UNCLE SANS COFFEE HOUSE.
Mysterious and Exhiarating Odors
from Washington Cellar.

Uncle Sam seems to have gone ex-
tensively into the coffee business, &C
cording to all accounts for it is said
that Washington cellar is now given
over to the purposes of the bureau of
plant industry of the agricultural de-
partment, where there seems to be a
constant brewing of coffee in progress
The place is under the supervision
OF Prof. Lewton, who refuses to di
vuige the nature of his work, as do
all the other officials attached to the
department, but it is said that expert
ments are being conducted on a num-
Der of subjects, drawn from the tramp
fraternity, and they are dosed with
coffee until they reach a state of
nervousness. They are hustled up to
Dr. Wiley, who subjects them to
ments.
Sometimes the clerks of the depart
ment are pressed into service and
launched on to coffee jag, during
which they are exempt from all re-
sponsibility for damages to the gov
eminent property. During such times
there are high jinks' in the way of
reckless pranks played on each other.
The coffee experiments have been
in progress some time and a great
mass of data has been compiled by
Prof. Lewton and will soon be made
up into the shape of a report. -Balti.

So render back to Him, before you die,

You cannot take it with you when you're

The love of riches is the root of evil

And Cupidity's the seed which made that
evil first to grow.
So if we want the root to go the seed
must be destroyed,
And our minds, too long luxurious, be
in sterner things employed.

The ode of which the following is
translation was written by Horace
the great Latin poet and philosopher
when Rome was the glorious Mistress
of the World. 1t seems like a pro
phetic vision of her subsequent ma
terial downfall and spiritual ascend
ency. The keen eye of the poet dis
cerned the Internal evils of his coun-
try and he here trumpets forth
warning blast against the AuXury and
materialism of the Roman people
which finally brought about the igno-
minious disintegration of the proudest
and mightiest empire the world has
ever seen. This translation is slight
ly paraphrased and adapted to the
modern reader, yet in substance it
endeavors to portray The thought of
the original, although the dramatic
compactness and picturesque felicity
of expression of the author are, of
course, lost in the rendering. The re-
markable similarity between the con-
ditions Horace here describes and de-
plores and those in our own country
at the present time should make food
for serious thought for our patriots
and publicists
What though your wealth be greater than
the treasures of Cathay
More fabulous than all the store of Ind
and Araby?
What though you've reared ten palaces
a hundred
Though a chauffeur speeds your auto and
your yacht pilot steers?
When the pirate flag of Fate is driven
in with clenching nails,
To wave upon your cupOla and flutter
Ger your sails
When below upon your downy bed the
fear of Death is nigh
When its clammy hand comes Ger you
and you know you soon must die
When your head within that lethal moose
you long have lodged is caught
Can escape with all your yenal, sordid
money THEN be bought?
A simple, happy life they lived in pa
triarchal days,
When their homes We're moving wagons
drawn along the earths highways;
When the fields bore fruits for all and
each one did his common share
or labor for the general good; when no
one was an heir;
When a mother was maternal and not
Fashions devotee
And she knew no racial suicide for So
cial sovereignty;
When an heiress with a dowry could not
tyranniZe a man,
Nor villain by his smoothness make a
wife a courteSan;
When each had one common heritage
one splendid legacy,
The virtue of their fathers and their
mothers chastity;
When couple clave together, both for
better and for worse,

THIS PLANT ACTUALLY COUGHS.
Curious Respiratory Bean of the

curious respiratory Bean of the
Tropics Chokes on Dust.
An interesting vine, known as the
coughing bean, is a respiratory plant
which is a native of moist tropical
regions. By accidental transportation
Of it's seeds it has gradually spread
to much less congenial spots, says the
Detroit Free Press, especially railroad
entertainments, where it endures
drought very WELL though it's growth
is stunted. But there is one thing it
cannot endure and that is dust.
When the breathing pores become
choked by dust the gases accumu
late within the leaf for time and
then are forcibly elected in an audi
BILE paroxysm of coughing and sneez
ing, which makes the leaf tremble
violently. At the same time the
whole plant becomes red, owing to
the subsiding of the green chlorophyll
grains and the appearance of parti-
Giles of red coloring matter on the sur
face
This odd vine is sometimes cult
waited as a house plant. Sweeping the
carpet Of the room in which it lives
is very apt to set the plant coughing,
much to the establishment OF persons
unfamiliar with its peculiarities.
