The Northern idea as to coffee Is to
roast It a light brown and brew it into
a thin LIQUID resembling tea The
Southern idea is to roast the coffee to
a rich, dark brown and make It into
thick black frothy liquid Of pro-
nounced strength and flavor.
The Southern roast is by far the
most economical, for very small
quantity with an extra amount of
water win give a coffee up to North
ern table standards, while the usual
quantity made in the usual way salts
fes the Southern taste for a strong
sustaining beverage. These facts
should be kept in mind in buying
coffee. To be assured Of satisfactory
results, one should use a brand pre-
pared according to Southern idea
say Luzianne Coffee, put up in New
Orleans and now sold everywhere
throughout the South. We know of
no better brand on the market for all
around family use and for economy

PLUMBERS IN CHILE.
Many cities Putting In Water and
Sewage Systems.

Good plumbers are now said to go
to Chile when they die, says Harper's
Weekly. The national government
has Just directed that large number
Of the cities put in complete water
and sewerage systems. Tkis means
a greatly increased demand for all
plumbers supplies. Heretofore the
demand for this class OF goods has
been limited to Valparaiso and Santi-
ago, while from now on it will be
much more general, and the demand
should soon be doubled.
so far the United States has been
supplying only a comparatively small
part Of this business, and while Am
erican-made goods are we'll received,
the trade has not been properly ex'
plotted. The United States supplied
in 1906 only about per cent OF the
lead pipe imported. which in all
amounted to s24,577. Q. s. currency;
while OF the bath supplies We furn-
ished about 81 per cent. of the S21, $50
worth. The other accessories Of the
plumbing business largely came from
Europe, England taking the lead In
such articles as brass tubing, valves,
faucets, etc.

THE IRON INDUSTRY.
Few Transactions of Any Signifi-
canoe the Past Week.

NEW YORK. December 81. The Iron
Age says: There have been exceedingly
few transactions of any significance in
the whole range of the steel industry dur
ing the past week. ard there have been
no happenings from which Indications of
the trend of the markets might be in
ferred. The uncertainties of tariff re-
vision are becoming more potent factor
and are expected to keep the markets
rather quiet until the outcome can be
measured. Ii is not believed that the sit
uation will be clear before early summer.
In the meantime, conservative buying by
consumers will prevail, since they seem
to be generally convinced that revision
means Il downward readjuStment of prices
In the meantime the ground swell of
steadily improving general conditions
and growing courage are expected TO lift
the conSumptiVe requirements of the
country to n steadily higher level.
The pig-iron markets have been quiet
Some of the cast-iron pipe shops that
have been lighting the upward tendency
steadily are in the market for an aggre-
gate of more than 10000 tons. There is
still an unsatislied demand for basic pig
in eastern Pennsylvania.
While a number of large systems are
figuring on their rail requirements fer
next year nothing definite has yet been
done. 1t is estimated that the total
amount of fabricated structural steel
made this year was about | oOO.0n1 tons
a somewhat firmer feeling is developing
in iron bars, owing to the advance in
scrap.
