The importation Of glucose into this coun-
try has increased q hundred fold since last
year. This sugary substance, which Is gener-
ally manufactured from starch, may also be
obtained from rags treated with sulphuric

lasses, and it is said that very little of the

The governor OF South Carolina ''repels with
indignant scorn'' certain assumptions of the
governor of Massachusetts, in declining to sur.
render Kimpton. We expected as much. A
southern governor who doesn't "repel with in

chance of reelection.

ONE OF THE POPULAR ERRORS In this country
is that which regards eating hearth J In the
evening as detrimental to health. Almost any
one can find a score of persons among his ac-
quantanceS who have dinner at or 5 O'Clock
in the afternoon because they are unwilling
later In the day, to trust their StOmachs with
anything more solid than tea and toast. II they
go abroad, they look upon the eating on board
the steamer Of Welsh rarebltS and he like at
10 and II O'Clock in the evening, with much the
same horror that they would regard an Excess
SiYe Use Of liquor. But when once fairly
brought into contact With foreign habits, say
English dinners at and German SuDperS at
10 p. M, they usually fall back on the suppose
ton that the usage of several generations has
fitted the digestive organs of foreigners to bear
this excessive strain. One very worthy Ameri-
can lady dismissed a native doctor i'm Paris as
c0nfesSedly incompetent because he recon-
mended for some dyspeptic trouble that she
should eat hearty meal some two hours before
going to bed. Fortunately, his successor took
the same stand: and though she considered the
method OF treatment as wholly wrong, she was
persuaded into following it, and what Is more,
was cured In spite of herself. II our physicians
would make this matter OF diet more Of study,
nwOuid fully repay them. 1t cannot be that
we are Inherently organized from our brethren
across the water, and hence what long eXpe-
rience has shown to be lealthful for them can
not prove otherwise for us. The strain which
our American habits of eating put upon the
physical system Is, that 1t crowds the two
really hfe-giving meals of the day, breakfast
and dinner, close together, and then leave the
BODY to fast for sixteen hours out of the twenty
four.-[N. y. Sun.

LACK OF Books IN RUSSIA In Russia there
are districts it is said one may pass through a
population aat no of a hundred thousand people
a book, except the Slavonlc Bible or the
Well-Worn book OF an official. Accordingly
to correspondent of the Cologne Gazette,
habltants, only four or five Russian book-shOps
worthy Of the name. while there are four Ger
man shops. st. Petersburg is better Off, but it
has only nifty booksellers, or one to every IA 900
persons. THOSE towns are, OF course. the GEN.
tres from which proceed the publications that
supply the rest OF the Empire. Warsaw has
one vender OF books to every 10000 people, and
ODESSA one to every 10000, but half Of the
Odessa shops are in deCayed condition. Cron-
stadt, In spite OF its large garrison OF educated
officers and Finnish sailors, has only two shops
to IS.G coo people: Abo, in Finland, one to 2e,O00
and Omsk, the exile centre OF Siberia, and the
site of the future university. one to $1,000.
Finally, TaShkend is the worst of all, having
only single book-ShOp 10 5000 people, and
that bad one. Taking provincial Russia, the
proportion of booksellers to the town pODua-
ton is roughly estimated to be one to every
10000 people, while none at all will be found In
towns having less than 10000 inhabitants. At
the same time it may be noted that an Odessa
correspondent of the MOSCOW Gazette reports
that the three best books on farming in South
Russia are purchased chiefly by EnglShmen
One bookseller told him that he sold twice as
many OF those books to Engltshmen that he did
TO Russians, and that the purchasers were
either tourists or men who had bought farms In
Cle nelgnO0rnOOQ or ODESSA.
PROFESSOR SMyTHE, OF the University of Yer
mont, has given the students Roland for their
Oliver. One day last week some OF the boys
loaded a small cannon in the hall and placing
1t with the muZZle toward the recitation room
set it off by means Of long fuse. The moment
the report rang out In the hall, miscellaneous
assortment of dumb bells was hurled down the
staircase from the upper floor. The boys In
the recitation room rushed out to see what was
the matter, the girls screamed and one OF them
tainted in the arms OF a good looking fellow:
but the Professor himself was tranquil and
undemOnstrative, making no reference to the
vexatiOuS interruption. The next day, how
ever. he showed the class al experiment In
which quantity OF water in tightly sealed
glass jar was decomposed by electricity into its
composite elements, oxygen and hydrogen.
He then opened the jar, liberating the gases.
which make a powerful explosive when mingled
with the nitrogen of the air, and then lighting
match applied It to the mouth Of the jar. An
and the nervousness and agitation of the boys
amused the professor, who smiled grimly.
