The consumption of sugar has increased
more than one-halt within ten years. Nor
can this be attributed wholly or mainly to
the removal OF duty and consequent lower
ing OF the price, for more than half the in
crease since 1880 or 1882 was realized be
fore any change of duty bad been made.
The apparent consumption in the calender
year 1902 was about o.. 3 pounds for each
nhabijant. The average consumption for
1901 and 1902 was 65.S pounds for each
nhabitant, whereas in 1880 the consump-
ton was but y pounds and in 1870 but
1875 pounds The increase. within the
past twenty-five years, has been such that
the consumption for each inhabitapt has
almost doubled.

A DENSE PoPULATIoN.-There are
some interesting facts to be CLEANED
from the completed report of Mr..
Balnes. the census commissioners Of
India, which has Just been published.
In salient feature is the density of its
population. While comprising only 3
per cent. of the land surface Of the
globe, India contains about 20 per cent.
of its computed inhabitants. Exclud:
ing Burma and Assam, the population
Is crowded upon the soil at the rate of
219 persons to the square mile. This
rate exceeds that of any other large
agricultural country on the earth.
France has 1876 persons to the square
mile, Austria 191. Prussia 223. the
German Empire 237, and Italy 249.
Even in England, wherever the density
approaches to 200 to the square mile,
1T ceases to be u rural population. Mr..
Baines's general conclusions are that
the soil of India as a whole still sufices
for the wants OF the population, and
that the rate of increase in the popula-
ion is not greater than the still unde-
veloped capabilities of the country may
be fairly expected to keep pace with.
He finds that of the females between
fifteen and forty years of e no fewer
than 81 per cent. are married, where
as in Europe, emitting Hungary, the
average is mo- above 40 per cent. He
also shows how the Indian custom
of very youthful marriages brings on
successive generations at "a rapid rate,
but about 26 per cent. of the children
born do not live to the end of their
first year. The average duration of
life is a little over twenty-four years in
India, as against nearly forty-four
years in England, and the rate of in
crease in the population is something
less than l per cent. a year

PREACHER VERSUS LAWYER.
Recording a Mortgage in the wron.

Recording q Mortgage I'm the Wrong
One of the best lawyers at the local
bar in Birmingham, Ala, tells u true
story at his own expense. He was
employed in the summer to go into
Calhoun County and look after a claim
of some $1,000, which q Selma, Ala,
merchant had on a farmer and a
preacher named Tayloe. The firm had
heard that Tayloe was preparing to
swindle them and instructed the law
yer to protect them. The ATTORNEY
went down, and, with very little diff
ficulty, found Tayloe's house. The
treated the lawyer like q lord, and
gave him n of the best dinners he
ever ate. They had the best Of every
thing, and he was given the cream of
what they had. After dinner Tayloe,
having learned the lawyers business
soon after his arrival. invited the lat
ter to look around the place-with him.
The dwelling and garden were on one
l OF a pretty creek, and all of the
land in cultivation, the stock, stables,
tool house, ETC., were on the other side.
The lawyer says he eve saw a pref
tier crop. The cotton was as high as
q horses buck, and the corn was extra
fine. 1t was a big place, and the law
yer says he never saw a prettier crop.
Tayloe called the lawyers attention to
all these things, and begged him to be
patient. He explained how q fraction
Of his crop would pay the claim, where
as it would take his whole crop and his
land, too, for that matter to'do it at
that time.
This all looked reasonable, and the
lawyer, after examining the county
records of Calhoun County, and finding
no mortgages nor liens against Tay-
loe's crop or land, decided that it would
be u sin to break the man up. The
farmer cheerfully agreed to give a
mortgage on the whole of his crop and
all of his stock to cur the debt, and
the1awyer drew up an instrument by
which Tayloe and his wife pledged
every growing thing and every
domestic animal then on their place
In Calhoun County. This was properly
Talladega County. The lawyer wrote
his client hat he had had the debt
abundantly secured, and hat he might
feel entirely safe about it. Finally
the debt matured again, and, as crops
begun to move,-it was expected that it
would certainly be paid. 1t was not,
however, and the lawyer went down to
~foreclose his mortgage. He and an
officer of Calhoun County went out to
take charge of the property. They
reached the house. The lawyer pass
ed 1t and started to cross the creek.
What + you going over there for ?"
asked the officer. THAT is Talladega
County. That creek is the dividing
line" The truth flashed over the law
yer in q moment. He hurried to the
county site Of Talladega and inspected
the records. There we're recorded
mortgages bearing date long before
his was filed in Calhoun County and
covering everything that Tayloe own
ed in the former county. The farmer,
however, had gone with his wife to
Texas, and there he is today, preach
ing. The lawyer wrote the facts TO
his client and told him he would serve
him as a slave the balance of his life,
but the merchant was charitable, and
