The London Economist says that
5,107, 900 tons of sugar were consumed
by the inhabitants of this planet last
year. OF this amount 2, 407, 600 tons
were beet sugar and 2, 500, 600 tons cane
sugar. The other 200,0 tons were
drawn from the stocks carried over
from the previous year The current
years consumption is estimated at
5, 200, 600 The beet-crop estimate for
the year is 1850, 600 tons, and if the
crop OF cane sugar is the same as last
year, 500, 900 tons-there will be a
surplus of $50 900 tons to stop the gap
made last year by drawing on the stock
in reserve.

LITERARY PURSUITS.
According to the Best Authorities They
DO Not Shorten Life.

| DO NOT shorten Lie.
In considering occupations as they
are likely to effect longevity, those
which obviously tend to shorten life
need not be considered. With respect
to the learned professions, it would ap-
pear that among the clergy the aver
age of life is beyond that of any SINH
lar class. 1t is improbable that this
average will be maintained for the
future; the duties and anxieties i'm
posed upon the clergy of the present
generation place them in a very differ
ent position from that of their prede-
cessors. Among lawyers there have
been several eminent judges who at
tanned a great age. and the rank and
file OF the profession are also charac-
terized by decided tendency to lon
gevity. The medical profession sup
plies but few instances of extreme old
age, and the average duration of life
among its members is decidedly low, a
fact wliCfI- UaT 61 easily accounted for.
Broken rest. hard work, anxieties, eX-
posture to weather, and to the risks
OF infection can not fail to exert
an injurious influence upon health. No
definite conclusions can be arrived at
with regard to the average longevity
OF literary and scientific men, but it
might be supposed that those among
them who are not harassed by anxieties
and enjoy fair health would probably
reach old age. AS general rule the
duration of life is not shortened by
literary pursuits. A man may worry
himself to death over his books, or,
when tired of them, may seek recrea-
tlon in pursuits destructive to health;
but application to literary work tends
| to ptoduce cheerfulness, and to pro-
OF an infirm man. In Professor
Humphreys Report on Aged Persons"
containing an account of 824 individu-
ais of both sexes, and between the
ages of 50 and 100, it is stated that 48
per cent. we're poor, AZ per cent were
in comfortable circumstances, and only
III per cent were described as being
in affiuent circumstances. DR..
Humphrey points out that these ratios
must not be regarded as representing
the relations Of poverty and affluence
to longevity, because. in the first
place, the poor at all ages and in all
districts bear large proportion to the
affluent; and, secondly, the returns are
largely made from the lower and mid
die classes, and in many instances
from the inmates of union warehouses,
where good number of aged people
are found" 1t must also be noticed
that the past life history of these
individuals showed that the greatest
proportion (55 per cent? had lived
in comfortable circumstances" and
that only So per cent. had been poor

BRAVE GIRLS.

Tho More There Are Like Thorn tho
Better for All Concerned.
We have reason to believe that the
type of girlhood described in the fol-
lowing extract from an article in the
Christian Advocate may be found in
the homes of many OF our readers; and
the more of such girls the better:
There is girl, and love to think of
her and talk Of her, who comes in late
when there is company, who wears Il
pretty little air of mingled responsibility
and anxiety with her youth, whom the
others seem to depend on and look to
for many comforts. She is the girl who
helps mother.
In her own home she is a blessed
little saint and comforter. She takes
unfinished tasks from tho tired, stiff
fingers that falter at their work; her
strong young figure is a staff upon
which the gray-haired. white-faced
mother leans and is rested. She helps
mother with the spring sewing, with
the weeks mending, with a cheerful
conversation and congenial companion
ship that some girls do not think worth
while wasting on only mother. And
when there comes q day that she must
bend, as girls must often bend, over the
old worm out body of mother lying I'M
heedful in her coffin, rough hands fold
ed, her long disquiet merged in rest,
something very sweet will be mingled
with her loss. and the girl who helped
mother will find benediction OF peace
upon her head and in her heart.
The girl who works-God bless her
is another girl whom 1 know. She is
brave and active, she is not
too proud to earn her own living.
or ashamed to be caught at her daily
task. She is studious and palms.
taking and patient She smiles at you
from behind counter or desk. There is
memory OF her sown into each silken
gown. She is like a beautiful noun
taineer already far up the hill, and the
sight of her should be fine inspiration
for us all. 1t is an honor to known this
girl-to be worthy of her regard. Her
hand may be stained with factory
grease or printers ink. but it is an hon.
est hand and a helping hand. 1t stays
misfortune from many homes; it is the
one shield that protects many jorlorn

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
ONE BOYS THOUGHTS.

