Sugar Little Used In France.

One reason why the French people
consume so little sugar is because
their ways of living require less OF
that article. For the great mass OF
the French people breakfast consists
Of bowl of soup, which is also fer
quently part of the other two meals.
Their drink is wine, and, as they use
but little tea or coffee, especially in
the country. there is scarcely any de-
mand for sugar. They make neither
preserves nor cake il the family. The
usual dessert is fruit and cheese. The
high tax of five cents per pound on
sugar is pretty fully paid by the we'll
to-do people, who live in cities and
who take coffee CT chocolate for break
fast and a small cup Of black coffee
after dinner.-Chicag Chronicle.

State Pensions.

The State board of pensions held
long session Wednesday and it was one
of considerable importance. The board
went over the whole pension situation
very carefully and adopted a new set Of
rules governing the filing and passing
upon applications for pensions. An
entire new set Of blanks was also de.
vised. As sooD as these rules and
blanks can be printed they will be sent
to the chairmen Of the several new
county boards In cases where there
are no new boards, the chairman Of the
old board will get them. The new
rules will require all who wish pensions
upon the next distribution of the fund
to make out aud file entirely new ap-
pIicstions. There will be absolutely
no deviation from this rule.-The
State.

LOVE BORN IN ANTARTICsEA.
Fell in Love With Pictures Of Women
They Married.

Enveloped by the cold and solitude
Of sn Antarctic night and with no
womsn within hundreds Of cecapped
miles, Prof. Henry K. Archie eEski,
geoloist and meteo1ologist ofthe recent
Belgian Antsratic expedition, fell in
love with the woman whom he has just
persuaded to give up her operatlc
career and become his wife.
It was on the night Of April 8, 1898,
and on board the steamer Belsina, fast
in the ice Aoes of the Southern sea,
that there was held a grand concourse
of beautiful women," one Of the many
diversions by which the explorers
sought to pass away the time. Figures
and faces were clipped from magsslDes
and journals, the fair women in qucs-
ton we're divided into classes, ard the
lonesome sdventurers began to ballot
for the fair ones Ct their choice.
Professor ArchcWki discovered full
length portrait of Miss Caroline Adey,
dsughter cf MIR. and Mrs. Geo. Adey,
of Phlladelphia, an operatic prima
donno and heiress of wealthy father.
She was in Grecian pose and the
scientist was 50 charmed by the picture
that he cast his vote for herrepeatedlY.
Il was a unique case Of love at first
sight.
Nearly a tvelvemonth elapsed before
Lietenant de Gerlache's expedition re-
turned to civilization, and almost two
Years passed before the scientist net
the original of the portrait. She was
then making European tour with the
Savoy Opera Company. They became
engaged. Mr.. and Mrs. Adey were at
frst somewhat opposed to the. match,
but all obstacles were at last happily
overcome and the marriage was celebrat
cd on the Continent fortnight ago
Professor and Mrs. Archowski are now
living st Llege, Belgium, and expect to
pay visit to this country next sum
mer.
Another member of the expedition,
Capt. George Lecointe, has been mar
ried, and others Ct the explorers are
SAID to be contemplating matrimony,
having been impressed with the com
fort and felicity of domestic life by
their hardships aud solitude.

Boston'e Early Pauper Lunatics.
At legislative hearing on behalf OF
the insane poor physician recalled
the fact that as late as 1889 the city
of Boston kept its pauper lunatics in
wooden cages, which rested on wheels
and were rolled out of the almshouse on
pleasant days to give the wretches a
little air and sunshine. When a new
building was provided the patients
were trundled into It in their cages.
But DR.. Butler, the wise and humane
superintendent, promptly set them
free from conditions which might make
a sane man crazy.-Youth's Compan-

yoracious Birds and Fishes

Birds are big eaters. The much
admired robin can give points to most
Of his kind. He can easily manage
two-thirds Of his weight in earth
worms in day. The common pigeon
goes one better. He consumes his own
weight in grain within day. Fish
are great gluttons. A single American

big as himself, in rapid succession
