IDEAL IN HoUsEKEEpIEG.
Many of the old Customs and CenA ditions Are Passing Entire-
 1y Away.

A generation ago to be an ideal house. keeper was the chief ambition of almost every woman. No girl desired . fairer fate than to be placed at tho head of household with . good and loving hus- band to supply all her wants and make her the mistress and the queen of his heart and his home. In most eases, says the Peoria Hsrald Transcript. the girl who started Housekeeping had moro or less experience in thsart under the tuition of her mother. She loved to decorate and beautify tho house which was to bs her homo during the rest of her earthly pil- grimaga She loved to create delicacies for her husband and her children, and. dsguise 1t as we may. much of the af- :ection she received was due entirely ts her skill n . homemaker. When her children grew up around nas this kin1 and sympathetic mother and the pantry were the chief attractions in their world. Al they grew older the ties only grew tAs stronger. When they acquired families ef their own the old homestead, with its abundance o3 good thingS. still had attractions fer them. The kind old mother was still their best friend. She knew all the difnculties they had to sn- counter in starting homes of their own. and her advice and sympathy were worth mors to them than gold. The grandchildren came to venerats her as . sort of venerable goddess. and when she finally went away from tho homo circle she left . vacancy which could never be filled.
 But we are assured with every symp- tom of rejoicing that these conditions are passing; that women have been emancipated; that ir the future they are to be the rival. instead of the helpmate. of man, and that they must combine ts enforce their just demands against the hostility of the male sex. This Is non. sense pure and simple. It may be true that there are more mannish women in this generation than there were in tha last. It Is unfortunately true that . larger proportion of the female popula- tion has been forced to be self-support ing, but 1t Is not true that women enjoy tho so-called liberty" which goes with toiling for living.
 The home Instinct is too deeply planted in the heart of women to be re- moved by the effects of a generation oi club work. It will never be removed. A few women may go after strange gods. but the natural, wholesome girl will still ind her highest ideal of happiness in a good husband and a cozy homo. The clubs may succeed in making such homes impossible to few men and women by making the young women feel that they have a more important work in the world than the prosaic duty of home. making, but among the masses of tho American people the mother will con. tinue to be the bond which un1tes the unities of that holy institution the fam. fly, and she will continue in this exalted role until the end of all things.

WHO GETS MOCHA COFFEE |?
Most of It Taken by Sheiks and Gov. srnors of Arabia-Little Is
 Ever Exported.

"I don't believe there is pound of genuine Mocha coffee on this continent" MT. c. T. Hilli. glas, a coffee merchant, informs me, says a writer in the St. Louis Globe Democrat, Cor that 200 peo- pie in this country have ever tast. ed 1t, unless they have at some time visited Arabia and drunk it at the table of some sheik or gov. ernor.
 "The true Mocha is the finest coffee grown; it has delicious fla. vor that makes it as superior to the very best of other brands as silk is superior to cotton, but the crop is extremely limited, and hardly ever more than satisfies purely local demands. Some Arabian coffee may find it's way to this country; 1t may even be called Mocha, but it is not the real arti- cle, I am sure, and none of us has ever had it here, thoughwe get the best of other brands that are grown in Ceylon and Java, and that means some mighty fine cof- fee. It is not Mocha, however, for the whole of the true Mocha crop each year wouldn't supply the cof. fee demands of one ward in St. Louis alone for a period of six mouths. The best and plumpest berries of the Mocha growth, those with the most exquisite flavor, are eagerly taken by the governors and sheiks in the vicinity, and they have to get their orders in in advance, so that they may be sure of their annual sup ply. The second-grade berries go to the wealthier citizens, not of the governing class, and the third, or poorest, grade of berries, which are not much superior to the best Java coffee, are sold to the people, and the demand invariably ex. ceeds the supply.
 "Sometimes a few pounds of this cheapest grade of Mocha finds its way to Constantinople, but 1t is very, very seldom, and I don't believe an ounce of it has ever got any further west than that. Ipre- eume that if, by some hook or crook, pound of the real plump berried Mocha were landed in this country it would sell for price that even Rockefeller might he's itate to pay. We get the best cof' fee grown, apart from the Mocha, but the local conditions which pre-, vail where that coffee is raised prevent us from obtaining any, and I hardly think the real thing will ever be found in our markets"

AN ODD OLD CHARACTER.
Kate, the Bumboat Woman, Who Has Haunted Washington's Navy.
 yard for Forty Years.

Kate, the bumboat woman, is the title applied to an odd crea. ture who has been haunting the Washington navy yard for the past 20 years, says the Washing ton Post. Her name is Kate Royal, and as far back and further than the oldest man connected with the yard can remember, Kate has been making her daily trips with her basket of candy, fruit and notions to sell to the sailors who visit Washington on Uncle 6am's boats. Kate has a speaking acquaintance with all the great men of the army and navy. She has letters and presents, from most of them, including Amirals Dewey, Sampson and Schlsy.
 Kate made her first visit to the yard during the civil war. She was a young woman in those days, and her bright Irish ways made her a great favorite. In later years, when age began to creep upon her, she began to form an opinion that she was an active and indispensable part of the navy. She considered herself an enlisted person and became as de- voted to the cause as the most loyal man. It is just 40 years since Kate began to consider herself | sailor.
 She has had ten red enlistment stripes, representing four years each, placed upon field of blue cloth, and this she wore to cele- brate the anniversary.
 Kate is picturesque charac. ter. Her form is bowed beneath the weight of 70 years, and her face is scanned with the marks of time. Only her eyes still retain the brilliancy of youth, and they sparkle with the same Irish hu- nor and good nature that gleamed from them 40 years ago.
 Kate has no regular hours of business. She is on hand with the rising sun, and the late hours of the evening find her still on duty. She gathers her little stock of trade around her under the fore. castle of one of the United States boats lying up at the yard, and with the sailor boys lying around her on the floor she will tell them tales of her youth or crone Irish melodies for them until the signal for lights out is passed around, and the sailors seek their swing ing hammocks, and Kate shoul, ders her basket of goods and wan ders home.
