Mate Tea.

Although most of the worlds cof-
fee is grown in South America,
there are some South American
states where it is hardly drunk at
all. In no country is coffee 30
dear as in Argentina, for the sim
pie reason that only foreigners ask
for it. The natives of Argentina
drink mate or Paraguay tea, as it
is sometimes called. Among the
working classes this is drunk as
freely and frequently as beer in
England. And after dinner, in
stead of coffee, many Argentine
housekeepers serve a basin of soup,
which guests from abroad find some
difficulty in swallowing. Attempts
have been made to popularize mate
in Europe. but these have never
proved successful.-!London Chron-
'icle.

Beethoven used the shutters for a
toothpick. 1t was one of his peculiar
tiles that he never allowed his servant
to enter bis study. He insisted that
this room should remain, exactly as he
left 1t. no matter how deeply the dust
lay on the precious musical manu-
scripts. He seldom looked in the glass
when he tied his stock. Half the time
he forgot to brush his hair. Every
morning he carefully counted out sey-
enteen beans from the coffee canister.
These served for his breakfast When
he composed he would pour cold wa
ter over his hands. and often people
below him would complain of the wa
ter that soaked through his floor.

Newton's Apple Tree.

It Is impossible to say at this late
day how true or how false is the old
story about Newton's apple tree at
Woolsthorpe, from which he IL sup
posed to have seen the fall OF the apple
which gave him his first thought OF
the attraction Of gravity. Voltaire is
the authority for the well known story.
He claims that the story was told to
him by Catherine Barton, Newton's
niece. How much truth there may be
in the tale will never be known, but 1t
seems to be certain that tradition mark
ed tree as that from which the ia
nous apple fell till 1920. when, owing
to decay. the tree was cut down.-New

"Dyke' has even more divergent

districts where it is pond. Originally,
in English at any rate. dyke or

The FLOWING of Metals.

It is perhaps not generally known
that one of the most important
properties of metals employed in
striking coins and medals and
stamping articles of jewelry is that
of flowing under pressure. Standard
silver is remarkable for this prop
erty. The flow takes place when
the metal is subjected to rolling,
stamping or hammering, and the
particles of metal are thus carried
into the sunken parts Of the die
without fracturing, and q perfect
impression is prodnced.

One Of the reasons why English Is

is that English people refuse to learn

supposed to be the only, or almost the
only, British resident on the 1900 miles

NUISANCE OF
DUST AGAIN
Upon CITY
DRY WEATHER BROUGHT IT
Earlier in the Season Than
Ordinarily

once again the people of Americas
are suffering from the nuisance OF
dust. Many residents of the city are
hoping for some relief, from the opin-
ions they have expressed recently, but
at the same time they saw little hope
except from rains
1t was pointed out yesterday that
the city is being plagued with dust 4
little earlier in the season than ordi-
narily. 1t is just the beginning of
summer, but the dust here the last
few days has been exceptionally heavy
and Objectionable. 1t is not unusual
for the city to have dust later in the
summer, but the recent dry spell has
accentuated the need of some relief.
I'm a city the size of Americas,
which has already paved a number OF
its streets, it seems that some remedy
could be devised for the relief of the
long-suffering population who must
be plagued with dust every time a dry
spell comes, said well known citi-
zen yesterday. 1T is an old story to
speak of the discomfort occasioned
here by the clouds of dust that are
stirred up right in the heart of the
residence section every time an auto
mobile passes when the surface of the
roadway is as dry as it is now, but il
is nuisance that should be remedied
Whether by sprinkling, which is only
temporary, but gives some relief, or
otherwise, cannot the people of Amer
icus find some relief from dust?"
