But, although the berry has been used to
a limited extent for hundreds of years,
its greatest development as a beverage
has taken place during the last q years

The state of Sac Paulo. Brazil, produces
about two-thirds of the coffee crop Of the
world, or over 1l,500oOO bags. In 1880, this

One plantation contains 5000. co trees,
covering territory about ~ miles across.
On this estate there are employed 5000
persons in caring for the trees. packing
the cherries. and preparing the berries

matters, of course, are handled by a
Commission appointed by the Presi-
dent. Whenever any special legisla-
ton is desired it iscared for by some
individual member or by the District
Committee of the House. If this
bill becomes a law, and it is likely to
be passed, the people Of Washington,
after all these years will have their
own spokesman upon the floor.
The immigration bill was passed
by the House last Thursday and
while somewhat less stringent than
the bill of last session, it again pro-
vides for slight literary test. Last
session the same bill was passed by
Congress overwhelmingly but was
afterward vetoed by the president.
It failed to receive the required two
thirds vote in order to pass it over
the veto but this year the majority
in both Houses will be larger than
ever before, according to indications,
and if again vetoed, it will be passed
over the veto. The restriction is
slight and not likely to affect the
number of new arrivals to the same
extent as laws by European countries
which may be enacted at the close of
the war. All the countries will find
it necessary to prevent wholesale
emigration and may be depended
upon to put up the bars in an effort
to prevent people from leaving their
home countries.
The old familiar river and harbor
bill is again before the House and
will not be disposed of for several
days. At the risk of repetition the
writer will say he is opposed to the
bill and has proposed a new water
way measure for a substitute.

cal change will be brought about I'M
