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 successfully grown in the tropics. The most successful climate for pro- duction is that found at an altitude of about four thousand 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 re- quires artificial shade, which materially increases the cost of production and does not produce as marketable berries. It is owing to this particular require ment that coffee has never been success fully produced in the United States. Thomas R. DawIey, Jr, in the Septem- Der Success"

THE ORIGIN OF COFFEE.

As to the history of coffee, the legend runs that it was first found growing wild in Arabia. Hadji Omar, dervish, discovered it in 1925, six hundred and seventeen years ago. He was dying of hunger in the wilderness, when, finding some small round berries, he tried to eat them. but they were bitter. He tried roasting them. and these he finally teeped i'll some water held in the hollow Of his hand. and found the decoration as refreshing as if he had partaken of solid food. He hurried back to Mocha, from which he had been banished, and, inviting the wise men to partake of his discovery, they were so we'll pleased with it that they made him saint.
 The story is told that coffee was in- troducted into the West Indies, in 1723, by Chirac, a French physician, who gave a Norman gentleman, by the name of De Clieux, a captain of infantry on his way to Martinique, a single plant. The sea voyage was stormy one, the ves- sel was driven out of her course, and drinking water became so scarce that it was disturbed in rations. De Clieux with an affection for his coffee plant, divided his portion of water with it, and succeeded in bringing it to Martinique, although weak, not in hopleless con- dition. There he planted it in his garden, protected it with fence of thorns. and watched it daily until the end of the year, when he gathered two pounds Of coffee. which he distributed among the inhabitants of the island to be planted by theii1. From Martinique coffee trees in turn were sent to Santo Domingo, Guadaloupe, and other neighboring islands.
 The coffee tree is an evergreen shrub, growing, in it's natural state, to height of fourteen to eighteen feet. It is usu- ally kept trimmed. however. for con- venience in picking the berries, which

, 4 DETHRoNED KING.

The dethronement of ZAP Adams of New York. the Policy King. seems to be complete. He has much money, but he is in prison. and is likely to stay there. Yesterday Justice Bartlett of the Appellate division of the Supreme court handed down an adverse decision on the application of Adams counsel for cer- tificate of reasonable doubt. Adams was sentenced on April 21, after having been convicted of having policy slips in his possession. He appealed to the Appel late division of the First department, which affirmed his conviction, and then to the Court of Appeals. The purpose of the application last made was to se- cure 9 certificate that would act as a stay and upon which Adams could be brought from Sing Sing and admitted to bail, pending the decision of the Court of Appeals upon his conviction. The contention of counsel for Adams was that he had been illegally convicted by the seizure of his private papers, and the introduction of the same as evidence at the trial-which he claimed was equivalent to compelling the witness to testify against himself.
 There isn't much sympathy with the dethroned Policy King. It,is generally understood that the game he played so profitably to himself is about the mean est "skin game" there is. Reform in New York is entitled to a large credit mark for putting him where he belongs.

The Birmingham Age-Herald thinks that in the general commendation of Governor Durbin's stand against lynch ing the services of Governor Jelks of Alabama in the same cause should not be forgotten. "Last week." it says, .'he notified the sheriffs of two counties that he would, under his constitutional authority. hold them responsible if lynchings occurred in their respective counties. None occurred. Only one lynching has been pulled off in the State this year, after the sheriff of the unfor- tunate county had been shot down. The leaders of that particular mob have been arrested and will soon be tried. While Alabama has had but one lynch ing this year, at least a dozen have oc- cured in each of the States on either side--itl Georgia and Mississippi

Bacillus fragi is the name given to a microbe discovered by a Paris chemist, M. Eichholtz. It possesses very pe- culiar property, that of imparting to the medium in which it thrives and nultiplies strong flavor of strawber- ries. M. Eichholtz first isolated and developed his bacillus in milk. The rnicrobe was found to "peptonize" and render soluble the albuminois contained in the milk. At the same time the liquid, which the chemist was courag- eous enough to taste, had acquired a decided strawberry flavor. The bacil- lus fragi conveys, 1t was ascertained, it's peculiar property to several other liquids and some solids, beef tea being among the former.

