A Perfect cun Of Coffee.

Coffee is the issue of eastern hos
pitality-the climax of the visit.
One recognizes, on entering, the
sound of the coffee mortar; for in
every properly-regulated household
in the east the coffee is not ground,
but pounded to an impalpable pow
der, having been roasted that morn
ing. And no one who has not drank
it there and thus can presume to
judge of the beverage.
In England we roast it until it is
black, grind it as we would cattle
food, boiling it like malt for beer,
and when we drink the bitter and
unaromatic fluid which remains say
we have taken our coffee. The east
ern coffee drinker knows all the
grades of berry and preparation as
silk merchant knows all the quail
ties of silk: the caff-jee knows that
TO roast it shade beyond the point
where it breaks crisply under the
pestle is to spoil it; and when the
slow pulverizing is done each meas
ure goes into its little copper ibrik,
receives its dose of boiling water,
just one of the tiny cupfuls, rests an
instant on the Goals to restore the
heat lost in the ibrik, and is poured
into the egg-shell cup; and so it
came to us, each cup in a golden
amelled holder. The rule in these
lands seems to be that few things
are worth doing, but those few are
worth doing well, and there is no
waste of life or material by over
haste.

How Ladies Dress in Persia.

She wore a bright red satin skirt
richly embroidered with gold lace;
it was very full and short, barely
reaching to her knees; a loose jack
err of blue velvet, also much trimmed
this time with silver lace; the
sleeves were made of cashmere
shawl buttoned by about TWEEN
ty small buttons. She wore
several necklaces, most of them
very massive, studded with fine tur-
quoises. On her head she wore a
white shawl, with a band of jewels
round her forehead, and at one side
a large pearl star. She had on both
arms at least a dozen bracelets
some handsome ones, some only
bands of colored glass. Her feet
were covered with coarse white
socks; her shoes green leather with
scarlet heels. Some of the ladies
wore bright red trousers, reaching
to the ankle; but this was quite the
exception. They wear a long veil,
reaching from head to foot generally
made of some smart print of muslin.
/ ought to mention that every lady
wore a small leather case around her
neck, containing some earth from
Mecca and verses from the Koran.
The faces of my hostess and friends
were much decorated, the eyebrows
broadeDed and carried across the
nose. Some had small desings tat
tooed OF the cheeks. The hair is
very long and thick, generally died
red; it is worn plated in many thin
tails, twisted with gold thread. The
hands are well shaped, but nails are

Keats a Yankee.

The yankee is a bright sort OF
person usually, but as regards ras-
cality he must now give way to the
Frenchman. In Paris, a few weeks
ago, a rich Hungarian countess con
descended to be present at per-
Torrance in a summer theater, she
having learned that a princess also
would grace it with her presence.
The countess wore two costly dia-
mond rings, which she displayed
with the thought that they really
were more brilliant than the gems
worn by the distinguished leader in
society in the box opposite. Between
acts the countess was visited sud
denly by fellow in gorgeous livery,
who said, in the finest Hungarian,
that his mistress, the princess, beg
ged the loan of one of her rings for
a few moments. The ring was
handed to the turnkey, who pocketed
it and fed. Later in the evening
the countess, having met the prin.
cess, learned that her precious dia-
mond was gone. There was an ex-
citing hullaballo, but the loser be-
fore she retired received assurance
from the police that the jewel could
be recovered. Therefore she was
not surprised to be aroused on the
following morning by messenger
from the police headquarters saying
that the thief had been caught, but
adding that, in order to establish
ownership, she ought to forward the
companion ring for comparison.
The guileless Hungarian complied.
An hour afterward she learned that
the supposed police messenger was
bogus. She had lost both rings.

How Gould's Riches Increase.

The wonderful railway autocrat is
increasing his empire at the rate of
half dozen millions a year, the
latest acquisition being the Elevated
road. He found the stock selling at
an attractive figure and at once pur-
chased a controlling interest. As
soon as this was known quotations
began to advance. Gould now con-
trolls the longest and shortest steam
roads in America-the Union Pacific
on the one hand and the New York
Elevated on the other. Everybody
now predicts that he will bring the
latter out of all its difficulties, but
this is labor which will certainly
test his genius to its extreme
capacity. He has also had ire
mendous task in the New Jersey
Central, whose condition is not alto
gether satisfactory. The quotations
are sustained at least to 96, but the
interest on the first mortgage bonds
is not paid, and such a condition
cannot be called a success.

Where Sunshine Linssrs.

I am thinking Of room in which
what most people calluptidiness was
ablessed element. 1t is filed with
sunshine and the breath of flowers.
There tired man comes home
and throws off overcoat and hat
WITHOUT looking to see what be-
comes Of them. There is a broad
table in the light strewn with pa
pers and magazines, woman's work,
with a litter of rose leaves dropping
over them like central vase. There
is a wide sofa of THE days
of the Georges, fresh covered
in chintz, with ferns and harebells
for patterns, and a tired man goes
down there with a great rnffled pill
low under his shoulders, and opens
parcels and letters; dropping them
on.the foor,as the most natural place
for them. A girls work lies near
dainty basket, heaped with bright
colored crewels and silk. Nothing
in the room is very fine, but every
thing looks spotless and bright.
The chairs have no particular places,
and everybody feels at liberty to
draw the sofa out when it pleases
him. There is no primness about the
place. 1t is lovely home-a place
for indulgence and repose. =

Jersey Cows.

