Proposal #1: NaCl is a cubic crystal, so using a high-power magnifier you
pick out all the itty bitty cubes and what's left is sugar :-)

Proposal #2: Catch a bunch of ants. Bring them to the pile of mixed salt
and sugar. They will try to carry away only the sugar. Grab each
departing ant, snatch the sugar crystal she is carrying, and send her back
for more :-)<
