The candy trade at the south and west
has several peculiar features. 1t is Of
enormous extent, the proverbial fondness
Of colored people for sweet things account
ing for its bigness in the south, while
through the new townships and settle
ments Of the west, the natural liking Of
man for toothsome delicacies not being
gratified by an abundant supply of fruit,
the confectioner is called upon to answer
the cravings. The greater part of the or
ders from either section is for stick can
dies. or for goods of those forms that will
not change except at a high temperature,
and for qualities that lose not their flavor
quickly. The low prices that rule In the
wholesale trade for these candies are as
tonishing. being sometimes within a frac-
ton of l cent Of the price of sugar. They
can only be accounted for on the assump-
ton that harmless and flavorless adulter-
alton Is practicsd, with the aid of glucose
and various starch products, or that more
injurious substances, terra alba and other
cheap minerals, are worked in with the
sugar.-Boston Transcript.

Apropos of Lotto, which is the rage just
now, 1t has played a very curious role in a
recent trial here. An unfortunate woman,
nearly starved to death by long years OF
privation and chronic hunger, was sus-
pected Of having murdered her aunt, a
rich old fortune-teller, and sordidly ava
ricous- The judge was seeking with all
his ingenuity to gather together the
threads Of proof Of the woman's guilt,
which he could not succeed in establish
ing, when he learned that hours after the
murder, at a moment when nobody as yet
knew what had happened. the accused
had drawn three numbers at the lottery
SO, rs, and A. Now, SO was the age of the
victim, Is the number of the house in
which she lived, and At signifies in the
credo of Toto gamblers life and death. The
judge regarded this coincidence OF num-
bers as the most overwhelming of proofs.
The wretched woman was accordingly
condemned to death.

The purpose which had brought them

my neck to day TO tell the story OF my
