Sugar.--ln the reign Of Henry Nv. a.
bout Two centuries and half ago, sugar
was SO scarce in France, that apothecaries
sold itby the ounce.at price equal to what
is now given for quinine. In the year
1900 The consumption of sugar did not ex-
ceed 2.l70,000 pounds annually, which
was about three ounces per head--,he pop
uaWon then being about 10000, GOO. The
great consumption of sugar dates only from
the eighteenth century. In lhe year 1888,
49,9l0.000 pounds were consumed In
France alone.
