THE ORIGIN OF COFFEE.
A Dervish Discovered Uses of the
Plant and Berry Centuries AGO.

A Dervish Discovered Uses of the
Plant and Berry Centuries Ago.
AS to the history of coffee, the
legend runs that it was first found
growing wild in Arabia, says a writ
er in Success. Hadji Omar, a der
wish, discovered it in 1885, 624 years
ago. He was dying of hunger in the
wilderness, when finding some small
round berries, he tried to eat them,
but they were bitter. He tried roast
ing them, and these he finally steep
ed in some water held in the hollow
of his hand, and found the decoction
as refreshing as If he had partaken
of solid food. He hurried back to
Mocha, from which he had been BAN
ished, and, inviting the wise men to
partake of his discovery, they were
SO well pleased with it that they made
him saint.
The story is told that coffee was
introduced into the West Indies in
1923 by Chirac, a French physician,
who gave Norwegian gentleman by.
the name of De Clieux, a captain Of
infantry, on his way to Martinique,
a single plant. The sea voyage was a.
stormy one, the vessel was driven
out of her course, and drinking wa
ter became so scarce that it was dis
tributed in rations. De Clieux with
an affection for his coffee plant, di-
vided his portion of water with 1t,
and succeeded in bringing it to Mar
Unique, although weak, and not in
hopeless condition. There he,
planted 1t in his garden, protected
1t with fence of thorns, and watch
ed 1t daily until eventually he had
pounds of coffee beans, which he
distributed among the inhabitants of
the island to be planted by them.
From Martinique coffee trees in turn
were sent to Santo Domingo, Guada-
loupe and other neighboring islands.
The coffee tree is an evergreen
shrub, growing in its natural state
to height of fourteen to eighteen
feet. 1t is usually kept trimmed,
however, for convenience in picking
the berries, which grow along the
branches close to the leaves and re-
semble in shape and color ordinary
cherries. The tree cannot be grown
above the frost line, neither can it
be grown in the tropics. The most
successful climate for production is
that found at an altitude of about
1000 feet. Anything much above
this is in danger of frost, which is
fatal to the tree, and when coffee is
grown much below this it requires
artificial shade, which materially in
creases the cost of production and
does not produce as marketable ber-

COLONEL POPE DIES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Pioneer Bicycle Manufacturer
Of This Country.

Boston, Aug. u.-Colonel Albert A.
pope, the pioneer bicycle manufac-
turer of the United States and one of
the first advocates of the existing good
roads system. died at his summer
home in Cohasset.
Colonel Pope was. in i'll health for
months, due to the breaking down of
his nervous system, which followed the
financial embarrassment of his bicycle
company, which had its headquarters
at Hartford, Conn.
Albert Augustus Pope was born in
Boston in 1843 and started his bust
ness career as clerk in shoe find
ings store at 81 per week.
He served in the civil war with
marked distinction. At the close of
the great struggle he was brevetted
lieutenant colonel of the Thirty fifth
Massachusetts infantry for gallant CON
duct.
In 1879 the first imported bicycles
began to make their appearance in
this country, and Colonel Pope decided
to start manufacturing wheels in the
United States.
The venture proved success from
the start. A craze for bicycling swept
over the country, and in the very first
few years of his business Colonel Pope
amassed a fortune. The sudden drop

rassment. He was also interested in
the automobile business.

A PREcocIoUS DOG.
The Wonderful Feats He Performed
For Joseph Jefferson.

The Wonderful Feats He Performed
For Joseph jefferson.
There is a story that is told of Jo-
seph Jefferson and the boys that had
to do with the training of dogs. 1t
appears that there was gentleman in
New iberia who owned very intelli-
gent animal, and he was most anxious
for Mr.. Jefferson to see an example of
his prowess. Accordingly he brought
him to the island one day and put him
through his various tricks, which were
remarkably clever.
When the performance was over Mr..
Jefferson expressed his appreciation
but added that he had an animal that
was even more remarkable. AS the
gentleman seemed to be in some doubt
as to the truth OF this statement the
dog, a detected, stupid looking beast,
was produced, and Mr. Jefferson or
dered him to go into his room and
bring him shoe.
0bediently the dog trotted into the
house to presently reappear with the
shoe in his mouth. Taking it from
him, Mr.. Jefferson patted him upon
the head and told him to return to bis
room and bring him the slipper for his
left foot.
"And, mind you, bring the left one"
be cautioned as the animal trotted
away.
When he returned in a moment with
the left slipper the gentleman could
hardly express ais establishment. but
Mr.. Jefferson waved the matter indif-
ferently aside.
|.It is nothing" said he. However,
we win now try something a little
more difficult" Then, turning to the
dog, he spoke to him very slowly and
carefully. Nov go into the library"
said he, ''look upon the bottom shelf on
the right hand side of the room and
you will see set of Dickens. Bring
me the second volume. Remember.
now, the second volume; not the first
or the third, but the second
When the dog returned IL 2 few
moments with the second volume in
his mouth the gentleman retired in the
utmost confusion, declaring that in
comparison with such a prodigy his
own much Wanted animal was little
better than an imbecile.
And may add that Mr.. Jefferson
enjoyed the joke fully as much as did
the boys. who, according to a prear-
ranged plan. had placed each success
sive article in the prodigy's mouth. AS
to the prodigy, his one accomplishment
consisted of trotting into the house
and trotting out Of it again.-Nevn G..

FAIR COMMENTS.

Some days age The Advertiser, in commenting on the lynching at Cairo H., spoke of the fairness display by The New Haven Register, as one among its Northern contemporaries able to look on the subject without sectionaiism. As further evidence of this spirit we take the following from a recent editorial in that news paper:
 Any newspaper, in New England or elsewhere, that looks with it's eyes open must see and admit certain facts about lynching in the South. As a pSreiiminary FSst ,hn .,.r t must be understood part of the Union. has to deal with one particular crime namely. that by the most animal class of negroes against white women, which Is pecul- anywhere. That crime does not justi- i fy lynching: 1t explains 1t. But this makes the more surprising. the more praiseworthy, the fact that the mum ed, for the five years past. in all parts of the south. The negro charg- ed with such a crime gets short shrift, as we view capital trials In the
 
 too swift for justice. But he gets a trial. and that makes all the differ ence in the world--the difference be- tween law and anarchy. This change the South itself has made. not be- cause of the scoufgfng of the North, which was often unduly severe. but out of It's own consciousness and for It's own sake. This fact the North Is glad to mention it. There is no section of the land whose people are fairer than they of the South, and the ] sooner we people of the North fully realize that. the better 1t will be for all of us
 We fully agree with The Register that any newspaper, no matter where published should be able to look on this question without prejudice. but many of them seem unable to do so. The truth of 1t is-and some of the Northern critics fall to understand 1t that they know little of conditions as they exist in this section, and for that reason are not competent to | judge. The Register understands this and appreciates its force. We strong ly suspect that 1t will also admit that under precisely similar conditions the people of the North would do just as those of the South sometimes do. and administer justice without waiting for the law.
 All this Is not a defense of mobs l and lynehinRs. but an explanation of
