Glucose.

The enormous importance of glucose,
or starch sugar, as an article of com
meree is a new thing in the history of
sweets. Glucose is a product of the
chemists art. 1t was discovered that
starch acted on by sulphuric acid, the
acid then nentralized by chalk, and the
resulting liquid filtered and evaporated,
would produce a sweet substance which
the chemists term grape sugar, starch
sugar or glucose. 1t can he used as an
adhlterant of sugar and syrups, can be
utilized by the confectioner, and is itself
an article of food, such as it is. and can
be cheaply produced. Within q dozen
years its manufacture 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 for
eign sugars, find in the glucose makers
OF the North and West powerful allies
against the ffee introduction of foreign
sugars. The corn sugar and the cane
sugar makers, at first enemies, have be-
come allies and now work side by side
and mix their products for mutual ben
eft.
Anything that contains starch is capa-
BILE of producing glucose. Without at
tempting 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 certain atoms of
carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Desig-
mating these elementary bodies by the
initial letters of their names, and the
number of atoms of each combination
by figures, one a briefly write the
formulary of the different sorts of SUI
gars. Thus

Character Of the Population of
Jamaica.

The population of the island of ia
maica is unmitigated "nigger"-or rath-
er mitigated Niger" with a graduation
of mitigations. The problem of the ANAL
gamation of races of miscegenation-is
in a fair way toward solution. Every
shade of color except white fourisLe>
luxuriantly. Africans Of the purest
ebcTiy jostlt against the tawny skinned
islander who, in turn, elbows the. dcs-
cendant of the Garth, maybe eft iIie In
cas-. Universal equality reigns in this
favored island. At a dinner party you
may find yourself sandwhiched between
gems de coulear of motley hue. The coal
black, or tar-type, however, is seldom
found very high up in the social scale.
All Jamaica negroes have one particular
ambition" to raise their COLOR as the
expression is /; to marry somebody u lit
tie paler, on of a lighter drab or Will, less
pronounced features than themselves.
The women glory in babies whittier than
their " mammies and it is said that
they are not particularly scrupulous
about the accomplishment of the bleach
ing process. | am here of course speak
ing of the colored element, which has in
termarried with the Samitic and other
exotic races that have come to live
among them, and produced the confu-
sion Of tongues and skins that strikes
you as you land at the quais. The jew
ish element is very strong and very
rich. Moses married an Ethiopian wo-
man, perhaps they argue; why not I?

Now it will be seen from the above
that cotton is equal to three atoms of
starch. The chemist by treating cotton
with snlphuric acid can convert it into
c~ellulose, which is very neal akin to
glucose, and could be used for the same
purposes, SO that from the ragpicker
and the garbage pile a substitute for
sugar may be gathered, but not all the
chemists can make any of these fabrica-
tions equal to cane sugar, which has
some Godgiyen qualities which man
can only initiate, but not eqnal.-N. 0.

How to learn to Swim.

Wade out until the water is upto your
breast, then turn your face towards the
shore, and try to swim towards it. Yon
know that the water between you and
the shore is not owe your depth, as you
have just waded through. it; this will
give you confidence to strike out.
Confidence is IL great help in learning.
The chief use of the variuus aids in
learning, the swimming plank, cniks or
the presence Of an older person, il 10
give the learner confidence. A plank
a few feet long, OIL which the beginner
can place enc or both hands, is some
times of use. Corks or life preservers
of any kind, that are fastened 10 the
body, ve do not think much of. One
needs but very little adm fact no aid
lin order to keep his head above water,
if he only has confidence. If IN older
brother or other friend sill hold his
hand In such a manner tjiat yon can
rest .yolr chin uren lt, You can Snon
learn the proper movement Of the arns
and legs. Another method is to have n
strap or band of webbing or other ma
terial around the chest, just under the
arms. A few feet of stout cord has one
end attached to the band, and the other
end fastened TO a light stout pole. In
this manner a strong person cal help
tho learner while standing on the land.
The chief use of this continuance is to
give the beginner confidence. Those who
undertake to aid a boy id learning to
swim, should resist all temptation to
play tricks. No matter how slight a
ducking may be given, it startles the
learner, aud he is thereafter fearful that
it may be repeated.-American 1gri-
