After drifting about for a time he went to Chicago and set up as a divorce lawyer. He entered the Federal army, and while in service found a coffee sack containing *250,000. After hiding it for a few days he turned it over tp his colonel for safe keeping. The colonel kept it only too well, and atter the war built a palatial residence with it in Nashville. fciais went on from bad to worse until he was convicted of securing a fraudulent pension. The other day he was pardoned.chielly on account of his size. He weighs 240 pounds, and the presence of such a big man in prison excited general sympathy. PERILS OF THE SEA, A Schooner Driitinjr Seventeen Days ?Lives Lost oft' New Zealand* The American schooner Ida Francis, which sailed recently from Pensacola, Fla., for New York, was dismasted when seventy miles southeast of Delaware Breakwater. Her cabin was filled with water and tbe provisions were mostly destroyed. The schooner drifted, water-logged and in a helpless condition, for seventeen days^ Thecaptain and his wife and child took refuge abaft the cabin, and they, as well as the crew, suffered terribly from cold and hunger. When rescued at the end of the seventeen days, all on board were in a greatly exhausted condition. They have been landed in London. The second mate, whose leg is broken, has been / liced in a hospital. The New Zealand coasting steamer Taiaroa bas been wrecked between w einngton auu Chiistehurchr, New Zcalaud. A heavy gale prevailed at the time and the sea was very rough. Three boats were launched, but each was speedily capsized. Twenty-nine persons were drowned. (Jul}* two passengei-s were saved. THE NATIONAL GAME. The American association used up 1,342 base balls during l&t reason. The Metropolitans will have the finesl grounds in the world on Staten Island. , The Detroit league club have the strongest collection of batters that was ever known. The new rule giving c redit in the summary for bases stolen seems to have met with general approval. It is estimated both associations will squander the snug sum of $50,000 for the players' railroad fare'this season. Baseball is quite as popular in Canada as here, and has outstripped* in general favor the national and beautiful game of lacrosse. St. Louis has no Jess than seventy-six uniformed amateur clubs. Philadelphia tops them with a total of-312 fully equipped organizations. Dan'n*, the new catr.h3r of the Yale college team, is also a fine pitcher, but so speedy in his delivery that no one could be fouud inthe college who could hold him. Each league club saves nearly $500 a year by the rule requiring players to submit to a reduction from salary >f fifty cents per day while awav abroad duriazthe season. A New York prophet predicts that the league clubs will finish as follows: New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Detroit, "Washington and Kansas City. The National leazne teams are captained as follows: Philadelphia by Irwin, New York by Ward, Detroit by liamon, Boston by Morrill, Chicago by Anson, St. Louis by Dunlap, Kansas City by Roe, Washington by Baker.

EXTRACTING THE TOOTHSOME PRODUCT IN VERMONT. t How the Substance Is Extracted t from the Trees and Boiled and c Furtnoci lor snipinent and Consumption. ^ i In a letter from Middlebury,Vt.,which ^ is the greatest maple-producing State in . the country, a Chicago Tribune corre- t spondent says: ? The maple sugar season is peculiarly a profitable to the Vermont farmers, for c the reason that it comes '.'between times," a when the: e is nothing going on about the r conduct of their farms except the "chores." For an orchard of 2,000 1; trees it is estimated that the t sugar house, the evaporator, ine y "sugaring-oif' pan. the vat, the> i sap-holders, the gatherers, the buckets, s (he spouts, the cans for the sirup, and the ij tubs for the sugar cost about .$600. These. 2 having once been obtained, will need a slight repairs and replacements from year s to year. Of course the sugar tubs and v syrup cans must be replaced every spring, g The profits of such au orchard averages n about $500 a year?more than most far- t mers spend annually for their household s expenses. Orchards of 2,000 trees are o not at all uncommon, and several far- I mers tap 2,500 and even 3,000 trees. t! Great improvements in the manufac- b ture of maple sugar have taken place F within the last fifteen years. Forty years il ago the boiling of sap in iron potash kettles ! d hung between logs was still common,and ! p in a few benighted localities the trees | were tapped with an ax. Pans set over n an arch of brick, in which the fire h burned, succeeded the kettles, and to- n day, in most of the best-managed or- n chards, evaporators (originally invented n for the manufacture of sorghum) have o 1 * 1 ? xT_ Anl pii rrn y* tx aispiaceu me (juiis. xnc juwi ougm | ~ place is one of