SWEETS.

By the year 1770 sugar had become a staple product of Louisiana.

Sugar exists in the sap or leaves of near- ly 200 different kinds of trees.

Gibbon says that sugar was first brought from Asia to Europe A. D. 625.

The refining of sugar was invented in Antwerp in the sixteenth century.

Some writers say that there is a variety of sugar cane indigenons to America,

Botanists say that there are 26 different

varieties of vegetable parasites which at- | i

tack the sugar cane.

In 1887 there were 401 beet sugar fac- tories in Germany, 391 in France, 209 in Austria and 111 in Belgium.

The presence of glucose in solution is detected by its remarkable property of ro- tating a ray of polarized light.

According: to the latest statistics of Rus- sian sugar manufacture there were 214 sugar factories, manufacturing 260,000 tons of sugar.

Glucose may be manufactured by the action of sulphuric acid on starch, the acid being afterward removed by the action of powdered chalk or some other form of lime.

Candy makers calculate that the price of their products should be put at double the cost of the material, which will allow them a fair return for rent, labor and in- terest.

The sugar cane was introduced into America soon after the discovery, and its cultivation rapidly spread over all those parts of the new world adapted to its growth.

The introduction of fancy boxes for candies was due tothe demand on the part of customers for holiday, birthday and festival presents in neat and attractive packages,
