The Coffee we Drink.

More than one billion pounds of COT
fee, valued at $SS,OOO,OOO, came into
the United States last year, practi-
cally all for the use of the people OF
: the United States. The total quantity
of coffee imported from foreign coun-
tries during the year, as shown by
figures recently issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor through
its Bureau of Statistics, was 1,112,7OS,-
SAG pounds, valued at $S7,,427,099, and
from Porto Rico, 2,391,524 pounds, and
from the Hawaiian Islands, 1927, AL
pounds-the total value of the coffee
from these two island divisions of the
United States being $515,S52, bringing
the total quantity of coffee brought in
to the country up to 1,117,O00,00O
pounds, and the value to $SS,OO0,0OO.
During the same period (the calendar
year 1904 there was exported from
the United States 64,256,947 pounds of
coffee of foreign production, valued
at $6,468,592, so that the consumption
of coffee during the year was approx
imately 1,053,OO0,00O pounds, valued
at about $S1,oO0,Oo0.
The figures of the worlds produc-
ton of coffee in the coffee year OF
1904, which have just reached the
Bureau of Statistics, show that the
coffee exported from the various pro-
ducing countries of the world, and
therefore the quantity entering the
worlds markets during that year, was,
in round terms, 2,260, 100000 pounds,
or barely double the quantity brought
into the United States alone during
the calendar year 1904.-Harper-s
Weekly.

TRAPS FOR THE MOSQUITO.
Lured by the Glare Of Lights or the
Hum of Music.

The old adage to first catch the
hare has been embodied in num-
Der of mechanical devices which have
appeared in the Patent Office rec
ords for the determination of mos
quitoes and similar obnoxious insects.
If the insects can be successfully
lured into the death chambers pro-
vided for them their destruction in
great numbers is a comparatively
easy matter. The efficiency of the
electric light in accomplishing this
has been demonstrated innumerable
times, and in some of the devices
this is one of the prime features OF
merit. There are many places near
human habitations such as on lawns,
in gardens, ETC., where the relief for
the household from the attacks OF the
insects justifies the expense of main
tanning light on commercial circuits.
In the daytime the innocent victims
are lured to the death traps by the
use of harps, electrically actuated,
or by the dissemination of artificially
produced odors agreeable to mosqui-
toes or other insects upon which the
war has been declared. In one form
the insect is killed by poisonous
fumes generated within a dome, and
in others they are electrocuted the
instant they alight on the electrically
charged surfaces. 1t is claimed that
devices of this character set up in
swamps, OF. other infested spots, will
destroy millions of insects. The in
ventor of the device, who halls from
Massachusetts, asserts that enough
experimental work has been done to
demonstrate the practical utility OF
the philadelphia Record.

The Headache Habit.

'Half the people in New York"
said the postgraduate medical stu
dent, 'have the Sunday morning
headache habit. A good many of
them belong to the perfectly respec-
table element of the community, too.
Thy don't stay out late on Saturday
night, neither do they indulge in
quiet little spree in the privacy OF
their own rooms. They simply have
the headache habit. Most people who
have it attribute their Sabbatical In
disposition to late rising and the con-
sequent postponement of their morn
ing cup of coffee beyond the usual
hour. In some cases that may be
the cause, but as rule the head
ache Is a habit.
1T is a Habit that IS very easily
contracted. One Sunday the victim
really does get up with IN accidental
headache. The following Saturday
night when he goes to bed he wonders
if he will have it next day. The re-
suit of thinking SO much about it is
another headache. II he has it on
the third and fourth morning the hab-
1t is well established, and unless the
sufferer makes pretty strong drafts
on his will power he is likely to be
in for Sunday headaches for the rest
of his life."-New York Press.

INDIAN TREATMENT OF SICK.
superstitious Ceremony That Is Often
A Last Resort.

