How Concc l. Grown.

The culture of coffee IS the chief in
dustry of Venezuela and day lately
spent at San Bernardlno. large coffee
estate, gave me a chance TO learn some
thing of the matter. For this culture a
rich. well watered soil is needed, with
plenty OF shade for the coffee Is a deli
cate tree and cannot stand the direct
rays Of the sun. Really, there is no tree
at ali, only a scraggy bush eight or ten
feet high. looking much like venerable
lilac. Early in March they are white
with blossoms, pretty star shaped posie5
with a faint, delicious perfume.
The plants grow only from seed, which
is planted Just before the rainy season,
ninety trees 10 the acre. In about five
years a yield may be counted upon. and
thenceforih for an average Of thirty.
There i, gathered from each tree some
eight OF ten pounds of coffee annually.
Every one raises coffee. Every one talks
coffee. Every one sells coffee, and not a
living cook in Venezuela appears TO know
how to make a decent cup 10 drink.
They burn il Jet black i'll open pans, serve
ii as strong as I've and call it good.
Aroma it has uoae, aud | presume that
the delicate flavor of an American cup
of Java would be utterly unappreciated.
After picking the beans are washed,
hulled and sorted into different qualities,
put up in sacks of 100 pounds and
shipped. Cor. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Origin of Earrings,

BY the way, talking Of earrings, puts
me in mind of an eastern legend which
heard a short time ago about their origin.
When Hagar ran away To escape the
wrath of Abrams wife, SO the story goes,
Sarai vowed that if her handmade ever
returned she would cause her TO be mU
tila,ed, thinking thus to destroy her
beauty and prevent her causing any fur
ther domestic infelicity. Time, however,
had the effect of 50 cooling Sarai's wrath
that when Hagar came back and pleaded
with her she decided 10 foreeo her ven
geancc and restored her ex-handmaid to
favor Bat an oath was not thing to
be- trified with, and as Sarai had solemnly
vowed to mntiIate Hagar she was in a
quandarv to know how to do this with
out injuring her or marripg her fair face.
Finally she hit upon the eXpedient OF
piercing a small hole in each of llagar's
ears, and il is said that Abram, to offset
the pretty landmarks punishment, pre-
scented her with two beautiful jewels TO
suspend from the holes. Her appearance
thus adorned So excited the admiration
Of the other women Of the tribe that the
wearing Of earrings soon became general
among them Jewellers Weekly.

Fnc.s About Kid Gloves.

"Out OF 60, 600 dozen gloves imported
last wear from France and Germany, onl,
about loo. 900 were genuine kid, - said a
well known Broadway dealer in gloves.
An expert. however can readily tell
the skin of kid by the veins which run
through If on the unfinished side. In
preparing skins for the glove manufact-
urcrs a remarkable fact has been discov-
cred which science has not been able to
explain. The first process Is 10 soak
them in lime water, 10 take off the hair
This takes from ten to fifteen days, ac-
cording 10 the nature of the skin. LO-
calty is the cihef thing Ia he considered.
skins from one district drop their hair
sooner than those from another. After
the hair has been removed the skins are
placed in small square vat, filled with
Il preparation of bran water, and shaken
violently TO take ont the grease. This is
called the fermentation Of rhe skin.
"a mixture of eggs, salt and flour Is
next applied The kid is then ready to
receive the color. This is spread on with
a brush and the hue fixed with am
monia tn the case of light colored
gloves" continued the dealer. "the kid
is placed in a large tank filled with the
c0lorng material and trodden upon by
bare legged men in the same manner that
grapes are lTOdden in the process of
making wine Most of the gloves used
in this country are of domestic manu-
facture. They are made in Gloversville
and Jobnstown, in this state. Fully
5000 people derive their living from
this industry in this locality. Almost
every family for miles around is en-
gagged in the manufacture Of gloves. The
skins are cut up and distributed among
the people for sewing in the same man
ner that trousers are sent out 10 people
living in tenements in this city. Glovers-
Vile and the surrounding district is one
of the most prosperous communities IN
the state. There are few poor people to
be found, and the distribution of wealth
is remarkably even Few York Sun.

The first question ssked by the stranger In
Salt Lake City Is this. says a Salt Lake City
letter: ''Do the Mormons still practice polyg-
amy7" They claim that they DO not, but their
asseverations are taken cum grsno sails by the
gentiles there. The Edmunds bill disfranchises
women living in poly eamy and fines the men
$500. with imprisonment for six months. The
women are ''allowed'-compelled would be a
more appropriate term-"to testify against
their husbands" Despite this il 10 extremely

This Is no uncommon occurrence. the attornys
tell me. And, after all. one can scarcely blame
the women for testifying thus If they believe In
the 'divine sanction of polygamy" as taught by
the church. No less celebrated q lawyer than
the late Jere S. Black has said: ''To compel hus-
band and wife to testify against each other il TO
change every rule Of evidence; a contemptuous
defiance OF the great principles which protect
