in wood. Thto frame he hammered and chiseled and planed until it looked like an elephant with hto coat cff on a hot day. Then began the task of tosring on the skin. Every wrinkle waa nplaoed exaotiy aa it used to be when Jumbo wore it, and all the omel rente made by the locomUve wen ao carefully mended that hto own mother couldnt have found them. It took 74 480 Swedtoh iron naOa to faaten it all en, and it new fita him better than it ever did be- fon. The way in which Jumbo'a mild brown eyes an Imitated in glaaa wonld delight a poet'a heart and make him tone up hto lyn for all it waa worth. C. A. Akeley and W. J. Critohldy, two young men who knew all abont building elephanta, gave Ftofeaaor Ward lota of valuable help. As It atonda on ita platform the new ele- phant weigha over 6,000 ponnda add It aa aolldaaarook. Ittoaolraced that all the travel and knocking aronnd In the world oannot damage it. DorIng drcna boon Jumbo redivivna will be aaddled and chil- dran will ride around the ring on hto back like they uaed to when he waa alive. Be- tween the performancea he will ride from town to town in a apeoUUy oonstraoted car. Ha to the biggest job a taxidermist ever worked on. The ohalk white skeleton of Jambo atood a few feet away. The mounting of It was the biggeat problem in articulation that Profeaaor Ward ever tackled. Emy bone in ita oolooaal framework haa not only been made to keep ita proper ptoce, bat:the whole is made so strong that It will be abto to bear M the knocking abont and rough hand- ling, by land and sea, that falto to the lot cf a skeleton in the drcns busineaa.
