Fine Distinctions of Etiquette Observed In
the Green-Roo1n.

Fine DlSGtnCG1OnS OIL Etiquette observed
the Green-RooIa.
There is no place under heaven in
which hierarchical grades are SO rigidly
established as in the dancers green:
room at the European opera-houses.
The star. says the Chicago News, bears
exactly the same relation to the sub
jects as queen does to the ladies OF the
court, and the subjects the same rela-
ton to the coryphees as, say, the ladies
of the bedchamber to the dressers of
her Majesty. The quadrille is a mob
of novices having no rank to speak of.
We're a subscriber to pit or box tier,
who has his entree to the green-room,
engaged in conversation in the wings
with member of the quadrille, and a.
coryphee to. come up, tbs former would
have to go away. The same etiquette
would be observed by coryphee if a.
subject came up; and if the star deigned
to speak to the gentleman the subject
would be expected to fall back in an att,
titudo which would express the deep
sense she felt Of the honor done her by
the star in doigning to address the adj
mirer of the subject.
A star would think herself called upon
to resent being invited to dine with an
inferior member of the corps de ballet
unless her leave were first asked. The
etiquette would be to ask her what
members it might be agreeable for her
to meet, and whether, If she did not de-
sire to make choice herself, it might
be agreeable for M'd'lle Such-a-One to
be invited? Nor would it be thought
rude if she made choice excluding the
danseuse SO named. Subjects stand in
a relative position toward coryphees.
But young ladies of the quadrille should
. be only asked to meet each other.

crop is relieved by the favourable weather of
the last two months, there is still great un-
certainty respecting the action that may be
taken in reference to the Mckinley Act. The

but nothing has as yet transpired, as to what
has been accomplished by them. Reference

Sproposal was made under very different cir
cumstances and conditions that present exist.

levied on the products of all countries alike,
and are not heavy. We have no differentlal
duties. The imports from America are admit

THE SEED CANE QUESTION IN
LOUISIANA.

AS the season for saving seed is now ra-
pidly passing and will soon be ended, the
kind and variety of cane to be saved, for
seed, should have careful consideration.
Z number of years ago careful inquiries
were made by the Louisiana Sugar Planters
Association as to the best variety of g
cane for ouE climate. The majority of the
evidence was in favor of red ribbon cane,
and yet few planters claimed to have it,
while advocating its merits. Some. planters
claimed that they had it in it's degenerated
form of our red or purple cane
1t seemed very strange that "a whole state
SHOULD advocate ribbon cane and yet practi-
cally possess none of it, and yet the sugar
planters OF Louisiana seemed Ia be in about
that fix. There is q considerable amount
OF red ribbon cane now in Louisiana. but we
believe we are within proper limits when we
say that not one-ffth of our Louisiana tro-
pical eaue is of that variety Why then

A QUESTION.
IRON the Victoria Colonist. J

From the Victoria COt0nlSt.)
To the EditOr-Ir your issue of 18th
April, this year, an article appeared com
menting on the statement OF Ensign Ed
ward Meals, of the American service, that
the 49tb parallel had not been strictly fol-
lowed when the engineers Of Greet Britaip
and the United States were engaged in lay
ing dow the line of demarcation between
the respective countries.
] have waited all this time to see if any
action would be taken in regard thereto
but as nothing seems to have come of it I
will, with your kind permission, give you %
plain statement of what l know concerning
the affair in question.
In September, 1860, l was gold mining Oil
Rock Creek, when the American Engineers
and the British Engineers, then locating the
49th parallel and putting up thelaonuments,
met near Boundary Greek, the British En-
gineers coming from the West, I think, and
the Americans from The east. Well, as I
said, the parties themselves met, but their
surveys did not, by oUrr 800 yardsi The Bril-
fish line was north. Each party kept on,
and before they ceased operations the two
lines had Tapped fully 80 miles! At first it
was presumed the Americans were in error
and some of Uncle SANS subjects built
stores close up to the northern or British line
at Boundary Greek, and called the place.

