Finest Coffee in the World.

In many parts of Porto Rico the
finest coffee in the world may be bought
to-day for eight or ten cents a pound,
because it cannot be carried economic
ally to market. This coffee resembles
the Blue mountain coffee of Jamaica
and is superior to the so-called Java and
Mocha coffees retailed in the United
States at 25 and 80 cents pound. l
say "so-called Java and Mocha" because
the treasury statistics show that scarce
ly cargo of the latter has been inn
ported by the United Statesidu the
last 20 years. When the Porto Rican
coffee is once known in the United
States, and there are roads, for its easy
transportation to the seaports II will
take precedence over all other brands.
especially if we import few Porto
Ricans, preferably natives OF Ponce,
to teach us how to make it.-Boston

Admiral Dewey is coming home on
the frst-rate protected cruiser Olym-
pia. He will take several months to
make the trip, because it is trip
for recreation, for health and for
pleasure rather than a hurry-up
business trip. He has earned right
to four months of leisure; and the
American people would probably vote
him perfect leisure for the remain
der if his lifetime, if he desired it.
Speaking of the 'first-rate protected
cruiser" reminds us that, outside of
men of the navy, probably few people
understand what are meant by the
terms ''battleship," "armored cruis-
err" protected cruiser" and "gun YES
SELL" or ''gunboat," as used in describ-
ing types and classes of naval vessels.
They are not strictly limited in their
scope of significance. Generally speak
ing the term "battleship" is applied to
a type or class of vessels which are
protected by as heavy armor and armed
with as heavy guns as they can carry
on a given displacement and at the
same time leave sufficient fotation to
enable them to carry machinery pow
erful enough to drive them at fair
speed, usually about Is knots per hour,
with good supply of coal and stores.
The "armored cruiser" is vessel also
protected by armor and having it's guns
mounted in turrets or shields. The es-
sential difference between battleships
and armored cruisers is that in the
latter the armor is much thinner and
the guns smaller and lighter, and the
ship itself is much more highly pow
cred for greater speed, and also has

For several months more Admiral
Dewey will dwell on the Olympia, and
then he will permanently reside in the
national capital. On his famous flag
ship he will 60 to China for a change
of climate. He will then go to India,
and thence around the Suez canal, sail
ing over historic and sometimes sacred
waters. Over him will float the four
starred flag of an admiral, and wher-
ever he goes that flag will receive an
appropriate salute.
The sensible people of this country
have concluded to give Admiral Dewey
a welcome such as no naval commander
ever before received. They will not
have him carried around the country
like curiosity; nor will they attack
his health with the banquets of so cit
les. They will have him met at sea
by squadron of vessels of the new
navy. They will have him royalty re-
ceived in New York, and then, when he
reaches Washington, they will present
him with a magnificent permanent
residence. Popular subscriptions are
being made, and the committee in
charge of the matter believe that not
only will enough be subscribed to pur-
chase splendid residence for the adj
miral, but that there will be left over
handsome sum for investment, so
that his every want will be well sup
piled.
Already scores of real estate agents
have begun besieging the committee,
offering sites and complete houses;
and each of them expects to profit by
real estate speculations, because the
land in the vicinity of the Dewey resi-
dence will Immediately increase in
value.
One member of the committee to-day
said: eve have decided to receive and
file all these applications, but we will
not buy or build until the admiral ar
rives. If he wants any particular house,
already completed, we will buy it and
give/him the deed. If he wants SUBJ
urban place near Arlington, or on the
Maryland heights, we will buy such

ground as he indicates, and build such
a house as may meet with his approval.
We are simply the custodians of the
funds, and we know that the people
first of all desire that the admiral shall
be satisfied and pleased with their gen.
erous offering, and on that theory the
committee will proceed. Therefore the
spectators who would go to vulgar
money-making, by gambling on Dew
ey's fame and choice of a home, will ac-
complish absolutely nothing"

lieve that they could pick out man
sion which Admiral Dewey would like
to have, without consulting him.
There is a splendid home about two
blocks from the white house. which
was occupied, during his later years, by
Judge Lowery, one of the most popular
and prosperous citizens of the national
capital. One of his frequent callers
was an obscure captain in the navy, who
was spoken of as "a clever little fellow,
quite dressy and refined in his manners,
but not a man of much force. He likes
the old mans daughter
That was Capt. George Dewey, and
he was undoubtedly fond of Miss Vir-
ginia Lowery. But she fell in love with
handsome attache of the Spanish le-
cation, Juan Brunetti. Ultimately she
married him. He is now the DUO DAT
cos, and Spanish minister to this coun-
try.
There are people here who affect to
believe that the Lowery residence,
which is for sale, would be EXCEPTIONAL
ly acceptable to Admiral Dewey as a
gift from the nation. But at the same
time it is suggested that, maybe. Miss
Virginia Lowery, now the Duchess
D'Arcos, may desire to make use of her
childhood's home as the home of the
Spanish minister and his bride.
This sounds little like romance. But
it is gospel truth. SMITH D. FRY.

