deficient in courage or in strength; and was
wont constantly to exercise myself IN the use

pom, as usua ~ was, should have thought
myself match for any one, though stronger
than myself; and felt perfectly secure

MISCELLANEOUS.
HISTORY OF SUGAR.

General readers will find in the annexed ex-
tract notice Of the period when sugar was
first brought into use as condiment. and will
conceive with difficulty that all antiquity lived
and enjoyed without having any acquaintance
with substance now Of prime necessity to
all
The commercial and Economical importance
of sugar is Of modern date. II was known to
the Greeks and Romans MS medica! sub.
stance, but not US food or condimen,. He
rodotus informs US, that the Zygantes, peo-
pie of Africa, had, "besides honey of bees, Il
much greater quantity made by men," This
was probably sugar, but not brought to state
of Capitalization. Nearchus, the admiral Of
Alexander, "discovered concerning canes,
that they made honey without bees" Megas-
themes, quoted by Strabo, speaks, 800 B. G.,
of"India stone, sweeter than figs and honey
Theophrastns, in a fragment preserved by
Photius, describes sugar as "a honey con-
tanned in reeds" Eratosthenes, also cited by
Strabo and after him, Terentius Varro, are
supposed to have meant sugar-canes by ''roos
ofIarge reeds growing in India, sweet TO the
taste, both when raw and when boiled, and
affording, by pressure, juice incomparably
sweeter than honey"
Near the commencement OF the Christian
err, sugar was first mentioned under an appro-
pirate name and form. /" In India and Araba
Felix" writes Dioscorides, "a kind OF con.
crete honey is called saccharon. 1t is found
in reeds, and resembles salt in sohdity, and in
