How Coffee Is Grown.

Tradition traces the origin of coffee
to the discovery of the properties of
the plant and berry as found growing
wild by dervish on the plains of
Arabia about the year 1880. The
coffee tree is an evergreen shrub.
growing. in its natural state, to a
height of fourteen to eighteen feet.
1t is usually kept trimmed, however,
for convenience in picking the ber-
ries, which grow along the branches
close to the leaves and resemble in
shape and color ordinary cherries.
The tree cannot be grown above the
frost line, neither can it be success
fully grown in the tropics. The most
successful climate for production is
that found at an altitude of about
1000 feet. Anything much above this
is in danger of frost, which is fatal
to the tree; and when coffee is grown
much below this it requires artificial
shade, which materially increases the
cost of production and does not pro-
duce as marketable berries. 1t is
owing to this particular requirement
that coffee has never been success
fully produced in the United States.

Around the World in Fifty-Four Days.

Jules Verne once wrote a story in
which he described the adventures of
a certain Mr.. Phineas Fogg who, after
many narrowing incidents, succeeded
in travelling around the world in
eighty days. On July of this year,
Henry Frederick left New York on
the steamer Deutschland" He re-
turned at midnight August &c, after
having completely encircled the earth
in fiftyfour days, seven hours and
twenty minutes. To be sure, Mr..
Frederick had one facility unknown
at the time Jules Vernes story was
written, and that was the Siberian
railway. Eighteen days were passed
on the train from Paris to Dalny,
China; two more were occupied in
crossing the Yellow Sea. Japan was
traversed in another two days. At
Yokohama, Mr.. Frederick missed a
steamer by ten hours. That cost him
seven days. for which he was COM
PEELED to take a slow boat two days
later, which spent sixteen days in
crossing the Pacific. Landing at Vic
toria, he made the trip across North
America in somewhat more than four
days, In all that time the traveller
slept in but one hotel, and that was in
Yokohama.

Abandoned Luxury for Work in the

Giving up a home of luxury, aban-

Wet Harvest Weather in England.

The loss occasioned to British agricul-
ture by the continuous rain is enormous
says the London Mail. The hay harvest
is incomplete in almost all districts, and
there has probably never been such a bad
hay-saving summer, Wheat, barley, po-
tatOes and roots have also suffered
The corn stalks may stand IA little time
still in the fields. but the time is limited.
The barley crop is likely to be ruined so
far as mailing qualities are concerned,
and to farmers this will be a great loss.
Wheat and oats are suffering very seri-
ously in whole districts. Almost every
field of grain is laid so seriously that the
cost of the INJECTING will be increased
in many cases threefold.
One of the most anxious questions for
farmers at present is whether the pota-
to crop will escape. 1t is hardly possible
for 1t TO do so. Farmers are certain to
come out very badly. and landlords will
be called upon to bear share of the
loss.
The only crops of the year which show
a good average yield, despite the damage
done by the rain, are hay and beans.
