A traveller has made the observation
that coffee drinking. people are very
seldom given to drunkenness. In Bra
I'll, for instance, where coffee is grown
extensively. and all the Inhabitants
drink It many times day, intoxica-
tion is rarely seen. The effect is not
only noticeable among the natives. but
the foreigner who settles there. though
possessed of ever such a passion for
strong drink. gradually loses his liking
for alcohol as he acquires the coffee
drinking habit of the Brazilian.

It Is well known that the German
emperor Is a very careful diary-keeper,
but II IS not so well known that he
scrupulously calculates and enters up
the total OF his journeys every week,
whether within or without the con-
fines OF his empire. "A member Of his

calculated in his diary that during 1898
he Travelled 21,750 miles. and visited
"a cities; but these totals are, Of
course, larger by reason OF the Pales-

Good Job for a Lazy Man.

The drollest of all Partisan call.
ings is that of the "culottier des
pipes (pipe colorer). This mem
ber Of the social system devotes
his whole time to carefully color
ing new meerschaums and fancy
clays for their owners. His work
is scarcely arduous, as he merely
sits and smokes day after day.
And his charges are very small

From the Kalamazoo Telegraph; In
the southwest portion of Jackson coun-
ty five rivers have their rise. Three
OF them flow into Lake Michigan and
two into Lake Erie. The Lake Michi-
gan streams are the St. Joe, the Kala-
mazoo and the Grand river, which
flows through this city. The others
are the Raisin and the Huron. A queer
circumstance in the water supply
shows itself at Clark's lake, fourteen
miles southwest of here. On one lot
there may be seen a we'll with
wooden pump spout. Turn the spout
to the east and the water will flow
into the Raisin river, and then on into
Lake Erie. Turn the spout to the west
and the water will flow away into
Grand river, and SO on into Lake Mich
igan.

scientific Forecastinr.

The first attempt at scientific fore
casting of the weather was the result
of a storm which. during the Crimean
war, Nov. II. 1854. almost destroyed
the fleets of France and England. AS
a storm had ragged several days earlier
in France. investigations were made.
which showed that the two were in re-
ality one storm. and that its path
could have been ascertained and the
feet forewarned in ample time TO reach
safety.

A law was recently passed In Nor
way prohibiting the sale OF tobacco to
any boy nnder 16 years of age without
signed order from an adult relative
or employer. Even tourists who offer
cigarettes to boys render themselves
liable to prosecution. The police are
instructed to coniscate the pipes, ci-
gars. and cigarettes of lads who smoke
in the public streets. A fine for the
offense is also imposed. which may be
anywhere between so cents and $25.

Whales teeth form the coinage of
the Fiji islands. They are painted
white and red, the red teeth being
worth about twenty times as much as
the white. The native carries his
wealth around his neck, the red and
white of his coinage forming a brill
liant contrast to his black skin. A
common and curious sight in the Fill
Islands is a newly married wife pre-
senting her husband with dowry of
whales teeth.

Whether the protest Of the Che
rokee citizens, patrons Of the ma
tional school at Vinita is heard,
needed or ignored, the fact must
remain that injustice has been
done. The organization of a pub
lie school system for the city Of
vinita ought not to be allowed to
interfere with the rights of the
Indians. The absorption Of the
Cherokee school by the city school
is all right provided it is entire and
complete, but the Cherokees
should not thereby be deprived OF
any rights they already enjoyed
under their own government.
$500 of the common school fund OF
the Cherokee nation is poured into
the treasury of the city schools
and about so Cherokee children
turned away from the school.
The taxes of the town are suppos-
ed to be collectibls from Cherokee
citizens, others are not supposed
to have taxable property here,
and in additl, to this the Chero-
kee nation gives the school $3.50 the
first year with the promise
of more, and sees the door OF the
school shut in the face of her own
citizens. These people are en-
titled at least 10 the rights they
had before the creation of the pres
ent city school board. The dis
elimination is glaring one and
ought not to be persisted in. The
government of the United States
ought to see that these Indians get
fair show, and this blow at the
tribal schools is q blow at the
foundation of the structure of In
dian civilization. The Indian chill
dren ought to be helped and en-
couraged rather than turned out
of school. The. Cherokees have
struggled up through many diff
ficulties and embarrassments to
their present state Of culture and
civilization, and their schools are,
and have been their principal
source of pride. In the name of
justice and fairness, we earnestly
protest against the destruction Of
the Cherokee public school in VII
nita.

