to prevent interference on the part OF
the strikers if the company should pro-
coed to run cars. Policemen we're held

stables or below Grand street, and to
keep up communications between these
two points to the greatest practicable ex-
tent. 1t has been decided to run on
many cars as they can get drivers for
between the stables at Sixty-fifth street
and Broom street, beginning at 10
this morning.

The Simple Method Adopted by a Yal

The Simple Method Adopted by a Yale
Man to Learn French.
When a young man has taken his
degree of bachelor of arts, it is custom
airy to say of him that he has .'com-
pleted his education" As a rule, and
at the moment, the phrase expresses
very well his own opinion of himself.
But in so far as education consists in
the acquisition Of knowledge, he win
find himself soon undeceived. 1t was
SO with me. In my undergraduate life
l thought rather favorably of my at
tainments. 1t was only after gradua-
ton that / began to be conscious how
little knew. Commencement occurred
in my year on Wednesday, the 10th of
September, and, on the Monday follow
ing | entered upon Office as teacher
in the Hartford grammar school Ian
institution in which, for time out Of
mind, it has been customary to break
in recent Yale graduates for service as
tutors at Yale. As it was my purpose,
simultaneously with this occupation,
to prosecute my reading in physics and
the higher mathematics, l became at
once aware that, with knowledge of
no other modern language but my own
l could not make a step of satisfactory
progress. 1t seemed to me that I had
a new education before me, in which
must begin at the beginning. took
up first the French language, and,
without a teacher, by dint of hard study
and resolute perseverance, l fixed in my
memory all the pronouns, connectives
and irregular verbs contained in the
tables of Levizac (the gremmar then in
vogue), after which l learned to read
rapidly. would not venture to claim

MEXICAN COFFEE.
Methods of Cultivation Adopted by the
Hidalgo Planters.

Hidalgo Planters.
Don Ildefonso Sanchez has many
broad acres and millions of coffee trees,
but he tells us that eight acres is
enough for coffee grove, all that one
person can properly attend to, and that
it will yield good income. Plenty OF
the best land may be bought in this
section for ten dollars per acre-s
strong. clayey loan, with heavy top
deposit of vegetable mold-very rich.
easily cleared and retaining its fertility
long time. Plants from six months
to g. year old are set out in rows eight
or ten feet wide and about six feet
apart in the row. If one is in haste to
obtain other returns while his principal
crop is growing, he may plant corn or
tobacco between the bushes; but it will
be found far better sin the long run"
to merely keep the weeds down be-
tween the coffee and bananas, and to
enrich rather than exhaust the soil.
Twenty-Five pounds of coffee per an
mum to single tree is considered a
good yield. The gathered berries are
dried in the sun, on straw mats or
hoors of stone or plaster. They are
then separated and hulled by being
put through two mills, and the ancient
process of pounding them in mortar
is still in vogue. The Vera Cruz coffee
trade is largely in the hands of New
Orleans spectators, who pay on the
spot from eight to twelve dollars per
one hundred pounds. Says the emil
nent author, Fred Ober: II have con-
sidered well all the various enterprises,
industrial and agricultural, possible in
AMexico. and have come to the conclu-
sion that il one must come out here
and labor--if he feels a decided cali
to till the soilAold Mother Earth will
be about as generous to him in coffee
culture as in any thing else. What
ever one embarks in, he must wait some
years to see his money come back. If
he chooses the raising of cattle, he
must wait for them to grow for at least
hve years. and meanwhile run the risk
OF their dying or being stolen; and be-
sides. these can only increase in GER
tain slow proportion. With corn, wheat
or barley, you must have hundreds OF
acres, must prepare the land carefully,
and hoe andweed it several times every
season; then, after the crop is cut and
stacked. there is your land again, bar
rem and exposed as before, and you
must go through the same process over
and over. With coffee you plant yeur
land once, and that suffices for several
years.-MeIico Cor. Boston Transcript.
