All other sugars besides cane sugar
and sugar of milk were unknown until
the year 1747, when German chemist
named Margraf first produced sugar
from white beet root. No practical use
was made of the discovery during his
lifetime. However, in 1899 his pupil
and successor, Achard, established
beet sugar factory in Suesia, soon aft
er which the chemists Of France, at
the instance Of Napoleon, largely ex-
tracted sugar from the beet root. It
was not, however, till after 1880 that
the industry secured firm footing,
but from 1910 onward it advanced with
giant strides.-London Globe.

The Horse and the Donkey.


The ancestors of the horse were ac-
customed to roam over the plains,
where every tuft Of grass or bush
might conceal an enemy waiting to
spring upon them. Under these cir
cumstances they must often have saved
their lives by starting quickly back or
Jumping to one side when they came
without warning upon some strange
object This is habit which has not
left the animal. even after long years
Of domesticataon.
On the other hand, the donkey is de-
scended from animals which lived
among the hills, where there were prec-
ipices and dangerous declivides, and
from these conditions resulted. his
slowness and sure footednsss. His an
cestors were not 30 liable to sudden at
tacks from wild beasts and snakes.
Besides, sudden and wild starts would
have been positively dangerous to them.
Consequently they learned to avoid the
very trick which has been so useful to
the horse The habit of eating thistlea.
which is peculiar alone to the donkey,
ia also descended from these ancestors.
In the dry, barren localities which they
inhabited there was often little food;
hence they learned to eat hard, dry
and even prickly plants when there
was nothing else.

Cronje,s Surrender.

The capitulation Of Cronje and his
1000 men on the anniversary Of Maui
ba day, 1900, will be remembered as
long as any incident of the Boer war.
An onslaught made by the Canadians,
who had intrenched themselves eighty
yards from the Boer position in the
river bed at Paardeburg, was greeted
not by storm of musketry, as had
been expected, but by the appearance
Of three, white hags hastily thrust
above the parapet of the Boer trench
81. Then horseman appeared, carry
ing another white flag and intent on
arranging a meeting between the gen.
erals. Forth from the lager came
presently two men. one mounted on a
white pony; in his hand sjambok,
wearing brown felt hat and huge
ovsrcoat, nothing of his face visible
but thicket Of hair and two glowing
sparks for eyes. This was Cronje, who
had kept the British army at bay for
ten days with no better shelter than
could be afforded him by deep river
bed. II am glad to meet 80 brave a
man." said Lord Roberts, but he re-
fused to accept anything short Of un-
conditional surrender. Cronjes reply to
the terms Of the, capitulation was
abort, but effective. "Ja," he blurted
out-London Globe.

The Duke and the Barber.

The Duko and the Barber.
In olden days an English noble enter
ed barber shop, and, upon inquiring
for the master, was answered by an
apprentice of fourteen that he was not
at home. "Do you shave, then?" asked
the duke. Eyes, sir. always do" was
the reply. But can you shave without
cutting?" Eyes, sir; I'll try," answer
ed the youth. Every WELL" said the
duke, while seating himself and load
ing his pistol But, look here, If you
let any blood, as true as I sit here I'll
blow your brains out! Now, consider
well before you begin."
After moments reflection the boy
began to make ready and said, "I'm not
afraid of cutting you, SIR" and in a
short time had completed the feat with
out scratch, to the complete salts
faction Of the duke. In gentle tones
his grace asked, "Were you not afraid
Of having your brains blown out when
you might have cut me so easily?"
mo, sir; not at all, because thought
that as soon as. should happen to let
any blood I would cut your throat be-
fore you could have time to fire."
The reply won from the duke hand
some reward. It need scarcely be add
ed he never resumed his dangerous
threats in a barber shop. A lesson was
taught him for life.

OLD JAPANESE ARMORERS.
Strange Legends of the Temper and
Keenness of Their Swords.

Strange Legends of the Temper and
Keenness of Their Swords.
The era of the sword in Japan has
given place to the rifle, but long before
this period the exquisite art of the orr
entail armorer was lost We are told Of
a blade composed Of 4,194,3O4 layers
of steel and polished so that the finest
European polishing pastes only serve to
scratch it. Few people have any idea
Of the art used in fashioning these
weapons. They doubtless appreciate
the beauty of the sheath, handle and
guards, but to them sword Is piece
Of steel made to cut, and that is all.
When the japanese armorer forged
sword he did it as If it were sacred
thing, and indeed it was in his eyes.
He forged the metal tenderly, with spe-
cial tools for each operation. He tenn
pered it with processes as secret as the
condolences of the gods. He had his
methods of securing in the metal most
marvellous color effects and Of produc
ing markings from an imitation Of
which the most expert armorers of Eu
rope would recoil in despair. Strange
legends are told of these old Japanese
armorers. Masa-Mune, n gentle smith
Of the fourteenth century, could let fall
hair of the hard shelled adzuki bean
across the edge of one Of his swords,
and 1t would be split in two, or, like
Regin, he would stand the weapon up
right In little stream Of water and
let the current carry along a little scrap
Of paper, which, as it touched the edge
Of the blade, would float away in
halves.
OF a different character was the
fierce old Mura-Masa, who forged
swords to the cry of "Tenka tairav'
(War to menD and quenched each one
in the warm blood Of a fresh human
victim. This so inspired the steel with
endless thirst that it would cleave iron
like bronze and bronze like melon in
the search of human life. If left too
long in It's scabbard it possessed it's
wearer with fierce desire to kill, and
II drawn only for display it would hash
the fingers of the one who welded it,
be he ever SO careful. So terrible was
the slaughter Of these semihuman
blades that their use was prohibited by
one Of the Tokugawa shoguns, and
thereafter they were forced to languish
in the sword racks. Minor smiths were
content to pile up copper coins and
display an edge unrufiled after cleav-
ing the stack or to cut through half
inch copper bar, but the great masters
smiled at such tests. The same blade
which in their case could split hair
or divide silk scarf which a gentle
breeze waited against it could slice the
iron or bronze like cheese.

MYsTERIoUsLY MURDERED.
st. Paul Butcher Killed In His Place
of Business.

st. Paul, Feb. 1s.-Christian H.
schindeldecker, a butcher, was mur-
dered in most shocking fashion in
his butcher shop at 523 West Seventh
street. His body was slashed and
hacked in many places.
The corpse was found in the rear
room Of the shop by an employee of
Schindeldecker at 12:45 p. M, almost
literally cut to pieces. The murder
was probably committed at 1890.
It appeared as If some person had
struck Schindeldecker in the head
with blunt instrument and knocked
him senseless. The murderer had
then completed his work by dragging
the body, dead or alive, into the rear
foom and fiendishly slashing it after
the manner Of a maniac.
Robbery was the apparent motive of
the crime.
