Much is said nowadays in agricultural
newspapers about making sugar from
bcets. The experience of France and
Germany long ago showed that this can
be done piotitably where labor is cheap
enough. 1t is in this connection that
American Cultivator says:
"There is much land in all our north
ern states where good boets for sugar
making can be grown, In New York
state. under the influence of a state
bounty on beet sugar, several beet sugar
factories have been started this year.
While the sugar making experiments
have been entirely successful it is not
yet certain whether the sugar can be
produced at u profit to the manufaotur.
ers. But as the price paid for tho beets
is only IS per ton it is doubtful whether
many farmers who live near markets
can grow and haul their beets to the fac.
tories for the price. Farther from the
factories there would be increased cost
of transporting the beets to the places
where the sugar is to be manufactured.
The farmer who grows beets at this
price gives much labor and gets very lit.

after enjoying themselves, got in their car
riage aud started homeward.
Instead of driving out Market street as
they supposed they were on Front street,
and at French street turned their horse
down the street. The drive continued un.
til the carriage was stopped by log at
the wharf which SO suddenly prevented
the progress of the horse that he broke
from the harness and tumbled into the
creek. The young men were astounded
at reaching such goal and upon recover
ing themselyes. set about to recover the
horse.
But before assistance could be obtained
the strong tide carried tho animal out OF
sight. For two hours John McManus and
Frank Fox dragged the creek in the vic!n.
ity of the wharf believing the animal to
have been drowned. This morning at
o'clock as Frank Hyatt, boss of the Pussy
& Jones Company's stables, was near tho
Company's dry dock he saw tho animal
there in tho water up to its knees.
Mr. Hyatt called Lewis Moore and with

hauled the horse on terra flrma, took him
to the stable, blanketed and rubbed him,

The Passion PLAY,

The one great surprise in the presenta-
ton of the Passion Play Is the fact that 1t
has become SO sacred to tho clergymen Of
the country that they have requested tba5
1t be taken out of theatres where it was
produced in Boston, Philadelphia and
Washington. For this reason the Audit
orium has been selected for next week
commencing Monday, us the place, for.the
play.
Among the many earnest and fervid Ell
dorsements of the clergymen is that OF tho
Rev. ]. H. Wiley Of Boston, who says am
glad that awaited myself Of the oppor-
tunity Of witnessing the passion Play"
on the evening of the 4th inst, and will
say hat it was far beyond my sanguine
expectations and do wish that every stage
was occupied with like plays, and II so, the
world no doubt would be better. There
will be many persons to search the Bible
for greater light and truth after seeing
tho play and hearing the able lecture &C.
companying it who would not make this
important search otherwise as they are not
churchgoors. Therefore l commend tho
work to all rs ono of the streams through
which g. great number will DO iloated into
the main channel of Faith in Christ.
