The Great Wall of China.

The scenery from the Great Wall is
very fine The wall is here dividing
line between the high, rugged hills of
China, which tower above us on the one
hand, and the great sandy plains OF Mon
golia on the other, with dim mountain
submits beyond in the far distance
Over these barren, rocky spurs and ac-
clivities, ascending to their very sum
mits, winding about in their irregular
curves and zgzags, its serried battle
ments clear-cut against the sky on the
topmost ridges, descending into dark
gullies to appear again rising on the
other side, the endless line of massive
stone and brick runs on and on until lost
to sight behind the farthest range. And
so on it goes for miles aad miles. east

along the border of the Cobb Desert and
kansu, until it ends among the foot hills
of the Nan Shanrange. However we may
regard it, whether as a grand conception
Tor the defense of an empire, as an engi-
neering feat or merely as a result of the
persistent application of human labor, it
is stupendous work. No achievement
of the present time compares with it in
magnitude.
But it has outlived its usefulness.
The powerful Tatar and Mongol hordes,
whose sudden raids and invasions it was
built to resist, are no more to be feared.
The great Genghis and Kublai could not
lead their people to CORY conquest now
as they did centuries ago. The Chinese
civilization has endured, while the once
conquering Mongols, the people who in
their brightest days established an en-
pire from the Black Sea to the China
coast, and a court at Picking of such
luxury and splendor as Marco Polo de-
scribed, are now doomed to pass away.
leaving nothing behind them but the
traditions, and records, and ruins of
brilliant past The wall stands as sharp
line of division between the tribes of the
north and the Chinese. The latter.
though repeatedly subdued and forced
to bear foreign yoke, have shown an
irrepressible vitality to rise like phenix
and to reassert their supremacy and the
superiority of their civilization. -[Cen

The Worlds Coffee Canister.

Brazil is the largest coffee producer in
the world, and the great bulk comes from
her two provinces of Rio Janeiro and
Santos, the latter furnishing the greater
part of it and the finer coffee. Some
quantity comes from the provinces of
Bahia and Ceara, both part of Brazil.
Rio Janeiro and Santos export every
year from 5, 100000 to 1000, 900 bags of
1870 pounds each. Rio was formerly
the largest exporter, but Santos is rapid
ly outstripping her.
Santos coffee is higher grade, has a
finer flavor, and as rule commands
more money than other South American
coflees. All other cotfees are called
mild" as contradistinguished from
Brazilian.
The largest producers of coffee are
Brazil, Venezuela, Guatemala, Costa
Rica, United States of Colombia, Mexico
producing a high grade which is very
popular, and the output is rapidly in
creasing), West Indies, Hayti and San
Domingo. Cuba was large grower of
coffee, but the sugar interests have over
shadowed it, and she now imports from
this country. Little coffee is produced
in Africa. Liberia and Zanzibar grow a
small quantity Manila is not a factor
IN the coffee trade of America. Small
quantities come here, but most of the
product goes to Europe.
Ceylon has been the largest single pro-
ducer of coffee in the world; but owing
to the exhaustion of the soil primarily
and later to leaf disease, it has rapidly
fallen into the background.
Java, or East India coffee, is an i'm
portant element in the coffee trade, is
very popular and largely used. Mocha
coffee is all shipped from Alden to Lon
don and Paris and transhipped here.
This is supposed to be the coffee par ex-
cellence. 1t is an acid, light bodied cof-
Zee, and does not command as high a
price as some Javas or some OF the finer
grades of Central American coffee. The
finest coffee in the world comes from the
Plantation Ceylon, situated in the mount
ans In the interior of the island. Pri-
vate growth Javas are very choice, and
are probably equal to the best Ceylon.
Mocha seed coffee from Santos is es-
teemed very highly. and large quantities
of 1t are used for Mocha. = New York

the production in immense quantities OF
fairly accurate limitations of the notes
and bonds of the southern states. 1t is
certain that these criminals actually en-
ployed the services of photographers in
the money printing establishments which
supplied shinplasters for the support of
the war, and in this way they were able
to secure impressions made on paper
matrices from the original photographic
stones. Thus they had no difficulty in
reproducing the bonds and notes by the
simplest mechanical means in fac smile.
the only difference being that the counter
feits were apt to bea little bigger than
the originals by reason of the stretching
of the paper matrix.
At the beginning of the war the con-
federate paper money was current at par
1t soon began to depreciate, however,
and by 1863 its market value had fallen
to about 80 per cent. Toward the end
OF the war it was worth so little that one
had actually to be millionaire in order
to live at all. Milk cost $40 quart.

the confederate money seized was cram

the officer quoted. In response to re-

MRS. LEASES SPEECH.

Mrs. Lease Made a Grand Speech In Be
half of the Reform Movement.
Last Saturday was gala day for all
the people in Sherman county, except
the Democrats and Republican. It was
gala day because the gifted Mrs.
Lease was with us. She was to come in
by rail at noon, but an accident hap
pening down the line, she drove over
from Colby in a buggy.
Notwithstanding the long and tire
some drive, she gave to the people one
of the most eloquent and logical dis
cussions on politics that Sherman
county voters have listened to for low
these many years.
Long before she commenced the
opera house was jammed and packed
like SardineS in box.
There must have been between 200
and 400 persons in the audience.
There never was a speech listened to
with more intentnesS; never more was
an audience more carried away; never
was a subject handled with more con-
sumate skill; never did the members
of the two old parties squirm and twist
for the actions of their party as they
did under the scorpion lashes of her
silver toned tongue.
At the conclusion of her speech she
challenged any one in the audience, or
in town to meet her in joint debate on
the issues of the day. It is needless to
say she had no takers.
Her evening speech was welcomed
by the unsurpassed Goodland band.
The evening speech was devoted to
the discussion of the Omaha platform
transportation, communication and fl
nance. She made these demands so
plain that a way-faring man, though
fool he be, would not err therein.
Again she dashed the old parties for
the condition the country is now in!
Would that we had some more Mrs.
Lease'sl Well may she be styled the
Joan Of modern days" May she live
long to show erring man his political
duties.
She left here on Sunday for Colby
where she spoke on Monday, and of
course, created great enthusiasm for
Mrs. Lease can do that.

that are to race, led by a man on foot,

crowd must stop. AS soon as the rab-
bit gets from so to 100 yards away, and
