THE SUGAR TEST.
The Committee on ways and Means WIN
Adopt new Test for Imported sugar.


WASHINGTON. Jan 20.--The Committee
Of Ways and Means met to-day and spent
their time In consideration OF the sugar ques-
tion.. This ,s the most difficult problem be-
fore them. Several plans are proposed. The
Dutch standard shall pay the same rate. All
the alleged frauds IN artificial coloring, etc,
are In Deneraras between Nos. and 10,
Dutch standard In color. The reners object
to this on the ground that only the highest
grade allowed under such distinction III the
law would be imported, and that the refining
interest would be seriously crippled by such
legislation. The Louisiana sugar growers
also object unless the rate be put at figure
be demanded by the government is that sugar
shall pay duty according to the amount Of
saccharine matter contained in 1t, without re-
gard to color.
The question, then, depends largely upon
whether the present Dutch standard test of
color shall be preserved, OF whether the test
shall include with it the saccharine test Of po-
lariSation. Dr., Lugo, of New York, and Mr..
Bartol, of Philadelphia, scientific experts,
were called before the subcommittee to make
tests with polariscopes and saceharometers.
The full committee were Invited, and nearly
all were there, besides Mr.. Havelnyer OF New
York, sugar retiner. This is the test upon
which sugars are sold In the market. A sam
pie of sugar dark as roasted coffee was tested
and 1t polarized 80, and a light yellow sugar
polafized 81 per cent OF saccharine matter,
leaving In the first instance only per cent Of
foreign matter and in the second -. The
tests were very satisfactory, both instruments
agreeing within 9 fraction Of two-tenths Of
agree, one Instrument being 9. practical aud
the other scientific test. The saeeharine
tests showed how easily low grade sugar may
test high and high grade sugar test low. The
subcommittee is inclined TO adopt the sac
charine test In connection with the Dutch
standard test

Girls ana Cows.
In. Y. rifnnal

While girls unquestionably have their uses
in the economy OF nature, and possess merits
exclusively their own, it may be boldly as
serted that they are totally unfit to pursue in
company with young men the studies which
constitute the curriculum of every respecta-
BILE college One of the earliest studies OF the
Freshman year is the art Of getting the iani-
tors COW into the fourth story of the dortni-
tory. This can be readily mastered by any
young man of good abilities and habits of in
dustry and perseverance; but between girls
and cows there is great gulf fixed. The girl
from her earliest youth looks upon the COW
as ferocious beast prone to keep young
ladies in the air in positions fatal to the proper
arrangement of the back hair. To suppose
that three or four young lady students are
capable of the complicated pushing and pull
ing necessary to induce d COW to climb several
flights of stairs is to suppose that the natural
feminine fear of cows can be eradieated by the
mere process of naturalization. Thus we see
that one Of the very easiest Of college studies
is quite beyond the range of the female in
tellect

would leave them with the twentv-six, from

this could be had after veto Is another
question. but SO tightly is the line drawn that
there is much greater likelihood of a two-thirds
vote than Is generally given over q veto. Some
of the sanguine sort declare that the Bland bill
votes to spare and in the Senate by two or
three votes more than the necessary two

TREASURY NOTES.

cincinnati Commercially
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Representative
Buckner, Of Missouri chairman OF the House
Committee on Banking and Currency. will In
truduce and have referred to his committee
Tomorrow, q bill providing for calling in the
national bank circulation Notwithstanding
therefor a treasury note, receivable for all
duties to the government, including customs
dues and convertible into per cent gold
bond, the face of the note to bear the nscrip-
ton: THE United States is indebted to bearer
- dollals.'
The bill provides for the issue Of these notes
to an amount equal 10 the sum total of the
national bank notes now in circulation which
la about $316.00O,000. Under this bill tho ma
tional banks will be relieved of the one per
cent tax on circulation. and the convertibilty
Of the notes, for which it provides, gives such
notes a double advantage over legal tenders
in making them receivable for four per cent
gold bonds at par, as well as for payment
OF duties on imports. Under the
operations, Of this bill tho, six per
cent bonds are to be called in and
four per cent bonds substituted, which, it
Is calculated, will result In saving S1o,000,O00
year In interest A circulating medium will
be afforded superior to the legal tender note,
since 1t will be receivable for customs duties,
which the legal tender is not, and the feature
of interconvertibility for per cent gnld bonds
ut par gives 1t q value above that of the legal
tender note. The national banks will also be
relieved of all responsibility for their circula-
ton, and the present tax of per cent thereon,
amounting to about 30, 100000 per annum, and
this. it is believed. will command their favor.

The Law and the Lady.

went to the residence of Mrs. Lydia Wings, Of
Taswell county. Va, for the purpose Of ar
resting her on charges Of Illicit distilng and
violating the whisky laws. They found her
in bed. She refused to get up, and told them
If they wanted her they would have to take
her by force. In this dilemma two officers
promptly set to work. While one pulled on
her stockings and garters and shoes, the other
hauled her TO n sitting position, and bungling
ly endeavured to put mass Of skirts, waists,
dresses and other articles Of attire in their
proper places As soon as the officers had put
on as many clothes as they supposed q woman
should wear. they stood her up, shook out her
skirts, tied shawl about her head, and car

A RattIinu Runaway.

\ rafting runaway occurred on the
streets Sunday afternoon, and serious
consequences were feared by those who
witnessed it. A party of gentlemen
were being whirled about the city and
e%nvirons behind a fine large bay team
belonging TO Russell Thorpe, when one
end of the neck-yoke became detached
from its fastenings. 1t swung back
and forth, striking the spirited steeds
and quickly frightening them into a
run. The gentlemen sprang out at the
first squirt, but the brave driver ''froZe''
to the lines, and with might and main
strove to check the powerful animals.
They newdown Ferguson street, turned
into Sixteenth so shortly that specta-
tors held their breath in expectation of
an upset, and with another unprece-
dentedly short turn, dashed into the
stable yard. The heavy lower doors of
the stable were closed at either end, but
the horses plunged through, tearing one
front door from its hinges, and throw.
ing the other open with a crash that
shook the building. AS they entered
the narrow alley back of the stable the
tongue Struck a high board fence and
broke, the carriage whirled, the team
| stopped, and the driver flew over theiI
heads with the swiftness of an acrobat.
The horses in the stable snorted.
| plunged and kicked in their efforts &c
get free, and chaos reigned supreme fol
a few minutes. The runaways were
promptly secured, and everything wa:
quiet by the time the crowd arrived
Little damage was done, except to the
carriage, the driver fortunately escap
ing with n few bruises and scratches.
