more than $10,0o0,OOO is in California,
and more than $4,O0O,000 in Michigan.
Fourteen and one-half millions of the
capital invested is in machinery.
Nearly 1000 men, women and chill
dren find employment for at least a
part of each year in the beet sugar
factories of the United States, and to
these is paid in salaries and wages
more than $1,OOO,o0o. The factories
in California employ more than 900
operatives and pay out in wages and
salaries more than half million Of
dollars, while the number of en-
ployes in the Michigan factories is
nearly 500, and the amount paid them
nearly one-quarter of million dol
lars.
An interesting item in connection
with a study of the beet sugar indus
try is the amount paid the farmer for
beets from which the sugar is made.
In 1900, the last year for which sta
tistics are available, they were paid
total of $3,4S5,32O. Of this sum
$1,5S5,953 went to the beet growers
of California, 5000, 592 to the growers
in Michigan, $996,775 to those in other
states in which there are beet sugar
factories. The total cost OF mate
rails used during that year, including
beets, was 81, 500, 796, and the value OF
the product for that year of all fac
tories $7.323,s57, of which California
claimed $3,499,996, Michigan $780,
266 and other states $2,221,595
The 794,65s tons of beets consumed
by the factories in 1900 represented
the product of 135,305 acres o!

WHAT NOSTALGIA IS.
inst Homesickness Under Another
Name, q Disease Prevalent In
Colonial Armies.

The information that there is .
breaking down in the Philippines due
to homesickness draws attention 10
that curious but by no means rare
nervous disease known as nostalgia
the scientific name for the melancnoAa
resulting from inconsistencies.
According to medical authority
nostalgia is a form of melancholy
brought about by an unsatistled long
ing for home or home surroundings
1t affects the physical health OF the
victim and may even lead to his deatn'
In the most aggravated cases the SUI
ferer from nostalgia is seized Win q
deep feeling of sorrow, which IS 1ol-
lowed by disturbed or impeded d1ges-
ton, and causes fever, tuberculosis,
general debility and, if suitable RENE
dies are not provided, death.
GAS the remedy for nostalgia, re-
turn to the native place and to ia
miliar surroundings is generally ac-
knowledged. Should this be impossl-
bic, the hope that it might be possible
at some time must be aroused and en-
couraged. Aside from this 1t is neces-
sary to divert the sufferers mind ana
attract it to other matters.
DR.. J. Leonard Corning, the speclal-
list in nervous diseases, said to New
York World reporter:
"Soldiers in all armies and OF all
countries have always suffered more
or less from nostalgia. I believe nos
talgia is rarely fatal in itself, but it
is easy to conceive Of soldier becom-
ing insane from inconsistencies, and
committing suicide. Insanity IN
doubtedly results from it.
"Then the climate of the Philippines
helps along the disease. Our soldiers,
especially young recruits, are made
melancholy by the fact that they are
so far from home and amid such
strange surroundings. They are nee
essarily subjected to strict discipline,
and they have no chance to get away
from it. Their amusements are limit
ed and they long for the climate, the
activity and the pleasures of their
homes.
ct should say that news service
from the United States would do much
toward helping such sufferers. Any
thing that will distract the mind from
brooding on the surroundings will
help"
The disease is so we'll recognized by
army officers that in the Philippines
| the army bands are forbidden to play
Home, Sweet Home" because of the
| effect it may have on the soldiers.

Geous, and the machinery was taken
to Sequel, Cal. The move to new fields
did not prove profitable, however, and
in 1880 the factory at Sequel was
closed for good. In the meantime
new company had installed new ma
chinery in the factory buildings at
Alvarado, and to-day it is one OF the
most successful factories in the Unit
ed States.
In 1880 four beet sugar factories
were in operation in the United
States: two of them in California ana
one each in Maine and Delaware. VI
these four but one remains-that al
Alvarado. In 1890 there were but two
factories in operation in the coun-
try. and both of these were in Can
fornia. The combined value OF their
nroduct at that time was about
sz75. 900. or about two per cent. OF the
total cane and beet sugar used IN the
limited States. Even as late as 1897
thu total number of factories had
grown only to nine, and these were
producing IL per cent. OF the total
consumption of sugar of the country.
The boom in the beet sugar indus
try began in 1896, when new i'm.
petus was given it by the building OF
q factory at jacksonville. Cal, by
Claus Spreckels, and the favorable re-
suits obtained at the Alvarado fac
tory during that season. Since that
time IS factories have been built,
with a total capacity of 100000 short
tons Of sugar per annum, and nom
insl daily capacity Of 22,s1o short tons
Of beets per day.
In 1900 there were 81 factories in
onoration. of which eight were in Cal
ffornia. three in Colorado, one in ILL
rois. ten in Michigan, one in Mime
Gotta, three in Nebraska, one in New
MEXICO. three in New York, one in
Ohio. one in Oregon, four in Utah and
oce in Washington. In point OF beet
consumption capacity California and
Michigan were far in the lead OF all
other states, the factories of the for
mer state being capable of consum-
mo 900 tons daily, and those OF the
latter 4,45O tons.
The total amount of capital invest

