NEW SUGAR FIELD.

Nothing connected with sugar prOduc~
ton should be neglected by US, even II
the field seems out Of our horizon. Ac-
cordng TO a recent report from our con-
sui at Triste there seems TO be no
longer any doubt that Italy VIII, within
a few years turn from a sugar-import-
ing to sugar-eXporting country. The
past two seasons have witnessed re-
markable development Of her beet-su-
gar industry. Previous to 1893, there
were in the entire Kingdom Of Italy
only four sugar factories, with total
annual capacity Of about 5000 tons.
During the season Of lS99-l9OO, the NUM-
Der OF factories increased TO twenty
four, and the production Of sugar qua
drupled. At the end Of the years 1900,
there existed twenty-eight raw-sugar
factories and ten rehneries while six
factories and two reAneries were In
course Of construction, The industry
continued to develop during the season

the Greek dramatlsts. And even now
curious fate seems 10 follow certain
families. The idea comes up to one

Man In the Moon.

This is the Spanish legend of how the
man in the moon got there:
One Sunday morning, long years ago,
there was man who went out to the
forest to cut wood. He made a great
bundle of sticks and was just about to
place it upon his shoulders when a
beautiful young man, dressed like a
fine lord, appeared to him.
"How is it said the stranger, that
you have been cutting wood today? Do
you not know that this is the, Sabbath
and that on Sunday. which is the day
of rest. no man should work|'
''What do | care retorted the wood
cutter, hitching the huge bundle high
er on his back. whether it is Sunday
or MONDAY Monday)? 1t is all the
same to me-
"Well, then replied the fair youth,
who was no other than our Lord him
self, "since it is the same to you, you
shall go to place where every day is
Monday" And he sent him forthwith
up to the moon. where he may be seen
carrying his bunch of fagots till dooms-

Ants use shuttles.

II. q. Green, government entomolo-
glst at the botanic gardens at Pera-
denlya, Ceylon, tells most curious
story about the red ant. Desiring to
confirm the reported web spinning hab-
its of these ants, he separated some
leaves that had been recently fastened
together by them. The ants quickly
drew the edges of the leaves together,
and in about an hour afterward he no
ticed that small white grubs were be-
ing passed backward and forward
across the gaps. Two ants held each
a grub in its mouth and directed its
movements as required. while from the
mouth of the larvae continuous
thread of silk proceeded and was used
TO repair the damage. The larvae were
actually used as spinning machines.
There were no larvae in the disturbed
Enclosure. They We're most likely OBJ
tanned from a nest n short distance
away, and this. no doubt, accounts for
the length of time that passed before
the rent was repaired.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
Meas Pockets,

The children heard mamma coming
and ran gladly down the stairs to vel
come her. Ellen was at the door al
most before it was opened, and such
kisses as she got! Then Ned, with a
loud hurrah, threw his arms about the
happy mamma, while little Jessie clasp
ed mammals hand in both her tiny
ones, waiting her turn to be kissed
"I'ye been a good boy, mamma" said
Ned, land my pockets are empty"
"Oh, that's hintr' said Ellen. Mann
ma knows that's a hint"
Mamma laughed She slipped the
big muff from her hand over little Jes-
sizes hand.
How nice and cozyv' said Jessie.
Most like a big brown pussy cat!
And, oh, it's better'n pussy cat!' she
cried delightedly.
And out came her hand, and in her
hand was a little package done up in
white paper and tied with pink cord.
Jessie dropped the "big brown pussy
cat'' and, with the help of Ellen and
Ned. united the pink cord. Then they
found that instead of one package there
were three! Three little boxes, and
the little boxes were filed with candies
the sweetest candies you ever tasted.

one for Ned" said Jessie. "But where's
your box, mamma?"
Here are my little sweets!' said
mamma, taking Ned and Ellen and
Jessie in her arms.
"But you can't eat u.s." said Ned.
"You must eat some of our candies"
And when mamma had been helped
from each of the boxes she had almost
as much candy as either Ellen or Ned
or Jessie, but Ned had some left to put
in his pockets Katherine Gray.
