SUGAR AND SEA POWER.

The great maritime powers are all

the spirit of navigation, commerce,
travel and colonization is strong there
is a large consumption of sugar per
head, says Pearson's Weekly.
England heads the nations of the
world in fondness for sweet things, the
sugar consumption there being 70
pounds year for each inhabitant. The
| rited States is close second, each in
dividual consuming 67.O7 pounds per an
mum.
In Denmark the quantity is IS pounds

90 pounds, in Norway and Sweden 25
pounds, in Russia 10 pounds, in italy 7
pounds, in Turkey pounds, in Greece
pounds and in Servia pounds.

OF cane sugar the United States 100000
tons. Java contributes 4S0 1000 tons each
year, the Philippine islands 265 600 tons.

HOME LOVERS FIRST CHOICE.
Swiss Maidens Are SOrely Hampered

If the American girl was as restricted
in her choice of a husband as the girl
of mountainous Switzerland she would
quickly emigrate from the land of lib

Of the globe.
Swiss maidens have wide and deep
courtship license, but in many of the
cantons they are allowed but narrow
choice of bridegrooms, it being a rigor-
ously enforced, if .unwritten, law that
they must marry youth of their own
neighborhood. In many villages every
manageable youth belongs to So

any and every youth from outside from
coming accounting the maidens of the

QUEER FOODS.

The ancient Danes ate wild bull, seal,

Greenlanders ate seals most Of the

ed on wild apples, meat and cheese.
Two hundred years ago the Irish
made salads of sorrel and beet, mixed
with vinegar, beer and sugar, using no
oil, salt or mustard.
When the Indians of California were
very hungry they ate dog grasshoppers
and acorns, The badger is favorite
Indian dish.
The human race has at times de-
voured remarkable things. The Tar
tars, 1t Is said, ate horses, camels, dogs.
In China birds nests, rats and snails
are considered good food.
Some of the old Egyptians were fond
Of crocodile steak, They thought
wheat and barley poor stuff. The
Egyptians, moreover, never ate beans
or the head of any animal. Honey and
raisins they loved and also liked fish,
quail and duck.
To the Jews we are indebted for our
delicious salad dressing of oil, vinegar,
salt, pepper and mustard. At the pass
over they ate bitter herbs, such as
wild lettuce, tansy, camomile and dan
delion, and invented the dressing to
make the dish palatable.

A PERSEVERANCE TEST.
The Western Unions Way of Dealing
with Female Applicants for
Employment.

Many girls are employed at the West
ern Union Telegraph company's main
Office in filing dispatches and other
work requiring no great skill. Now,
although they get only the current
wages of worksers in such employ
ments, there are always many appli-
cants for every vacancy. In view of
this fact the company has adopted an
interesting method of dealing with ap-
plications. Every girl applying is ques-
toned as to her age, education aud nsep
idence. Furthermore, her height is
taken. The facts as to the applicant
are then filed for future reference, and
she Is advised in case she is really anX-
ious for place to return at the end of
four months should she not hear from
the company before that time. The
reasons for this advice is that the list
of applications is destroyed every four
months, says the New York Sun
Many applicants never come a Sec
ond time; some, however, come a sec
ond, third or even fourth time, and,
although the officers of the company
hold out no special hope to any appli-
cant, they do say that here, as else
where, perseverance often succeeds.
The requirement that the applicant
shall appear in person each time is an
ingenious means of wedding out those
applicants that lack the perseverance,
which, other things being equal. Is like
ly to make girl more useful to the
company than a girl with less OF that
quality.
