COFFEE DRINKING.
Az 1t Has Developed in the English
Speaking World.

As 1t Has Developed in the English
Speaking World.
A writer in the London Times re-
Gently considered the subject of coffee
drinking in England, and noted, to
begin with that coffee was brought to
western Europe by Turks, who estab-
lished coffee rooms and roasted and
ground the berries, serving the bever-
age as it Is served to-day in the East,
gifts and all. Thence it came about
that coffee was from the first drank
as in its original country, and is so
drank now, only that the grounds, or
grits, as the English call them, are not
swallowed with the liquor, and, in
point of fact, 1t Is essential that the
coffee be settled" if not strained, and
the latter way is universal in England.
1t is not so in France, however,
where the coffee bean is ground to a
powder, and makes a muddy decoction
eastern fashion, instead of a clear
brown infusion. This, also, is a mode
in America, and although there are
regions where Goldfish skin or egg shells
are used to settle the coffee, more
antique" for the most part the strainer
or the thin cloth bag are in use to keep
out the grounds
At first we got our coffee from the
East home of the coffee bean; we
actually once had Java; we also had
Sumatra and Alden coffee, and Mocha,
most delicious of all. Still these names
are attached to the morning beverage,
and yet it is many a long year since
the American has known the taste of
the Asiatic bean; it would not pay to
import it, even If that could be done
and it cannot be done, for scarcely a
pound of it ever gets beyond Europe.
Even Europe has to drink African cof-
fee, while in America the southern half
Of our hemisphere furnishes our supply.

The arrival of hot weather means
sickness and suffering for the babies.
In some cases sickness and death are
inevitable, but much suffering may be
avoided, and the death rate lowered, if
mothers use better judgment in feeding
their children.
The babies that are fed as nature
meant they should be escape many
troubles that bottle-fed babies must en-
dure, but the really critical time is
when the little one is strong enough to
sit in the high chair, and the mother
has no better judgment than to give the
child some of everything on the table.
The teeth and digestive organs differ
ing in adults and babies would call for
different foods in most of families. If
you, being an adult, choose to live on
baby foods, that's your business, but if
you give the baby food suitable only
for an adult you'll have a funeral this
summer. The great pity of it all is
that the helpless child must suffer for
the mothers ignorance, and when final
ly the child dies, the Lord or the doc
tors are held responsible for the death.
The child should not be fed from the
table till a year old, then milk and
stale bread or soft boiled eggs and
bread crumbs may be given In small
quantities at the usual time of nursing.
and the child gradually weaned in this
manner. Study to know the foods suit
able to the age of your child, and there
will be fewer sick spells.-Ella X. Dear

Genesis of the Chauffeur.

Chauffeurs existed, says Figaro, long
before there were automobiles. His
tory tells us that along about the year
1895, there sprang up IN France, prin-
cipally in the eastern and central re-
gions, Enthusiastically dressed men with
their faces blackened with SCOT and
their eyes carefully concealed, who
gained admittance to farm houses and
other isolated dwellings at night and
committed all kinds of depredations
and outrages They had an atrocious
habit especially, from which they OBJ
tanned the name that posterity has pre-
served for them. They first garroted
their victims, and dragged them in front
of a great fire, where they burned the
soles of their feet. Then they demand
ed OF them where their money and
jewels were concealed Such interrog-
atories could scarcely be resisted. 1t
is from this that is derived the appella-
ton of chauffeur" which once so terri.
fed old ladies but which at present
evokes in us only cheerful and pleasing
thoughts of automobilisn. and of vow
ages and excursions ar twenty-five and
thirty miles an hour, in which there
is nothing but the roads and paved
streets that are scorched.- Scientifi,

Many women buy their gloves care
lessly. They do not examine the glove
and later find to their sorrow that the
glove that seemed pretty and effective
off the hand is badly made and of poor
material.
I'm selecting pair of gloves" said a
glove saleswoman, the best plan is to
test the kid by stretching it. Take the
side seams between the thumbs and
fingers and pull If the kid is soft and
pliable, the pores small, even and not
specially noticeable and the glove i'm
mediately takes on its original shape,
it gives evidence of not only being elias
tic and therefore full of new life but
of being of fairly good quality. The
heavy walking gloves can be tried in
the same way, but as sure test as any
is in smelling them, and if there is a
rather fragrant odor like that of Rus
sian leather, they, too should be all
right. The stitching in the seams should
all be carefully examined to see that it
is perfect and that there are none sewed
so close to the edges that they will
tear out. If well made they should
have a small gore between each of the
fingers"

