The English Are Great sugar Eaters.

In 1869 the English consumed, ON the av-
eiage, AZ pounds of sugar per capita an
nua1y That this is enough for either
health or reasonable enjoyment Is proved
by the fact that few people use so much
to-day. For example, In 1896 Italy con-
sumed 7I9 pounds per capita; Spain, 1857
pounds; Anstria-Hungary, 1884 pounds;
Belgium, 22S pounds; Germany, T13
pounds, and France, 28.A pounds. In the
United States, where the use Of sweets
Is said 10 be injuriousy excessive only
IS pounds per capita were consumed In
1869 and 81 pounds per capita In 1893 In
England during 1851 every human being
Qncludng babies, invalids and paupers)
disposed, on the average, OF nearly
ounces OF sugar day or SAT- pounus
year.
Furthermore, neither from the economic
nor the sanitary standpoint do the uses 10
which this extra sugar ration Is put seem
satisfactory. one of the chief of these ap-
pears 20 be TO encourage drinking. Though
the exports of beer from England show n
tendency to decline, brewing grows apace.

Of beer suffice; and American beer Il .ight.

expansion at the rate of about / per cent

A good story. says the Chicago Record,
is told of the wife Of a certain LORD
Mayor in England. 1t would not do to
give her name or her city, because she
Is a good woman and was unconscious OF
her mistake. 1t so happened that during
Queen Victoria's last visit to London her
majesty, with her favorite daughter, Wis
tied the training school for nurses, &C
companied by the Lady Mayoress." The
governor of the institution, as they were
departing. requested them to write their
names in the visitors book; The Queen
removed her glove, took the pen and
wrote Victoria" at the top of a. new
page. The Princess followed her mother,
and inscribed her name Beatrice" The
governor then handed the pen to her lady
ship, the wife of the Lord Mayor. She
took 1t and smpered and on the third line
wrote Emma"

The summer girl. says the Chicago
Times Herald, has a sentimental side.
There is no law to squelch it, what is
more.
The other day ] happened upon two
maidens out on the Vine-clad Veranda,
pouring over matrimonial squib in that
book of James Lane Allen, THE Choir
Invisible" Here it is:
Some women in marrying demand all
and give all with good men they are the
happy, with pase men they are the broken
hearted.
Some demand everything and give lit
tie; with weak men they are the tyrants,
with strong men they are the divorced
Some demand little and give an; with
congenial souls they are already in heaven,
with uncongenial they are soon in their
graves.
Some give little and demand little; they
are the heartless They bring neither the
JOY of life nor the peace of death"
There's good deal of concentrated
truth in this matrimonial monograph that
the summer girl with her sometimes silly
ideas about Prince Charming" might
well think about. 1t might also furnish
food for reflection for some mice young
man." don't you think?

This morning about $50 O'Clock
an alarm was sent in from the
Mary Holmes Seminary, which was
on fire. The building is situated
far outside the fire limits of the
city, uaking the response of the
department useless as far as eX-

cerned. The building was soon a
mass of flames and being famed

At about $3.50 this afternoon, a
spark from a Mobile and Ohio
engine started a blaze among
the cotton bales in the COM
press yards and as perfect gale
was blowing from as favorable
direction the fire spread as if
in a powder magazine and in
an instant the entire yards and
warehouses were in a blaze, pro-
ducing great clouds of flame and
smoke. An alarm was instantly
turned in but to no avail for the
fire had spread so rapidly that
nothing could be done but to
watch $500, 200 worth of property

bales of cotton were in the yards
and were consumed, as were a few
