ff~~ SUGAR MAKING. China Claims tj Have Discovered the Original Process. The Cain o, Vo invented al most everything 1 ' re anybody .else heard of ir, ; > l>e the original di cow re; 01 tin- process of sugar mukin and u 1- said that sugar tva u.-cd In C! : long ago as 3,000 years. ri i.isty, but the fact is well e t;.' ii bed that it ?was manufacturi 1 in China under the Tsin dynasty, 200 years before the Christian era. India has put forward a claim for priority of in vention, but the probability is that the Hindoos learned the art of sag- ] nr making from the Chinese and that through them the knowledge finally spread to the western na tions. Nccrchus, whea sent by Alexan der on an exploring voyage on the Indus, brought buck reports of "honey" which was made by the Asiatics from cane without the hip: of bees. At this tmie neither the Greeks nor the Jews nor the Baby lonians had any knowledge of sug ar, but later the art of making the artificial "honey"' became known and practiced, though its progress and development were exceedingly slow. It was prescribed as a medi cine by Galen in A. D. 15?. Up to the Seventeenth century ; sugar had become nothing more than a costly luxury, to be used only on special occasions. Even as late as the beginning of the eight eenth century the annual consump tion of sugar rn Grout Britain had reached only 20,000,000 pounds, whereas it is now more than 2,000,- J 000,000 pounds. Refined sugar was ! not made in England till 1G59. The art of refining was learned by a Venetian merchant from the Saracens, who sold the secret to him for 100,000 crowns.?Weekly Bouquet. The Cathedral at Seville. The construction of this cathe dral at the end of the middle ages was practically the result of a wa ger. The canons heroically ruined themselves. They wanted to outdo the Christians of Toledo; they de sired to surpass the Moors of Cor dova; they wanted a map-el for Se villa, and Sevilla got the marvel. The central nave is of an extraor dinary height. Xotre Dame of Par is could easily be put into it. As for the four side naves, they could shel ter many churches and steeples in their depths. The main altar is im mense* with superimposed rows of sculptured panels nnd numberless 6tatues. The organ pipes are as large as cannon. Everything is huge, gigantic, overpowering. Thus religious ceremonies born in that prodigious edifice break forth into Sevilla with a character of grandeur and lavishness; they, ro to speak, inundate the streets of the city. Be it a grave epidemic to be feared or a great joy to be celebrat ed, all the prestige of a gorgeous ceremonial is resorted to as a mean of appealing to all the inhabitants. Voluntarily organized procession; tumultuously follow processions, each one larger, richer and more im posing than its predecessor.?Mod ern Culture. Selected It Herself. A dutiful husband wished to give j his wife a handsome lace scarf for a j birthday present, and, to make sure of getting one to her liking, he ask ed her to buy one herself on the pre tense that it was for a lady friend of theirs. The finest honiton, Va lenciennes and Ifrussels lace goods were spread out on the counter, but madam thought to herself: "What is the use of spending so much money on a present for Ame lie ?" So embroidered lace was shown j next. Even these were too dear. At length she selected a very plain and ordinary scarf. "Quite good enough, too," she thought, and took it home to her husband. "Have v ; hosen something pretty?" he as red. "Oh, yes; very iretty." "Is it juit wh .t you would have chosen for ; ours f?" "The ver thir -." "Then, n > you may keep it.

It comes-iu something of a shock to realize that Massachusetts is smaller than Vermont. One al ways lias a hazy general impression that the Bay State is three or four times as big as we are superficially. But it isn't so. Vermont lias 9,565 square miles, whereas Massat husetts has but 8,325. And there are five other states in the Union smaller than Vermont. New Hampshire is 200 square miles smaller, though if it were spread out flat it would dmibtless be much bigger than Ver mont. Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware and New Jersey are the four other states that are smaller than Vermont. But we all make a terribly poor figure when we compare ourselves with Texas. Texas, may it please your royal highness, has 205,780 square miles and is thus 28 times as big as Vermont and makes just about one-fourteenth of the whole United States. The Texans have plenty of elhpw room. Next to Texas in size comes Cali fornia,' with 158,300 square miles, and then follow Montana, 146,680; Nevada, 110,700, and Colorado, 103,925, which are all the states having 100,000 square miles of area or more. Alaska knocks them all silly with 590,S84 square miles, and at' the other extreme the reader experi ences a delicate surprise to le'arn that Hawaii, over which so much fuss has been made, is a good deal smaller than Vermont, having but 6,419 square miles. ?
