Barbaric splendor. An India rajah wants

Recently young man in Denver. Color
ado, who had doubts about the divinity of
Christ, told his pastor that ii Mr.. Glad
stone affirmed his belief in that doctrine he
would accept it. Accordingly note was
sent to Mr.. Gladstone, and though it
reached him in the midst of the election
excitement, he found time to send the fol-
lowing in his own handwriting on postal
card: "All write, and all I think, and all
I hope, is based upon the divinity of our
Lore, the one central hope Of our poor,
wayward race"
Guatemalans believe that there Is no
better coffee in the world than that raised
on their own plantations, and Central
American coffee has of late years acquired
Q high reputation in the markets of the
world. It is usual for wealthy Guatema-
lans to make sure of good coffee In travel
ing by taking along q store of their own.
A long glass tube, several inches in diam
eter, but tspsring to a tunnel at one end,
is filled with ground coffee, and through
the mass is poured cold water. A strong
solution of coffee slowly drips from the
narrow end of the tube, and this liquid is
carefully put in air-tight vessels, to be
warmed in small quantities and drunk on
the journey.
Again the robber tariff. Previous to
the enactment of the Mckinley tariff down
quilts were luxury used only by people
who had plenty of money. Ninety eight
per cent. of these goods were imported
from England. Only one small factory for
their manufacture existed in the United |
States. There are six American down
quilt factories doing prosperous busi- |
ness. The price of the finer grades of |
down quilts has fallen from $50 to SIT,
and of the cheaper kinds from $11 to So. /

A Philadelphia physician who has just

stopped with gentleman in Liverpool who
is making a fortune out of one of the most
curious applications of the drop-a-penny-
in -the-slot idea that have ever seen. In
by the way, they use 1t for a
dozen things that We know nothing of in
this country. The use for 1t to which
allude, however, is the furnishing of nlu-
gas to small consumers. small
device Is fastened to any ordinary gas
meter and each time a copper penny is
dropped in the slot a certain amount of
gas Is let into the meter and thence into
the pipe leading to the burner. A little
dial shows how much gas is admitted to
the meter, and q dozen or more pennies
can be dropped in in succession If the pur-
chaser so desires. Over four thousand of
these are now in use in Liverpool, and the
demand for them in that and other big
cities is SO great that the company owning
the patent cannot at present begin to make
them fast enough to supply 1t.
