The Modest American.

A Philadelphia woman, who in a
patronizing way has for years been
interested in working girls and at
one time served as president of the
American branch of the Girls
Friendly society, has been spending
some time in London. Not long
since the London branch of the
Friendly society held convention,
and the American woman received
an invitation to IA reception.
Accompanied by maid and wear
ing gorgeous array of diamonds,
madam ventured to the hall and
was received by several plainly clad
members of English nobility, who
were assisting the girls by acting as
hostesses. Not recognizing the
name, one of them asked in a quiet
manner, "Pardon me, but do you
belong to the Friendly society?"
"Belong to it," exclaimed the
American. "Why, in America |
used to be the president of the
whole thing" = Philadelphia Rec

chIseI.IIke Teeth of the Squirrel.

Quite often some one will ask,
"How do squirrels break nuts 2" II
the walnuts under a tree where a
squirrel has its nest are examined, it
will be seen that they have two
small holes drilled in each side. The
instruments which can cut into the
hard shells of seasoned walnuts must
be strong and well adapted to their
work. The front teeth of the squir-
rels are indeed wonderful chisels
and cut into the walnuts with great
rapidity. You have often seen squir-
rels sitting on their hind legs busily
engaged in cutting into nuts, but
no doubt you have never seen how
the teeth are formed.
In mans teeth the soft dentine is
in the interior and composes the
greater part of their bulk. It is
covered with the hard, strong enam-
el which protects it from wearing
away in chewing. The enamel on
squirrels tooth is all on the front
and the dentine makes up the rest
Of the tooth. When a squirrel cuts
with its sharp teeth the soft dentine
wears away faster than the hard
front of the enamel, and the top OF
the tooth is chisel shaped, lower in
the rear and coming to sharp edge
in front. Thus squirrel really
keeps its teeth sharp by using them.

Poor Billy Rice.

William II. Crane, the comedian,
is known in the theatrical profess
sion as very careful, saving man.
Some years ago, while looking over
some old bills. he came across a
memorandum calling for S. from
the late Billy Rice.
Thrifty as is his wont, Crane
dropped an immediate line to Rice
in Chicago directing his attention
to the existence of the | o U and
suggesting a transfer of the proper
collateral. 1t reached Rice at a
time when he was already down

Crane, "what could you possibly do

Senator Elkins' erea. Mistake.

Senator Eikins of West Virginia
is the storm center of fierce fac
tional fight of leading colleges. The
senator has one son ut Princeton,
another at Harvard and third at
the University of Pennsylvania
These three brothers are constantly
at war over the merits of their re-
spective institutions. They make
bets with one another on their foot
ball, baseball and track teams, and,
no matter what the outcome, the
senator. is always called upon by
the defeated brother to pay.
He said the other day that it was
the greatest mistake he had ever
made to send his boys to different
colleges. He remarked that if he
had it to do over again he would
send them all to the same institu-
ton, thus keeping peace in the fam
lily and money in his pocket.

QUITE A COMPLIMENT

Jos. w. Milsom had a handsome
compliment paid his skill and knowl-
edge of county affairs recently. The
Ell Paso commissioners desired an
expert to examine their books of the
county officers. They had applications
for the job from number OF noted
experts, all of which they turned
down and sought out Mr.. Nilsson,
offering him the work. Although Mr..
Milsom was offered many handso me
inducements to take up the work, he
felt that in the long run it would
pay him to push his business here.
The Ell Paso commissioners had
found out what a great many people
here know, that for an expert OF
county business affairs, there is none
in the state more competent than Joe
Milsom.

AN ARTIST ON ARTISTS.

Edwin A. Abbey declares that
American artists like to live abroad
because lnere is less hustle aud bus
tie there. He adds: "An artists
feelings and temperament seem to
be understood, and people are not
eternally bothering him to do some
thing in certain fixed time. Peo-
pie of other countries do not criti-
else their artists for living in IA for
eign land. Many Frenchmen go to
Italy or England. Swedes and Eng
lishmen go to France, and so on.
Besides, England is peculiarly favor
able to my particular work. The
older civilization of that country
makes it possible to lead "A quiet and
reasonable life. An artist is very
impressionable, and these things
have an important bearing on his
work"
In answer to the question wheth-
er marriage is fatal to the highest
artistic success Mr. Abbey replied: ::
81 think that theory is rubbish.
Probably it originates with men
who are unhappily married"

