Of the West India sugar and molasses the
Santa Cruz and Porto Rico are considered
the best. The Havana is seldom clean.-
White sugar from Brazil is some
times very good.
Refined sugar usually contains most of the
sacharine substance there is probably more
economy in using loaf, crushed and granula

If mould appears on it, wipe 1t ofwith dry
cloth.
Flour and meal ofall kinds should be kept
in cool, dry place.
The best rice is large, and has clear
fresh look. Old rice sometimes has little
black insects inside the kernels.
The small white sago, called the pearl sage
is the best. The large brown kind has an

&ci1yicT COlfax.

Schuyler COlfax Of Indiana was for the
fifth time nominated for Congress, last week,
in this wise; the whole district had come to-
gether in mass meeting at Plymouth, devoting
the whole day to it. One county delegation
had splinterS of rails in their hats another
bore an elaborate banner representing the
the manner Of rail splitting; some carried
big rails across their shoulders; and another
delegation bore to wagon an old weather.

from a round log, as emblamatic pioneer life.
Indeed, the variety of thing was beyond
description. After raising a tall liberty pole
a procession formed, mile and half long,
and marched to an oak opening. The gayel
of the presiding officer was maui. But the
people could not wait for ceremony, and
hardly had formal orgaization been made
when somebody shouted the name ofSchyer
Colfax! Another moved to amend that I'VE
re-elect him by at least 1900 majority, and
give the same majority to the State and Ma
tional tickets" The motion as amended,
prevailed, with loud, long, deafening cheers
which seemed to cause every leaf in the oak
grove to tremble as if stirred by some mighty
wind. Then they had their speeches and
the etceteras of the occasion. The people of
the district are only just to themselves in
sustaining in Congress with such enthusiasm
man who does himself, his State and coun-
try, such gaeat credit as Mr.. Colfax. He is
one of the most practically useful and able
members of Congress on either slde.-N. Y