vigorous trees, situated i ti upon the side of a hill with a southern ex- i< posure, a brook running at the foot of the t hill. The advantages of such a situation t are (1) that the sap can be easily carried ii by means of spouts running from holders h scattered through the orchard, into I which the baskets are emptied, to the main ii reservoir; (2) that the sap begins to flow I earlier than in a northern exposure; (3) g that the water enables the buckets and t' apparatus to be easily cleansed, an indis- | ti pensable aid to the produc tion of good j t! sugar and sirup. j t In such an orchard the sugar-house is j 0 nlaced at the foot of the hill, beside the j ? brook. They are one-storied "wooden 11 buildings containing sufficient room for s the evaporator and "sugaring off" pan, u for the packing of the products, and for the storage of the "tools" after the ex- ^ piration of the season. An evaporator is t( a long shallow pan of Russia iron, a divided into several compartments, connected with cach other by holes in alter- 11 nate ends of the transverse partitions, so ? that the boiling sap takes a zigzag course P as it flows through: The evaporator is 11 placed on the top of a brick arch twenty- s. nine inches high, -which occupies all the space underneath and which contains thfe fire. The sap, having been strained two * or three time, flows slowly from the a reservoir to which it has been carried ? from the trees into the first compartment " of the evaporator, and tumultuously boilmg proceeds slowly on its "winding way" through the compartments. With good luck it has flowed into the last compartment in twenty minutes from its entrance ft into the first and has become airup weigh- ]< ing eleven pounds to the gallon, the \ standard density. The heat all this time ? has been great. Sap boils at 215 degrees, ^ but 325 degrees is maintained by the a best makers in order that no "nitre" or j "mnlate of lime," the sugarmaker's n dread, the gritty substance found in poor r sugar, may be developed. Once it was c supposed that the formation of this sub- 1 v stance was a disagreeable necessity, and s great pains were taken to remove it by a 6training and precipitation. But it was s found that the "malate"' was the i jj main source of the delicate .aroma and | 0 QTl/1 fVinf T+C i uavwi Ul bliU UiU|fl& pi vviuuvo uuvt vuuv ??v ^ removal -was an injury. By repeated ex- s, periments it was ascertained that if the r temperature was never allowed to go be- v low 200 degrees the malate did not coa- y lesce with the lime and the nuisance j-j could be avoided. In the evaporators f sirup alone is made. It is drawn off / from the last compartment through a f strainer, and if the manufacture is to ^ end there, is set aside to cool and then ^ put up, generally in gallon cans. If it is 8, to be made into sugar it should be trans- ^ ferred boiling hot into a "sugnring-otf" c pan. in which a heat of nearly 400 de- ^ grees is maintained, and will soon be a transformed into saccharice crystals. The j n greatest care is taken to prevent scorch- 11 ing. The sugar is made into cakes or | ^ packed in tin cans, each holding about I s fifty pounds. f The sugarmaker's task during the sea- o son is one of almost incessant labor; but e there is a rollicking smack of the wilder- d ness and camp life about it that makes it y very attractive. The sap must be boiled a a? soon after its flow as possible or it ; o will ferment and sour. Consequently it j c is gathered frequently, and when the run i s' is large the boiling is kept up night and ! si day. A sugar p!::ce in active operation j r; by the dim light of an April moon is a I o weird sight. The fires are red hot: the j jj furnaces stuffed with dry word, which [ w sends streams of smoke lurid with great ; t< sparks up the chimney; the farmer a and his assistants are dancing around i renewing the fuel, testing the boiling sap with the saccharometre, watching the governor which controls the flow of the s-ap from the reservoir, I "swearing off,-'1 and packing the tooth- ! some product for market. An ordinary J sugar season lasts between three and four ^ weeks?beginning, say, the last of March i ? and ending about the 23th of April. A c tree averages about three pounds of j t. sugar. There are many orchards, how- j ever, carefully attended to?trimmed out: so that the sunlight has free access and jj in some cases annually fertilised with' wood ashes?where five pounds of sugar i -r arc made frf)m each tree. And there arj i q trees which make much more than that. ; Ordinarily it takes sixteen quarts of sap ; to make a pound of sugar. The first run j of fa) is consideicd the best. The ten- j fi clency iiowalavs is to bore smaller holes ' ? than formeilv: hard'y ever more liaii j half an inch ;n diameter, and sometimes ' j, not more tlia:i a quarter of an inch, and ^ penetrating