Our word "sugar" is said to be de rived from the Arabic "sukkar," the article itself having got into Europe through the Arabian Mohammeilans, who overran a great part of the woild ln the seventh, eighth and ninth cen turies. According to Dr. Vun Lipp man.a Dutch writer, as n result of thu Aral) Invasion of Persia sugar fouud its way into Arabia, whence again its culture was carried to Cyprus, Rhodes, Sicily and Egypt. In the last named country the preparation of sug ar was greatly linprovou, nnd tho Egyptian product became widely fa mous. From Egypt the industry spread along the northern coasts of Africa and so entered Spain, whero. about the year 1150, some fourteen re fineries were in operation. Columbus introduced sugar cano into the now world. Argonaut. His Dad Dream. Truly orlonlnl was the defence put forward by a prisoner nt Allpore.

Once a man in a wooteru stale sent In tin If of a tn dollar bill, accompa nied by an allldavit to the effect that Willie on a spree he had used the other half to light a cigar. Tho half lu for warded wan nicely charred along the Inner edge, and the story would have beeu accepted by treasury otllclals had It not lieen that within twenty-four hours there was received from a bank In tho samo state the other half of the note.

Wash ington Star Truly Answered. 'Boats trading In the Metiway In for mer years rejoiced in rather curious names, and the following was only one of the many amusing Incidents re sulting from this: A boat named Whst's That to You? passing a lockyard at nighttime was hailed as usual by the coast guards man.

"What's That to You?" "You shall lie reported for your Insolence:" roared the coast guards man. Again ho put the question, and, receiving the same reply, the boat was conirnandeel to remain where she wns. In the morning two bouts were seen keeping guard. The otllclals, as they hoare'ed the vewl with ftilj authority to scie the oll'enders, observed for tho first time the name painted ln largo letters.
