SUGAR AS OLD AS THE WORLD.

Sugar was known to the Chinese and used
by them as early as 1900 Il. G. This state
ment rests on tradition partly, but 1t is
historical fact that during the Tsin dynasty,
about 200 years b. c., the article was well
known and was manufactured in relatively
considerable quantities in China. Students
OF ancient Hindoo history and industries
claim the discovery for the East Indies, but
IL Is much more probable that in this, in

to them from China originally, and was sub

the Egyptians, Babylonians, Chaldeans
Jews and the Greeks prior to the event
mentioned above. Galen, the physician and
pharmacologist, who fiourished and wrote
140-190 b. c., prescribed sugar as a remedy
in certain cases.
In England sugar seems to have remained
almost unknown. except to the learned
until after the discovery OF America. 1t was

that lady, the wife of a very rich gentle
man, besOught her husband, as the richest

pound of sugar. Even at the beginning or
the eighteenth century Great Britain con-
sumed but about 12.OO0.000 pounds of sugar.
To-day England alone uses more than a
hundred times that amount.

was introduced into England In 1863, though

Library Patrons.
Philadelphia Record.


To get ideas for the establishment of a
public library two men recently invesl-
gated the literary taste of a certain uptown
mill where 200 men and women are en-
ployed They found that not single one or
these 200 had ever read line of Dickens,
Thackeray or Scott, TO say nothing of the
equally great but lesser known novelists.
No poet was Thoroughly known, though
Longfellow's Psalm of Life, Poe 5
Raven and Tennyson's Charge OF the
Light Brigade" were mentioned by eleven.
Among the women certain books-novels-
were cited as being very good but the
names of these books had never been
heard of by the investigators before, and
none of the readers themselves knew the
names of the authors. Some of the men
professed to be fond of reading history
but If they were asked whose history they
would say: "Oh. the history of this country
or England. or ancient history" so ii was
evident that their historical taste was not
very strong after all. Kiplng had been
heard of as sick man. Stephen Crane was
unknown. as was Thomas Hardy, Meredith,
HoWells James and the rest of the princi-
pal novelsts Rider Haggards She and
Steyenson's Treasure Island had been
read by a small fraction of the people in
the mill. The investigators decided that a
library was very badly needed in that To-
cality The millhands wondered If, with the
books they would also be given the time TO
read them.
