Game Sugar PROSPECTS.

All danger Of the old-fashioned West
India cane being superseded as a sugar
producing article by the beet or sorghum
appears to be past. The beet sugar in
dustry, which was abnormally stimulated
ty large bounties in Europe, is evidently
on the decline, and there Is not much
probability that it will soon revive and re-
gain the Importance it possessed only IA
year or two ago. The sorghum sugar ex-
pertinent at Franklin, Tenn, about which
there was such a craze last year, has
proved a disastrous failure, and it is
stated that the company which displayed
so mUcn ill-directed enterprise in inaugu-
rating the experiment will lose almost its
entire capital of $4,000.
The conditions under which the expert
ment in sorghum sugar making at Frank
lin was inaugurated were quite favorable.
The soil and climate were all that could
be desired, from eight to sixteen tons of
the richest sorghum being grown to the
acre. The trouble was that the ma.
chnery and process adopted were made
quate TO the converting Of the sorghum
into sugar at cost that would enable any
profit to be realized. In fact, the sugar
cost much more than 1t could be sold for,
and the superintendent Of the establish
ment soon quit trying to make sugar, and
the plant was devoted the balance Of the
season TO syrup making, although there
was no profit in that article.
II will be many years before sorghum
can ever be a rival of the West India
cane, if it ever can be, and it is probable
that the decline in the beet sugar indus
try will be greater during the next year
than it was the last Altogether the cane
sugar interest is looking up again. The
despair which was so general in the sugar
planting sections a few months ago, has
given way to decided hopefulness.
This would, perhaps, be a good time for
many planters in the South who have not
heretofore devoted their lands to the pro.
duction of sugar cane, 20 plant it ON a
small scale, and with view to the pro-
duction OF seed cane and ths eventual
production Of sugar. II the people OF the
United states must depend on cane sugar
for their supply, there seems now 10 be no
reason why the bulk Of that commodity
consumed in the country should not be
produced within it's limits.

Violin Making.
4 SENSIBLE HEALTH OFFICIAL,
From the Wew York Sun


An instructive discussion has arisen
in some of the musical journals in re-
gard to the making of violins. Mr..
Schradieck of the Cincinnati College
of Music, an excellent performer upon
the violin, thinks that the secret Of the
old Cremona makers has been discov-
cred, and that it consists in using for
their instruments the wood Of tree
containing balsam. This tree, he says,
used to be planted in the neighborhood
Of Cremona, but it is no longer to be
found in Italy But at last the mar
vel1ous tree was found III; this country,
and one was felled and sent to Cincin-
natl. Mr.. Schradieck does not tell
whether it was q pine, a spruce, or fir,
all Of which yield balsam, but
the wood, he says, is brittle
like glass and flies into shlvers.
Even when cut the way Of the fibre, it
breaks off. and is 50 hard that the tools
used to cut become bluntei very rapid
". Yet, vioiins made Of it are, he
thinks. equal to the best Cremonas 300
years old.
The other SIDE or the discussion IS
taken up BY Mr.. George Gemunder Of
Astoria. He AYERS that none Of the
great Cremona makers made yiolins Of.
any sort Of balsam wood, and that the
real secret of the quality possessed b.
their inst does not lie so much
in the kind Of material emplo in
their construction, as IN the proper
forms and proportions of the different
parts Of the instrument. It is, Of course,
Important that the right kind Of ma
sterial should Be used, but the secret Is
not il the wood.

Beautiful and Fascinating.

A Washington letter to the Boston Journal
says: Senator n c. Butler Of South Carolina
is the handsomest man who has been here this
winter. The women enthuse over him and
court him, but he has been used to that sort
of thing since he wore ourls and said his
prayers at his mothers knee, and accepts their
homage with such grace and dignity that it
disarms criticism. He married a woman
seven years older than himself, who was at
the time a beauty, and with whom he was
much in love. She has Titan red hair, lovely
features, a perfect figure, and exquisite hands
and feet, and is the daughter ola house whose
race has been distinguished for generations in
politics as in the social world-blue- blooded,
rich, and talented. He has two daughters, one
of them debutante, and three sons, the sec
ond . graduate Of Princeton College, and now
Vice Consul at Liverpool, Eng, who inherits
his fathers exceeding beauty and fascination,
and who also has brilliant, talent Senator
Buffers mother was sister of Commodore
Perry of Lake Erie fame, and he bears strik-

gagement is illustrated in high coiors"