a time. But she was destined to be
taught a new lesson
As she left the theater that night, after
having received her usual ovation, and
drove homeward, alone, a hanson follow
ed her carriage, and as she alighted at
her gate a mans figure approached her,
and took off his hat.
A bargain is bargain, Sylvia" Stan
ton said, In low voice, land / could not
wait till tomorrow"
You cannot come in now. 1t is too
late,' she said, hurriedly.
Stanton laughed as he held open the
gate.
AS in few days we shall be man
and wife, l can be allowed certain priv
ileges, Sylvia" he said. But if you fear
TO shock your servants, we can talk in the
garden. The night is lovely, the air mild F;
it can do you no harIa."
Sylvia Castella paused an instant ;
then, with shrug of her shoulders, pass
ed up the path and entered the house.
Yet sbA shivered as she heard his step
behind her. She had the feeling upon
her that he was changed man-that for
her sake he had taken upon himself some
dark burden and she was much nearer
the truth than she supposed.

or crepe lisse as trimming. There are
mourning textures in cloth and silk
fabrics. Black belts and ribbons may
also be worn. If black is preferred
two years for heavy black for hus-
band, two years for parent or child and
six months for sister or brother is the
usual time for wearing it. After that
it may be lightened. The stationery is
usually deep branded for heavy mourn
ing, growing lighter by degrees. At any
stationery store they win tell you the
latest rulings in this respect. In re-
ply to letters of coincidence a black
bordered calling or correspondence card
is used. and on it may be simply writ
ten, Thanking you sincerely for your
sympathy" Face wells are short with
hem. The heavy crepe wells that used
to be worn are never seen now. Even
if a black veil is used over the hat, it
comes scarcely to the shoulders, and the
face veil is separate from the one on
the hat.

Justice David J. Brewer contributes
an interesting article on woman in
the Professions" in the Delineator.
The justice comments on the fact that
during the last half century woman has
broken down the doors of entrance into
professional life, that she is no longer
merely an incident but a conspicuous
factor in politics and many of the pro-
LESSONS. To quote in part:
She has a brain and is capable of
receiving the highest educational train
ing. The land is covered with co-edu-
cational colleges and universities, and
no one has yet had the hardihood to
say that she does not make success
of her work in them. In the realm of
literature she Is constantly present.
Prose and poetry are at her command.
Who writes the most of our acceptable
storiesT What masculine poet dares to
look down on Mrs. Browning? No long
er are face and form everything. We
have learned to behold the intellect in
her. We see her in the pulpit, at the
bar, and in the doctors Office. She
knows something of the Bible, quotes
Blackstone, and, like masculine doc
tors, writes prescriptions in a dead Ian
guage. She claims the right to be in
every department of professional life,
and many are asking how far she has
gone and will go in that life; what
has been and what will be her success
True, she has not yet become baseball
or football champion and this depart
ment of culture still remains the pecu-
liar occupation of masculine students
But who knows how soon she may be-
come a successful competitor therein?
She is developing as an athlete. Some
so-called physiological statisticians af-
firm that her average stature is increas-
ing. In the economic world she has
broken the confnements of home and
entered the doors of outside toll. She
has established the fact that she has a
mind as well as a heart"

why Women Grow Tired.

A wise counselor tells tired women
that 1t is not the work they do that
tires them. it is the way they do it.
The woman whose work is never out
of her mind is the woman who is al
ways tired. The farmers wife doing a
weeks work in her Imagination, after
she goes to bed the bookkeeper search
ing in her dreams through columns
of figures for an obstinate balance-all
these are tired because they do not
know what it is to have mind at
ease.
A story is told of conscientious wor-
rier, who, hurrying about her work,
slipped and fell The result, a broken
hip, placed her for weeks out of reach
of ''the things which must be done. .
Weeks of lonely rest brought her a new
perspective of life, and a conviction
that peace of mind is more than pies
and cakes. Realizing at last that the
worst enemy of good work is worry she
afterward said, with peaceful smile,
my broken hip saved my life and
soul'

GREAT WHEAT CROP.
Experts Declare Yield This Year
VIII BE a Record-Breaker.

