Sugar Among the Ancients.

1t seems almost impossible to imag-
inc life without sugar, SO absolutely
essential is its use to the comfort of
living. There is no mention of sugar
among the early Greeks and Romans,
although ''sugar" cane, was made
known by the conquests of Alexan-
| der the Great, whose admiral, Nea-
| chus, found it in the East Indies. 1t
is mentioned as remedial agent a
few years before the birth of Christ
-''the honey called saccharon, hav-
ing the appearance of salt" 1t is
known, also that Galen often pre-
scribed it as medicine. The juice
of the sugar-cane was used by some
of the Oriental nations as an intoxi-
eating drink. The Arabians used
large quantities, and it is related that
at the marriage of Caliph Maskadi
Benrittale, $4,000 pounds of the sug-
ar were required to prepare the COM
futures and ornamental sweets for the
wedding banquet at Bagdad.
Sugar was introduced into Europe
by the Crusaders. In 1166 the King
of Sicily gave the monks of ST. Ben
edict's cloister mill for expressing
the juice from the cane, and granted
them the right of manufacture and
sent them skilled workmen. In Ger
many, even as late as the end of the
seventeenth century, sugar was so
costly that only the wealthiest fami-
lies could afford to use it. In 1745,
Marggraf, a celebrated chemist, %eSd
a paper before the Berlin Academy
of Sciences concerning the juices of
certain native plants, especially the
beet, in which was a substance iden-
tical with cane sugar. He showed
by samples of his own preparation
the manufacture of sugar from the
beet was not only possible but profit
StDlc. HC ChGLHIoG COliCoS u6os
however, laughed the project to scorn,
saying that the sugar was never pro-
duced from beets, and it came to
naught. When Marggraf died, in
1888, it seemed as if his discovery
would die with him.
Anchard, his pupil, at the close of
the century, being director of the
Academy, found the treatise of his
master, and determined to establish
a mandatory in Silesia for the pro-
duction Of beet-root sugar. In spite
of the energy of the chemist and the
assistance of the Crown, the project |
was not successful, although the sug-
ar was entirely satisfactory. 1t was
not until 1871, nearly one hundred |
years after Marggraf's first essay,
that the production of beet sugar
was an accomplished fact. At the |
present time beet sugar is the sugar
of Europe. 1t is hardly distinguish
able from the cane sugar. 1t is per-
haps less brilliantly crystalline, and |
is by many thought to be sweeter
than its Indian rival.-NeaO York |

Motherless.

O, mother dear, in your starry home
Where SIN and sorrow come never,
Do you know the heartache and loneliness
That haunt US forever and ever?
Do you know how We long for the loving hands
That always soothed away pain?
For the gentle voice and precious smile
That we watch for now in VAN?
Is your heart so full of the wondrous love
That fills all the heavenly spaces,
That you give thought to our lonely home
And these little tear-wet faces?
For the little ones moan and cry for you,
And comfort them as | may
They still keep calling for ''mamma DEAR
''Where is sweet mamma,-say?"
O. mother, the burden bears so hard
That my heart seems near to breaking
If could but feel one touch of your hand
1t would calm its terrible aching!
You babe me be brave and patient too,
When you left US here alone,
And l try so hard to cover with smiles
My poor hearts ritiful moan.
1 sometimes wonder if Jesus knows
How long for our mothers blessing,
How hungry hearts and empty hands
Reach out for your sweet caressing.
o, mother-mother-you can tell Him all,
He will hear your sanity prayers
And help me to comfort these little ones,
And keep them from all earth's snaresl
o, Jesus, Master, forgive Thy child,
Thou dost never forget, no never!
Thou too vert lonely and fearful here
And homeless and sorrowful ever!
Thou hast a solace for hearts that mourn,
blessing for eyes that weep
If even the ravens cry is heard
Thy ''little ones'' thou wilt keep.

That soothes my troubled spirit into rest,
And strengthens to bear with calm endurance
The dark temptations that assail my breast.
know that He remembers all my weakness;
He doth to me His promises fulfill.
To mc-IIis weakest servant-wi He render
The aid He gives to all those who seek His love.
And by His mighty hand so strong and tender
He'll guide to that brighter world above.
Then cease, my soul, vain sorrow and repining,
And with thy humble lot contented be.
Somewhere, for thee, the sun of joy is shining
And mansions wait in paradise for thee.
Be faithful to the tIust thy God has given,
Nor. for moment, lay thy burden down.
Bear thy cross onward to the gates of Heaven,
And angels there, shall change it for Il crown,
Miss L. Damon, Boston, Mass.
