THE FIRST SUGAR LUMP
Who gave us our first lump ofsugar? asks an English writer. It was Henry Tate, born at Chorley, in Lancashire, in 1819. He began' life as a grocer's assistant and passed on to a sugar refinery at Liverpool, acquiring an invention by which loaf-sugar could be cut into cubes and becoming king of the sugar market.
We read of Henry in Arthur Mee's new book, "Lancashire," one of the King's : England series,- a fascinating Domesday Book of the duchy, which has been the cradle of our prosperity. The publishers are Messrs. Hodder and Stoughton.
