Unacountable Trick with a Bottle.

by Professor Anderson before Queen Victoria,
during the festivities Of Prince Aberts birth-d day.
1t is called the {" Inexhaustbe Bottle" On re-
ceirng the royal cammand TO perform it, the Pro-
fessor called for champagne bottle, and handed
a large, number of glasses round, and asked Lord
Portman what he would drink His Lordship re-

Anderson preferred brandy, which he got. Seve-

of the propre,ors ofthe royal disllery, Mr.. Begg'
thinking to battle the Professor, asked him if he
would give him glass Of his best Lochnanger
whiskey. No sooner said than done; and the
Lochnanger whiskey became in great demand. A
large numberof additional glasses were distributed,
and some called for Irish whiskey, numbers bran

Curious Facts relative TO the Effects
of Eating Sugar.

The French people are great eaters of Sugar,
always carrying some of it about with them in
their pockets and rctcules, and generally putting
five or six large Jumps into each cup of coffee
M. Rhossat reports that sugar, when used as the
erclusiue principal article of Diet produces quite
opposite effects in some persons, according to the
differences in their system ; for, while it fattens
some, it creates bile which induces diarrhna and
wasting of the solids in other persons. The Gel
ebrated Bolivar had by fatigue and privatons, 80
injured the tone of his stomach, that he was una
bic at times to take any other food than sugar,
which in his case, was easy of disges,ion. His
personal friend assures that in some of mis- last
campaigns he lived for weeks together upon sugar
alone as a solid, with pure water liquid but
probably, in nine hundred and ninety nine cases
out of a thousand, this diet would soon have
brought the person adopting it to his grave; for,
those whose digestion is feeble, large or
exclusive allowance of sugar adds to their griev-
ance, because the excess of nutriment, not being
generally absorbed by their weakened SYSTEM be-
comes converted to bile, and causes great debility
and wasting of the body In seventeen expert
ments made on dogs, Nj. Chessat observed that
when the sugar diet fat;ened them, there was a
general tendency to constipation meanwhile, and,
the contrary, when it produced an excess of
bile in other dogs, their bowels were relaxed
Why English children suffer in their digestion af-
ter eating largely of sugar plums, comfts &C.. is
chiefly owing, however, to those delicacies being
composed Of the refuse starchworks, mixed with
plaster of Paris, pipe-clay, or chalk and having,
indeed, as little sugar will suffice to give them
paatable sweetness, and they are often colored
with gamboge. and sometimes with red lead, ver-
dgris and other mineral poisons.
Every where, the beasts of the field, the birds
Of the air, the reptiles, the fish, and insects, are
found to have great liking for sugar and honey.
Mr.. Martin says he has tanned the most savage
and vicious horses with sugar, and has seen the
most ferocious animals domesticatedb by being part
ly fed upon it, The tanners Of lions and tigers
owe their power over them chiefly to a judicious
use of sugar and other sorts of sweets, and also Of
lavender water, and various other perfumes, of
which feline animals are remarkably fond. In the
sugar season, in the West Indies, the horses,
mules, and cattle soon acquire plumpness and
strength by psrtaking Of the leavngs of the sugar
canes, after the manufacturer has done with them.
In Cochin China, the elephants, bufaloes. and
horses are all fa,tened with sugar We learn from
the memoirs ofDr. Edw. Cartwright (iS43,) that
that ingenious man used to faten sheep on sugar.
To birds this diet proves so nourshing, that the
suppiers of the European poultry markets find
that sugar, along with hemp seed and boiled wheat,
will greatly fatten rufs and reeves in the space of
a fortnight.
