tation and removes the moisture from
the leaf, and causes it to curl up and
backen. 1t comes out of the machine
three-fourths fred, and is then again
fired at a much lower temperature. 1t
is now dry and crisp, and is the tea
of commerce. During the process of
curing it is estimated that about three
quarters of the weight of the green leaf
is lost
The tea is then taken to the sorting
room, where it is first spread on a ce-
ment floor, and women carefully pick
out any foreign matter, such as little
sticks and pieces Of stone, which some
how find their way into the mass Of
tea 1t is then put into a long sieve
in which are wire meshes of different
sizes. The tea which drops through
the different meshes is called "unbrok-
en- tea" which is the finest grade, as it
is made up of the tip of the bud and
the delicate part of the leaf The tea
which does not find its way through the
meshes traverses the entire length of
the sieve and falls into large baskets,
from which it is taken and placed in
a machine to be broken up fine and
again sifted and automatically sorted
into various grades. The names given
to the different qualities are as fol-
lows: The unbroken teas are divided
into Flowery Orange Pekoe, Orange
Pekoe, Pekoe, and Pekoe Souchong.
Thebroken teas include Broken Orange
Pekoe, Broken Pekoe Souchong, Brok-
en- Pekoe, Fannings, and Dust The
division into these classes is not uni
form among the different tea gardens,
and as the names given to the various
grades are more or less optional, some
confusion arises when attempts at com
parison are made Just before 1t is
packed into lead-lined chests contain
ing 100 pounds, it is retired a short
time to remove any traces of moisture
gathered while being worked.

Climbed Down Mine,

John Mclaughlin of Mine Hill, N. Y.
had a narrow escape from terrible
death while, walking over the noun
tain, followed by Little Billy, valua-
BILE fox terrier which he owns
He suddenly missed his familiar
bark, and on looking around, could
find no trace of the dog Nearby, how
ever, he saw a small mine hole, and
leaning over, heard faint yeps of dis
tress coming from the bottom of the
shaft He knew this was the shaft of
an old mine which had not been used
for a dozen years, and there was no
way of getting at the bottom except
by climbing along the rotten old tim
bers. This he did and succeeded in
reaching the bottom. 100 feet. but he
fell the last Is or 20 feet. as the tim
bers broke and let him down.
He was then in quandary, as he
could not get out. 1t was late in the
afternoon before he was missed, and
James Haggerty started out casually
to see where his work-mate had gone
He could follow the tracks quite cas-
lily over the side of the mountain to
the entrance Of the mine. Here he
heard Mclaughlin shouting family for
help.
Haggerty hurriedly brought a rope,
and after half hours work the man
and dog were brought to the surface.
Mclaughlin is in a serious condition
from fright. He was in the mine so
long he feared that he might never be
found News.

ARE TREES TOO sLow2
An Objection Made That They Are
UnTatefulIy Diatory.

