Molasses and Sudar.

The term "molasses" is properly APP
piled to the saccharine product which
is separated from sugar in the process
OF manufacture. A syrup is the direct
product of the evaporation of the
juice OF a sugar-yielding plant or tree
without the removal of any OF the
sugar. The term molasses applies to
the same process with the exception
of the fact that the sugar has been re-
moved at least partially by crystalllza-
tion and some kind of mechanical sep
aration of the crystals from the re-
naming liquid.

cheerfuIness of EnqIishmen.

II you ask any intelligent foreigner
what his chief impression of England
is he will invariably reply the cheer
fulness of the English. If any proof
were needed of the prevalent gloom it
would surely be found in the aston
ishment which the few remaining
cheerful people cause and the amazing
popularity they enjoy. Our sunny
friends and acquaintances can be
counted on our fingers; our dismal
ones are all around us. A really
cheerful Englishman is such a phe-
nomenon that everybody asks his
wife If "he is always like that" and
refuses to believe her when she an
swers in the afiirmative.-Lady Cor
