growers in the counties of Southern vir-'

crop, as the growers of these nuts have
found it almost impossible to obtain farm
laborers.

SUGAR MAKING.
The IIindoos Probably Learned tn.
Art From the Chinese.

The IIindoos Probably Learned the
Art From the Chinese.
Tho Chinese, who invented almost
everything before anybody else heard
of it, claim to be the original discover
els of the process of sugar making.
and it is said that sugar was used in
China us long ago as 1000 years This
is misty, but the fact is we'll establish
cd that it was manufactured in China
under the Tsin dynasty 300 years at
least before tie Christian era began.
India has put forward IL claim for
priority of invention, but the probable
ity is that the Ilindoos learned the art
of sugar making from the Chinese and
that through them the knowledge tinnl-
ly spread to the western nations. Ne
archus, when sent by Alexander on nn
exploring voyage on the Indus, brought
back reports of "boncy" which was
made by the Asiatics from cane with
out the help of bees.
AT this time neither the Greeks MOI
the Jews nor the Bnbylonlans had any
knowledge of sugar, but later the arr

came known and practiced, though Its
progress and development were ex-
cecdingly slow. 1t was prescribed as
Il medicine by Galen In A. d. $50, and
up to the seventeenth century 1t had
become nothing more than costly
luxury, to be used only on special occa-
sions. Even as late as the beginning
of the eighteenth century the annual
consumption Of sugar in Great Britain
had reached only 20O0O,O0O pounds
whereas 1T is now more than 100000
600 pounds.
Refined sugar wns not made In Eng
land till 1868, The art of refining was
learned by n Venetian merchant from
the Sarnccns, who sold the secret to
him for 100000 crowns.
