Where was sugar cane found first and when was it introduced into the United States? A. It is the oldest sugar pro- in the East Indies.

The name was applied to a district on the lower East Side in New York city formerly the head- quarters of a dangerous gang of thugs. Q. Why is the plural of tea- spoonful, teaspoonfuls, and not tea- spoonsful ? A, The rule is as follows: In such terms we are thinking not of the containing vessel but of the quantity it contains. A teaspoonful is not a teaspoonfilled. We are not thinking of the spoon but of the amount that is in it and we can | et a teaspoonful without a spoon by carefully dropping sixty drops; that is the amount that would fill a tea- spoon. To measure spoonfuls we do not need spoons, and we are not twenty spoons, but of twenty times the quantity that would fill one. twenty Hence we say not twenty teaspoons- | ful but twenty teaspoonfuls.

What caused the whiskey in- | surrection in 17917 i | A, The cxclse tax law was ex-| tremely unpopular in the western | counties of Pennsylvania and Vir- | ginfa because it was levied upon| | whiskey, the principal source of in-| {como of the people. They met in| mass meetings and threatened .vio- !lence to officers who attempted to |enforce the law. In 1794 warrants were issued for the ringleaders of the movement and some blood was shed when 2n attempt was made to {serve them. Disorders increased, | inspectors and revenue officers were flogged and the etills of those who obeyed the law were destroyed. Washington determined to use force to overcome the rebels and to indi- | countries the rength of the nation.

The United States Burcau of Standards says that the time a can- dle will burn depends on so many factors, such as the composition of the wax and wick, atmospherie con- ditions, air currents, etc., that no actual time can be given.
