A Curious Calculation.

A gentleman who had leisure rainy
hour the other afternoon was led, while
considering the wear to which watch
is subjected to go into calculation of
the distance the secondhand travels in
year. The result, which nobody
would guess, is this: The distance is
240 feet a day, and nearly seventeen
miles year; in exact figures, sixteen
miles 1S9 rods and eighteen inches
not counting the extra quarter of day,
which should be counted, and which
adds sixty feet The watch is of the
ordinary size of Swiss pocket watch
the second dial being five-eighths Of an
inch in diameter. The sum is a simple
and easy one, which anybody can figure
out who chooses to give few minutes
TO it.-Hartford Times.

fore his term expires
when does he go outy said the Post.
Next March," said SiaS, sorrowfully.

On u Coffee Plantation.

Coffee culture Is very interesting, and the
growing crop is very beautiful. The trees at
maturity are from five to eight feet high; they
are well shaped and bushy, with glossy dark
foliage, and planted eight or nine feet apart.
The flowers are in clusters at the root of the
leaves and are small, but pure white and very
fragrant The fruit has rich color and re-
sembles a small cherry or a large cranberry
it grows in clusters close to the branches, and
when it becomes a deep red, Is ripe and ready
to be gathered. The trees are raised from seed
and do not begin to yield until the third year
In Central America they bear well for twelve
or fiji teen years, although in exceptional cases
trees twenty years old will Yield an abundance
of fruit. The tree is particularly beautiful
when IN full bloom or when laden with ripe
fruit.
The process of preparing coffee for market
is as follows: The ripe berries when picked are
first put through machine called the "despulp-
ador" which removes the pulp; the coffee
grains, of which there are two in each berry,
are still covered with Il sort of glutlnous sub
stance which adheres to the bean they are now
spread out on large "patois" made especially
for the purpose, and left there, being occasion
ally tossed about and turned over with wooden
shovels until they are perfectly dry. They are
then gathered up and put into the "rctrila," a
circular through which a heavy wooden
wheel, shod with steel, is made to revoKc, so
as to thoroughly break the husk without crush
ing the bean. The chaff is separated from the
grain by means of tanning mill and the cot
fee is now thoroughly dry and clean. After
this 1t is the custom of some planters to have
itspread out on long tables, and carefully pick
ed over by the Indian women and children, all
the beans being thrown out. 1t only remains
then to have it put into bags weighed and
marked before it is ready for shipment to the
port. On some of the larger plantations this
process is greatly simpitied, with considerable
saving in time and labor, by the use OF i'm
proved machinery for drying and cleaning

somE ONES SERVANT GIRL.

She stood there leaning YEARLY
Against the window frame,
Her face was patient, sad and sweet,
Her garments coarse and plain.
WHO is she, pray" asked a friend.
The red lips gave curl
AReally, ! do MT know her name,
She ;, some ones servant girl
Again saw her on the street,
With burden trudge along;
Her face was sweet and patient still,
Amid the jostling throng,
Slowly but checrfully She moved,
Guarding with watclful care
\ market basket much too large
For her slight arms TO bear.
4 man: d thought him gentleman,
Went pushing rudcly by,
Sweeping the basket from her hands,
Yet turning not his eye;
For there was no necessity
Amid the busy whirl,
For him to be gentleman
For some ones servant girl.
Ali well it is that God above
Looks in upon the heart,
And never judges anyone
BY just the outer part;
For if the soul be pure and good,
He will not mind the rest,
Nor question what the garments were
In which the form was dressed.
And many a man and woman fair,
By fortune reared and fed,
Who will not mingle here below
With those who earn their bread,
When they have passed away from life,
Beyond the gates of pearl,
VIII meet before their fathers throne
With many servant girl.
