COFFEE FROM BRAZIL,


Producer0 Are Contempt ntlnE a Re-
duction of Areas of Planting.
Recent news from Brazil brings the
information that the coffee producers
OF that republic are contemplating the
reduction Of the areas to be devoted to
coffee planting for the purpose of re-
stricting the coffee output and so se-
curing a large price for smaller
crop, from which there may be more
anxious demand. Whether that course
will, II adopted and persisted in, raise
the prize Of Brazilian coffee in the
United States market, which Is the
market to which the greater part Of
the coffee of Brazil finds its way Is
an experiment the outcome of which
can only be ascertained by trial The
trial may also be accommodated nv
some losses by diversion of the trade
to other countries that 1t may take
years to recover.
We get our Brazilian coffee cheaper
than that we take from other coun.
tries. For the quantity imported during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1909
reaching pretty we'll up toward a hill

The plumber is so prosperous and
useful a member of the community
that he can afford to smile at jokes
made at his expense. The latest, from
the Chicago News, represents the rich
plumber as being on his way to Eu-
rope.
On the voyage a school of whales
was sighted, and the millionaire
plumber rubbed his hands in ecstasy.
"Why is he so happy?" asked a pas,
senger.
Because" whispered the captain
"he imagines each spout is q bursted
water-pipe, to be repaired at regular
rates."

There are lots or people VINO scrupu-
lousy avoid passing under LADDER
never come to q field without imme-
diately looking for a four-leaved clover
and who invariably look out for new
moon to look at it over the right Shout
der. Having done all this religiously
they expect to be successful. II you
would succeed in life, never mind the
signs. Is 1t not better that signs should
fail than that you should? Here are
you and the world, face-to-face. The
laws of the universe are not going to
become imperative for single second
on your account. For uncounted GEN.
turtles the world and human life have
been evolving in strict accordance with
fixed laws and you must not imagine
that the machinery Of the universe Is
going to slip a cog because you con-
front 1t, because you see a new moon
over your left shoulder, or because OF
a four-leaved clover. The world doesn't
work that way. OF far more import
ance to you than your view of the
moon is your view Of the world and of
life. However you may look at 1t, the
moon is always there just the same
and so Is the world. Look at it as you
will, the world will not swerve a mil
lionth part of a hairs breadth out of
Its orbit, nor will its ways. If you and
the world don't seem exactly fitted to
each other, don't attempt to make over
the world. That's too big job. Try
making over yourself. Lop of some Of
your conceit and selfshness round out
some Of your vacuums of ignorance.
Here are you and the world, face-to-
face You are incapable of expert
encing worldly wants that the world
cannot supply. The world holds ev-
erything that you can need for success
and happiness But the world won't
give them four-leaved clover. Ener-
gy and intellect can accomplish any
thing. Your possibilities, with these.
are practically without Limitation. The
best places in all lines are ever open.
The pearly gates Of success still swing
upon their silver hinges to him who
will but rightly apply the golden key OF
effort. The young man who idly waits
for his lucky chance to turn up Is sure
to be disappointed All chances worth
having are created To the man not
fitted for them they are not chances
at all. The man must come prepared
to the opportunity, as the steel to the
flint. The man Of soft iron may be
cast against the flints of life quite as
often as Is the man Of steel, but he
never strikes the fire that the man OF
steel does-he Is merely worn away
against the very edge of opportunity
And get rid Of the superstition called
advantage" 1t Is as delusive al
faith In the moon. There is no ad
vantage but in superior character. Cir
cumstances are but its creatures.

Professor Goodwin Smith

Professor Goodwin Smith, who Is
mentally alert at 81, attributes his
long life to the fact that he was not
overworked when he was at school,
He began life with a weak constitu-
ton, and the absence of any forcing
system during his early years, he be-
neves, gave him opportunity to &C.
quire the strength which has been
usefully expended in many directions
since. There is both suggestion and
comfort here for those parents whose
children must advance slowly because
they are not strong.

ever. Newport, however, Is just now
paying too much attention to foreign
lords. BY marrying European noble
men, American girls are laying them
selves liable to the ridicule Of the
whole world.
"The marriage Of Miss Goelet to
the Duke Of Roxburghe Is the latest
piece Of this sort of folly. They paid
down 100000 to do it. OF course
the Duke is not as bad as some for
eigners who have married American
girls, for he has some money, about
100000 year. but that is not much
for people in his station. l think IL
very foolish"

The associations Of the guiilotine are
so grim that the mere sound of the
word almost causes one to shudder.
But a merciful use of the instrument
does something to relieve it of it's
dread import. The Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has
installed in the market Of Gottenborg,
Sweden, a guillotine for the decapita-
ton Of fowl. The public bought the
equipment, and the process will be
an object lesson in the humane execu-
ton of a necessary and sometimes a
cruelty performed task.
