now Russia Corners sugar.

Each year the minister of finance fixes
the amount of sugar which shall be pro-
duced IN the empire, and sets the price at
which it shall be sold. The average do
mestlc consumption is about 100000
GOO pounds. This is announced as the
legal limit of production which shall be
put upon the market during the year.
In addition to this it is allowed to manu-
facture 18O,000,O00 pounds more, which
is placed in storage. The 1,000,00O,0 900
pounds, as it is sold, pays an excise tax
Of 21a cents a pound. If at any time,
through increased demand, sugar be-
comes worth more than the price fixed
by the government the 100000, 900
pounds in reserve is allowed to reach the
market free of excise duty. If this does
not supply the market at the legal price
the government itself will buy from for
eign countries enough sugar to supply
the need for a bear influence upon the
price. This has been done by Russia
twice during the past Ten years. This
system, of course, precludes any export
business in sugar, but the Russian gov
eminent does not believe that the ex-
porting Of sugar from Russia can be
made profitable or advisable, so it does
not encourage it.-Fortnightly Review.

TREASURES OF THE SEA.
British Fishermen Make Valuable
HauIs from Wrecked Vessels.

h0ulS from wrecked SGSsSAo'
There still exists on our coasts class
of men known as "hovellers," or swlp-
ers-a modernized survival of the old
wrecker fraternity-that earns Hvell-
hood by the recovery Of wreckage. Dur
ing the summer months Of last year up
ward of lao tons of anchors and chains
were dragged from the bed Of the sea in
the Downs and Yarmouth roads alone.
The hardy fishermen Of the North sea
frequently make valuable hauls in the
shape of dereIict or distressed vessels, or
of sunken goods that become entangled
in their fishing gear.
A few months ago a large vessel, car
rying a general cargo, grounded and be-
came waterlogged on a sandbank off the
east coast. In q few hours a host of
fishing boats of various nationalities
gathered, vulturelike, from q previously
deserted sea. Feeling ran so high over
the looting that followed that a gunboat
had to be dispatched to preserve order.
Tons Of fish were returned to the sea
and replaced by pianos, cases of candles,
toys and ironware and the varied col
lection Of goods that constitute q ship
cargo and outfit, until the Trinity house
authorities, recognizing that the wreck
was dangerous to navigation, exercised
their prerogative by warning off the
spoilers and themselves taking charge

Language Makes Strife in Belgium

At the present rate of development,
the prevailing race war in Belgium prom
Uses to be fully as bitter as that in Aus
tria. A parallel between King Leopold's
kingdom and the empire Of the Haps-
burgs may easily be drawn. The great
and permanent source OF trouble i'll Aus
tria is the racial strife between Germans
and Czechs. In Belgium this strife finds
it's counterpart in the relentless race war
between Flemish and Walloons. The
question at stake in both countries is the
same-the question Of language which,
netx to religion, has been the cause of
the bloodiest conflicts in the history of
nations.-New York Post.

Children Like Colors.

Matrons of infant asylums say that a
young infant will often be cross all day
if dressed in a gray frock but contented
and happy if dressed in a bright red
frock. Children from to 4 years old
are much less affected by the color Of
their dress. 1t is commonly observed in
kindergartens that the younger children
prefer the red playthings, while the older
children prefer the blue.
