Costa Rica's Coffee Exports.

Official statistics of Costa Rica's
coffee exports for the past season
show shipments totaling 27O44, $50
pounds gross-100S9 pounds less
than during 1856. Of Benefciado
or full milled coffee 24,749, 135 pounds
were exported, and 2295,41 pounds
of the Pergamino (parchment) grade,
these quantities being respectively
91.51 per cent and $40 per cent of the
total. The United States took 53.16
per cent of the shipments, the United
Kingdom 40.14 per cent, and Panama
the bulk of the remainder. Some cof-
fee was sent to France, Italy, Spain
and Chile, The province Of San Jose
supplied 46.34 per cent Of the exports,
Heredia 1882 per cent, Cartago 1922
per cent, and Alaiuela 1898 per cent.
The estimated value Of the coffee ex-
ported was S,12S, ,489 colonies. CAT nor

The 1918 crop is placed at 30,000,-

WHAT THUMBS ARE WORTH
Digit is Estimated. to Represent Fully
one-Third Of the Total Value
Of the Hand.

One has only to grasp a pen or a
tool or some sort TO realize that the
different fingers are far from having
the same value in regard TO their use
fulness in performing work. The most
important, states a writer, is the
thumb, for without it seizing or hold
ing would be very imperfect. The
hand is no longer pincers, but merely
q claw, when deprived of the thumb.
1t may be estimated that the thumb
represents fully third of the total
value Of the hand. The total loss of
the thumb is estimated by competent
authorities as 10 to 81 per cent for the
right and 10 to Is per cent for the left
hand, except for workers In art, when
~ to 80 for the right and % to 40
per cent for the left hand comes near
er the value.
The total loss of the index finger
causes an incapacity estimated at from
10 to 25 per cent for the right hand
and 10 to 15 per cent for the left.
The middle finger Is less important
than the index. The ring finger is
least important, and the little finger
may be compared to Its neighbOr, en-
cept In the professions In which It
serves as q point Of support for the
hand.

AS THEY SHOP IN GUATEMALA
Visiting is Principal Feature Of Buy
Ing Expeditions, Business q Later
Consideration.

sour own way Is always the best
way" said philosopher who under
stood human nature, and why every
body else does not go our way is a
cause of constant surprise. For In
stance, In shopping.
How would you like to shop in
Guatemala? They are very polite
people, and on coming into the store,
will pass some remark about the
weather, and ask how business is. Then
comes a string of questions about the
health Of the proprietor and all his re-
latIons and friends; and when all the
questions are asked, the proprietor
turns around and asks the same ques-
tions OF you. Then the proprietor
gets down to business. and takes down
all his stock, which is all examined and
priced, and then you say you will go
home and think about it.
The next day, you return with the
whole family-men, women, children
and vistors-all the saIutations are re-
peRted, and all the stock displayed
again. After two or three hours of
this sort Of thing, you buy perhaps a
yard OF muslin, and have it charged on
80 or 60 days time. This 80 delights
the proprietor, that he fellows you to
the door, and asks all the questions of
your health all oyer again. It is need
less to say that Guatemalan merchants
were never known to get rich.

OPPOSES MORE DRY LEGISLATION

President Wilson Tuesday declared
his opposition to further prohibition
legislation until the food administra-
tion decides it is necessary to conserve
foodstuffs. His position was made
known in letter to Senator Shep-
pard of Texas. A house amendment
to the agricultural appropriation bill
would prevent the expenditure Of
$6,O00,000 unless the president pre-
vents the use of grain in the produc-
tion of alcoholic liquors.

As Effective as Tanks.

Cyprus, the founder of the Persian
empire, first put into practice the
idea of equipping the wooden ammu-
milton carts of ancient Romans and
Egyptians with sharp scythe-like
knives. These were fastened to the
body and wheels Of chariots, and were
effective in charging among massed
troops.
In the middle ages the modest
knived chariot was transformed into
a movable tower, covered with sur
face armor, affording protection to men
inside. These were moved during d
siege over the mOats surrounding cas-
ties. From them a platform was let
down on the top of the walls, which
served as a bridge for the attacking
troops.

RAiSINS and Wine
important Products of the Fa-
nous Malaga District.
Vines Not Trained on Arbors, but
Pruned to Form Bushes Cover
ing About One Square

The two principal varieties Of grapes
grown In the Malaga district are the
muscatel and the Pedro Ximen. Rails
ius and wine are both made here from
the muscatel and wine from the Pedro
Ximen, observes a correspondent
The vines are not trained on arbOrs,
but are pruned to form bushes that
cover an area of about one square yard
at harvest time. The vines are set out
in rows ten feet apart. During the
spring and summer they are carefully
cultivated and sprayed with sulphate
of copper to destroy insects. The
grapes begin to ripen about the first of
August. LabOrers with large fiat
baskets or trays gather the fruit. 1t
Is not all cut out at one time, but the
field is gone over periodically and only
the ripe clusters are cut from the vine
with scissors.
The raisins produced near Malaga
are not treated with sulphur, lye, or
oil, as is the practice in other parts
of Spain. In or near the grape field
there is thrown up an earth terrace
inclined toward the setting sun. This
is divided into sections about ten yards
long and twelve yards wide, around
which a low brick or stone wall is
built, to protect the raisins and to sup
port the canvas stretched over them
at night or during inclement weather,
The object of this slanting surface is
10 keep the sun constantly shining
upon it. The bottoms of the drying
beds are covered with fine gravel to
retain the heat.
Immediately after being gathered,
the grapes are spread out on the beds
for exposure to the burning sun. At
nightfall the raisins are covered with
canvas to protect the fruit from the
heavy dew, and, as stated, the canvas
is also spread oyer them in the event
of rain. There is rarely any rain in
this section during May, June, July,
August and September. During the
process Of drying the grapes that re-
main green or become spoiled are care
fully removed, and the clusters are
turned from time to time in order that
they may color uniformly. The drying
process takes about three weeks, so
that the first raisins of the season are
ready for packing about the end Of
August. Heaviest shipments go for
ward in September.
Before packing the raisins are sort
ed and graded. After small and i'm
perfect raisins have been cut off the
clusters are laid in boxes lined with
white paper and containing usually 22
or % pounds Of fruit. Good fruit which
has become detached from clusters
through shaking and raisins cut from
small and irregular clusters are sepa-
rated from the rejected fruit and are
also packed for shipment. The boxes
Of raisins are then brought to Malaga
by the growers for disposal to the ship
pers and dealers. The prices realized
vary considerably according to the
quality of the fruit and the quantity
Of the crop, also according to the con-
: ditiOn Of the industry in the other
countries where raisins are produced
and the general demand in the world
markets.

After the second fan, Smith lay

all of the go from Smiths work and
he fell an easy victim to Mainford for
