A Protest.

Away with the hate of the idle rich
And the fear of the ruling few!
The world is ours to make or mar
The work is ours to do.
Shall we who are million men
Cry out against a score?
Shall we, who take all we can gain,
Blame him who takes the more?
Let us remember in our scOrn,
OF this sad truth be sure:
That the selfish heart of the rich man
trades
On the selfish heart of the poor!
No blame to us; no blame to him;
No time to waste, no scorn;
But need to work for the blessed day
That sees the new world born!

THE FAULT WITH TH.E COFFEE.
Expert Says Berries Should BE Roast
ed and Ground at Home.

Expert Says Berries Should he Roast
ed and Ground at Home.
Connoisseurs say that good coffee is sell
dom found today in private houses in the
United States, and attribute the deteriora-
tion in quality to the fact that few families
now roast and grind their own coffee.
Certain firms sell an excellent grade of
roasted and ground coffee, but the same
coffee Drowned and ground at home would
be more satisfactory.
There's no question about it," said the
coffee buyer of one of New Yorks largest
grocery establishments, "all coffee ought to
be ground just before it is cooked, and yet
fully three-fOurths of our retail trade is in
ground coffee. Laziness and late break
fasts have ruined American coffee, and
patent coffee pots have finished the Job. ,.
about the only place l know of where I
get coffee to suit me nowadays is in the
little village where / spend my vacation.
l send up the green coffee, and the landlady
browns it in small quantities, and grinds it
battered tin coffee pot, settles it with an
egg, and serves it with real cream and l
feel that I'm really getting my money back,
and that life is worth living.
"Of course, buying coffee already Drowned
isn't so disastrous as buying it ready
ground. l advise browning it at home, a
little at time, but it does take time and
bother, and practically no green coffee is
sold save to coffee roasters They have
every convenience for wholesale roasting
and do it well enough.
Anyone who knows anything about
coffee can tell one kind from another in the
green; but the coffee roasting process has
been SO perfected that the green berry
marks may be completely obliterated, and
when the roaster is through with the
berries the buyer can't ten whether he is
getting Rio or Java, save by the taste.
''Individual tastes in coffee differ greatly,
and much of the flavor depends upon the
roasting, which is another reason why coffee
should be roasted in the home, to please
the taste of each family. Some coffee
drinkers affect special mixtures, too, and
buy the different berries and mix them
themselves, so as to get exactly the blend
they like.
Not one cook in a hundred is careful
enough not to allow coffee to boil, and boil
ing will queer the best coffee on earth.
1t must come just to the verge of boiling
and stay there for few minutes, but never
&c beyond; for boiling brings out the tannic

THE MAGAZINE GRAFT.
Department officials Competitors of
Newspaper Men.

| Magazine articles have come to be
regularly classed by the initiated as
among the many desirable perqusites
of high Government officials and heads
of departments in Washington. whose
well-known names affixed to articles
dealing with questions Of timely interest
with which they are called upon to cope
officially are sufficient to ensure perusal
of the same by the reading public, and
hence, in the vernacular, 'the magazine
graft is being worked to death"
1t is noteworthy fact also that as the
number of articles published over the
signatures of those prominent in Wash
ington departmental life grows steadily,
the amount OF news that filters through
the regular channels as steadily de-
creases. a newspaper man well known
in Washington was talking with the pri-
vate secretay of the head of one of the
departments the other day and happened
to mention that the week Just past had
been very quiet.
Very quiet?" said the secretary. u

The newspaper man explained that he

The private secretary then hitched his

from a publication for a story on What

wanted all the interesting stuff that
cropped out for that. And you'll find"
continued the private secretary that
this state Of affairs is not confined to this
department alone"
The truth of the private secretary's
last statement was shown by an occur
renee of later date. The newspaper man,
having an inkling Of an Alaskan matter
OF great interest and Importance, in which
another department was concerned called
on an official of the bureau who sits not
far from the throne, and requested the
details OF the matter. The official hem
med and hawed for time and then when
pressed for reason as to why the mat
ter was not made public, became conf |

LUCK IN THE GAME.
The Part Played by Fortune in
baseball Contests.

Luck has much to do with the winning
and losing of ball games" remarked Cap
tain Robinson at recent tanning bee
among several of the players, ''and it
manifests itself in peculiar ways Eoms-
times. l remember back in 1884, when
we were fighting so hard for that first
pennant that we could not sleep for think

q game from st. Louis In a curious way.
although 1t was more due to the quick
wit of an assistant groundkeeper than to

players clubhouse was situated at the
west end of the grandstand and just be-

THE st. Louis club was hard PROPOSE

pitchers, Breitenstein, Hawley, and Ar

Louis that showed Boston down to third
place that year by beating the Beaneaters
three straight in the last series. Just
when the race was getting at its hottest

and the next man hunted. The play had
to be made in q hurry. and the fielder
threw the ball out of reach of big Roger
Connor on first base.
1T went bounding straight into the
open clubhouse door, caromed on a locker
door and rolled at the feet of the boy who
was there to look after the players ef-
teets. Quick as n flash the boy dropped
the ball out of the low window, and when.

In the wings Just behind the mob stood

hand dropped and the curtain descended.
Several times this was repeated. and then
the stage manager gave the orders to

Many and weird are the ideas of freak
inventors concerning fountain pens. One
genius has devised brass cylinder, to
be filled with ink and fitted at one end
with piston rod. The other end tapers
to fine point, near which is a stopcock.
The piston rod is for the purpose Of fore
ing the ink downward, and the stopcock
let's 1t flow copiously or meagrely. An
other penholder is provided with two pens
so that tine writer will not be forced to
stop SO often to dip mis- pen into the
ink well" writes the inventor. The idea
is to dip both pens at the same time and
use them alternately. thus saving enc dip
in every two penfuls.

patents which have been rejected by un-
appreciative examiners is that of man

Plan and scope.

The great scale on which the ersosi-
tion is planned renders It possible for
the hrst time in the history Of eNposl-
tions TO provide separate building for
the educational exhibits. and TO collect
under one roof a comparative display Of
educational systems and educational
agencies from all the leading nations Of
the world.
Not yet at a great international expo
sition has there been a complete and com
prehensiye display OF all the educational
agencies Of she countries foremost in ed
ucation. In Paris in 1889, the only com
plete exhibit was that OF the French
schools themselves. in Chicago in 1893,
although a great advance was made on
other expositiops. there was lacking a sat
isfactory participation on the part of
England and France and an unsatisfactory
exhibit from the States in this country.
The exposition held last year in Paris
was distinct advance in arrangement
and completeness over any other exposi-
tion ever held, but was unfortunate IN
not securing an educational exhibit OF any
kind from Germany. IL therefore remains

The architects have nearly completed
the plan for the educational building, and
1t will be definitely determined at very
early date. Action in this respect has
been suspended during the negotiations
and transfer of the university property
year and a half is none too much time
for the preparation and collection OF the
educational exhibit. and active prepara-
uons are being rushed forward. The re-
plies which have been received by the
chief OF the department thus far in ref
erence to participation are most encour-
aging and there is no anxiety felt on the
part Of the director of exhibits, or of the
chief of the department, that when the
gates of the exposition are thrown open
TO the public in 1903 the department of
education Will not be found ready TO wei
come the examination and criticism of
