restricted, there must be a certain

all parts OF Europe begin the day with
coffee Just as does this country. The
Russian day begins, and sleeps, and
ends in tea. The German day begins
in coffee and ends in tea and beer. In
Austria, as In France. the day runs
from a pot Of coffee to a demf-tasse.
In Turkey, coffee takes the place OF
the soda fountain and the saloon, be-

and to the comfort of humanity. The

and to the comfort OF humanity. The
story then goes on:
THE people Of the world annually
consume more than two and one-half
billion pounds Of coffee-enough to
load a train OF cars reaching from
Philadelphia to Pittsburg. Three
fourths Of this is grown in Brazil,
q country that has become rich from
its coffee industry alone. Europe and
North America bear approximately the
same relation to the consumption OF
coffee that Brazil does to It's produc-
ton, these two continents using nearly
four-flfths Of all the coffee the world
produces.
Holland Drinks Coffee.
HOLLAND is the greatest coffee
drinking nation on the globe. 1t uses
fifteen and one-eighth pounds per cap
ita annually, while we use nine and
one-half pounds, Germany five and
one-eighth pounds. Austrla-Hungary
two and two-ffths pounds, and the
United Kingdom two-thirds Of pound
On the other hand, we use less than
one pound OF tea per capita, where
the United Kingdom uses nearly seven
pounds. Canada is about two-thirds
English and one-third American in it's
use Of coffee and tea; 1t shows de-
cided preference for tea, but drinks
less of 1t than the mother country,
making up the difference with coffee.
The Germans and the Austrians use
only negligible quantity OF tea.
1.-THE coffee plant Is shrub which,
under cultivation, grows from four to
six feet high. In its wild state 1t
grows three or four times as high as
in it's cultivated state. The dwarffng
Of the plant increases the crop and
facilitates picking. The leaves are OF
a fresh green color; the flowers are
white and have an odor strongly re-
sembling jasmine.
1.-THE green coffee berry OF commerce
Is nothing more nor less than the
seeds OF the coffee cherry These
cherries turn crimson on ripening.
They are then picked. the pulpts taken
of by machinery, and the two husks
which lie between the pulp and the
seeds themselves are removed. The
coffee has to be thoroughly dried be-
fore the husks can be taken off. and
on many plantations there are whole
acres of concrete floors for this drying

process.
when run through machinery for
the removal Of the husks, these latter
are blown away like chaf, and the
coffee grains are run over sleeves SO
arranged as to grade them and bag
them according to size, ready to be
shipped to the worlds markets.
An Asiatic Industry.
"The growing of tea is largely an
Asiatic industry. The tea plant is a
hardy evergreen shrub, growing from
Twelve to fifteen feet high in its wild
state, but dwarfed under cultivation
! II prefers subtropical climate where
The rainfall approximates fifty inches
year. After the leaves are picked
the tea reaches it's commercial state
by two routes-one producing the
black variety and the other the green
"The leaves are first dried in the
sun in the case Of the black tea, and
in pans over fire in the case OF the
green tea. In both processes the
leaves are next rolled until soft. Black
tea is next fennented, then fired, and
finally sorted. Green tea Is withered
again following the rolling process
sorted into bags, and then slowly
roasted.
