THE SUGAR CANE.
We Have borrowed IL From India,
Its Native Home.

The sugar cane and It's uses have
been known IN India, its native home,
from time immemorial. 1t is perhaps
the earliest source from which sugar
was produced, and all other modes OF
manufacture have been borrowed from
or based on it. The early classical
writer's knew sugar vaguely as honey
OF canes" TO the Greco Roman world
the sugar cane was the reed which the
swarthy Indians delighted to chew and
from which they extracted Il mystcri-
Gus swcetmeat.
1t was the Arabsthose great car
riers between the east and west-who
introduced the cane In the middle ages
into Egypt Sicily and the south Of
Spain, where ii fiourlshed abundan1y
until West Indian slavery drove 1t out
of the field for time and sent the
trade in sugar to jamaica and Cuba.
Early IN the sixteenth century the
cane was taken from Sicily to Madeira
and the Cannrles. Thence it found its
way to Brazil and Mexico, to Jamaica
and Haiti. Cane sugar was we'll
known in Italy about the second cen
fury and has been common In England
since the Tudor period The strenuous
days of great Elizabeth had sugar for
their sack. and ginger was hot / the

Believing, He Got Ready to Dodge


A Hudson river steamboat captain
extended the Inequalities of his snug
wheelhouse to clergyman who could
not find a seat on the crowded upper
deck. The visitor was chatty, and
when he had piled the man at the
wheel with sundry questions concern
ing his spiritual welfare the skipper
asked the reverend gentleman:
"Do you believe in predestination"
"Of course / do" was the emphatic
reply.
Then you believe that whatever is
to be Will be-"
Certainly"
"Wel, I'm glad TO hear it,"
"Why?"
Because I'm going to pass that boat
ahead In Just fifteen minutes if there is
any virtue in hard coal and safety
valves. So don't be alarmed. If the
boilers are not going to burst they
won't, that's all"
The divine arose, put on his hat and
was leaving the wheelhouse when the
captain observed:

nation?"

LAW COURT DECISION
In Sagadahoc Case of Coleman ir
Equity VS.. Dunton and Thompson.

The following rescript has been received
from the law court in the Sagadahoc case
of Coleman in equity VS.. Dunton and
Thompson. Rescript by Whtehouse, J.
In bill in equity for specific perform
ance of an oral agreement for the con-
Veyance of real estate, it appeared that
prior to the commencement of the plain
tiffs bill, a deed of the property in ques-
ton had been given by the defendant
Dunton to the defendant Thompson, who
claimed to be n bona fide purchaser there
of for valuable consideration without
notice of any prior right on the part of
the plaintiff
1t was contended on the other hand that
the transfer was made for the sole plr-
pose of deprivinG the plaintiff of his
equitable interest in the property, and
that the defendant Thompson knowingly
participated in that purpose. or. if not,
that he took the conveyance with a knowl-
edge of such facts as would have in
duced man of ordinary prudence and
caution to make further inquiries in rela-
ton to the nature and extent of the
plaintiffs interest in the premises, and
hence was charSeable with notice of
those facts which by the exercise of reas-
| enable diligence he might have asccr-
tanned.
Held. that although the plaintiff by
force of the oral contract and the acts of
part performance shown by the evidence
might have been entitled to relief in equi-
ty by decree of specific performance
against the defendants DuntOn, if the
legal title to the property had remained
\ in them, equity will stay its hand and re-
fuse to disturb the title of an innocent
grantee who purchased the recorded lc-
gal estate for valuable consideration
without notice of an outstanding equitable
interest.
Held, that notwithstanding the grounds
of suspicon suggested by the evidence
in regard to the bona fides of the transfer
to Thompson. the evidence reported does
not possess sufficient probativc force to
warrant a judicial finding of fact that at
the time he took the conveyance and paid
the consideration for it. the grantee had
actual notice. even in its enlarged legal
sense, that the land conveyed to him was
impressed with any trust in favor of the
plaintiff.
Bill dismissed.
