them properly ventilated. Last night there
were about 60 patients in excess of what the
hospital has room for.

Central Asia, and more particularly
central western Asia, has undergone a
revolution during the past quarter Of a
century. Railroads are being built and
telegraph lines connect all important
towns. Roads are being macadamized
and European costumes and customs are
adopted. Education, especially, is foster
ed where it was unknown; and there are
ten times the schools there were, besides
colleges established by foreigners. Re-
ligious freedom is quite general in the
place of bitter fanaticism; and all classes
are waking up to new intellectual and
moral life. The lower classes look up.
Asia, at the present rate of progress,
will beregenerated during the Twentieth
century to cooperate with Europe and
America. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Consumption Of Coffee.

Coffee is more generally consumed in
Brazil than in any other part of the
world. The coffee fields Of Brazil cover
1900, 900 acres, with S00,000,000 trees,
each tree averaging about one pound per
annum. The industry there employs
100000 hands, The consumption of
coffee in Brazil averages yearly IA pounds
per inhabitant; in Belgium and Holland,
II pounds; in the United States, Z
pounds; in Germany, 5 pounds, and in
Great Britain very little more than half
pound. Britons drink five times us
much tea as coffee, while Americans
drink eight times as much coffee as tea.
Down to 1890 the only source of coffee
supply was Arabia, but the berry is now
cultivated throughout most regions Of
the tropical world. Java and Ceylon are
the principal centers of production after
Brazil, and the total output of the world
has been estimated to amount to not less
than 1000, 100000 pounds.-New York
Telegram.

He Was Too Honest.

said, as he entered Cadillac eating
house yesterday, "but I can't always do

"What did you want?" asked the pro-
prietor.
"You gave me square meal on tick

cents. Ipromised to pay in six weeks,
but am little late."

Perhaps not, as you are big hearted
man, but do and here's your money"
The proprietor pulled in 50 Canadian
bill and flung out the change, rather dis
gusted with the mans honesty. Ten
minutes later, however, this disgust had
changed to admiration. In making
change he took closer look at the bill,
and on the back he found the stamp:

A SNAKE GETS FULL.
And While Very Drunk on Stolen
Whisky Falls an Easy Prey.


A Georgian who recently returned to
Macon, Ga, from Hamilton, Marion
county, Ala, related the following to a
reporter of the Telegraph. Owen Hatch
keeps small grocery store in the
neighborhOod. Mr.. Hatch sells liquor
as we'll as family groceries. Keeping
only small stock of liquor on hand he
keeps most of 1t in jugs. One day last
week two-gallon jug of corn liquor was
left standing on the floor behing the
counter. Mr.. Hatch stepped behind
the counter and was surprised to see a
black snake coiled around the jug with
its head inside. He watched for a NOM
ent, and soon discovered that the snake
was drinking liquor. 1t was not dis
turbed, and after several minutes it
slowly uncoiled itself and attempted To
crawl away, but was too drunk, and
stretched itself On the floor, apparently
asleep, until next day.
Mr.. Hatch examined the jug and
found that the snake had drank more
than quart of liquor. Two days later
the same snake returned, and when 1t
crawled under the counter Mr.. Hatch
watched it. BY coiling itself around
the jug and giving its neck a twist
around the stopper it was able to re-
move the cork, and again thrust its
head inside and began to drink the Ii.
quor. 1t was allowed to drink its fill
again after which it was killed.

".John,s,, Object Lesson.

"There is no trouble in teaching q
Chinaman a new thing, but the teacher
has to be extremely careful in doing so,"
said Mrs. A. L. Lord, prominent temper
ance worker who recently arrived in this
city from California. Il have heard
many amusing stories told as to how
faithfully John carries out instructions,
but I may say the most amusing was
told me by lady with whom I stopped
short time ago. The lady had hired a
Chinaman, intending to make cook of
him. The Celestial was as apt to learn
as any of his brethren, and made him
self very useful. A few days after his
arrival the lady of the house thought
she would learn him how to make cakes,
and that end in view bought few eggs.
The Chinaman watched her every mo-
ton intently. She broke one egg, but it
was bad and she threw it away. The
second was healthy and it went into the
cup. Then the other directions were
carried out, and when the cakes were
baked she set the Chinaman to try his
hand.
1.-THE lady paid no attention to him, and
when done the cakes he baked were as
nice as hers. Every day he baked them
and they were excellent. On one occa-
sion, several weeks after the Chinaman
arrived. the lady entered the kitchen just
as the Chinaman started to make the
cakes. The Chinaman picked up one
egg, broke it, and without the least hest
tation threw it out of the window. Be
fore his mistress could interfere the sec
ond was broke and put in the cup. why
John, why did you throw that first egg
away? 1t was good The Celestial looked
solemnly into her face and said, Misses
do it, And after inquiry she found ht
had been doing that every day for thret
weeks. John was shown the right way
and he never gave any more trouble il
that line. Baltimore News.

Metals In the Sun,

Of tho metals discovered in the sun the
most important are sodium, magnesium,
barium. acalsium, zinc. copper. alumni
mum, nickel, chromium and iron. Many
of the rarer and less known metals would
also appear to be there ii, some abund-
ance, judging by the facility with which
their presence may be detected. Al
though heavier metals, such as platinum
and gold, have not been seen, it by no
means follows that they are absent.
Their weight would prevent them being
easily found by the speetroscope. New

THE MERRY HEART.

The merry heart goes all the day.
Il goes and never tires
Free 70 bestow
Much warmth and GLOW
From out its hidden fires
Though days are long
And nights are drear
And all around it sadness,
The merry heart
With songs Of cheer
Restores the light Of gladness
When other hearts are out Of tune,
And tinged with melancholy
Tired of the strife
And toll Of life
And quick to frown at folly,
The merry heart,
With courage STILL
Goes on, and is not weary
And every day.
In every III,
Sees something bright and CHEEKY.
o rather than a crown Of gold,
And rank and honors great,
Than jewels rare
Beyond compare,
And rich and vast estate,
I'd much prefer
A merry heart
With laughter all a-bubble
That strives its Joy
And hope t. impart,
And sings its way through trouble.