Experts Declare Yield This Year
VIII BE Record-BrealSer.
National prosperity far in advance of
the highest Known records is indicated
in the crop estimate of II. V. Jones, the
Minneapolis crop estimator, who gave
out his annual bulletin at noon Thurs
day. The winter wheat production OF
the United States he gives as 100000
600 bushels, 100000 bushels over last
year, and the record crop of winter
wheat ever produced. Cotton and corn
are in exceedingly good condition, and
with hot July and August may also
break the record; but nothing but a
wet harvest can lower the wheat crop,
says the Jones estimate.
In company with John fnglis, Mr..
Jones has just completed a careful tour
of the winter wheat producing regions
of the country. Grain merchants and
railroads throughout the country await
ed the publication of his report with
great interest, Wall street and the
! Southwestern markets cheering when it
was bulletined. Summaries of the re-
! port We're sent TO Liverpool and Eng
/ land, where it was received with Won
der.
! The crop of Illinois is estimated at
100000 bushels, of Indiana $4,000
600, and Ohio 100000, all much in
excess of last year Michigan is slight
ly behind The West and Southwest
double their production.
Upon the crop production the whole
material prosperity of the country for
the year depends, the report proceeds,
and especially the welfare of the rail
roads, which are peculiarly dependent
on the crops. Wide extension through
out the Northwest and Southwest is in
dicated, and general expansion.
The report gives Texas this year A.
100000 bushels, or twice the yield of
last year; oklahoma 2S,000000 BUSH
els, or mor~ than double the yield last
year, and record crop for the new
State; Indian Territory, 100000 bush
| els; Kansas, 100000 bushels, about
the same as last year; Nebraska, 3d.
100000 bushels, about the same as last
year. Missouri, 100000 bushels, same
as last year
California is given 100000 bushels,
or twice last years crop. On this basis
the Southwest raises about 25,000,000
bushels more than last year. The
Southern and Eastern States and Ore
gon make up the balance, all the States
having a good average yield except
Michigan, which is probably the light
est in average yield. For Oklahoma
government acreage is increased in this
estimate 100000 bushels.
The Canadian Northwest has the
best promise for crop that country
has ever known. The acreage is the
largest, and with favorable conditions
the yield of wheat will surpass all pre-
vious years. The official estimate of the
Canadian Department of Agriculture
gives the acreage seeded to wheat at
1914. 537 acres. On the basis of twen-
ty bushels per acre it suggests har-
vest of 62, $4,000 bushels in Manitoba,
and in the Canadian Northwest of 3d.
| 100000 bushels. The increase in the
acreage under cultivation in wheat is
474.000 acres. There is also a larger
area under oats and barley than in pre-
vious years There has been plenty of
rain, and the crop is reported as in the
best of condition.

Enhancement Rings.

An engagement ring should never be
regarded as woman's property till the
marriage service has been read. There
may be urgent reasons for breaking en-
gagements to marry, and the ring
should then be returned 10 the giver.
Should he ask that it be kept as a
pledge of friendship, it can be done
without offending good taste very
much; but such thing rarely hap
pens. The ring is money investment
to young man; and. besides, there are
other girls in the world, says an ex-
change. Usually men have the good
sense to make no fuss over a woman's
greediness, hat an occasional man
wants not only his ring but all the 9TH
er presents he has given returned; and
the law says he has a right to them
whenever the law is asked to settle the
question.

wfve. Wanted in Canada.

Canada is winning the unenyiable
reputation of an Eveless Eden. The
men outnumber the women, and even
immigration does not mend matters, for
1t is figured that of the 1900 new set
tiers who have arrived in Canada since
the first of the year not more than S
per cent of them have been women.
OF this s per cent the majority were
married women. In the western part
OF the Dominion the lack of women is
a serious handicap to the development
of the country. The settlers cannot
find wives. and as q woman plays just
as important part as man in the
drama Of new country, the govern
ment Of Canada is worried over the
unenviable situation.

strangled sort of way. Are you telling
me, Edward, that Gerald Tenby has pro-
posed for ,Antonia?"
A great sorrow came into Edward
Marchmont's eyes.

swered. Does this surprise you, Betty
Betty Marchmont was white TO the
lips. She dared not let her husband see
her face. She moved restlessly to the win
dow and stood looking out into the street
with eyes that saw nothing, so bitter and
overwhelming was the modification that
crowded her heart.
81 told my brother" said her husband,
slowly, that though l know practically
nothing of Gerald Tenby, l thought it
possible that you would be able to enlight-
en- him thoroughly. However, there will
be no need TO discuss this matter, for An
tonia has no intention of becoming Ger
aid Tenby's wife"
Lady Betty quivered as if she had been
struck. Though these words gave her re-
lief in one sense, they stung her in an
other.
"One thing is very certain" Lady Bet
ty said, finally, "and that is Antonio can
not remain here
"She has no intention of doing so,
replied Mr.. Marchmont, very quietly. In
an hours time or so she will have gone
and to me, at least, her departure Will sig
nifty a great loss"
He walked to the door, and opened 1t
for his wife to pass out as he said this,
and Lady Betty went with a laugh.
When she was outside, she did not
laugh; she walked slowly up the stairs,
and her face was convulssd with passion
Even now she could hardly bring her
self to believe that what her husband had
told her could be true If she could have
been sure of seeing Gerald she would have
returned to his chambers; but she had no
desire to come in contact with George
Stanton a second time
She had reached her own room by this
time, and she pulled down the blinds with
a jerk, and threw herself into a chair to
sit and weave out her best way of working
her will.
