HOW COFFEE Is RAISED.

Coifeo culture Is very interesting, nnt
tho growing crop is very beautiful. The
trees ut maturity are from five to eight fee
high; they arc well shaped and bushy
with dark green foliage, and planted eigh,
or nine feet apart. The flowers are il
clusters at the root OF tho leaves, and are
small, but pure white and very fragrant.
The fruit has n rich color, md resembles o
snall cherry or n large cranberry it grow
IA clusters, close to the branches, and wher
Il becomes n deep red Is ripo and ready te
be gathered. The trees nre raised from
seed, and do not begin TO yield until the
third year. In Central America they bea,
well for twelve or fifteen years. although,
in exceptional cases, trees twenty years old
will yield an abundance of fruit. The tree
Ia particularly beautiful when in full bloom
or when laden with ripe fruit.
The process OF preparing coffee for mar.
set is Us follows The ripe berries when
picked are at first put through q machine
called the "~dcsplador," which removes the
pulp the coffee grains, of which there ar.
two in each berry, are still covered with o
ort of glutinous substance which adheres
10 the bean; they are now spread out on
large ''patios," made specially for this pur.
pose, and left there. being occasionally
tossed about and turned over with wooden
shovels until they nre perfectly dry. They
arc then gathered up, put into the ere.
tnlia," n circular trough in which a heavy
wooden wheel shod with steel, is made to
evolve, so as to thoroughly break the husk
without crushing the bean. The chat is
separated from the grain by means Of q
tanning mill, aud the coffee is now thor
oughly dry and clean. After this it is the
custom Of some planters to have it spread
on long tables and carefully picked over
by the Indian women and children, all the
bad beans being thrown ont. 1t only remains
then to have it put into bags, weighed and
marked, before il is ready for shipment to
he port. On some Of the larger plantations
his process is greatly simplifed, with CON
saving in time and labor, by the
use OF improved machinery for drying and
cleaning the coffee.

Hon. Roscoe ConkIing.

L. D. Ingersoll in Washington Republican,
am, and always have been, great friend
and admirer of Senator Cohkling. He is
surely the greatest orator now in the Senate.
Not one of our public men has been more ar
IDENTIFY devoted to the Republican party than
he. And yet outside of the State of New
York he does not seem to have any consider
able following. 1t is true that in every'State
in the Union, surely every Northern State, he
has earnest friends among the best workers
and thinkers in the Republican party, but not
where does he seem to have many adherents
among the masses of the people. In this re-
spect he occupies position analogous to that
so long occupied by Daniel Webster in the
old Wing party, who was always believed by
the best thinkers of that organization to be its
greatest and truest representative man, but
who never could come anywhere near Pres
idential nomination. Senator Conkling has
little popularity, on which account ! doubt
the possibility of his ever being Presidential
candidate; but am among those who believe
that if, in politics, the selection of the fittest
were universal rule, he would be the next
President Of tho United States. also be-
liege that in that case we should have an ad-
ministration true to the principles Of progress
and universal liberty, political, civil and com.
mercial, AID which administration would be
btneficent to the country, and great in his
tory. We are not making this sort of Presi-
d.nts so much as we were, and am afraid l
slall not get my candidate as early as $780,

FARM LIFE.

1t is common complaint that the
farm and farm life are not apprrt lated
by our people. We long for the mo.e
elegant pursuits, or the ways nui
fashions of the town. But the iurinrr

Does Machinery Rob the La
bOrer?

The complaint that machinery rObs
the laborer of his only capital is entire
ly unfounded. Machinery never les
sened the amount OF work to be done,
though il has constantly changed the
character of the work. The labOr-sav-
ing machinery employed in agricul-
ture is almost entirely the product OF
the inventions of the past thirty years.
In no part of the world has the intro
duction of such machinery been more
general or more rapid than in the grain
growing States of the West. The re-
suit is shown in the census reports.
During the ten years ending in 1860,
the farm hands of those States increaS-
ed in number more than fifty per cent.
During the next ten, in spite of the
losses of the war, the increase Was
about thirty per cent. During the
same twenty years, the population OF
the country as whole Increased only
81 per cent.
When Walter Hunt invented his
sewing machiue in 1888, his wife pro-
tested that it would throw all the sew
ing women out Of employment, and
persuaded him to suppress it. Howe's
and Singers and no end of other ma
chimes have come since then, and yet
there is work for women to do. Not
withstanding the thousands OF family
machines in use, the number of per-
sons earning living with the sewing
machine in this Country Is to-day
much greater in proportion to the pop
ulation than was the number of tailors
and sewing women before the inven'
ton of the machine, which a recent
pretended labor lover has classeG with
the steam engine as one of the two
worst evils that ever befell mankind.
In noting its influence upon labor, we
must not forget the q, 900 or more me-
chanics employed in our sewing ma.

others engaged in mining and making
the iron, cutting and saving the lum'

construction of sewing machines. and
In transporting and selling the finished

How Artificial Ice is Manufac-
tured.
st. Louis Post.

One of the greatest luXuries of mod
ern times, which has become almost
q necessity of human life, is ice, and
the question of its production and
manufacture cannot fail to be of deep
interest TO the thirsty millions who an
nually consume such Immense quanti-
ties Of this commodity.
Until late years nature has held a
monopoly in the production OF ice,
but owing to the uncertainty of the
crop, and the difficulty of transporta-
tion, that inventive animal, man, has
set to work to improve upon this
somewhat slow and ld-fashioned plan,
and the result is seen in variety of
machines for the manufacture OF ice.
The general principle upon which
all machines of this kind are based Is
that heat may be utilized to produce
power, of which the steam engine Is an
illustra ion; even so power may be
utilized for the abstraction of heat, that
is for the production OF cold, and as the
steam engine gives cheap source Of
power, the only question is about the

An AuriferOus Meteor.

A remarkable specimen of meteoric iron,
more like steel, has been brought in here from
the Mohave desert. 1t weighs about a pound,
and carries free gold, of which nearly dol
lar appears on its surface. 1t is not magnetic,
and has successfully resisted simple and COM
pound baths of acid. In this respect it re-
sembles specular iron, but in no other. One
of its surfaces shows fracture that reveals a
crystalline structure, the color of which is a
steel gray, tinged with yellow. 1t has defied

1t is thus seen that with 277, 1924 votes the
Republicans elect nine Congressman; with
266, ,S65 votes the Democrats elect eleven, and
with 40, 152 the Nationals, Temperance, and
Socialists elect not one. Taking another view
OF it, the Democrats, with mi nority Of the
popular vote, elect eleven Congressman, and
the Republicans, with plurality, elect only
nine. Had the apportionment law remained
unchanged-in other words, had the State
been apportined according to voting population
the Republicans would have had thirteen
Congressman and the Democrats seven In
any way we look at it, therefore, the Repub-
licans gained largely upon the Democrats as
compared with 1877, and Ohio is now a de-

frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss Of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.

pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part There is
generally a considerable loss of men,

A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
