Washington.-Fully four and a half
out of every five pounds of coffee
drunk in the United States comes from
Brazil, and the proportion is growing
steadily higher, principally because
n Brazilian bean is of a superior
quality and favor. The generality
OF coffee drinkers have a hazy idea
that Mocha" and Java enter largely
into the morning beverage, but it is a
TACT that all the Mocha and Java that
reach this country In a year would not
supply st. Louis for six months.
II Is generally known and under
stood that the greater proportion of
hne Brazilian coffee comes from the
state OF Sac Paulo in that country. and
the statement that Sac Paulo. the
richest state in the Brazilian Union.

made so frequently that the general
impression has gon abroad that little

Sac Paulo has a host of other indus

His Real CatIiuo.

There is a writer In New York who
has achieved little success, but who.
being amply supplied with worldly
goods. refuses to be discouraged. So
be keeps turning out books the merits
OF which he earnestly attests by word
OF mouth and heavy purchases from
the publishers. He Is a long time
friend Of Simeon Ford, boniface, wit
and philosopher. That Mr.. Ford Ia
the only n who ever read all of his
friends books probably furnishes q
reason why the attentuated hotel man
is n Of the most solemn looking OF
humans.
They were at dinner recently when
the author said: Sim. you've been
awfully kind to me-you are my real
audience. for you've suffered like a
friend and read all l have written.
Sometimes l think that I have made a
great mistake and / am not really an
author after all"
Il think you're right" assented Mr..
Ford. You're a born chemist"
"How's that?" suspiciously asked
the author.
Well" remarked Simeon. every
book you write becomes a drug on the
market"

But he wasn't easy despite his finan-

rated an incident showing the mans
shrewdness. A magazine noted for
slow pay they say, contracted with
him for a ~three-part story, for which
he was to receive fifteen hundred dol

vance before starting to work, and
when he turned in the second Install

and asked for the third five hundred
dollars as an advance before finishing
the tale. The editor, in an effort to
save money. apparently, declared that,
after all, the story didn't appear to be
worth nor than one thousand dol
lars-this when he had the two in
stallments in his Office. All right

exploding excitement. But l was al.
ready upon my knees, feeling blindly
into the ice cavity.
They came bowling about me like
so many wolves, eager to see with
their own eyes, but l crowded them
back, snatching the candle from De
Nova's fingers and throwing the flick
ering light down level with the deck.
It's a brass-bound chest, men," l
cried, Strengthening up and facing
them. "But 1t is going to require
some hard digging to get 1t out. About
all l can see is the handle Of it,
/ never comprehended before how
the passion and lust for gold can ex-
press itself upon mems faces. Tense,
m%otionless, breathing heavily, their
features drawn, their eyes. cleaning
feverishly in the yellow flame, they
stared at me and then at that ice-front,
demented and speechless. No one
thought Of where we were-castaways,
eur lives the sport of winds and waves,
a sodden wreck under us, our nearest
port a thousand miles away across a
stormy sea; all we realized at that
moment was that there, just before US,
under that mantle of ice. lay buried
three million pesos. God! the collar
of my jacket seemed choking me-; I
breathed as II q mans fingers clutched
my throat, and I saw McKnight's
burly form shaking as IL he had an
ague fit. Three million pesos! The
hot blood rushed TO my head. a lava
stream, and De Nova's face, white as
chalk behind his little black mus
taches. seemed dancing before me
ghostlike. Damn him! the fellow
made me think OF Salvatore, the man
who, just above, frozen and dead, had
guarded this treasure for 1875 years.
I cast the suggestion aside with a
curse and a laugh, grasping Kelly by
the shoulder to steady myself--to re-

here at once" I put in hastily. Hold
on, Johnson, until we get this ship

all we need. Any more would only

They went along with me up the
ladder as though they were prisoners,
casting the last lingering glances be-
low, where the weird flame of the
candle fiickered yellow, the blows Of
the cleaver echoing sharply as they
clustered about the stove, welcoming
the warmth of it. 1t had been frigid
below decks, although we had been
scarcely conscious of 1t in our excite
ment. But now we stood shivering,
gazing into each others faces and
actually afraid to talk lest the whole
occurrence should prove a dream from
which a chance word might awaken
us. Three million pesos-here, actu-
ally here; almost within reach Of our
hands; they were digging for them
Just below; wen then, in the silence,
we could hear the faint echo of blows
being struck against the ice. Three
million pesos!-and 1t was all ours,
our very own--to divide, to spend, to
do with exactly as we pleased. We
had dreamed about all this before, on
the decks of the Inflated Sea Queen,
but now we sought to grasp 1t as an
actua. existing fact. and our minds
seemed paralyzed by the knowledge.

an investment of over $40. 900, 900 and
are employing $4,000 workmen.
1t Is true that coffee is the staple,

tates that are devoted to the culture

that produce enormous quantities of
fruits that are shipped in all direc-
lions. Sac Paulo has gone extensively
into grape culture, and is turning out
wines that are becoming vastly popu-
lar 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 rail-
ways are extending in every direction
throughout the state. AS an indica-
ton Of the volume of business trans
acter through the port of Santos 1t
last year reached a grand total of FIVE
and a half million tons, which ON
pares very fayorably 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
it has been recently stated by a South
American historian that the history Of
the State of Sac Paulo was the history
OF all Brazil.

TINY BABYs PITIFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
"Then we decided to try Cuticura,
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm
der this where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old She is q fine
picture of a fat little baby and all Is
well. We only used ono cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-
