WHERE COFFEE COMES FROM.
Wonderful Estates That Occupy
Whole Province and Give En-
pIoyment to Thousands.

Few of the millions of coffee drink
ers in this country have anything but
a hazy idea as to the real source or
coffee. In 3 general. vague way the
words Mocha" and Java" are mixed
into the coffee information at hand,
principally because these are found
upon the battered tin canlsters IN the
nearest grocery store.
Actually not 10 per cent Of the coffee
consumed in this country ever saw
Arabia. where Mocha coffee comes
from. or Java. BY far the greater
number Of persons never tasted either.
The bulk of coffee comes from the
state of Sac Paulo, in Brazil, and the
imports from that source alone supply
nearly nine tenths of the 1900, 100000
pounds that we drink each year Soa
Paulo is little, but one vast coffee gar
den throughout it's 174,5SS square miles
of territory, and, while there are many
other industries, coffee growing is the
chief and the true source of the
wealth of the people
Nearly all the billion and a half
bounds of coffee grown in Brazil is
shipped from the seacoast city or
Santos. where are great docks at which
lie the vessels of the world. other
countries grow coffee, to be sure, but
not one in such vast quantities as does
Brazil So greatly has the Brazilian
coffee grown in favor that the plant is
now being taken abroad and cultivated.
Now the department Of agriculture is
beginning to pay attention to the man
ner in which substitutes for good Bra
lillian coffee are being foisted on the
american people under the false names
of Mocha and Java.

A Noiseless Room.

For many physical researches a per
fectly noiseless room is a desideratum.
If such could be devised it would open
out new possibilities of research. At
the University of Utrecht the problem
has been apparently successfully
solved by the room designed by
Zwaardemaker. The walls and cell
ing of the room are II inches thick,
and are formed of six separate layers.
The first consists of a feltlike mate
rial Of hOrsehair, known as tricho-
piese, this is followed by a layer of
porous stone isolated from the floor
by sheet lead. An air space of about
al inch is followed by wood, and
then a course of ground cork and
sand. The final layer is of specially
prepared ground cork known as
k0rkstein.

The Magic OF Odd Numbers.

even in the matter of weighing
groceries there seems a magic in odd
numbers" said a housekeeper. "Most
Of the packages of salt, sugar, coffee
and other commodities that grocers
keep on hand to facilitate trade con-
tain an odd number of pounds. If
you are in hurry and ask FOR made
dp package of almost any kind of gro
ceries tradesmen can accommodate
you with one-pound, three-pound or
a f1ve-pound package but the chances
are that if you want two pounds or
four pounds of anything it will have
to be weighed to order"

FOR THE USERS OF TOBACCO
Assertion That Plant Was Certainly
Placed Here for Good Purpose.

1t is passing strange that, with all
the experience at command, the ply
siologists are never in agreement as to
the effects Of the smoking habit. Even
where lay opinion has been fairly well
established by the apparently we'll di-
gested views of the scientists with re-
spect to certain phases of the whole
problem, they are wholly liable to up
setting by the latest opinion. For ex-
ample, two considerations have long
been thought to be determined-tha
moderate indulgence in tobacco need
not be denied, and that the lad not
out of his teens would better abjure
tobacco altogether. 1t may be assert
ed that man is not a smoker by ma
ture; and certain effects of tobacco
seem to indicate, without especial ar
gument, that the longer the acquire
ment of the habit is postponed the bet
TER for the human system. At the
same time the remote antiquity of the
tobacco plant suggests that it is one
of natures unassisted growths; and
if it were not designed for man to en-
joy in security, neither is it at ali
clear that it is to be classed with ma
lures prOductions.-Prov Jour

Some New Definitions.

Girls in a fashionable seminary not
a hundred miles from town, in eX-
animation papers, recently turned out
a new batch of delightful definitions.
[t is evident from their answers that
several of them, while they may not
be trained thinkers, have more or less
logical processes of thought. One de-
fined red tape as "the inability of
any one holding political position to
do anything necessary without special
ORDERS" showing she had read her
Little Dorrit" to advantage, to say
nothing of BLEAK House." Another
girl, asked why does a ship float the
right way up?" replied, Because if it
did not the people in it would tumble
out" One ingenious girl suggested,
"foxlet" as a noun for a young fox,
which certainly is more specific than
puppies. And young person, evil

be humbugged, said "B-Sc." meant

PREvEN1NEs OF SICKNESS.
Important Request.

