How COFFEE CAME TO BE UsED.-It IS
somewhat singular to trace the manner
in which arose the use of the common
beverage of coffee, without which few
persons, in any half Or wholly civilized
country in the world, now make break
fast. At the time Columbus discovered
America, it hadnever been known or used.
It only grew in Arabia, and Upper
Ethiopia. The discovery Of it's use as a
beverage is ascribed to the superior of a
monastery in Arabia, who, desirous Of
preventing the monks from sleeping at
their nocturnal services, made them
drink the infusion of coffee, upon the
reports of shepherds, who observed that
their focks were more lively after brows
ing on the fruit Of that plant. Its rep
utation !, spread through the adjacent
countries, and in about two hundred
years it had reached Paris A single
plant, brought there in TIA, became the
parent stock of all the French coffee
plantations in the West Indies. The
Dutch introduced it into Java and the
East Indies, and the French and Span
ish all over South America and the West
Indies. The extent of the consumption
now can hardly be realized. The Unit
ed States alone annually consume it at
the cost, on its landing, of from fifteen to
sixteen millions of dollars.

sow1NG. PLASTER. "A correspondent
of the Country Gentleman writes: Re
Gently I saw plan of sowing this fer
tilizer new to me, aud that was efficient
and very expeditions. Several bushels
were placed in the rear end Of the wag-
on-box; the sower sitting on stool or,
what is easiest, placing his knees in the
plaster, and facing the rear end Of the
box. As the team moves along, about
ten feet from the fence, the sower fills
his right hand with plaster, throws it
quickly to the left, as the body moves
to the right, fills the left hand with plas-
ter and hyrrls it to the right, and con-
tinues thus alternately. An active boy
can, by this plan, SOW more plaster in
half day than two strong men and
with a few moments practice SOW it
equally as even. II the ground is quite
hard it Will answer to SOW plaster in this
way on spring sown grain; but it is es-
pecially recommended for clover ground.
A strip twenty feet in width is sown at
each passage across the field, and is not
necessary to SOW in lines, but cross the
fields in any direction, SO that the dust
may not fly on the horses; the wagon
tracks being a sufficient guide for the re-
turn trip.

WHEN TO SELL WHEAT.-When to
sell the crop of wheat is, perhaps, more
difficult to decide than to thresh. We
have known farmers who, for series
Of wears. were obliged to sell their wheat
as soon as possible after harvest to meet
debts. and again others who were able to
hold for the highest prices, and we were
satisfied, from years Of observation, that
those who were compelled to sell early,
realized, taking one year with another,
the highest prices for their grain. We
noticed that when from any cause what
ever there was sudden rise IN wheat,
they who were able to hold were resolv-
ed not to sell till it had reached the top
price, and frequently, jue5 before 1t
reached that price, it suddenly fell tar
below the point from which it started on
it's spasmodic advance. 1t farmers could
always know with some accuracy just
the amount of old grain and flour LETT
over, and the true condition OF the crops
all over the world, so they might be able
to Judge q TIE ratio of supply to de-
mand, they would lie prepared to decide
whether the early market Is what It
ought to be or not; but so long as there
are grain spectators all over the world
trying to bear the market by exaggarat-
ed sta elements of the amount of the old
crop left over in the great centers OF the
world, and with over-estlmates OF the
new crop, they are without reliable
guide. There was time when specula-
tors we're able to subsidize almost the
entire press, and procure such crop
statements as should suit their own IN
terests and mislead the farmers, but the
time for that, we trust, is rapidly pas
sing by, and the time rapidly approach
ing when the intelligent farmer shall be
quite as we'll informed upon the pro
spective condition Of crops and markets
as any other class. When the. farmer
shall have become thoroughly informed
upon all questions liable to affect the
prices. he will be a great deal better
prepared to decide when to sell his crops
than he has been OF is now. Perhaps
we may lay it down as general rule,
that when the last years crop has been
generally short one, and the present
one is abundant the early market is best;
but when the last one was abundant, and
the current one is short, the later market
will be higher. We have generally done
quite as well to thresh and prepare our
grain for market as soon as we convent
entity could, and when prepared, to sell
it, and we do not know that we can give
any better advice to others.-Ana. Rural

The FALL TRADE IN New YORK
The New York Times of Saturday says {:
'sThe present week being the one cores
ponding to that preceding last years
panic, merchants are generally. compar-
ing their present trade with their trade
then. Extensive inquiries among them
show that they regard the outlook very
hopefully. 1t is true that sales are not
SO large this week as on the correspond
ing one last year, but very fair trade is
being universally done. A comparison
by the number of dollars worth sold is
thought to be an unfair one, because of
the exceedingly low rates now obtaining.
One large house on Broadway said that
their sales of $40, 900 on one day this
season fully equaled in quantity of goods
sold, trade of $4,000 last year-the
difference representing q corresponding
difference in the price of goods. Another
popularity of this season seems to be
that the trade is being done this week
which was done in the preceding week
last year. The reason is, that the trade
this year is, so to speak, hand to mouth
one. The country retailers bought only
those goods which they saw their way to
selling, now they are back again COM
pleting their purchases which last year
they would have made all at once. Gen
orally speaking, very fair average trade
is being done with good promise of in
crease but at the same time those mer-
chants inquired of universally deny that
anything unusual is being done in any
line of goods or on any particular day
the rU1mor to the contrary notwithstand-

A CAIRO SENSATION.

