It would be a waste Of time to at
tempt to prove to Mr. Davies the
excellency of our coffee and we sbell
not undertake it. -
That proof has been furnished
many times by those who have the
knowledge and authority to offer it;
it has been proclaimed time and
again by the European countries.
which, according TO tie amazing opin-
ion of Mr.. Davies, BUY Porto Rican
coffee because they lack the know
ledge of its best preparation and ha-
We not the exquisite taste peculiar to
the coffee drinkers Of the great Amer
lean Republic.
This IS an assumption too mons
trous and ridiculous to be noticed,
such an affirmation can only arouse
our pity and compassion. It is not
the writer in The Sun, neither
the vendors> nor the consumers Of
coffee in the Uuited States who are in
a position to give Us information or
ladvice regarding an article which
has world wide fame and universal
recognition. Some things are not
open to discussion and one of those
things is the quality Of our coffee.
Give Us Tariff protection, let us
enjoy the same commercial privile
ges as the United States, and there
will be no necessity for our having
to submit to unjust comparisons nor
proofs touching Our principal article
lot commerce. Given that, and we
will have an ample and fixed market
for our coffe, aud the poor taste and
| ignorance of consumers in the mot
her country will be q matter Of alb
solute Indifference.
It is not the stupidity and absurd
judgment of our critics that leads us
to protest, all such are welcome to
their idiotic opinions, what does
arouse our Indignation is the unjust
and discriminating tariff which works
us such ipcalcnlable injury and harm,
tariff which forces rs to consume
articles, in the majority of cases,
Of doubtful quality, for the benefit of
those who commit the unpardonable
injustice of making absurd comparis-
ons and offering worthless proofs in
order to justify their ignominous
lneg]eet in not giving us a market
in the United States for our coffee.
We ask nothing more than that we
be given the same protection for our
products as we give those Of the
mother country.

It seems unnecessary, after all that
has been said and written regarding
our coffee and its markets. to take
the time or trouble to discuss the
extraordinary opinion expressed by a
certain, Mr. r. II. Davies who sent
letter to The New York Sun, pret-
ending to prove that our coffee is not
used in the United States because
from the comparisons that have been
made with the coffee of Central
America, our grain, in the Judgment
of Mr.. Davies, is inferior to that of
Mexico and other coffee producing
countries.
1t is unfortunate that we are not
informed by whom the proof has be
en- offered and who has the requisite
knowledge and intelligence to make
it, and it is also unfortunate that af-
ter making an explanation-w which we
confess TO being unable to compre-
hend-the writer of the letter sent to
"The New York Sun" does not enl-
ighten us as to who it is in the Unit
ed States that has undertaken to
make those comparisons and furnish
those proofs on which is based the
belief that our coffee is inferior to
to that of other countries, a view only
possible with those who are acoustic
med TO using an inferior and ordina.
ry grade, coming from countries
which are incapable Of producing a
grain equal to ours.
If we were to make proofs and
comparisons here Of the various ar
ticles we are forced to consume, ow-
ing to the imposition Of tyrannaos
and unfair tariff; if we were able to
compart the rice of Louisiana with
that Of Valencia or Hamburger, the
wines of California with those of
Castillo or Navarro, the -four, soap,
paper and other articles we import
from the United States with the same
articles Of other countries, a thing we
are unable to DO because the existing g
tariff will not permit or tolerate any
sort of commercial competition, what
would Mr.. Davies and all those self
styled authorities and experts in the
United States who presume to pass
Judgment on the quality of our coffee,
say to us3
We have the same right to make
criticisms and comparisons of the
articles sent to as by the United Sta
tes as It has to make comparisons
with what we send there.

same purpose as oyster sauce. Fossil bly also a few snails in steak and kidney pudding would increase tho tastiness of this popular food.
 Care must be exercised in the choice of the snail for food purposes, as it Is well known that snails feed on poison ous plants, and it is the custom in France to allow few days to elapse after they have been taken from their feeding ground in order that any poi sonous matters may be eliminated. Most of the snails in France used fof edible purposes are collected from the vineyards of Burgundy, Champagne and Lorraine, which, we may be sure, afford a perfectly clean feeding ground for the snail considering the care which is taken to protect the vines from disease.
 According to analysis, very nearly 90 per cent of the solid matter of the snail is proteid matter available direct ly for repairing the tissues of the body. Besides this, there are about per cent of fat and per cent of minegal matter, including phosphates. Compared with the oyster, this would show that the snail contains about 100 per cent more nutritious substances. The suggestion, therefore, that the snail should be used for food is not merely sentf- mental

