Coffee.

The cultivation Of the coffee tree In
Mexico has never received its merited
attention. Neither has the Mexican berry
been pushed In foreign markets 70 ar to
make its merits known and appreciated.
la view Of these f'cts, the increase Of the
expectation OF Mexican coffee from sG77 in
1860 to 81, 600 600 annually at present is
wonderful. The United States Is q natural
market for Me1ico's coffee, and with the
trsnscontnentHl railroads completed, giving
quick and cheap transportation, Mexico
should control the markets OF the north.
Indications already point in this direc-
ton. Owing. to the excessive export
tax levied on Brazilian coffee, amounting
In one year to. 81 900, coo Brazil IL gradually
losing the coffee trade OF the United States.
Brazil Is now realizing the suicidal policy
of her act by which in the past five years
the importation OF Mexican coffee into the
United States has increased $50 per cent,
Central America so per cent, and Venezu.
ella about ~ per cent. Her folly has only
fastened the natural law OF trade, and Mex
leo is fast coming to tho front as source
from which the United States shall draw
her coffee supply.

Christmas in Canada.

Christmas and New Years day are the cuI-
mination, though not the end, Of Canadian
winter life Even the beggars are then most
active and joyous in this charitable community.
The housewives are busy for some days cooking
meats and pastry and decorating their houses
and secluded Canada joins the rest Of the world
for once in this season OF rejoicing. on Christ
mas Eve, however, the houses are so dark and
still that you wonder ii the festival has been
forgotten. In the converts the children are
dreaming OF Bethlehem and the worship of the
shepherds They hear chorus of angels chant
ing as they come near and nearer; celestial
light nils the world; when, suddenly opening
their eyes, they find the nuns lighting the
lamps, and the choir in the dormitory, chant
ing Christmas carol to awaken them for mid
night mass. All over the parish, throughout
the people are issuing now from their palaces
or their cabins into the night, and vending
their way TO the temples. The bells peal ont
at midnight, the arched windows glow, and
soon the entire parish is seen kneeling under
the great dome.
