Early History Of Product
is Wrapped in
Obscurity.

Few other commodities possess a
larger photography than sugar. Never
theless, the early history of sugar is
wrapped in obscurity. Formerly chem
lists called everything a sugar" which
had a sweet taste, but the term in its
scientific sense soon came to be re-
stricted to the sweet principles in vege-
table and animal juices. Only one Of
these cane sugar, was known as
pure substance until 1919. when an
italian chemist isolated the sugar of
milk and proved its individuality The
original habitat of sugarcane IS not
known. but 1t seems TO have been first
cultivated in China and to have eX-
tended thence to India and Arabia at
a comparatively late date. sugar Is not
mentioned by either Grecian or Roman
writers until the time of Nero, ana

fingers A famous parliamentary
anecdote hinges on sugar. Pitt tLord
/ Chatham), when speaking, probably on
the West Indian slave question, began
his speech: Sugar, Mr.. Speaker" the
popularity of its commencement elicit
ing 4 roar of laughter from the house.
Nothing daunted. Pitt began, Sugar,
Mr.. Speaker" The laughter was re-
newed, but not so vehemently. A third
time the great orator reiterated the
same formula in a voice of thunder,
turning round about with look which
effectively stopped any further display
of visibility and amid perfect silence
continued his speech
All other sugars beside cane sugar
and sugar of milk We're unknown until
the year 1T47, when a German chemist
named Margraff first produced sugar
from white beet root. No practical use
was made of the discovery during his
lifetime. However. in 1893. his pupil
and successor, Achard, established a
beet sugar factory in Silesia. soon after
which the chemists of France, at the
instance of Napoleon largely extracted
sugar from the beet root. 1t was not,
however. till after 1880 that the indus
try secured a firm footing, but from
1910 onward it advanced with giant
strides.
The art of refining sugar and making
what is called loaf sugar was invented
by a Venetian citizen toward the end
of the fifteenth century. The same art
was first practicad in England in 1544,
the adventures being Thomas Car
diner and Sir William Chester, assisted
by three Nenetians. They were pro-
prietors OF the only two sugar houses
in England, but the profits arising from
this concern were at first small. as.
the sugar refiners at Antwerp could
supply the London market cheaper
Eventually war stopped intercourse
between London and Antwerp and
these two houses supplied all England
for a space of twenty years and great
ly enriched the proprietors, whose sue
cess induced many others to embark
in the same trade. In 1886 Sir Thomas
Mildmay tried TO create a sugar trust.
On the pretext that frauds were prac-
ticed in refining sugar. he petitioned
Elizabeth TO grant him license for the
exclusive right of refining sugar for
term of years. but the Queen refused
the request.

SUGAR TRADE OF VENICE.
The Venetians were the fathers of
the European sugar trade. Anterior to
the year 114S they both imported con-
siderabl quantities of sugar from In
dia and planted the cane in the island
of Sicily. With the produce of this
island and the Indian imports the
Venetians carried on a great trade and
supplied all the markets of Europe
with this commodity. However. the
exact date when sugar was first intro
duced into England is difficult to as
certain. One of the earliest references
to sugar in England is that of 100000
pounds of sugar being shipped to Lon
don in 1919 by one Loredanao, a mer
chant of Venice, to be exchanged for
wool. In the same year there appears
in the accounts of the chamberlain of
Scotland a payment at the rate of Is
9 I'D a pound for sugar. Writing in
1880, Chaucer mentions the sweetness
of sugar allegorically.
The increased use of sugar was cred
tied with having eXtinguished the
plague IN Europe. II certainty
uted to suppress the native malady of
England the scurvy. There used to be
a custom in Wales on Ascension day
for children to form parties to take
sugar and water at a neighboring well.
Each child was provided with sugar
and a cup. The day was usually de-
signated sugar and water day. The
superstition was that all who drank of
the mixture there on that day would
be proof against illness and protected
from evil spirits for twelve months.
Hone mentions a similar custom being
prevalent in Derbyshire on Easter
Sunday under the name Of sugar cup

his wife on the mountain side overlook

Mrs. Evans died, and he became prac-
ticaIly a hermit But when he felt
death coming upon him he professed
a rooted objection to being laid to rest
by her side, and left orders that his
body should be taken to his birthplace
near Carnarvon for burial. His one
anxiety was that his coffin should not
be forgotten at a junction on the rail-
way journey. Attired in his Sunday

head. and his pipe, tobacco and walk

just been buried in strict accordance

 tained. Will Appeal.