Jersey Island, the place from
which we obtain the fsyorite Jersey
COW, is a small spot Of land. II
squared, it 10 six and thrse-quarter
miles each way. Yet this little is
land has a population of6O0,OO hui
man beings, and has over $4,000
cattle and has had that number. the
last twenty years, for the census OF
1861 gives l2,037. And yet they
export on an average annually, 1000
head. Roughly speaking, on this
island they manage to support one
head Of kline to every acre, while in
England there is only one head to
every ten acres; therefore, in proper
ton to its size, Jersey exports al
many cattle every year as England
contains. II England were to ex-
port cattle at the same rate, her
whole stock would be swept away
in a single year. A good Jersey
will yield half her own weight in
butter in a year-she rarely exceeds
eight hundred pounds, and her aver
age weight at home is about seven
hundred pounds. What little spot
of earth can make better showingS

stock Raising IN the West.

The freedom to pasture cattle on
excellent grazing land, together
with an accessible market, are the
main reasons why at present, stock
farming is particularly profitable.
The first of these conditions is pre-
carious, and is evident that in ten
years there will not be much good
free range left east Of the Missouri
river. When immigration 20 that
extent shall have shut him off from
frse pssturage, the stock man can
sither sell his farm 1T probably foul
times its present value, and move
to Dakota or Montana, or else turn
his attention TO fattening stock on
grain for other parties.
For instance, as practical case
there is a cattle man of Council
Bluffs who is said to own 100000
head of cattle in Idaho. He has
range of sixty square miles OF land
not worth q cent to the acre iooii
agriculture, yet affording excellent
pasture for cattle. He has ten mer
employed at wages varying from
$24 to $40 per month to look after
the stock. These men require 20(
ponies to handle the cattle. Al
overseer is hired at $1,000 year
During the winter, however, foul
men can do all the work required
which is mainly in breaking the ict
in the streams that the cattle may
have water, Streams serve as the
great checks upon the cattle stray
ing away, for they will never go fal
from water. In the spring of the
year the cattle men of the plain;
have grand ground up" Gas it il
called), the stock is picked out by
means of the brand, and those cattle
that are meant for the eastern mar
ket are started for Omaha. They
travel about ten miles a day, anG
generally take the whole season il
the journey from the winter grounC
to the Missouri bottom. At Omahs
the cattle are put on the train anC
shipped normally to Chicago, Blu
really to different points along thu
road, to be handed over to farmer;
for fattening. Mt Stewart deliv
cred over 1900 head to farnerI
last fall, and of these only eigh
were lost during the winter. Tn
parties who receive the cattle agree
to fatten them at the rate of 5 cent
for every extra pound Of weigh
they add to the animals. Thu
seems small at first sight, but wheI
cattle put on $50 extra pounds dur
ing winter, and where two hog
are fed ftom the refuse of each OK
the farmer finds that the result t.
him is equivalent to selling his corr
at 100 per cent. profit. The larg'
cattle-raisers, of course, have thei
inspectors, who travel from farm t.
farm to look after their property
and gather it together in the spring
for shipment to Chicago, wher'
they were either slaughtered o
shipped to Europe. The cattle mel
have great advantage over mer
farmers, in that they are to grea
extent independent of railroads L
they are badly treated by one cor
poration, they have simple rsmed,

THIRD PRIZE.
Author Of Robinson Cruises.

Daniel DeFoe wrote his famous
Crusoe in 17I9, by far the most
popular of all his works. Its sue
cess was immediate, and the pub
Usher who had accepted it after all
others refused, is said to have cleared
EIOOO by its publication, a sum
that was considerable in those days.
De Foe was born in London in 1861,
the son of a butcher named James
Foe, and our author did not add the
the prefix "De" to the family name
until he reached manhood. At the
age of twenty one he began his ca
reer as author by writing a pamph-
let which contained structures on the
clergy of that day, followed in q
year by another phamhplet, and in
1856 he took part in the rebellion Of
the Duke of Monmouth, but escaped
punishment, and later he engaged
in trade but misfortune moved him
to abandon it. His satirical poem,
''The True-bQrn Englishman," writ
ten in vindication of King William
and in reply to a poem in which he
had been attacked, had wonderful
success, $4,000 pirated copies being
sold on.the streets of London. He
was prosecuted for publication and
found guilty, pilloried, fined and
imprisoned. He published various
works, and led quite peculiar life
for some time, until Robinson
Crusoe" appeared. De Foes fcti-
tious narratives are characterized by
an unparalleled appearance OF
truth. Alexander Selkirk lived in
solitude on the Island of Juandez
for four years from 170S, and it was
his story which suggested to DeFoe
| his CrusOe.

The emigration reports show some
curious facts. 1t is rather surpris-
ing that out of the half million
strangers that came TO our shores
last year only forty-six were lawyers.
Clergymen are rather more numer-
Gus, and during the year 2e9 arrived
seventy of them from England, and
the same number from Ireland. OF
musicians there were 399, and
strange to say, only forty-two of
them came from Italy; but whether
the bureau classed hand-organs un
der the head of musical instruments
is not known. There were oil
teachers, So sculptors, Z reporters,
159 artists, AZ editors, p dentists,
SO architects, and chiropodists.
From the large number of bakers
on the list it is presumed that they
must have heard Of the magnificent
wheat fields of Dakota and other
places, and longed to lend hand in
turning the golden grain into
bread. The re were landed 1877
bakers during the year, and of that
number 734 came from Germany.
There were 1,13S butchers, 1874
cabinet-makers, 2,033 masons, 2,134
tailors, 1,474 weavers, 5,0SS miners,
105,012 laborers.
