How Coffee is Grown.

The culture of coffee is the chief in
dustry of Venezuela, and day lately
spent at San Bernardino. large coffee
estate, gave me 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 deli
cate tree and cannot stand the direct
rays of the sun. Really, there is no tree
at all, only scraggy bush eight or ten
feet high, looking much like venerable
lilac. Early in March they are white
with blossoms, pretty star shaped posies
with faint, delicious perfume.
The plants grow only from seed, which
is planted just before the rainy season,
ninety trees to the acre. In about five
years yield may be counted upon, and
thenceforth for an average of thirty.
There is gathered from each tree some
eight or 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 to drink.
They burn it jet black in open pans, serve
it as strong as lye and call it good.
Aroma it has none and presume that
the delicate flavor of an American cup
of Java would be utterly unappreciated.

Eskimo SorCerers and COniurers.

The Eskimo calls the medicine men
angekoks, which is wise men. The In
dams, like other people, are subjected to
the ills of body and mind and are, there
fore, dependent upon medical protection
to help them in the hours of pain. Blind
ness, arising from the smoke of the
lodges, uncleanliness, the habitual use of
paint, and hereditary diseases are very
prevalent amclg the tribe. Sitting in a
lodge a short time ago with twelve per-
sons, a missionary named Rev. John
Mclean, B. A., counted no less than five
blind individuals. There are numerous
cases of scrofula, consumption. rheuma-
tism, immoral diseases, bronchitis, etc.
The medicine men are the priests and
doctors of the camp, uniting religion and
medicine in their practice. Generally
there are grades of distinction, the lower
resorting to the use of herbs and other
medicines only, the higher relying upon
supernatural influences to aid them with
the dispensing of their materia medica.
Shrewd and intelligent, they are revered
by the occupants of the lodges and be-
come Instructors of the youth and the
guardians of the sacred legends. Occa-
sionally medicine women are found. gen.
orally aged persons, who become famous
through the numerous cures wrought by
their skill. Medicine" has two fold
meaning, the one referring to the charms
and incantations, the supernatural part
of the work and the other to the use of
physic, the natural part.-St. Paul Globe.

Origin of EARRINGS.

By the way, talking Of earrings, puts
me in mind of an eastern legend which |
heard short time ago about their origin.
When Hagar ran away to escape the
wrath of Abram S wife, so the story goes,
Sarai vowed that if her handmade ever
returned she would cause her to be mu-
tilated, thinking thus to destroy her
beauty and prevent her causing any fur
Their domestic infelicity. Time, however,
had the effect of SO cooling Sarai's wrath
that when Hagar came back and pleaded
with her she decided to forego her VEN
geance and restored her eX-handmaid to
favor. But an oath was not thing to
be trifled with, and as Sarai had solemnly
vowed to mutilate Hagar she was in
quandary to know how to do this with
out injuring her or marring her fair face.
Finally she hit upon the expedient of
piercing a small hole in each of Hagar's
ears, and it is said that Abram, to offset
the pretty landmarks punishment, pre-
sented 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.

Moral Teaching in Schools.

One very good plan is something like
the following: From two to four pupils
are selected, and it is made the duty of
each to look up ard copy short moral
sentiment or maxim to be read at the
opening of the school in the morning.
Another set is selected to present similar
maXims the next day, and in this way
all the pupils are selected in turn. When
the pupil has read or repeated his senti-
ment to the school it is illustrated or
commented upon by the teacher till the
meaning is not only clear but well i'm
pressed. After the reading of the senti-
ments they are copied on the black board,
where they remain all day. and each
pupil in the room copies them into a
blank book After the first day the
teacher calls upon volunteers to repeat
the sentiments given on preceding days.
Five or six sentiments may be called up
in review each day.
Some pupils, not much accustomed to
general reading, may find it difficult to
look up new sentiments; but let it be
understood that if a new one cannot be
found an old one will be accepted. Under
judicious management there will be no
trouble here. Children do not like to be
parrots, repeating the words of their
mates; and when review sentiments are
presented they will be quite sure to be
such as deserve repetition.-Mary f..
Beedy in The Century.