A stitch is always dropping in the everlasting
knitting,
And the needles that I've threaded, no, you
couldn't count to-day;
And I've hunted for the glasses till thought
my head was splitting,
When there upon her forehead as calm as
clocks they lay.
I've read to her till l was hoarse, the Psalms
and the Epistles,
When the other boys were burning tar barrels
down the street;
And I've stayed and learned my verses when 1
heard their willow whistles,
And I've stayed and said my chapter with fire
in both my feet
And I've had to walk beside her when she went
to evening meeting.
When 1 wanted to be racing to be kicking to
be of;
And I've waited while she gave tho folks a
word or two OF greeting
First on one foot then the other and most
strangled with cough
"You can talk of Young Young.Amcrica," say,
It'll you are scarlet,
It's Old America that has the inside of the
track"
Then she raps me with her thmble and calls
me young varlct
And then she looks SO wobegone 1 have to
take IL back.
But! There always is peppermint or penny
in her pocket
There never was q pocket that was half so
big and deep
And she lets The candle in my room burn way
down to the socket
While She stews and sputters round about till
am sound asleep.
There's always somebody at home when every
one is scattering;
She spreads the jam upon your bread in
way to make you grow;
She always takes fellows side when every
one is battering;
And when tear my jacket know just whore
TO gol
And when I've been in swimming after
fathers said l shouldn't
And mother has her slipper of according to
the rule;
1t sounds as sweet as silver, the voice that
says: Il wouldn't;
The boy that won't go swimming such o
day would be fool"
Sometimes there's something in her voice as il
she gave blessing.
And look at hor a moment and keep still
as a mouse
And who she is by this time there is no need OF
guessing;
For there's nothing like a Grandmother to
have about the house!

THE FOX AND THE RABBIT.

81 swear" said Fox to q Rabbit one day
CTS o story they often relate IN the South),
~You shall be. Mr.. Rabbit, ere sunset my prey"'
And he threatened him fercely with wide
open mouth.
The Rabbit set 4 ut the top of his speed,
Resolving by flight to get out OF the scrape;
But, holly pursued soon discovered the need
OF adopting trick tc effect his escape.
SO he ran to a well-curb which CHANGED to be
nigh,
A windlass that two spacious buckets pos
sessed,
And leaping in one Doth were empty and dry
Very quick at the bottom found safety and rest.
AS one Of the buckets thus suddenly fell
The other and lighter rose equally fast;
And when REWARD arrived at the top Of he we'll
He thought to himself: II have got you at
lastnh
~My friend why didn't you take them both with
youS"
Said the Fox, as he bowed to the one that
now swung
So high and inviting; 'this nonsense well end; y
And into the bucket exulting he sprung.
You see his mistake; for his heavier weight
To the surface the Rabbit full speedily drew,
WHO said. while ascending: Life changes are
great;
Now up and now down. Mr.. Reynard, adieu
Then of hoped the Rabbit, and lived, suppose,
Esteemed by his friends TO u happy old age;
While the Fox, when the day came Ut last to
close,
WAS caught by Farmer and put in a cage.
Now all of this proves what has often been said

VALUABLE INVENTION.
A Process for Making Printing Ink from
Spent Cotton Waste.

A Process for Making Printing Ink from
Spent Cotton Waste.
The utilization of waste products,
which has made such great progress
during the last two decades, Ia ex-
perienced further DEVELOPING IL.
department in which we are more e..
pecially interested. We reer to the
process of Mr.. G. I. Bastand, Bermond,
sey, London, by meansof which spent
cotton waste is made tt yield up all the
oil and greasy matter contained in it,
the latter being subsequently converted
into that useful agsnt of civilization,
printers ink. Cotton waste, as our
readers are aware is used to clean
machinery of all descriptions. When
spent-that is to say, used up-it is full
of refuse oil and grease. Hitherto, it
has been the practice to boil the spent
cotton waste in q solution of caustic
soda, by which process all the grease
is extracted, to wash it, and mix it with
new waste, when it is again placed
upon the market. The oils and grease
are allowed to run to waste.
Mr. Bastand proceeds in a very diff
ferent and at the same time highly re-
munerative manner. He places the
spent cotton waste in q closed cylinder
heated by steam by means Of an interior
coil. He then pumps a solution of
bisulphate of carbon into the cylinder
containing the waste upon which the
chemical acts, separating the oil and
grease. In their combined state. the
bisulphate solution and oil are then
run by him into another steam-heated
cylinder. Here the bisulphate becomes
vaporized. and passes thence to con-
densers, and is finally run into stone
tank, to be used over and over again
the loss of bisulphate being almost i'm
perceptible. The cotton waste freed
from oil is washed, dried and sold
again.
The far moro valuable product OBJ
tanned, the oil, is run from the ssSssd
cylinder into tanks, pumped thsnce
into copper heated by small porta-
BILE furnace, running on wheels, and
freed from all moisture. 1t is then
pumped into second copper. where it
is converted into the varnish from
which printing ink is made. When the
varnish has been brought down to its
proper consistency, the furnace is with
drawn, and the varnish is taken to the
Westinghouse. where it is incorporated
with the necessary pigments and other
ingredients necessary to produce the
various shades and qualities of print
ing ink. When mixed, the crude ink
is ground in French buhrstone mill,
and. after grinding, delivered into
machine, in which it is passed between
rollers a number of times, according to
the quality of ink required. To obtain
the lampblack used in the manufacture
of printing ink, a portion of the re-
covered oil is used; and thus what was
formerly wasted is converted into the
medium which enters so largely into
the diffusion of knowledge. -Chambers'
Journal.
