American Sugar.

The time is approaching very evident
lvwhen the manufacture of sugar in this
republic will reach sufficient magnitude
to supply the whole country. Our terri
tory is so extensive and the temperature
so varied that there is scarcely anything
consumed by man that it will not fur
nish, when the intricacies OF the art ot
producing it is once sufficiently well I'M
derstoOd. We do not say that the sugar
supply will come from bects, though to
some extent, and a very large extont, 1t
may, and we hope will. But more like
it will be the product OF sorghum and
the amber cane, which would seem to be
less costly in the way Of labor. Sugar
from beets can undoubtedly he made OF
US excellent quality as any produced
from any other material, but we fear not
30 cheaply. Labor is the great draw
back; this being so much more econom'
ically supplied in France and Germany
than in the United States readily nc
counts for the success OF beet-suBar
making there; and it seems that 1t will
always continue to be 50, ut least SO
long as this discrepancy in the price OF
labor exists, Should we be able, how
ever, to counterbalance this by increased
product OF the beet per acre, or by i'm
proved machinery, or from any other
cause not now developed, the aspect OF
things may be changed. The factory In
Delaware is experimenting perhaps more
intelligently tnan any other that has
been established in this country, and the

And that my love has only deeper grown
In all that time that we have lived apart
Some day when you have slipped away from caro-,
And idly fall TO dreaming OF the past,
And sadly think Of all your life has missed,
Nou will remember my true love at last
Or 1t may come to pass, Somo dreary night
After day that has been hard to bear,
When you are weary, heart-sick and fororn,
And there is none to comfort or to caro-,

OF tender kisses falling soft and light
Or restful touches smoothing of your hair,
And sweet words spoken for your hearts delight
Oh then you will remember and be glad
That have kept you In my heart,
And that your hearts true home will still be there

Indigestion

Among our vegetables are those con

watercl nsSes, rudishes, mustard and
cress, etc. Their use should be Stunned
by people of weak digestion. If they
are not dlgested they produce sulphur

Celery is salutary vegetable; so are
some roots. Carrots and parsnips, il
thoroughly cooked, will be better digest
ed than turnips, as the latter also con-
tain much sulphur. Steaming these
vegetables is far better than boiling
them, and preserves the sugar i'll them.
All fbrous materials should lie avoided.
such as cabbage-stalks, green leaves
with strong or coarse tibers, green beans
with tibrous skins, etc. Whatever is
used OF vegetables must be thoroughly
well cooked and reduced to pulp with
out losing its nourishing properties.
Steaming, wherever it can be employed,
is, therefore, better than boiling. Salads
can only be used sparingly, made of
dainty head lettuce, the leaves having
been well picked. Cucumber can never
be eaten raw, but, if stewed, it is di-
gestible. Of fruits the berries are the
best. Strawberries eaten with sugar or
raspbcrrics Hre better than currnnts
oranges are good, eaten without the
skins; apples or pears must be eaten
sparingly, and are best stewed with
sugar and Il little spice. Oranges ought
to be avoided unless eaten without the
pulp lemons, however, may do good it
warm water and sugar. Nuts are Ell
tire Y to be done away with. OF vege-
table beverages we have tea, coffee and
cocoa to consider. There is no doubt
that tea has refreshing influence on
the digestive organs If used moderately
and not in too strong an infusion. II is
better, however, not to use it in the
morning for weak digestion, as it will
stimulate too soon and rather weaken
than strengthen the flow of the gastric
JUICE at that time. One cup OF { n
day is all that can be allowed for the
dyspcptc. Coffee, when well roasted,
is made strengthening i'll its effect, but
it must not be taken too strong and,
more than this, it must not have been
boiled, but only have had the infusion

desired, and that inferior coilces might
be made more useful than they are il

Lime.Preserved Wood.

Lime has been found successful as
wood-preserver. The method, which is
French, consists in piling tho planks in
large tank, then covering them with
auicklime and shaking them with water.
The timber requires about week to be
thoroughly impregnated with the lime
water before it is taken out OF pickle
and slowly dried. The entrance OF the
mineral PARTICLES into the grain also rem
ders the wood harder and denser than
before. Beech wood, for example, be-
comes like oak, and, without losing the
elasticity that fits it for tool-handles, il
far more durable than oak. BE-.

AL Engli.h studr Of our Oensus.

In a recent number Of the London
Times there appears the following ana
lysis Of the United States census. Tho
views Of the .e.Thuuderer" upon our
changes will be read with interest by
all intelligent Americans: r.f :.
The population Of the United States
was last hummer so. 152, 866, Of whom
43,475, 500 were n~ative-born. The pro-
portion Of the foreign-born inhabitants.
6,677. $50 in number, to the whole is
much less than il was ut the date of the
last enumeration in 1870; for while the
total population has increased within
tho decade by about SO per cent. the
increase Of the foreign-born citizens
amounts only to Is per cent. The lat
tier formed In 1870 nearly IL per cent
OF the whole, and in 1880 only some
what moro than 10 per cent. These
facts bear eloquent witness to the nat
ural reproductive capacity Of tho Ameri-
can people. At the same time It must
not be forgotten that the children OF
the emigrants are reckoned among ma
lives. Hardly less noteworthy are the
variations in the proportions OF native
born to foreign-born citizens among
tho several States. In tho Far West
the foreign. element is the strongest,
constituting 20 per cent of the whole
population in Nevada, and from that
maximum, in o descending scale down
to 81 per cent. in Arizona, Dakota,
Minnesota, and California New
York has only 81 per cent, Pennsyl-
vanin 16 per cent, Ohio IA per cent.
1t Is remarkable that in 81 OF, the States
and Territories the natural increase has
gained during the decade upon the in
crease by immigration, while in ~ inn
migration has outstripped natural in
crease. The foreign element has been
most attracted. contrary to some pre-
valent conjectures, by the manufact-
ures Of New England tho ncwly devcl-
oped wheat fields Of Dakota and Ore
gon, and the mineral wealth Of Colora-
do, Nevada, and New Mexico. To the
Middle States--Pennsylvania and her
neighbors-coal and iron mining has
brought large numbers OF Irish. Ger
mans, French, Canadians, and Welsh.
To the Northwest, where agriculture Is
everything. the currents OF immigra-
ton have been chiefly from Germany
and Scandinavia. To the South, not
w~ithstanding the field for enterprise
left open by the results Of war, scarcely
any percptible immigration has been
directed. II, however. tho South has
little or nothing of the foreign-born
