The Sweetest Tooth.
Britons have the sweetest tooth, and Americans come next, if the statistics for consumption of sugar mean anything. An Englishman eats annually 92.4tb., an' American consumes 79.2tb. In Denmark the average consumption is 72.61 b. per head, in Switzerland it is 551 b. ; in Germany, Holland, Sweden, and Norway, it is from 391 b. to 441 b. ; in France, 35tb. ; in Belgium, 33!b. ; in Austria, 24.2tb. ; in Russia. 19.8tb. ; in Portugal, 15.41 b. ; in Spain and Turkey, 111 b. ; in Italy, Bulgaria, Houmania, and Serbia, from 61b. to 71b. The principal reason for these variations is found in the relative highness or lowness of the Customs duties on sugar and on the things with which it is commonly associat-ed-coffee, tea, etc.
