Lorenzo de Medici was very sick, and
some of his superstitious friends thought if
they could dissolve a certain number OF
pearles in a cup and then he would drink
them it would cure him of the disease. So
they went around and they gathered up all
the beautiful pearls they could find, and
they Dissolved them in a cup, and the sick
man drank them. Oh, it was an expensive
draught. But L tell you of a more expen-

into its cup the pearl of physical health, the
pearl Of domestic happiness, the pearl of
responsibility, the pearl of Christian hope,
the pearl of an everlasting heaven, and
presses it to the hot lips.

BRAZIL'S COFFEE CROP.
The Recently Emancipated Slaves
Produce a Small Yield.

Some important information was received
on the New York Coffee Exchange respect
ing the situation of the Brazilian coffee crop
Brazilian coffee being the only product dealt
in on the exchange the information at hand
was deemed Of the utmost Importance. The
best informed houses in Rio now say that as
a yield 5, 500, 600 bags is a moderate estimate
The quality of the crop has, in general, not
been good; careful preparation is no longer
profitable, and the differences in price be-
tween the lower and higher grades are now
much greater than for years past. Previous
estimates of the new crop were fixed a.
$500, 600 to 100000 bags, but the sever
drought and excessive heat has reduced tho
probable yield SO much that with the con-
tinued disorganization of labor about 1,5OO,-
600 bags below the regular crop is expected,
which is considered moderate estimate III
one sense as 5, 500, 900 was in another.
The quality of the new crop as shown by
arrivals so far is poor. Washed coffee is very
scarce, and Of Sierra ahaixOn none has been
seen. From July l, 1888, to June 80, 1889,
Rio shipped 9, 343 $50 bags to the United
States, against / $50, 500 in 1SS7-SS, and ,O92.
336 in 1851, and Z, 449 166 in 1SS5-S6. Things
are still in a transition state; it has taken
time for the recently emancipated freedman
to realize that he is free. Many of the ex-
slaves are already reduced to working for
their keep. The condition of these people
will have an important bearing upon the fu-
ture coffee production of Brazil.

A GIGANTIC WOLF-DRIVE.
Wyoming Stockmen and Cowboys
Unite in Hunting Coyotes.


A big wOlf-dr;Te. by several hundred stock
men, cowboys and spOrtsrnen took place
few DAYS ago in Southern Wyoming. The
drive resulted in the determination Of all the
COYOTES and gray wolves in the large district,
and afforded unique sport for the partici-
pants in it, The district swept by the drive
is watered by numerous creeks, along
which are rich stock ranches The country
is hemmed in for its entire length by a range
of limestone cliffs, known as Chalk Bluffs, IN
which are hundreds of small caves and dens.
In these gray wolves and coyotes hide Dur
ing the present season their numbers have
increased largely. and the losses of the stock
men from their constant preying upon young
calves and colts have been excessive.
At daylight from every ranch between
Cheyenne and the Nebraska line, thirty miles
distant, stOckmen and cowboys took the field
against the wolves. They were reinforced
by 200 horsemen from Cheyenne and had as
spectators large number of business men
and ladies' who drove to the starting point.
At O'Clock the long line of riders, under
command of ten captains moved forward.
All the known haunts Of the wolves were
secured by men and dogs. Sinking coyotes
and defiant wolves broke from cover and ran
for the protecting caves of Chalk Bluffs.
Occasionally the hounds turned a wolf to-
ward the riders and brought him to bay.
The expert cowboys would throw their
lariats around the wolf and drag him to
death across the prairie The drive lasted
until noon. At points of rendezvous in the
valley skirted by the bluffs were barbecued
steers and coffee for the hunters. The after
noon was devoted to smoking out the wolf
dens and killing their occupants. Where
flames and smoke failed to drive out the
wolves charges of dynamite were exploded,
tumbling down portions of the cliffs and
burving the wolves in the ruins.
Twelve big wolves were smoked from the
first cavern assaulted and all were killed as
they ran.
Dogs drew seven heavy fellows from the
second and thirteen died in den rather
than face the hunters. Their brushes were
secured by blowing up the cave with giant
powder