A Last Resort.
The trial in the Federal Court OF
Louis Brown, charged with the muir
der of Walter Richardson and Moses
Pettigrew, brought to light an Indian
superstition that was new to many
people. Several years ago, when the
famous Solomon Hotem witch killing
case was tried in the same court,
there was considerable to show the
belief of the Indians in witchcraft,
and the testimony in the Brown case
reveals an equally weird story.
One of the witnesses testified that
the homicide for which Brown was
tried occurred at 'pachofsha." In
answer to inquiries as to the meaning
of the word it was explained that a
pachofsha is a feast and a part OF
the incarnation and superstitious GER
emory conducted over the sick by the
lower class of ignorant Indians.
When a man is thought to be sick
enough to require the services of a
doctor he is put into a hut, and for
three days no one except the doctor
sees him. The doctor goes into the
woods and gathers herbs, from which
he prepares a potion for the sick man
and then keeps a lonely vigil with
him. At the end of the third day, If
the patient is not improved, the order
is given to prepare pachofsha. Corn
and meat, either beef, pork or game.
are put in large kettle and stewed
until the corn is soft.
All the relatives of the sick man
are entitled to attend. and they gath
er around the kettle for the feast.
The sick man is brought out and
served first. He is fed as much as
his stomach can hold, and the others
then turn in and devour the remain
der OF the stew. When this Is con-
cluded a bonfire is built and lighted.
the crowd circles around and dances
to the time of weird chant. After
this, If the sick man does not show
signs of getting better, nothing more
is done for MIN, and he dies or gets
well by act of Providence.-OklA-
homa Times-Journal.

fairies home, how they had seen the
Fairy King sitting on his mushroom
throne, and of her dream. He mother
looked SO amused.
IF you were country mouse in
stead OF town one, you would know,
my little Dot, that it was only a big
frog you saw, not a fairy at all. He
had come out in the rain to find some
insects for his dinner"
"Oh, l don't fink so, mummy, real
ly. He was just like the picture in
my book, and it said there it was the
Fairy King; but mummy dear, even
If he isn't, let's pretend he is the
Fairy King, it's ever so muchanicer."
So Bob and Dot always said they
knew exactly where the fairies lived,
for the rainbow had shown them the
place.-Home Magazine.

scups THE SEAS.
Has Sailed Under Two Flags and
Under Three Names.

Steamships in Some respects are
like individuals. Some run hum
drum existence from the time they
are launched until they finally find
their way into the hands of junk
dealers, who strip them of all that
remains of their past usefulness, then
consign them to the flames. Others
are precipitated into stirring events
and scenes from the moment they en-
ter active service. One of the latter
kind is the steamship Hermine, which
arrived this morning from the Medit-
erranean with cargo OF lemons, a
variety of other fruits, sumac, etc.
She was built in 1901 at Stockton-on-
Tyne for the Hermine Steamship
Company, of Austria-Hungary, and
hardly had time to show what she
was worth to her owners as freight
carrier between the Mediterranean
and America before she was char
tered by the Russian Government to
help stock up Vladivostok. Her
christening name was Nina, but I'M
der the Russian flag this was changed
to Frieda.
She loaded a cargo of provisions in
the Black Sea and steamed out to
the Far East, in charge of Capt.
Ear, an Austrian. Arrived there, the
Russian authorities, taking little
thought to the benefits which they de-
rived from her fresh supplies, under
took to place the captain under ar
rest, because he, an Austrian, pre-
sumed to command ship under the
Russian flag. The Austrian Consul
Immediately bestirred himself to tel
egraph on to the Austrian Embassy
at st. Petersburg, through whose in
fluence the arrest was prevented, and
Capt Ear saved from what nigh,
have been exile in Siberia.
But if they did not wholly succeed
in their purpose, the Russian author
tiles at Vladivostok accomplished
their purposes in part, for Capt. Ear
was relieved Of the command of his
vessel, which was turned over to the
first officer on board, Russian. In
his charge, therefore. she returned to
the Mediterranean. On her return
she was transferred back to her own
ers, once more was changed again,
to Hermine, the appellation under
which she has Since been plying in
the Austro-American trade. She is
now in command of Capt. Bussanich.
Hence, within four years of service
she has served under two flags, under
three names, under four or five diff
ferent commanders, and has ira
versed the greater part of the worlds
commercial waters.-Boston Tran
script.
