The total sugar crop of the world
for ls9s has been placed at fsaa,26o
tons, of which g,Oi0, goo was from cune
and i,5Do,UOO tons from heets. As the
consumption in the United States l.
estimated az about i,i0umnOc0
pounds, aud that Of Great Britain rs
ia the ncighburhood Of 3,GOupO0uOO per
annum, IL will bee seen that these two
countries combined consume more
than half Of the worlds crop Of sugar
from both cane and beets, The great
est part OF the beet sugar is made in
Germany, aud large quantities of II are
imported 10 the United States.
The United Stutes and their possess
sions are credited with being able to
furnish supplies as follows Louisiana,
7Of,95l,s7 pounds; beet sugar fac
tories. gO,40l,G ,G7O; Hawaiian crop, 43l,-
2l5ltG; Puerto Rican crop, sl5s2,sl0i
Philippine crop, l35O00,oo0, Total,
1,446,243,474. This leaves about p
o50,0OO,O 900 pounds to come from Cuba.
Germany and elsewhere,
Louisiana produces more cane sugar
than is got from all the new posses
sions put together, aud is likely to be
able 20 hold her own against them all,
and, unless Cuba shall be annexed and
Cuban sugar allowed 10 come in free
OF duty, there is nothing in the situa-
ton says the New Orleans Picayunc,
to alarm the Louisiana sugar planters.
In the meantime the demand for
sweets is constantly growing in the
United States, and the day must soon
come when the people Of this country
will consume us much per head OF
population as do the English, which is
not far from 100 pounds a year.
Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and
Florida have many thousands Of acres
OF land suitable for sugar growing,
while perhaps not more than one
third the area in Louisiun on which
the crop can be profitahiy grown is in
cultivation.

Mark Twain and his friend, Rev Joseph

their line OF route and what time he might
expect 10 see them arrive, The appointed
time was an ideal one for a long run, and
the TWO friends started quite early IN the
morning, But neither OF them was aCcus-
toned to long rides, so after II or 10 miles
had been ridden, IL became apparent that
each Of the riders was waiting for the 9TH
er TO say something Finally Twain said, as
they came IN sight Of the railway station IN
small town they had entered; Lets take
the train the rest OF the way"
OF course Mr. Twitchel agreed, and so
the acquaintance in Boston was surprised
by seeing the two friends walk up 10 his
door about one O'Clock in the afternoon. He
had not expected them till evening, but he
greeted them warmly and addressing Mr.
Twitohell said; We'll, you made pretty

Dr. Charles L. Shepherd, who is in
charge of the experimental tea garden
at Summerville, 5. c., has made "A re-
port to the secretary of agriculture in
Washington, covering the progress
made up to date. He says that there
are now so acres of land under

that when all these plants now grow
ing arrive at maturity they will yield
10000 pounds annually. DR.. Shepherd
expresses the opinion that the fact
that the tea plants lived through last
winter. when the most intense cold in
the history of the section was expert
enced, that the cultivation of tea will
prove satisfactory. The quality of the
tea also has proved satisfactory. OF
the black tea he says: 1T has a dis

some of the choice oriental teas, has
more strength than its color indicates.
