CONSUMPTION OF COFFEE.
One Billion Pounds Annually Used by
the People of the United states
-Increased Importation.

Coffee is now consumed by the
people of the United States to the
amount of one billion pounds annual
ly. Since 1894 the imports have more
than doubled, and within the same
period the per capita consumption
has increased four pounds, the gain
being greater than that made by any
article used as beverage. A divi-
sion of this 1000, ,oO0, 900 pounds among
the inhabitants of the country gives
to each man, woman and child
about 14Hs pounds.
For family of Ave persons this
would mean one pound each five
days, or 73 pounds year. A fair
average price for coffee Of good
grade, at retail, is 20 cents per
pound, involving an annual ex-
penditure for this bean which
delights the palate, aids digestion
and makes the user thankful for the
pleasures of the table, to the amount
of s14.6O. This would make the an
nual expenditure of the people of the
United States for coffee alone ex-
ceed $500, 100000, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Imports for 1901 reach the grand
.totalo of 1,o72,Ooe,1s2 pounds. In 1902
there was a slight decrease, the
amount being s55,2sa,s1s pounds, max
ing the annual average for the two
years 1,013,646, $50 pounds. The source
of this supply, together with the per-
centage of the total import contrib
uted by each country, is shown in the
following table. The figures are off,

Danger is by no means an attrac-
ton to the true mountaineer. Some
people may SO affirm, but scarcely ever
does an expert place himself in dan
gerous situation, and il he does il is not
from choice, and he does not like it.
Sometimes he may take risk, but sell
dom, unless all the chances are in favor
of the climbing party and the possibil-
ity of accident exceedingly remote.
What he does love is to eliminate by
experience and skill all danger from
a climb, which, to novice. clumsy
worker or party nnsupplied with or
neglecting to use proper equipment
for mountaineering, would be hazard

READING THE FUTURE.

Craft and Peer Into the Hidden
Mysteries of Life,

Ever since Saul proved the incon-
sistency of man by rushing off to con-
suit the Witch of Endor after taking
severe measures to exterminate witch
craft, there has been universal cray
ing to pierce the veil that hides from
us the good and evil of the future,'
says writer in the Ladies' Field.
THE craving for the knowledge of
what the future holds is turned to ac-
count by thousands of persons in
every generation, who claim super
natural powers of vision and prophecy.
Astrology is perhaps the most i'm
pressive form Of so-called 'divination'
possibly there is something inspir-
ing in the thought of ones destiny be-
ing guided by star. But there is moth
ing sublime about greasy pack OF
cards in the stuffy parlor of a house
in dingy street, which is the environ
ment of the modern sybil. Yet every
day her rooms are crowded with silly
women, whose carriages wait round
the corner while they themselves sit
shivering in rows for their turn to
have their destinies revealed to them.

they will tell you laughingly-.but

cHIcAGo's NUT QUEEN.
Clever Italian Woman Of the Gnrden
City Has Won Control of tho
Western Market.

To work hard, always, and put for
ward the best efforts possible, to be
pleasant, no matter what happens. and
to tell the truth to every person and
under all circumstances.
This is the unspoken but well lived
business creed and platform of Mrs.
Celeste Calamari, the Chicago Italian
woman who has won more than local
fame for really remarkable business
feat. And Mrs. Calamari has found
this platform not only lucrative, but
trustworthy from the start, reports
the Chicago Tribune.
But few years ago Mrs. Calamari,
who practically controls the nut mar
ket OF Chicago, started out in business
with less than IS for capital, with lit
tie experience, with every thing to
learn. She bought her nuts by the
bushel and half bushel lots at that
time. Now she buys nine or ten car
loads every little while. More than
$4,000 did she spend for nuts in the
season Immediately preceding the holt
days. Similarly large figures might
be truthfully quoted from her business
accounts several times year. Mrs.
Calamari attributes all her success TO
the business principles just quoted,
and to which she devotedly adheres.
Modest, retiring, anxious to avoid
anything like publicity or personal
notoriety, the woman who now takes
SO keen delight in the business in
which she has distanced all compet-
itors entered the business arena less
because Of natural taste or leaning in
this direction than for stern neces-
sity's sake.
When the care of her dearly loved
and aged parents devolved upon her
she cast about for some way of earn
ing their support. The wholesale nut
business seemed to her to offer an
opening, so in she started in fearless
fashion and with brave and determined
spirit. 1t was hard and uphill work
often and setbacks were many. But
Mrs. Calamari had set her heart ON
attaining success and success came to
her. Nowadays she might carry on a
business even larger than she does
but for the fifth plank in her business
platform. She does not care to UNDER
take business too large for the per-
sonal supervision of all it's branches.
She will not begin matters of which
she cannot see the end.
Even as it is, the devoted woman
works early and late and continually.
Opportunity and time for family as
soclations and enjoyments she will
take, always; she lunches at home
every day of her life. But time for
friends, recreation-never! So large
is the market she controls, SO far
reaching the necessities, correspond
ence and duties of the same that but
few minds. perhaps, could grasp and
grapple with the situation, alone and
unaided. at least as regards the mental
division OF the work. But Mrs. Gala
mari, who is as daintily attractive and
feminine as she is business like in man.
ner. manages to work at all times and
seasons, to carry a thousand perplex-
ing, puzzling problems in her ready
brain, and still keep in good health,
CHEEKY and smiling. Her fine dark
itaiian eyes are always alight with
happy thought.

