'N|LLETT Z GRAY'S IDEAS
SPECULATION ON THE FUTURE
OF SUGAR.
Philippines and Cuba Will Not Cut a
Great Figure in Some Time to Come
If At All.

Willett q Gray, the New York ex
perts, issue in their last letter, reCeiv-
ed per the Australia by Honolulu mer-
chants, interesting representations on
the future of sugar They consider the
market rather encouraging, but speak
doubtfully of a temporary effect "a
probable forced sale of the Cuban crop
may bring about. OF the present sta
tus of raws they say:
There has been a certain activity
i'm the raw sugar market all the week
growing out of the absence of sugars
on the market for sale. Quotations are
lie cents per pound higher on very
small reported transactions, although
it is understood that larger quantities
have been placed at the same parity
for arrival on the cost and freight ba-
sis. Market closes with strong up
ward tendency.
"The steady advance of beet sugars
! in Europe from 9s Id, January 18th, TO
| 9s 9&d, is said to be caused by the
scarcity of ready sugars available for
| February deliveries, contracted for.
! The prospects of free selling of Cuba
and other new crop cane sugars are
not as great as was recently expected,
and if Withholding of supplies should
exist to any extent, the necessities Of
refiners would cause further improve
ment i'm prices
Speaking of the future of domestic
! sugars, the firm says: THE activity
| displayed in the extensive promotion
| of the beet sugar industry in the Unit
| ed States calls for more than passing
| notice. Reorganzations of existing cor
porations are being made and the
stocks are being dealt in on the street
| in anticipation of regular listing on
| the exchange later on.
TT is perhaps well to call attention
to the changing sentiment in favor of
the safety of beet sugar investments
by capitalists. 1t has been thought
that the acquisition of Porto Rico, Gu
ba and the Philippines would count
against this industry, but it now be-
gins to be more evident from the pro
gress of the discussion in congress thai
it will be many years yet before SUI
CARS are admitted free of duty from
| these countries, except as to Porto Ri
co. Even if the duties were removed
from sugar imported from Cuba ant
the Philippines. still it must be eX
pected that export duties or productive
taxes on sugar would need to be as
sessed in those islands to pay the eX
penses of the local governments. Thu
would enhance the cost and prove u
be some protection, at least to the su
gar produced at home. 1t is probabI!
advisable for intending buyers to hav'
their orders in to take advantage o
any temporary reaction

SCROFULA
It is Foul BIood's Advertise.
ment
But 1t is Soon Cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

Yes, scrofula, II anything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. IL IN the
scourge of the world - offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with im-
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines thas
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking a few bottles.
She has had no symptoms of scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA Nj.

A Bsbv's Strange Death.

The three-year-old baby, Lawrence
Engeln, whose parents live in Chicago
met death recently through one of the
strangest accidents ever recorded In
Chicago. Lawrence's mother was busy
in the house and had left the little fell
low to amuse himself on the back
porch of the fiat The child frolicked
about for some time when a dangling
clothes line attracted his attention.
Reaching up and out from the railing
of the porch the baby seized it.
At the end moose had been tied and
the baby soon began to experiment
with it. The fodder pushed his head
through the moose and looked about,
proud Of the exploit.
A moment LAGER the baby lost his
footing and was swung OH the porch,
the rope tightening around his neck,
his little hands clutching ut the moose
in helpless desperation. He tried to
scream, but the choking rope cut off
the cry. Rosie Thomas, a neighbor,
happened to see the struggling baby
swinging at the end Of the rope and
screamed for Mrs. Engeln. The moth
er rushed frantically upon the porch
and grasped at the rope. She disen-
gagged the rope from its tiny neck, but
the baby's life was gone.-New York

Valet 10 the Shark.

The shark and pilot fish are occa.
sionally found In the Southern Califor.
mia sea waters. The pilot fish Is known
as Naucrates ductor. Without the
partnership of the shark 1t would die.
Attacked to the skin of the sharks
head 1t repays it's big and savage ally
for it's llabitation there by plotting the
shark to food. How the little fish
does that is one Of the unknown things
Of our branch Of science. The pilot
fish Is about seven inches long and has
the calibre of mans wrist. 1t Is
smooth and dark-skinned. 1t has an
oval mouth under the head, and the
mouth enables II to get firm hold by
sucking. BY this means the pilot fish
attaches itself at will to shark, gen.
orally between the big fish's eyes, and
when once fastened there II sucks its
sustenance from the shark, and gets
free transportation. This fish acts as
q valet for deep-sea sharks. 1. Is the
pomilus of the anclents, who described
It as pointing out the way to embar-
raised sailors. They regarded II as a
sacred fish.

