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

"I don't believe there is pound of genuine Mocha coffee on this continent" Mir. 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 it, 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; it 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, though we 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 months. 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 It's way to Constantinople, but it is very, very seldom, and I don't believe an ounce of it has ever got any further west than that. Ipre- sume that if, by some hook or crook, pound of the real plump berried Mocha were landed in this country it would sell for a price that even a Rockefeller might hes. 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" :"

HOW WILD BEASTS ATTACK
Nearly Every Species Has Its Own Peculiar Method of Seixing
 Its Prey.


 edge of how wild animals bounce upon their prey, be it a human being or a. fellow brute, from the picture books will have to revise their ideas if they are made true to life. Most of the conceptions are entirely wrong, according to the statement of a close student of such things.
 "In seizing their prey tigers and lions almost invariably go for the throat" he says, "though in one or two instances that have come under my notice of animals killed by tigers they have evi- dently first been hamstrung. These, probably were the victims of young and inexperienced ti' gers. I once saw a man charged and knocked over by panther and he only saved his throat by putting up his arm, which, as we'll as his shoulder, the animal grasped with teeth and claws.
 Anyone who knows anything about elephants must be aware that the trunk, and particularly the tip of the trunk, is the most delicate and sensitive part x the animal and that he shielaA it from injury by every possible means in his power. It is, there fore, very unlikely that he would expose 1t in the act of charging. My experience, limited though it be, points to the fact that an elephant, once he has made up his mind to charge, curls up his trunk tight.
 "Bisons and buffaloes when they charge invariably poke their noses in the air and com mence running at you with their heads we'll up, much in the man. ner of domestic cattle, and only lower their horns when within a few yards of the object of their attentions. This I take to be a mere matter of common sense on the part of the animal, for if he puts his head down, say even 40 yards away, he could not pos sibly see where he was going.
 "Bears when wounded will often get on their hind legs and dance about from sheer rage and will also at times do so in order to get a better view of the where abouts of their enemy, but when they charge, whether it be at a man mounted or on foot, they in- variably charge on all fours.
 "In charging most animals give vent to certain vocal sounds -grunts or roars-and this, it Is natural to suppose, is done with a view to terrifying and de- moralizing the object they are attacking-in fact, more often than not it is a mere bluff on the animals part. have often seen tigers roar when charging who never really mean mischief and who when met by a bold front turned off,"

What Makes Brown Eggs Brown Re vealed by a Woman Who Is

"You have just started house keeping, Maud," said the visitor to the bride of a few weeks, accord ing to the New York Sun. "Ihave been married year now, and have learned great deal about dishon' est practices of shopkeepers..
 "Tradesmen are up to all sorts of tricks. The other day l went to the dairy to get some eggs. Would you believe it, the girl in charge tried to make me believe that the brown eggs were better than the real white ones? She came from a farm, too, which is surprising thing" lrd
 "Why, I always thought the brown eggs were the best," said the bride of a week. "I am sur. prised to learn that they are not"
 "No, indeed, they are not. Do you know how they get brown? We'll, it's from lying around the store so long. They just get stale and take on that brown look. Oh, they can't fool me!

SAN FRANCISCO, May s.-The Rus
sian army IL in full retreat At New
Chang During the past twenty-four
hours the entire troops have moved
from the front and are taking all the
machine guns and all available ammu-
milton. Considerable ammunition and
such guns a. we're injured in the fight
ing have been destroyed. The Russians
have kept too far in the lead to be
engaged in any conAict. The retreat is
leaving the Jap army in full possess
ion Of the coveted possession.
At Port Arthur the situation is grow
ing desperate. The cannonading from
the ships outside the harbor have A.
most destroyed the land batteries AMI
the blocking Of the entrance of the
channel prevents the encased feet
from Offering any great resistance. 1t
is simply . case Of the port awaiting
it's doom and the Jap fleet move IN
closer to quarters every hour. The
doom of Port Arthur is conceded by all
the military experts.
The European press is of a different
voice in the matter. some going so far
as to advise the sueing of peace on the
part Of Russia. There has been little
or no word from the Russian capital
and it is believed in diplomatic circles
that move toward establishing peace
will be made as soon as Port Arthur
falls into the hands of the Japanese
which is but matter Of but a few
days.

much. BY the first Of the week. how.
ever, much better time will be made.
1.-THE c. & C. has not been deliver
ing material for the past few days on
account Of heavy cattle shipments, and
movements Of commercial freight, and
for this reason the track laying forces
have been badly handicapped and un-
able to make the usual progress. The
track is now beyond the thirtieth miles
and with promises Of better movement
Of material we should have at least
i've more miles completed by the close
Of the coming week. e~s5. zEaE .
The water is now running through

BANANA A PROMINENT FOOD
Long Regarded as Luxury by Ma
tives of Tropics-Bread and
Coffee Facts.

Long regarded only as luxury for
children or proper food for the dark
skinned natives of the tropics, the
banana has advanced to a place of
prominence as a great food product.
The United States and other great ma
lions having colonies in the tropics
have been investigating the food value
of the banana and the results obtained
are so satisfactory that the nutritious
banana is taking it's place as a staple
food among all civilized nations.
To overcome all objections, the
banana has been especially dried and
prepared for food by making it into
a fine flour out of which bread is
made, and other process turns the soft
mushy banana into a wholesome cof-
fee.
The ST. Louis Exposition is being
used by the manufacturers of banana
bread and banana coffee to introduce
this new food to the world Now this
nutritious bread and coffee are served
daily to visitors in the Palace of
Agriculture, as one of the many OBJ
ject lessons in food at the World s
Fair.
