That is a curious compromise which
the managers of the Buffalo exposition
have made in deciding to keep a part
of it open a part of the day Sundays.
The Midway and other amusement fea-
lures of the exposition will not be al
lowed to do any business Sundays, and
the whole show will be closed on Sum
days until p. m, and then it will be
accessible to visitors only in its more

morning services in the churches, and
it will give many people residing in the
vicinity who are employed in work on
week days the opportunity to attend.
They may not see all there is on exhi-
'bition, but they will see the best of it.
This plan is ingenious, and will please
some Of those whom it is intended to
please. Perhaps not many for most of
those who would go to the exposition at
all on Sunday would be glad to see the
whole Show, and be amused as well as
instructed. Whether it will or will not

know what does please the Lord in

SUG 4 ~ IN INDIA.

When India gets to making sugar as
she ought to make it the Sugar trust
may find harder shedding than it has
now. A determined effort is to be
made to develop and improve the man
ufacture of sugar in India. The COM
mission which was appointed in Behar
last October to examine the whole cub
ject has now made it's report. At the
present time India ia one Of the largest
cane-growing countries in the world,
having nearly three million acres under
sugar. But the ordinary yield Of sugar
is only about one ton per acre, as
against three tons in Barbados and four
tons in Java. Yet even with this small
yield India produces about seventeen
times as much as she imports. But,
supposing her yield per acre were dou-
bled,, all imports would be superfiuoue.
The home demand for sugar, already
large, would expand with lower prices,
and the decaying export trade might be
revived. Hitherto comparatively little
has been done in India to treat the soil
or plant the canes on scientific princi-
pies, or to introduce the best varieties of
cane. The commission, after noting the
tendency of the country to
prefer refined to unrefined sugar, says
lure are essential. Most of the refin-
ng is done by rough, inefficient and ex-

would vote in a way that would bene-