The County Health Ofhcer takes
this opportunity to request the citi-
zens of Monroe county to screen all
homes against mosquitoes and flies
Tha. this should be done at once, and
if properly and thoroughly done, 1t
will prevent a great deal of sickness
later on, and will be a great saving to
all those who do this diligently, not
only financially, but from untold wor-
ry and anxiety from the immediate
results of the disease when it attacks
your loved ones
The Health Officer would most
earnestly request verybody to do
away with damp places around the
homes and barns, cellars, open wells.
broken bottles and jugs, damp horse
and COW stalls, and anything else that
holds water for few days following
a raiu. All these places act as breed
ing place for mosquitoes and flies. All
low ground. stables, wells, etc., that
cannot be drained, should be kept
oiled or lined, once to twice a week.
The outlay for this would be small
and the saving in sickness and death
would be great. All vegetables, slops,
and garbage of all kinds, should be
kept in well covered vessels and al
lowed to stand for ouly few hours
at most.
1t is impossible for the Health OFF,
Ger to visit every home and place in
this great county of Monroe and see
about these things, therefore the au-
thorities would appreciate it if any
and all nuisances were promptly re-
ported, and such measures as neces-
5ary would be taken to suppress the
same.
Do away with the common house |
fly. keep his filthy feet, which are al |
ways laden with some kind of ma
food of yourself and family. This will |
do away with 70 out of every 100 cases
of typhoid Typhoid i'll Monroe coun-
ty. For the next twelve months, de-
stroy the mosquitoes, the anopholes, |
and all malaria (chills and fever will |
disappear as if by magic, and the way
to get rid of these pests is to screen |
and cleanup decent.
Labor and costs will be very little,
to the money saved in
drugs aud doctors bills, not counting
the physical and mental worry, that
will be prevented.
Respectfully.

Items From Wren.

Special to the Aberdeen Weekly.
| That the good people of Monro'
County may learn what we are do
ing at Wren, / shall endeavor to le
them know.
School is doing well, though many
things have interfered. We had
measles first, then whoopingcougb
then smallpox, and still our average
reached 50 last month. This is
said to be a greater average than
the school has usually made at this
time of the year.
Failure in crops last year caused
most of the larger boys to stop early
to make ready for a better yield this
year. This reduced our average.
We arr proud Of our boys, upon
whom will fall the responsibility of
government and society. They
push their work on the farm with
the same zeal that prompts them in
the schoolroom.
Failure to mention Saturday,
April 9th, would be discourteous to
our people and our distinguished
friends, Prof. Woodard, of Aber-
deem. and Supt Boyd. of Koscius-
ko. The adjoining achools bad
been invited to participate with
Wren in Fields Day exercises. In
response, a large Gro wdgathered that
day. A string band made music
for the occasion. \ number of
friends from Aberdeen were present,
among whom were Prof. Woodland,
Chancery Clerk, Smith and Sheriff,
I. O. Jones.
The Welcome address was said
by little Miss Cora Lee Allison.
Prof. Woodland then introduced the
speaker. Supt. G. +. Boyd. Of Kos
ciusko.
With that simplicity which
reaches the masses, yet with force
that is powerful, Mr. Boyd spoke
of the power" that true education
brings. Power" that makes us
better citizens, better neighbors.
and better church mem bers Every
one pronounced the speech a splen-
did one.
Them come dinner There was
enough to feed twice rs many peo-
pie. Good dinners are proverbial
of the Wren ladies' No commun-
ity is more famous for making pub
lie days a success than the people
of wren
After dinner, there were contests
in singing, spelling. reciting, and
jumping the hurdles. A game of
basket ball was played by the girls
and game of base ball between
Tranquil boys and Wren boys.
Wren s, Tranquil 2, was the score.
Our school will close April, %.
We are expecting great things on
that occasion. Supt. ]. n. Powers
is invited to address the school and
people on that day. Ours closing
exercises will occur on Monday fol-
lowing. Let every one come and
hear Mr.. Powers great speech and
witness our schools last entertain
ment for this year Remember all
ladies and gentlemen are welcome
at Wren.