Landgraf smiled again. Exactly"
he replied, three that are in evidence,
and three duplicates of them. The
three Duplicates he continued, I'll
made myself last night in the presence
of these estimable gentlemen"
The judge scanned the papers.
(Which are the three, Mr.. Landgraf ?"
he inquired.
Cannot your honor tell?" he asked.
The judge thought he could, and so
did the experts, who finally picked out
the three that had been marked in evil
dence. These three were then handed
to the five gentlemen. They examined
them for secret marks.
"These," they testified, "were not in
evidence. They were copied from the
others by Counselor Landgraf in our
presence at his office last night"
Landgraf rose and smiled upon the
jury. what are you going to do about
it, gentlemen" he asked. "The case
against the prisoner depends entirely
upon the expert evidence. You see the
value of it. None can tell the checks
apart. Look at them" He handed over
not six, but nine checks. The extra
three no one but himself had ever seen.
Apparently each check was like the
other, and no man could tell which was
which.
Ten minutes later Chauncey G. Ilings-
worth shook hands with the foreman
of the jury and turned to receive the
congratulations of his friends. But
first he held forth his hand to thank
his counsel. But his counsel had dis
appeared in the confusion incident to
the sensational outcome of the trial,
and had gone apparently from off the
face of the earth. Norman in town ever
heard of him again. None save Ilings-
worth. He received note few DAYS
later.

FREAKIEST OF FREAK BILLS.
Measures Embodying Fads and Fun
ny Notions Presented in Vari-
Gus State Legislatures.

The crop of fool legislation evolved
in the United States has been I'M
usually large in the last year, says
the New York World.
The number of impractical fads
written into bills and presented for
national or state action seems to be
on the increase. Freaks of legisla-
ton there always have been, but
what may be thought of such meas
in all seriousness in this year of the
twentieth century, 1908?
United States Senator Wellington
is seeking to have the constitution
amended to prohibit the possession
of more than $10,000,000 by any one
individual in the United States. If
this passes, the hundreds of millions
of the Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts
and others would become by law a
public nuisance, a public folly or
public peril and would be forfeit to
the state.
Kissing without a certificate of
health from a physician will be I'M
lawful in Minnesota if bill now be-
fore the state legislature becomes
law. Before a man may kiss he must
show that he has no contagious or
infectious disease.
A bill placing a tax of $50 year
on bachelors and of $25 a year on old
maids, unless they can show that
their unwedded state is not of their
own choosing, or that they are quite
unable to pay the tax, has been intro
duced in the legislature of New York
state by Representative Isadore
Cohn.
On a par with this measure was a
law actually passed by the Missouri
legislature in 1897 which fined
widows and maidens from 500 to $500
for rejecting a sutton. 1t was called
''single-tax" law, which it literally
was, and was afterward amended to
add to the fine the provision that the
woman should sew on buttons and
darn socks for the rejected sutton for
six months. This effectually killed it.
The Pennsylvania legislature in
1899 sought to stop the payment of
wages to coal-miners in store or
ders. In committee the words ION
demand" were inserted so that the
law reads: "All wages shall be paid
in cash on demand" This made the
law utterly valueless, for if miner
demanded cash he could be. and gen
orally was, ct once laid off or dis
charged.

manded Landgraf.
The expert examined it. at is the
handwriting" he replied, ''of the pris-
oner at the bar"
Behind Landgraf at the same tins
sat five men. One of these, leading
merchant of the place, leaned for
ward and handed few pieces of paper
to Landgraf. There were three of
them.
And now" continued Landgraf,
'once more we have these three checks.
Look them over carefully, just as if you
had never seen them, and tell the jury
in whose handwriting is the signature. ;"
The expert again examined them, and
again he repeated his former answer.
The other experts corroborated the
first in each detail.
And now" said Landgraf, 81 will
take the stand myself" He did so, and
was sworn.
Gentlemen of the jury" he said, as
he glanced at the first piece of paper
on which was the written disclaimer
signed by the name of Ilingsworth,
gentlemen of the jury, am ready to
testify that this paper is not written
in the handwriting of the prisoner"
The district attorney jumped to his
feet. 81 object" he exclaimed. "Coun-
selor Landgraf is no expert. He cannot
testify"
The judge nodded. "Mr. Landgraf,"
he said, you cannot give your opinion
unless you qualify as an expert. The
district attorney is right"
Landgraf smiled Your honor" he
returned, 81 have ventured no opinion.