There is nothing that gives greater
dignity to our premises than a few
fine trees. And there are no handsom-
er specimens of arboreas growth any
where than the best of our own Ameri-
can trees. Our oaks and elms, naples
and beeches are grand trees, of large
size, fine shape and attractive foliage.
But when their planting is urged upon
those engaged in laying out ornament
al grounds, the objection is made that
these are all forest trees, and too slow
in growth for the planter to ever get
to see the good of his labor. Is this OBJ
lection valid? We think not.
A gentleman in laying out his sub
urban home, planted to have shade
tree at a certain point on his side
lawn. A small oak had already estab-
lished itself there, and as it was a
pretty little specimen of Quercus pal
ustris, the handsomest of the glossy
le2ved oaks. the wife begged her hus-
band to leave it standing. To please
her he did so, although he thought a
Hfetime's growth would hardly make
it of shade tree size. The little tree
stood in good ground, and had plenty
OF room for symmetrical spread of its
branches. 1t grew steadily two or
three feet in height every year. 1t be-
gan to show for itself in five or six
years time, and now Is years after, is
as fine tree as any one could ask.
The finest tree in our village is
superb specimen of sugar maple, Acer
saccharinum, standing near the public
square. 1t is the handsomest sugar
maple that the writer ever saw, and
the most perfect specimen of a round
topped tree. Thirty-four years ago
young lady found this tree growing in
the forest, tiny whip of thing,
about a foot high. She pulled it up,
carried it home. and set it out where
1t now stands, using a common case
knife to dig the hole for it's roots. AS
she was planting it young lawyer
came along, and poked unlimited fun
at her shade tree planted with case
knife" and wanted to know how old
she expected to be before she could
sit under its branches" The lawyer
is yet in the prime of life, and she but
a m1ddle-aged woman, but for more
than a score of years they have seen
that tree the pride of the town.
These instances show that we do
live to see good results from our plant
ing of native trees. The Englishman
loves his oaks, the Hindoo his DO tree.
Why shouldn't the American love his
elms and naples as well? Shapely lit
tie specimens, carefully taken up and
as carefully transplanted, will grow
steadily and by no means slowly

ORIGIN OF COFFEE.
The Dervish Who Discovered 1t Was
Made a Saint.

AS to the history of coffee, the leg
end runs that it was first found grow.
ing wild in Arabia. Hadji Omar, a der
wish, discovered it in 1885, six hundred
and seventeen years ago. He was dy'
ing Of hunger in the wilderness, when,
finding some small round berries, he
tried to eat them, but they were bit
ter. He tried roasting them, and these
he finally stepped in some water held
in the hollow of his hand, and found
the decoction as refreshing as if he
had partaken of solid food. He hur-
ried back to Mocha, from which he
had been banished, and, inviting the
wise men to partake of his discovery,
they were SO well pleased with it that
they made him a saint.
The story is told that coffee was
introduced into the West Indies in
1923 by Chirac, a French physician
who gave Norman gentleman by the
name of De Clieux, a captain of in
fantry on his way to Martinique, a
single plant. The sea voyage was
stormy one, the vessel was driven out
Of her course, and drinking water be-
came so scarce that it was distributed
in rations. De Clieux, with an affec-
ton for his coffee plant, divided his
portion of water with it, and succeed
ed in bringing it to Martinique, al
though weak, and in a hopeless con-
dition. There he planted it in his
garden, protected it with a fence of
thorns, and watched it daily until the
end Of the year, when he gathered two
pounds of coffee, which he distributed
among Of the inhabitants of the island
to be planted by them. From Mar
Unique coffee trees in turn were sent
to Santo Domingo, Guadalupe, and
other neighboring islands.
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 successfully
grown in the topics. The most sue
cessful climate for production is that
found in an altitude of about 1000 feet
much above this is in danger
of frost, which Is fatal to the tree;
and, when coffee is grown much be-
low this, it requires artificial shade,
which materially increases the cost of
production and does not produce as
marketable berries. 1t is owing to
this particular requirement that COT
fee has never been successfully pro-
duced in the United States.-Thomas
R. Dawley, Jr., in Success.

Resisting Power.

When a physician is called to a case
of severe illness, the first thing that he
estimates is the resisting power of the pa
tient. The chances for his recovery are
in proportion to his vitality. If there be
little of that at the outset there is small
hope of overcoming the disease The re-
sisting power of persons in full health is
such that in an epidemic they throw off
the disease germs that PROSTATE others.
One cannot always tell from appearances
just how much ability one has to withstand
the inroads of malady. Some who APP
parently are robust almost Immediately
succumb, while others who look frail re-
cover from violent attacks. Of course, dis
sipation, unhygienic living, unhealthful
surroundings sap ones resisting power, SO
that when a virulent ailment makes an
attack one has strength insufficient to
fight it off.
You see that it is not so much the ma
lignancy of the disease as it is the vital
ity of the man that determines the re-
suit. just so it is also in the moral world.
There are some persons living lives so up
right so spiritually healthy, that they are
practically immune from temptation. And
when they are overcome, they soon dis
cover themselves, for their power of resis-
lance is great. On the other hand, there
are those who after succumbing to one
temptation are completely swept away by
the power of evil How can that be ac-
counted for? Obviously in the same way
that the ability to resist physical disease
is to be explained There has been un-
wholesome moral living; the mind has
been permitted to become familiar with
evil thoughts; the soul has breathed in
miasma and corruption until one has no
ability to put away temptation.
All this suggests the need of resisting
power both against disease and against
sin. A pure, clean, wholesome life, physi-
cal and moral, will make one secure
against any harm that either can do.

