Within few weeks there bias been
something that may, without disrespect,
be called a ceutenaran boom. The pa

who have celebrated their birthdays at

There was one man who claimed to be
/ 81 years old, but the date of his fara-
way birthday was not satisfactorily
authenticated. Some time ago appeared
b volume whose avowed purpose 1t was
10 discredit the centenarian business
generally. Its author was inclined to
'class these wonderful examples of long
'evity with the sea serpent, the phWniX

tempted to prove by elaborate statistics
that it is far more probable that the sol
1isant centenarian was more liable to be
n error or to lie regarding the precise
Hate of his birth than that he should
have passed the century mark; and that

SUGAR CONSUMERS.
MARITIME PEOPLE SEEM TO EXCEL IN
ITS CONSUMPTION.

MARITIME PEOPLE SEEM TO EXCEL IN
ITS CONSUMPTION.
England Is the FIRST in Sugar Consumption
because She Leads as a Maritime Pow
er-The Sugar Producing Countries DO
Not Consume Much of their Product.
The sugar crop Of the world amounts
in a normal year to about 100000
tons, of which the larger part, 100000
tons, comes from beets, and the ball
ance. 100000 tons, from sugar cane.
OF the latter the largest proportion
comes from the West Indies, and
large amount from the Island of Java.
Among the countries producing beet
sugar, Germany comes first, with about
one-third of the worlds crop; then
Austria, with about as much, and then
France, Russia and Belgium and Hol-
land together, with substantially the
same quantity.
In respect Of the production Of beet
sugar in the United States there has
been a vast increase since the estab-
lishment of the Mckinley tariff of 1890.
The year previous the American prod
uct was $500 tons. Two years later it
was 1900 tons. Four years later 1t
was 10000 tons Last year it was 49,
600 tons, and the product is on the in
crease. The Mckinley tariff establish
ed between July l, 1891, and July 1,
1895, a bounty to be paid by the United
States government to sugar producers,
with a view of stimulating the industry
and compensating those engaged in it
for the changes made in the duty upon
imported sugar.
Among scientists the opinion has
been general that a moderate amount
of sugar, like a moderate amount Of
salt, should enter into the dietary of
the people of each nation, but is only
when the figures OF the consumption Of
sugar are examined that it is seen that
the quantity consumed varies radically
and it is a curious fact that in those
countries in which the maritime spirit
the spirit of navigation, commerce.
travel and cOlonization-is strong
there is a very considerable consump-
ton of sugar per capita, whereas in
those countries in which these quail
ties are not predominant among the
Inhabitants the consumption is smaller
In England, first among the maritime
nations of the world the consumption
of sugar is So pounds year for each
inhabitaut. In Denmark it is As, in
Holland 81, in France 30. and in Nor
way and Sweden rs whereas in Rus
STA it is only 10, in italy Z, in Turkey 7,
in Greece 6, and Servia 4. The con-
sumption of sugar seems to have very
little connection with or relation to
the production of sugar, for in Aus
tria, the sugar product Of which is
large, the average consumption is only
- pounds, while in Switzerland, in
which there is no production to speak
Of, it is IA. And another curious phase
Of the matter is that there is a great
disparity in the consumption of sugar
in the two tea-drinking Countries
England and Russia. The large
amount of sugar consumed in France
is attributed, in part. to the fact that
the French confectiOners and candy
makers, and more especially those do
ing business in the city of Paris, use
in their trade enormous quantities Of
sugar in a year, adding abnormally to
the average consumption of sugar in
the French republic

"a tradition in his family, but not till

Of the beautiful little German kingdom
how profitable inn-keeping can be-

travelling incognito through Europe he
refused to stop anywhere but at an inn.
To circumvent this within the then
King of Wurtemburg put tavern sign

We faii 10 see why the vaTions
State officials to be elected this
year should be elected upon any
"goldn, or "s;:ilgern platform. What
have the duties of these officials
TO do with national issues, or
rather, with what were national
issues two years ago? Fusion, on
behalf of silver, may sound spe-
cious enough when explained by
selfish politicians who spend their
spare time scheming to fool the
voters. But why should the peo-
Pile of Colorado be lined up in
bitter antagonism to fight the
coming election on any question
of national importance? They
want, unless we are sadly mistak-
en-, thoroughly competent and
honest men to administer the
State offices. What concern is it
of theirs whether these men are
bimetallists or monometallists or
greenbackers, SO long as they at
tend to the performance of their
duties and do not use their offices
for the purpose of partisanship?
We want business like set of
State officials and no barter for
Doodle only betwixt parties or
individuals.
