port discounts on protected manu-
features, and published some years
since, the pamphlet on the Sugar
Distribution by Hon. John DE
Witt Warner, just issued by the
New York Reform Club, is per-
haps the most interesting OF Its
wide known series.
Treating as it does of a subject
as to which vague intimations
have for years been made on every |
hand. it presents the summarized
results of all investigation reach
ing every corner of the United
States and based upon what Is
evidently an enormous collection
of original MISUNDERSTANDING
accounts, correspondence, MIMI
ties and proceedings of local organ
izations-which Jay open to view
the workings of the sugar trust,
from its very inception, along the
lines in which it most directly at
fects the American people. I'D
The secret history is given Of a
complete system of Wholesale
Grocers Associations, each subsi-
diary to the sugar trust and paid
by it a generous commission on
their keeping the price of sugars
up to the point dictated by the
trust; while the copies of CORE
spondence and accounts furnished
leave nothing to be desired in the
way of accurate detail.
The authors conclusion is per-
haps the best summary of the de-
tails given:
with the Spreckels in control
of Hawaii, and the Havemeyers
extending their plantations in Gu
ba, the trust dictates to every
branch of sugar production and
distribution in the United States,
taking under its wing every one
concerned-except those who con-
sumo sugar. From its Office, at III
Wall Street, cable messages fly
daily to its agents in Cuba, fixing
the price of raw sugars there; to
San Francisco announcing Gu
ban party at which arriving Ha-
waiian sugars are to be valued; to
Louisiana, telling her planters
what-in view of Cuban and Ha-
waiian prices-the trust condos
cends to offer for American SUI
gar; and to its representatives all
over the world, giving the limit
based on Cuban parity-at which
they can pick up Austrian, Javan

Pathetic Tale of "A Rat.

A touching story of a rat comes from
Rickmansworth. The hero is old and
blind. He lives with his family on a
sewage farm, and since he has lost the
use of his eyes he has taken his daily
airing with two of the younger men,
bers of his family. To guard against
misadventures the three go abreast,
with a piece of stick in their mouths,
which the youngsters use as tiller to
steer the blind gentleman with. Thus
fortified the afflicted rat is enabled to
take his walks over his native sewage
farm, crossing planks and eluding dogs
as in the days of his youth and vigor.
Even the lady who ''cut off their tails
with the carving knife will have no
chance against the blind rat of Rick
mansworth. h.-Westminster Gazette.

THE CITY



For costly flowers, she stated,
In Q murmur animated.
Her taste had been quite stated.
And she could not countenance
The girls who love to fritter
Their cash on things that glitter.
Yes, she liked q gown to fit her,
But she spurned extravaganza.
She liked things. oh, 80 simple.
And she conjured up dimple
That set my heart q rimple
With q love youth comprehend,
And she said she thought twas funny,
With q voice as sweet az honey,
Other girls should sQuander money
On the things that have no end.
With her sweet blue eyes uplifted,
She despised the maids who shifted
From one man to one more gifted
With the wherewithal to pay,
And she sighed with deep emotion
At those trips across the ocean
Just to humor some girls notion
When twas best at home to stay.
And in tones that knew no quelling
She grew eloquent in telling
OF the carved and figured dwelling
That the modern girl desired.
Such q wastel Twas characteristic
OF the sex, SO inartistic!
And she grew quite syll0gistic
With the theme she had inspired.
Surely, I declared, she TESTED,
And, quite deeply interested,
From this maiden requested
A much more explicit view
OF the kind of house she wanted
For with love my heart was haunted
And she said, with face undaunted,
That plain brownstone would do.

MINED RELATIONSHIP,
The Baby Son of a. Duchess Cousin of |
His Mother.
From the Youths COMPANION.

From the Youths Companion.
Among the hardest things which the in
FAINT Prince Edward of the royal house OF
England, the little son of the Duke of York
and heir-expectant to the throne, will have
to straighteu out when he Is older is his
relationship to his own father and mother.
1t constitutes a problem such as is seldom
found outside of princely houses.
1t is certain, however, that he is the
third cousin of his father and also the sec
ond cousin of his mother. This makes his
relation to himself somewhere between that
of a third and fourth cousin.
He is, as it were, his own double third
cousin-a rela tionship which will doubtless
take some time for him to comprehend.
ed from George Ill. of England. George
Ills son Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge
had a daughter Mary, who married the
Duke of Teck and became the mother OF
the Princess May, who married the Duke
of York, and the Duke of York's father
the Prince of Wales, is the great grandson
Of the same King George ILL.,
The young prince will have the right to
address either his mother, his father or
himself as my royal cousin" and he may,
perhaps, excuse any Partially for his
mother over his father by declaring that
she is a nearer relation to him than his
father.
The princely families of Europe supply
many similar cases of tangled relationship,
growing out of the successive intermar-
riages of cousins in nearer or remoter de-
grees.
