How MuCu SUGAR DO We EAT.-Last year
there was consumed in this country about sew
en- hundred and five million pounds Of sugar
and twenty seven million pounds of maple SUI
gar. This gives more than twenty seven
pounds ofcane sugar and one pound of maple
sugar to every man, woman and child. This
does not include molasses or honey. fthis su-
gar were put into barrels holding two huno-
space of three square feet only, it would re-
aurc three hundred and thirty six acres OF land
for it to stand upon. The barrels. if placed iu
a row. would reach two hundred and twenty
miles. If this sugar was put up in paper pack
ages of five pounds each, it would require ons
hundred and forty-six million four hundred
thousand sheets ofwrapping paper; and II on
ly yard of string was used to each package
there would be required Tor a hundred ana !nir-
ty nine million two hundred thousand eet' OF
eighty-three thousand miles Of strIng-more
than three times enough to go round the world
If every retail clerk sold hundred POUNDS OF
sugar each day. it would require nearly twen1
ty-five thousand clerks to sell it all in year
If the dealers wholesale and retail togetner'
made profit of only two cents pound on This
sugar, these profits alone wou1d anoun' :"
