Sugar Statistics.

The ordinary sugar of commerce is
made from sugar cane and beets. There
is very little difference in the quality OF
the two varieties. The bulk of the cane
sugar is grown in the tropical regions OF
North and South America, the East and
West India Islands. British India and
Southern China. The beet sugar is pro-
duced chiefly in France, Germany, Rus
sian Poland and Austria Hungary. The
relative amount of cane and beet sugar
is very nearly equal, the prospective crop
of cane sugar for the current year in
what are known as exporting countries,
being 2,44j. 600 tons, while the prospec-
tive crop of beet sugar will not be far
from o,525, 600 tons, making total
available supply for the year of 4, $50, 900
tons.
Statistics show, however, that sugar,
like some other good things in the world,
is not distributed evenly. Great Briteln
consumes more sugar per capita than any
other country, and the United States
come next in the list.
For the year 1885 the consumption of
sugar, SO far as it can be traced by rclia-
bic figures, was as follows:
Tons. Tons
United States. ,254,"00 Other European
Great Britain. !, l,203,'0) countries.... S59,Voo
France ...,. :. $4,000 Non exporting
German Empire 3G6,nOo countries. .....l ,Goe,ooo
Austria. ........ 1'S093 100 49,
Holland. ....... $4,000 Total. .5439,Oe
This statement, allowing the last years
crop to have been as great as the prospec-
tive crop for 1886, would lelve l, 149, 600
tons on hand or to have gone into con-
sumption unaccounted for. The per
capita consumption of Great Britain was
triic over 80 pounds; that of the
United States, 49.3 pounds; that of
France was scarcely 80 pounds, and that
of Germany still less. The consumption
for, the United States varies somewhat,
according to the condition Of business.
While IN 1885 it was 30.S pounds per
capita, in 1864 it was 81 aud in 1888 only

Fish Ponds in SaXOny.

In travelling through saxony, says a
correspondent, ore is struck with the
large number of 70 ds Of all sizes which
stud the fields in every direction:
" neither these ponds are the result of
accident or design, they are as carefully
tended as are the feds themselves.
They, too, are a source Of income TO the:r
owners. They tcem with carp, tench
and other fish that will thrivein sluggish
water, which arc taken out in the fall
and sold at prices ranging from 12 to 20
cents rer pound. The ponds are then
re. stocked with a young brood, which
costs from 20 cents to $1.25 per hun
dred. acc ording to 81 e. The fish are
left to shift for thems elves until they arc
a year cd, when they arc generally large
enough for the market. In winter the
ronds yield crop of ice which is readily
disposed Of at fair price. Where their
services are not require d to turn mill,
they at least serve as watering places for
the cattle, and where they are situated
near a village or hamlet they even iced
the hand engine in case Of fire. Where
these ponds are made the land taken for
the purpose generally is unsuitcd fol
other purposes.

Doublc.FOOtcd Cats,

Double footed cats arc not found every
day. Policeman Odlin had an offer of
one with six feet, to be sent from down
East. He wrote that he didn't want it.
He had cats enough. The other day in
opening his front door cat came in.
Each of her fore paws was plainly sub.
divided into two separate, well marked
feet, making six feet in all. 1t is not
the same cat that his relatives had writ
ten to him about 1t is altogether another.
The cat has lived with them ever since.
They can't drive her away if they would.
Double footed cats are good sign, say

1.-THE experience Of DR.. Clark is not

are suffering from what they think is Con

the liver and Kidneys proven by the fact
that when these organs are restored to health
by the use Of Warmers safe cure, the con-
sumption disappears, aud so does uremic or
kidney poisoning, which causes SO many
symptoms of diseases that the human system
is subject to. The same may be said OF rheu-
matisnl, caused by an acid condition of the
system We insist upon what we Away
have claimed, if you remove the cause, tho
system will soon perfect the tUorE already

ANEW VIEW OF CONSUMPTION.
And One which Appeals TO Common Sense
MnnY Curn BILE Cases.
Medical Sfiitis.).

(Hedicdt SffuSO.
"Many persons die Of Consumption whit
could easily be cured" says DIR. S. s. Clark,
OF Watertown, N. Y, "f they would go a,
it right I have new view If the disease.
Consumption is not always Of lung origin"
"How so! What is it then!"
"Many cases OF consumption are second
ary. The disease itself prevails everywhere,
but the bestt practitioners refuse to attribute!
it entirely to Inheritance or the weather. II
a person lives in the most favorable climate
in the world and has any tendency to lung
weakness, If certain conditions exist III thi
. system. that climate, however favorable,
will not prevent development Of the disease.
The disorder in such cases is only a secondary
symptom in the lungs of some other ailment,
and can never be cured until approached
through its source"
"Yes, doctor; but what is the method Of

it: do you not'"
Eyes"
"Ifyou wash this burnt finger every second
with the acid, what is the result"
.'Why, constant Inflammation, fostering
and eventual destruction of the finger"
Precisely! Now then for my method.
which commcnds itself to the reason and
judgment of every skillfnl practitioner, You
know certain aids are developed in the body.
Well if the system is all right these aids
are neutralized or utilized and carried out.
If the system is run down by excesses, anX-
iety, continual exposure or oTerworG, these
acids accumulate in the blood. If thore is
uny natural weakness in the lung, this id
attacks it, having natural affinity fol
it, and if the acid is not neutralized or passed
out of the system, it burns, ulcerates and
finally destroys the lung. Is this clear"
"Perfectly! But how do you prevent the
accumulation Of these acids in the syStemF
irregularities of the liver and kipdney:
create this excess Of acid and the supply car
be cut off only by correcting the wrong actor
of these organs. The kidneys alone SHOULD
carry out in quantity, in solution, enough o
this acid daily, which. if left in the blood
would kill four men. When the stomach, tht
liver and the kineys are all conspiring to in
crease the acid the wonder is that veal
lungs resist death as long as they do"
''But you have not told us how you woult
treat su :h cases."
"No, but will. Tho lungs are only dis
eased as an effect of this acid or kidney poi
son in the blood. After having exhausted
all authorized remedies to correct this a"lc
condition, I was compete ed, in justice to m,
patients, to use Washers safe cure: thougl

I see, by leading physicians, by Presidents
