a Chapter on Coffee.

A pretty story Of the introduction Of
coffee into the Western Hemisphere is
quite to the point since our new pos
sessions have 50 bountifulIy produced
it in the past.
There was a time when this "assist-
ed emigrant," though so nObly self
supporting when il has the OppOrtuni-
ty, vas a tender slip aud likely to per-
ish of thirst. In l724 Louis XIV was
presented with single coffee pant for
his botanical garden by an Amsterdam
Magistrate. II was nOUrished tenderly
and in time slips from it were sent to
Martinique-no doubt subrosa-tO the
Dutch, the Dutch having long con-
trolled the cultivation Of coffee and
guarded it jealously lest it be cultivat-
ed on islands not under their control.
On the way to Martinique the botanist
in charge, the ships supply Of water
getting low, shared half his own daily
allowance with the precious plants.
Responding to his kindness, they were
soon growing nicely in Martinique. In
due time these slips produced their fra
grant white fiowers-they grow at the
roots Of the leaves-and these presen
ly changed into the berries, each with
its two grains Of coffee. From Mar
Unique the coffee journeyed to Puerto
Rico and Cuba
Now Puerto Rico alone annually
exports about s9.OO0,OOO worth of this
highly-esteemed bean. The plant
grows wild ia some parts Of Africa.

Dewey's English Mnkmaid.

This comes from Manila by way of
Leslie's Weekly: Many of the promi-
nent English residents, both men and
their wives, among whom Admiral
Dewey had many warm friends, were
aboard to say goodbye. And in this
connection there is a pretty little tale
about beautiful mestiza, who, they
whisper in Manila, saved the Admir-
aps life. Last summer, so the story
runs, the AdmiraPs health was much
impaired and the Olympia's doctor pre-
scribed diet Of fresh cows milk One
might as well recommend dissolved
pearls to beggar as to prescribe COW 3
milk at that time in Manila. The
Admiral was telling, as good story,
the incident one day to a party of his
friends from Manila, one Of whom hap
pened to be the pretty young mestiza,
whose father is a prominent Britisher.
They all laughed heartily at the Amer
lean doctors absurdity that is, all ex-
cept one.
AS in fairy tales, il so happened that
this pretty young lady's father was the
pOssessOf of number of splendid Aus
tralian cows, who gave "real milk"
every day. This was treasure that few
were able to indulgeiin in Manila. Thus
it happened that the next day and
the next and manana indefinitely, as
long as the Olympia lay in the harbor
of Manila, there was sent every day
aboard ship niee fresh bottle Of Aus
tralian cows milk, and so our indebt-
edness to England continues to increase.
Whether the story is true or not there
is at any rate, or was, in a conspicuous
place on the dresser in the AdmiraPs
cabin, when the Olympia sailed away
FROM ManiIa:a picture Of the very eele-
brated Manila, beauty, and, unless the
seas get too heavy, I'll wager that il is
still there when she heaves anchor in
New York harbOr.

Bleaching a Negro.

The removal of pigmeEt from the
human skin has long been practieed
by dermatologists. A needle is heated
electrically, and the eol0ring matter is
simply burned out. The result is not
always as satisfactory as might be de-
sired, since there is pos ibility that
scar may be left which may be fully as
unsightly as the original Disagreement.
A story comes from Vienna which puts
in the shade such restricted use of the
electrical current. 1t tells of the bleach
ing of a negro from top to toe. An
Austrian merchant who went on a trip
To Africa brought back with him q
Soudanese negro, about l9 years old.
The negro became affected by nervous
troubles, and the merchant took him
10 famous neurOpafhist Of Vienna for
electrical treatment Ibual Lscho-as
the patient was named-improved dai-
ly; but as the disease left him there
also disappeared the black dye Of his
skin. According to the Viennese ae-
count, he passed through various
grades of color, until finally he blaneh-
ed into the true Caucasian complexion.
The explanation attributed to the
doctor is that the black pigment Of the
negros skin was asdisintegrated and event
ually eliminated by the electric current,
the chief fcoloring matter, meIanin, found
in the hair and the skin, containing
iron, and strongly reacting upon cleo
tric contact In this application Of
electricity Austria would seem to be
somewhat in advance Of this country,
where all the electric bleaching done is
strictly commercial and confined to
still life.

An Arkansaw Editors Fate.

