THE NUTMEG TRADE.


Experts Say That the Lining Process
Tends to spoil the Nut.
People may laugh as they please
about the old-time Connecticut nutmeg
joke, said prominent spice importer,
but there are several interesting points
about this somewhat maligncd though
thoroughly spicy little nut Of which the
majority Of people are ignorant. Have
you ever noticed that most nutmegs
for l suppose you have occasionally
grated them yourself into q glass Of
punch or toddy, even IL you have never
seen them in your kitchen-arc covered
with thin white coating, or, at least,
that the numerous crcvices are filled
with : light-colored substance? Most
people think that to be a natural condi-
tion Of the nutmeg, but it Is not. Tho
substance is lime, and the reason for
its being placed on the nutmeg Is .
rather curious one. Many years ago
the practice Of lining nutmcgs origi-
mated among the Dutch colonial mer-
chants OF the East Indies. They broke
the shells and then immerscd@he kernels
or seed in the milk Of lime, often keep
ing them there for period Of three
months The object Of this treatment
was to prevent the seed from sprouting
ont during transportation to the
European markets, as you have often
seen potatoes do late in the spring.
"This necessitated second drying,
and most experts now claim that lining
spoils the nut from a hygicnic and
chemical point Of view, and by degrees
shippers are learning that the process
is really unnecessary. In many sec
tions Of the world. though. the prcju-
dice in favor Of lining is so strong
that the penang which Is considered
the best variety Of nutmeg grown, will
not command anything like the price
Il deserves unless the white lime coat.
ing Il present. European merchants,
however. have learned to take this
variety Of nutmeg in its natural brown
condition. The Chinese also prefer
them unlimed, while the American
buyers usually like them in their old
fashioned way.
Occasionally INSCRIPTIONS eastern
shippers will adultcrate good nuts
with those quite rs worthless as tho
provcrbial wooden ones Of colonial
days in New England" continued the
merchant II mean by mixing in with
the good ones nutmcgs from which the
oil has been extracted, as there is
process by which a valuable volatile
oil can be taken without destroying
tho nut. The flavor Of the nut Is in
this oil; hence, without the latter tho
nut is almost worthless These nuts
may be detected by their lightDess in
weight when compared with the ges.
uinc article, and close examination
with magnifying glass will show
that the surface Of the nut, robbed Of
its oil. Is covered with minute holcs"-

sell so little in these southern markets

The beet sugar factory at Grand
Island, Neb., is striking example Of
the craze to establish new industries
and Of the reckless way in which the
taxes Of the people are paid out to
foster private enterprises. This factory
at Grand Island receives a bounty Of
two cents pound on raw sugar from
the state Of Nebraska, and with the
next crop will begin to receive an equal
bounty from the United States govern
ment in accordance with the Mckinley
tariff law.
As this factory has capacity of
about 40 tons Of sugar per day the two
bounties of four cents a pound will
amount to about $500 q day.
Refined graduated sugar is al
ready being sold at wholesale in
centers like New York and Philadel-
phia al ~ cents pound. The Grand
Island concern is therefore TO be paid
nearly the full price of refined sugar
for turning out raw sugar, and besides
this will get the full market price for
its product.
This Is fair example Of establishing
private enterprises at public expense.
The people can look ut that s.. 700
day, multiply it by six and make 1t SEA-
200 week, and multiply this by four
and make II SIS, 500 a month, and then
they can decide whether il pays TO tax

The ridiculously small spirit that
manifested itself in connecting the Nc
Kinlcy tariff job was well shown by
what Senator Plumb told in the closing
days of the recent session Of congress
about Senator Edmunds and the bounty
on maple sugar. Mr.. Plumb stated that
the republican senators were appealed
t. last year 10 vote for the maple sugar
bounty on the ground that IL would help
Senator Morrill,, of Vermont. to be re-
elected. Plumb, and apparently some
Of the other senators. voted for the
bounty for this purpose. with the un-
derstanding that the conference COM
mittee would strike IL out
When this became probable Senator
Edmunds, Of Vermont, one OF the great
republican statesmen" threatened in
writing that he would vote against the
entire tariff bill unless the maple sugar
bounty were retained. The learned
senator was willing to join the .'ene-
mics Of American industry" and cast his
vote against the Mckinley tariff bill un-
less the Vermont farmers were paid two
cents pound on their maple sugar BY
the United States government.
Of such stuff are great men made,
and such is the pt .tinuss that DOM
mates the makers of tariffs

that y sounded positively personal -
conscicnce-stricken Larry. "Fiendiss
Bird she cried, ~ wish some one

sobbed all the harder.
The professor left the next afternoon,
while Larry was out. A box Of white
roses lay on the table. addressed 70 her,
a card attached on which was written:

that was all. but she guessed dimly
what an effort Il cost 70 write Il.
With trembling fingers she divided the

swer To Mrs. Austin's remonstrance.
II was only civil to him to please YOU

eyes were full Of tears, and that she
took the card away with her.

He vanished; and there, inside tho
closed door, stood Prof. Chesney. a
little thinner, a little grayer. but with
the old kindly smile on his lips that she
remembered 50 we'll. Startled out OF
her self-possession, Larry stood with
her feather dust.r suspended over
grandma's hundred-year-old teapot.
II sail for Europe tomorrow" said
the professor, taking few steps into
the room, ''and may never return.
Won't you wish me godspced, Larry?'
Crash went grandma's priceless tea
pot into dozen pieces on the polished
floor. and the next thing Larry knew
she was crying bitterly.
Are you crying because am going
away?" asked the professor, eagerly
he was very near her now-"or because
you have broken the teapot"
Both" cried Larry, with convul-
sive sob which was srnothcred in the
folds Of the professors coat As the arms
of that ''estimable gentleman" closed
round her.
How about your prophetic soul,'
Larry?" teased Jim, later on. II

Under the heading Protection Does
IT," the American Economist declares
that we export more brass and copper
goods to Canada than does Great Brit
ain. This article was quoted by Mr..
Blaine in his answer 70 Mr.. Gladstone
in the North American Review. What
are the facts? In 1859 we exported to
Canada Ss3o.690 Of copper and brass
goods. In the same year England sent
to Canada OILY si76.175. In 1883 we ex-
ported TO all British America only sls5..
600 Of copper and brass goods, or sos. 090
less than in 1859, and England sent
them slss,560. Such Is the triumph Of
high duties!
