There are in the foreign colony
IN Washington quite a number Of

The true Mocha is the finest

the very best of other brands as
silk is superior to cotton. but the
crop is extremely limited, and

Mocha, but it is not the real arti-

that means some mighty fine cof-
fee. 1t is not Mocha, however, for
the whole of the true Mocha crop
zach year wouldn't supply the cof-
fee demands of one ward in st.
Louis alone for a period of six
months. The best and plumpest
berries of the Mocha growth,
those with the most exquisite
favor, 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

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-

it has been decided to establish a
hop yard at the school in order to
teach the pupils how to grow and
cure hops. Each year pupils have
picked in the neighboring fields but
have had no opportunity to gain an
insight into this great industry, other
than to strip the blossoms from the
vines. The entire work of plowing,
planting, training and drying the hops
will be performed by the pupils, thus
giving them an opportunity Of gaining
thorough knowledge of hop grow
