Totals. 19,e4s 1896 2,458,Oe2 1856
Tho average imports of raw sugar
during each of these eight years was
2, 456, 900, 600 pounds, the total for the
eight years being almost 20, 900, 000,-
900 pounds.
An analysis Of the foregoing figures
will show that out Of the annual aver
age of imports of less than 2, 500, 900, 900
pounds of raw sugar there were 1,720, =
900, 900 pounds imported between 80 and
90 degrees test, leaving only 1856, 900, =
900 pounds imported between the range
of 70 and 80 degrees test. In other
words, during the whole of this period
of eight years there was at least 70 per
cent Of high grade sugar imported into
the United States, while only 80 per
cent was low grade, or "the poor mans
sugar.
Mr.. Havemeyer further states that
"the cost of manufacture generally is
expended on the poor mans sugar." If
this be the case, then "the cost Of man.
ufacture generally" is confined to one
third of the total output Of the refiner-
les and the other two-thirds can practi-
cally be refined free of cost. If this be
the case also, why does not Mr.. Have
meyer sell the higher grades of sugar at
lower cost-lower even than the price
of "the poor mans sugar" upon which
"the cost of manufacture generally is
expendedP'
Since the operation Of the Mckinley
tariff the cheaper price Of the high grade
sugar, such as granulated, has resulted
In its much greater consumption, with q
consequent lessening Of the demand for
the low grade yellow sugars ION which
the greatest amount Of capital and labor
is employed in its manufacture and the
cost Of manufacture generally is ex.
pended" Therefore it is quite fair to
assume that more than 70 per cent of
the sugar refined now consists Of high
grade sugar, and that less than 30 per
cent is 'the poor mans sugar, F" the cost
Of manufacture, therefore, having been
decreased proportionately.
If Mr.. Havemeyer were really as so.
licitous for the welfare of "the poor
man" as he would fain have had the
senate investigating committee believe,
he would at once cancel the secret con-
tract that now exists between himself
and the wholesale grocers of the coun-
try, whereby special percentages and
rates Of discount arc allowed them in
return for their support and patronage.
O system that has tho practical effect
Of creating trust among the grocery
trade and of preventing competition In
che price of sugars retailed to 1.-THE poor
man.

Eastern Oystermen Find Less Demand For
Their Bivalves-People Have No Money
and Cannot Buy-Coiiections Hard and
Profits Small.
The oyster business is a large one in
the United States, especially all along
the Atlantic coast. Down ON Long Is
land there are hundreds Of men interest
ed in the oyster business who are not
protected by the tariff, and according
to the free trade theory nothing should
interfere with the success and prosperity
Of their business, which involves large
amount Of money invested in the oyster
beds, in boats and tackle. The majority
of the oystermen along the southern
coast Of Long Island have heretofore
been steadfast Democrats. But since the

Nineteen out of twenty people are too lazy
to breathe properly. The rarity Of beauty
is not to be wondered at considering the
absolute necessity to health of abundant
fresh cir. Habitual deep breathing pro-
duces health and beauty not only by ex-
ercising tho muscles of the chest, but by
throwing back the head and compelling
tho whole body to assume . straight and
majestic attitude.

The Wolves and the Sheep.

Once ON q time the Wolves sent an
embassy to the Sheep, desiring that
there might be peace between them for
the time to come. "Why," said they,
"should we be forever waging this
deadly strife? Those wicked Dogs are
the cause Of it all; they are necessarily
barking at us and provoking u.s." The
silly Sheep listened, the Dogs were dis
missed, and the flock, thus deprived Of
their protection, became an easy prey
to their treacherous enemy.

Cobey of Stafford Springs. A few words from her interesting paper, which she gave in @ clear, earnest tone, "A famil- jar knowledge of their own surroundings will make the children eager to pursue farther. It is necessary to examine and interest them in order to awaken their imagination. Take the things near at hand, such as hills, brooks, weather, etc. Have them observe them carefully, and SO continue with illustrations until the child sees the whole world mirrored in the school ground. For example, take the weather; the child can be taught temper ature, and from the examination of a hill he can form his conception of mountains, volcanos, and from many hills grouped together an idea of a mountain range this we may style outdoor geography. Text works in geography gives more names than ideas, and we often forget that geography is an education in itself, and, though 1 don't by any means con- demn text books, yet say, use text books more as reference than guide. Fuller says, 'Cramming boys mind with cat
 alogue of names with places he will never see, with things he will never handle, is like loading boys stomach with mar
 bles.'" Miss Cobey gave an interesting imagination trip. She took her pupils from Norwich to the great metropolis
 New York city. Enroute she stopped al all interesting place, and when she finish
 ed the children declared, "It seemed as il they had been truly and really there,
 and what greater proof did she need of hel trip being interesting and profitable?

