The Sugar of The Mrrld.
Frsser'S Magazine,

Something like oue-teuth Of the sugar
IN the world is produced in MauritiuS.
Mccullough in 1852, put down the
worlds produce go 600 tons. In
that ear the island prtduced about
LIS go tons, In 1862 5 the crop pro.
duced 10000 tons, the largest quantity
ever maize i'll Mauritius in single crap.
These ngures are independent OF the
sugar made from beet or other sources
besides the cane. The crop during the
year just over is estimated at 1875
ooo tons. OF this the larger portion is
exported, the island consuming an.
nually about $500 tons. Beet root
sugar can be claSSed among the natural
enemies OF the cane. The very mention
of Its name in Mauritius acts like the
wave of n red flag to a bull, n good year
tor beet meaning bad year for
sugar; failure in the former crop will
add several ShillingS to the price Of n
hundred weight ol cane sugar, differ
ence which means 10 the planter good
income for the year or the reverse.
Beet sugar is ENCOURAGED NV bountieS
by the French Government, hence It's
cheaper production and its rivalry with
sugar cane

A Plague of LOcusts.

The Georgian town of Jelizawetpol
near Tiflis, has suffered plague Of locusts
almost as bad as that which afflicted
Egypt in days of Moses. The insects in
vaded the town in such numbers that the
merchants had to shut up their shops,
and walking about the streets was exceed.
ingly difficult. The Russian authorities
ordered the inhabitants to make a united
effort to kill the pests, but the generous
people refused, believing it to be sin to
destroy locust, until the authorities
threatened to punish every householder
who failed to deliver daily given weight
of insects. The canals were filled with
locusts, so that water for drinking and
washing could only be obtained by strain
ing. The houses swarmed with the
creatures, and many families went week
without bread because their ovens were
literally filled with them. They tried in
vain to drive the locusts away by light
ing holy candles and burning incense.
The Arminian priests regarded the plague
as visitation of God, and brought from
a neighboring town the bones of Jacob,
which they carried through the streets of
the afflicted city IN procession, fairly wad-
ing through the masses Of dead and Hv.
ing locusts as they marched along with
the relics OF the patriarch. The energet.
ic measures taken by the police finally
abated the evil, bnt not until the gardens,
orchards and vineyards had been stripped
bare, and the people had suffered for
more than week.

The Cod.

The cod is one of the most fecund of
fish and more widely used for food than
any other fish except, perhaps the her
ring. 1t is not confined, as some persons
seem to think, to the waters Of this con
tlnent. extensive fisheries of the kind be-
ing on the coasts of Sweden, Norway,
Iceland and the North of Scotland. The
Netherlanders were engaged in them as
early as the fourteenth century; the En-
gllsh went to the coasts of Iceland about
the same time for the same purpose, and
the French have also been similarly en-
ployed. The cod is always caught by
line; the bultow method, introduced by
the French, being adopted both on the
coast and out at sea. The bultow is a
line Of sometimes 5000 thousand fathoms,
with hooks fastened on it by snods six
feet long, about twelve feet apart.
Buoys and anchors are attached to each
end OF the line, which is stretched across
the tide to prevent the ENHANCEMENT of
the hooks. The next morning-the line
is set at evening-the hooks are loaded
with fish-several hundred usually
from drowning. More than 5000 Euro
pean vessels, independent of boats along
the shore, are said to be engaged in this
fishery, and one man has been known to
catch 500 or 600 fish IN ten or twelve
hours on the banks of Newfoundland,
which excel all other regions in produc-
tlveness. 1t is estimated that the roe
OF the female contains from A.
100000 to 100000 eggs, and that he
who eats it eats what, if allowed to ar
rive at maturity, would equal some 2OO,-
100000 pounds of food. There are $500
vessels, tonnage $4,000 tons, and 49,
600 to $4,000 men employed in the cod
fisheries OF the United States. The fish
cry has been carried on for nearly five
centuries without interruption; and yet
there has been no diminution Of the sup
ply, which is prodigious, equal to any
apparently possible increase of demand.
Almost the whole civilized globe eats
cod nowadays, and nature seems deter
mined to contribute far more than enough,
even should the entire world become a
vaicosoru consumer.

And now go with him-O joy ecstatic!

The lark arises at our very feet,
While speckled thrush and blackbrd often

With mellow notes and sweet.

In secret woods where VIC alone shall wander,
In more scoucstered wales.

For nightcngales among the sparrow crew;
Then marvel that the music of our valleys

Much taste is shown for vivid shades
of red in many different articles of ap-
parel. At the races red parasols were
very conspicuous; at a recent ball given
in Paris there was a great predominance
Of red dresses. Next to this shade there
is a taste for Sevres blue and Wedgwood
blue, and Sevres blue is often mixed with
brilliant shades of scarlet; country toilets
are often finished with wide sashes a la
Tallien tied loosely about the waist, of
bright shades of scarlet; these seem to be
added as an after-thought to any style Of
costume or with any cOlOred dress.

AS climbed up to gather some roses
From our beautiful rose-tree's crest
What should find half hid in the boughs,
But mother-bird on her nesty
AS proudly she sat as queen on her throne,
Peeping out through the blossoms at me;
But where in the wide world was ever a queen
So gai.y enthroned as she?
In palace of rosewood she reigns with her
king,
And rose damask covers the walls:
And yelvet-like curtain Of petals of pink
Over window and doorway falls.
She dreamily broods DER her four tiny eggs
In silence, too happy to sing;
While, telling his love in tremulous trill
Beside her, on guard, stands her king.

Words Of Wisdom.

He who runs after shadow has a
Wearlsome race.
Those who cry the loudcst have gener-
ally the least to sell.
There are two kinds of geniuses-the
clever and tie too clever.
Justice is like glass, which cannot be
bent, but is easily broken.
The word of an honest man is surer
than the gold of villain.
We can never die too early for others.
when we live only for ourselves.
1t is the best proof Of the virtues Of a
family circle to see happy fresiue.
How few faults are there seen by us
which we have not ourselves committed.
If a man be gracious and courteous to
strangers, it shows he is citizen of the
world, and that his heart is no island cut
off from other hearts, but a continent
that joins them.
Words that are often used together be-
come associated in the mind, and unless
we resist the force Of verbal association we
shall often say something different from
what we mean.
It is difficult, I own, to blend and
unite tranquility in accepting, and ener-
gy in using the facts Of life. But it is
not impossible: if it be, it is impossible to
be happy.
No man can succeed in all his under
takings, and itwould not be we'll for him
to do so. Things easily acquired go east
~. 1t is by the struggles it costs that
we learn to rightly estimate the value.