not more than two lnche-; and a half. Some do not penetrate more than ; an inch and a half. It has been found j that second growth trees produce more and sweeter sap than the trees of the primeval forest; and the feasibility of setting out maple orchards in selected localities is being strongly advocated in the farmers' meetings. In fifteen years they would be fit for tapping. The best sprouts are metallic pipes; the best pails of tin and furnished with covers; the best holders and vats of wood, covered and tin-lined. The coverings prevent the ingress of dripping, dust, and bark from the trees, particularly during rainstorms, which discolor the sugar and V lrup. The best sugar is a light brown nd the best sirup an amber color. Bird Migration. In an article about birds a writer in he San Francisco GVz?Zsays: What causes )ird migration is somewhat difficult to letermine, the lack of food and the approach of cold being the principal agents. Whatever may be the direct cause, it is a act that there is every fall a general novement of birds toward the South, ind in the spring a return. The maority of birds make the entire trip from he extreme north to the Gulf States, Mnvipa 1UUIUC1U V-/U1HU1 Uit? auu w?.viu. is the crows, etc., remain in the North luring the winter, while others, again, s jays, woodpeckers, etc., are partial nigrators. It is somewhat of a puzzle how young >irds find their way over the country to he South and back to the same doorard in the spring; but that they do it s well known. Robins build in the ame tree year after year, returning to it q the spring, perhaps after traveling ,000 miles, within a few hours of their rrival on the year previous. While it is omewhat speculative how birds find their' ray, it is evident that they follow the Teat rivers, as the Mississippi, the mountain ranges, as the Coast Range and he Rocky mounta:ns, and the coast itelf. The birds on the eastern coast are ften blown out to sea, many reaching iermuda, and on the Pacific coast, even he most delicate of all, the humming irds, are found on the Island of Juan 'ernandez, and all the islands of the Calfornia coast are resting-places for birds uring their migrations. Some birds, erhaps the majority, fly at night. Astronomers have seen flocks three liles up in the air, moving onward so igh above the earth that its familiar inrkings were spread before them like a lap. From this habit' of traveling at ight they often fall victims to various bjects. The lighthouses on the coast, specially those where fogs.prevail, could ell a strange story of the myriads of del?ate feathered victims that dash against he light on misty nights. In Eastern wares often a hundred birds will be found a the morning at the foot of the lightouses, and on a light near )enmark (Heligoland), that stands a the track of one of the great luropean lines of bird migration, Teat heaps of birds are often found by be keeper in the morninsr. Thesus-' nining power of birds is -well shown in he fact that I have seen birds of many :inds alight on the extreme outer keys f the Florida reef. They were blown ut by northers, showing that they had own across the Gulf of Mexico. At uch times they are very tame, alighting pon vessels. A friend tells m6 that he has often .ad birds alight on iiis boat wnen nsning i an miles off shore, a sparrow, even, I lighting upon vessels. In Los Angeles, in the fall, when the ligration has set in, the electric lights re often fatal to the birds, their bodies ieing found under the pole in the mornng, while in a fog myriads have been een darting about as if fascinated by he dazzling light. The headlight of he locomotive is also fatal to birds, and he engineers on the Southern Pacific nd other lines frequently find evidences f contact on the glass, and dead birds ave been found on the engine and rrt nlr I UVi\? The Tea of Paraguay. >. In a discussion over the -virtues of the ot water cure, Mr. P. Barry has the folDwing to say in an English paper: Vhen in the republics of Uruguay and he Argentine in 1868, where I met Capain Burton, I found that the tea of Parguay (mate) as a hot infusion used by Englishmen "in the camp" did, with lutton, all that is claimed by your corespondent. The fellows in the distant amp were often six and eight weeks .'ithout anything but mate and their j heep, and to my horror I found that each t a meal could eat a merely sodden houlder of mutton, which for an hour .ad been toasted from a wooden stake ver a fire. The mutton so prepared .'as often perforce eaten without breud, alt, or pepper, and then it was always olished for its own sake, but /ashed down with mate. Why it was ivinglikea fighting cock!

A pound of bananas contain more nutriment than three pounds of meat or many pounds of potatoes, while as a food it is in every sense of the word far superior to the best wheaten bread.
