SUGAR MAKING IN CUBA.
The Crude Methods That Were In Use
Twenty Years Ago.

Twenty years ago, in those times OF
| slavery and high prices, but little atten-
ton was given to machinery or engi-
neerlng. Planters were content to get
what tonnage of cane they could from
an acre of land.
The cane was brought to the sugar
house, where the laborers slowly put it
on the carrier, passing it to the mill,
where it was rolled or ground between
tine rolls of q three roller mill to extract
the juice, getting an extraction of 90
per cent out of possible SO or 6S per
cent of the whole weight in the cane
The cane was brought to the sugar
house train which was set of four
or five kettles set in brickwork, having
strong fire under the smallest or
strike" kettle. The flames passed I'M
der and around all the kettles, the I'M
consumed gases escaping through a
chimney. The combustion was SO imper-
feet that at night flames could be seen
many feet high, coming from the top Of
the chimney.
The largest of these kettles received
the raw juice, and there it was lined
and skinned as the impurities rose. 1t
was then ladled to the next kettle in
succession, each time being thickened in
density and reduced in bulk by evapora-
ton until it arrived at the "strike''
kettle, where skilled attendant knew
the exact point at which to stop the fire
and ladle out the mass into the crystal
LIKING pans, in which it was allowed to
cool.
In few days it was firm enough to
be taken out, placed in hogsheads and
allowed to drain in the storehousea,
losing at least one-sixth in dripping mo-
lasses. The hogsheads were then repack-
ed and placed on carts and drawn many
miles to the railroad for shipment to
the merchants stores at the seacoast,
where they were again allowed to drain,
We're repacked. reweighed and sold, thus
piling up an expense account that made
the profits look slim; but as sugar was
selling at high rate. these expenses
could be borne = o . Et&zgas VI SAss

"In addition to the Burmese and Indian

there Is quito Oh armory of Burmese
weapons, beautifully carved bronze guns.

are, however. less interesting to many of

is invested with a fresh charm by his lord

OF the other art treasures scattered about
tho home of the Dufferin family. On the
great staircase, in n position where 1t must
arrest the attention of every one, Is a fan
painted by Princess Louise and presented
to tho Marchioness of Dufferin by the
royal artist. The subject of the painting
is skating party in Canada, very deli
cately and brightly oolored, and so ami
mated in effect as to suggest sketch taken
on the spot. The one legged effect of so
many skating pictures is avoided by tho
introduction of children's figures in pic
turesque Canadian skating dress.
Lady Dufferin's boudoir is a perfect
marvel Of tasteful and brilliant coloring,
every portion of wall and ceiling being
painted in soft French shades Of pink and
green, blue and gold. with panels of terra

taste of Lord Dufferin, who Is q great lover
of colors, and seems to be just q little

heavy black eyelashes and their long, dark

OLD FASHIONED COURTESY.
He Had 1t, but He Seemed to Be the
Only One Present.

He was an extremely polite man-in
fact, that was the cause Of all the trou-
BILE. His ideas were of the old fashioned
school, and he had given very little
thought to the new woman. He ell
tered cafeteria, because he was in
hurry and felt that he did not have the
time to patronize Il restaurant where
walters are thrown in without extra
charge.
He made up his mind what he want
ed very promptly, but there was hitch
when it came to getting it. -Four times
his idea of what was due to the bloomer
sex led him to give up his place in line
and begin all over again, and not once
was he thanked for it. He was about to
do it for the fifth time when one Of the
girls behind the counter took pity on
him and asked what he wanted before
he had time to get out of the line
AT the coffee counter his Difference
to the fair sex held him back for some
thing like IS minutes, but he finally
reached table
Then he went after water. He filled a
glass and noticed young woman stand
ing beside him. He offered it to her;
and she took it and returned to her TIA
BILE. He filled another glass and cour-
teously handed that to another young
woman who happened along just in
time. He went on filling glasses, and
young women and old women seemed
almost to rise from the floor to take
them. He could not think of marching
away with glass Of water himself
while lady was waiting to get one.
1t would be manifestly impolite.
But-well, he finally had to shut his
eyes and pretend no woman was wait
ing in order to get away without doing
violence to his ideas of courtesy, and
then he found that woman had calmly
pushed his things away and taken the
seat he had reserved for himself at ono
Of the tables, and his coffee was cold
too.
This explains why he has decided
that the old fashioned ideas of courtesy
are outlawed by bloomers, bicycles and
business. Chicago Post.
