Duties collected at the various
ports of the Island of Cuba for the
year ending 1900, show an increase
of one million of dollars, compared
with those collected in 1899.
This plainly shows, that the
Island is progressing under american
rule.
The constitution Of the new
Cuban Republic by which the Go
vermment is to be ruled, is already
outlined.

10 AID COFFEE GROWING
TREASURY DEPARTMENT ISSUES
REPORT.
Deals With the Industry In Hawaii,
Porto Rico, and the Philippines.
Some Figures on Imports.

All the coffee consumed in the United
States can be grown in the islands
which have been acquired since the out
break of the Spanish war. This Is the
conclusion reached by the Bureau of
Statistics of the Treasury Department
after a careful study of the coffee pro-
ducing capabilities of our new insular
possessions The islands in which coffee
can be successfully frown are Hawaii,
Porto Rico and the Philippines Porto
hIco coffee, in the markets where it is
well known, is regarded as the best IN
the world, and it is the conclusion OF
the Bureau of Statistics that when the
coffee plantations have been developed
in the Philippines and Hawaii all Of one
million dollars or more which the
United States sends abroad every week
for coffee can be expended among the
inhabitants of our own islands. Porto
Rican coffee has long commanded the
high prices in the European markets.
though it has been comparatively little
known in the United States.
The developments of coffee culture in
Hawaii during the past few years have
been very satisfactory both in quality
of the coffee produced and the prices
realized. In the Philippines the pro-
duct is of a high grade, and the fact
that the physical conditions and climate
| of the islands are very similar to those
of Japan, the greatest coffee producing
island of the world, suggests great pos
sibilities to those who desire to see
American money expended under the
American flag. The fact that the Unit
ed States is by far the greatest cofte-
consuming country of the world, and is
steadily increasing her consumption,
suggests that American capital and
energy may turn their attention To
this promising field now opened in the
islands where American enterprise can
safely enter upon business undertake
ings.
Our coffee importations during the
nine months ending with March, 1901,
amounted to 6l7344,000 pounds, with a
value of $45 21S,0 900, a sum nearly $4,000, =
600 in excess of the value of the coffee
! imports of the same months of the
preceding fiscal year, indicating that
for the full fiscal year the total value
of the coffee imported into the United
States will be about $60,00O,0 900.

TO TEACH BOYS.

1t remained for a Manchester man to
make the most unique suggestion. He
said that many boys grow up to man
hood, especially in the cities, without
knowing how TO harness. or even drive
a horse. 1t is his opinion that for a
small sum a steed of sufficiently ur-
bane disposition might be purchased
and driven about from school to school,
and the boys could practice on him.

maybe he knew the pathetic, loyal little
figure would touch the womentto tears.

laughter and tears at the same time, and
as much applause as the lovers get In
their most fetching scenes.

again in the next act. The audience
hadn't fully gotten on to her part, and
the sunbonnet baby walled that 1t was
stupid part, anyway; she wanted
speaking" part that she could make
something of. And she wouldn't go on.
Consequently the white apron baby, who
has a lot of fun with Uncle Nat all
through the play, and lots of attention
all around, doubled up" that is, she
took the sunbonnet baby's part also, the
rest of the performance The audience
began to see the point and applauded IN
the right places. The sunbonnet baby
saw the point, too, and has never yield
ed an inch to the white apron baby from
that day to this.
