| SWEET RIVALRY.
dew Beet Sugar Has Outstripped
HIS Competitor Sugar Cane.
Production Of the Former Has In.
creased Since 1910 II 800 Per Cent.
While That Of Cane Sugar Has
Increased 100 Per Cent.

"The World Sugar Production and
Consumption, 1S0O-19OO' is the title of
monograph just issued by the treasury
buieau Of statistics. 1t discusses the
sugar production and consumption Of
the world during the'past century and
especially during the last half century,
il which the burden of sugar pro6uc~
tion"has been transferred from cane to
the sugar beet, and in which the world
has so largely increased it's consump-
ton of sugar. The worlds sugar pro-
duction has grown from 1,150,O 900 tons
il lS4C to $500, 600 tons in 1900. During;
the same period the worlds population
has grown, according to the best esti-
mates, from e5o,oco,cco to about $780,
100000. Thus sugar production has In
creased about $50 per cent. while the
population was increasing so per cent.
Coming nearer home, and considering
the United States alone, it is found that
the consumption of sugar which in 1870
vas only 20 pounds per capita, was in
1901 over 6s pounds per capita.
One especially striking fact shown
BY the statistics presented in this study
Is the rapidly increasing proportion OF
the worlds enlarged sugar consump-
tionwhich is supplied by beets. Accord
Ing to the figures presented by this
study, beets which supplied in 1910
less than five per cent. of the
worlds sugar, in 1900 supplied 81 per
cent. of the greatly increased con
sumption; while cane, which then sup
piled IS per cent. of the worlds sugar
consumption. nov supplies but 33 per
cent. Stated in quantities, it may be
said that the worlds cane sugar supply
has grown from 1000, 900 tons in 1910
70 2,S5O,OOO IONS in 1000, an increase OF
$50 per cent; while that of beets has
grown from $4,000 tons in 1910 to $780,
600 IONS in 1900, an increase of II 800
per cent.
The figures above quoted include that
portion which enters into the worlds
statistical record of sugar production,
and does not include the large quanti-
ties of sugar produced in India and
China exclusively for home consump-
ton. and in a considerable number of
The tropical countries does not include
shat portion of the sugar consumed at
home. Even if these figures of cane
sugar production for home consump-
ton were Obtainable, the production
from beets would still show n much
more rapid growth during the last half
century than that from cane. This, ap.
parently. is due to two causes: () the
rliminat n of slavery in the tropics,
che seat of the principal sugar produc.
ton; and (2) the intelligent study of,
and government aid to, the production
81 beet sugar in the temperate zone, es.
n%ecially in European countries.

JAMES TOOK A "PARILLA."
Old Quaker 1~nnkeeper Wouldn't
Give Him Any More Of the
"StrOnE stuff"

The country Immediately adjacent
to Philadelphia is rich in quaint old
taverns and inns, many of which have
remained unchanged for Il century or
more. Each one OF these has it's own
following, and it is quite the thing for
the city patrons to get up dinner par
ties, ordering the dinner in advance, to
secure good service.
The proprietor of one of the best
known of these taverns, one much af-
fected by the hunting set, is on old
Quaker, who amid the homogeneous
surroundings of his bar still clings to
the plain language of his faith. Occa.
sionally he even dispenses liquid re.
frcshments with his own hands, and
it seems queer to hear his mild voice
asking: what will thee have?"
The other day there was u crowd in
the bar, and one Of the men had al
ready beenimbibing too freely. Never
thelcss, he lined up at the bar with
the others and loudly called for whis-
Ky. The old man looked at him Sc
serely and rcmarked:
James, doesn't thee think thee has
had enough OF the strong stuff? Thee
had better take a 'parilla."
There was no appeal, says the phila-
delphia Record, and james drank Q
glass of sarsparilla.

MAMMOTH
Housed and Cared For In South.
ern California.

Situated at the sharp angle where
the Arroyo Seco, OF dry ditch "a
ravfne that extends from Los An
geles to the Sierra Madre mountains
some IA miles away, and the Los
Angeles river Cat this point IS miles
from the seal meet, is II of the
most curious exhibits of pigeon life
ever presented to the eye. Here 1O,-
900 pigeons, mostly light in color,
are found perched upon the roofs
of eight frame sheds. The walls Of
these sheds are composed of hum
dreds of empty gasoline cans, with
one OF the ends taken out and wood
en- boards with apertures large
enough for pigeons substituted, and
thousands of wooden fruit boxes fur
nishcd >vith square oDen,ngs. The
ground is generally covered with
pigeons until a stranger arrives.
when there is a great whirring noise,
the air is full of wings and thou
sands of pigeons return to their
brethren on the roofs of the sheds,
says Pe%arson's.
This institution belongs to n Of
Los Angeles enterprising citizens
and forms a great attraction to Wis
itors from all the country round, as
we'll as to numerous colored thieves,
who make a continual practice of
robhing this vast aggregation of
pigeon roosts. Two large dogs prop
erly qualified to bark and bite are
located at each end of the grounds,
lbout 200 feet from each other.
these are secured safely by long
chains to spikes in the ground.
But these, fierce as they nre, do
not represent the entire force for
the defense from thieves of the 10,-
900 pigeons; two young dogs, trained
to bark and not to bite, are on duty
also all the time; these are more
'leepless and it is the uproar they
s,ake upon which the owner so much
depends for the discovery of the col
ored thieves. Disease and rats take
away a great many of this multi
tudinous bird population; daily some
young pigeons will be found on tho
ground dead, having gone too far
from the family nest.

What Col. payne's Wedding Gift to

Really Amounts To,

When Payne Whitney, 0 of Viii.

Hay in February it was announced
that among the presents which the
couple would RET Give was a mansion,
vet to be erected in New York city,
the donor being Col. Oliver II. Payne,
the bridegroom's uncle. The site for
the house had not then been bought,
but all mystery as to it's location was
dispelled the other day when it be-
came known that Col. Payne is the
buyer of the plat, 70 by 100 feet, on
Fifth avenue, between Seventy-eighth
and Seventy-ninth streets.
The plat has been held at $525, 900.
and it is said that the price paid by
Col. Payne is little if any below that
figure. The mansion to be erected
thereon will undoubtedly cost as much
more, SO that the total Yalue Of the
