PRAYING TO DIR. JACKSON.

DR.. Arthur F. Jackson, a British
physician and Cambridge graduate,
was one of the white men who died
Of plague in Manchuria this year.
The following is the text of a speech
made by Hsi Liang, viceroy of Man
churia, at the memorial services held
at the British consulate general in
Mukden on Feb. 1, 1911: eve have
shown ourselves unworthy of the
trust laid upon us by our emperor;
We have allowed a dire pestilence to
Overwhelm the sacred capital. His
majesty the king of Great Britain,
shows sympathy with every country
when calamity overtakes them. His
subject, DR.. Jackson, moved by his
sOvereign's spirit, and with the heart
of the Savior, who gave his life to
deliver the world, responded nobly
when we asked him to help our coun-
try in it's need. He went forth to
help us in our fight; daily, where the
Pestilence lay thickest, midst the
groans of the dying, he struggled to
cure the stricken, to find medicine
to stay the. evil.
Worn by his efforts, the pestil-
ence seize upon him, and took him,
from us, long ere his time Our sor-
ro" is beyond all measure, our grief
too deep for words. He came to
Manchuria with the intention of
spreading medical knowledge and
thus conveying blessing upon the
eastern peoples. In pursuit of his
ideal, he was cut down. The presby-
terrain mission has lost worker of
gceat promise, the Chinese govern
ment man who gave his life in his
desire to help them.
20, spirit of DR.. Jackson, we pray
you intercede for the 2O,OOO,OOO peo-
pie IN Manchuria, and ask the Lord
of heaven to take away this pestil-
ence, so. that we may once more lay
our heads in peace upon our pillows.
In life you were brave, in death you
are All exalted spirit. Noble spirit,
who sacrificed your life for us, help
us still and look down in kindness
upon us all"

and has been mostly in beet sugar.
The importations increased during
the same period from 914,6OO tons to
2,SS71OO tons. At present there Is
much more beet sugar than cane SUI
gar manufactured In this country,
that form of the supply being obtain
ed chiefly from California, Colorado,
Michigan, and Wisconsin, where eli
matte and soil conditions have been
found peculiarly favorable for rails
ing the sugar beet.
Sugar has ih the past played its
important part in the history of this
and other countries. The maple SUI
gar industry of the Eastern States
was a thriving pursuit even in very
early days, while trade with the West
Indies called for a transaction
| in which New England rum was
exchanged for one of it's mild
er ingredients. The home consump-
ton was then more economical, how
ever, judging from Irving's account,
which told of an ingenious device
common among the old Knickerbock-
err families, who swung a large lump
over the tea table, the assembled
guests alternately slipping and nib
bling during the progress of the fes-
tivities. In the sunny islands sugar
was a source of enormous revenue in
early times. The Jamaica planters,
It is said, carried their silver through
the streets in wheelbarrows. so pros
porous were they, and imported RAJ
cling horses from England for the To-
cal derby. In some of the Southern
States, too, particularly in Louisiana,
the profits were immense, each SUI
gar plantation being sort of princi-
pality, where the fortunate owner liv-
ed in luxury and dispensed royal
bounty, and where no little of the for
mer magnifcence may still be found.
Of the sugar imported at presene,
about one-third comes from United
States territory, chiefly Hawaii and
Porto Rico Most of the remainder is
received from Cuba. The area in
this country adapted to the raising
of cane sugar is largely taken up, but
that in which beet sugar may be pro-
duced is susceptible of large devel-
opment, and the increase Of the in
dustry on home soil may yet go far
toward filling the demand. One 9TH

flourish along with the increase in
