COFFEE

If there is any luxury more generally
appreciated than another,lt is GOOD COZ
FEE. Few persons can roast coffee we'll,
and to meet this want Messrs. Bell, Con-
rad & Co., Chicago, have imported and
rested a coffee called
ANKOR1A,
which is the nearest approach to Java Of
any heretofore offered to consumers. It
is not glazed is brittle, and will grind
easily. Your grocer has the goods for
sale, as also the famous
PEERLESS BAKING POWDER
made by the same firm. Ask him fol
them and obtain the best goods in the
world.

Is his speech before the Vermont Green
back State Convention General Horace
Bnney Sargent talked about Government
bonds that cost but forty cents on dollar.
and the assertion is frequently made that
this was the cost of bonds now held by 'the
bloated bOndholders." A a matter Of fact,
H very small proportion of the Government
bonds sold during the war were disposed Of
during the short period when forty dollars
IN gold would buy Government bond for
ore Kindred dollars During the eight or
nine months when a gold dollar was worth
two dollars, or upwards, q large proportion
OF the bond sold were the seven and three
tenths bonds. which were called in several
years ago. A large proportion of the six
per cent bonds issued during that time have
also been called IN and cancelled. and very
few bonds can be found In Boston, to-day,
that cost their holders less than fifty per cent
OF their par value in geld, and those that
cot in gtli less than seventy-bve cents on
II dollar are not plenty. And these are out
only because the Government cannot call