"Out of $50, 900 dozen gloves imported
last year from France and Germany, only
about 100, 900 were genuine kid. " said
well known Broadway dealer in gloves.
AN expert, however, can readily tell
the skin of kid by the veins which run
through it on the unfinished side. In
preparing skins for the glove manufact-
urers remarkable fact has been discov-
cred which science has not been able to
explain. The first process is to soak
them in lime water. to take off the hair.
This takes from ten to fifteen days, ac-
cording to the nature of the skin. Lo-
cality is the chief thing to 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
a preparation of bran water. and shaken
violently to take out the grease. This is
called the fermentation of the 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
brush and the hue fixed with am
monia. In the case of light colored
gloves" continued the dealer, 1.-The kid

in this country are of domestic manu-
facture. They are made in Gloversville
and Johnstown, in this state. Fully

this industry in this locality. Almost

gagged in the manufacture of gloves. The
skins are cut up and distributed among

Why Time Passes So swiftly.

John belongs to a race whose members
for centuries have enjoyed the proud dis
tinction of being permitted to speak
twice, but that is privilege which John
has never yet attempted to avail himself
of. The other day he worked so steadily
that he too no note of the flight of time
and the closing hour arrived before he
was able to realize that the afternoon
was half gone. "Well, well, well, " said
the old man, in bewildered sort of
fashion, sit must be true, as I've heard,
that the days grow shorter as a man
grows older. l can't understand how it
is that hours slip by SO fast" He stood
for a moment in silent and almost mourn

idea slowly diffused itself over his broad,
honest face. That's it," he said, still

Among the Albanians exist bitter feuds
that have been handed down from gener-
alton to generation, and when men meet
of those two families there is bound to be a
fight that will last until one or the other
is dead or disabled, and these feuds often
have their rise in the quarre)s of little
children. or women over the water foun-
tain. They have a code Of unwritten
laws, which govern their intercourse
with each other when enemies, and they
never deviate under any provocation. If
their worst enemy goes into a tavern,
cabaret or cafe, and sits down beside an
other man, they regard him as under the
protection of that man. and in their eyes
it would he making him commit an I'M
pardonable breach of hospitality to attack
one under his protection. Also, if they hap
pen by any means to touch the hand of the
man they wish to kill he is henceforth a
friend instead of an enemy, and if ever
you or yours have eaten in company with
an enemy he is obliged to forget his
enmity and be friend thenceforward,
and being friends among the Albanians
means being more than brothers.
An Albanian will never stab man in
the back nor shoot from an ambush. If
he cannot fight fair and square. he
doesn't want to fight. He will not leave
a sick or suffering animal by the road
side; he will pick up a crust of bread
wherever he sees it, and pray for the
wicked person who made light of such a
perfect gift, and placing it up on some
high place he will deal tenderly with all
weaker than he: he will not drink water
standing up. for fear of appearing to
despise that great blessing, and he will

By and by some one will immortalize
the Havana guadano and its swarthy
guadanero in song. There is nothing
fragile or dainty about these little harbor
boats or their boatmen, but no Mediter-
ranean port can show you more pictur-
esque waterside characters than are found
in Havana bay. There are upward of
1900 licensed guadanos. Each boat is
hooded astern to protect from the sun, is
is rugged with a single mast and sail,
painted in all sorts of fantastic colors
and its speed and seaworthiness are some
times marvellous. They are a janglng,
wrangling lot, their owners, the guada-
neros, but peaceable and sunny withal.
They are full of song and wine. and sleep
the year round. Many live in their little
boats. Trey keep alive the legends of
chivalry by murmuring love songs to
everything of the female form; and in
the moonlight upon the harbor the whole
sensuous night pulses to the rhythmic
numbers of their weird guarachas. -
