France Gives Roosevelt Credit.

Paris, Aug. 30.-The unwavering con-
viction of France that President Roose-
velt's initiative would eliminate in
peace has received its reward.
The news of the successful termina-
ton of the conference at Portsmouth,
which was first made known through
the Associated Press bulletin, produced
a profound impression when it was
communicated to the members of the
diplomatic corps and the high officials
OF the government, who unanimously
expressed the keenest satisfaction that
the heavy strain and anxiety had been
removed and President Roosevelt's un-
relenting persistency was generally
considered to have been the main fac
tor in bringing about the happy result.

THE AzTEcS OF OLD.
Not Only Great Soldiers, but Great cui-
tivators as Well.

The Aztecs of old were not only
great soldiers, but also diligent cui-
tiyators of the soil, and had acquired
considerable proficiency in agricul.
ture, although they had no horses,
oxen or other animals of draft. To
this day the men earn their living
chiefly as day laborers in the fields
now owned by the Mexicans. The
staple product ROW, as of yore, is
the maize and next to it the maguey
or agaye, the sweet sap of which is
the principal materiM for the ia
nous Mexican pulque.
Some species are cultivated as veg
etables, Others for the sake of their
leaves, which yield a strong fiber
that can be woven into fabrics;
hence the saying the agaye sup
plies the people with drink, food and
clothing. The men have little ambi.
ton to excel in handicraft. Farriery
and carpentry are about the only
trades they care to take up. In the
cities they work as porters, carriers
or peddlers in small way.
Like all southern Indians, their
complexion is of rudy chocolate
brown, and they are not particularly
good looking. Most Of the women
now have large hands and feet, prob
ably the inheritance of generations
Of hard workers. And they are
strong. In the warehouse of wine
merchant an Aztec porter was seen
to take a cask of claret on his back
and carry it quite distance.
The load certainly weighed not
less than 400 pounds, and no white
man would have thought of lifting
it. The law requires the people in
the cities to forsake the Indian
breechcloth and poncho and assume
the regulation garb of the poor
workin class of Mexico-the wide,
loose 'ousers of cotton cloth or
manta, with jacket to match-but
the breechcloth is worn outside Of
the trousers and thereby replaces
the civilized suspenders. Southern

HOW COFFEE GROWS.
Altitude Makes a Big Difference In Size
and Color of the Beans.

Up to 1890 the sole source of the
coffee supply was Arabia, but in
that year it was introduced into
Java by the governor general of the
island, and the climate was found
to be so well adapted to it that cult
walton was begun on a large scale.
One of the first plants grown in
Java was sent to the botanical gar
dens at Amsterdam, and seed from
1t was sent to Surinam, resulting in
its introduction into that country
in 171S. Ten years later it found
its way to the West Indies, and from
that time its cultivation has been
general throughout the inhabited
portions of the tropics. The regions
best adapted to its culture are well
watered mountain slopes, varying
from 1000 to 1000 feet in altitude
and between the parallels of Is de-
grees north and Is degrees south
latitude.
According to the altitude at which
it is grown, the coffee bean varies
in size and color, that from the
highlands being small and light
green and nearer the coast of yell
low tinge and much larger. The
wild trees of Liberia, which flourish
in lowlandS, produce the largest
beans known, which are, however,
inferior in quality, as is the case
with the majority of the African
product. Eastern coffee generally
may be distinguished by its yellow
color and large beans as compared
with the smaller green berries Of
Central and South American
growth.
In its wild state the coffee tree is
slender, reaching a height of twelve
to twenty feet, but under cultivation
it is pruned to grow not more than
six or eight feet high. The leaves
resemble those of the laurel, though
not so dry and thick, and are ever
green, while the flowers are some
what like the jasmine. The trees
are completely covered with BIOS
SONS, which perfume the whole
countryside. The fruit resembles
The cherry very much, especially
when ripe, when it is dark purple.

AGE and Gray Hair.

As age advances the hair grows
gray by a natural process, but this
may be much fastened by severe
anxiety or other causes, and in many
instances premature blanching Of
the hair is hereditary. AS the change
is taking place hairs may often be
found which are white at their
bases, but retain their color at their
ends. Brown-Sequard kept con-
slant watch on some of the hairs OF
his own beard while it was turning
gray and found that at times an en-
tire hair would change in the course
Of a night. This loss Of color seems
to be due partly to loss Of power
to produce pigment and partly to
the presence Of air in the hair

One Experience Enough.

When four-year-old Gertrude had
cried for four successive nights with
toothache and none of the family
had been able to sleep well papa
took her to the dentist and had the
offending tooth drawn. Gertrude
willingly submitted to the operation,
not knowing the pain connected
with it, but was very indignant at
her father after it was all over.
Some time afterward she had q
canker sore on her upper gum, and
while at the breakfast table she bit
upon crust of bread and could not
avoid an exclamation of pain.
"What's the matter now" asked
papa.

COFFEE AS A FUMIeANr.

lie Punssnt Burning odor Eats W
pisasresabIe Smells.
Coffee is an excellent fumigant,
and one whose pungent odor van
ishes more quickly than those in or
binary use," Professor Marcus l.
Epstein states. mo matter what
the disagreeable odor in the apart
ment may be, the coffee not only
drives it out, but absorbs, decom-
poses it, one might say, and replaces
it with the healthy odor of coffee,
which cannot be disagreeable even
to the most sensitive.
"a proof Of the fact that the cof-
fee actually absorbs the other oder
is found when the coffee is first
burned. If it simply drove the 9TH
er odor from the room, the smell Of
coffee around the stove w6fld be
very strong, but it can hardly be
noticed for some minutes, and then
appears generally in all portions Of
the place being fumigated. To use
coffee as a fumigant a quantity
must be crushed and placed on the
top of a very hot stove and allowed
to burn, either directly on the stove
or in receptacle provided for the
purpose. 1t destroys all odors ef-
fectually, and its own odor will vans
ish in One-ffth the time it takes to
get rid Of sulphur. Furthermore.
one may move about in the room at
viii without suffering any incon-
yepience. A test of the utility Of
burning coffee for this purpose was
recently made.
"a quantity of meat in very bad |
condition was placed in a room and
allowed to remain there, with tho |
doors and windows closed, for some
hours. When the room was opened
the odor was such that none could
enter without protecting their nos
trils, but quarter of a pound of
coffee poured on the stove caused
it to vanish completely within less
than five minutes, and three min
utes later the coffee odor had disap-
peared, and the atmosphere was
fresh and sweet. st. Louis Globe