SANITATION OF ANT CITIES.
A Lesson in Cleanliness Given by
Little insects.


Insects are scrupulously clean in
their personal toilet, and often brush,
comb and wash themselves-a service
for which they are admirably provided
with natural implements. This habit,
writes H. G. McCooll in Harper's Mag
azine, is transferred to communal af-
fairs. The streets within the city
bounds and the gates and external pi-
aza and country roads" leading into
the foraging fields-as with agricul-
tural ants-are kept free from filth
and distractions that might gather
filth. The constant washings and
combings Of baby ants by the nurses
would satisfy the most fastidious ma
ternal taste. One may not say that
sanitation is an exact lemmetonian sci
ence, but it certainty is an art thor
oughly practiced in every department
Of the formicary, and brought to per
lection as far as natural conditions
will permit. Every insect citizens
takes part in this service. All ants
unite to keep their y civic precincts
clean.

high LIED" DOG
IS A MARVEL
is FINE NIGHT WATCHMAN, RUNS
ERRANDs AND DOES THE MAR
KETING.

MANU- the canine victim of Frank
j. Turks alleged High Life" pranks
is said to be one of the most intelligent
animals in Honolulu. In fact he is an
invaluable aid to his owner Kailiwai
the Waterman for the foundry. The
dog is now eleven years old and is
the greatest assistance to it's master.
The canine makes the rounds of the
building regularly and always has the
keenest scent for a stranger. If the
dog discovers any stranger about the
premises he at once hurries to his mas
ter and Kailiwai goes and elects the
intruder if the latter has no business
about the premises.
The dog shows even greater intelli-
gence for it will run errands for its
master. The dog goes home and
brings Kailiwais purse when ordered.
/ The dog also understands the COM
mands of it's master for when it gets
into a fight with other dogs and Kali
wal says pau, pau" the animal will
instantly stop fighting and lie down.
The dog also does the marketing.
Some days ago it was sent to the mar
| ket to secure some meat. Makanui was
/ bringing the meat home in a basket
when he was attacked by other dogs
who wanted to seize the meat. Maka-
nui put the basket down and stationed
| himself in front of it and then de-
| Tended the position from attack. He
| finally routed all of his assailants and
! then brought the meat home in safety
| Turk is alleged to have High Lifted"
! the dog Saturday. Kailiwai prizes
! the dog very highly and he felt greatly
! aggrieved to see the canine suffer, so he
caused the arrest of the alleged perpe-
| traitor Of the outrage.

ROYAL BATTLE ON BUFoRD.

There was a royal battle on the
transport Buford and in the vicinity
of the naval wharf yesterday after
noon about o'clock. Several men
from one Of the departments of the yes
sci attacked a man from another de-
partment. This fight occurred on
Richards street. The lone fireman ran
into the Marine barracks for protec-
ton. Other men took a hand in the
fight as the men from the engineers
department went up the gangway.
The crowd fought on the deck. The
master at arms tried to stop them.
They resumed the fight on the deck
forward of the pilot house. The first
officer then tried to stop the row and
after hard work and receiving and
administering severe punches did so.
Three men were put into the ships
brig. A dunken marine jumped over
board during the row and swan un-
der the naval wharf No. ? but was
later arrested and put aboard the YES
sci.
