Sugar is now considered as
specially good food for hard work
ers. Alpine climbers have taken
to the use of candy, and so have
the Swiss guides. 1t is found that
the source of muscular force is not
in heterogeneous or albuminous sub
stances clean meat, but in the
carbohydrates (starch, sugar and
fats). After muscular work the
blood is very poor in sugar, but,
it is found, that a small quantity
of sugar eaten suffces to regain
the muscular energy. The Ger
man army authorities have given
much attention to this matter, and
it is said sugar, that is natural
sugar, not saccharin, is to be sup
piled to the soldiers in much larger
quantities, There is plenty of
room then tor charging the worlds
sugar supply, and this is good
news for the Hawaiian Islands.

men who bore the same name, but the
lonely, unmourned death of the wander
ing prospector would at least have given
a fitting end to the career of the most ac-
cursed and most noted marine criminal Of
the century. To be condemned TO live,
with the consciousness of that awful guilt
upon him, was. no doubt, 4 more terrible
fate for the rim gleader of the Junior mu.iny
than tue speedy death on the gallows
he so richly deserved.
Many a man and woman in New Bed
ford, in their horror at the crimes of
Cyrus w. Plummer and in the heat o
their righteous Indignation when the skill
of such famous lawyers as Ben Butler and
Richard II. Dena saved him from the ex-
treme penalty OF the law, declared that
justice was at an end iE New England.
But if the laws OF man fail at times, ap-
parentlv, hey but fulfill the DEGREES of
The Great Law, wherein justice is truly a
blind goddess and the scales unerring.

walked erect and put forward the left foot

and remem bered by frontiersmen. He
had been a sailor, for he could tie more
knots in a rope than cow-pUnche-. He
came from the States, but no one knew

These crimes were nurtuIed in discon-
tent and hatred Tor lawful authority from
almost the day the ship Junior sailed out
OF New Bedford harbor, July 81, 1857, and
were executed with an extraordinary
ferocitv and malice on Christmas morn

were David X. Greene, Robert B. Greene,

The cap ain proved a nard taskmaster
and Mate Provost was said-at the trial
which followed the capture and return of
the mutineers-to have been an excep-
uonally cruel man. II was also testified
that the food was of very inferior quailty
an that the men were not only ill
treated, but underIed. However true
these charges may have been they could
IN no manner have paIliated the crimes of
Piummer and his followers, but merely
have increased the responsibility for

dissatisfied and growing over their poor

and it was not long before he had a suffi-
cient following among them to warran.
him in an attempt to seize the ship. All
the mutineers were sworn by Plummer
upon the Bible to hang together.
When off Fayal, in the Western

proved unsuccessful, and Piummer and
his men were punished for il. A few
weeks later a second attempt also proved
futile, but the third essay, made while
