SUGAR Statistics.

The consumption of sugar i'll the
United States is increasing rapidly,
more rapidly then is the production.
During the year just erded we used
the enormous amount o $500, ooo,-
900 pour ds Of sugar, worth $780,
900, GOO. If each citizen got his
fair share, during the twelve
months he consumed IS pounds.
Of this sugar only one fifth was
produced in the United States; one
fifth came from the island posses
sions, ard three fifths was import
d from foreign countries Of the
American-proGuced sugar, a little
over half was from the sugar-leet.
the remainder from cane. This is
the first time the beet-sugar has ex-
,eeded in quantity that manufac'
tured from sugar cane. During the
the last ten years the increase in
the consumption of sugar has bee
three times as great as the increas,

A. Simple Remedy for Dyspepsia.

A physician has recently called at
tention to the use of water not only
as remedial and therapeutic agent,
but also as a mechanical agent. in
the treatment of certain forms Of dvs-
pepsia, especially those forms charac-
terized by a fulness in the left epigas-
trio region, with frequent eructalions
of sour and acrid matter, accompanied
by loss Of appetite, insomnia, AMI a
mental condition closely allied to mel
ancholia.
Let the patient drink from one to
three pints of water one hour before
each meal, and then comfortably. seat
himself in an easy rocking chair and
rock backward and forward for half
an hour. The rocking will agitate the
water in the stomach, wash the walls
completely, detaching any mycus that
may be adherng. and dilute and mix
the contents thoroughly. BY :his
means absorption will be more rapid,
and as consequences the skin, kidneys
and bowels will act more freely, elin1i-
mating from the blood uric acid and all
effete and deleterious matter, while the
stimulus of the water will cause the
stomach to contract and gastric Juice
to be secreted in such quantity az to
cause digestion to go on uninterrupt-
edIy and painlessly

In noood queen pess,n vino.

There is an amusing letter written
by the Earl Of Leicester to Lord Bur-
leigh as to the lack OF sufficiently
strong ale for the queen at Hatfield.
There is not one drop Of good drink
for her here. We were fain to send
to London and Kenllworth and divers
other places where ale was; her own
beer was SO strong as there was no
man able to drink It,
Ale aud bread were the chief items
of the royal breakfast. The quantity
of ale consumed by ladies at breakfast
in those days was considerable, for In
the reign of Henry VIII. the maids of
honor were allowed for breakfast "one
Chef loaf, one manchet, two gallons of
ale and pitcher OF wine"
A Lady Lucy made a mighty tonic
IF the national brew. Her breakfast
was chine of beef, loaf and a gal
Ion of ale; and for her pillow meal a
nosset porridge, a generous cut of
mutton, a loaf and gallon of ale.