Il will be observed that from the

05 per cent. of the entire imports.
Brazil furnished over so per cent. of

can, thanks to the enterprise of the
American grocer, be obtained at any
and all stores selling coffee.
Coffee sells at wholesale at from
sA cents to SO cents per pound fol-
the green or unroasted article, the
former being the lowest grade of Rit
and the latter the best Java. A fail
average price is around IS to 1s cents
pound. The range of prices on the
roasted article is about the same as on
the green and the average near the
same figure, perhaps two cents to
three cents higher. In roasting there
is shrinkage of about Is per cent,
and for roasting charge of about sc
cents per bag of 100 pounds. The ar
ticle is also sold ground or pulverized
and in broken grains, siftings or
crushed. In whatever form desired
it is packed in bulk, cans or packages
to suit the wishes of the retailer, who
finds it among the most profitab BILE ar
ticles of merchandise. The profit va.
ries from 25 per cent. to 40 per cent :,
and, like sugar, it is staple with a
regular and steady sale which yields
handsome return.
As substitute for and adulterant
of coffee chicory easily leads the list.
1t is largely grown in European coun-
tries and in some localities takes the
place of the coffee bean entirely. In
other lands it is used in connection

THE TALK OF WAR

High Russian Officials, However, Deplore-Rus-
STA Strong in the East.

Port Arthur, Thursday, July 9, via
Che Foo-The visit of all the prominent
Russian officials in China, Manchuria
and Korea to this place is strictly a
business one, and in no way junket.
The local officials had arranged an
elaborate programme, covering the
week, for the entertainment of the Wis
itors, but after a review of $1,000 troops
on the race track, Gen. Kuropatkin, the
Russian Minister of War, announced
that the remainder of the visit must be
devoted to work.
Gen. Kuropatkin presides daily over
long conferences, which it is expected,
will continue until July IA.
When questioned regarding the pur-
pose of the meeting the officials pres
ent explained that Minister Kuropat-
kin desired to obtain the fullest infor-
nation concerning Russia's interests
and work in the Far East, and natural
~ requested the officials to meet him,
since it was impossible that he should
visit all of them. 1t is intimated that
one important question to be discussed
is the matter of the consolidation Of

possessions in the Far East under one

The presence of a British squadron
at Wei-hai-Wei and of American war

EDTsON'S FIRST INVENTION.

u Caused Him to Give Up n Job and
Seek other Fields.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
A statement that has been going the
rounds of the press of late. relative to
the great number of inventions patent
ed by Thomas A. Edison, makes no
mention of his first labor saving de-
vice, which, though it cost him dearly,
was never sent to the Patent Office or
placed upon the market though it
did the work for which it was de-
signed perfectly.
This invention, forgotten by all save
a few old telegraph opera tors and the
wizard himself, was thought out in
the days when Mr. Edison earned his
daily bread operating the Boston New
York night wire of what is now the
Western Union Telegraph Company
The pay was not particularly large, but
the work was light, so light that New
York, in order to make sure that the
man on the Hub end of the wire was
attending to business, arranged for him
to call up every hour after midnight
give his official call and sign it, it be-
ing argued that this would keep him
awake. 1t. did keep Edison awake
for few weeks. Then he set about
utilizing his spare time on a device
which would beat the smart ones"
who ruled the New York office
The result was all that could be ex-
pected from Mr.. Edison's successes in
later life. 1t was an arrangement of
a battery with a clock and a circuit
breaking instrument, which at the
proper time would give New York the
looked for signals. For weeks it was
the marvel of Mr. Edison's friends that
he got along with so little sleep. Then
the denouement came in the form of
call for Boston from New York with
a very important message. Though
Boston had signalled but a few mo-
ments before, it was found impossible
to raise" that city when it was neces-
sary to send the message. Nearly an
hour later the New York operator was
pounding away when the circuit was
opened and the sounder gave off 'Bn.
Ed Q. X Immediately the call for
Boston was renewed. but no answer
came for an hour, when the magic sig
nal was again repeated. All night long
the wire was watched. and when morn
ing came the manager at Boston was
asked to explain the mystery.
The manager, canny Scot, knew a
thing or Two. or, at least he thought
he did. and without saying a word to
anybody, examined the clock and Ed
ison's locker, finding there the teItale
wires and mechanism. That night,
when the future wizard showed UP for
work, he found that the manager had
decided to give him "30"-which in
telegra piers talk spells discharged
Edison knew well enough what he
was discharged for, and so left the
next day for New York and the career
which has since made his name a
household word the world over
