FOR COFFEE DRINKERS.
How Stale Bread Is Utilized in
the Fabrication of Berries.


the Fabrication of Berries.
New York sun.
The superintendent of a big milling
company over in South Brooklyn sat in
his office few days ago aud seemed
amused at the work of a man who was
unloading a wagon in front of a coffee
firm directly opposite. 1t was day
when men discarded coats and vests for
their shirt sleeves IN the effort TO
obtain relief from the heat. Perspira-
ton rolled down from the face OF the
man unloading the wagon, and it was
evident that he did not see any Joke in
his employment.
When asked what he was laughing at,
the man who was amused answered.:
"Why, don't you see what he is unload
ing in those barrelsY"
a close look showed that the coffee
mill was receiving wagonload of stale
bread and light suddenly dawned
upon those in hearing. They were
anxious for information, ana the super
intendent had this to say which will ill.,
terest coffee drinkers:
"This fellow has been in the employ
of that firm for long time. 1t was
several months after first noticed him
before 1 discovered the nature of his
trade. He owns his own morse and
wagon. and every night visits number
of bakeries and hotels in the city, and
for very small sums buys all their stale
stock OF bread. He has an arrangement
with this company, which purchases all
he can deliver"
"What does the company do with it"'
was asked in three voices.
"Oh? that Is where the wooden nut
meg idea comes in. and I'll bet that we
have Southwest milers who can dis
count the shrewdest Sam Sticks who
ever lived. Why, they have process
over there for grinding the bread which
is hard to a powder. 1t is colored,
moistened, and then, when soft and
pliable, pressed into the fiuest Imitation

listeners incredulously.

Southern Russia is described as more dismal

Russian nobility, has written to ST. Peters
burg from Bogordisk, In the Government of

was even worse than that of the previous
year. Rye failed to yield the cost of sowing.
and oats and hay failed entirely in many
parts. These causes completely ruined the

is hopeless. I've find ourselves" he says,

THE LEVINSON ESTATE.
Some Sharp Words Between Judge


COffey and Crittenden Thornton.
The litigation over the LevDson estate
had another unpleasant airing before Judge
Coffey yesterday. Lawyer Horace Phil

in chambers on Friday prohibiting Admins
TRAITOR Goodwin from laying out any money
belonging TO the estate Yesterday morn
ing Lawyer Crittenden Thornton appeared
In court and informed the Judge that the

and was without warrant of law. This
remark dspleased Judge Coffey, where
upon Mr.. Thornton said that counsel and
court were on unequal terms Judge COT
fey characterized this remark as Insulting,
and replied that outside of the courtroom
counsel would not dare indulge in such
remark, otherwise he would discover that
the terms between counsel and court were
very unequal.
Howard McSherry of counsel for the
estate, suggested that everything would be
all right If Mr.. PhllbrO0k and N Good win
In washing their dirty linen In court did not
persist in dragging the names OF other at
torneys into the controversy.
On the wltness-stand Mr.. Goodwin made
the statement that Mr.. Philbrook had
threatened him with some very dire conse-
quences if he did not deed to him a quarter
interest in some land valued at about
10000. which he, as his attorney had Sc
cured possession of for him in suit some
years ago.
Judge Coffey quoted the section of the
code which made it imperative for him TO
issue The order claimed by Mr.. Thornton to
be void. After appointing Ira p. Rankin
as special administrator of the estate. the
further hearing Of the matter was post
poned.

Another efficient mechanism in this field is
a hardwood flooring apparatus, which takes

matches it. and has five cutting cylinders,

times as heavy as the sun. To the naked

there are worlds revolving round them.
