MESQUITE COFFEE.
Texas Plant Said to Be Good Substi-
 tute for the WeII-Known Tree.

Texas Plant Said to Be Good Substi-
 tute for the WeII-Known Tree.
 The prairies of west Texas are cov- cred with mesquite bush. The name of tree would be more appropriate, as it often attains height of twenty-five feet and it's trunk diameter of six to ten inches. This bush or tree has been said to flourish best in dry weather, but the truth of this alleged characteristic has not been proved by this season of prolonged wet weather. The rains seem to have benefited the hardy mesquite equally as much as they have the other vegetation which is found on the prairies. The mes quite is greatly appreciated by the extreme drought cattle have been known to live for many months on the leaves of the mesquite when the range was bare of grass The mesquite tree promises to become of conSiderab ble commercial importance through it's ly resembles the coffee berry in flavor and appearance that one cannot be told from another when roasted. The bean of the mesquite has long been used as a substitute for coffee by the MeXicans of the Rio Grande Sorder of A few years ago the possible commer- clal value of the mesquite bean was called to the attention of a large wholesale coffee house in St. Louis lhlS firm sent a representative to west Texas to make an investigation of the product Thorough tests were made of the bean, and it was found to be perfect substitute for coffee It was proposed to use it in great quan- titles for adulterating the cheaper grades of coffee. With this end i1 View large roasting establishment was put up in San Antonio to prepare the bean for market before shipping 1t to St. Louis ahd other points. This plant was placed ill operation ana many MeXicans were employed at low wages in gathering the bean. Many thousands of pounds of the beans were roasted and shipped to St. Louis, and 1t was said that the industry was very profitable. The next season, however, the mesquite bean crop was complete failure, and the roasting plant Lad to remain idle. When another failure of the bean crop occurred the second sea. son the business was abandoned and the roasting plant removed from San Antonio.

Small Men Live Longest.

One of the most interesting and Trustworthy statements in respect to old age is the report on the habits of centenarians, made some years ago by a commission appointed by the British Medical association. It seems that most of these people were small or me- >!lum of stature and a spare habit ot body; the voice was rather feeble; most of them had lost their teeth. but nearly all enjoyed good digestion, one old man of 9S, a clergyman, placing his hand on the organ in question and saving that he never knew what it was to have a stomach. Nearly all of them had enjoyed uninterrupted good health, and many had never known what It was to be sick. They were all very moderate In eating, most qt them using little animal food. Few indnlged at all in intoxicating drinks, and those only in notable moderation. They took considerable outdoor exercise and nearly all possessed the good natured. placid disposition.

EARTH'S DRYEST SPOT.
Regions of Greatest and Least Rain In
 the World.
Antonio.

the World.
 A place on the coast of Peru about $50 miles south of the equator, known as Payta, is supposed to be the dryest spot on the face of the earth. The average interval between showers at Payta is seven years. When Professor Fairchild visited the place in February there had been, some time before, a drizzle lasting from 10 o'clock one evening till noon the next day This was the first rain that had fallen in eight years. The opposite side of the world furnishes the counterpart to this almost rainless region It is among the hills of Assam, where the eleya- tons condense the moisture brought by the south monsoon and pour a del uge upon the Cherajonji station of the Indian government The annual mean rainfall there is about 620 inches. and in the exceptional year of 1861 it amounted to 790 inches. Nowhere else does the tropical downpour equal that which descends upon this district among the Khasia hills. The rains be- gin in March and continue almost steadily till the middle of November. That part of the plains adjoining the rivers Is under water for eight months every year. During this period there is no communication, even between neighborins villages, and to this en- forced isolation is attributed the fact that there are considerable differences of language among the people of neigh boring hamlets who undoubtedly. at one time, spoke the same language Their swamps and quagmires keep them apart-New York Sun

An editor of little country paper in
this State runs an inquiry department
III connection with his journal, and it
has proven to be mite popular feature
with the subscribers. Recently, how
ever, he got his answers mixed with
disastrous results.
Two subscribers asked the following
questions:
1. How can an orchard be protected
from plague of grasshoppers?
2. What is the best method for gett-
ing twins safely through the trouble
of teething?
To the horror of the editor the num-
bers denoting the answers became mix
ed and appeared in the paper like this:
1, Give little castor oil and rub
their gums with bonestrings.
2. Cover them with straw and set
fiie to them. The little pests, after

viRGlNIA's NATURAL TUNNEL.
Said To Be As Interesting A Curiosity As
The Natural BRIDGE,

While the tourist comes from afar tt
view the Natural Bridge, and carries
away forever photographed on his
memory the stupendous spectacle, YET
the natural tunnel of Scott county il
conceded by most people who have seen
them both to surpass the bridge in
grandeur and sublimity of scenery.
The tunnel is situated IA miles west
of Gate City. Stone creek, consider
able stream, flows through it, and at
high tide rushes along its cavernous
bed with noise resembling the heavl-
est thunder. The tunnel is about one
eighth of a mile in length, and curves
in the form of the letter 8. At its
southern entrance it Is very high, the
noble ceiling bending gracefully, form
ing circular dome as smooth and re-
gular as if followed out by the hand of
art. From this point it gradually di-
minishes in size, the roof coming down
till, at the northern entrance, it
reaches to within 80 feet of the surface
Of the water. The northern declivity
above the tunnel is irreguler and pres
ents little attraction, except its bold
and rugged height, but the southern
side fully compensatss for all defici-
encies. Here perpendicular wall,
almost as smooth as polished marble
and as white as alabaster risese 400
feet high, and curves in such manner
that to one looking up from below the |
regular rim presents complete semi
circle. In the springtime the summit |
of the wall is fringed with green inter-
;wined with honeysuckles. On the
eastern side Chimney Rock. an irregu-
ar but perpendicular column. rises
rom the bottom of the chasm to the
evel OF the plateau above, standing
'lear of the wall from base to summit.
The ridge through which the tunnel
is covered with q heavy grow
h of timber, and a public highway, |
eading from Clinchport to Rye Cove,
)asseS along it's crest.
The Virginian and Southwestern
ailroad has been constructed through
he tunnel, and presents, perhaps, the
,nly instance OF railroad running
through natural tunnel. Owing to
he curvature the railroad company
1ad to tunnel through the angular pro-
ectiOn near the northern entrance,
hus making double tunnel.-Scott
Jounty, Leader.
