 Los Angeles, Cal.-Arthur Cole, who never took a cold bath nor endeavored to strengthen his muscles. was sen- fenced to increase his chest expansion more than four inches within 60 days or return to the city jail and serve 1s0- day sentence imposed by the police court
 When arraigned on a charge of va grancy, police Judge Richardson in- quired into the life habits of the man. When he learned of his failure to take any exercise. he said:
 You have lived like woman"
 Cole said he disliked to rough 1t tn any way.

As for the after effect of the po- litical activities of the very recent past here, notice little, except that we are going to do much more ice skating this winter and a little less dancing. unless some genius of that art comes along with certain novel steps that prove. irresistible. But the skating is to be done in many indoor rinks, a number of which are new and very elaborate
 The real lovers of skating for skat- ing's sake may continue to frequent the lakes in Central park and else where, but those who love it for the sake of exhibition and because it will bring them into contact with the Broadway merrymakers. are going to frequent the. big fancy rinks in the white light section. There you may sit comfortably in your chair and between occasional glances at the splendid skaters on the ice, you may gaze into eyes that gaze back love again-or something like that--I know the oc- currence first happened in Belgium s there will be glasses between the two pairs of eyes. but these glasses will rest not upon the probosces. but upon the table.
 And besides, argue the new skating g palace adherents, why go to a real lake and run the risk of getting soak ed by breaking through the ice. when you can stay right on Broadway. likewise on the ice and get soaked after a fashion that is more pleasant?

have to be sorted and bagged and ship ped to the ports.
 Let us follow the berries They first go to machines, where they are run through steel cylinders which squash the pulp without injuring the seeds At the end of the whole Is a much of pulp and coffee beans. This is dropped into other cylinders filled with holes of such a size that the beans will pass through them. As the cylinders revolve, the beans drop through the holes into a canal. Here they are washed and float off into tanks vats. They are now gummy and sticky, and they have to be rewashed At the end they are as white as snow.
 They are now taken out and spread upon cement floors and left in the sun. The Dumont fazenda has 4S acres of such floors and just now tens of thou sands of pounds of these white cof- fee beans are drying upon them. The beans are left out in the sun all day long, and are stirred about by wooden rakes so that every part of each bean receives it's share of the heat The men who do the raking are in their bare feet They walk about among the cof- fee. It Is so hot they perspire as they work. The Lord told Adam Tn the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread" Our first father had not yet learned to drink coffee. Nevertheless the curse has come down to us. It is important that the coffee be evenly dried. The grains sometimes lie for weeks on the platforms. They must be kept dry and must be covered when ever it rains. They are also gathered into piles at night and covered to keep off the dew.
 After time the beans arc as dry as a bone. They do not yet look at all like the coffee we have In the stores. They are as white as ivory, and almost as hard Each bean has now to be skinned As it lies in the cherry it has two little coats fitted tight to it. The outside coat is thick and the color of new drumhead. 1t Is known as the parchment skin. The inside coat is as thin as a cobweb. It is called the sil- yer skin. Both of these coats have to be taken off before the coffee Is of the olive green color that it has in our stores.

changed was my hair, which my friends indulgently call golden, but which really Is of brick dust hue. This red soil is made of decomposed lava mixed with decayed vegetable growth. It has a large percentage of salicylic acid and it contains also ovide of iron and man. ganese and phosphoric acid, potash and soda, lime and magnesia.
 The soil is in beds from three to fonr feet deep lying upon bed of gravel. The best plantations are on the sides of the hills. The country is rolling and parts of it have nothing but coffee rode for miles through vast gardens of green bushes shining out against this background of red Here the men were blowing. using sulky blows, drawn by oxen; there they were hoeing and fur ther on they were picking the coffee. passed by clearings where the woods had been cut down and new plants were being set out amid the stumps. They were put in little holes and were shaded with leaves and sticks from the fierce rays of the sun. In many places I could see the homes of the laborers. Each plantation has It's own settle ment or village. Many of these were of red adobe huts with roofs of red tiles. By and by we came to the station of RibeiraC Preto. from where I went out to see the estate. The Dumont com pany has it's own railway line extend ing from Ribeirao Preto to the planta- tion, and it has also. railroads running through the coffee fields covering all parts of the great farm. There are al- together over 50 miles of track.
 Suppose we take one of the cars and ride out over the fields. The engine carries us up hill and down through a great coffee garden. In front and be- hind us as far as we can see are long lines of green bushes. There are bushes to the right and to the left. All are coffee trees, and most of them are laden with coffee. Notice the plants in that field over there. They are new trees and have been set out only a year. They are not as high as your knee The smaller plants farther on covered with sticks have been in the ground only a month. The bearing trees are from 10 to 15 feet high.
 How green everything is! There is no green in nature more beautiful than that of the coffee trees The leaves seem to have been vanished, and the green shows out against the back ground of red soil. The plants are first grown in nurseries. After transplant- ing they must be carefully cultivated and hood for three years, and 1t is not until the fourth year that the first crop

fan off the rubish and dust They then go into corrogated wheels of cast iron so arranged that the skin on the beans Is broken as they pass through it, without hurting or scratching the beans. The next process is to take the skin off This Is done in a sec ond ventilator, in which the skins are blown off like the chaff in threshing machine There are other processes, but at the end the coffee flows out in boans of a light olive green. These beans are of different sizes and shapes. Some are almost round and others are flat or half ovel, like the Java col fee you find in the stores. I have all ready written of the little round beans from the ends of the stalks They are known as Mocha coffee. The flat beans are Java and other varieties.
 The next process is in the grading ma chimes, which sort them, and when they come out through the different pipes they are in grades each of its own size and of about tho same shape Each grade has it's own price and it's own name in the market. Some of it is sold as Mocha, some as Java, some as peaberry Rio, and others even as Porto Rico and Guate- mala The coffee is put into bags or sacks of 132 pounds each, and it is in this shape that it is carried on the cars to the steamers at Santos or Rio de Janeiro, from where it goes to all parts of the world.
 And this brings me to the price of cof- fee and how it falls and rises with the size of the crop. The question of price is as vital to Sac Paulo as the price of cotton is to our southern states. They have the same agitation here as to the regulation of the coffee crop that we have as to the regulation of the cotton crop. Coffee can still be grown at a profit at less than 9 cents a pound In times past the planters have burned immense stocks of coffee to cut down the amount that would otherwise be thrown on the market This state of Sac Pau'o has passed pro- hibtive taxes with regard to the laying out of fresh plantations, and 1t has tried to corner the coffee crop, borrowing at one time as much as s75,000,000 for that purpose This was the celebrated move- ment for the valorization of coffee. which raised the price in the United States by the millions of dollars. Some one has es- timated that it made us pay for while something like one two-thousandths of a At any rate, the government took hold of the matter and prevented the move- ment to a certain extent. At that time the valorization schemers had on hand something like S,600,000 bags of coffee.
