I was then a young man, teaching in a
newly settled part of Northern Ontario,
The farms in that 0ootio) wore only partly
cleared and most of them had what they
milled a " algae( bush," that is a number of
maple trees from which sap is obtained for
making maple syrup and sugar.
It was the early part of the spring and
most of the fanners were engaged in the
above mentioned business. Tho process is
as follows: First, the trees aro tapped by
cutting a notch in them and the sap which
00008 otic is made to run into wooden
troughs, one of which is placed at the foot
of each tree, When the troughs are full
the sop, which tastes like sweet water, is
gathered in pails and poured into a large
iron kettle, suspended from poles. Under
this a fire is then made. The sap mast be
carefully 14/Molted, so that it will not boil
over. If syrup is wanted, the liquor is only
allowed to come to a certain thickness ; 1.f
sugar is to be (made, it is allowed to boil
down until it becomes quite thick. It is
strained when hot, to remove little pieces
of wood and other impurities.

left the hoose. We had to arose several
Hells before entering the woods. The air
was mild and pleasant, the ground was
covered with the winter's snow, and as we
walked through the bush we inhaled the
fragrant breath of the pine treas. Although

in front of the while his brother brought up
the rear. A tall broad -shouldered young
fellow was Joe, with any amount of courage
and endurance. He was very sociable and
although not educated, possessed a fund of
practical common sense and originality
which always made his conversation inter-
esting. Having dismissed his brother, W0
threw enrolees down on the couches of
pine branches inside the tont and Joe en-
tertained me with many aneodotea of his
experience as lumberman, going out every
now and then to replenish the fire.
We had arranged that he was to watch
the.fira6 part of the night and to cell me
about 2 o'clock. As 10aid before, the sap
needed constant watching to 000 that it did
not boil over. Joe wont in and 0116 and I

called, " what on earth is that?"

to the door and looking in,

"No, they seldom, attack anyone mnlea0

spent nearly her whole time at Balmoral in
visiting the various places where she used
to go on picnics with Prince Albert, She
is going throoglt the sante programme on this
occasion, and is even more solemn about it
than before. The 1pineen's grief for her
consort has evidently not been weakened
