Now that beautiful leavea plants are
So justly popular and in such constant
request for drawing room decoration
it is surprising that the coffee-tree or

use Of see IL now and then in
nurserymen's greenhouses, but Sc dom

evergreen shrubs more ornamental and
very few that are better adapted for

average temperature of 20 deg, in
summer and GO deg. in winter will be
found quite sufficient aud if the plant
is put in warm corner in the room
over the kitchen fire ON frosty nights,
no harm will come to it. The best soil
for planting is a mixture of peat and
loan. The drainage must be thorough,
the supply of water abundant, and the
roots must have plenty of room. The
coffee tree in a young state is well
worth growing for Its bright green
glossy leaves, fragrant, easamine-like
white blossoms, and berries changing
from green to red. 1t is said that Megal-
ledin, learned Mufti of Alden, became
acquainted with it during one Of his
African journeys. He took back some
berries with him to Yemen. and rec
commended the beverage to his friends
as an e-cellent method Of keeping
awake at prayers. It's use gradually
spread to the Nile, Syria, Asia Minor
and Turkey. Coffee was first sold in
Constantinople in 1864.
1t was introduced into Europe by
the Dutch in 1910, but did not reach
this country till 1640. Arab coffee is
chiefly grown in Yemen, where it was
FIRST planted in the neiehborhood of
Alden and Mocha. The plantations are
usually made half way up the hills.
The berries are not gathered, but
cloths are spread under the trees for
the fruit to fall upon when ripe. The
coffee is mostly consumed in the coun-
try, the home demand being so great.
There Is not much exported, and that
not the best A good deal of what goes
in the trade by the name of Mocha

Indies.

ants, each about as big and round as

filled with honey or grape-sugar, much
appreciated by the ingenious Mexican
youth as an excellent substitute for
coffee They hold the ant by its head
and suck out the honey, with which
its back parts are greatly distended,
and throw away the empty body. Wo-

How Much Lumber Have We Got.

The stock of pine yet standing in
Michigan can produce 40,0o0,00 600
feet Of lumber, if cut for that purpose.
In eight years, therefore, to the late
average production of the state, the
pine will have been used up. But such
predictions have been made for years
past. In 1867, the standing pine of
Michigan was estimated to be 90, 49,
900, coo feet and it was predicted that
it would be all gone in seventeen years.
But since then the Saginaw Valley
alone has produced about 1900. co.,
600 feet, and will continue to cus in
the neighborhood Of 600, coo, 600 feet

come. As pine grows. seareer. it will
make more lumber than when it was
plenty. But in predicting the end Of
pine numbering, a person must take
into account the timber which is yet
standing in Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Canada and the South. And it will be
many years before it even grows scarce,
when we estimate the whole Yet an
end must come to the forests that the
white race found in this country.
Doubtless bine forests of the second
growth will be raised for future use,
but the present magnificent forests will
disappear. 1t has been estimated that
the demand for lumber in this country
from 1850 to 1880 would require 210,-
600, 600, 900 feet, and one can readily
see that at that rate the stock must
soon be gone. There is only about 55,-

ON FIRE.
A Five Story Brick Structure a Mass OF
Flames.

BosroN, Sept. IS.
Shortly before o'clock tonight fire broke
out in the mandatory of the Smith Amer-
can Organ Co., at the corner of Montgomery
and Clarendon streets.
The building is a five story brick structure
with frontage of about l75 feet on Mont.
gomery street, with an ell running back some
rs feet on Clarendon street. The first floor
was occupied by the warerooms and office,
and the second as tunning and mill room.
The third floor, on which the fire originated,
was known as an auction room. The fourth
was used as trimming room and on the fifth
floor was the vanishing department, in which
was stored large quantities of varnish. The
fire spread to the fourth and fifth stories very
rapidly.
Three alarms were sounded in quick sue
cesson and numerous streams were brought
to bear on the fire and the flames upon the
third floor were soon subdued In the mean
time, however, the fire had reached the var
nish and soon the upper floor was a mass OF
flames, burning with the greatest ferceness
in the ell.
At this time of writing, g 45 p. NJ } the
fire is still burning fercelv There is no
danger of the fire communicating vi it'll the
surrounding buildings, the situation of the
burning building being most favorable to the
firemen. The loss will probably be heavy.
About 8 80 the upper floor fell and half an
hour later the fire was practically under con
troll. The stock on the fourth and fifth floors
was entirely destroyed, while that upon the
third floor was badly damaged by fire and
smoke. The loss to the stock on the first
and second floors and basement will be en-
tirely by water. The company carried a
heavy stock and it is thought that the entire
loss may reach 100000.

United States Consul Tszchuck of Vera

however, as many families and single per-
sons who were subject to the disease had
been absent from the city since the outbreak
there was a scarcity of material for attacks OF
of the epidemic.
Members of the Knights of Labor state
that the subject of boycotting the Chinese
laundries has not been mentioned in their
meetings. Its further said that a boycott
could not be issued against these laundries
on the plea OF cheap labor, as their prices
were generally higher than those of washer
women. The Craftman, labor paper pub
lished in this District will, in its tomorrow g
edition, contain an editorial on this subject
which concludes as follows; when the
edict is put forth to boycott the Chinese, we
believe the Chinese will go. But at present
this can hardly be done on the plea of cheap
labor, as applied to the laundry business, nor
any fault OF inferior workmanship"

contest all the candidates they have in the
field, and in return accept a blank in the re-
publican platform, advocating the submission
of a prohibitory amendment to the vote of the
people. These terms the prohibitionists would
not accept unless accompanied by the assur-
apce that their candidates already nominated

When they reached the barge the sea was

who went out in the life boat came ashore