CHILDREN BORN IN A TREE.
A Family of Eleven Swapping Ones
Brought Up in a Tree Trunk
in Tennessee.

1t is not an ancestral mansion, though
1t has been some 500 years in building.
The beginning of it was a sturdy sap
ling. standing in a tiny cove high on
the side of an east Tennessee noun
tain. BY and by the sapling became a
big, hollow tree. Notwithstanding the
hollow was so big a tall man could lie
stretched at length in it, there was an
outer shell of sound wood and plenty
of vigorous leafy boughs for shade.
The hollow itself was rain and storm
proof, SO couple took up their abode
in it.
They did not bother about furniture.
There was no room for it, even in hol-
low tree measuring seven feet across.
The man put down floor of punch
eons-that is, rough slabs split from
smaller tree trunks. For a bed they
bad dry leaves, and for covering skins
of various animals round about. The
woman knew how to dress them Indian
fashion, so they served in large part
for clothes as well as cover.
An AK, rifle, bullet mold, a pow
der horn, hunting knife, an iron pot,
water pail, jug, two or three big
gourds, bread tray and meal bag
summed up the family's movable pos
sessions. Cooking was done gypsy
fashion at log fire some little way
Off the entrance to the tree. Generally
the pot sat beside the fire, simmering
and stewing. The only bread was ash
cake. For drinking there was a choice
OF sassafras tea, unsweetened, and
moonshine whisky.
The man, OF course, was moOnshin-
er. He was also a dead shot-particu-
larry in the case of a revenue officer.
He was able thus to feed his family by
working about half the time. His wife
looked after the clothing, exchanging
surplus peltry twice year for coarse
cloth, salt and snuff at the nearest
crossroads store, Is miles away
Eleven children were born in the hol-
low tree and grew up into strapping
men and women. One of the boys stood
six feet nine inches-when he could be
persuaded to stand at all. Usually he
carried himself in rather the shape of
crescent. Each of the II was Graded
in the half of smaller hollow tree,
smoothed out inside with the ak and i'm
bedded with leaves. 1t did not need
rockers, rocking itself at the slightest
touch. AS the big tree became crowd
ed, hollow logs were sought, one for
each child, chopped to convenient
lengths and dragged close about the
fire. Into their open ends the bigger
children crept, feet foremost, turned
their heads to the fire and slept snug
through all sorts of weather. OF course
the logs were only for storms and Sc
we're weather. When it was fine the
whole family slept outdoors. 1t was
presumably happy family, and Ger
tainly healthy one, though it went
barefoot the year round, and never so
much as heard of hygiene. The whole
brood grew up innocent of contact with
doctors, ministers or schoolmasters,
AS the owner of summer cottage
down the valley said upon discovering
them: 1.-The truth is, they don't know
enough even to be sick'-N. y. Sun.

MISSING THE JUBILEE.
There Was One Woman Who Seemed
to Be Ignorant of the Fact
That Peace Had Come,

It was in the midst of the peace jubilee
and the editor was the busiest individual in
town, but the visitor got in on him, and,
what was worse, sat down and showed other
signs of remaining, none of which the editor
encouraged.
Excuse me-" said the visitor of his own
volition, but can't ask you an important
question:"
"What is it," responded the editor, with.
out looking up from his work, which is al
ways a sign that anybody ought to under
stand.
"Ain't this peace jubilee we're having in
this town."
1T certainly isl
"And the peace jubilee is celebration Of
peace, amt it,"
Exactly"
'sAnd peace means that war is off, don't
it?"
-*Of course it does.''
"And that the olive branch is hang
ing low, and that everybody is falling
on everybody else's neck, and that every
body is glad the war clouds have rolled by,
and that good fellowship is now prevailing
everywhere, and that every bosom throbs
responsive to the gentle COO of the dove, and
that everybody is wearing white wings, and
that there won't be any more scraps, and
that every body is kissing and making up;
it means that, don't it,"
Exactly" responded the editor, pleased
from such an unsupported quarter.
Il thought So" said the visitor, rising.
''1'll go back home and tell my wife about it.
When | left there an hour ago l don't be-
lieve she knew it had happened. Good
morning." And the visitor went out before
the editor had time to extend his sym.
