SUGAR CONSUMERS.
MARITIME PEOPLE SEEM EXCEL IN
ITS CONSUMPTION.

England is tho First In Sugar Consuinpt ion
because She Lcado as q Maritime row.
| er-The Sugar Producing Countries Do
Not Consume Much Of their Product.
| The sugar crop of the world amounts
| In normal year to about 5000, 900
tons, of which the larger part. $500. 900
tons. comes from beets, and the bal
ance, 35OO,000 tons, from sugar cane.
| or the latter the largest proportion
| comes from the West Indies, and a
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 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 10000 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 !, 1891, and July 1.
1895. bounty to be paid by the United
States government to sugar producers,
with 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 moderate amount
of sugar, like moderate amount of
salt, should enter into the dietary CT
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 curious fact that in those
countries in which the maritime spirit
the spirit of navigation, commerce,
travel and colonization-is strong,
there is 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
inhabitant. In Denmark 1t is As, in
Holland 81. in France 30, and in Nor
way and Sweden 20, whereas In Rus
sia it is only 10, in Italy 7, 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
10 pounds. while in Switzerland, in
which there Is no production to speak
or, it is A. 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
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 10
the average consumption of sugar in
the French republic.

a Royal Inn-kecper.

The King Of Wurtemburg may GER
tainly be said to he the only Knight Of
the Carter who is a hotel-keeper as
well as a monarch. This has long been
a tradition in his family, but not till
lately was it discovered by the rulers
of the beautiful little German kingdom
how profitable inn-keeping can be-
come. When Peter the Great was
travelling incognito through Europe he
refused to stop anywhere but at an inn.
To crcumvent this whim the then
King of Wurtemburg put a tavern sign
outside one of the royal palaces, and
dressed as an inn-keeper, himself well
coined the czar. This royal personage's
descendant now owns two large hotels,
from which he is said to derive a rev.
