Coffee and Tea.

From the New York Merchants Review
Surprising that the nations coffee cup
held exactly half a pint of beverage, It
would have to be filled 25,92O, 600 times
each year in order to accom- modate the
coffee consumers OF the country. The fig
ures are too large to be easily grasped.
but they are sufficiently large to strain the
ordinary mind little even when reduced
to gallons. Fully 1,620000,000 gallons OF
coffee are infused in the nations coffee pot
and poured into the nations coffee cup
each year, but what meaning does that
huge total convey to the average consumer?
Figuring on a percapita basis we find that
there is enough liquid coffee poured into
the nations half-pint cup to give each man,
woman and child In the United States 345
cups of the aromatic infusion in the year.
Is 1t not trade to be proud of, We gro
GERS? Is it not worth cultivating? Yet
coffee congress Is to be held here next
month for the purpose of finding out what
is the matter with coffee The tea trade In
bulk is about cne-third the dimensions of
the coffee trade, and the haif-pint cup
has to be filed only . 500, 100000 times with
tea liquor in order to accommodate the
American people. That means great deal
of tea, though. 1t means 123 cups for ey-
cry man. woman and child N the United
States each year.

SEA ANEMONES.
Some New Specimens at New York
Aquarium.

their long resting place by the dock depart
ment is an occurrence of which the officials
of the aquarium are glad to have foreknowl-
edge. The piles are favorite resting place
for sea anemones. Many tasty morsel Of
the food of which they are fond Is sucked
through between the piles by the tides AS
they ebb and flow. A few days ago Mr..
Spencer, the superintendent of the aqua
rum. received word from the dock depart
ment that there was to be pile pulling
sbee," and, armed with receptacles for his
game. he hurried off to the scene. He came
back with nearly hundred specimens of
sea anemones representing two or three
different species
Mr.. Townsend the new director of the
aquarium, said a few days ago that one Of
the possibilities Of the aquarium was q
better exhibition of invertebrates. At the
present time there are few specimens of this
division of the animal kingdom to be seen at
the aquarium. This Is not because there are
no representative of this form of life at the
AQUARIUM, but because there are no facili-
ties for showing them. Upstairs in the
lecture room over the entrance are num-
Der of round glass jars ranged along on a
shelf in front Of the windows, containing
sea anemones, in length from half an inch
to several inches. These eyeless things.

Indian Summer.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Indian summer is upon us. What is it?
Whence its origin? Able men have studied
the problem to no purpose. For ninety
years the controversy has ragged. We dote
upon the brief season so termed from one
end of the country to the other without
exactly understanding it. Albert Matthews,
who has been studying the question these
twelve years, gives it up. His essay, COW
ering fifty-two pages, with copious notes,
appears to be quite exhaustive. l am
warned not to quarrel with him. as he is
fighter from way back. But has he for
gotten our ancient friend Shawondasee the
spirit, or manitto, that dwelIs in the south,
an aff1uent plethoric old man, whose eyes
are always directed toward the north?
Shawondasee means in Indian mythology
Spirit of the south wind" In the au-
tumn, when he signs, the northern land is
filled with warm and delightful air, the
earth is calm, the morning sun is like
cherry the evening sun like a poker chip,
the midday sun wears a veil; the golden
Indian summer springs forth from his short
sleep to gladden. the eyes with beauty as it
breaks over the sea and land.

Autumn's Gorgeous Dyes.

+
While the marshes are glowing with the
tints Of red, copper and gold. and on
mountain side or in swamps a single tree
is relieved against the autmnal foliage like
a steadily burning fame of orange or Grim
son, the scientist is puzzling his brain as
to the why and wherefore of these colors
that vie successfully with the gorgeous
hues of sunset. He is not content to be-
lieve that bush and tree, creeper and grass
feel the approach of death and like the
dolphin spend their last energies In corus-
cation of colors. Patiently and coldly he
analyses the green leaf and the red, In or
der to ascertain what new OF changed ele-
ments those are which produce such star
Ting alterations in the foliage In some parts
of the world, while in others there is no
change greater than the gradual turn into
the sere and yellow leaf.
On this coast 1T is readily observed that
the inland foliage takes on colors incom-
parably more vivid and sumptuous In tone
than that on the Seaboard. There is some
thing In the ocean air. We say, that pre-
vents the full change into brilliant autumn
colors. And inland We find that a mountain

Cost Of Living.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
1t seems to cost a great deal to live now
adays. Most persons notice it, especially
persons who are hard put to it to find the
money to pay their bills, The statisticians
report that commodities in general use cost,
on an average, abouts10 per cent more than
they did year ago.es The rise in the price
of meat contributes great deal to this
advance, though bfeadstuffs have been
high, too. Articles of luxury like good
clothes and country houses have grown
dearer in Professionalism most articles OF
necessity, because the huge influx Of money
that the country has sustained has made
a brisk market fors}iuxuries. Rents are
higher; housesH costs more; servants get
higher wages board1is higher at summer
hotels Another thing that counts for a
great deal Is tffat In prosperous times like
these the incomes of very many people are
increased and their expenditures are pro-
portionately amplified They spend more
money live more mxuriously and raise the
standard of living. The living expenses of
any given family are very much affected
by the expenses Of lbther families of their
aeuuaintance,, and she scale of living of
"ether families seems just now to have
become inconveniently liberal There is
nothing that we are reader to share than
our economies. IT. Is easier to economize
when 1t Is the fashion. Just now prodi-
gality Is so conspicuously prevalent that 1t
has became more or less epidemic