SNAKE BIT HOE,
And Handle SweIled and Turned Most
 Beautiful Green.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 The following story is told me by man prominent in the community in which formerly lived He is a man whose veraci- ty have no reason to doubt.
 A farmer of a small tract of land near an Ohio village was one day hoeng pota- toes when he was startled by a hissing sound. Looking up. he saw something that appeared to be a snake advancing toward him. It was rolling oyer and over, like a hoop in motion. He soon saw that it was a real snake and observed that it was coming on fast-so fast that he just had time to step aside As the snake passed the farmer stuck out his hoe and the snake struck at it, burying it's fangs in the handle and then passed on.
 The farmer started to resume his work, when he noticed that the hoe handle be- gan to swell. 1t swelled and swelled until it was as large as the farmre's leg, The farmer was perpleXed, as he wished to finish his work and his house was some distance away. Then 1t occurred to him that as a boy he had heard of sort of weed that grew whereabouts and said to have been used by the Indians to counter act the effects of snake bite. He went down into the bottoms, found the week and rubbed some of it on the hoe handle. The result was immediate. The swelling went down and the farmer was enabled to finish his afternoons work. The strang est thing about the incident was that the handle turned a beautiful green color, like that of the snake. and afterwards in the full of the moon it would feel clammy for a day or two

SNAILS AS FOOD.
About 100 Per Cent More Nutritious
 Than Oysters.

A dish of snails Is hardly ever seen in Great Britain, although in Spain and in France this mollusk is fairly com mon article of food among the poor, while 1t is held in great esteem by the gourmet when it is stewed and gar nished with herbs and condiments, says the London Lancet. The sugges- tion that the snail should form cheap article of food in England has been revived, and there is nothing to be said against the proposal from a dietetic point of view, for, properly cooked, the snail Is both nutritious and tasty.
 If, however the suggestion were seri- ously acted upon, we fear that the sup ply in England would prove to be short of the demand. But doubtless the snail could be cultivated as is the oyster when 1t was found that it had gained a considerable patronage. The snail has indeed been called 'the poor man s oyster" though we do not remember to have seen it eaten raw. We know, however, that it makes an excellent fish sauce and may be used for the

PREACHER PUGlLIST
Says a Prayer In the Ring Before He
 Starts to Fight
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 It Is the custom of Stonewall Allen, the negro pugilst-preacher to say prayer in the ring just before he engages In a fight. Stonewall fights every night In the week except Sunday. He is 52 years old, but has "wallop' that is a wonder, and it is a rare thing for young fighter to get the decision over the veteran. Ever since three-round bouts have been permitted in this city, Stonewall has been coining money. He gets $10 or $l5 d night, and as he would rather fight than eat, it is great fun for him
 The sports looked upon his praying and his preaching with tolerance at first, but now they are getting tired of it. At the Pelican Athletic club, on Third avenue near Sixty-sixth street, Brooklyn, last Thursday night, they put up a job to "queer" Stonewal Just before the bell rang for his bout they threw half adozen buckets of water into that end of the ring, which he was to occupy. As the old darky climbed under the ropes and saw how the floor had been soused, he looked grieved.
 Dat certainly am sinful" he said as he put on his boxing gloves. He took up his chair and carried 1t over to the other end of the ring, where there were some dry spots. Then he set it down and, flop ping onto his knees and resting his arms on the chair, he offered up a prayer. Pos sibly becauce of the soaking of the ring he made his prayer longer and more fer vent than usual. He had not proceeded far with 1t when an irreverent man yelled:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-05-13

"Cut it out Deacon; cut 1t out! The crowd joined in the cry.
 The preacher looked scandalzed. Stop ping for moment he said, "Gemmen, behave,' and then he proceeded with his prayer.
 Say, Deacon" spouted a man in the crowd when the preacher finished, there E a place for praying and there's place for fighting and they're not in the same place"
 "Is dat so?" inquired Stonewall Well sir, I does some of my prayin' where does my fightin Now dat I've done my prayin' I'm ready for my fightn'. MT Referee, Is ready any time you is.'
 And he was.
 He was all over his antagonist a few moments after the bell rang for them tC begin. For three rounds he smashed al the head and body of his opponent, and if the fellow had not been in remarkably good condition he would have been knock ed out
 Then the parson-pugilist collected his s1l and departed.
