CANE SUGAR PREFERRED

Certain Aromatic Compounds Not
Contained I'm sugar Reefs.
The Louisiana Planter says that
there have appeared recently in some
of the London newspapers, among
others in the Standard, certain num-
Der of letters pointing out the evident
superiority of cane over beet sugar,
fact which nobody can we'll deny, in
spite of the similar chemical compost
being equally refined. 1t is known that
certain aromatic compounds of agree
able odOr, approaching in nature TO the
benzoii and vanilla series of COM
pounds. are produced by the cane, but
are entirely absent from the beet.
They are the result of the warm eli
mate in which the cane grows, and are
not produced by the sugar-yielding
plants of colder regions. For the same
reason the wine from the vines OF Bor-
deaux is better that from the vines or
Paris.
The writer of one of these letters,
after claiming for cane sugar superior
sweetness and greater efficacy in MAX
ing preserves. alluded to the sweet
perfume arising from crude cane sug-
ar in comparison to the very nauseous
odor which arises from beet sugar; and
this alone, he says, would enable any
one to distinguish cane sugar from
beet sugar with his eyes shut. The OBJ
iect of these few lines is to point out
the cause of the same. Even refined
sugar will retain a certain minute
amount of these aromatic bodies,
which are not only agreeable to the
olfactory nerves, but exert, as every
one knows. valuable antiseptic proper
ties most conspicuous in salicylic acid
salicylol which belong to the same
series; and if any one places his nose
over large jar of sugar and perceives
a disagreeable odor, he may be pretty
certain that beet sugar is present.

New Zealand Railways.

The Minister of Railways, says the
New Zealand Herald, estimates the
earnings of the railways during the
financial year just ending will exceed
the earnings of last year by nearly
e1IOOOO. The increased expenditure
necessary to earn this amount will
not exceed 100000. The amount eX-
pended in maintenance and ballastfng
lines has been in excess of the amount
spent in any previous year, while
something like 100000 has been eX-
pended in the construction and replac-
ing of rolling stock, trucks, carriages
and engines. So far as the passenger
and general traffic is concerned this
wear will work out at about 23 IS Cd
per cent. as compared with 60 los last
wear. and e2 14s Sd for the previous
wear. This years earnings, 31s per
cent, are the highest on record since
1888.

OPIUM IN COAT.
Prominent Lawyer Found With
a Lichee Nutful.

Now comes another good story on
a lawyer of Honolulu, who bought a
new coat Monday and walked into the
Deputy MarshaTs Office, as if ready to
make a brilliant speech. The Marshal
and his deputy were both in the Office
The conversation turned on searching
people on the streets for opium. The
lawyer maintained that no one had q
right TO search him, and if any one
did he would make it especially warm
and uncomfortable for that person, it
mattered not whom he might be.
Just then a lichee nut with opium N
il was dropped in the lawyers pocket.
He walked about the room daring any
one TO search him, and then sat down
in a cane chair, perfectly confident
that he had won the day.
Soon came the order: Stand up, sir
and be searched" Thinking that now
he had a damage suit. which would fill
his pockets with all sorts of money. he
stood up and allowed himself to be
searched. A hand went into one of the
pockets of his coat, and a lichee nut
filled with opium was drawn forth
The aspect of boIdness disappeared
from the lawyers face, and he began
to speculate feebly on the source
from which the opium had come. Then,
remembering where he had just bought
the coat, and was about to start off
on a run after the parties when the
whole plan of the joke was unfolded,
and he tumbled, but not gracefully.
He afterwards explained to friend
that it was a practical illustration of
how easy it would be for some of the
police sleuths to drop opium into
Chinaman's pocket, and then arrest
him for having it in possession.

SEATTLE (Wash), April in. M.
Baker, linotype operator, yesterday
made new worlds record for eight

ordinary working hours in compost
ton on a book now under publication
from manuscript copy. and no prelim-
mary preparations. Baker, who is an
ordinarily rapid compositor, simply
made the announcement that he would
attempt to beat the record and re-
quested that a man be detailed to time
him and others to measure his string.
He started in at the usual hour of COM
position, took an hour for lunch and
made the record above in eight hours
actual work. The lowest for any single
hour was 10,050 ems. the drop being
due to technical terms.

For two or three years prospectOrs and
miners have been active and prosper
Gus in an extensive auriferous region
round about Rainy Lake, and now gold
has been discovered on Oak Point
island in that lake, and Canada has
issued patents to several valuable min
ing locations on the island, and Amer
lean miners are flooding Washington
with energetic protests against this
action. According to the maps of the
geological survey the island is in Can
adam territory, but according to the
warding in the treaty of Client the
island is a part of the state of Minneso-

there are liable to precipitate a rebel
lion, just as they did in Australia in
