Some Facts About Sugar.
New York Sun.

Last year the people of the United
States consumed 100000 tons OF
sugar, or about one.quarter of the
entire quantity which came into the
worlds market. In 1850 the per cap
ita consumption ia this country was
% pounds. Last year it was about 73
pounds. This is largely attributable
to the reduced cost of the commo.
dity.
In 1850 crushed" sugar, then in
common use, sold at wholesale at from
So to lOb cents per pound. Within
the following decade the wholesale
prices fluctusted between u and Lag
cents. The period OF the Civil War
sent sugar prices soaring by slowing
degrees to 175 cents in April 1864.
Three months later saw them jumped
to 30 cents the pound. A year later
they had dropped to 20 cents from
which point they fell irregularly but
persistently until the period of recip.
rocity brought them (in 1894-95) to +
cents as . minimum. The restoration
OF the tariff lifted them to the price
since maintained, q general average Of
about AZ cents the pound.
The effective force in this reduction
has been the bounty .aided beet sugar
of Europe. The results of this in.
fluence are indicated in the fact that,
whereas in 1860 cane supplied about
three times as much of the worlds
consumption as did the beet root, in
1885 cane and beet supplied about an
equal quantity, and in 1902 the beet
product was about twice that OF the
cane.

THE DARLING LITTLE CUPBOARD
Where the Jam.Pots Grow.

Master Jacks song, writ ten by himself
after spending the holidays at grandma
You may talk about your groves,
Where you wander with your loves,
You may talk about you moonlit waves
That fall and flow;
Something fairer far than these
| can show you, if you please,
'Tis the charming little cupboard
Where the jam-pots grow,
Where the jam-pots grow
Where the jolly, jolly, jolly,
Jam-pots grow,
Is the charming little cupboard
Where the Jam-pots grow.
There the golden peaches shine,
In their syrup clear and fine,
And the raspberries are blushing
With dusky glow,
And the cherry and the plum
Seem to beckon me to come
To the charming little cupboard
Where the jam-pots grow.
There the sprghtly pickles stand,
With the catsup close at hand,
And the marmalades and jellies
In a goodly row;
And the ounces ruddy fire
Would an anchorite inspire
To seek the little cupboard
Where the jam-pots grow.
Never tell me of your bowers
That are full of bugs and flowers!
Never tell me of the meadows
Where the breezes blow!
But sing me, if you will,
Of the house behind the hill,
And the darling little cupboard
Where the jam-pots grow
Where the jam pots grow;
Where the jolly, jolly, jolly,
Jam-pots grow.
'Tis the dearest spot to me,
On the land or on the sea,
Is the charming little cupboard
Where the jam-pots grow.

WRITING BY TELEGRAPH.
Here's Another Way Of Producing Written
Characters by Telegraph.
Boston Globe.

Boston Globe
Ernst Karl Gruhn, a young Ger
man electrician, has patented what he
calls the telescheirograph." an in
strument that reproduces over a wire
a written message.
1t differs from all other similar in.
ventions in that the actual writing of
the message sets up electric currents
which reproduce it at the other end.
1t has already been tried with success
over a line 200 miles long, and there
seems to be no limit to its action up
to the distance over which telephone
messages may be sent.
In fact, it is more nearly related in
it's action to the telephone than TO the
telegraph, and the electric current or.
dinarily used in telephoning is EN-.
ployed in this new device. It is in.
tended to supplement the telephone
rather than to supplant the telegraph.
The transmitting apparatus is con.
tanned in a case about as large as a
typewriter cover. To pencil holder
are attached two wires, each being
part OF q circuit. When not in use
the pencil lies in . rest that breaks
both circuits, much as telephone re-
ceiver breaks its circuit when not in
use.
The up and down motion OF the
pencil sets up what mathematicians
would call the ordinate" current, the
right and left motion actuates the
abscissa" current.
When the pencil is at the top OF the
pad tho ordinate current is at It's