A BANK STORY.
An Incident That Startled the Old
Lady of Threadneedle Street

From the st. James Gazette.
Some years ago the directors of the Bank
of England were startled to receive an in<
vitatton to meet unknown man in the
strong room of the bank at midnight. You
think you Is all safe hand you bank is safe,
the last mite hand you nose noffn about it.
But am mott a theaf, so hif yer will nett
NEE in the great squar room, with all the
moneys, at twelf mite, lie explain orl ID
you, let only thor cum down, and say
muffin to nobody The strong room was
guarded the next night in spite of dspo.
sition to regard the letter as hoax ly pos
lice and-nothng happened.
The next phase of the mystery was mora
astonishing than ever. A heavy chest OF
papers and securities taken from the strong
room arrived at the bank, with letter,
complaining that the directors had set the
police upon the writer, and that he had.
therefore not appeared as he promised, but
to prove that he was neither thief nor a
fool he sent a chest of papers he had taken
from the bank. Let a few gentlemen be
alone in the room and he would join them
at midnight, said the writer, and to cut
short a long and strange chapter Of bank
history, a man with a dark lantern burst
into the strong room of the bank at mid
night after calling from behind the stone
walls for the directors to put out the lights.
He was one of strange class of men no
gained a living by searching the sewers at
night, and through an opening from
sewer he had found his way into the rich
est room In the world.

COUNTRY WOMAN WON
By Bringing an Invention to the
Metropolis.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
While good many women are branching
out into new fields these days and some are
gaining no inconsiderable amount of fame
and money the result, there a few
clever members of the sex who are content
to WOO fortune in old-fashioned ways. One
of these quiet little women has within the
past six years made fortune from selling
cake OF course, it is homemade cake, aHd,
furthermore, the baker clings to certain va
reties in the preparation of which she Is
particularly skilled. She is a country-bred
woman, and lived in little village in this
state until seven eight years ago. She
was known a good cook in a district
where it is considered almost disgrace for
a housewife not to be a good cook. Her
specially was cake, and as she is endowed
with more than average allotment of in-
telligence and not little talent for inveD~
ton, she devised a cake tin that ima
provement over anything that had been pro-
duced before in the vicinity. She was
shrewd enough to patent her invention, then
she set about getting her patent before the
public. Her husband came to her assist
ance here, and a trial was made with the
village folk The new cake tin took Then
the large towns in the vicinity were tried
with an encouraging degree of success, and
the county fairs gave another opening.
After year or so the woman was advised
to come to New York. and luckily secured
a good opening. She has been here ever
since, just making and selling cakes and
exploiting that patented tin. She employs
several assistants. her husband finds ID
profitable to give all his time to managing
the details of the business, and trade is
stantly increasing. If any one doubts that
there is demand for homemade cake in
this city a visit to the little shop of this
cakemaker will convince him or her to the
contrary. Half a dozen varieties comprise
the output, and the cakes are not cheap by
any means. They are good and they are In
demand, and it is not unusual during the
middle. of the day to find double OF
women around the counter in the little shop
waiting to give orders. 1t is wise woman
who knows wherein her talents lie these
days. and in most cases she reaps a profit
from the understanding Of her talents and
her limitations.

COPYRIGHT AND RETAIL TRADE.
Various Applications Of the Law to
Insure Monopolies.

From the New York Evening Post.
Every merchant aims at being a monopo-
list, and is willing to avail himself of any
system that will prevent competition. Of
late years this tendency has found express
sion in a practice which has given profita-
bic employment to lawyers and any amount
of trouble to enterprising manufacturers.
This consists in taking advantage of the lib
eral laws of patent right, copyright and
trade mark which are so important fea-
ture of modern Jurisprudence. A man in
vents new and valuable substance. This
he protects with a patent, but as the SUBJ
stance may be manufactured by some other
process not covered by his patent, his in
vention Is at the mercy of a second posi-
BILE inventor. To get over this he copy
rights and trademarks the name of his in
vention, either plain and simple in con-
nection with arbitrary words and charac
tiers. He Is now In an impregnable posi-
ton. If inventor comes along and dis
covers a superior method for doing the
same thing himself nevertheless the lat
ter cannot advertise the product nor even
call it by the name given by the first.
downtown druggist commented upon the
topic as follows: $50 far as l know. the
first time this new system was brought be-
fore the public was when the mineral jelly
in coal oils was separated and purified The
new substance was called vaseline, and Ii
proved invaluable to the community. The
name VaSellne was copyrighted, ana Al
though it was in the dictionary and is a
recognized word the world over, it is
private property of a manufacturing cor
poration. Other chemists discovered veri-
Gus methods of isolating the substance, and
quite a number used the same name. Just
after they had built up a nice little bust
ness they received injunction papers, and
were obliged to discontinue the use OF the
word vaseline and in its stead put in such
words as cosmoline. petroline, petroleum
ielly petrolatum and petrol paste They
had to pay damages for infringement, as
I remember in addition to which all the
time and money they had expended in ad-
vertising their vaseline went to the benefit
of the copyright owners.
"A similar course Of action has marked
listerine which was formulated by Sir Jo-
seph Lister the great English surgeon who
lately was the senior physician in the illness
of the King of England. His prepare ton
was tentative and. being combination
of FIVE or six elements, received its present
name very appropriately, but listerne was
copyrighted and Is also private property.
Since that time some eight CT ten COM
pounds have been produced of probably
equal value but considerably cheaper.
None of them. however, has achieved the
vogue of the original. Each runs along UNI
der some fanciful pedantic or chemical
name that in itself is enough to frighten
sick man. Our German friends have car
ried this practice so far that English and
American chemists and druggists are afraid
to start any manufacturing without first
consulting an international lawyer and hav-
ing searches made in various patent offices
in the new world and the old.