Judge Lacombe, of the United States circuit court. New York, has sustained the demurrer of the Lewi- sOhn,estate in the suit of the Old Do- minion to compel the Lewisohn estate to restore its proportion of stock in the Old Dominion company. which, it is claimed. was fraudulently taken by the late Leonard Lewisohn and \. $. Bigelow as promotion profits at the time of the Notation of the old Do minion company.
 Judge Lacombc, in sustaining the demurrer, dismisses the bill. He takes the ground that Messrs. Lewi- sohn and Bigelow were not promoters and disregards the promoters liabil- ity law.
 The case will immediately be taken on appeal tolthe United States court of appeals. It is very similar to that brought in Massachusetts against A. $. Bigelow.

4 Noble Institution.

One of the largest fraternities in point of numbers and the largest of purely American origin is the Im- proved Order of Red Men. Under the protecting folds of its waving banner, over four hundred thousand American citizens find shelter. Only beneath the starry flag k it permit ted by it's laws to exist, and no man may seek admission who iS not an American citizen or has not duly and legally declared his attention of be coming such. This, then, is the greatest reason why it appeals to the young men of the land. those who feel and know that the grandcSt boast which man may utter is ''l am an American Citizcn.' Its only reStriC- tionS upon admission are that the ap- plicant be d white man. of full age and understanding, sound of body and mind and of good moral character. There k no room for political discus sion of any kind within its border, and the only time that subject ap- preaching the matter of religion k introduced is when the applicant is asked to affirm his belief in the cx- i>tcncc of q Supreme Being, without which affirmation he cannot be adopted into q tribe of the order. Rigot and intolcrant find here no welcome.
 As you enter their wigwam, so you depart free man has long been the motto of the Red Men, and every man who has passed the outer wicket knows that to be solemn truth. The AmcriCanism of the order is the true American spirit which breathes tcrvid patriotism in every word and every line and stands for equal rights for all, and not the false article which would deny to others the very benefits we seek ourselves.

The New ThOrnIess Cactus.

Burbank's efforts with the cactus land the cactus is but one of many plants with which he has worked wonders) are admirably related in the Current Century. Speaking of the fruit the writer says:
 The flavor is something quite un- known to the tongue before com bination of the lavOrs of half q dozen fruits, suggesting to some q pineapple, to some d melon, to some d peach, to some an apricot, but still wholly without definition or identifi- in fact, it has been found that the natives of some of the southern climes virtually live upon the fruit of one of the crude, partly developed vigOr.'
 The writer, w. $. Harwood, goes on to say:
 But MT. Burbank opens one more fruit. This time the longitudinal slit of the knife reveals q golden meat wholly different in flavor. Each fruit is in form like fat cu- cumbcr hattened at the ends. say two and d half inches in length.
 ''One of the more highly developed plants, grown to gigantic stature in three years, has over six hundred pounds of nutritious food for man and beast in it, and as you look upon this one plant and think of the vast multiplication of it now possible, you begin to see something of what is to come to pass in the reclamation of the waste places of the earth. You call to mind the quotation which he made to q friend. as he looked out upon the future of this. but one of the hundreds upon hundreds of works he iS engaged upon for the welfare of man: The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them: and the desert shall rejoice and blos- som as the rose.
 II asked Mir. Burbank if there might not he in this wonderful, growth something of interest to the paper maker: might not the leaf con- tain prodigious amount of cellulose fiber suitable for manufacture into paper?
 "'No,' he said. that is precisely what l have bred out of it. l am making it an intensive as well as an extensive food, eliminating as far as possible the cellulose as it appears in woody, iibre-like material. and mak- ing the whole plant, from root to crown. a reservoir of food.
 The cactus now becomes definite practical food. It may he eaten raw or cooked. The leaves may be put up and preserved, as ginger or melon rinds or citrus. They may be eaten itself will prove one of the delicacies of the markets.
 But not only has the constitution of the cactus plant been cared for so that needs only to be adopted by the world to become new source of food supply, but it has in the meantime been made so hardy that it will en- dure the coldest climates: it may be grown from the equator to the pole. or as far north as any vegetation can be produced. The new plants pre- serve their type also, never reverting but always persisting. There is fpnt parently no degeneracy. no return t0 ' its coat of mail, but steady per sistence in its new life habits and its l phvSIcal structure.
