THE COFFEE HOUSES.

Besides Doing = Good Work They Arc
Profitable.
We have received II letter from our
friend Mr. II. y. Short. honorary secre-
tary of the National Coffee Tavern asSo-
citation, of England, informing US that a
delegation Of prominent coffee house
officials and workers will come to Amer
lea next year to attend the Columbian
exposition. Their trip will be for pleas
ure, but the suggestion is made that an
arrangement might be effected whereby
the friends of the coffee house move
ment in America could take advantage
of the presence Of these gentlemen 10
further the interests of the good cause.
Among those who will probably form
the delegation are Charles &. Smith, sec
rotary, Birmingham Coffee House cent
pany; Joseph Bentley, secretary and
general manager, Bradford Coffee Tav-
ern company; George p. Johnston, pro
prietor Johnston's Cocoa Rooms. London;
Frank Everill. secretary and general
manager Worcester County and City
Coffee Tavern company; John Pearce,
managing director Pcarce's Dining
Rooms, limited; Samuel z. Short, gen
eral manager Birmingham Coffee House
company; Samuel Kay, general man
ager Bury Coffee Tavern company;
James Moffat. contractor (whO has fitted
up many coffee houses); John Harland,
contractor (who has fitted up many cof-
fee houses); A. A. Bryan, proprietor,
trading as Cardiff Coffee Tavern COM
nny; Frank Short, general manager
Central Tea and Coffee Houses compa-
ny, Manchester.
We have no doubt that all who are in
terested in coffee house work in this
country will be greatly pleased to learn
of the proposed visit of these gentlemen,
and will take every possible advantage
of their presence here to learn more of
the practical workings of the English
coffee taverns. Mr.. Short also calls our
attention to the last annual report of the
Birmingham Coffee House company.
The financial showing was magnificent.
The dividend was 121 per cent. Mr..
Short adds:
you will rejoice that Liverpool and
other leading companies have maintain

couraging in the highest degree.-Chris-

Anger Inflamed by Drink,

Recently the New York Evening Sun
had an editorial under the title, Some
Crimes and Criminals" in which the
following paragraph occurred: "An un.
usual amount CT homicidal assault this
morning arrests attention. A saloon
keeper assaults three; in another drunk.
en- row a man kills his antagonist and
then himself; one tough shoots another
in the head; a hunchback infamed with
drink takes three shots at an object of
his wrath; a negro assassin is lynched.
In these events. it will be observed, there
is nothing noteworthy. All of them at
test merely the passion of anger under
aspects mostly commonplace. even to
tho incident that its fame had been fed

Gratitude.

Gratitude consists in watchful, mi
mute attention to tho particulars of our
state, and to the multitude of Gods
gifts, taken one by one. 1t fills us with
n consciousness that God loves and cares
for us, even to the least event and
smallest need of life. 1t is a blessed
thought, that from our childhood God
has been laying his fatherly hands upon
us, and always in benediction; that even
the strokes of his hands are blessings,
and among the chiefest we have ever re-
ceived. When this feeling is awakened
the heart beats with a pulse of thankful
ness. Every gift has its return Of praise.
1t awakens an unceasing daily converse
with our Father-he speaking to us by
the descent of blessings, we to him by
the ascent of thanksgiving. And all our
whole life is thereby drawn under the
light of his countenance, and is filed
with gladness, serenity and peace
which only thankful hearts can know
