A NEW FARMING INDUSTRY.
The Beet Sugar Business in the West

The Beet Sugar Business in the West
Its Growth In Nebraska.
The beet sugar industry has received
a great boom in Nebraska. Three years.
experience has shown that beets can be
grown in that State containing from 10
to % per cent. of sucrose or actual SUI
gar. After two years investigation
beet sugar factory has been located at
Grand Island, Hall County, with a cap
ital of million dollars. The factory
will not only produce raw sugar, but
will include first-class refinery, school
for the instruction of farmers in the cul-
tivation of beets, and an experimental
station, French and also a German ex-
pert having already been engaged. The
company has secured 5, 600 acres of good
beet land, and an association of local
philosophical business men has guar
anteed to grow 5000 acres of beets for
three years under the supervision of the
factory superintendent, for which they
are to be paid So a ton for beets con-
tanning 10 per cent sucrose, with an addi-
tional payment of Csc for each per cent
of sucrose in excess of this amount
The factory buildings are being rapid
ly put up. The main structure is 292xS5
it. and four stories high. The ma
cbinery is already on the way from
Europe, and the whole enterprise is in
charge of competent experts as we'll as
ample capitalists The plant will work
up 600 tons of beets daily, producing IS
tons of sugar per day. The working
season will be about Is days, consum-
ing $4,000 tons of beets, the product of
5000 acres, at an average of Is tons per
acre. Nebraska has voted bounty Of
1c. per h. on all sugar made in the State,
and Senator Henderson has introduced
bill in Congress providing for an adj
ditional bounty of s5c. per 100 lbs. Of
sugar, and also liberal. bounty for
every ton of beets grown by the farmer.

several years, is now quite prosperous.

are also doing we'll. These are the only
two plants of the kind; Nebraska's will
be the third in the United States. Beet

NOSE WAS AWE.
How a Live English Lord Paralyzed q
COlOred SerVitOr.

How q Live English Lord Paralyzed q
Colored Servitor.
Several years after the end of the war
a once wealthy family living in a GER
tain region of Virginia conceived the
idea that they were related to a noble
family in England, and opened CORE
spondence with those they believed to
be of the same blood. Their letters
were promptly answered, and by COM
parison of facts and patching together
of fragments of family history, it was
proved to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned that they had sprung from the
same strain. In few years Lord -,
having determined to visit the United
States, concluded to seek out his
Virginia cousins and wrote to them in
forming them of his coming. Although
reduced in fortune and their family
servants scattered in distant States by
the curiosity aroused by their new-given
freedom, the spirit of their ancient and
traditional Virginia hospitality had not
flickered and died out of their honest
breasts. They made haste with spade
and hammer and paint brush to repair
the wastes of time and put their house
in order for the noble kinsman who was
on the way. There remained as serv-
ants only two or three of their former
slaves, and one of these was old Moses.
Nose, as he was better known, had
always been field-hand and had never
discharged the delicate duties for
old master of passing 'the bottle
when he was dry" and brushing
away the blue-tail fly" Nose was
pressed into service at once and hurried
ly drilled and disciplined for his I'M
tried task of butler. Time was short
and Noses development in the courtly
art was dollhouse growth. At last
the awe-inspiring guest arrived. Nose
had been given his final instructions
and received the last finishing touches
of his rapid and enforced education rs a
house servant. Breakfast was the meal
at which he was to put into practice the
! lessons he had learned. The final and
| vital injunction, repeated to him for the
hundredth time, was that he must not
| address the distinguished visitor as
mister, but as my lord. Nose thought
| smiled with confidence. With occasion
al stumbling, the dropping of plate
and the breaking of glass, Nose went
otherwise successfully through his

denly awe-stricken by the presence OF
such greatness and excited by the fea,
| of making a mistake, he was seized
with fit of utter decentralization and
yelled at the top of his voice in frightened
and piteous tones: ''My Gawd, won't
you have some cakes?" So complete
was his confusion that he dropped plate
cakes and all and fled in terror from the
august presence of the majestic ap

That the Mexicans are an artistic
people no one who lives long among
them can deny. In music they excel,
and all that Is needed to make Mexico
take a first place among musical ma
lions is the wider diffusion of technical
musical education. The veriest gamin
can catch at once a novel air, and bits
from the operas are everywhere heard
from the most ignorant of the lower
classes. Not only are the Mexicans a
musical people. but they are lovers Of
art in all its forms. and their manners
are pleasing. whether you take the
most polished and travelled citizen or
the humblest peon. Daily intercourse
with educated Mexicans has a charm
about it that is delightful to northern
er;they are polite, not from affection, but
because they are trained to be so from
their youth, and also because they are
DESTROYS of pleasing, being by nature

the United States copy the manners
which the Mexicans have for everyday

masters and servants, and between the
poorest and the poor, who sometimes
seem to possess little else but their
cou, teous ways. The Mexicans are the
Italians of this continent; they have
been kept to the rearward of richer and
more fortunate nations by their long
and disastrous civil wars. Give the
poor people of this country educational
privileges for twenty years and they
will come up as the Italians have done
since Italy became one country for all
her children.
One thing foreigner in Mexico
comes to notice is the decided intel
lectual bent of the youth of the land.
Mexicans have great facilities in &C.
quiring languages. and almost every
lad in the higher schools knows French
and reads it as we'll as he does Spanish.

ST. DISTAFF'S DAY.
A Thread 115 Miles in Length Spun FIR,

A Thread 115 Miles in Length Spun From
One Pound of Cotton.
The 7th of January is day in which
the elderly maidens, who are sometimes
called spinsters, should take a peculiar
interest. In old times it was known
and observed as St. Distaff's day, be-
cause it was generally then that the
women resumed, after all Christmas
holidays, the distaff and spindle. When
the spinning-wheel was invented, along
in 1888, those ladies who used it began
to be called spinsters. This, afterward,
in legal Technology, came to be applied
to all unmarried women, but the name
was an honored one until the employ.
ment of spinning was considered too
mental for women of rank. Then it was
used CONTEMPORARY, and gradually it
came to signify, more particull arly, sim
gle ladies Of mature years. before the
spinning-wheel was relegated to the
garnet some extraordinary feats were
accomplished, or, as people nowadays
would say, records were made, by those
expert in its use. In the year 1745 a
woman at East Dereham, in Norfolk,
spun single pound of wool into a
thread of $4,000 yards in length, wanting
only eighty yards Of forty-eight miles.
This, at the time, was considered per.
Torrance of sufficient Importance to
merit place in the proceedings of the
Royal Society''-a very high honor, in.

by another English lady, living at Nor.
witch, who spun pound of combed wool
into thread of 1853, 900 yards; and she
actually produced from the same weight
of cotton thread Of 2oa, 900 yards, equal
to about 115 miles. This last thread, II
woven, would produce about twenty
yards of yard-wide muslin.-Chicago
