a stop here of over an hour, but the car

did not go into the depot at all.
TOLEDO, o., Oct. 13.-A brief stop
was made at Prospect, where. while
Mr.. Blaine was bowling his ac-
acknowledgements to the people assem-
bled, TWO very old men veteran Repub.

fifty days old.
He was a lieutenant in the last war

John Jones, a native of Wales, but a
resident Of this country since 1918. He
is now in his ninetieth year. Beth

and Mr.. Blaine remarked afterward
that they had Rrasped his hand firmly.
They both assured him that they ex-
pected to see him elected President OF

Kind reception. The old gentleman

three millions of people, it has now
about sixty millions. He was borI

When Sugar Was Invented.
[Clinton Montague in The Household.

(Clinton Montague in The Household.
The exact date of the inveu ton of
sugar is lost in the mist of fable How
ever, sugar is said to have been known
to the Chinese 5000 years ago, and
there is not much doubt but that the
manufacture OF the article was carried
on under the Tsin dynasty 20o years
before Christ. A strong claim for
priority has been made for India. Prob
ably the Hindoos learned the art from
the Chinese, and from India the knowl-
edge was carried further west.
Three hundred and twenty-five years
3. c., Alexander sent Nearchus with a
large feet down the Indus to explore
the adjacent countries. When that
officer returned from his expedition, he
brought to Greece an account of honey,
Sugar which the Asiatjcs made from
cane, without any assistance from bees.
This was the earliest idea the western
nations had of sugar, the Jews, Egypt
ians, Babylonians and Greeks knowing
nothing of its use. AS late as A. ID.
$50, sugar was prescribed by Galen, the
famous physician, as a medicine.
Before the discovery of America,
sugar was costly luxury, used only on
rare occasions During TIE WAS of the
Roses, about 1855, Margaret Pastor,
wife of a wealthy country ntieman Of
Norfolk, wrote to her husband, begging
that he would 'vouchsafe" to send her
pound of sugar. AS late as the year
1700, all England consumed only 90
00o, 600 pounds in the course of the year,
but since the consumption has greatly
increased, 20,00O,00o hundred weight
now being used by the English people.
The process of refining sugar was
not known in England previous to 1859.
That was probably an invention OF the
Arabs. A Venetian merchant learned
the secret from the Saraeens Of Sicily.
and sold the art for 100000 crowns.

Varieties OF Wood Pulp.
[Chicsgo Tribune

In the first stages of the manufacture
of wood pul for paper, poplar was re-
gan ded as prominently ada ted for the
purpose, and for considerable time it
was thought that only that wood, bass
wood, and a few other kinds could be
ground into suitable pulp. Now,
however, machines are made which turn
out pulp with equal facility from all
kinds OF wood. The longest fibre is
made IRON willow, Eastwood and poplar
ranking next, respectively. Cedar, fir,
and hemlock are said to work about
alike; maple has a fibre shorter than
that of either spruce or pine, and is
quite hard to grind; birch is very hard
and grinds quite short, Poplar and
buckeye pulps remain white for con
siderable time, other woods changing
color; birch becomes pink, maple turns
purple, and Eastwood takes on reddish
hue.

[San Francisco Chroniclel
China's foreign trade for 1882 was
100000, 900, OF which England's share
was $5S, 100000, or, if we add to this
the value OF the trade with Hongkong,
India, the Australian and other British
colonies, the total British trade comes
to S157 100000, quite three fourths of
the whole trade OF China. The United
States comes next in order, with trade
of $16,614,V00, while the whole of con.
tinental Europe, Russia excepted, is put
down for only SIS, 100000. Russia
trade with China amounted to about
one-fourth of the last mentioned sum.
AS to shipping, of the l7,3S8,S52 tons
which entered and cleared the various
ports in 1882 there were under the Brit
ish flag as many as 10,S14.799 tons,
while only 1881 were French. The
Chinese themselves had total tonnage
of ships and junks of 1888, 1863 tons.
Thus it appears, says The Baltimore
Sun, that il France has little to gain bv

much to lose

fall from his hand, his head dropped
upon his chest, like that of man
whose hopes were withered at single
blow. Duncan caught the letter from
the ground, and, without apology for
the liberty he took, read at a glance its
cruel purport. Their common super
Tor, so far from encouraging them to
resist, advised speedy surrender,
urging in the plainest language, as a
reason, the utter impossibility of his
sending single man to their rescue.
