COFFEE TIPS
How the First Plants Were Brought
over TO This Side OF the
World.

A pretty story Of the Introduction ot
coffee into the western hemisphere is
quite TO the point since our new posses
sions have so bountifully produced ii in
the past, says the Philadelphia Record.
There was time when this assisted
emigrant," though SO nobly self-sup-
porting when it has the opportunity,
was tender slip and likely to perish Of
thirst. In 1714 Louis XIV. was pre-
sented with a single coffee plant for
his botanical garden by an Amsterdam
magistrate. IL was nourished tenderly
and in time slips from it were sent 10
Martinique-no doubt sub-rosa to the
Dutch-the Dutch having long con-
trolled the cultivation of coffee and
guarded it jealossly lest it be eulti-
waited on islands not under their control
On the way to Martinique the botanist
in charge, the ships supply Of water
getting low, shared hisaown daily al
lowance with the precious plants. Re
spending to his kindness, they wer,
soon growing nicely in Martinique. In
due time these slips produced theh
fragrant white fowers-they grow at
the roots of the leaves-and these pres
emily changed into berries, each with
its two grains of-coffee. From Mar
Unique the coffee journeyed to Porte
Rico and Cuba.
Now Porto Rico alone annually ex
ports about S9,0OO,O0O worth Of thil
highly esteemed bean. The plant grows
wild in some parts of Africa.

OLD FOES WATCH EACH OTHER.
Navajos and MoIsis sim Keeping n
Guard Their Ancestors Estnb-
Iizhed 800 Years Ago.

The Navajos and the Molds are an
cient enemies. The Navajos stalk the
plain, wide scattered. The Molds
huddle on the point of a precipitous
mesa towering a thousand feet above
the red desert. Inch by inch they
covered before their prosecutors
through a hundred years until at last
they built their village of to-day on the
heights four centuries. Though bitter
foes, the Navajos peaceably visited the
Molis every alternate year on the day
Of the mysterious ceremony Of the
snake dance.
Three hundred summers ago, so runs
the tradition, Navajo boy while watch
ing the dance fell from the brink of
the mesa to a mangled death on the
tumbled rocks far below. And every
second summer since, when the visiting
Nayajos come on TO the mesa they stand,
now in groups, now singly, at the spot
where tho boy fell and gaze down from
the heights for hours at a time.
The Mol1is believe the Navajos are
only waiting a favorable opportunity
to pounce upon them and,avcnge THEN

II is unquestionably true that with the
rapid expansion of local trade the mer-
camille element is becomins a much
more influential factor in municipal
life. In all the great public enterprises
the leading merchants are now found
at the front Their business acumen
has prompted them TO assume these
positions Of prominence and influence
In this connection it would be well for
each tradesman to remember that the
more prominent his competitors shall
become. the more dangerous 20 him
will be their competition; and in order
to hold up successfully against them
he must obtain increased patronage
This he can always secure by advertis

Ambassador lays Big Aprou.

Colonel Hay, our new Secretary Of
State, was, when boy, n regular at
tendant of the Presbyterian Sunday
school at Warsaw, Ill.
The Sunday school lessons partly
consisted OF committing to memory
Bible verses, and to attain supremacy
in this created quite a rivalry among
the scholars. John Hay was sure to
come out ahead from two to five an
swers, sometimes more, causing those
of his comrades who were always be-
hind him to regard him with envy.
Consequently, when some OF those
boys heard that John had to wash
dishes and do the churning for his
mother, and, more than all, that he
wore an apron while at these duties,
his jealous comrades fairly crowed
One morning it was agreed by his
comrades to get him out of doors
while he had his apron on, and humill.
ate him by having two or three girls
whom he rather liked ask him ques.
lions in regard to his homework.
Young Hay came out to where the
boys were and answered the questions
by saying that he washed dishes as
his mother taught him; and then Will
twinkling eyes, he gave the dishpar
which he had with him a tremendous
fling, contents and all, drenching who
ever happened to be near enough, and
laughing loudly, ran into the kitchen

New Zealand Lizard.

The Tuatara lizard Of New Zealand
is said to be one of the most ancient
forms of animal life now existing. It
originally possessed four eyes, but
now has to be contented with but two.
1t lays eggs, and these take no less
than thirteen months to hatch out, the
embryos passing the winter in a state
of Information.
These remarkable animals are found
In only one or two places in the col
ony, and they are rapidly becoming
scarce, as collectors from every part
of the world are continually on their
track. They are about eighteen inches
in length, and, like many of the liz
ards, are said to have the character
istic of being able to replace portions
of their limbs, etc, which have been
destroyed. One owned by Mr.. Carl
Hansen, Of Awanul, had the misfor-
tune to lose an eye some time ago, and
now a complete new eye, as perfect ci
the unchanged one, has grown in the
place Of that lost.

EAGAN WAS FOUND GJILTY..
THE VERDICT CONTAINS A RECON-
MENDATION FOR CLEMENCY.
GENERAL MILES MAY Be NEXT
It Is Reported On Good Authority That
The Commanding General WIN BE
Called TO Account,

A Washington special says: Cen
eral Eagan, commissary general of sub
sistence, has been found guilty of the
charges of conduct unbecoming an Of
fcer and gentleman, and of conduct
to the prejudice of good order and dis
cipline, and of the specifications there
to and has been sentenc ed to dismissal
from the United States army, but with
recommendation from Che court for
the exercise of executive clemency.
Under the regulations, the court
having reached the conclusion that
the accused was guilty, had no choice
in selecting penalty, the regulations
prescribing the one punishment-dis-
missal-for the offense. Therefore,
the only hope for General Eagon is in
the direction of Communication, mitiga-
ton or disapproval.
Colonel Davis, the Judge advocate
of the courtmartial, finished his revis-
ion of the record of the courts pro-
ceedlng Saturday afternoon and at
once placed the papers in the hands of
Secretary Alger.
This action settled at once any
doubt that may have existed as to the
routine to be pursued in the treat
ment of the case. AS for Secretary
Alger, as soon as he has read the re.
cord, he will place it at once with the
president, who, under the law, is the
final reviewing authority. 1t is his
privilege to add to or take from the
strength of the courts recommends
tion that clemency be shown.
The court surprised everybody by
its recommendation of clemency. This
is understood to have been done be.
cause of the testimony of some of Ea
gan's relatives and close friends indi
eating that his mind has become un
balanced In view of the recommen
dation, the extreme penalty will doubt
less be mitigated by the presiden
when the case reaches him.
