THE SUGAR WE EAT.

Average Of seventy-nve Pounds q
Year for Every Person.
He would have an idle mind indeed
who, as he dropped his one or two
Jumps into his morning coffee, turned
to wondering how many pounds Of su-
gar he uses In one way or another dur
Ing a twelvemonth, and If he tried to
guess he would probably hit far from
the truth, says the Providence Journal.
When, however, the government gives
the Information, as 1t does In state
ment given out recently through
the Department OF Commerce and
Labor, the busiest man may with
out loss Of self-respect give passing no
tice to the curious fact. The total con-
sumption Of sugar in this country for
the last year for which complete fig
ures are in the governments posses
sion aggregate almost two and three
quarters millions Of tons, an average
annual consumption for each inhabit-
ant Of about seventy-five pounds. This
makes us the largest sugar-consuming
country in the world, though In per
capita consumption the British surpass
US.
OF course, however, this is a matter
of no significant interest compared with
the chief fact brought out in this re-
port, that in the list Of commodities i'm
ported into the United States last year,
greater In value than in any year be-
fore, sugar was by far the largest sim
gle item. This is fact which has an
obvious bearing on more than one
question Of national legislation, and
which should be kept firmly fixed In
mind, even though we may safely for
get, almost as soon as we have read,
the precise quantity that each Of us
takes into the stomach in the course
Of year. A commodity Of which we
import SO much-more than hundred
and fifty million dollars worth in 1905
necessarily requires special consider
alton In any arrangements that may be
made regarding our foreign trade.
We are to-day not only the largest
consumers of sugar In the world, but
we are steadily and rapidly increasing
our consumption-so rapidly, indeed,
that though the sugar producers at
home, both cane and beet, are con-
ttnually adding to their output they
are not at all keeping pace with the
growing home demand. The quantity
from abroad has doubled in the last
twenty years, while the population has
increased but 80 per cent. AS In the
meantime every reasonable pecuniary
iI.ducement has been offered for the
production of sugar at home, 1t Is clear
that we must continue to depend main
~ on foreign supplies for our multiply
ing requirement.

II 10 the misfortune Of the average
British colonial governor that while he
takes Robert Give and Warren Has
Itings a. his models In respect Of their
!masterful temper he lacks the genius
lot those eminent looters and bulldozers
There Is something to admire In the
career Of Give. He was not q petty
Idespot but born ruler Of men, and the
verdict which declared that he had
rendered great and admirable serv-
Ices" to the English nation was 1usti-
fed by the facts. So, too, with Has
:tings Money stuck to his hands; 20
did blood. He was tyrant when he
deemed 1t necessary. But he, like Give,
rendered his country service. His
greatness cast his mercenary and IN
human characteristics into obscurity.
Much Is to be excused to a big man
with human failings The same thing
can not be said Of the little man who
initiates the big mans failings and ig-
inores his virtues. Our friend Swetten-
ham In Jamaica was a survival Of the
Give and Hastings traditions In the
matter Of arrogance and serene conf
dence In his own wisdom and ability
to confront any emergency. His pic
ture shows typical British face Of the
official type self-satifed, stubborn, su-
lpercilious. Such q man with brains
makes an ideal administrative officer
iuhora infori0r rooos ora ~ hn doo1%
with. Such a man lacking in brains
sooner or later gets into a mess, espe-
Icially when he comes into relations
with white people quite as self-satis-
fed and many times as acute az he.
That was Swettenham's fix. He suf-
Ifered as the result Of using East In
dian methods In the West Indies-of
adopting the high and mighty attitude
where q certain savoire faire was in
Dictated. In other words, Swettenham
has made an ass Of himself through
trying his oriental system upon Ameri-
cans. 1t is altogether probable that
nine out Of ten British colonial gov
errors would have made the same mis-
take, since they are all trained in the
same school The British functionary
Of the colonial system is taught by pre-
cept and tradition that he Is the big
gest man in the service Of the biggest
nation in the world. He makes the as
sumption go" In such majority Of
cases that he Is UNNECESSARILY sur
prised when he confronts q situation
where the formula not only fails but
causes him trouble. If Swettenham
lives 1000 years he will never cease
to marvel that his calm assumption Of
the right to bulldoze Americans as well
as negroes and coolies got him into diff
flculties. 1t is contrary to all his ex-
perience and habits of mind.

rrtend.hip with wild Life.

II a fairy had ever offered to grant
me three wishes, "the full confidence
of wild animals would surely have
been one of them, and probably the
first. II we seek opportunities to be-
friend wild creatures and take advan-
tage of them we shall often find, as l
have done, that there Is no lack OF re-
Spouse on the part OF the animals. I
once walked up to a pine siskin as he
was feeding on the ground and picked
him up in my hand He did not seem
a bit alarmed, and when, few minutes
later, / set him down, he continued his
search for food within few inches of

CRAZY MAN ESCAPES AND
SHERIFF HAS LONG CHASE

Through carelessness upon the part
of farm hands at the Osborn ranch
about eight miles from the city,
Sheriff Haviland and Deputy Sheriff
Berry made a fruitless trip into the
country after an insane person.
At II O'Clock last night Sheriff Havi-
land received a message from Osborn
saying a crazy man was wandering
around the brush near the farm house
The sheriff replied he would leave i'm
mediately and instructed the informant
to secure the man with ropes if neces-
sary. if they had plenty of help. He
was told there were several men there
and his instructions would be obeyed
When the farm was reached the men
had let the victim escape. Some of the
men told the officer which way the
insane man had gone. A long search
in the darkness through the adjacent
country proved Of no avail. A call is
expected to be received today concern
ing the whereabouts of the victim.
The man, who was a stranger, be-
lieved people were after him with the
intention of taking his life.
