Americans as cofee prinkers

Washington, D. c., Sept. 29.-The
Department Of Commerce and Labor
has just given out a monograph on
the coffee trade of the world. which
will be printed in the forthcoming is
sue of the Monthly Summary of Com
merce," published by that department.
The report shows an enormous increase
in the cultivation and consumption Of
this stimulant, which is one Of the
most striking features Of the last quar-
ter Of century. According to the re-
port the center of production Of coffee,
which is an indigenous plant Of Afri-
ca, may be said to have been trans
ferred to South and Central America,
about three-fourths Of the worlds sup
ply being furnished at present by Bra
zil. The terms Mocha and Java, which
in olden times indicated the source Of
origin, have now become mere charac-
teristics Of quality and blend.
1t is an interesting fact that the rate
Of consumption wherever coffee has be-
come part of the popular diet, tends
to increase continually. The consump-
tion in the United States has increased
enormously and at present the Ameri-
cans consume between two-ffths and
one-half Of all the coffee produced
The statistics show that the per capi.
ia consumption Of coffee in some of the
principal countries for 1908 was as fol-
lows: United States, 1870; United
Kingdom, OIL; Germany, $50; France,
6,27; Holland, 14.39.

making this attraction one Of the larg'

with so many amusing and entertain

or loses its interest. A Hallowe ZEN
party with a pumpkin dance is some
thing new to the stage, and is one Of
the great attractions Of the play. The
costuming is very pretty and attrac-

worn. AS there are eleven ladies in

A Brand From the Burning.

Mr.. Bacon, as assistant secretary of
state, is a mystery. He can be ac-
counted for only as another brand
snatched from the burning. It will be
remembered that Mr.. Roosevelt took
Paul Morton out Of the fetid rebating
atmosphere and converted him to the
righteous life. As result Mr.. Morton
purified, reformed and shriven, is now
president Of an eloemosynary insur-
ance company at a salary Of 100000
Perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt is trying TO
render a service Of equal home-mis-
sionary value to society and Mr.. Nor
gan's former partner. Accordingly
Mr.. Bacon was showed into the first
office that became vacant, in order that
he might be held continually within

lent influence.
