A NATION OF coFFEE DRINKERS.

In the matter of the consumption OF
coffee, We, the people of the United
States also lead the world. More than
that the per capita consumption or
coffee in this country is increasing
all the time. 1t is now something over
10 pounds a year for every man, Wom-
an and child. And this makes the
adult consumption considerably lar
ger, as children, as rule and the
young ones especially, drink very lit
tie. In 1894, the per capita consump-
ton was S.3 pounds; in 1884 it was 13
pounds; in 1874, 6.6 pounds and in
1864, 3.76 pounds.
Germany stands next to the United
States among the nations in the list
of the worlds largest coffee consum-
ers, and the Netherlands, France, Bel
GUM and Austria Hungary follow in
the order named. Some interesting
government statistics concerning the
coffee imported into this country fol-
low:
Coffee imported into the United
States in the calendar year 1914 ex-
ceeded 1000. 100000 pounds, a record
made only twice before in the history
of our foreign trade-in 1904, when
the total was LIB. 100000 pounds,
and in 1909, LAO, 100000. The value
of last years coffee imports from for
.eign countries was s105, 100000, or
SIS, 100000 less than in 1912, when an
unusually high import price, in con-
junction with an increase in quantity
brought the total up to the highest
value ever recorded
Brazil is the chief of supply of the
coffee imported into the United States.
Out of 1,O11, 100000 pounds imported
from foroipp countries Ia wear. 1885,
100000 pounds were from Brazil, o.
100000 from Colombia, 6O,0OO,OOO
from Venezuela, 100000 from the
Central American States and British
Honduras, 100000 from Mexico,
and $1,000, 900 from other parts of the
world, chiefly South America, Java,
and other Dutch possessions in the
East Indies. Brazilian coffee has a
little more than held it's own in the
proportion of the total; Colombian
coffee has increased from less than
3 ,O0O,0 900 to nearly 00.000,o0O pounds
in the last 20 years.
An increasing share of the coffee |
in continental United States
is produced in it's insular territories /
of Hawaii and Porto Rico. Last year
9, 793,052 pounds of coffee arrived |
from Porto Rico, compared with 372,-
APT pounds in 1894. The superior
quality of the coffee grown on the I
American territories in question is
by the fact that it COM
manded better prices than that i'm
ported from foreign countries, Porto
Rican having averaged 1874 cents per
pound and Hawaiian coffee las cents,
while that from foreign countries
averaged only 10.4 cents per pound
1t the points of shipment In each
case however, these prices are below
the wholesale price in the United
States, as they are exclusive of trans
oortation charges, brokerage, and 9TH
er expenses which would be included

SEALING OUTLOOK BAD
Eight Steamers damned i'm the Ice
on Newfoundland Coast.

ST Johns, March 22-Wireless re-
ports today from the sealing fleets
indicate the outlook for the season is
unfavora BILE.
The eight steamers of the eastern
fleet, after working their way through
the ice for $50 miles up the eastern
coast of Newfoundland, are now
damned in the heavy floes off Cape
st. John, about 125 miles south of
the entrance to the strait of Belle
Isle.
Five hundred seals taken by the
steamer Florizel last Saturday COM
prise the total catch to date. In the
average season the eastern fleet cap
tured about 10000 seals by this date.
The vessels of the western fleet so
far have made no catch.

Jack Frost never had the chance to
go to school when he was a boy, as
you do, so no wonder he never learned
to write as well as you can.
What's that you say? you didn't
know Jack Frost could write even a
little? ' Dear me, of course he can!
Not only a little but a great deal! He
likes to write, spends a good part of
his time writing, if you only knew it;
but the trouble is, he writes so poorly
that lots of folks never can read what
he says, isn't that too bad?
