 Cur,onities of coffee.

Coffee, as experts are aware. mas very extraordinary property. It IS one of the most absorbent matters III eA- istence. Coffee beans placed in damp room swell and absorb moisture uil they nearly double their weight Here is the chance of the dishonest grocer Not content with the amount of pront made upon coffee. he places pals or water in a room with piles of uncov- cred coffee beans. and by swelling the coffee adds something like 30 per cent to his profits. The flavor Is ruined nu' that does not matter to him. So ah' sorbent Is coffee. not only of moisture. but of gases and flavors. that shippers of Brazilian coffee always stipulatc that the sacks of fresh Rio beans shall never be carried on a steamer which has raw hides as any part of her car go These will taint the coffee more surely than anything else and render 1t unfit for use. The useful side of this quality of coffee IS that in a sick room a handful or two of fresh roasted and ground beans act as an excellent purifier and deodorizer.

One of the most attractive and in- structive corners in the woman De- partment at the State Fair Is the dis- l play of the silk worm industry by Mrs. A. A. Thrower of Grady. Mrs. Thrower and her daughter were kept busy all of yesterday showing the cocoons. tho method of spinning the silk and explaining the interesting his tory of the silk from the laying or the egg by the silk worm to the weaving of the strands of silk into cloth ana the garments which they had made from the silk which they spun. Mrs, Thrower does not raise the silk worms for commercial reasons. but for the pleasure that she takes in the interest ing work. For more than twenty years she had devoted a great deal Of her time to the silk worms.
 Listening to Mrs. ThroWer as she talks of her work, one gathers thar early in the spring, when the mulberry trees begin to put forth their leaves from the eggs of the butterfly, which has been carefully preserved from tho year before, the silk worm is matched. Then the work of the caretaker begins. The worms are tended with great care.
 They are fed constantly on the leaves of the mulberry tree until they rea+f the stage where they begin to enclose themselves within the meshes of the cocoon. It is then that the real in teresting part of the transition period takes place. and where good Judgment on the part of the one cultivatins the worms must be exercised. The next stage in the natural development pro- cess Is the bursting of the cocoon ane the coming forth into the world Of butterfly The cocoon Is made of onr tiny continuous thread of silk. and II the butterfly is allowed to develop sur fciently to burst the cocoon and come out the cocoon is rendered useless fo- silk as the thread Is thereby broken into tiny pieces So the cocoon must be carefully watched and when about fully developed degree of heat sui ficient to kill the butterfly within and vet not enough to injure its coat Of thread Is applied. This operation re- ouires patience and good iudgme It as f, the adjustment of the heat and as to the exact time at which 1t is to be ap- piled.
 Another interesting fact in the his tory of the silk worm Is that for the continuance of the industry some of the butterflies must be allowed to matur" and come out of tn cocoon. After they bust their bonds. they are placed in cages made for the purpose and their eggs are preserved during the winter and the narrator was back where she started, so far as the part which Inc silk worm plays in the story.
 But the interesting featrues of the industry is not nearly exhausted with the death of the butterfly. In the case

He stated that while in the woods in charge of an officer, that he was kept in a hay loft with a chain around his neck.
 The letter was addressed to one of the editors of an afternoon paper. The negro will begin his twenty years sen- tence al once at Pratt Mines.
