bought in sizes ranging from one
fourth TO one inch by siXteenths. At
B are shown the gimlet bit and the
twist drill for wood. These bits are
used for boring very small holes for
all purposes, especially for wood
screws, and can be bought in sizes run
ming by thirty-seconds from one-six-
teenth to three-eighths inch in diam

drill is the best and will stand more
hard usage than the gimlet bit

Principal Whitaker's Report.

In his ninth annual report Principal
fl. X. Whitaker deals at length with
the cost of the high school. especially
the cost of salaries. and shows by sta
tistics that the number of pupils per
teacher in the Brattleboro high school
is considerably above the average for
schools of this size. Commenting on
this question he says: ANY lessening
of the teaching force here would mean
a great impairment of the effectiveness
of the school Courses would have 10
be dropped or. at best. materially short
enee. / do not believe public senti-
ment demands or would tolerate such
a move. What better use can be made
of a reasonable amount of money than
to secure with il the best possible edu-
cation of the boys and girls in Brat
tleboro? A thousand dollars more or
less expended for school purposes will
make hardly any appreciable difference
in any mans tax. 1t may make an in
estimable difference in the future pros
poets of his boy or girl. A strong and
efficient High school will of necessity
mean a good system of Grammar
schools"

ferent courses that have been pursued

Reported Injury by Hazing.

James r. Darling of Barre, 10, who
was appointed last summer by Sena-
tor Proctor as one of the cadets at the
United States academy at West Point
to which Vermont is entitled, and who
entered the academy June 1, is now at
home in bed. paralyzed from the right
shoulder to the right hip, unable to
feel the shock of an electric battery,
and has slight prospects of recovery.
Young Darling was brought home FRI
day after a stay of a week in the
academy hospital, but his condition has
been kept quiet. 1t is current talk that
the young mans condition is due to
hazing received at the hands of West
Point cadets, but there is no proof that
this was the case. Darling refuses
to make any explanation, and it is
supposed by some that this is due to
the fact that he hopes to return to the
academy and fears that any telling of
tales would interfere with pleasant
among his fellow cadets.
Owing to his physical condition Darl-
ing has been discharged from the
academy until he RECEIVERS his health
and if he is ever able to return 1t will
be necessary for him to pass another
physical examination. If his condition

THE COFFEE INDUSTRY.

According to a bulletin issued by the

the Queensland department of agricul-
ture has put out circular to the cof-
fee growers of the north offering con-
siderable aid to stimulate and enlarge

in the unevenness of the quality of

obtained from England complete

ing and grading berries. The machin-
cry has been erected at the Kamerunga
state nursery, where coffee in the dry
parchment state will be received and
hulled, graded and packed in bags for
the southern markets. The department
will not roast or grind coffee nor in
terfere with private enterprise, but will
assist the growers to put upon the
market properly graded article and
will dispatch it for sale so as to secure
the best prices The cost of freight

incidentals will be borne by the grow

this season, and the area growing it is
steadily increasing. The product met
with a ready sale at between "a and s.
per IL pounds. The lands under this
crop at present are chiefly near Clifton
and Toowoomba. The seeding grass
(Phalaris canariensis) is indigenous in
the Canary Islands, as its name sug-
gests, but it has become naturalized
here and in many parts of Europe.
There is considerable trade in canary
seed in Australia and the European
markets are not overstocked. 1t is not
only in demand as food for birds, but
in some manufacturing countries fine

cotton in weaving and for finishing off

to the commercial world. From that
time until recently the business grad
ually grew, until in 1902 the coffee
crop of the republic, which is about
the size of the state of Ohio, exceeded
100000 pounds of clean coffee.
sOnly small portion of the area
of the country is adapted to the cult
walton of Coffee the Consul adds.
g At present good government coffee
land is very scarce, but when found
can be had for about 80 to 40 cents
per acre, and when brought under cul-
tivation, with good stand of trees is
worth from 800 to $500 United States
gold or more. The coffee of commerce
grows in attitudes of 1000 to 5000 feet;
the best and most prolific trees at 1000
to 1000 feet. The labor is cheap, from
to 20 cents day lgold), hence
profitable, planters or capitalists get
ting as profit so to so per cent. of the
market value, usually from 6 to 20
cents per pound, hulled.
The industry as yet has not been
brought to very high state. Only
in a few cases has an effort been made
to crowd the coffee tree to see what
it could be made to do, and that was
one of the eases above mentioned,
where one tree produced % pounds.
This tree stood alone in garden and
had special attention and was fertl-
lized. 1t is thought that if the tree
was brought to high state of cultiva-
ton it could be made to double its
yield.
Guatemalan coffee is rated very
high in the markets of the world, and .
is the principal industry of the coun-
