to parts unknown. We are informed that
one of them was the largest pumpkin ever

Java Coffee.

In extent Java is about seven hundred miles
in length, and it varies from eighty to one
hundred and forty miles in width. Its area
is less than twenty thousand square miles.
The face of the country is more or less broken
by mountains, but the soil generally is rich and
productive. The products are rice, sugar,
coffee, pepper, spices, and a profusion of the
finest tropical fruit. 1t grows upon large
bushes, and the grains of coffee are formed
two in berry, about the size and shape of our
common plum. The skin of the berry is
abou. as thick as that of the plum, and the
color, when ripe, a pale scarlet.
The bushis very productive. Every branch
is loaded with the berries, which grow two
in place on the opposite side of each other,
and about an inch and a half apart. When
ripe the skin bursts open and the grains of
coffee fall upon the ground but more gen.
eral way is to spread something under the
bush and shake the coffee down. After the
outer skin is taken off there remains kind
of husk over each kernel, which is kroken off
(after being we'll dried in the SUM by heavy
rollers. 1t has been said by some writer's
that one bush with another, will not average
more than pound of coffee.
