anything done on it a rise comes

expense and delay incident has
been very vexatious.

Before Brian could make up his
mind what to say, they came upon
a brood of duck-lings. and his shout
of delight told them the sight was
new to him.
Then the chickens and the gos-lings
and the little pigs. all were fresh
and delightful to the city boy. and
his cousins were as happy as he.
But his rosy cheeks grew saade

You reply by naming some city you

You answer Boston.
No, l reply; Boston is too far

Future Sources of Coffee.

According to the treasury bureau OF
statistics, the people of the United
States are sending out of the country
more than $1,000,000 week in pay
ment for coffee consumed in this coun.
try, all of which could be readily pro-
duced in Porto Rico. Hawaii and the
Philippine Islands, which have already
shown their ability to produce coffee
of a high grade, commanding good
prices in the markets of the world.
Porto Rican coffee has long been
looked upon as OF high grade, and
for many years has commanded high
prices in the markets of Europe; and
the developments of coffee culture in
Hawaii during the past few years have
also been very satisfactory in the
quality of coffee produced and the
prices realized. In the Philippines the
product is of high grade, and the fact
that in physical conditions and clim-
ate the islands are very similar to
Java, the greatest coffee producing
region of the world, suggests great
possibilities to those who desire to see
American money expended under the
American flag The fact that the
United States is by far the greatest
coffee consuming country in the
world, and is steadily increasing her
consumption, further suggests that
American capital and energy may turn
their attention to this promising field

Sovereign of Greater Erit.in.

1t appears to be in contemplation
to give King Edward title more wor-
thy of his actual position than that of
king, and the one that seems to find
most favor in the discussion is "Sov-
ereign of Greater Britain" This
would give him distinction over all
the other rulers of the earth, since it
would raise an indefinite title to a
position of commanding definiteness,
as the addition of "the" to an Irish
name marks the head of the house;
when allusion was made to "the SOW
ereign" it would be understood that
the Sovereign of Greater Britain alone
was meant How the other sovereigns
would take such an assumption of SUI

Some Time,

Last night, my darling, as you slept,
1 thought heard you sigh,
And to your little crib 1 crept,
And watched a space thereby;
Then, bending down, kissed your brow
For oh, love you so!
You are too yoang to know it now,
But some time you shall know.
Some time when in darkened place
Where others come to weep,
Your eyes shall see weary face
Calm in eternal sleep;
The speeches. lips, the wrinkled brow,
The patient smile may show;
You are too young to know it now,
But some time you shall know.
Look backward then into the years
And see me here tonight
See, oh my darling, how my tears
Are falling as I write!
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss of long ago
You are too young to know it now,
But some time you shall know.
