TEA, COFFEE AND COCOA.


In 1915 the use OF coffee was first
mentioned i'll Venice.
The coffee plant was taken from
Africa to Persia in $50.
Cocoa has several nutritious oils, and
III this respect differs from and is supe-
rior to either tea or coffee.
Considered incidentally, tea stimu-
lates respiration, promotes digestion
and the assimilation of food.
The leaves of the mate are prepared
for use by being dried until they are al
most scorched, then ground or pounded
to a coarse powder.
The coffee tree in a wild state will
grow to a height of 80 feet. When cul-
tivated, it is pruned down to 8 for con-
venience i'll gathering the crop.
The tea picking season begins in
China about the first of April. A second
crop is gathered a month later, and a
third, of coarse, inferior leaves, is
plucked in July.
The most marvellous stories are told
"a IN Po"NA " hldOO OftI buC AuLitatn
system. Under its influence men have
been known to endure almost incredible
fatigue without injury.
The shells Of the cocoanuts are used
to make al article Of cocoa which,
while not having the strength of the
nuts themselves, is by many preferred
on ccount of its milder qualities.
To 100 parts of tea there are 81 of
gum and sugar, 4 Of fat substance, 10
of albuminoids, 26. 90 of tannin, 90 Of
vegetable fiber, two-thirds of theme, 8
of mineral, 8 of water and 1 of aromatic
oil. 5.N
The tea plant begins to produce. in its
third year. and the leaves are picked
steadily, year by year. until the plant
is eight o. ten years old. when the quail
ity begins to deteriorate, and the plants
are taken up and a fresh plantation Is
set out.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

LIVE QUEEN IN NEW YORK.
Emma of Bismarck Island Comes to Wis
 Her Sister.

Emma of Bismarck Island Comes to Visi Her Sister.
 New York World.
 The Duchess of Manchester did not ar 1 rive yesterday on the North German Lloyd steamship Lahn. The steamship got in safely enough, but her grace was not a passenger. The duchess with her son, the youthful duke and his sister, Lady Mary Montagu, may be on the White Star steamship Germanic, which, is due today.
 To make up in a measure for the ab- sence of her grace, there was real live queen on the Lahn. In private life she is simply Mrs. Paul Kobe, but in the state affairs of Bismarck island one of the New Britain group, she Is Queen Elm ma.
 As a queen Mrs. Kobe is disappoint- ing, but as a woman she is all that the hsart could demand or the mind conjure. She Is bright, modest attractive in man. ner and gracious to degree In appearance Queen Emma is some what similar to that other Oceanic roy alty, Queen Liliuokalani. She is stout and somewhat older than her husband, former officer in the German army. During her rule the practice of cannibal- ism has been discontinued as injurious to the public health.
 Whsn the queen was approached by reporter yesterday she beamed a com
 
 T am traveling quite incog.'.' she said. and for no other intention than to visit my sister Mrs. J. M. Malcolm of Haverhill. Mass. l am retiring queen, you know, and only a poor, half-caste islander"
 She was attended by a full-fledged is- land maid, gowned in a costume which might have been at one time the table cover in a Samoan boarding house. Bare feet and kinky curls made up the rest, not counting a complexion like unto age-stained ivory. Only on brief occa- sions was she seen on the trip over. The queens father was Jonas Coe, an American who settled in Apia. When of age the queen married Captain Farrell, who met her on a trading voyage. In due time the captain went his way and the queen married MT. Forsayth and bore son, who is crown prince. MT. Forsyth following Captain Farrell, she married MT. Kobe. The queen Is immensely rich, and In all the principal ports of the world main tains an agency for the sale of island products. When she reaches Hayerhill the mayor is going to present the free dom of the city to her.

SILVER MEN WIN IN MAINE.
The Vote to Reconvene the State Conven-
 tion Was Decisive Success.

