high, having a long and slender trunk without limbs on the lower part. The plant has numerous thin roots grow ing deep into the earth, and one cen tral or tap root going straight down and almost as long as the tree is high. When cultivated. however, the plant is generally not allowed to grow beyond 6 feet in poor and feet in rich soil, in order to facilitate its cultivation and the gathering of the crop.
 Healthy coffee trees produce in the axilla of each leaf from 12 to 16 buds, which in towering have an exquisite perfume. These flowers become dark and wither and fall off in two or three days, leaving groups of seeds on the small stems. These in turn grow into the coffee berries which closely re- semble dark red cherries. Each berry contains two seeds, growing face to face, and these are the coffee beans of commerce.
 The plant f1ourishes best in we'll watered regions in & sub- tropical climate at an elevation of 1,5o0 to 5000 feet, and in a rich soil. All these ele- ments are found to perfection in Bra gil, especially in the four states of Sac Paulo, Rio de Janeiro Espirito Santo, and Minas Geraes whose combined areas cover about one eighth of the vast domain of the Republic. This section produces about four-ffths of the worlds supply of coffee
 
 The practice of coffee drinking en- countered for a long time the opposi- tion of sovereigns and strait laced so- ciety, partly on political, partly on re- ligious grounds, but in spite of that it made it's way slowly across the Old World from Arabia, through Asia Minor. northern Africa and Turkey The first coffee house was opened in London in 1852, and about the same time Paris took up the habit. The first coffee grown in Europe was the result of experiments by French and Dutch botanists.. The. Dutch intro duced it Unto Java, while the French brought it into the West Indies. A Portuguese, Joao Alberto CaStelIo Braneo, is said to have planted the first coffee tree in Rio de Janeiro in 1760. and from this small beginning has developed the greatest industry of the country, for Brazil, thanks to climate. soil, and similar factors, has become the greatest coffee producer of the world.

 Just then the car stopped and two muscular policewomen summoned by the conductor came in the car with the intention of taking the recalcitrant one away.
 Rescue, Rescue" shouted the old man. and fired by the enthusiasm of Georges valiant speech the men in a body surprised themselves by routing the policewomen and rescuing George .
 Leaving the car and shouting, ITO arms, to arms, the revolution is on." the twenty or more men rushed down the street.
 Like a spark in a powder train the news of the riot preceded them. and every block brought new and fresh ac- sessions to their numbers.
 The story of how the men, after much bloodshed in which wife fought against husband and daughter against father, succeeded at last in seizing the reins of government, was marked by incidents of heroism. When the treaty of peace was concluded the males of the race had enacted 1egislatior which stated that inasmuch as the females outnumbered the men four to one from now on each woman would be entitled to cast one-fifth of a vote, thus leay- ing the balance of power to the men.
 So. although the prophecies of the anti-suffragists and anti-femininists of the early part of the twentieth century had been realized in the domination of affairs by the women, yet the coarse, unrefined, animal nature in common man, goaded beyond endurance. had emancipated the males by starting the revolution in George.

COFFEE CONSUMED IN 1913.
Would Fill Seven-inoh Cylinder Higher
 Than the Moon.

During the year 1918 the United States imported s52 ,52a, 49S pounds of coffee. having an entry value of near ly $105, ,o0o, ,0e0. To the average reader this may not appear very startling, but g. little calculation will bring to mind the significance of these figures. One pound of finely ground coffee will make no less than three gaGcns of a reasonably strong beverage. Our 1913 imports therefore made at least 2,5'57,- 500, 900 gallons. A standard gallon contains t231 inches, or, putting it a little differently, would fill a cylindri- cal coffee pot inches in diameter and 6 inches high. The coffee imported in 1913 would therefore fill a cylinder ' inches in diameter and PAP, 188 miles high. Could such cylinder be erect ed it would be necessary to take care not to build it in the direction of the moons orbit around the earth, for that satellites average distance from our planet being but 23S, $50 miles, it might knock off from the top of our extend cd coffee pot some 2,335 miles, Were the cylinder flexible and the base well anchored however, 1t might topple over and wrap itself nearly ten times around the earth at the equator. All of which is mentioned merely to show that we drink some coffee in this country.
 Over two-thirds of the coffee con- stunned in the United States comes from Brazil. Our imports from that country in 1913 amounted to some thing over 625.0o0, 900 pounds, having a value at the ports of entry of s73,- $50, 430. It is no doubt owing to this fact that the Pan American Union. Washington. n C. publishes in it's latest descriptive pamphlet on Brazil an interesting sketch of coffee and it's cultivation. In this account it is stated that coffee derives it's name from the city of Kaffa in Abyss1nia, in which country it is believed that the coffee tree originated. It's botanical name is Coffea AEabica, because it was first cultivated in Arabia and exploited in its present day use. A natural coffee plant grows into a tree IA to IS feet
