WE'RE GREAT ON COFFEE.
But Don't Drink So Much Per Man as
the Danes and Scandinavians.

Lnc lanes ana 5caQQ1naV1dQS.
The consumption of coffee in the Uni
ted States has increased till it is now
estimated that we consume a little over
II pounds of coffee per capita annually.
An idea of the proportion of this con-
sumption may be formed when it is sta
ted that Great Britain consumes less
than u of a pound per Individual an
nually; Italy, less than one pound; Aus
tria- Hungary, two pounds: France, Az
pounds, and Germany six pounds.
But we are not the largest coffee-con-
suming country per capita, although,
judging by our increasing consumption,
we are fast approaching it. For the
year 1901 Mr.. LecomE e, the European
statistician, gives Denmark as the larg-
est coffee-consuming country in proper
ton to its population. His figures are
5.S7 kilograms per inha bitant, While
Norway and Sweuen are placed next on
the list with an annual consumption of
400 and kilograms, respectively, and
the United States next, with a consump-
ton of 1886 kilograms; but for some I'M
known reason, he onits Holland, which
is known to be a large coffee-consuming
country. parliamentary paper con-
tanning an official document on tea and
coffee in 1900 gives the consumption of
coffee in Holland for that year at 1857
pounds per capita. while 9.S1 pounds is
given as the amount consumed in the
United States.
our rate OF increased Consumption IS
shown, however. by a table carefully
prepared by the London board of trade,
showing that in 1890 we consumed 1888
pounds per capita, which increased to
790 pounds the following year, jumped
to 9.61 pounds the next year, but de-
creased the next two years to S.24 and
sol, and went up again in 1895 to 9.22
pounds. Our consumption for 1898 was
11.45 pounds. but fell off the following
year to 1885. although since it has
steadily increased. OF the 100000 bags
of coffee estimated as the worlds crop
for the year ending June 80, 1903. over
100000 bags were sold in the United
States.
1t is estimated that there are now
some eleven and a quarter million bags
of coffee in stock in various parts of
Europe and the United States so that,
if no more coffee were imported from
the coffee producing countries, there is
nearly sufficient stock on hand to sup
ply the worlds consumption for anoth-
er year. By this may be judged the diff
/ ficult proposition which was before the
delegates to the international conference
from the coffee producing countries to
increase the price of their product. As
/ long as Brazil continues to grow 151z
million bags of coffee. which was near
w the amount of her last years product
and about the estimated amount of the
worlds consumption, there is little
chance of getting a better price.-Fronl

JOHN WEsLEY's INFLUENCE
Personal Power Used With Wisdom
and Liberality.

Even upon the manners of the English
people no man of his century had so much
influence. It was peculiarly fortunate that
the leader of the great popular movement
united with intense religious earnestpess
the tastes of a scholar and the instincts
of the gentleman He never felt it neces-
sary to vulgarize his teachings or to make
less linen, his cassock, his blue hose and
silver shoe buckles, he was a model of
scrupulous precision in personal attire, and
his oft-quoted saying: Cleanliness is next
to godliness," well expresses the almost
fastidious habit of the man. His dignified,
yet gentle courtesy, his refined self-posSes-
sion, made his very presence an example
and an inspiration.
And it should be said that Wesley used
his immense personal influence with sin

NoMoRE WHEAT CARS.
Superintendent Gruber Causes Con-
.sternation Among Farmars.

Chickasha, I. T.. Aug. 1.-Supt. A. NJ.
Gruber, of Chicago. general superin-
tendent of the Rock Island road. has
ordered disDatchers and station agents
to refuse to furnish any more emDty
cars to move the wheat croD until the
stations and division points are cleared
OF loaded wheat cars waiting to go
forward. The order has caused con-
sternation among the farmers, as the
towns are congested with loads of
wheat. Every elevator is full to over
flowing and there is no place to store
the grain. At several towns west OF
here farmers have dumped their wheat
on sheets on the ground near the
tracks, hoping to get the cars soon. II
rain should come all this grain WOULD
be spoiled.
