From sad experience the frequenter OF
summer boarding houses has discovered the
dearth of drinkable coffee provided at table.
The woman devoted to her morning cup of
this beverage will see that she and her
coffee pot are not separated during the sum-

stored in tin box. and while dressing each

Written for The Star.
Most families will soon be en- route for
their annual outing of the year. II the
vacation time is TO be spent in the cramped
and inconvenient quarters provided by the
average boarding house or hotel there are
a number of inexpensive little luxuries that
will add a thousandfold to the comfort of
the holiday season.
Almost at the top of this list Is the ham,
mock-a good, strong one-with stretchers
and a few cheaply covered pillows to use
when one takes a comfortable lounge In Its
depths. No hammock is complete without
them. and they are useful at other times as
well. The regulation boarding house sell
dom boasts more than one of these luxuries.
and If more are provided the supply is never
equal to the demand. But the most can
tankerous landlady will not object to a
guest swinging her own hammock under a
favorite tree or in an out-of-theway place

From the London Chronicle.
little labor is the acknowledged neces-
sary prelude to the pleasure of a fallen
world. To peel a walnut is a trial of fin-
gers and of patience; bu, the grocer who de-
vised the sale of the scalded and blanched
nut deprived 1t OF all it's charm. To pick
fruit for yourself is TO assure its freshness.
and also. in a sense. to earn your refresh
ment. The proof of the principle was In
the eating OF strawberries and cherries at n
party given by Lady Swan at Holland
Park. where plants and trees. laden with
growing fruit, had been planted for the
pluckfng of the guests. Sir Joseph Swan.

King Corn.
from the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
The seasonable heat is oppressive to hui

Ing millions 10 the wealth of the country In
the production of huge crop of this great
cereal The July report of the Department
of Agriculture presents an exceedingly
promising outlook. The average planted is.
with one exception, the largest on record.
1t is predicted that the yield will be over
two and a IaIf billion bushels. In ten years
the annual yield has increased by billion
bushels. In the interval the use of corn as
a food for man has greatly increased
abroad. Some years ago steps were taken
by the federal government to stimulate the
consumption OF the cereal in portions of Eu-
rope where it's value as a foodstuff was
scarcely known Great quantities of corn
are consumed in southern and eastern Eu-
scarcely known. Great quantities OF corn
are consumed in southern and eastern Eu-
rope and in the orient, but until recently II
was little known in northern Europe. Our
exports responding to the increased de-
mand In that region.
In 1902 as much corn was produced in the
United States as in the whole world in 1897
In 1SSS our corn crop reached l,9Ss, 600 coo
bushels. In the previous year the crop the
world over was several r1illions of bushels
less. The production OF corn has increased
In recent times more rapidly than that OF
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas Nebraska Missouri
and Indiana. This group produced in 1893
three-fifths of the entire crop of the coun-
try. Fifty bushels per acre is a frequent
yield. but the average for the country is
about twenty-five. Under extraordinary CIR
cumstances 23T bushels per acre have been
grown. Canada raises ordinarily about
thirty-two bushels to the acre, an excellent
showing, but the total yield IS small. Among
the corn-producing countries of Europe,
Russia, Austro-Hungary and the Danubian
states are In the lead. Efforts have been
made to make Egypt great maiZe-produc-
Ing region, but the yield Is falling off, and
in Europe it is increasing so slowly that
there is no probability that ii will ever APP
preach that of the United States. Argen-
tina and Java make a fair showing, but
contribute comparatively little to the total.
1t is noted by n Chicago contemporary that
in the worlds fair year of 1888 our corn
acreage was less by ~ O00o00 acres than It
is now. This increase in acreage is almost
as large as the entire area devoted to this
crop in all Europe few years previous y
The United States is the worlds corn field.

Aliens in London's West End.

From the Westminster Gazette.
There were aliens In the West End as
well as in the East End. Take the cases of
man who came to London for a night
pleasure to see what was going on here.
AT West End hotel he was received by a
cashier who was a Frenhman. shown to the
lift by a German. and Swiss took him to
his room and carried his luggage. He or
dered his dinner from French maitre
d'hotel, he was served by a German and
the food was cooked by a French chef. At
terward he entered a motor car driven by a
French chauffeur, and he visited the Italian
opera. The overture at the opera was play
ed by a foreign band. and the only man
who looked like an Englishman was the
player of a triangle. After the opera his
supper was served in an italian restaurant
and he went home after smoking Turkish
cigarette. On his way home he was accosted
by French. Austrian and German demi-
mondaines.

patience with those horrid children.
Easy Discipline.
During the summer holidays discipline Is
apt to be overthrown. and the childs guard
ians are heard all over the place calling for
their charges. All this noise and fuss may
be avoided IL whistle is blown when play
time is up-a whistle sounded decisively. so
that appeals "for a minute more will be

The salvation of older children is holi-
day Job" such as collection OF photo
graphs scenery or places of interest visited
These prints should be stuck In a book
made for this purpose. with brown or tinted
paper on one side and ruled paper on the
other sheet. In this way kind of illus
trated diary is kept by writing on the ruled
paper description of the pictured object.
Much of the interest of the family holi-
day depends upon whether the parents are
well informed about natural history and the
like. If they know about tides. WINDS
rocks and sand trees and flowers. they are
able to keep their children in a happier
frame of mind than when ignorant OF these
matters. / know one mother who was as
Disguised with her own inability to answer
questions that when she returned to town
she worked through many books in order
to become a walking encyclopedia for her
children.
Learn Flowers.
Beautiful flowers that abound in most
places in the country are often sent to the
stay-at-homes, and a little knowledge Of
when and what to pick and how to pack
them may not come amiss. Never pick those
that are full blown. On the other hand
they should not be in the very early bud
ding stage or they may not come out in
water. Buds three-fourths blown and
blooms which are just well opened
| travel best and last longer. Pick be-
fore the sun Is high and place the
flowers in water in cool place for some
hours before packing and posting, or pick
over night, leave in water and pack and
send off by the early morning post If this
will enable the flowers to reach their destl-
nation the same day. If blossoms are
picked In the sun and not allowed to drink
their I'LL of water 1t is just chance If they
will recover from the harsh treatment.
And now to packing. Choose the box
carefully with view to the length of the
stalks of the flowers you are sending and
above all pack tightly, for II the blossoms
shift about In the box they will surely be
spoiled. l have found it best to tie each va
rety of flowers in bunch, wrap the stalks
with damp tissue paper and then pack the
punches head to tail, sardine-wise, and all
most as tightly. Do not attempt to pack
heavy blossoms, such as peonies, with more
delicate flowers.
If your gift Of flowers is to be truly well
coined choose them with care. Give a
thought to the room in which they are
likely to be placed and try to include flowers
and foliage to decorate the dinner table.
