His cousin Kate was astrong. merry,
romping girl, who was good comrade
for him in most Of his expeditions. She
usually met his chatting with good ma

practical jokes. But Kate had ono
weakness; she was afraid Of snakes.
John could never understand how an
innocent littlo striped snake, which
she knew was perfectly harmless, could
put such sensible girl into an agony
of terror. Kate had been argued with
by her father. and reproved by her
mother, and coaxed by her grand
mother. but 1t was all In vain; the
moment she saw one Of the 1.-the, shin.

Now John had no sympathy for

and his love Of teasing tempted him to

she began to be afraid. "It's all put

One day, however. he had what he

scream which he momcntly expected.
Kate had not yet returned from school,
but she presently came In, flushed and
nervous from an exciting and busy
day. She ran directly up to her own

COFFEE IN ENGLAND.
Tho Remarkable Decrease In Its Coo

Tho Remarkable Decrease In Its Coz
sumption During Late Tears.
Coffee has for some unknown reason
Of late years lost ground in public es-
timation. Some curious evidence on
this point was given ut meeting held
yesterday at the Commercial Salerooms
Of importers, buyers and brokers con.
nected with the coffee trade to con-
slider the adv stability Of alterations Of
the terms for the sale Of coffee In Lon.
don. In the course Of the discussion
which took place 1t was stated that
since 1860 the consumption Of tea had
"gone ahead" with enormous strides.
and the consu mption Of cocoa had also
very largely increased, while that of
coffee had diminished verv much. The
imports Of coffee, which In 1861 were
$1,000 tons, had fallen OF to II, 900 In
1884. This decrease In tho popularity
Of coffee Is all the more remarkable.
inasmuch Is since the growth Of what
Is known as the Temperance move
ment" there has been an ever-growing
demand for non.alcoholic drinks. some
Of which are. to put 1t mildly. Of a
most nauseous description. Coffee has,
moreover, from q medical point Of
view. certain advantages over tea. As
containing less Of the astringent prin.
ciple; and It not only produces on those
who drink 1t an exhilarating and re-
freshing effect, but Is also credited with
the quality Of diminishing the amount
Of wear and tear or waste Of animal
tissue which proceeds moro or less at
every moment Probably the reason
Why II 10 not appreciated as fully as It
deserves Is because 90 few know how
to prepare II properly for use; whereas
tea can be made into drink without
any complicated apparatus and with
comparatively Little trouhls.-&.
