ENGLISH GREAT SUGAR-EATERS

In 1869, Englishmen consumed on
the average, AZ pounds of sugar per
capita, annually. That this is enough
for either health or reasonable enjoy
ment is proved by the fact that fewl
peoples use so much today. For ex-'
ample, in 1896 Italy consumed 7.19
lbs. per capita Spain, 1867 lbs; Aus
lbs; Germany, 27.14 lbs; and France,
1924 lbs. In the United States, where
the use of sweets is said to be injuri-
ously excessive only 80 Tbs. per capita
were consumed in 1862 and 81 TBS. per
capita in 1898. In England during
1861 every human being, including
babies, invalids, and paupers, dis
posed, on the average, of nearly 4
ozs. of sugar day, or SAT- lbs.
year. Furthermore, neither from the
economic nor the sanitary stand
point do the uses to which this extra
sugar ration is put seem satisfactory.
One of the chief of these appears to be
encourage drinking. Though the eX-
ports of beer from England show
tendency to decline, brewing grows
apace. Twenty-seyen gallons year
per capita, counting women and
children, is surely enough. In America,
though the amount of spirits drunk is
the same, 1512 gallons of beer suf-
fee; and American beer is light. I
Twenty seven and one-quarter gallons
was the measure for England in 1888;
yet in 1897 it had swelled to 3112 gal
Ions, an expansion at the rate of about \
per cent a year But. fast asI
brewing grows. the weight of sugary
used in the beer grows faster. In 1888
the public put up with something less
than Az lbs. of sugar to the barrel:
in 1897 it demanded between and 81

STEVENSON AND CHILDREN.
His Own Experience in The Land of
Counterpart.

Edmund Gosse, an English writer,
has charming paper on Robert Louis
Stevenson in his relations to children
in a recent number of the Youth S
Companion Mr.. Gosse is an especial
admirer OF "A Child's Garden of
Verse;" and has this to say about one
of the notable little poems contained
IN the volume.
Everyone recollects and delights in
The Land of Counterpart" which
begins:
When | was sick and lay abed,
| had two pillows at my head,
And all my tops beside me lay
To keep me happy all the day.
All this, we may say. is the magma
tive experience of a sick child but to
the very close of Stevenson life he
was accustomed to make up adven-
lures as he lay in bed very still, for
hidden 10 speak or move, propped up
on pillows with the world of fancy
before him.
He had retained great deal of the
temperament of child, and it was his
philosophy to encourage it. In his
dreary passages of bed, when his i'll
ness was more than commonly heavy
upon him, he used to contrive little
amusements for himself. He played on
the flute, or he modelled little figures
and groups in clay; but he could not
always be doing this, and when his

him, and imagined that armies were
marching over the hills OF his knees
or ships coming to anchor between the

of his life, he complained that he
could not care any more about the
Land of Counterpart, and to those
who knew him best this seemed quite

DRAGON FLY'S VITALITY.

The great vitality of dragon flies is
shown. says the New York lndepend-
ent. by McLachland, who, having
struck at large aeschna at rest on a
twig. the head was seen to tumble
down. while the rest of the insect flew
away in an undecided manner" for
a considerable distance. Upon pick
ing up the head, he noticed that the
insect had been eating fly at the
time. The mandibles continued
working as II nothing had happened,
and the masticated portions of the fly
passed out al the back Of the head"
