JAY A COFFEE.
49,
Real Java, | mean, has, on
account of heavily reduced
production, become an expen-
sive coffee. If you want it, |
have it, fine old Java, not a
grain of anything else in it
but l can't sell it roasted for
less than forty cents, nor can
any one else; it just can't be
done. You know l buy it in
the green state, and therefore
know exactly what | sell.
Roasters have found that
certain fine Central American
cofees come nearer to Java
than any other, and it's a very
easy matter to label a package
"Java." Now if you want to
buy a good substitute for Java
| have a very fine Salvador
which | sell at thirty cents.
You don't pay anything for a
fancy label. 1t is strong, fine
and full-bodied.

plantains, vegetables and fruit. There
would be fair-sized dwelling house, a
water or cattle sugar mill, huts for the
negroes and wharf on the river bank,
says a writer in Popular Science
Monthly. The planter decided to give
up the place, as he had an offer of a
more fertile piece of land on the coast.
Taking away everything portable, in
Guiding the machinery Of his mill, he
abandoned the rest, carrying away his
negroes, and left the clearing to ma
ture.
Look on the plantation year later.
Already thicket has grown up which
is only penetrable by the constant use
of cutlass. After a great deal of la
Dor you reach the borders of the once
tidy clearing. What wonderful sight!
Along the line of forest trees dense
wall of creepers rises sixty to hundred
feet high, forming an effective vail to
the dark arcade beyond. From these
stretch out long ropes, twining vegeta-
BILE serpents and giants fingers, all
moving toward what was once the open
space. Some are hundreds of yards
long, roofing at the joints, whence 9th
er branches radiate and from the dense
obstruction we have cut through.
The creepers, twiners and scramblers
have not yet reached the house, but
nature is at work there also. Round it
was once an orchard of oranges, lines,
star apples and other tropical fruit,
with few Towering shrubs. Most of
these are now overrun with the blood
sucking loranths vegetable leeches
which are continually draining their
juices and evidently fattening on the
spoil. These exotic bushes and trees
have no business here; they are in
truders. If man protects them and de-
stroys their enemies they can thrive,
but if he abandons them they must per-
ish. Perhaps you are thirsty and look
for an orange, but among dozen trees
not single fruit can be found, and
never will be again.

THROUGH EUROPE.

In the announcements OF marriages
IN Spain, the ages of the contracting
parties are always given.
BARRELS of wine, anchors, scythes-
in fact all kinds of merchandising
conveyed by the post office department.
IT is the custom for house builders in
Germany to leave small fiat place on
the roof of each house, for storks to
rest and build on.
FRANCE has offered S1OO,OO0,oO to
King Leopold for the Congo Free State,
in case Belgium will not take it, ac-
cording to Berlin reports.
SPAIN has Just ordered that all
steamers flying the Spanish flag or sub
sidized By the government shall in fu-
ture carry none but Spanish engineers.
The prevailing practice is to carry at
least two British engineers, and for
merly all were British.
MoRTUARY tables show that the aver
age duration of the life of women in
European countries is something less

this fact, of the list of centenarians col

GERMANY's proposal for the establish

POLLY'S USEFULNESS,
Installed as Solicitor for Money for the
Poor.

Installed as a Solicitor for Money for the
Poor.
1t has hitherto been customary to
fritter away the intellectual force of
parrots by merely teaching them to
say Pretty Poll'' and things of that
sort. but the municipal authorities of
a French town have instituted what it
is to be hoped will become a general
reform.
The poor-box at the town hall, it
seems, had for long time been in a
condition discreditable to the more
prosperous of the inhabitants. To re-
mind them of their duty toward their
poorer neighbors parrot was pur-
chased, which was installed close to the
box and trained to cry: For the poor,
if you pleased"
The result, it appears, has been high
ly satisfactory, pence and silver having
been freely given in response to the
birds appeal.
The idea is capable of being applied
in variety of ways. Parrots might be
used, for example, to warn passers-by
of the proximity of wet paint on fences
or shop fronts, Or to remind people on
entering house to wipe their feet.
In fact, parrots might be made really
useful members of society.

BILLY'S BRIGHT IDEA.
It Helped His Mother in Her Trunk
Packing.

Packing.
The Churchman has given US Billy's
idea, which is surely valuable enough
to be spread abroad. His mother was
going to the seashore, and while she
was packing her trunks he was pop
ping in about every five minutes with
something of his that must be packed
also.
I'D like to help you, mother" he
said once, preparing to pitch his fishing
tackle in on his mothers lace gown,
cause you look so tired"
"Never mind, Billy" said his mother,
catching the tackle. II shall rest after
awhile. Packing is hard work for a
tall person, though, for it makes one
stoop So"
Why" said Billy, with his hands in
his pockets and his head on one side,
why don't you put the trunks upon
something? Hullo, 1 know; horses,
wooden horses, you know, mother; car
penter's horses; there are some in the
basement. I'll bring EN-
And directly there he was again with
a wooden horse on his back.
Mother ones coming with Sam, -
he said, painting, land we'll lift up the
trunks"
Billy boy" said his mother, straight
ening up her tired back, Il believe
your plan is a good one."
Sure enough, the packing went on
beautifully after that, and at dinner
Billy's mother said she had never
packed so easily and comfortably.
