THE PRAISE OF SUGAR.
1t is One of the Most Powerful and Cheapest
of Foods
or Foods.

1t seems inconceivable that the
bountifulness with which the world
is supplied with sugar should mean
anything else than that it is designed
for human food. Sugar is one of the
most powerful foods which we pos
sess as it is the cheapest, or at any
rate one OF the cheapest. In muscu-
lar labor no food appears to be able
to give the same powers of endurance
as sugar; and comparative practical
experiments have shown without the
least doubt that the hard physical
worker, the athlete or the soldier on
the march is much more equal to the
physical strain placed upon him when
he has had included in his diet a lib
eral allowance Of sugar, than when
sugar is denied to him. Trophies,
prizes and cups have undoubtedly
been won on a diet in which sugar
was Intentionally a notable constitu-
ent. 1t has even been said sugar may
decide a battle and that jam, after
all, is something more than a mere
sweetmeat to the soldier.
The fact that sugar is a powerful
muscle food" accounts probably for
the disfavor into which it falls. for a
comparatively small quantity amounts
70 an excess, and excess is always in
imical to the easy working OF the
digestive processes. A strong solu-
ton of sugar is irritating to the It's
sues, will set up superficial inHam-
nation and may produce a form of
eczema. 1t is well known that an ex-
cessive diet of sugar irritates the
mucuous membrane of the stomach
and encourages the production of
mucus and of a highly acid gastric
Juice.
The ingestion of much sugar spoils
the appetite Children who have
been tempted to overindulge in 'loIli.

Sugar satiates; it is concentrated
food. Where sugar does harm, there
fore, 1t is invariably due to excess
Taken in small quantities and dis
tributed over the daily food intakes
sugar contributes most usefully IN
health to the supply Of energy re-
CURED by the body. In certain dis
eases, of course, the presence OF
sugar in the diet is plainly undesir-
able. Generally speaking, however
there is a prejudice against sugar
which is not justified by physiological
reasoning-at all events, when it is
eaten in moderation; and It 10 a curl
GUS fact that the man who practically
abstains from sugar, or reduces MS
diet to one almost free from carbohy-

as meat, often shows feeble muscular
energy and an Indifferent capacity for
physical endurance.-TheL Lancet.

Gathers in So q Day.

In clearing the streets Of mendi-
cants, Mrs. Maggie Short and her
nephew, Walter Mack, were arrested
by Secretary Trounstine, Of the Ohio
Humane Society, on charge Of street
begging, in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The boy whose parents live at Gov

the business district of this city.
Say, mister" he said to Mr., Troun-
slime, ard rather go to school than
do this begging"
Mrs, Short lives with Walters par
ents. He said to Assistant Superin-
tendent James T. Allen, of the Ohio
Humane Society, that he generally
cried to help increase his aunt's col
lections. The woman said that 1t
was nothing unusual for her to gath
er 81 a day and sometimes the re-
/ ceipts amounted to SO.

EARLY GRECIAN COINAGE.
Mark on Gold Ingots to Guarantee
Weight and Purity.

The invention of coinage is due to
the Greeks, most probably to the
bankers Of Halicarnassos and ada
cent Asia Minor Greek colonies, who
toward the end Of the eighth century
B. c. began stamping the small gold
and electron ingots which passed
through their hands as currency with
mark OF some sort intended to guar
antee the weight and purity Of the
metal; such ingots very soon assumed
round and more regular shape,
which we find already in old silver
coins from Aegina, nearly contem-
porary with Asia Minor beans
Curious TO say, none Of the sur.
rounding peoples with whom the
Asiatic and European Greeks were in
constant communication, political or
commercial, took up the wonderful
invention which at present seems to
us of such obvious necessity that we
scarcely realize how the civilized
world Of old could have got on with
out it. AS a matter of fact, however
neither the Phoenicians, with theiI
practical commercial sense, nor the
Lydians or the Persians, who claimed
the supremacy over the cities where
the new currency was initiated, moi
of course the Egyptians ever had coin
age, till the conquests Of Alexandei
disseminated the Greek civilization
all through the Eastern world. Thu
Romans came to know 1t through tn
Greek cities in Sicily and Magni
Graecia, and began striking silve
coins toward the beginning Of tn
third century B. c.
In the meantime with the Greek
die sinking, like everything else, ha
fallen within the domain OF art, an
} their coins remain forever a standar
of beauty for the artist and mode
, of perfection for the die sinker.-