It was the old coffee expert who spoke
"a man Of thirty years experience IN the
traic-And he spoke with the fervor and
conviction Of one who knows.
1.-THE way In which the retail consumer
is charged for coffee is a veritsble swindle,"
no said to a New York Post reporter.
lone Of the worst swlndles, / should say,
that any trade can show. Coffee still brings
as much at retail as II did when the green
berries cost twice as much as they do now.
II all comes, of course. from the habit Of
grocers and the like to exact big profits on
tea and coffee, while selling staples like
hour and sugar close at cost. For their
best collector the commodity they always
call Java and Mocha'-the corner grocer
charges 80 to IS cents a pound. 1t costs
them at the outside, roasted, 10 to 20 cents
q pound. Only lately have the department
stores and one or two Of the great gro
Gerry houses cut loose from this practice.
They are selling Just as good an article
frequently, indeed, much better a coffee
than the common run Of grocers keep-for
20 to rs cents a pound. Considering the
amounts they dispose of. they are making
enormous profits at that.
Here, you understand, / am talking Of
the trade in the east, the better class OF
trade. In the eastern states generally the
consumers demand a better grade Of cof-
fee than is drunk in the south and west,
though the latter sections show a larger
consumption, in proportion to population.
than does the east. Here a mild coffee is
preferred; there the taste runs to the
stronger grades. There, in other words,
Brazil cofees are the sorts chiefly In de-
mand; they are the strongest, as they are
the cheapest. Then cheapness, further
more, prompts the- use of the Brazil
growths by those who prepare the so-called
package c%ofees, which cost about 5K
cents green, lose about 10 per cent In
roasting and cost the proprietors Of the
brands about Z cents q pound ready for
the retail market, in which they sell for
about 10 cents a pound.
Including all the grades sent from tina
county, the coffees Of Brazil form about rs
per cent of the total imports Of the berry
into the United States. The bulk of the
trade In this growth. however, is in coffee
somewhat better than that used for the
package, brands, coffees costing, say, 10 to Il
cents a pound, roasted, or a little less
green. for when not glazed or roasted in
large quantities the raw commodity suffers
a shrinkage Of about 16 per cent, more or
less. In preparation for the mill. or Bra
Ellis, the Santos coffee form about so pei
cent Of the total brought into this country,
the Rio 20 per cent. the Bahias 10 per cent
and the Victorias perhaps 8 per cent.

THE mild ~coffees, coffees which have
mere or less body and the hnSr havofs, as
distinguished from the Brazil ~coffees, of
which the chief characteristic is strength,
are Of various kinds. First. perhaps, one
must cite the Javas; then, with COMPARE
tive indifference as to order, the Maracai-
Dos Guatemalas, Costa Ricos, Porto Ricos,
Mexicans, Bogotas and Mochas. OF Javas not
nearly so much comes to this country as In
times past, while Bogotas and Mexlcans are
In growing demand. Porto Rico coffee is
coming into wider favor, too. while the Inn
ports of Mocha show some falling on.
1.-The mere recital Of the qualities Of these
coffees and the prices at which they sell at
wholesale green will be enough, probably,
to bear out the contention that the consumer
who buys at retail buys his coffee much too
dear. AXE Javas. for instance. Generally
speaking, the brew from that berry lacks
body, though it has a delicate flavor. Java
must be mixed with Mocha to give the de-
coction SUFFICIENT body. The two together
make a blend pleasing to the palate OF the
dweller in the eastern states. and hence,
from the time hat much more Java was
brought than now, there has survived the
tradition, hallowed for every grocery mans
heart, that the best coffee is Java and
Mocha. What the ordinary grocer sells for
this, however, is far more likely to be Mar
acaibo, a nice ordinary coffee from Vene-
zuela, OF fair flavor and body, which sells
green at from s to 1oh cents a pound.
eff one Is to buy real Java, he must pay
for the green berry between Is and 20
cents a pound, the latter being the price
for fancy grades, some of them from the
Dutch government plantations. or from
well-krcwn private estates. New York
experts are inclined to think the higher
values are all in the name;' that the
coffee itself hasn't the merit to warrant
the price.
1.-THE quantity OF Mocha used here is also
small. Little Of the wild coffee Of Arabia
leaves the port of Yemen for the United
States, and even such importations as there
are made are being cut down by an in
creased use OF Bourbon Santos coffee,
grown from Mocha seed planted in Santos,
and generally esteemed as good as Mocha,
while costing considerably less.
"of the other mild %coffees, the Bogotas,
from the Magdalene river valley Of Colom-
bia, and the Porto Ricos, both have a flavor
which is fine, although positive, and at the
same time that body which coffee drinkers
in this section OF the country require.
Each OF these is growing In favor at the
expense Of Java coffee, although the Bo-
gotas, SO far, have come into wider use
than the Porto RLcos. OF Porto Rico coffee,
