GLUCOSE.

The enormous importance of glucose, or
starch sugar, as an article of is a
new thing in the history Of sweets. Glu-
cose is a product of the chemists art. IL
was discovered that sta rch acted on by sui
phuric acid, the acid then neutralized by
chalk, and the resulting liquid filtered and
evaporated, would produce a sweet substance
which the chemists term grape sugar, starch
sugar or glucose. Ii can be used as an adult
Grant of sugar and syrups, can be utilized by
the confectionSr, and is itself an article of
food. such as it is. and can be cheaply pro-
duced. Within a dozen years its msnufac.
ture has grown into enormous proportions,
and has become so important a commercial
interest that the sugar planters of the South
in their struggle to maintain the tariff on
foreign sugars, find in the glucose makers Of
the North and West powerful allies sgainst
the free introduction of foreign sugars. The
corn sugar and the cane sugar makers, at
first enemies, have become allies. and now
work side by side and mix their products for
mutual benefit
Anything that contains starch is capable
Of producing glucose. Without attempting
to go into technical details let us look into
the curious facts of the chemistry of sugar.
An atom of cane sugar is composed of cer-
tain atoms Of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Designating these elementary bodies by
the initial letters of their names, and the
number Of atoms of each combination by
figures, one can briefly write the formulary
of the different sorts Of sugars. Thus:

The Value of an Immigrant.

Every immigrant becomes a taxpayer, and at
the expiration of his contract may become a
larger TAXPAYER. He and his family are creators
OF wealth. They are producers and their Ia
/ Dor is wealth. II is estimated in America and in
other new countries. that every industrious i'm
migrant Is worth al least $500 TO the country. 1t
has cen estimated as high as $500. A good
horse Is worth $3.50. An industrious Iaborer
should be worth $500. 1t NAV be roughly es-
timated that the 473 Portuguese brought in dur
ing the last two years, pay taxes TO the amount
of 81 800. This amount OF 81, 500 represents a
valuation of $50, 600, while the total cost TO the
Government of importing them including women
and children was only So, So. 20. The I55
Portuguese residents of Honolulu paw real estate
and personal taxes Excluding poll. school and
road tax) Of So, 19S. This is & taxation on prom
value Of the property of each Portuguese in this
city about 3, 500. If the Portuguese immi-
grants now entering the Kingdom shall amass
property IN a similar way. it will be a most
profitable experiment for the Government to pay
the CENTRE passages of all immigrants from
Portugal. If the 1,277 males imported during
the last two years are worth $500 apiece, the to-
tai value to the country is 1888, 100, while the
cost OF importing them, including women and
children was only $50, 075. 50. The 5, 1888 males
imported into the Kingdom during the last two
years should be valued in their wealth producing
capacity at $500 each or 81, 40, 900. In this
estimate the value of the laborer only is taken.
No account is taken OF any poperty which he
may acquire, nor of the labor of his wife and
children, Every immigrant who pays an annual
tax of $500 is worth $500 to the Nation, as
that sum would if it were real or personal prop
erty pay a tax of $500 or l per cent. Every la
borer consumes at least S70.0 90 in food and cloth
ing, which sum goes to merchants who pay taxes
npon it, and the value of his labor may be ss-
timated at $3.50 per annum, in the production of
sugar or rice, substances which are are also
taxed. 1t is therefore apparent that there is no
more profitable investment than in the intro
duction of laborers, and that money judiciously
returns.--From the Report of the Board of I'm
1882.

The Health of the Town.

Mr.. EDITOR The Hawaiian Islands enjoy
the reputation of being healthy, and SO, beyond a
doubt, they are. Invalids come down here to
regain health and strength, and are almost al
ways benefited by the climate. Residents do
not complain of being sick, and though ones
system seems to be peculiarly susceptible to
changes in the weather, yet, upon the whole, we
all enjoy life here.
With all this it is astonishing what sums are
yearly paid to our physicians. A computation
has been made of the probable yearly income of
those practicing medicine in Honolulu, and of
the cost of medicines prescribed by them, and
charges for medical attendance are not exorbitant,
but are about the same as in other countries,
while the dealers in drugs and medicines will
tell you that they sell at a bare living profit.
The total population OF Honolulu is say,
IL, 900; of which number more than one-half are
treated to medicine and advice gratuitously,
leaving the other seven or eight thousand to pay
the doctors. This they do without a murmur.
recognizing the value of the services rendered
by the skillful gentlemen they call in to make
them well. May it not be that in very many
cases if the amount paid the doctor had been
used in the purchase of a filter the sickness
might have been avoided? In the lower part of
the town, especially where the pressure on the
water pipes is the greatest, can the water that is
conducted to taps through lead pipes be other
than poisonous? Ask your medical man what is.

GENERAL CO1LI, late United States Minister
Resident in these Islands, takes his departure
for his home by the outgoing steamer Australia,
due here on Monday next. During the five years
Of the Generals residence here, he has won, by
his urbanity of manner. both in official and
private life, the esteem Of all. Ever mindful Of
the dignity and power of the nation he has
represented, he has sustained in the often deli
cate and-alvays responsible duties ofhoisf &c
the entente eordidle that so happily exists between
this Kingdom and the Republic.
General Comfy has always been known as q
warm and consistent advocate of the perpetua-
ton Of the treaty relations existing between his
Government and our own, and fully deserves the
thanks Of this people for what be has written
and spoken Of the beneficial operation of the
treaty Of reciprocity. At no time during the
past thirty years has the United States Govern
ment accredited a representative TO the Court
and Government Of this country who has shown
himself better fitted for the duties of the post
than the retiring Minister We speak authori-
lively when we aver that he has won the warm
regard of the King and the Royal family, and
has received such assurances of this distin-
guished consideration, as well as of the aloha felt
for himself and his family by all classes and
nationalities in this community, that We are con-
hdsnt he will look back upon his official and
social life here with unalloyed pleasure.
We would repeat our farewell to General
his future career will be watched with inter-
est by all who have known him here, in the we'll
founded hope that he will always be found in
the future what he has been proved himself TO
e in the past, the friend and vell-wisher of
Hawaii-nei.

Now it will be seen from the above that