An Arkansas editor recently ordered
pair of trousers from a tailor. On
trying them on they proved to be sew
eral inches too long. Ii being late Sat
urdsy night the tailor shop was closed
and the editor took the trousers to his
wife, asked her to cut them of aud
hem them over. The good lady, whose
dinner perhaps disagreed with her,
brusquely refused. The same result
followed an application to his wife's
sister and also the oldest daughter. But
before bed time, the wife, relenting,
took the pants and cut six inches from
the legs, hemmed them up nicely and
returned them to the closet. Half an
hour later her daughter, taken with
compunction for her unfilial conduct,
took the trousers, cut off six inches
and replaced them. Finally the sister
n.law felt the pangs Of console nee, and
she too performed an additional surgi-
cal operation on the garment When
the editor appeared at breakfast Sun
day morning the family thought a
highland chief had arrived.

the simplest forms in which il can be
taken is by the raw whites of eggs.
These are nutritious and easily digested.
The white is broken into jar with

They should not be piled more than

When your cane-seat chairs begin to

can by weaving in cords, or, if very
bad, replace with piece Of canvas

The back may be finished with simi-

To polish your piano saturate 3 piece
Of ehamOis skin in sweet oil and apply
faithfully to every part. Then with a
dry skin rub well, renewing the pieces
as they become creased with the oil.
Il will require one hour OF even longer,
Of constant rubbing to give it the gloss
desired. For your walnut furniture
take three parts of linseed oil to one
part OF spirits Of turpentine. Put on
with a wOolen cloth, and when dry
rub with WOODEN. The polish not only
covers the disdgured surface but re-
stores the wood to its original color
and leaves a lustre upon the surface.
Crude petroleum is very good for clean
ing any kind of hard wood, and il is
the cheapest furniture polish possible.
To remove white marks from ma

little sweet oil; wipe it off, then rub
with a few drops Of spirits Of wine and
polish with an old silk handkerchief

Feeding New Corn.

II is the custom Of many farmers to
commence feeding new corn to hogs as
soon as 1t is in the roasting-ear, making
it, with the addition Of pasture fire.
quently scaDty, the sole feed from that
time until the hogs are finished for the
market This is wasteful practice
How wasteful, any farmer can see for
himself, says Wallace's Farmer, il he
will pull off an earof corn in roasting
ear, hang it up 10 dry, pulling one each
week until the corn is ready to cut up,
and then. about the lst of December,
when all are thoroughly dry, shell and
weigh the grains on each ear, taking
care that the ears selected be as nearly
rs possible OF the same length and the
same number of rows.
He will then understand as ne never
did before that up to the r0asting-ear
stage the corn plant is simply getting
ready to work, and that its work Of
storing foed in the ear is done in
comparatively short period. II, there
fore, the farmer feeds eorn in the roast
ing-ear stage he does il at great loss
How great the loss is we will not say,
preferring to allow the farmer TO find
that out for himself by the simple and
easy method above mentioned. We
are spt to forget what somebody tells
Us we are sure 10 remember what We
find out for ourselves. The first Objec-
tion, therefore, against this method is
that it is a very expensive one. Seven
ty pounds of dry, mature corn in the
ear will furnish about fifty pounds Of
dry matter in the grain. Ii will sur
prise the farmer to find out how many
more pounds Of roasting-ears will be
required 10 furnish the same amount OF
dry matter and nutrition.
The second objection is that an all
corn diet from the rOss.ing-ear period
on IS not the thing for hog. The hog
likes roasting-ears; so does his owner,
but he would not relish them greatly If
he had roasting ears alone for break
fast, dinner aud supper, week in and
week out. While there is nothing that
will furnish the mature hog so cheaply
in the fall of the year as ear corn and
cold water, nevertheless up to this final
finish all hogs, and particularly young
hogs, require greater variety of feed.
A good pasture will go far toward bal
ancing this all corn ration, but feed
of oats and barley or ground rye viii
still go further, and while they cost
more, yet we are inclined TO think that
in due proportion with corn they are
cheaper feed than the all-eorn ration,
even when that is but l5c per bushel.

A Simple Disinfectant.

For the sick room a pleasant disin-
fectant is made by putting in saucer
some freshly-ground coffee and light
ing q piece of camphor gum on top Of

OdOr Of roasting coffee, an aroma that
is agreeable to most people. This per-
fume has tine advantage of being health
full, and is to be preferred to the pastiles
and incense powders, which to some
are very siekening The odOr Of the
coffee will eounteraet any bad aroma
