At the department Of agriculture
some thorough tests have been made Of
samples of coffee to determine the ex-
tent and nature Of coffee adulterations.
The results are entirely reassuring to
coffee lovers. The expert in charge
finds that while very little pure Java
or Mocha berries find their way into
the American market, almost if not
quite as good favored beans are had
from other tropical places, Porto Rico
and Hawaii being mentioned as fur
nishing good coffee. The adulterants,
when used, are for the most part harm
less.
The testing chemist further declares
that the use Of coffee in moderation
should not do any injury to adults even
IL continued a full lifetime, but men,
tions in detail what moderation means.
This is a cupfulEonly half OF it coffee,
the rest hot milk-at breakfast, none
at noon, and a small cup of black coffee
after dinner. On some systems un-
doubtedly coffee may act as a poison,
and such persons, of course, should not
drink it.. The average grown person in
normal health may use it moderately
without harm.-Exchange.

alexander Simpson, the lawyer"
says The Philadelphia Times, twas
elected president of the Pennsylvania
Bar Association not long ago. AS soon
as it had been announced that Mr..
Simpson had been elected the lawyers
crowded around him and offered con-
gratulations. Mr.. Simpsons little son
was in the room, and for several min
utes he watched the crowd shaking
hands with his father. Then he made
his way through the crowd until he
reached his fathers side. A gentle
man had just said, Il congratulate you,
Mr.. Simpson, when the newly elected
president felt tug at his coat tails.
Looking down, he saw his Ison. We'll,
what Is it, my boy?' asked Mr.. Simp
son. 4 love you, papa, said the young

Crete to Be Restored to Greece

The European powers have asked
Prince George of Greece to remain in
Office as high commissioner of the is
land of Crete after the expiration of
his present three years. term, and the
prince has, of course, consented. AS
there appears to be no time limit on his
incumbency the request practically
amounts to the annexation of the is
land to the Hellenic kingdom. AS the
powers evidently want Greece to have
the island Turkey is powerless to pre-
vent it, and there is likely to be little
If any trouble in the eventual actual
transfer of sovereignty. Crete is wholly
a Greek island, though about quarter
of the inhabitants speaking the Greek
tongue are Mussulmans. The island
was practically given to Greece by the
powers as compensation for the loss of
the Thessalian territory taken by the
Turks as the result of the war of 1897.

DAMAGES AWARDED
Under Lottery Law Against De-
benture Companies.

The questions in regard to the lot.
terry features of the late lamented de-
benture companies will come to the su-
preme court for final adjudication.
The local attorneys for the compa-
nies received word Sunday that in the
test case before one of the Cincinnati
justices the jury had been instl ucted
to bring in verdict that the company
was lottery, and to find damages in
the sum of $50 for the plaintiff and $50
penalty under the Ohio law. The at
torney for the company will push the
case to the upper court as rapidly as
possible. If the verdict of the jury is
sustained by the supreme court it will
mean that every certificate holder can
secure damages against the promoters
of the debenture companies under the
State statutes in regard to lotteries

A Study of Stamps.

We can gather knowledge of his
torical and commemorative events by
the pictures on stamps. The insurrec-
tion of Don Carlos in Spain, 1S73-'75, is
clearly shown by the face of that in
dividual appearing on an issue o.
stamps at that time. st. Nicholas, for
January. 1894, says: THE change from
King Alfonso MI. to the regency,
and the baby King, Alfonso KILL, no
boy collector will forget. Nor will the
girls fail to remember that in 1891,
soon after the death of the old King,
William I'LL; charming girlish face
made its appearance on the stamps of
the Netherlands. There is scarcely a
stamp-issuing country which does not
government since it began their issue.
The young collector who has found it
easy to remember that Columbus dis
covered America in 1892, but not so
easy to recall the exact date, will have
the very day fixed in his memoIy by
the Argentine commemorative issue,
which appeared October IL, 1892.
In our own country we had the
Columbian set to commemorate the
Worlds Fair, in 1892 -'93, and now the
Pan-American set. Geography is an
other thing taught by stamps. We
may see the volcanic character of Sal
vador by her stamps. Natural history
is also taught, and every young collec-
tor knows upon what stamps to look
for the Kangaroo, the bird of paradise,
the hippopotamus, the llama and the
elephant,

Reading Character by the Nose.

