Picking Coffee,

The coffee berry contains two grains The
ripe berry resembles q large red haw. a
pulp covers the coffee grains, ard this sub
stance has a pleasant. sweet taste.
As there are three fowerings so there are
three gatherings, or pickings, a year. The
coffee year ends June 80 A good days pick
ing is an arroba-thrty-two pounds-to the
hand. Men, women and children can pick
coffee, and thus employment can be given to
the entiro family Oh coffee plantation. The
berries are placed in large baskets and then
in carts, usually drawn by oxen, and trans
ported to the paved yard or inclosure, where
they are spread 10 cure by the sun.
The old fashioned way was to remove the
outer pulp. when dry, by rude machinery,
and then to break the thin, tough membrane
like skin which holds the two grains together
by pounding process. The coffee was then
thrown into the air by negresses, after the
manner Of tho old time winnowing of cereals.
The large coffee plantations have improved
machinery and methods of drying, decorti-
eating and cleaning coffee, but there is still
great room for Improvement, and Yankee in
genuity would find field for devising meth
ods for drying the fresh picked berries uni
fornly, regulating the degree Of moisture in
dry houses and grading the coffee.-New

Both ladies went with me to the room where
they kept the Instruments, and Mrs. Bull
showed them to me, while her daughter kept
up continual fire of comment upon what
her mother was saying. When she got to
the bows Mrs. Bull showed me one which had
been given Ole Bull by the king of Prussia or
some European monarch. 1t was an ebony
bow and in one end were set diamond and
a topaz Mrs. Bull was telling me about the
bow when the young lady, who seems to be
a perfect enfant terrible, interposed, saying:
But you know, mamma, that the real dia-
mond and topaz We're stolen before papadied,
aud thesn are not genuine at all" There was
"a pause, full Of embarrassment to me. for y
