NJ LADY m THE SOUTH.
Ny ladydwells in sunny lands,
She walks by trOuic seas.

Ny ladydwells in sunny lands,
She walks BY tropic seas;
know where her fair palace stands
Amid the orange trees.
The fervid-hearted pas sion flower
Blooms in her garden cover;
me orchid hlazes by her bower,
Inc palm trees wave above her.
The sky that greets her upward view
In one vast sun-lit dome,
Is like that orb's cerulean hue
In Gesu's church at Rome.
And when days glories slowly die,
And wild birds sing no more,
The southern cross then blazes high
The clouds Magellan saw.
Some day when hills are growing dark,
And when / long for rest,
I'll step aboard my little bark
And steer hertoward the west.
Aud seek my lady in the land
Where summer dies no more.
And when [ reach that tropic strand
Ny wsnd'rings will be DER.
And vet | know when cold, dark seas
Break on a wintry strand:
When snowy fields and lcailess trees
Are over all the land;
Iknow that were she with me now,
However cold and drear
The winters wind blew DER ms brow.

The "Smart Salesman"
From the Lewiston Journal.

From the Lewiston journal.
One night a sailor came into the store and
wanted to buy a blanket OF course he want
ed a cheaper one than any we had in stock and
| was afraid my mamie hadn't been here
long-wouldlet him so. Not a bit of it. He
marched him off to d lot of big horse blankets
and pointed out their size and dilated on their
merits. The sailor seemed pleased at the size
and quality, but asked what them holes were
for: Oh said my man, that's a new thing
and very popular. You Just get into your
berth and pass this belt (meaning the surcln-
gle) through those holes and fasten it around
you, and it can't slip off. We sell lots of
them, but If you don't like it we can cut it off,
The sailor didlike 1t, and paid his money and
left the store happy.
Another time we had a pair of IL r-lined
boots or shoes we could not get rid of. When
one day a young man from the country came
in and wanted something of the sort. my clerk
brought out this identical pair. The customer
was delighted and tried 'em on, but thew were
SO small they hurt him badly. NV salesman
saw the difficulty Immediately, and was as
ready as ever. Look here, stranger he said

sition, we sell lots of them The gentlemen
from the rural districts took off his STOCKINGS
and his foot slipped in beautifully. He WAS
tlckled and took the shoes, paid for them, and
went out well pleased.

too smart for his employer.

THE RING.

A heavy band of yellow gold
Around 4 finger brown and old
Engraved, yet smooth, half worn away
This halo OF a wedding day,
To her tits no secret thing,
This circlet called a wedding ring;
But ever does ii seem TO me
Prophetic OF some mystery.
Its sacred missionI adore,
1t crowned her queen in days of yore
Gave emphasis to lovers VOW,
\ trusted secret even now.
1t seems encased with magic spell;
Within its portals memories dwell
From which the world must stand apart,
Nor know the throbbings of her heart
Then why should l, though unaware
To her. lis secret ask TO share?
These are not mlne, for on her hand
She holds them clasped with golden band.
This token, then, shall ever be
Enwrapt in silent mystery;
This hand and ring shall keep untold
Tit story of the band of gold.

Notes referred to in the preceding
Memo:-The manufacture of Beet Su-
gar in Germany is generally admitted
to be at present in a very critical posi-
ton. Thatvery heavyprofits have b~sa
made in the past is undoubtedly true,
but it is equally true that at present
prices very heavy losses are being
made on some factories, whilst, even
in the most favourably placed ones,
there must be a considerable deficit.

grow their own, or receive them from
the Farmers under special conditions,
such as paying 80 pfennings per cwt.

to near their former level of 21s. to
23s. must not be expected, and in
deed it would be contrary to all exv
perience to hope for this in the cas-
Of an industry so extensively estab
lished as is now the manufacture of
Beet Sugar on the Continent, and
where so vast an amount of Capital
has been expended in the erection of
factories, and the provision Of all the
newest and most costly appliances.
But, though the Companies owning
these factories will not be able to re-
vert to the dividends of the past, they
will at least look to make a profit of
1920 to 1871 on the export of their
products-and to enable them to do
this the selling price here should range
from los. to It's. per cwt. for beet
sugar polarizing So
1t will therefore be for tie West
Indians to see whether they cannot
carry on their Estates to a profit when
Beet Sugar ranges about The price
named above, viz: los. to lis. If
they can, we do not see much reason
to fear for their future, and it need
only be for the owners of badly stu
ated and extensively managed proper
ties (Which cannot be carried on at
such q figure) to consider seriously the
ACCESSIBILITY of abandoning the sugar
cultivation for good and all. In ar
irving at the minimum cost of produc-
ton in Germany, it is of course i'm
possible to Judge how far improved
machinery and appliances may yet
tend to reduce the average cost. of
production, but any such argument ms
this may be taken as applying in IA
still greater degree to the West In
dian Sugar Estates, which are with
the exception of those Of British Guia-
MAJ so very far behind the Continental
factories in the process Of manufacture.
AS regards the bounty system, the
bonus thus paid to the manufacturer
on his exported goods has no doubt
contributed largely to the extension
Of the beet industry not only in Ger
many, but also in France and Austria.
Those interested in Cane Sugar must
look forward TO the day when Foreign
Governments will see the false policy
and aosurdity OF taxing a whole ma
ton for the benefit of q particular
class. Bounties may then become u
thing Of the past, and West Indian
Producers OF Cane Sugar will find
themselves for the first time for many
years in the position of competing i'll

nent for the express purpose OF prose-
cutting his inquiries.
The conclusions to be derived from
their perusal may be in ome measure
encouraging to those Proprietors of
West Indian Sugar Estates who may,
in consequence of the present low
prices, be meditating throwing up the
further cultivation of their proper
ties.
The present price Of Beet Sugar
polarizing SO is in London about 1888
per cwt., whilst a few weeks back
it was quoted under los and it would
seem that, ever with the assistance of
the Bounties, no beet mandatory in
Germany can deliver this sugar at
Hamburg for shipment at a cost of
less than las. per cwt. In quoting
this figure as the minimum Of cost, it
must be borne in mind that the two
manufactures visited (the statistics of
which are giyen) bear The highest re-
putation throughout Germany for eco
nomicaI and careful working and
to this it may be added that where
the correctness of the figures has been
questioned, it has been on the ground
that the actual cost of production has
been rather understated than other
wise.
1t would appear therefore that we
may safely rely uoo the fact that
from the best manufactures beet can
not be exported at a less cost than las.
per cwt. after allowing for the bounty
received through the present draw
back system, whilst the average figure
throughout Germany generally may
be taken at 15s. to los. per cwt.
The cost Of Beet Sugar in London
polarizing IS has for years previous
to the present crisis ranged from 2ls.
to 23s. per cwt., and assuming as
above that the cost to the Producer
has not exceeded 15s. per cwt., it will
at once be seen how large must have
been the profits Of the past, and hat
it is to these that the present over pro-
duction and consequent depression in
prices must be attributed. In these
profits the Farmers have also particI-
pated by having an interest in the
manufactures, in addition to whatever
profit they may have made by grow
ing the roots, and although The latter
may not have been very large, still at
the prices hitherto paid for them, the
land has probably given him a better
return than would have been the case
with wheat &c. The price hitherto
paid to the Farmers for the roots has
been about 80 ~pfennings Q1d.) to 1
marc 20 pfennings Us. 29d.) per cwt.,
but owing to the present state Of the
sugar market, all agitation is now 60
ing on to reduce the cost of the raw
material, and it is said that IN some
instances a reduction of as much as
500o is asked for. Now, as in some
parts of Germany the farmers main
tain that it does not pay them TO grow
roots Irrespective of any profit from
the mandatory ever at 1 mark per
cwt., it is hardly likely that the ma
%nufacturer can promise them any such
