COFFEE BERRIES.
Round Kernels Are Stronger and Rich
er Than Flat Ones.

Round Kernels Are Stronger and Rich
er Than Flat Ones.
Everybody is more or less familiar
with the term male berry applied to
coffee. The term refers to the form
and style, not the sex.
An examination of nny ki%4 Of coffee
will show that about one ke, nel In ev-
cry twenty-five Is quite round. like a
bean, while all the others are fat on
one side, like the haf Of split bean.
These round or male berries are always
found on the young. vigorous. new
wood Of the previous years growth at
the end of the branches.
The old wood produces fat berries
only. Each pod" or fruit of the coffee
tree contains either two common fat
berries or but one round one. The
substance of the fruit in the one case
all goes into the single male berry, and
In the other 1t Is divided among two
fat ones.
This undoubtedly accounts for the
greater strength and richness Of the
male berry. In private plantations,
where the trees are carefully pruned
and cared for and the ground well cul-
tivated and fertilized. the coffee Is al
ways of finer quality and the proper
ton of male berries Is larger.
The round berries may be seen In all
kinds Of coffee. Rio, Ceylon. Maracaibo,
Mocha and other varieties contain
them as we'll as the Java.-Exchange

SPANISH VENGEANCE.
Fate of a Faithless SoIon In the Reigr

rz+e Of a Faithless SoIon In the Reign
of Emperor Charles.
II was in the early days of the reign
Of the Emperor Charles. when the
Spanish people, ever jealous of their
rights, became infuriated at q submis-
s,ve cortes for voting imperial grants
without obtaining redress for popular
grievances. Tordesillas, the represent
ative of Segovia. being a bold and
bouchtv man. returned to his native
CITY to defend his conduct and, ac-
cording to custom. summoned his fel-
low townsmen to the church that be
mioht rive an account Of his actions
in the cortes.
But the multitude, infuriated at his
insolence in attempting to justify con-
duct they deemed inexcusaDle, burst
omen the doors of the church and. seiz-
ing Tordesillas. dragged him through
the streets with curses and insults to-
ward the place of pu.ilc execution.
The dean aad canons came forth
with the holy sacrament to awe the
mob; the monks in the monasterles,
bv which the luckless deputy was
dragged. prayed on their knees that
his life might be spared or. at least
that he be allowed time for absolu-
ton: but, without regard for humanity

High Treason in Berlin

From the Westminster Review.
 The question of population Is being discussed in Germany almost as keen ly as fin France, for the latest statis- ties from Berlin show that the birth rate of the capital is steadily falling. The number of children born for every ltGD women of an age to have chill dren is now only T, SIS compared with 2C0 70 years ago, and if il were not for immigration, the population of Berlin would decrease at an alarming rate, for there are 20 per cent less children born there than is necessary to maintain the population.
 At the same time, 1t is not desirable that the country population should be attracted to Berlin or other large cities, where the number of recruits who arc rejected for military service is very large. The standad of fitness in the German but in the big cities it falls to 2S or 30 per cent. That is to say. that less than one man in three in Berlin reaches the physical standard considered necessary for service in the army. In towns of half million the percentage is 40 per cent. and in towns of 5000 to 100000 the figure Is nearly 50 per cent. In the country dis- tricts it is @ per cent and over.
 In view of these figures. 1t can well be understood why German social re- formers are questioning the value of the big tenement dwellings, and are turn ing to the ideal of the garden suburb.

Shortest Electric Road

From a Washington disptach to the New
 York Tribune.
 The shortest and most exclusive electric railway in the world is being installed in the tunnel between the capitol and the Senate office building, and will be ready for the use of the senators who dislike getting their feet wet when they return to their duties next December. It is d monorsil system. TOO feet long. The roll ing stock consists of one car, designed to carry F senators or 3G pages.
 It was the original intention of the rules committee of tine Senate to equip the tun- nel with fine little railroad. which would run from somewhere near the capitol dome through the subway and all around the basement of the Senate office building. Democratic economists of the house, however. induced the Senate to build only about TOO feet of this railway. in the middle of the subway. where elec- tric automobiles have been running until now.
 The little car will run on single rail below. but will be balanced by a broad rail in the roof of the tunnel from which the power will be gathered by means of a hinge arm

Farmers Debt to the Auto

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
 The farmer may not venerate that while the automobile teaches others extrava- gance 1t has taught him very valuable lesson in economy.
 Every one knows how plant lice, or aphis, oYerrun and destroy plants, and how the sole protection against plant lice has heretofore been patent powders more or less costly.
 But of late years farmers have noticed that, while all the plants in field or gar den were covered with aphs. all the road side growths, white with dust from flying automobiles, had not a single aphis on them
 Hence an experiment. Turnips, peas and cabbages were coated with ordinary dust instead of costly powder. Result, disappearance of all insect parasites
 The automobile. in a word. has taught the farmer that dust. which costs nothing, will protect his plants from plant lice and other pests just completely as the most expensive patent powder can.