price throughout the country OF
$4.3e per ton. The price was highest
in California, where the beet growers
received an average of SAT-; in Mich
igan they were paid an average OF
S4.3s, and in all other states an aver
age of $4.26. The percentage OF
sucrosse was higher in California
beets, however, than elsewhere, av-
eraging 1873, while in Michigan it was
but 1873, and in all other states 1876.
While since 1896 the beet sugar in
dustry in this country has been show
ing a rapid advance, it is still very
small in comparison with the beet
sugar industry of Europe, as will be
shown from the following figures,
which give the total product of the

in contrast to this brilliant personal
ity, was the attitude and bearing of
Townsend Harris, the first American
representative in Japan. He depend
ed entirely upon his American SIM
plicity, dignity and honesty to main
tain his position. He refused to de-
liver President Pierce's letter to any
one but the emperor himself. He en-
tered the long-forbidden city Of Yedo,
and refused on the way to undergo
any of the humiliations common to
the emperor's vassals. He finally Sc

play, American dignity and unaffected

they have perhaps given orders for
few extra yards of gold lace for their
adornment and are Furnishing up their
swords with lavish care, still their uni
form will be what they are in the
habit of wearing, and without which
they would be conspicuous. But not
so with Mr.. Reid, who, unfortunately,
being only an American citizen, with
out military training or title, has never
known anything for dress occasions
beyond the clawhammer coat. white
waistcoat and plain black trousers,
which are the distinguishing garb OF
the servants in court circles OF Eu-
rope.
There is much amused speculation
as to what our special representative
at the coronation of King Edward is
going to do in his dilemma. Mr.. Reid
is silent, but costumers on this side
of the Atlantic and in London are
anxiously expectant. Some papers
have had the hardihood to caricature
him in knee breeches, buckled shoes
and rufled shirt, but while the full
ness of the ruff1es might subdue the
sharpness of outline of his attenu-
ated form and be quite becoming. still
the knee breaches and silk hose would
destroy the dignity and shatter the
composure of our honored diplomat,
unless, as has been suggested, he
should resort to some pneumatic ap-
pliance which would give rotundity to
his slender limbs and the graceful out
lines of manly physique. But why
20 back to the days of Washington for
his dress. If gorgeous dress he must
have in order to acceptably appear
in the august presence of the king,
why not design something strictly up
to date and distinctively American.
Let the stars and stripes, the American
eagle and Liberty Enlightening the
World" be consulted and combina-
ton blended therefrom which would
be at once eloquent of the American
nation and at the same time so strik-
ing and gorgeous as to satisfy the most
fastidious tastes of the pompous
courts of Europe.
Like the cat that came back, this
question of dress of American repre-
sentatives in the courts of Europe
keeps bobbing up, and it seemingly
never will be gotten rid of. Ever since
Franklin went over to France and
bravely and dignifedly maintained the
simplicity of the new nation in the
west before the gorgeous court dress
and ceremony of Europe, the question
has been met and settled only to be
met again little farther along and

pean courtiers appreciate the fact that
dress does not make the man, and they
have always been glad enough to final

from historical standpoint the
oee' sugar industry is not new. We
must go back as far as 1888 to find
avs beginning, at which time a small
aosory was erected at Northampton,
MASS. That small pioneer factory
produced but 1900 pounds of sugar
from beets and then discontinued op-
a'ion, and the experiment was pro-
nounced failure. It was not until
1908 that another attempt was made
20 establish beet sugar factory in
TINS country, and from that time I'M
tal 1876 several factories were erected
IN Callfornia, Illinois and Wisconsin.
Eacn OF these ventures, all of them
small. were operated for a short time
ana then pronounced failures by their
promoters and discontinued.
-Four years after the last of these
ventures had passed out of existence
came the erection of the first beet
sugar factory in this country that
may be said to have attained any
measure of success, though it, too,
may be classed as at least partial
failure. 1t was a factory erected at
Aiyarado, CAL, and it's operation was
continued for three years. At the
end OF that time it was thought by
the promoters that its removal to q

Our illustration shows q practical
novelty for preventing the dripping OF
water over the floor from wet UNI
brella when the owner, or borrower,
enters a room. Oftentimes the UNI
brella is taken through the house to q

and in this case trail of water is gen.

The drip cup here illustrated is intend

the formation of the little .puddles of
water wherever the user of the UNI
