Sugar.

The Chinese, who invented almost
everything before anybody else heard
of it, claim to be the original discover
ers of the process of sugar-making,
and it is said that sugar was used in
China as long ago as 5000 years. This
is misty, but the fact is we'll establish
ed that it was manufactured in China
under Tsin dynasty 200 years at least
before the Christian era begun. India
has put forward a claim for priority in
invention, but the probability is that
the Hindoos learned the art of sugar
making from the Chinese and that
through them the knowledge finally
spread to the Western nations. Near
chus, when sent by Alexander on an
exploring voyage on the Indus, brought
back reports of ''honey" which was
made by the Asiatics from cane with
out the help of bees. At this time
neither the Greeks nor the Jews nor
the Babylonians had any knowledge of
sugar, but later the art of making the
artificial "honey'' became known and
practiced, though its progress and de-
velopment was exceedingly slow. It
was prescribed as medicine by Galen
in A. D. $50, and up to the 18th CEN
fury it had become nothing more than
a costly luxury, to be used only on
special occasions. Even as late as the
beginning of the 18th century the
annual consumption of sugar in Great
Britain had reached only 10000. 900
pounds, whereas it is now more than
1900. 600, 600 pounds. Refined sugar
was not made in England till 1859.
The art of refining was learned by a
Venetian merchant from the Saracens,
who sold the secret to him for 1OO, 600
crowns.-Good Housekeeping.

A Gard Of Thanks.

A very impressive incident occurred
at the Christian church in this city,
on Lords day morning, Nov. Sd, 1889,
just before the administration of the
Lords Supper. Elder Keenan,, the
poster of the church, called Miss Kate
Keller to. come to the front of the aud
fence, and in few appropriate re
marks, thanked her for the good work
she had rendered in securing for the
use of the church a beautiful silver
set, which now becomes
the property of the church. The con-
gratefully accepts the silver
service, and tenders thanks to
Miss Keller, and the generous
toward the handsome
present. 1t was also ordered that this
incident be placed on the records of
the church, and a card of thanks to
the public be given to the papers of
the city for publication. Xxx

An Account That Reads Like q Leaf from
Medieval Chronicle.
The description of Prince Nikolaus'
recent return from St. Petersburg
to his loyal subjects in Montenegro
reads like a leaf from a medieval
chronicle. The princeling had made
a visit in the Russian capital for
the purpose of letting the Gar of
all Russians pat him him on the
back. After according the princeling
the proper amount of embracing,
bullying, and feting. which usually
take place between big and little SOW
ereigns, the Gear started him home on
the imperial yacht Grief. The prince
ling landed at Cattaro, mounted a
horse, and with few of his most i'm
portant officials, rode off toward Mon
tenegro. while his family and attend
ants followed in carriages. At the
border vast crowd of his subjects
awaited him. AS soon as he came in
sight they shouted and cheered and
thanked God that he had lived to come
back to them. just on the boundary
line the princeling dismounted. uncov-
"a GU, AhoAO Vic SlS Ii Va VIC VI Ooo 60
times, and prayed. Every one in the
vast crowd before him did the same.
At the close of his prayer the prince
ling put on his hat. Every one in the
crowd did the same. Then the prince
ling shouted:
'God help you. men of Montenegro"
Welcome is your return, 0 Prince"

''How goes the world with you, o
brOthers?" asked the princeling.
what is the news in my beloved
Montenegro? How is your health?
How are the crops? Does the drought
again threaten them?"
While the crowd were answering
these inquiries the carriage of the
royal family crossed the border. The
shouting and we'll wishing which had
greeted the princeling were repeated.
The Princess Militia, was received
with the loudest cheers of all. and
many of the men in the crowd kissed
her hand, the first hand they had ever
kissed in their lives. for in Montenegro
it is customary for the women to kiss
the hand of the men.-London Times.

The Baby at the Photograph.

Edison has recorded on his phono-
graph the indignant wall of his baby.
At the laboratory one day the inventor
complained that the baby disturbed
him so that he could not work at
home.
''Why don't you put her at the phon-
ographp" inquired Mr.. Wangeman, his
assistant, mischievously.
Mr.. Edison made no reply. but the
next time his heir apparent did cry he
was ready for her. In fact, he grew
very impatient because she behaved re-
markably well, and didn't cry within
his hearing for week. At last his
time came. The infant got her toes
tangled up in her stocking and uttered
a plaintive wall. The father seized her,
thrust her nose to the funnel and set
the motor agoing. Alas! the flying
bright brass governor amused her, and
che stopped crying and began to
laugh. Mr.. Edison was disguised. He
shook her violently and screamed into
her ears, but she only chuckled and
cooed. He was in despair. Happy
thought! He would pinch her. He
did pinch her, and she expressed her
displeasure with vociferous bowls.
The racket woked up the nurse in
the next room, and she flew in at the
door in terror.
''What have you been doing now?'
she Indignantly demanded.
''That baby wouldn't cry for my
photograph, and I just pinched her
so she would"
81 never was so amused in my life,"
said Mi. Edison afterward. 'But I've
got that baby's bowls right here on
to London, and they have since been
travelling over Europe, but Mrs. Edi-
son does not know it.-Nes0 York
Times.
