beet crop are given. The first was
given as 3,83O,OOO to 4, 10000 tons,
the second {, 687, 900, third 100000
and the fourth popular estimate"
was 3,80O,000 tons. In consider
ing the weight of visible supplies
of cane and beet sugars it is found
that the statistics have proven I'M
reliable through mistakes having
been detected in the totals repre-
senting the Cuban stocks, which,
it appears, "have been counted
twice over to the tune of about
10000 tons, and what is more the
mistakes are openly acknowledged
by their authors"
To this marked unreliability of
statistics, evidently the work OF
spectators, is credited the extra
caution that is shown by the ''home
trade" The majority prefer wait
ing for chances which the future
may unfold, to following the lead
of those who are obviously attempt
ing to manipulate the market.

UNRELIABLE SUGAR STATISTICS.

In a recent issue of the Grocer,
one of the best-informed trade Jour-
nails in the London market, is given
a statement of the wide diversity
of estimates of the new beet sugar
crops on the continent, and the
visible sugar supplies in all coun-
tries. This authority maintains
that at no time in the history of
the sugar industry have the esti-
mates differed so much from the
actual average of former years.
This extreme variance, instead of
assisting the trade in forming
correct idea of what is likely to be
the aggregate yield for 1866
has made it extremely perplexing
to those interested, in coming to a
correct conclusion.
Granted that it is difficult, if
not impossible, at the very begin
ming of a new season to reckon
with precision what the crops of
beet or any other kind of produce
are expected to amount to, it is
nevertheless, reasonable to suppose
that the authorities who take upon
themselves the duty of enlighten-
ing the sugar trade as to the pro-
bable outturn of the next years
crop should agree with one another
pretty closely upon the same sub
ject, when all are understood to
possess equal means and facilities
for obtaining the fullest informa-
ton on the question from the most
reliable quarters. But, far from
being in unison, or anything ap-
preaching it, each authority is en-
tirely at variance with his neigh !
Dor, and the inconsistencies and |
contradictions in their estimates
which have been published within
the last month or two have been
unaccountably glaring in their
character, SO as to deprive, in a
measure, the results arrived at of
their real worth and Importance"
To prove the truth of these asser-
tons, examples of the various pop
ular estimates of the continental

the departments are de

you occasionally find such

humanity consists not in squeam-

story of human suffering and en-

The Cars Infant Daughter.

Prince Charles of Denmark has been ex.
ercising his ingenuity in drawing the hor.
oscope of the czar's infant daughter. The
Grand Duchess Olga, If her life is pre-.
served, will be of medium height. This,
the prince informs us, is clearly seen from
the positions Of Jupiter, the Bull, and
Neptune at the moment of her birth. The
same data apparently vouch for the pre-.
diction that her hair will be brown and
slightly ourled; that her eyes will be dark,
and her face inclined to roundness The
rest of the horoscope is less satisfactory. Al
the age of little Olga may suffer a very
severe illness. The horoscope further dis.
covers critical periods at her third, fourth,
sixth, seventh and eighth years. He does
not guarantee that she will even reach the
last named age, but If she does she will
assuredly reach 20. This at least is IL
years of peace to be thankful for. 1t Is
certain, however, that she will never live
to be 80. It is much more certain If the
report is true that astrologers-even when
princes occasionally be guilty of ex-
ceedingly bad taste. Westminster Ga

Lean Year.

Why is it called leap year9 1t is because
the Julian calendar, in which the custom
of adding day to February every fourth
year was introduced, provided that the ad-
ditional day should be inserted not at the
end of the month, but six days earlier,
forming second sixth day; hence arose
the word bissextile, which is still retained
as the name of the year in which the addi-
tional day is inserted, though now it is
added at the end of the month. The
name leap year refers to the fact that for a
year after insertion of the additional day
each date comes two days later in the
week than it came the previous year, in
stead of on the following day Of the week,
as in ordinary years. The dates may be
said to leap over a day, and hence the
name.-Boston Herald.

Compressive Strengths.


A piece of cast iron an inch square will
resist from 80, 900 to 1876, 900 pounds before
crushing or breaking. It gives no warn
ing, but goes at once, with loud report,
while many other metals give warning or
60 gradually under the strain. Whenever
we say the crushing or tensile strength of
material is SO much, we always mean SO
much per square inch of cross section.
Ordinary white pine will support 2,00O
pounds per square inch, while piece Of
granite one inch square will support 30. 600
pounds, which, as you know, is ten tons.
Here is table of compressive strengths
for your scrapbook:
Cast iron, $4,000 to $4,000 pounds;
wrought iron, 10000 to $4,000 pounds;
steel, 55, 900 to 10000 pounds.
Yellow pine, $500 pounds; oak, 5000
pounds; spruce, $500 pounds; white pine,
1900 pounds.
Trap rock, 10000 to $4,000 pounds;
granite, $4,000 to 81, 200 pounds; marble,
5000 to 10000 pounds; limestone, 1000
to 0,000 pounds; sandstone, 5000 to Is,

4 Lesson For tho Lawyer.

Country lawyers are often forced by the
scarcity of business to look very sharp for
opportunities to draw up wills and per-
form other illegal" services. A stranger
of mature years, a carpenter, who had
come to certain town to work at his
trade, was asked several times by local
lawyer If he did not think he had better
make his will. At last the carpenter took
the delighted lawyer aside and said to him,
with an important air:
81 amt quite ready to make my will,
but when am I'll let you do it."
"Goodl But now's the time to draw it
upr'
SWELL, the fact is, I've had a disagree
ment with my sister Jane, and amt 60
ing to leave her farthing."
Good! But have you any other rela-
tives?"
"Yes; one sister and nephew"
"Good! Any disagreement with them9"
"None whatever. But ain't-I'll tell
1t to you particular-I ain t going to leave
either of them a farthing neither!"
Now, why is that, pray?"
Because haven't got farthing to
leave to anybody"
Whereupon the lawyer hastily took his
departure and troubled the carpenter no
more about his will.--London Tit-Bits
