Albanians used to practice a pecu-
liar form of dueiing. Sir Richard Bur

bashi-bazouks, writes that the Albani-

when they are drunk, had peculiar
style of monomachy. The principals,
attended by their seconds and by all
their friends, stood close opposite,
each holding a cooked pistol in his
right hand and a glass of raki, or
spirits of wine, in the left. The first

fire, and generally blazed away with

meeting of the association at the Col

said in part;
The cost of producing the sugar in
most Of the factories is one cent a
pound and the cost of delivery to the
boats in port is from one-fourth to one
half cent a pouno. The total cost OF
manufacturing it is from $1.25 to $1.5C
per hundred pounds and the price OBJ
tanned is usua ly $500 for one hundred
pounds.
There is a total yearly output OF
100000 pounds and the average age for
harvesting the cane is eighteen
months. From fifty to seventy-fivC
tons to the acre is produced.
The mills are kept running all the
year and toll of 500 tons are
ground every twenty-fow hours
The final result after the sugar goes
through the boiling house is that they