People outside the pale often wonder
how newspaper men are able to ac-
complish certain matters that seem to
present innumerable obstacles. Here
IL how the trick was done in one in
stance. After the landing had been
effected Mt Baiquiri. Cuba, forty war
correspondents marched up and down
the beach at that place breathing dire
vengeance on everything and every
body they came across. The United
States Government through It's repre-
sentatives Mt the front had served on
us due notice that mot one pound OF our
baggage could be transported from
Baiquiri to Siboney in Government
vessel under any circumstances, re-
Iates the correspondent of the San
Francisco Chronicle. Well, among
other trifies that this order would have
compelled us to carry along for four
teen miles We're a Bozacott oven,
weighing over 200 pounds, large
number Of tents, valises, cameras, bin
oculars, revolvers, medicine chests, etc.
This would have been task for forty
Samsons, even IL the distance had only
been across a music hall stage; in the
sweltering heat Of Cuba the job was
an impossible one for us. 1t was a
question of getting round a stern COM
mand from the War Department or
Of going to the front empty-handed
and depending on cocoanut milk for
our sustenance. The chief officer In
charge of the moving of store and bag
gage from one of these ports to the
other was the son of multi-million-
aire, so bribery was too lame propo-
sition to advance. Finally we held
meeting, with the result that that night
forty war correspondents went out
misunderstanding. We scattered in all
directions into the hills to look for
chickens. Next morning at daylight
everybody turned up again safe and
sound at Baiquiri, and as n result of
the chase two birds of an uncertain
age lay on the ground in front of us.
1t was stated at the time, and never
denied, that these interesting feather
ed creatures were the only two of their
clan alive on. the island, and that the
man who stole them had found them
the sole remaining playmates of an in
surgent family in n cellar at Juragu-
acita, where they had been running
around for three years hidden from
the depredations of the Spaniards. The
neck of one was tied with blue rib
bon, the others was wreathed in
red. The man who stole them told us
that their owners called one Chi
quita" ana the other "Encantadora."
We plucked and cleaned them and
sent a deputation with them to his
mightiness the chief commissary, who
had been living on hard tack for ten
days instead of Delmonico dinners. In
one hour all our goods and chattels
were at Siboney.

A STUDY I'M HEARTS.
Why She Was Sure He Could Never
Drown Himself.

DIOWu ht"oSh
She was woman, therefore to be
wooed. She was but twenty, and that
kind are not easy.
He was a young man Of fashion, full
Of promises and the smell of cigarette
smoke, and he loved her with the en-
tire purpose of his life.
Perhaps that wasn't great deal, be-
cause he had too much money to have
great deal of purpose, but what there
was Of it was all for her.
And she didn't care continental for
him.
He was neither of brilliant intelli-
gence nor of masterful mind, and his
inane vapidities bored her so that at
last, in self-defense, she firmly but re-
spectfully declined to marry him.
81 shall put an end to my miserable
existence" he said in terrible earnest
ness.
She did not apply for n stay Of exc
cution. and he went forth into the cold,
gray afternoon.
Half an hour later her dearest friend
came in.
"Oh, Alice" she exclaimed, hurried
ly, "whathave you ever done to Harry?
He looked the very picture Of desola-
ton when met him, and he told me
he was going to drown himself"
II think not" replied the authoress
Of all his woes.
But he will, am sure" insisted the
visitor. II could see 1t in his eyes. I'm
positive he will go right down and
jump into the river"
Perhaps" admitted the other, quite
freely.
"Then you think as do-that he win
drown himself? Oh, you"
Il beg your pardon" interrupted the
other. I'm sure that he won't. He
can't; he's too light to sink"
Thus does a woman play rag-time on
the strings by which she holds mans
heart in hrall.-Washington Star.

Astonishing Progress Of Sanitary and In
dustrial Legislation There.

AhSt, tASh, VIC nuSt nOtc tIldtf Tic
railways, almost without exception,
and all the telegraphs and telephones,
are In the hands of the community,
says III. de II. Walker in the Atlantic.
In the few cases in which we find
the private ownership of railways, q
particular line was demanded at q
certain time, and the government were
not then in position to borrow the
funds required for it's construction.
Western Australia has recently pur-
chased the entire property Of one of
the two private undertakings in the
colony.
We find in most of the colonies a
mass of sanitary and Industrial legis-
lation.
Again, South Australia, Victoria.
Western Australia and New Zealand
lend money to settlers at low rates of
interest; South Australia sells its wines
In London; Queensland facilitates the
erection Of sugar mills; Victoria and
South Australia have given a bonus
upon the expectation of dairy produce.
These colonies and New Zealand re-
ceive the produce, grade and freeze it
free Of charge, or ut n rate which bare
ly covers the expenses. Victoria con-
tributes toward the erection of butter
factories; Victoria and New Zealand
have subsidized the mining industry;
and Western Australia has adopted
comprehensive scheme for the supply
of water to the gold fields.
The national system or primary edu-
cation Is in all the colonies compul-
sorry and undenominational. In South
Australia, Victoria, Queensland, and
New Zealand it is also free. In the
other colonies fees are charged, which
may be RENTED wholly or partly in
pay them. Assistance is given in most
cases also for the promotion of second
airy, technical and university educa-
ton.
New Zealand and South Australia
have appointed public trustees. New
Zealand has long had department of
life insurance.
Finally, since my visit in 1897, New
Zealand has adopted system Of old
age pensions. A pension or seven
shilllngs week is to be given to every
person above the age of sixty-tive
years, provided he or she has lived
in the colony for twenty-five years,
and is able to pass n certain test in
regard to sobriety and good conduct.
Such, then, are the main lines of de-
velopment In Australia and New Zea-
land; and it is noteworthy that the col
onies which are the most advanced
Victoria, South Australia, and New
Zealand-escaped the forcible introduce
ton of convicts which has undoubt-
eddy been prejudicial to the others.
In fact, South Australia and New Zea-
land were settled largely by i'm
migrants selected by various associa-
tons in Great Britain.
