Production and Consumption Of Tea
and Coffee.

The production of coffee outside of
Brazil Is increasing, and is now estimated
ut about four million bags. Estimates now
! place the product of Brazil ut five and
one-half millions of bags, making total
OF nine and one half millions of BAGS.
while the worlds requirements arc ten
aud onc-half millions of bags. This
leaves Il shortage of one million of baps
OF coffee, each bag weighing one hun
dred and twenty-five pounds. 1t is
claimed on good authority that if Mexico
would pay attention 10 coffee culture she
could produce enough to supply the
world. 1t looks now very much rs though
the famous Barios plantations in Guatc-
na!a will soon supplant the Java coffee.
On the Barios plantations they have per
fcctcd the sorting and curing of colfccs,
which has brought them in great de-
mand. The c0iices are all known by the
names OF the plantations on which they
are grown, and sorted in three grades.

A MAYORS Singular Election.

1t so happened once upon a time that
dispute arose among the burghers of
Limerick, Ireland, us to who should be
Mayor, writes Mary Banim in the Prov
idcncc Journal. One party urged the
claims of their favoritc; others fought
hard for their own selection; fcuds ran.
high and neither side was inclined to
give in; there was no Mayor, no appar-
cnt possibility ofcithcr side being content
with whoever should be chosen from
among the burghcrs.
There seemed no chance of any cleo
ton being made, until at last it was pro-
posed that some one indfferently alike
to all parties should be chosen. The
citizens determined to elect by chance.
and agreed that upon the following day
the principal members of the corporation
should assemble at the foot of Thomond
Bridge and take as their Mayor the
first man who should cross into the town
from Clare.
1t was market morning when the bur
Shcrs took their stand on the bridge and
they were not many minutes there before
poor peasant from Cratloc Hill came
trudging along with a bundle of heather
brooms on his back-an old trade in Ire
land is that of cutting heather of broom
on the mountains and moors, making it
into brooms, the stems bound into han
dies, the soft tufts of purple blossom and
dark green foliage punching out into
brush or ;'broom."
The old broom maker of Cratloe was
known at "Shaun- na.Scoobe," or John
OF the Brooms. Brooms and all, he was
carried off by the Aldermen to the City
Hall, dressed in robes of office and in
stalled as Mayor of Limerick. No chror-
icle has been kept as to how he bore
himself in office, but many time, long
ago, has a Munster nurse told me the
story Of how Shaun M Scoobe not return
ing with the price of the brooms, his
wife set out to look for her old man and
found him at last in the City Hall,
dressed in n scarlet robe, all trimmed
with fur, gold collar around his neck
and the wand of office in his hand.
"Shann, do you know the woman be-
fore you2" she asked in Irish.
"No, woman, do not know you," he
answered; chow could know you when
do not know mysclf?"
And the Vanitee (wife or woman of
the house, went home, and at the end of
the year, it being market day again,
Shaun shouldered his bundle of brooms,
hawkcd them around until they were all
sold, then carried home the money to his
old wife on Cratloe hillside, and his year
of office as Mayor of Limerick town was
counted by the honest couple as only one
of the strange dreams Of their life.

Snakes MS Pets.

MIR. Conklin, rs superintendent of the
Central Park menagerie, is curiously OPP
timistic with regard to reptiles. He not
only shares the biblical sentiment con-
corning the wisdom of the serpent, but
says that it is more docile and easier to
tame than any other member of the brute
creation. He has number of pythons
which arc kept the greater part of tho
time in an improvised box on an upper
floor of the Arsenal, and he visits them
frequently, apparently finding as much
pleasure in gazing upon the dull hues Of
their sinuous folds as if each scale was
fraught with beauty. The largest of the
pythons is a loathsomc creature some ten
feet in length, on which the affcctionate
appellation of "Tom" has been bestowed.
When the keeper lifts Tom from his box,
MIR Conklin goes up to the Kissing mon
ster and strokes him soothingly, much as
he might do to dog or horse. TIE
Superintendent says that young womeS
frequently come to him with the request
that he will allow the keeper to instruct
them in the manner of handling snakes
and that once the first loathing is over
come, these enterprising young women,
rapidly acquire the knowledge they de-
sire. What their object is in gaining it
is not clear, but Mr. Conklin thinks that
it is to gain tho attendant glory, or
that in some cases it is the initial step,
toward becoming professional snake
charmer.--Ne@ York Commercial Adper.
