COFFEE.

Two-thirds or more of the coffee consumed in the
United States from Brazil Our imports from that
country 1913 amounted to something 625000000
pounds having value at the ports Of entry of $50 3O
The Pan-Ame1ican Union, Washington, D. O.. publishes
in its latest descriptive pamphlet Brazil interesting
sketch of coffee and it's cultivation In this account it
stated that coffee derives it's name from the city of Ka
Abyssna in which country it is believed that the cof
fee tree originated Its botanical is Cofea Arabica
because first cultivated in Arabia and exploited in
its present day natural coffee plant grows into
tree Ia to Is feet high having long and slender trunk
without limbs the lower part The plant has
thin roots growing deep into the EARTH and central
tap root going straight down and almost long the
lis high When cultivated however the plant is generally
not allowed to grow beyond six feet in poor and eight feet
in rich SOIL in order to facilitate it's cultivation and the
gathering Of the crop.
Healthy coffee trees produce in the axla of each leaf
from II Is buds which in Towering have exquisite
perfume. These flowers become dark and wther and fall
off in two or three days leaving groups of seeds the
small stems These in turn grow into the coffee berries
which closely resemble dark red cherries Each berry
contains two Seeds growing face to face and these the
coffee beans of commerce.
The plant flourshes best in well-watered regions in
subtropcal climate at elevation of 1900 to 5000 feet
and in rich SOIL All these elements found to perfec-
ton in Brazil especially in the four states of Sac Pauo
Rio de Janero Esprito Santo and Mnas Geraes whose
combined about oneeghth of the vast domain
OF the republic This region produces about fourfhs Of
the worlds supply of coffee.
The practice of coffee drinking encountered for long
time the opposition of soveregns and staightaced
cety partly political partly religious grounds but
in spite of that it made its way slowly the old world
from Arabia through Asia Minor, northern Africa and
Turkey The first coffee house opened in London in
1862 and about the time Paris took up the habit
The first coffee grown in Europe the result of expert
by French Dutch botansts The Dutch intro
duced into Java while the French took it into the West
Indies Portuguese, Joao Alberto CASTILLO Branco is
said to have planted the first coffee tree in Rio de anero
in $780, and from this small beginning has developed the
greatest industry of the countryfor Brazil thanks to
climate, soil and similar factors has become the greatest
IcOffee producer of the world.

The Woman and the Compass.
(Everybody's Magaxine.)

Mrs. Brundage was crossing the

an these days when everyone is
talking about what women can or
cannot do in political life, it is
interesting to hear some of the real the
small, victories women had during the
Revolutionary war.
When the war had been fought long
enough to cause supplies of all kinds
to run low for both our men and the
British. Captain Robert Hanna of the
British army found that he sadly
needed another horse.
Remembering the fame of Mistress
Betty Frazicr's horses and mindful of
the fact that his camp was not many
miles from her attractive home, he de-
cided to supply his need from her
stable.
Mounting his one horse. and taking
an extra bride with him, he rode to
her door.
Mistress Betty, whom he had met Boz
fore, was in her garden and seeing her
guest, went towards the horse block to
greet him.
Good morning, Captain" she said
smilinsiy (though her heart misgave
her as she thought of her much loved
horses). ITO what kind errand do l

Letters From the People
To Berry Consumers.

Sunday Capital News: The same
law of supply and demand governs the
berry market this year that did in years
past when you consumers grudgingly
paid us growers so cents per crate di-
rect from the wagons; and at that price
growers had berries perish on their
hands.
This year we simply did not have the
berries. From the acre that should
have yielded 900 crates. barely 400 were
picked; and as for the expenses. paid
exactly the same for having my berries
picked as heretofore. AS for the boxes.
they contain one pint, where the old
ones contained one and one-third pints,
or one pound. But you can hardly
blame Mr.. Wallis. who, ! suppose, sim
ply enforces existing laws, but rather
the pinhead legislation that insists on
your buying your berries by the pint
| instead of by the pound.
| Now as other berries come on the
market. remember, Mr.. Consumer, that
we have barely half crop left US by
| the late frost. They will got to the
| highest bidder. When we have full
crop, we sell our berries cheaper. and
| when our crop Is short we get a better
| price, as in any other lines Of business.
| The land that produces most of these
| berries costs the owner from $500 to
$1,000 per acre. He has the value Of a
40-acre farm invested in his little five
acress and the limit OF one mans in
dividual effort Is about one acre OF
Strawberries. If he has more than that
he must hire help to cultivate 1t. So
when all are in, taxes and interest
paid, the grower faces the winter with
as much uncertainty as the other wage
earners. Respectfully.

While the crisis was on Speaker

Mcintosh to the platforms to confront
him with certain statements. DR..
Mcintosh says his assailant, after

ANOTHER USE FOR
THE BIG STICK.

While some prefer to believe that
conditions in Mexico ARE about to
tecomc tranquil, another source OF
annoyance is perplexing, Washington
officials. Haiti is the new storm CEN
tire, and it looks as though the
United States will experience consid-
cradle difficulty in bringing about
pacific conditions in that island.
AS is generally the case, Haiti has
angered European nations, and they
arc pressing this country to act the
part of policemen.
!. San Domingo's position on the map
renders it necessary for the United
States to watch it's internal affairs,
and many years ago this country
entered into negotiations for the &C
QUESTION of the island The late
Charles Sumner was one of the Com
missioners sent to Haiti on that oc-
casion. The time, however, was rot
ripe and the negotiations failed.
Daily advices received at the State
and War Departments in Washing
ton indicate that matters are stead
ily growing worse in Haiti. There
is no longer any doubt but that the
situation is rapidly drifting toward a
state of affairs which will require
American intervention. ;.
Preparations for a possible occcpa-
ton of the principal potts OF Halt
and also Santo Domingo are going
forward at the Navy and State De,
partments.

BAD BLOOD OF
POLITICS.

The histories of AL countries
abound in thrilling scenes which
have from time to time disgraccd the
proceedings of legislative booles.
During the Thirty Years War, which
devastated large portion of Europe
and caused the deaths of thousands
of people, at a conference designed to
hiring about a better UNDERSTANDING
amonr the belligerents, some OF the
delceatcs were thrown headlong
from an upper story window OF the
assembly hall. The unfortunates
were dashed to pieces on the stones
, of the street.
Scenes at times in the German
Reichstag verge on personal serious
clashes.
Dramas which at times vcrgcd
upon tragedies, have been enacted
in the Congress of the United States.
In bygone days, when such men as
Benton, Foote, Preston Brookes'
'Bowic Knife" Potter and others
| figured. bloodshed was at times mar
! rowly avertcd by the interposltlon OF
more conservative spirits.
The assault on Senator Sumner by
Preston BrookcS in antc-war times
was probably the most unfortunate
occurrence of the days preceding the
Civil War.
The attack made by Senator Bailey
upon Senator Beveridge was COM
paratively recent. The Texan found
