OUR SUGAR CONSUMPTION.
Beet Sugar Now More Than dab the
= Worlds Total ProduG ton.

OF the more than 1900 million dol
lars worth OF merchandise brought in
to the United States during the last
year more than $50 million dollars
worth was sugar. Sugar formed by
far the largest single item in this larg-
est importation whicn the United
States has ever made in any single
year.
The L tied States Is increasing
steadily and rapidly its consumption
of sugar. The sugar producers at
home are increasing their output OF
both cane and beet sugar, but even
their rapid increase in production Is
not keeping pace with the increasing
home demand, and as consequence
the quantity of sugar brought into the
country increases from year to year.
1t has doubled in the last twenty years,
while population meantime increased
but so per cent. The annual average
Importation during the five year 'riod
ending with 1885 was 1,0Sl,l ,l49 tons,
and diving the tive-year period ending
with 1905 the annual average was 2, LOG,
043 tons, despite the fact that the sugar
production at home had grown from
17e, ,O35 tons in 1885 to approximately
100000 tons in 1905.
The United States Is the largest
sugar-consuming country in the world,
though the per capita consumption in
this country is not as great as in the
United Kingdom. The total consump-

A TWO.FOOt Rat.

A warehouseman at the Oriental
dock, in Baltimore, had the distinc'
ton the other day of killing the lars
est rat ever seen along the local water
front. The rodent Weighed nearly
seven pounds. and from the tip of his
nose to the end of his tail he measured
two feet.
1t was only after a desperate fight,
lasting twenty minutes, that the i'm
mense rat was killed. For some time
scraps of paper and wood in the tool
room of the warehouse indicated that
swarm of rodents was at work. Then
one morning the warehouseman en-
countered the big fellow. With a
broom handle he attempted to put an
end to the rodents life, but the rat
showed fight. Back and forth he
scampered. and when cornered he
rushed at his assailant. Once he hid be-
hind a coil Of rope overhead. and then
he dashed at the mans head. The
latter lodged but the rodents sharp
teeth grazed his face. At last the rat
was killed and measurements proved
that he was the biggest ever seen in
port.
The animal is supposed to be spe-
cies found in South America and 1t is
believed he came here in ship, all OF
which carry many rodents.

IN IPONICAL VEIN.

Senator Lodges bill providing for
the reorganization of the consular SER
vice has been shorn by the Committee
on Foreign Relations of its most in
cendiary and detestable features-the
provision for examining candidates
for appointment. and this still more
Objectionable section:
That whenever vacancy shall
occur in the office of consul general,
or consul above the sixth ga ,00O) class
members of the two classes next below
that in which the vacancy occurred
shall be deemed eligible to be selecte 1
to fill such vacancy"
This was a palDable attempt to en-.
graft the merit and promotion system
rnon the consular service, and thereby
to deprive national la-makers OF their
ancient sacred right TO assist the Presf
dent In selecting consuls general and
htghsalaried consnls. A majority Of
the committee regard II as the sorf]id
injection of commercialism into n pure
" nolitiral matter. on the i1imgv pre
fence that the consular servic, is a
business institution.
If the Committee on Foreicn Re1a.
tfons had permitted this section IN
stand, 1t would have been an abiect can
'tUlaf'nn to the force that are sur
rentitiously rohbing Congress of its
patronage powers. The idea that
young consuls that have made good re-
cords should be promoted and that
