When the Nrst Turkish minister,
sAele Nele. came to Warrington, q
grand bail was planned in his honor.
Hundreds Of invitations were sent out,
and nearly everybody who received
one came. for there was much curios-
ity to e the important Turk in his
native dress. Particularly were per-
Sons anxious to examine the splendid
dress turban which had been described
and talked about, made. as it was, Of
plaster Of paris. yeti looking like the
finest muslin. When the evening ar
rived, Mele Mele seemed to be the only
one who was not having a good time.
he stood looking as If he did not know
that everybody was admiring him and
altogether vas very much bored till
suddenly he caught q glimpse of a big
negro woman who was assisting in
serving the supper. Instantly he
rushed up to her and, throwing his
arms about her neck. gave her a good
kiss, explaining that he could not help
1t, she reminded him SO much Of his
best and most expensive wife, and,
while the company thought it a very
odd thing to do, everybody could un-
derstand that he was a homesick man
and nobody minded it in the least.

Arrian in his Circuit Of the Red
Sea" alludes to the sap which slows
from reeds, thickens like honey and is
sweet to the TASTE. Seneca. who
Chambers Encyclopedias says was
born at Corduba a few years B. c."
writes concerning the use Of burned
sugar. among the people Of India and
concludes by adding. I'm my opinion
the use Of sugar spoils the teeth"
Nearchus says that sugar cane was
first made known to the western coun.
tries by the conquests of Alexander
the Great. The first Of the sugar n
were brought from the. east to Sicily
In the year 1148 and two years later
were introduced in Spain. In 1903 the
spaniards brought some Of the seeds
or plants to the West Indies, and from
these the present industry has grown.
According to the London Economist,