whole environment of life is downward, not upward. Ahorse that is whitewashed and painted once g gear, in which halls are lighted, in which sanitary regulations are obeyed, and bad smells, dirt, decay, disorder, are reduced to minimum, is lever that lifts and holds every home un- der its roof on the upward scale. The day is coming when an empty hospital, an unused home for the destitute, or an orphan asylum in ruins, will be the mark of advanced civilization. People will have learned how to live to preserve health; ; accidents will be so rare as to be calami- ties, for nerves and brain will be healthy enough to preserve the individual from rashness; and machinery will be so pro- tected as to cease to be danger. Every child born who lives to reach school age will be educated to use his abilities, great or small, and the only destitute will be the incapables whose mental and physical limitation will not be the badge of pauper- ism, but the appeal for special guidance and care. Orphans will not be massed, the blue-and- white e-checked waifs of so- ciety, but will be the un-uniformed resi- dents of the homes of citizens who, in gratitude for good done them by others, shelter those who are left parentless.
 Then, rum will not slay, for time and eternity, it's tens of thousands. No man will be indifferent to the conditions that his vote makes possible, and good gov. ernment will mean the administration oi the business of the ward, not merely the regulation of the tariff or the value oi money.

 Indifference to tenement-house property on the part of owners implies avarice or poor business ability. The tenement house property in any large city can be made either factor in the general i'm provement in the scale of living or men, ace to its health and morals. g
 Hundreds of women, who spend their time attending committee-m meetings for the amelioration of the condition of the poor and unfortunate, could accomplish much more for the worlds reform, do far more toward preventing the spread oi misery sickness and even death, If they would constitute themselves the agents oi their husbands property. Howl By keep ing the property in repair, exacting refer ences as to the character of tenants, com. polling obedience to sanitary laws both inside and outside of the four walls for which rent is paid, compelling the report ing of contagious disease, encouraging cleanliness and order, renting store prop erty for the sale of goods necessary in the home, refusing to rent for the sale of liq- uor except under the conditions prescribed by law, and naming those conditions in the lease. with the privilege of eiectment for violation. All these conditions the laws will sustain, and an interested agent could compel obedience to them.

Washington Star.) STRONG -LUNGED STATESMEN.

Lafe Pence of Colorado has high pen etrating voice, but it isn't circumstance to that of one of his predecessors, George C.. Symes, who died recently. Symes was an Ohioan by birth, served through the war in Wisconsin regiment, and lived most of his life in the Rocky Mountain region, where he was a lawyer and an or ator noted for his great voice. Compared with it the roar of the bull of Bashan was gentle murmur. It was deep heavy bass, proceeding, seemingly, from cavern ous depths. Explaining the reputation his voice had given him, he said one day i:
 "Well, I'll tell you about it," and the words rolled out in his deepest, heaviest bass. "You see, was out campaigning. I was addressing republican audience at Silverton. Over at Oroville, twenty miles distant, the democrats were holding a meeting. Along about 9 o'clock there came up one of the awful storms which occur in that mountain country. The wind howled like a million devils. It was specially bad at Oroville. The peo- pie showed signs of alarm and acted as if they wanted to break up the meeting and leave the hall. The chairman, becoming anxious, rose to reassure them. Ladies and gentlemen he said, do not be alarm ed. There is republican meeting over at Silverton, and George Symes is ad- dressing it. He has just come. to the part of his speech where he deuounces the Mills tariff bill, and the noise you hear is the indistinct rumbling of his voice."
 Symes's voice was equal to that of Governor William Allen of Ohio, com- monly called "Old Bill Allen" He was noted for having the most tremendous voice of the day. Once when he was a member of congress, before the days of railroads, one of his colleagues departed for his home in the Buckeye state. The day after he had left Allen was lamenting the fact that he had gone, as he wanted
