drinkers do. Tea drinking countries
are the greater consumers Of sugar.
In Spain, where chocolate Is more popu-

where coffee is proyerbially popular,

relatively less used. The annual con-

Is now 100000 tons, which 10 about

United States pay annually over t10s,-

consumption Of sugar is at the rate of
seventy pounds per capita, the average

An Act of Homage.

AT the recent celebration Of the cor
onstion of the car a beautiful Ameri-
can girl, who had the honor Of a special
invitation to all the state functions, at
tracted much attention, and among her
many admirers was a magnificent, alto
gether illustrious young grandee Of thu
east attached to the suite of the Am
Chang. This youth calmly announced
to her people that he would like to buy
her, whatever the price might be. When
1t was explained to him that American
girls were not regarded as marketable
commodities, and that in any event her
family did not desire to part with her,
he was greatly disappointed; but grace
fully accepting his dismissal, he asked
leave to perform to her an ''act Of hon.
age" such as were offered in his coun-
try TO princesses Of the blood royal.
This courtesy, Of course, could not be
refused, and a day was appointed for
the ceremonial, the young lady and her
friends feeling naturally very curious
and trifie nervous as to what this 'act
Of homage" might consist Of At the
time appointed the young oriental
noble arrived, accompanied by a nu-
merous retiuue Of friends and servants,
quite like Aladdin in the story Of the
wonderful lamp. All were clad in the
most magnificent garments. They
drew up before the house where the
girl was staying, while the rejected
sutton, or rather the would-be purchas-
er, with a smaller following, entered,
his attendants bearing an enormous
horseshoe or half circlet Of flowers.
This he laid at the young lady's feet,
while he delivered an equally flowery
Grafton in his native tongue, which
was translated for her benefit by his
interpreter. 1t was altogether an en-
barrassing but very pretty ceremonial

to become when they grow into man.

A Swedish boy fell out of a window
and was severely hurt, but with elench-
ed lips he kept back the cry Of pain.
The King Gustavus Adolphus, who saw
the fall, propheSied that that boy would
make a man for an emergency; and
% he did, for he became the famous
Gen. Bauer.
A woman fell OF the dock In Italy.
She was fat and frightened. No one
Of the crowd Of men dared to jump

almost as soon as she, and managed to
keep her up until stronger arms got

Probable Fate Of the OIL Tank ST cam
Wild flower

New York, Feb. Capt Anderson Of
the tank steamer Phospor, which got into
port yesterday after i twenty DAYS trjp
from Shields, told story that proba bIy
accounts for the mona rrival in England OF
the British tank Wildflower, which left
Philadelphia for Ruuen, France, on De-
cenber ii last, and has never been heard
Of since. The vessel had 1900 900 gal
Ions OF petroleum on board.
Capt. Anderson says that Just before he
sailed from Shields ON January / . he heard
a story that convinced him that the Wild
flower had made her last voyage. 1t was
this: The steamship Loeb Etive, from New
York December "a Tor Cork, reported on
her arrival there January that about
25O miles west southwest from the coast
Of Ireland ON January the crew saw
sudden glare in the sky. As far as the eve
could see To the westward the sky was a
vivid red for moment, and then it died
out slowly, until in half hour the sky
was again in darkness.
few seconds after the first glare a
dull roar, like the discharge OF a heavy
gun, made the Loeb Etive vibrate and rock.
When Capt. Anderson found that the Wild
flower had not yet made port he became
convinced that the flare up was the ex
tanks. There were twenty-nine men on
the missing vessel She was in Cur.mand
