as the greatest of coffee drinkers, and
many of them think they are drinking

and Java" However, all the Mocha
and Java that comes to the United
States in a year would not supply St.

nine-tenths of the coffee used in this
country comes from Brazil. Because
the Brazilian bean is of such excellent
flavor and quality, the proportionate
imports of 1t are increasing steadily.

the statement that Sac Paulo, the rich

impression has gone abroad that little
else but coffee is produced in the
state. 1t is true that Sac Paulo alone,
last year, produced 1,716,000, 900
pounds of coffee that had a value of
$140,0O0,0O0, and that this vast aggre-
gate found it's way outward through

Santos; but 1t is also true that Sac
Paulo has a host of other industries

TOLD BY THE OLD PIONEER
Happy Thought That Saved Life When
All Hope Seemed to BE
Gone.

There is a certain old man living in
the upper part of Kensington who, in
his earlier days, was a pioneer in the
west. Blessed with a splendid imagin-.
alton, he has brought down through
the years a series of blood curdling
tales, in which Indians scalps and
hand to hand fights with grizzlies are
features frequently met with. There
is no limit to the deeds he accom-
plished, once his tongue is properly
set in motion.
A few days ago he was telling
story to a crowd of friends, and his
imagination ran on and on with him
until he found himself pursued by a
band of Indians across a level plain.
Suddenly" he said, glowing with
the excitement of it all, Il came to the
edge OF precipice, 1000 feet down."
and he paused to let the significance
of this sink in. Yes, sir, 1000 feet
down, and at the bottom a river dash
ing over sharp rocks, those yelling In
dians at my heels and me without a
gun or weapon of any kind except a
jackknife."
What did you do, Bill?" one of his
friends asked.
why, just then had a happy
thought. / reached in my pocket and
brought out bottle Of whisky that l
happened to have there, and waved
to the chief to come on. And when
they got up to me l asked EN- If they
wouldn't have drink. And they were
so surprised that they did, and we
were good friends after that"
Bill licked his lips and looked sug-
gestively about him, and the question
err took the hint.-Philadelphi Times.

Following the Higher Plan.

He knoweth the way that l take;
when he hath tried me, l shall come
forth as gold. job 23.10.
God has a definite life-plan set for
every man: one that, being accepted
and followed, will conduct him to the
best and noblest end possible. And so,
as you pass on, stage by stage, in
your course of experience, it is made
clear to you that whatever you have
laid upon you to do or suffer, what
ever to want, whatever to surrender
or conquer is best for you. Your life
is school, exactly adapted to your
lesson, and that to the best. last end
OF your existence, No room for a dis
couraged or depressed feeling, there
fore, is left you. Enough that you ex-
list for purpose high enough to give
meaning to life, and to support a gen
uine inspiration. If your sphere is out
wardly humble, God understands 1t
better than you do, and it is part
of his wisdom to bring our great SEN
timents in humble conditions, great
characters under great adversities and
heavy loads of incumbrance.

KAISER ALWAYS A BUSY MAN
Few Of His Millions of Subjects Work
Harder Than Does the German
Emperor.

= Berlin paper in connection with
the announcement that the kaiser Is
prevented from writing by a boil on
the wrist describes his usual method
of work
Like all Hohenzollerns, he is an
early riser and is usually out of bed
at six. At his first breakfast, an hour
after, he looks over some of the morn
ing papers and the dispatches of the
official German news agency. Then he
sits down at his writing table and
goes through reports from the various
ministries and the press cuttings spe-
cially put together for him in the for
eign office.
His remarks and decisions are writ
ten with a thick blue pencil on the
margin of the different documents.
At $3.50 o'clock the ministers and other
heads of departments are introduced
by the adjutant In attendance to make
verbal reports, particular days in the
week being set apart for each official.
These verbal statements are delivered
in style something like that of u
cablegram, with all unnecessary words
left out At this stage the kaiser has
to sign his name many times, a pro-
ceeding which he heartily dislikes.
After lunch, at which there are usu-
ally a number of guests and which
rarely lasts more than half an hour.
the kaiser sometimes takes a ride in
the Thiergarten. When he announces
that he is going to spend an hour
alone in his workroom with a book
every one understands that he is
about to take nap.
At any hour of the day he is likely
to be called on to form some more or
less urgent decision or to write tele-
gram of coincidence, sympathy or the
like. Save on the occasion of the op-
Grafton on his throat some years ago
the kaiser has never been disabled
from work by serious illness. On the
present occasion he has not handed
over the reigns of government to the
crown prince, but only the commits
sion to sign certain state documents.

truly remarkable array of industries.
These factories alone represent an in
vestment of over 100000 and are
employing $4,000 workmen.
1t is true that coffee is the staple.
but these factories are turning out
cotton and wooden fabrics; they are
making rope, twines and papers.
There are breweries, marble quarries,
metal industries of various natures;
vast estates that are devoted to the
culture of rice, and square miles of
territory that produce enormous guam
titles of fruits that are shipped in
all directions. Sac Paulo has gone ex-
tensively into grape culture, and is
turning out wines that are becoming
vastly popular in several countries.
Agriculture of a general nature has
engaged the attention of the residents
of the state to a greater degree in the
last few years, and as a consequence
the railways are extending in every d.
rection throughout the state. AS an
indication of the volume of business
transacted through the port of San
tos it last year reached a grand total
of five and half million tons. which
compares very favorably with the
trade of Rio de Janeiro or Buenos
Ayres, the two largest South American
ports.
In great measure this progress is due
to the far-sighted and patriotic efforts
of those statesmen who have directed
the destinies Of the state, and 1t has
been recently stated by South Amer
lean historian that the history of the
State of Sac Paulo was the history of
all Brazil.
