Daniel Wehster,s Humor.

Daniel Webster was grim humorist.
On one occasion, when aSenator who was
leering another for some pedantry said.
"The honorable gentleman may proceed
to quote from 9Crabbe's synonyms. ;
from Walker and Webster" "Not
from Walker and Webster" exclaimed
the Senator from Massachusetts,, "for
the authorities may disagree At an
other time, when he was speaking on the
New York Fire bill, the Senate clock be-
gan suddenly to strike, and, after it had
struck continuously for about fourteen
or fifteen times, Mr.. Webster stopped
and said to the presiding officer, "That
clock Is out IF order, sir have the
floor" The occupant of the chair
looked rebukingly at the refractory time
piece, but in defiance of the officers and
rules of the house it struck about forty
before the Sergeant-at-Arms could stop
it; Mr.. Webster standing silent, while
every one else was laughing.
On another occasion, while Mr.. Web
ster was addressing the Senate in pre-
senting a memorial, a clerieal-looking
person III one of The galleries arose and
shouted, My friends, the country is on
the brink OF destruction Be sure that

Coffee.

We Americans drink a good deal OF
coffee. Some of it is atrociously bad
coffee, and great deal Of it is not coffee
at all. A certain noted man, who was
very fond Of cup of genuine coffee, is
said to have stopped at country inn
and said to the proprietor, ''Have you
any chicory?' eyes, SIR "Bring it
to me-" A can was brought to him. els
this all you have in the house?" 81
have one more can only" swell, bring
that" It was brought. "Now," said
the noted man, placing the cans OF
chicory in his pocket, ago and make
me cup of coffee" IF the American
people could place in its pocket all base
limitations of the fragrant berry, a cup
OF good coffee would not be rarity. A
good deal of our coffee comes from Bra
I'll. Last year we imported from that
country about 422, 100000 pounds of
coffee. The annual consumption of
Mocha, Java and Rio is valued at over
$10O,0OO,OO0. Put that in your cup and
stir it. The best Mocha comes from the
province of Remen, in Arabia. All 9TH
ers. as photographers would say, are hol-
low Mechanics. Java coffee comes from
Java, Sumatra and Borneo. The roast
ing of coffee is business by itself, and
the modern coffee-roaster browns ton
and half of coffee in forty-fve minutes.
Men who work at the coffee roasting
trade never drink coffee. They have
enough Of the aroma at their regular
business. detroit Free Press.

The Schoolmaster in Germany.

The reports of our school inspectors
often reveal very remarkable state of
things In QUIZ schools and among our
teachers, but, thank Heaven, they show
nothing so bad as the report of an ex-
animation Of German candidates for the
schoolmaster's certificate, which we have
just read. One candidate, on being
asked what countryman Jesus was, re-
piled that he was an Italian. Another,
on being shown stuffed squirrel and