Carlo experinced real sensation Sat
urday morning, and we shall probably
hear more of it. The sensation came in
the shape of an erolite or meteor, and
according to the description, one of the
largest, brightest and most remarkable
ever witnessed. 1t is described as ap-
pearing in the northern sky, OF size
apparently as large as the moon, and
as dazzlingly bright as the sun, and
moving toward the horizon with light
ming rapidity. When seemingly near
the earth, it exploded with terrific force,
frightening people out of their beds and
shaking the houses like an earthquake.
Search is being made for some of the
fragments, which will probably De found
not far distant.
There are many accounts given of the
falling of these strange bodies, and
though usually the phenomena take
place without SERIOUS results, there are
instances on record where the contrary
has been the case. During q shower of
aerohtes in Saxony in early times, a
great many persons were Killed ana
thirty-fve villages were yet on Ire.
The largest specimen Of these stones
found on the earth were discovered by
Swedish Arctic expedition, IN 1871, on
the west coast of Greenland. One of these,
which was brought to Stockholm, weighs
rs tons. The Smithsonian Institute
at Washington contains some fine specl-
mems, many of them found in Mexico,
but the largest of them weighs but l 400
pounds. Accounts go to show that the
meteor seen at Cairo will take rank
among the most interesting which have
beenIwitnessed. In 1913 one was seen ID
England, shining with the light of the
sun, and descending vertically, Kissing
sound accompanying it, while a great
trembling of the earth was felt. One
was also seen in 1719, in London. The
stars disappeared in its brilliant light,
and the moon paled SO as to be scarcely
visible. It moved very rapidly, and
finally burst with loud explosion on
the opposite coast of Brittany. a Me
teor was seen in 1919 at Danvers, Mass,
and at Baltimore, the diameter OF which
appeared to be half mile Two min
utes after it's disappearance ru1nbling
noise was heard which lasted something
longer than a..minute. What these bod
les are, where they come from, and how
they became heated to SUCH an e1traor-
binary degree, has never been satlstac-
torily determined.

YHy THEY Stop THE HOME PAPER,

WHY THEY STOP THE HOME PAPER
Every publisher knows that in times of
scarcity of money many of his susbscrib-
ers are apt to drop off. The individual
informs the editor, publisher, or the
agent who calls to see him, that he
''can't stand the pressure" and must
give up the paper. The reasons given by
different persons are about as follows
One leans on his billiard-cue and says,
REALLY I must stop your paper, [ can't
get money enough to support my fami-
~" and if you watch him an hour or
two you will see him lose enough money
to pay for the year. Another says, 4
know your paper is the best in the sec
ton, but I take too many papers. have
the ''Mudhole Investigator, the ''Saw
dust Examiner, the s'Banner of Light,
the "Clipper" and the ''Toledo Blade"
Another must stop because he can get
a paper from distance for q few shil
hngs less. So far as this paper is con-
cerned, we believe it is worth the price
charged for it; and we do also believe
that any man, who drops off his paper
for any Of the above fimsy reasons in
lures himself more than he does us.
There is another class who stop their
paper in this manner: They neglect or
refuse to pay their subscriptions until
they are in arrears, and then refuse the
paper from the post-offce, leaving the
publisher to whistle for his pay It
makes us sweat to think Of the final fate
of such 1nan.-Green Bay Advocate.

He has unusual precision of gait and
manner, joined to strong indications of
keen perceptive powers. The eyes are
particularly fine, and there is pleasing
show of humor and kindness in the lines
about his mouth. He Is in the prime of
life, and there is. no sign of his. inventive
genius being on the wane. AS much
as 25 years ago he invented a method of
applying compressed air as motive
power to machinery. His applications
for a patent were defeated on the grounds
that it was discovery, not an invention
Now the Calling gun is recognized as
the greatest invention of the age, and
what is of more account to the inventor,

his attention to the motive-power of

The gases which are generated in coal
mines are either evolved from the coal
strata, or are produced by the decompo-
sition Of the wood and the slack of the
sub-wastes, or by the combustion Of the
workmen's lamps, and the explosions Of
powder, as also by the exhalations of the
workmen's bodies and lungs and the ex-
crementitious deposits Of men and animals.
These gases are mainly ''carburetted
hydrogen gas" "carbonic acid gas, Gear
bonic acid" and ''sulphuretted hydro
gen." One Of these gases, the proto-car-
buretted hydrogen gas light, carburetted
hydrogen gas, ormarsh gas Of the chemists,
the fredamp Of the miners, when mixed
with certain proportions of atmospheric
air, forms a most powerful explosive com
pound, and is one Of the most fatal and
dangerous elements which human enter
prise has ever been called upon to en-
counter.
The chemical composition Of iredamp
consists of one volume Of carbon and two
volumes Of hydrogen, combined by affinity
into one volume Of 6redamp. Its specific
gravety is 55,314, common air being l..

bresthed, although with suffering, when
mixed with twice its volume Of atmospheric
air. II requires Q mixture Of Eve times
its bulk of air to form an explosive COM
pound, and when mixed with fourteen times
its amount Of air it ceases to be explosive,
from nine to ten times as much air as fire
damp forming the most powerful explosive
compound.
This gas exists in q highly compressed
state, and the carbon was undoubtedly
generated with the original processAof trs
decomposition Of the carbonsceous matter
from which the coal is formed, while the
hydrogen was produced from the decom
posed Disture and water. The gas which

vegetable matter is under going decompo
sition, called marsh gas, ID the equivalent
of the firedAmp of coal mines and demon
strates the manner in which the evolution
of the carbon and hydrogen was efEectel
in the progressive change Of the originA