"You can almost tell persons char
acter from the nose alone" remarked q
scientist. "All great men have great
noses. The Greek nose, which has Nc
protuberance, but is straight, argues
great sense of aesthetics, of beauty, bu
no character and no power of conten,
ton.
Large nostrils show courage. People
of fearless disposition breathe fully
and freely. All the fercer animals
have dilated nostrils. The dropping
nostril shows histrionic talent If tha
nose also droops. it denotes tragic
power. and IL only the nostril capacity
is marked for the Interpretation of
comedy.
"Where the nose Is thin at the bridge
It shows generosity, while nose that
is thick at the bridge argues acquisi
tiveness. When it is tiptilted, like the
petal of flower. the person is inquisi
tive. A projecting nose argues dispo-
sition to investigate. 1t is ahead Of the
person. as it were, and wants to scent
out things"

"Every Cuban must have his help.

"Every Cuban must have his help
err" says an army officer who has been
serving in the island. "You cannot
hire carpenter an hour, unless you
provide him with a helper to his ham,
mer and nails and to talk to him. In
saving the carpenter reverses the mo-
tion used by the American carpenters.
Collars on mules are worn big end up.
In rowing a boat the oarsman pushes
instead of pulling. There are many
other habits which strike Americans as
equally strange. 1t is popular miscon-
ception that people in the tropics can
not eat meat. All who can afford it
buy meat. But only the favored few
can ford it. The chief subsistence of
the natives is the sweet potato, which
is rank in its growth. Meat costs 25
cents pound, and, strange as it may
seem, Cuban butchers charge the same
for neck or hook as they do for tender
loin. Meat is meat to them"

Protecting Fowls From Vermin

Years ago l had the trouble from
vermin so common among poultrymen;
vermin everywhere of the blood gorged
sort that crowd every small opening or
crack along the roosts. 1t was impos-
sible to do any work that brought one
in contact with the platform which re-
ceived the droppings without carrying
away half dozen lice. My great rem
edy was kerosene, poured literally over
the roosts and diligently worked into
every crack and hole. This, of course,
killed all that it touched, but the re-
mainder made almost as great a nui-
sauce as before.

Those curious little appetizers,
capers, without which the boiled leg
of mutton is incomplete, are cultivated
largely in southern France, especially
Savoy, but many come to us from the
Balearic islands, in the Mediterranean,
off the coast of Spain, where they
grow wild. The vines Chamber over
the rock is a very beautiful manner,
and the berry, which is the seed vessel
of the plant, is gathered by the peas

market places of Balearic towns and
shipped to Spanish or French ports for
expectation.

The Kaiser Waited.

A woman Of high social distinction
in America was presented to the kaiser
at some dinner that was not attended
with royal state. She was talking to
him when she was offered a famous
German salad. 1t was handed on her
right, and the kaiser was on her left
which put her in predicament. She
did not dare turn her face from the
emperor to help herself to the salad
The situation was too much for her
The emperor, seeing the condition at a
glance, looked at her for an instant and
laughed as he said, "a kaiser can wait
but salad cannot"

The intellect of the hen has been
questioned, but she was never known
to cackle before she laid the egg.
Success is knowing how to steer as
you go with the tide.
The only real luck lies in having
sense enough not to sit down and wait
for luck.
Success sometimes depends on keep
ing the mouth shut; then again it de-
pends on keeping the mouth open.
Never let the sun go down on an iced

In New York the other day a typf-
cal street fakir was selling boxes OF
shoe polish. At the top of his voice he
was telling the virtues of the COM
pound. "An you have to do, gents"
he said, "is to put it on, and your boots
will shine like patent leather. You
don't have to rub 1t, and it will pre-
serve the leather and make it water
proof. 1t costs but a nickel, half
dime, one-twentieth Of dollar, and"
he concluded, holding out box toward
a rawboned countryman, "here is
one man that wants box, know"
"Waal, 1 dupno whether 1 dew er
not" said the countryman. 81 rather
guess the DANCED stuff's got acids in
1t, and it'll rot the leather"
"Sir," answered the fakir, with great
solemnity, -'you are unduly incredulous.
l will demonstrate to you that this pol
ish is so harmless that it might be put
into the hands of q teething child.
Look, 1 will eat it,
As he spoke he took a pinch of the
grimy looking compound from a box,
placed it In his mouth, and, with look
of triumph in his eyes, began to chew
1t. "Now, SIR" he said to the country
man, "are you convinced"
"Waal, dunno" said the incredulous
one. Because you eat the stuff 1t amt
no proof that 1t won't rot leather.