HOW THE cow WAS DIVIDED,
1t Took a Wise Judge to Define the
Partnership Lines in the
Animal.

| II had a peculiar case before me once
when was on the bench" said the Judge
during lunch hour. II had become ac-
| quaintcd with certain man who had
| gone INTO partnership With another man
| IN the ownership of Jersey COW, INV
friend paying $25 and his partner $50.
They lived next to each other, but when
the COW came the man that paid $50
began all at once TO show what kind Of
q man he was. The COW was kept in
my trends barn, and the first night
a stranger walked in and MIXED her
pretty nearly dry and started off. Hold
on, said my friend, where are you 90
ing with that mill1?' Home said the
mixer. We'll, that milk belongs to
me- l reckon not said the man, put
ting down the pail. I've rented half the
cow
Sure enough" continued the fisher
man, S'he had lease on the milk end
of the COW. My friend went over to
see about it, and his partner said that
II was all right, that he had paid the
most, and naturally had the choice of
halves, and he had selected the after
half on an imaginary line running mid
way between the fore and hind legs.
and sublet his end to the man. NV
friend was supplemented chap, and
SO he went home to think it over. AT
the end Of the week he sent over for
some hay for the COW. The other part
ncr sent back that lie had nothing to
do with that end Of the animal, and that
the man who owned the eating end
did the feeding. My friend began to
suspect that lie was being worked, so
the case came before me, and I don't be-
lieve that Solomon, in all his glory,
ever had 4 case with SO many technicali-
ties. All the lawyers in the county
were either in the case or were hanging
over the bar. I had the COW brought
into court on writ of habcas corpus.
Well, you remember the old phrase:
'Aristidcs jusuts fuit?' Well, SO was +.
decided that it was a case Of erroneous
Jurisdiction, and changed the owner
ship from horizantal to longitudinal.
In other words, I divided the COW length
wise, SO that each had half the mouth
and half the udders; and, if do say it,
the justice of that decision made me
famous, and my friend thinks that

BACHELOR GIRL COLONIES.
How They Provide Plensnnt Homes
For New Yorlz's Se1f-Support-
anE Young Women.

In several of the uptown avenues.
right in the heart of upper tendon,
live the colonies Of bachelor girls of
New York. They are women of re-
fnement and culture, some means and
undoubted business capacity, with
ideals beyond the hall bedroom and it's
cherries and lonesome environments
and at the same time they are women
who are alone in this city and self-sup-
porting.
To such women chow to live be-
comes a question of absorbing and IT.
rltating moment. Driven by one after
another of the exigencies of business
life here to seek new quarters as the
city moves up town, they do not know
where to turn until the common law
OF necessity drives them into commun-
ism. They do not call themselves by
any high-sounding name, or by any
name at all, but they just got together
to form some sort Of cooperative es-
adjustment that will give them a gen
cral table, a roof tree and q place to
call home.
"Oh! you know, we can live SO much
better and cheaper this way" they
said, when I questioned some of them.
And you never quarrel?" asked.
oh. you ought TO see how well seven
women can get along together" they
answered, laughing.
The colonies have for their typical
flat q set of eight shut-off rooms-not
continuous flat, with everybody run
ming in and out and no place to call
ones own, but room for all and a
room for each girl which none dares
invade.
a general dining room, pantry and
laundry, with wcll-lighted. specklcss
kitchen, complete the inventory. Of
course, they have girl or general scry-
ant, who, for "eStras,' adopts the part
OF maid to each one who wants but
ton here or n tape there, or a we'll
| brushed skirt.
Much fun and good humor prevails
where seven or eight girls arc common
sharcrs of apartments that mean
home to them all, and many Of the
old time traditions for women have
faded away within those walls.
A piano, library Of few choice
books and many we'll selected etchinrs
adorn the drawing room belonging to
one we'll known circle Of bachelor
maids, and they manage to get along
very well without any masculine heads
to the departments. The apartment
is rented in the name of one; repairs
and demands are made Of the owner or
agent through her; the marketing is
done by one with domestic tendency;
the accounts are kept by a girl with
| ability in that line, and all the colony
affairs are carried on With system and
precision.
"As fast as girl gets engaged" they
say-and it appears they are not too
advanced" to outgrow the good old
(story-"we throw her out" And SO
the law OF change affects the colony.