is it spoken of so highly, and yet possessed
and cultivated by so few9
The question of the relative merits of our
red ribbon cane has especial interest now,
as a most competent planter recently made
the deliberate statement that his ribbon
cane stood the drought of 1891 because it
was ribbon thai had it been red cane, it
would not have Jared so well. There may
be some reliable truth in our friends con-
%cluSiOn. If ribbon cane has IL better or
m0Ie effective root than red cane, perhaps
it will stand the thought better.
InactuaI sugar house p%Icatice red sane seems
to avera ge more SuCroSe than ribbon cane,
but anal Ytical work does not seem to pSta.
bliSh this conclusion,
At any rate, it is an important question,
and the general merits of our Two leading
varieties of sugar cane should be definitely
settled. The Sugar Experiment. Station
has the matter now in hand, hut much good
will result if The hundreds Of practical
planters in our state will sent in their
Views ami aid il solving this Question:

NEW SUGAR MAKING MACHINERY


From the LouiSiaad Planter AID Sugar Manu-
tdctuler,)
Owing to the close competition between the
cane sugar and the beet root sugar manufac-
lures, every known means has to be applied to-
reduce the cost Of manufacture. One means
being adopted by cane growers is the amalga-
nation Of a number of estates INTO one large
factory or usiae, and, in place of a number of
small estates making their own sugar, all the
canes are brought to one central set of sugar
making works, and thus the expense of manage
ment and manufacture is reduced and
fuel saved. This necessitates that a larger
quantity Of juice has to be treated per hour
sthan heretofore, so that the evaporation of the
water out of this juice comes to be a very Sc
Iious matter. Messrs. M'Onie, Harvey & Co.,
the well known sugar engineers of this city,
have just finished one of their largest patent
Triple Effects for this purpose. This appa-
rotus consists of three upright vessels. each
eleven feet diameter inside the lower portion
or calandrla Of each vessel is fitted with 1856
brass tubes, two inches in diameter by five and
one-half feet long, giving a total heating sur
face OF 1900 square feet the upper portion
Is built of steel plates, having extra large pipes
on top, leading the vapour over and down to
the calandria of next vessel, This apparatus
is fitted with their patent arrangement for the
distribution of the vapour and circulation of
the juice, which has given a very high ratio of
evaporation per square foot of heating surface,
and, being very simplein its arrangement, one
man can work the apparatus. The whole is
fitted upon a massive iron staging, the last
vessel and condenser being connected to- a
displacement vacuum pumping engine of am
pie capacity. This apparatus is made to the
order of the Colonial Company, limited, Lon
don, for their Usine St. Madeline at San Fc-
nando, Trinidad, and is capable of doing the
work required for the manufacture of from
five to six tons of sugar per hour, and shorld
be a valuable addition to their plant to meet
their increasing output of sugar.-Tbid. ,

DEVICE FOR STRIPPING LEAVES
FROM SUGAR CANE.

The Planter has received from Mr.. Richard
Rohr, of Millstadt, ILL.,, a copy of his patent
for the above device, and it is certainly avery
ingenious and, W should judge, effective ma
chine. Mr.. Rohr has an arrangement of
springs that adjust themselves to the varying
diameters of the sorghum or other sugar cane
that it is desired to strip, and the machine is
said to be extremely effective in its operation.
The leaves of sorghum cane seem to be
more tenacious. and to adhere more close
ly to the cane than do the leaves of our tro-
pical cane, these latter neraly all falling from
the cane, as it becomes ripe. 1t is possible il
not probable, however, that devices as Mr..
Rohr's will come to he utilized in the manu-
facture of tropical cane as we'll as in that
of sorghum cane and, any one interested in
the matter will do well to write Mr.. Rohr the
particulars, his address being given above

From the Spectator, 21st November.

1t is said, though we hear SO little of it, that
a powerful party in Prussia is still ,attached to
Prince Bismarck, and that should anything go
wrong, they would struggle for his return to
Office. There is a lingering distrust among
the educated II the Emperor's tendency to
hurry, and of his obvious belief tina he can
solve the social problem by concessions to
working men. This feeling gives some impor-
lance to the reception of the Prince in Berlin
on ~sbs 18th inst, when the crowds could
hardly be RESTRAINED, indeed could not be
restrained, from breaking through massive
BARRELS to welcome him, He had to warn the
students not to get crushed between the train
and the platform. At the Lehrter Station the
police had perremptory orders to keep the
crowd back but they were roughly handled,
and the platform was crushed" We do not
much believe in Reservations, and when King
and populace think alike, see no power to
resist them but the adherence of the
middle class to Prince Bismarck is significant,
and might on occasion prove most impor-
tant.

Mr.. Nc. Kinley has made a speech in Boston
which shows HIM as the very poet Of Protection.
He declares, it appears, that his tariff has
created trade, and trade with all its profits on
one side. There is not a line in that Bill that
is not American, not a page that is not patriot
ic, and not a paragraph that is not
dedicated to the American home. We have new
er had as much foreign trade in any year as dur
ing the last twelve months, and Europe paid
us at the endof that time ninety-nine mill
ions of dollars in gold, representing The eN-
cess they bought of us over what we
bought of them. We never had anything
but raw material under the revenue tariff, and
that was never developed until it was touched
BY the magic hand of Protection. The p Icy
of Protection must be maintained, because 1t
represents the highest civilisation and the no.
blest destiny" 1t is not of much use reason
ing with men in q mood like that they must
learn by experience. Mr.. Mckinley and his
hearers evidently believe that gold will bene-
fit them more than the things they want to buy
with gold. They might as we'll think them
selves better dressed in notes than in the
clothes for which notes pay.

The Socialists are still gaining ground in
Berlin. The great rise in the price Of provi.
sions caused by the Protectionist policy, and
by the demand for food in Western Russia,
has exasperated the discomfort in the poorer
classes, who already ~live,in cellarsand have no.
thing but bale read Accordingly in fifteen con-
tests for seats in the Municipal Council filled
on Wednesday, six have fallen to the Socialists,
WHO will also. it is believed, carry two more
on thesecond ballots. The remaining seven have
fallen, or will, it is believed, fall to Liberals,
every Conservative being defeated. The
Socialists are now striving hard throughout
Prussia for municipal victories, as they think
with the towns in their hands they can try
: experiments; but the policy seems . a little
sterile. They always have to ask the consent
of Government to important steps, and the
Government, if property is seriously threaten.
ed, will not hest: ate to suspend municipal
liberties. 1t should be noted, however, in
considering the violence of the party, that the
distress must be very grave indeed, a consi
derable section of the citizens, probably a
fifth, being wholly unable to pay either rent
or taxes, while. there is no automatic Poor

count, on the proclamation of the new Revo-
luton, the Republicans and Monarchists of
the province united their strength, and, being
joined by the Army and part Of the Fleet, pro-
claimed a Provisional Junta, headed by Senhor
Assis Brazil. This Junta will await the action
of other provinces, and if they rise against the
Dictator, viii join them, forming, say other ac-
counts, a Republic, with large local liberties
but if they do not, will secede, probably join
ing Uruguay, which would thus become a pow
erful State seated On both banks of the River
Plate. There is no resistance within the pro-
vince, and the Volunteer Army is so strong
that it talks of marching on Rio, rather a seri-
Gus undertaking, as the capital is 1,200 miles
away, and the road without supplies. The
Dictator of Brazil is trying to raise a loan, and
to employ the fleet against his enemies buC
he is not popular even in Rio, and, comparing
all accounts, we should say that the days of
Brazil, as this generation has known it. are
numbered. The of-ohance is that the Mon
archis's, supported probably by the black
population, which owes so much to Dom Pc
dro, may, by appealing to the lingering desire
for unity, restore the Imperial throne. 1t must
not be forgotten that the Portuguese in Brazil
have been exceptionally cruel Slaveowners,
and have always before them the dread of an
