Sugar MN News.

There was meeting Of the directors
| of our sugar mill yesterday evening.
| Col. q. II. Eldred was elected president.
q. w. Waddeil, yice-president, and c..
|. Hinman, secretary and business
manager. 1t was decided to contract
for 5000 acres of cane.
The beet business was talked over
thoroughly. and 1T was decided to not
| contract for any beets, for two reasons.
One reason is that the mill lost money
on beets last year; and the other is that
it is too late to send to Germany and
get seed here in time for planting. 1t
was also shown that it was a costly
matter to transform a sorghum mill
into beet mill, and back to sorghum
MILL
Mr.. Hinman has confidence that the
alcohol process will be the means of
making much more sugar than can now
be made, but there is no law permit
ting the works to manufacture or re-
cover alcohol.
The mill Will be run this year strict
ly as a sorghum mill, and if there is any
money in the business this year it will
try to do larger business next year.
The mill here has been of great SER
vice to the state. 1t has shown that
there is more sugar in Kansas beets
than IN any other beets in the world. 1t
has discovered that there in vast diff
ference in the varieties of sorghum
cane, and by judicious selections of
seed has done-a great deal toward i'm
proving the sugar product, and to es-
tablish hardy cane that can resist

Butter at 81 a Pound.

Butter at 81 a pound seems pretty.
high, but there is one grade brought to
the Washington market which "fetches"
that money. As may be surmised, how
ever, the demand for such butter is lin
tied. Only few families use it, chief
among them being those of the many
times millionaire Senators from Califor-
MIA, Stanford and Hearst. The butter
in question is brand of peculiar excel
lence, made at Darlington, Penn. 1t is
worked until it is uncOmmonly firm and
dry. That it is worth 81 a pound, how
ever, may well be doubted. Only twen-
ty or thirty pounds a week are sold.
There are other grades of gilt-edged
butter that sell at sixty, fifty, forty-five
and forty cents respectively. The forty
cent grade is used at the White House
and is very good. The fifty and
sixty-csnt grades are made in Philadel-
phia from selected cream and are con-
sidered very fine articles. The butter
which is sold at the White House is
from Elgin, Ill. Large quantities of the
best butter sold in Washington come
from the West. First rate butter can be
had there at thirty-five cents and very
good grade Is quoted ut twenty-five

out any loss of mental energy. Zenoph-
anes wrote his memorable elegy at ninety

tyrant of Syracuse, kept firm grasp on
on that city until he died at the age of
ninety-ive.

A Leper YnIage IN COlOwDIa.

A strange community is that OF Aqua
di Dios, the leper village of Colombia, as
described by our Consul at BOgota.
Situated at about fourteen hundred feet
above the sea level, with dry, sandy
soil and a temperature of eighty-two de-
grees to eighty-five degrees Fahrenheit
this spot has been chosen for the lazaretto
by the Government on account OF its
ancient reputation for the cure of lepr9sy.
Some five hundred and twenty sufferers
from this terrible visitation dwell here,
and form about one-third of the popula-
ton; but the most remarkable fact re-
garding the settlement is that lepers and
healthy persons are described as living on
terms of perfect intimacy, there being no
specific leper quarter, though every house
in the village stands apart in a garden.
Mr.. Wheeler states that there is no
case on record of the disease having been
contracted here by contasion. Even
where the lepers have married healthy
persons, the husband or wife has never
been known to take it from the other.
On the other hand, the mournful fact IS
admitted that children born of such
unions are generally afflicted

Chinese Metal Workers.

Among the many notable and surpris-
ing examples of Chinese skill, in what
has long been supposed to be the exclu-
sive distinction of the Western nations,
that of metal working is specially prom
inent. In the manufacture and use of
wrought metal they display an advanced.
degree of artistic and mechanical skill.
This metal is favorite decoration for
houses, affairs in the churches, town
halls, assembly rooms and business places
of the more wealthy firms. The metals
used are brass, white and bronze, which
closely resembles Britannia metal, gold
bronze, ordinary bronze and silver. The
work Of the Chinese metal smith is great
ly superior to that of our own in variety,
originality of design and in artistic finish.
The smith turns out bowls, vases, urns,
pictures, ewers, basins, cup standards,
pipes and other smoking utensils, salvers,
lamps, candelabra, lanterns, bedsteads,
chairs, tables, church furniture and nu-
merous articles, all of substantial work.
manship and standard material. The
metal smith makes good wages and has
good social position in China, but the
industry is not healthy one, the Chinese
not understanding the physiological ac-
tion of the metal oxides on the system,
and not knowing how to prevent or
remedy the injuries they suffer. The
Chinese system of casting is very similar
to ours, but in cleaning and polishing
they use no chemical agents, relying
most entirely on manual labor, and the
use of lathes fitted up with polishing
brushes. They understand oxidation,
and produce malachite and azure effects
and the like very effectively. They Sc.
cure these not by the direct action of
acid and acid vapor baths, but by bury
ing the objects to be treated in various
kinds of decomposing organic matter.
That is, of course, 4 slow and expensive
process. In one respect the work of the
Chinese smith is peculiar. The soldiers
in many parts of the Chinese Empire
still wear fine mail armor, helmets, breast
plates and shields, and the came articles
nc worn by-she-fj participants IN CIVIC
professions and official pageantst As a |
consequence, such amor is still made, |
and the armorer occupies in China about |
the same position that he did in Europe
in medieval times. A suit of brass armofs>l
worn by one of the black flag leaders in
the Tonquin war is said to have SUGGEST
fully resisted bullets, and to have broken

French marine.-B0stoa Transcript.
