To the Lovers of Good Coffee

We wish TO advise You that we have
installed in our store New ROYAL Flee
trio Coffee Mill, which Is being placed
on the market 10y 4 J. Deer Co., of
Buffalo, y. Y. 1, cuts the coffee, there
by increasing the quality 20 per cent
over the old style mills that crush the
coffee.
This new Electric Coffee Mill is equip
ped with knives Of razor sharpness. and
cuts the berry into uniform particles
doesn't crush or grind I'D, and the little
oil cells remain unbrokcn. The oil
known a. CafTcOne cannot evaporate.
and is preserved indefinitely. This is
one reason why pound Of coffee cut in
this mill will make from ten to twelve
cups more Of fun strength coffee than
will the same coffee ground in the oil
way. But the main thing about this mill
is that you can have your coffee cut as
line as the finest sand, and il will still be
free from the fine dust that is produced
by the old method of grinding, therefore
you will always have a clear cup of
coffee, instead Of the muddy effects
which are the result of the old method
of grinding.

TRAVELLING WITHOUT TIPS.
German Hotel Keeper Puts Ills The
Ory Into Practice.

German Hotel Keeper Puts His The
DRY Into Practice.
Herr Grauer. wealthy German no.
tel proprietor. has carried out an ex'
pertinent with amusing results on the
tipping custom. says the London Mail.
He had theory that oil hotel EN-.
ployes should be paid n living wage,
and that tipping should be abolished In
hotels.
SO he started. accompanied BY his
wife and daughter (the Lausanne CORE.
spondent writes) on three weeks tour
of the chief German and Swiss hotels.
determined not to spend n SOU on tips,
in order to test his opinions.
One weeks experience Of the conse-
quences was enough for his wife and
daughter. who returned home dlsap-
pointed and indignant with Herr Grau-
er for the discomfort and Insults to
which he had led them.
Mysterious hieroglyphics and secret
signs-known only to hotel employees
announced the arrival Of the Grauers-
''the non.tippers" the various re-
sorts they visited. The result was al.
ways the same-nobody seemed to want
them.
At the stations they were told that
the particular hotel where they wished
to stay was full the hotel omnibus
was merely waiting for few old ell
ents to depart" when they insisted OH
entering the omnibus there was nobody
to carry their luggage. and railway
porters had to be employed and paid.
Arriving at the hotel, their heavy bag.
gage was unceremoniously thrown on
the ground and the boxes were dam.
aged.
The maid took half an hour to an.
swer the bell, and the hot water
when 1t did arrive, was cold. At table
d'hote the Grauers were always served
with the last portion. The concierge
did not know" Of any interesting
trips in the neighborhood, and was gen
orally 'busy" when they descended tC
the hall. Complaints to the manager
were futile.
Herr Grauer. who persevcred witt
his three weeks tour to Its unpleasant
end. sums up his experiences a. In
Guiding the following:
Lost three trains; luggage unable t
Be found.
Had four pairs Of boots, two beini
new, ruined: cause unknown"
Two suits Of clothes, one dress. three
blouses mysteriously contracted inI
stains.
Herr Grauer now believes that tip
ping is a necessary evil. with q still
long life.

Finds Lake Of OuicksilveP.

A lake Of quicksilver. covering an
area Of more than three acres and
having depth ranging from ten to
fifty feet, has been discovered in the
mountains OF the State Of Vera Cruz.
Mexico, says the New York World.
The value Of the product Is estimated
ut many millions Of dollars.
The news Of this discovery was
brought to the City Of Mexico by c. A.
Bungi, reputable mining man, who
declared he was suffering from mer.
curial poisoning from having passed
much time investigating the extent Of
the lake and coming In contact with
the quicksilver. lie went to Santa
Rosalla springs In the state Of Chi.
huahua. where he took course Of
treatment for his ailment. He return
ed to Mexico City several days ago
fully restored In health.
Mr.. Bungi interested f. Lagerwall.
n wealthy iron manufacturer Of Swe-
den. who Is now In Mexico on business.
and J. Il. Feelln. Of New York, who
accompanied Bungi to the state of
Vera Cruz and proved the truth Of his
discovery.
This lake Of quicksilver has been
known to the Indians of that locality
for many generations. 1t Is situated
far up In the mountains In an almost
inaccessible position. Its surface Il
partly covered by stones. It Ia be-
lieved that volcanic action In the noun
talns above smelted the quicksilver
out Of the cinnabar ore ana that It raj
down and filed this depression.
Lagerwall and Feelin have agreed
to provide the capital for the opera
ton of the rich find. A tunnel will b.
driven through the base Of the noun
tain and the quicksilver will b.
brought down by means Of gravity.

UNIQUE ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK.

the Movements OF the Earth.
All the movements of the earth are
represented by remarkable astronom-
ical clock which yesterday was placed
OH public view ut the American Muse
um Of Natural History, says the New
York Herald. 1t was designed by DR..
Herman c. Bumpus, the director Of
the institution. and Is the result Of
months Of patient experiment.
1t not only shows the daily rotation
Of the earth upon Its axis, but the mo.
tlon about the sun, and also demon.
strates through all the year the changes
which cause the march Of the seasons.
The earth is globe Of paper COM
position four feet in diameter, while
the sun Is stcreopticon placed at q
distance Of ten feet. The light from
the stereopticon shines upon the sphere
in such manner ms to illuminate half
Of 1t at a time. The shadow Of wire
which IL back Of the lens corresponds
to the meridian of New York.
The earth Is caused to revolve BY
means Of n shaft which derives Ito
power from small Howard steeple
clock. This shaft passes through Q
wooden tunnel md communicates Ito
power to bevel gears. which cause the
sphere to be always changing Its poise.
BY watching the meridian shadow
the observer con always tell the time
Of day with mathematical accuracy.
No device Of its kind has ever been
exhibited In museum for the instruc-
ton Of the public. and this astrpnom.
ical clock rivals in its accuracy and In

SURPRISE WAS ON FATHER.

call surprise stories" In one called
1.-THE man who hid bis honey" which %
quoted by Dudley Kidd In volume on
tho ways Of Kafr children. the surprise
seems to have been on the father.
Long, long ago, runs the tale. man
had wife and three children. and they
ran out Of food. When they got hun.
cry the man went out to hunt, and
found some honey. He filed pot with
It, got reed and followed It out. Then
when no one was looking he hid the poi
In the ground under the ashes, and In
serted the reed through into the honey,
When the sun was setting that after
noon he called the children about him
to sing. and while they sang he sucked
honey through the reed. Again and
again no did this. and the children said
Father sucks ashes through q rest
every day"
But one day, when the father hat
gone hunting again, the youngest CHI
said. Let me suck ashes and b {
man like father" 70 he applied bill
lips to the reed.
10 bis delight, honey came up. and
he sucked till his cheeks were full. and
then the other children tried It The!
dug up the pot and emptied It, AMI
when they Had buried It again the!
put tho end Of the reed In the ashes
At evening their father came home.
When the children sang that svsninI
he put his lips to the reed, but mad
wry face. Again he tried, and agail
he made face 40 he tasted the ashe.
"What are you doing, papar aslke'