The Vote to Reconvene the Suabe OonVeh-
 tion Was Decisive Success.
 New York Herald.
 Augusta, Me-, July 29.-The struggle or silver for the supremacy in the demo- cratic party of Maine was rewarded with it's first decisive success tonight, when the state. committee voted, Il to D. to re- convene the state convention in Water vile on August to nominate candi- date for governor and indorse Bryan and SewaI. MT. Winslow's letter declining the democratic nomination for governor, because he could not stand on a silver plank, and because he honestly believed in a gold standard, brought the state committee here tonight to either select a candidate for governor on the present gold platform of the party, as 1t was claimed they had a right to do, or call a new convention to adopt a platform of principles such as 1t saw fit, and nomi- nate a gubernatorial standard bearer.
 When the state committee meeting or last week was held here both the gold and silver wings of the party were well represented by leading men of the party, who were invited to be present. Tonight the sound money advocates and the sil- yer men outside of the committee, who attended were few in number. Not all the members of the committee were pres ent. IneTe were hFo SouiibAOS ANf-
 ed by proxies.
 At the last meeting 1t was generally understood that the committee was largely for the single gold standard, at least ten of the sixteen members belng for the yellow metal, the rest being Tor free silver. Since then there nave Deeh changes to the silver side, so that 1t IS now said that the majority of the com mittee is for free silver.
 Tine committees final decision to re- convene the convention which met III Portland June IT was made easier, pe- cause there is not sufficient time to call the caucuses for the election of the dele gates to a new convention. If the gold m sn should succeed in getting control or the new convention the platform With us gold plank will remain intact and an. other gold candidate for governor VIII be nominated. .
 This would occasion a bolt of the silver men. who will call another convention and nominate a candidate for governor on a platform of principles that Will pc in harmony with the platform. on the other hand, if the silver men capture the convention and carry out their inten- tions, the gold men VIII not vote TOT Bryan and Sewall.
 The silver men are jubilant and in the saddle. Men who have been counted all along as gold men stayed away and their places were taken by men who dld not take the stand the regular gold men were expected to take. Chairman Hughes of Bath, Secretary Beane of Hal lowell and Treasurer Barton of Portland were present. MT. Beane made hard fight to have nomination made Dy the committee itself. The reconvening or the convention was made necessary, and It was tacitly understood that the organiza- ton of the former gathering will be maintained if MT. Johnson will accept the chairmanship again, which Is doubtful.

THE MAN IN THE TOWER.
Did He Set the Signal in Time for the Engineer
 to Act or Was he "RattIed2"

Atlantic City July 31.-As a result of the terrible collision on the Meadows last evening between the Reading railroad express from Philadelphia and tho Bridgeton excursion train out of here f0rty-seven people are dead and forty four are lying in the hospital here more or less seriously hurt. Of the injured in the hospital several are expected to die. The fearful shock of the collision is illus trated in%the fact that of the forty-SeVen dead. forty-two were killed outright. Of the dead forty-two have been identified, and the bodies of three women, one man and boy are lying at the undertakers' shops awaiting claimants The responsi- bility for the accident is hard to place at this time, but tn burden of it seems to rest upon the dead engineer of the Read ing train. Edward Farr though an of ficial investigation may clsar his name.
 The coroner's jury viewed the bodies this morning, and they were all taken away except those unidentified. The Pennsylvania railroad furnished special train, which took away to Bridgeton this afternoon twenty-three bodies. The bodies of the others of the identified dead were taken away on other trains during the day.
 Coroner William Mclaughlin has been the busiest man in all Atlantic City TO- day Immediately upon hearing of the accident last night Mr. Mclaughlin went directly into the block tower and ques- toned Operator George F. Houser. Houser told him that he thought the ex- cursion train had time to cross the tracks of the Reading before the express got there, and he set the clear signal for the West Jersey train.
 When the clear signal is set on the Pennsylvania tracks this automatically sets the danger signal on the Reading tracks and vice versa. The danger signal Is still set tonight on the Reading tracks.
 Pending an investigation MT. Houser was placed under arrest by the coroner.
 The railroad officials of both companies here will not talk, and it is difficult to definitely locate the blame of the acci- dent.
 Houser certainly set the danger signal for the Reading train when he gave the excursion the right of way. The question is, did he set the signal in time for Eng neer Farr>to see it or did he become eX- cited when he saw collision imminent and set it too late for Farr to stop his train? FNarr was an experienced engineer and it seems incredible that he would rush past danger signal down to cross ing that was being approached by a tram that he could clearly see.
 Farr's body wus pinned fast under ms engine. Not until this morning were the wreckers able to raise the wrecked en- zine andsdraw from beneath it the crush ed body of the engineer. It was placed Tn a. box and taken to Farr's home here It was reported last night that when Mrs. Farr heard of her husbands death she fell dead. This was not so. She fell lnto a. swoon and tonight is lying in serious condition from the shock she got.

A Puzzled Student.

Professor Kirkwood had habit In the class room of doing many things by signs. If he wished the work erased from the board he indicated it by sys- tenn of motions. and so If he wanted door opened or closed, or a window raised or lowered. One spring day he wanted window lowered. He pointed out student and then motioned to the win dow. The student did not understand, and SO he repeated the motions more wig orousIy than before. The student still failing to understand. the gestlcuationa became more emphatic. Finally, think ing that something must be done, the student rushed to the window and jump ed out.--Dela ware College Review.

BASE BALL.
At Mobile.

At Mobile.
 Mobile, July S1.-Mobile suffered an ig- nominious defeat this afternoon at the hands of King Bailey and the Mont gomerys. The Mobile team could not touch Bailey and made but six bits off him, and they never got a Blackbird to second base until the eighth inning. Montgomery not only defeated them but rubbed it in, giving the Gulf City aggre gation a shut out. For six innings they got but two hits off Bailey. but in the last three innings of the game he eased up somewhat and then they made four more. The fielding of the home team was very ragged, but nothing more was to be ex- pected, since they had a pitcher at short and another at first. Montgomery had no difficulty in hitting the ball when hits were needed to bring in runs, and their experience in this line accounts for the largeness of their score. Score:
