A Million Dollars a Week.

One-half of the worlds production of
coffee berries Is brought to the United
States. Last year 1t was more than
S00,000,00 pounds for the whole coun-
try, or more than 10h pounds head
Of the population. Germany and France
together only consumed half as much
coffee, Germany less than 3k pounds
a head and France only Az pounds per
capita. Great Britain used little more
than half pound Of the berries per
head of the population, but over there
they made up for it by drinking more
tea than any other nation. More than
100000 is sent out Of the United
States every week in payment for cof-
fee. South and Central American
countries, which supply more than 600,-
100000 pounds of coffee year, get
most Of the money. Porto Rico, Java,
and the Philippines get almost all the
rest, but little goes to Hawaii, where
they produce very superior brand OF
coffee berry. Last year the total value
of the coffee imported into the United
States was about $4,000, 900, and that
was less than for several years. be-
cause the import price Of coffee haS
fallen about one-half.

aire First Met Her.
II is stated that James ]. Hill, the
railroad magnate, is one Of the hap
piest millionaires in the world in his
family circle. This is owing, of course,
to his devoted, beautiful and talented
wife, and there is tinge of romance
in their marriage. When Hill began
his business career in st. Paul in
coal and wood carrying enterprise, he
lived at house called the Merchants
Hotel. One of the mattresses was
Mary Michigan. She was Irish, Catho-
lie and beautiful. Hill is Irish and
Presbyterian. Some say that the pref
ty waitress WIS scrubbing the front
steps Of the hotel when Hill first saw
her. However this may be, he was
attracted to the girl. One day she left
the dining room and became student
in convent school. She had brill
liant, acquisitive mind. When she left
the school she was an accomplished
woman, able to hold her own in society
with the best. Then she and Hill were
married. The young people began
housekeeping modestly at first AS
Hills ideas materialized, the style Of
living broadened to suit. Today Mary
Michigan is mistress of what George
W. Childs called the first private resi-
dence in America. 1t is on st. An
thongs Hill, st. Paul, and overlooks
tha river II &c ca laroa that for Tho
servants use alone there are seventeen
bathrooms. Connected with it is the
most superb private art gallery in the
United States, which is freely acces-
sible to visitors. Mrs. Hill reared her
family of nine children in her own
faith, her husband, Presbyterian still,
not Directing. Neither politics nor
religion mars the harmony OF that
home where love rules.

At last Anne was ready to read

sealed 1t with elaboration, commenc-

almost feverish haste, whereupon she
began at the beginning again and read
1t over carefully, dwelling in particu-

Old Egg, from Chimes. Statesman.

Moy Kee, Chinese restaurateur OF
Indianapolis, Ind, received a royal
gift a few days ago in the form of
100 eggs that had reached the remark
able age OF 100 years. They were still
good, in fact, according to the Chinese
view, better than they were the day
they were laid. They had been cured
by some process known only to the
cooks of China, who cater to the man
darins and the higher classes exclu-
sively. They had not been cooked,
nor had the shell been broken. The
eggs came from no less a parsonage
that Ii Hung Chang, and the enclosed
card. bit of queer paper. half
foot long, expressed to Moy Kee the
compliments of the Chinese statesman
and wished the son Of the Flowery
empire a long and happy journey
through life

There are parts of New Jersey within
a very short distance of Philadelphia,
too, which, strange as it may seem,
are but little more known today than
they were 200 years ago. In fact, there
are portions of the pine Barrens"
which have never known the tread of
a white man. 1t is this wilderness
that a party OF naturalists-Mr. Stone
as chief and Messrs. REIN and Cog
gins as assistants, are starting out to
explore. Starting from Medford they
make a circuitous route, camping as
best they can for seven nights, and
returning to Medford with their coll
lections. In a certain sense Of the
word, this expedition Is only prelim-
mary to others Of a more extended ma
ture which may follow. Work in this
region must be done by small parties
returning frequently to some base OF
supplies, as food is nearly unobtain-
able and transportation Of heavy loads
of specimens impossible. The expe.
dition will make observation upon the
soil and water supply and collect all
manner of plants and animals, which
will be turned over to eminent special
lists for Identification.

To the Unsuccessful.

The notes following John Bruins ar
ticle in Farmers Review, April 10, were
good, especially the advice to not give
egg producers or condition powders.
II your chicks need such stimulants
(they are not feed) you had better
market them and get new start.
To the advice given would add that
perhaps he has been feeding too much
salt and pepper, little is beneficial.
but too much Is disastrous as experi-
ence taught me. The best plan of feed
ing pepper is too allow them to pick
at the pods on the plant, or the dried
pods in the winter. They will rarely
eat too much. II chicks are fed the
table scraps, their feed will need little
II any salt. There is need Of green
stun. cabbage, rye. turnip tops; and
OF vegetables, raw potatoes, turnips
and onions, also meat or milk.
Perhaps the greatest need Is grit.
lack OF grit will cause indigestion
(dyspepsia), and of course chicks or
anything else will do no good II af-
ficted with dyspepsia. Are they free
of lice? This with their limited varie-
ty Of feed and restricted quarters
would prevent their laying eggs. Do
they get exercise? If not the whole
trouble may be traced to this. Make
them scratch hard every day in the
year; fix them nice dust bath; give
plenty Of clean milk and water to
drink; get rid of lice; give them the
semi-staryation cure a few days, 1t
will help them. Leave off the condi-
ton powders. the salt and pepper. and
most Of the corn; give vegetables and
green stun; IL this does not cause them
to lay you would better fatten and
sell them. then buy fresh start. The

She ate her BUTTERFLIES rolls slowly

was Anne's way, to be childishly i'm
patient for her letter, and then when
II came to save 1t and hoard it, put
ting off the great pleasure of reading
It in order to prolong the delight. The
arrival of those missives from over
the sea had marked the red letter days
in all the months she had lived in her
little room in Rue Servandoni. In
the summer time she had usually
taken the letter into the Jardin du
Luxembourg and read 1t over and over
again there in the soft twilight. No
one in the garden ever spoke to Anne
or disturbed her. Perhaps because her
clothes were too shabby and unat-
tractive, or, more probably, because
there was nun-like steadiness in the
gaze OF her deep gray eyes that dis
armed the needless students who are
wont to tease unattended girls. For

Horticultural Observations.

The fearful ravages of the San Jose
scale are plainly evident in some of
our best peach-growing states. We
believe that some Of our Illinois men
that are laughing at this pest as of
no consequence would quickly change
their minds IL they could go through
the peach-growing sections of our At
lantic states. Whole orchards have.
within two years, had to be cut down,
each orchard consisting of thousands
of trees. A representative of the
Farmers Review recently visited an
orchard of thousands of trees that are
apparently doomed to the axe. The
trees are just coming into bearing, but
are SO covered with the scale that
treatment Is almost out Of the ques-
ton.
The question Of destroying plant lice
by fumigation is live one and one
thu Is being exploited. OF old we used
to Kill rose lice with the fumes Of to-
bacco. The present mode includes the
killing Of tree and plant insects by
more powerful gases. Thus the San
Jose scale Is being disposed of by the
assistance of hydrocyanic gas applied
to the trees when the latter have been
covered with big tents. With small
peach trees the application becomes
easy, especially when the trees are
low-headed. Later experimenters are
using the same gas to destroy lice on
vegetables. Small caps are made, to
be placed over each plant. and inside
is dropped small amount of the
chemicals that make the gas. In ten
minutes the insects are all dead, and
the plant uninjured. The process is,
however. only in its experimental
stage.
The articles that are appearing in
the Farmers Review on the Kieffer
pear illustrate how skilled men may
differ. Some Of the horticulturists that
are looked upon as authorities and as
well-nigh infallible, have taken posi-
lions Numerically opposed to each
other. We hope there will be more
unanimity Of opinion after all the evil
dence is in. Nearly every subject has
in it more than appears on superficial
investigation.

She climbed the five flights Of
stairs YEARLY and painted as she drew
the big key to her little room from
her pocket. 1t was rather difficult to
hold two rolls and letter in one hand
while she unlocked the cumbrous door
with the other. She was always tired
after her days work in the "atelier,"
and tonight she seemed to be more so
than usual, but her supper and the
letter would revive her. The precious
letter! 1t was late-perhaps the
stormy weather had belated the mail
steamers.
The concierge had smiled quite hu-
manly when she gave it to her. The
concierge had heart after all hidden
underneath her stern manner and
somewhat soiled neckerchief. Anne
had wondered before IL she had any
softness about her; she was always SO
grim and forbidding even In her hab-
ttual politeness. Now she knew she
had, for she had smiled with actual
gentleness when she gave Anne the

The little room was icy cold and
Anne put the letter on the mantel,
where she could look at 1t while she
built her FIRE and prepared her tea
plain tea. At first she had had sugar
and milk in her tea; then she found
that q thin slice of lemon was much
nicer and cheaper. After while she
discovered that sugar was a useless
luxury, and she had finally come to the
conclusion that tea was more strength
ening without the lemon.
The letter was in a blue envelope,
a dear blue envelope, and the writing
was firm and showed strength of char
acter. Anne smiled at the French ad-
dress. She knew that "Madamoiselle"
was used for her amusement. SO, of
course, she was amused. The letter re-
ally seemed to smile back at her from
the mantel, and she crossed the room
to lightly kiss the envelope his lips
had sealed. Her pale cheeks filled
with color for an instant, and she
turned shyly back to the little fire
where copper tea kettle had begun

There are songs enough for the hero
Who dwells on the heights of fame;
I sing for the disappointed
For those who missed their aim.

For one who stands in the dark,
And knows that his last best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
I sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious. soul -~.
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight of the goal;
For the hearts that break in silence
With a sorrow all unknown;
For those who need companions,
Vet walk their ways alone.
There are songs enough for the lovers,
Who share loves tender pain.
! sing for the one whose passion
Is given all in vain.
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way

This minor strain today,
And know the solar system
Must somewhere keep in space
A prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost the race.

Unless it held some sphere
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that are wasted here.
