Our word "sugar" is said to be de-
rived from the Arabic 'tsukkar," the
article itself having got into Europe
through the Arabian Mohammedans,
who overran great part of the world

man, a Dutch writer, as a result of the
Arab invasion of Persia sugar found
its way into Arabia. whence again
it's culture was carried to Cyprus.
Rhodes, Sicily and Egypt. In the last
named country the preparation of sug-
ar was greatly improved, and the
Egyptian product became widely IA

spread along the northern coasts Of
Africa and so entered Spain, where,
about the year 1850, some fourteen re.
fineries were in operation. Columbus

Tho Shark Is a Slow Swimmer.

ITO 0HdTN 10 a DO" swimmer
One i'll service nature has done the
shark-namely, that of placing a TRAN
gular fin on his back which acts as a
danger signal and gives warning of his
approach. Happily the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagacity to
be aware of this popularity for had
he been so he would unquestionably
abandon his habit Of swimming close
to the surface of the water and would
in that case be enabled to approach
his victim unobserved. The shark is a
slow swimmer for his size and strength

COUNTING THE. PEOPLE.
First Census Proposal In England
Raised Fine Row.


1t was in 1853 that a proposal to
count the people was first made.
Thomas Potter, son Of the archbishop
of Canterbury and member for St.
Germans, introduced in that year a
bill "for taking and registering an an
nual account Of the total number of
the people and Of the total number of
marriages, births and deaths and also
of the total number Of poor receiving
aims from every parish and extra paro-
chial place in Great Britain It was
inevitable, of course, that directly this
proposal was made the precedent Of
King David should be quoted And
many were the jeremiads as to the al
tentative evils which would befall the
country. Those submitted to David
were mild in comparison. Mr.. Thorn
ton, member for York city, said:
II did not believe that there was any
set Of men or indeed any individual of
the human species so presumptuous
and so abandoned as to make the pro-
posal we have just heard. 1 hold this
subject to be totally subversive Of the
last remains of English liberty. The
new bill will direct the imposition of
new taxes, and indeed the addition Of
very few words will make it the
most effectual engine Of rapacity and
oppression that was ever used against
an injured people. Moreover, an an
nual register Of our people will ac-
quaint our enemies abroad with our
Weakness
Matthew Ridley, another opposing
member, added that his constituents
looked on the proposal as ominous
and feared lest some public misfortune
or an epidemical distemper should fol-
low the numbering. However, the
bill passed the commons only to be
promptly rejected by the lords. Not
until 1900 was the proposal again
made, and on this occasion it was
brought to a successful ISSUE The
first census of England and Wales was
taken in March, 1S01.-Westminste

BROUGHT UP HOT WATER.
The Friction of the Boat Made tho
Ocean Almost Boil.

Inc FRICTION OF the Boat Made tho
Ocean Almost Boil.
The steamship was speeding over
seas with a record breaking list of
passengers when one of the gay, young
and inquiring girls who are found on
every trip skipped up to the captain
and asked:
captain, are we really going fast?
1t seems as if we were just crawling"
"Fast," answered the captain grufr-
~, OF course we're going fast. With
nothing to see but water and sky you
can't judge our speed, but, my dear
young lady, the friction Of the boat is
so great it makes the water hot aft"
II don't believe it, giggled the girl,
and the captain, with a great show of
indignation, called for a rope and
bucket to prove his words. These
brought, he slung the pail down aft of
the vessel directly under the drainpipe
of the galley, where hot water runs
all day, and brought it up smoking, to
the establishment of the awstruck girl.
A long, lean Yankee who had been
watching the performance then came
forward and drawled, "Say, cap, that
must make you change your course
mighty often.''
"Change my course?'' clustered the
captain. "What would I change my
course fOr?"
"Well," said the Yankee slowly, $50

A DEED OF DARING.
Twenty seven Lives Saved by One
Man In Shipwreck.

Man In Shipwreck.
A historic case of daring and endur-
ance rarely equaled in life saving an
nails was that of the rescue Of twenty
seven souls by one man in 1867. The
fishing schooner Sea Clipper was driv-
en- by the tempest against a reef near
the Spotted islands on that coast and
speedily went to pieces. Captain Will
liam Jackman, in charge of fishing
crew at these islands, had wandered
in a direction he had never been be-
fore as if by inspiration and suddenly
saw the whole tragedy enacted before
his eyes. Hurrying his one compan-
ion back to the fishing station to sum-
mon help, he plunged into the bowling
swirl himself and eleven times swan
to the ship. Each time he took back
human being to safety, battling
splendidly against wind and tide.
Then help arrived, but no means was
available of communicating with the
vessel, so Jackman fastened a rope
around his waist and made fifteen
more trips, returning with a castaway
on each occasion. It was then discov-
cred that woman had been overlook
ed and left on board, and the belief
was expressed that she was dead, but
he declared that he would not leave
her there, living or dead. Accordingly
he plunged into the surf again and
soon bore the hapless creature to the
shore, where, divesting himself of his
f1annels, he wrapped hem round her,
as she was almost at Deaths door. She
expired a few hours later, but lived
long enough to thank her preserver
Tor his noble efforts in her behalf

A CURIOUS ANIMAL.
Tho Sea Cucumber Can Part With and
Replace Its Oruans,


Replace Its Organs.
Among the curious animals which in.
habit the sea we may take the holo-
thuria, or sea cucumber, so called from
its resemblance to the cucumber.
When this animal is attacked by an
enemy it does not stand up and fight,
but by sudden movement it elects it's
teeth, stomach, digestive apparatus
and nearly all it's intestines and then
shrivels it's body up to almost nothing.
When, however, the danger is past
the animal commences to replace the
organs which it has voluntarily parted
with, and in short time the animal
is as perfect as ever it was.
DR.. tombstone kept one in water for
a long time, and one day he forgot to
change the water. The creature in
consequence elected it's intestines and
shriveled up, but when the water was
changed all it's organs were repro
duced. Although the animal is not
eaten in Europe, it is a favorite with
the Chinese, and the fishing forms an
important part of the industry of the
east. Thousands of junks are annual
~ used in fishing for trepang, as the
animals are called.-London Tit-Bits.
