The production of Java coffee is
steadily falling off. Indeed, the gov
eminent is gradually giving up the cul-
tivation of coffee, finding the profits
small in comparison with former
years, and in the near future the crop
will be entirely in the hands of private
planters. OF late the business has been
SO unremunerative that many coffee
estates have been turned into tea
farms.-Trade Journal.

ME ways OF Providence are in
deed inscrutable. Iconoclasts
of every age and country have
denied, with vituperation and vehem-
ence, the possibility of miracles, and
yet every day God works wonders that
are beyond the comprehension of the
human brain. twenty-five years ago
Prince Otto of Bavaria became a raw
ing maniac and had to be confined in
the castle of Fuerstenried. He imag-
ined himself to be either dog or pig,
would not allow himself to be touched
and lay for days on the floor kicking
his heels. His clothes were never
changed until they fell to pieces. In
the few semi-lucid intervals of his life
he was the victim of acute melancholia,
at others of homicidal mania. Disease
In its most loathsome form took hold
of him, and his physical collapse
seemed inevitable.

called, has been cut down in the on

1t is natural that all lovers of beau

But Father Galtier, who in reality
gave our city the name Of st. Paul,
perhaps nver thought much of or no

its site, his mind was, it maybe, too
filled with matters of religion and more
vital affairs than this. Though he
seems to have taken the naming of the
city to heart good deal, and to have

several other names that were sug-
gested, and have persistently and de-

terminedly insisted that it should be
called st. Paul s-not st. Paul as it is
today-but st. Paul's.
His reasons, as given by the Rev.
Father McNulty in his book on Faith
er Gaitier," are stated somewhat as
follows
He was already carrying on the work
at st. Peters, now Mendoza, and he
thought as the work Of st. Peter and
st. Paul, the apostles, had been so
closely connected and the two missions
at st. Peters and across here were so
closely united. 1t was only fitting, too,
that the name OF the second should be
st. PauPs. Here in his own words, as
given in the life of this self sacrificing
missionary just published by the Rev.
Ambrose McNuIty all his reasons for
selecting this particular site and de-
string this particular name are clearly
given. He says:
Houses Are Removed.

st. Paul Solidly Seated on Seven Hills.

A modern Rome is St Paul, for, like
the Eternal City, it too is set on seven
hills. So striking is it's topography
in this regard that it is remarkable
that those devoted missionaries who
first saw the present site of our West
ern metropolis did not at once name it
Rome
1t may be that more or less uncon-
sciously Father Galtier, or more cor
rectly, the Rev. Lucien Galtier, that
humble, yet intrepid missionary, when
he sailed up the Mississippi from ST.
Louis. that lovely April day in 1910
was influenced by this fact, as he gaz-
ed from the deck of the vessel as it
swept UP the noble curves and bends
Of the Great Father of Waters. He
saw, perhaps, with that subconscious
mind whose workings we so little I'M
derstand, the resemblance between
these cleaning heights and seven hills
and that great city to which the eyes
Of all Christendom, whether Catholic
or Protestant, constantly turn.
Seemingly he was never satisfied to
settle down at Mendoza, then st. Pc
ter's, but ever Ionged to build here his
church, that first church which was
later to develop into the Cathedral and
which he even before it's erection al
ways spoke of as the Cathedral with
that touching faith so often found in
these unworldly men.

New York, Nov 24.-The cold, wet
weather in the Southwest appears to
have scared foreign shorts, whose buy
ing early in the day was large enough
to advance local prices sharply. Trad
ing opened on an active scale and it
was soon evident that bear ranks were
being weakened. The best statis-
ticians saw nothing to justify any such
ridiculous figures for the crop as have
been insisted upon for some time. Re-
garding temperature the matter of
killing frost attracts no more than
usual notice 1t is taken for granted
that the crop has made all that is pos
sible under best conditions and that
the total yield win prove nothing more
than moderate. At all events the
chances are most decidedly that no
more will be received than will be re-
quired. Misleading accounts having
