CONsUMP1ION OF COFFEE.
The United States Leads All Others
In the Quantity Used.

The United States Leads All Others
In the Quantity Used.
More coffee and less tea, or substi-
tuition of coffee for tea, seems to be the
rule with the American people just
now. The figures of the treasury bureau
Of statistics show that the coffee i'm
portation of the past year has been the
heaviest in the history of the country
and the tea importation the ightest in
many years. The importation of coffee
in the calendar year 1897 was over $780,
900, 900 pounds, and the 1898 figures
will be about the same as those of 1897.
In no earlier year were the importations
ever as much as 700, 900, 900 pounds
This is a larger amount of coffee for
each individual than was ever before
consumed in the country, the per capita
consumption being about II pounds an
nually, while no earlier year showed a
per capita consumption of as much as
ten pounds,
Reduced to tons, the total for the
year 1898 would be 100000 tons, re-
quiring for its transportation $4,000
cars, which, if grouped in a single
train, would nearly reach from New
York to Baltimore. The United States
is by far the largest coffee consuming
country in the world, our own con-
sumption being nearly double that of
all Europe, and practically half of the
coffee produced in the world In only
two countries Holland and Denmark
is the per capita consumption larger
than that Of the United States, that of
Holland being % pounds per capita and
of Denmark Is pounds, against II
pounds per capita in the United States,
81 pounds in Germany, 81 in France,
and less than pound per capita in
Great Britain.
Tea importations, as already indicat-
ed, will be unusually light during the
year just ended and the withdrawal
Of tea from warehouse for actual con-
sumption will be very much less than
the actual importations. The total i'm
portations of tea for the calendar year
will be about IS, 900, 900 pounds, while
in past years they have ranged upward
Of 80, 900, 900, those of the fiscal year

White House attaches have many
stories of the unfailing democratic
courtesy Of the president which has
made him so popular with public men.

which concerned Senator Cullom. A
week or two after his fall on the ice,
from which he is still suffering, Sen
ator CullOm called at the White House.
Ee was lame from his accident, and
walked with difficulty with the assist
ance of a cane.
He was accordingly taken up stairs
in the private elevator, Juggling big
bundle of papers supposed to be on the
district judgeship. After a satisfactory
interview, during which the situation
was canvassed, the Illinois senator with
infinite difficulty prepared to go down
stairs
"Not that way, senator, " said the
president Lets take the elevator. 4"
On reaching the elevator the president
found to his dismay there was no con-
ductor. "Step in, senator guess can
manage this thing all right, and be-
fore he knew what had happened the
Illinois senator was being carried to
the main floor with the president of
the United States as his elevator boy
The situation was so curious Senator
Cullom forgot all his pains and, with a
smile, said;

STORIES OF KIPLING.
Interesting Characteristics of the
Noted Author.
EXPERIENCE IN A YANKEE COURT.

Curiosity of His Fellow Citizens In
the BaIestier Case-A Critics View
of Kipling's Work In India - De-
scriptiOn of His Home Near Brat
tIebOrO.
Apropos of the visit of Rudyard Kip
ling to the United States the following
story about the author will be of inter
est
"You remember said a friend,
"the difficulty that Kipling had with
his wife's brother, Beatty s. Balestier,
in the spring Of 1898? Well, you re-
member that he had Balestier arrested
for using improper and indecent Ian
guage toward him and threatening his
lifeP When Balestier came up for ex-
animation, Kipling had to go on the
stand. The courtroom was crowded
with as many of the citizens of Brattle
bOro and the surrounding country as
could be packed, jammed and wedged
into it.
From the time Kipling first came
to that section of Vermont none of the
people had ever been able to find out
much about him. He held himself aloof
from the natives, minded his own bust
ness and discouraged any advances that
most of them made toward establishing
friendly relations. They wanted to
know what his house was like on the
inside. They never found out, because
they never got farther than the door
They wanted to know how he lived and
worked, what he ate and when and how
much he slept. They never had
chance 70 crafty their curiosity until
the 8alostier case came up. Then they
concluded that they might have a
chance to feast their eyes and ears.
"The lawyers on both sides, local
practitioners, understood the motive
that attracted so many people to the
trial, and, wishing to do all they could
for their fellow citizens, thus increas-

KIPLING's VERMONT HOME.

ing their own popularity, they asked
Kipling all sorts of questions. Neither
Kipling's nor Balestier's lawyers inter
posed many objections to questions that
clearly had no bearing on the case
were irrelevant and immaterial, as the
lawyers say.
1T happened, therefore, that Kipling
was obliged to give, in the course Of
his examination a great deal of person
al and family history While he was on
the stand Brattleboro learned more
about Kipling than it ever hoped to
know and was greatly pleased in con-
sequence. Kipling had taken much
pleasure, up to this time, in knowing
that his neighbors were just devouring
themselves with a curiosity that they
had no means of gratifying. When he
found that he had to tell so much about
himself ne was the most Disguised man
in the state of Vermont The one thing
he wanted was to get away from the
place and forget, if he could, all about
his first and only experience in an
American law court. Almost immedi-
ately after the case was concluded and
Balestier was bound over to keep the
peace the Kiplings began to make prep
arations for their foreign trip.
But there is another reason-one
connected with his literary career-that
prompted the trip. A few years ago
critic writing of Kiplirg's work done
in India, said Besides the silly world
that disports itself thro ghout most of
his poetry and some Of his prose, there
is another Anglo Indian world, which
for high aims and a ceroain steadfast-
ness in effort, after the personal interest
in effort is well nigh dead, has never
had an equal in history Some day a
writer will arise-perhars this young
man-who will make that nobler Anglo
Indian world known as it really is.
Kipling paid more attention to that
criticism than any that vas ever made
of his writings. He made up his mind
to follow its suggestion
