sT correspondent of the New York
World interviewed nearly one hundred
farmers who attended the Changers pic
mic at Williams Grove, Pa, recently, on
the subject of tariff reform, and if the men
questioned were taken at random, as is
claimed, the result is rather remarkable.
Hardly one in the whole list can be found
who is not in favor of some reduction OF
customs duties, while it is noticeable that
the great majority hold very pronounced
views as to the need of radical reforms in
the Federal system of taxation. Signs
are not wanting to show that the farmers,
not alone in the Protectionist stronghold
of Pennsylvania, but in Massachusetts
and elsewhere, have been giving the ques:
ton much study for some time past, and
may surprise the politicians in the way
they vote.

CONSUMPTION PER CAPITA IN THE UNITED
STATES OF TEA, COFFEE AND sIrGAR

Little is shown in the tables above

tion of coffee and OF tea has steadily
increased with the continued and GEN
eral prosperity Of the country, and
that sugar alone is the recording bar.
ometer of industrial changes.
The production of sugar in the
United States has kept pace with the
great increase in consumption. For
commercial purposes in the United
States, sugar is obtained from the
sugar-cane, sorghum-cane, beet-root
the maple tree and from maize. In
the statistics given, all kinds OF
sugar, as well as that manufac-
tured from molasses, are in, luded
in the total product. Since 1870, from
something over 100000, 900 pounds.
the domestic production of sugar has
risen to over 50O,0OO,O 900 pounds.
During the past ten years the imports
have increased from about 1,35O, ,OOO.-
900 pounds to $500, ,OOO, 900, while the
exports for the same period have in
creased fro 70 about 43 3,00O,0 900 to over
175, 100000 pounds.
Nearly nlne-ten'hs of the exports of
sugar from the United States 90 to
Great Britain, and the enormous in
creases OF the exports in recent years,
as compared to previous wears. is
largely due to the change of ihe tar;ff
in 1888.
Sugar increases the revenue Of the
the United States about OOOO,O 900 a
year, and the per capita tax is about
80 cents per annum. MIX

Turner will be quite as successful on
behalf of the sane. DR.. Bennett, who
is in charge of the female depart
ment OF the Morristown Hospi-
tai for the insane, has done won-
ders for the hapless beings con-
fined within its walls. She has
with the most salutary results
established a Reading Club, Dick
ems Club, and Literary Club, each
of which hold weekly meetings
and which are profoundly en-
joyed by the patients. She
has introduced pianos into ten
different wards, as well as dancing
and other games. A large number Of
the inmates are employed in the laun-
dry and in the sewing room, while the
church and Sunday school are largely
and quietly attended, and the art de-
partment recently annexed is a source
OF great delight to the poor creatures
whose tastes run in that direction. BY
thus directing them, DR.. Bennett man
ages to control the most violent case,
and thereby to rob insanity of half OF
its horrors. But the poor and over
worked need wholesome diversion
too; for monotony is some times as
bad as straight jacket, and leads to
the prison instead of the mad-house.

A SWEET STUDY.
The Consumption of Sugar an In
dcX of I'm d N rial COnditIOnS.

Some idea may be formed OF the
part which sugar plays in the econo-
mics of every day life when it is con-
sidered that in Great Britain, where
sugar is sold at a lower price than in
any other country, over fifty cents are
expended in sugar for every dollar in
wheat. In the U nited States the ex-
pendure is still higher, and averaging
the past few years, for every dollar
expended in wheat, eighty cents were
expended in sugar. 1t may be
held, therefore, that the annual
consumption of sugar is fair ex-
ponent of the G eneral conditions OF
labor and of trade in almost any
nation. 1t specifically applies to the
United States where sugar is not used
as necessary substitute for more
costly food and Of which the con-
sumption may and does increase with
the ability Of the people to supply
their wants more fully.
From 1850 up to 1886, a period COW
ering alike crisis and war, the con-
sumption of sugar per capita increas-
ed in the United States from 1858
pounds to 533 pounds. The statistics
show that the per capita consumption
rose to 33 pounds in 1853 and fell to
1888 pounds in 1857, a year of finan-
cial depression In the subsequent
period of general prosperity preceding
the war, when labor was bet
ter employed and rewarded
than ever before, the consumption
per capita, rose to $3.50 pounds per
capita in 1859, and fell with the out
break OF the war in 1861 to 2S .96
pounds, varying thereafter from 80. .66
pounds in 1862 to 2444 pounds in
1864, and 32.3S pounds in 1865. Thus
the dark and bright years of the great
struggle were faithfully recorded.
After the war, with the readjust-
ment of industries, the consumption
per capita rose from the low ebb of
25.ll pounds in 1867 to 43 81 pounds
in 1875. In third period, beginning
with the resumption of specie paw.
ments, the consumption per capita
rose from 35.2 pounds in 1878 to So 8
pounds in 1886. A closer analy-
sis of the statistics of con-
sumption of sugar will demonstrate
that such consumption is a
measure to a nicely of industrial
condition, and, for the purpose oi
comparison, the table under is given
covering recent period, the indus
trial situation of which are fresh in
memory.

Old Maids,

The term old maid is a misnomer
unless applied to peculiar or prudish
woman. To be sure it is not the lovely
women to whose names Mrs. is not ap-
piled, who object either to the single
character of their blessedness, or to
being called Miss. 1t is, on the other
hand, the unlovely women whose
faith has been shaken or who were
coq'letish too long, who have an un-
mitigated horror OF being called old
maids. Of course there is
nothing musical about the title,
while its association with shrill
voices, cork-screw curls and limp
shirts is anything but poetical. But
inasmuch as there is never an effect
without a cause, why is it that so
much odium has attached itself to
single women? There are two funda-
mental reasons. One is the accepted
opinion that an attractive woman
must of necessity be a wife, and the
other is the blighting influence which
a lonely life exerts upon a woman's
nature. Yet if she can preserve
in her solitude the memory of the
lover who perished at sea, and for
whose dear sake she is willing to for
ever live alone or if she can keep in
mind the recollections of the happi.
ness she put aside because her duties
to her parents or her brothers and
sisters demanded the sacrifice; she
will ten chances to one, preserve her
sweetness and her charms long after
the bloom has faded from her cheeks,
and the luster has departed from hes
eye. 1t is the fruit in which the can
ker is at work that decays the first.
