The COLUMBIAN Printing Office is now
the best equipped of any establishment in
Northeastern Pennsylvania, outside of
Scranton, Wilkesbarrc and Williamsport.
For years it has been ahead of all others
in the county in its facilities, and jobbing
patronage, being the only office that pro-
PEELED its job presses by water power, the
others using foot power. Notwithstanding
this, the business has grown TO such pro-
portions, that it became necessary to ln-
crease our facilities, and we now have a
Campbell Book and job press in operation
which is capable of turning out great
deal of work In a short time. A new
stereotyping outfit, purchased in Kansas
City, Mo. has also been added to our ma
chinery, which enables us to duplicate
forms, so that books, circulars and other
similar work can be turned out at prices
fully as low as can be done in the cities.
Our outfit now consists Of six printing
presses, and there are twice as many men
engaged in doing our work as in any other
office in the county. All kinds of printing,
no matter what, can be obtained here, at
the very lowest prices, and on the latest
improved machinery. Call in and see 1T.

To start conversation;
She absent mindedly replied,
And showed no animation.

OUR COFFEE RESOURCES.
1t Comes From and In What
Quantities.


The United States Is the greatest
consumer Of coffee in the world. More
is required for our consumption than
for the consumption of all the inhabit-
ants of Austria-Hungary, France.
Germany and the United Kingdom
combined. The total imports in 1887
were 5z6, 100, 10 pounds, an average of
over nine pounds Of coffee per inhabit-
ant. Two countries of Europe. the
Netherlands and Belgium, show a larger
consumption per capita than this, the
former of twenty pounds and the latter
OF ten pounds. This is eXplainable by
the ,circum stance that the consumption
here shown is more apparent than real,
and the figures given do not really in
dictate the local consumption, but in
clude imports of coffee in transit which
are consumed i3 other countries. The
largest coffee markets of Europe are
situated in the countries mentioned.
These and other facts regarding coffee
supply and consumption are presented
in the October volume Of consular re-
ports issued by the state department at
Washington.
The bulk of the cUffee consumed in
the United States is obtained from
American sources. A little over 4 per
cent. comes from the Dutch East Indies
and the Netherlands. Brazil is by far
the most important single shipper of
coffee to this country. The following
table gives the aggregate quantity and
value of the imports in the fiscal year
1887, the countries from which export
ed and the percentage Of quantity
furnished by each OF the countries
named and the approximate price per
pound of the coffee exported:
