 BACK AND READ GRAMMAR
Mrs. Katherine Fullerton GcrOuld Says British and American Writers |.
 Are Dull

New Haven, Nov. 2S.-Both the English and American novel have the faults of imperfect prose and dullness was the declaration of Mrs. Katherine Fullerton Geroud, well known Ameri- can author, in a lecture on the modern nove," at Yale last night.
 Mrs. Gerould characterized contem- porary noveists as naturalists, rather than realists, adding that British writerssare slightly superior to the American chiefly because of the lack of centralized civilization or back ground in the United States. In the United States there Is no particular center of civilization, that is, no city which may signify to the American what London does to the English man. she declared.
 The middle western group of all thors is the only one which may he styled as a school. said the lecturer since it alone has a definite point oi view Edith Wharton. she said. is the only contemporary American whr may be considered in the first rank.
 In conclusion Mrs. Gerould suggest ed as means of raising the general standard Of the American novel, that many of the authors be sent back to school to re-read their grammars.

How COFFEE TREES GROW
Berry or Bean Is Really the Seed
Natives Eat Fruit Which Looks
Like Cherries.

Coffee usually is spoken of as a
berry or bean but that part Of the
coffee tree that I'VE use is really the
seed. The trees grow naturally to a
height of from 20 to 80 feet, but this
natural growth rs checked by the
growers, who keep the trees as low as
five feet. The cutting does not iniure
the tree and it is far more convenient
to gather the fruit.
The coffee tree begins to bear when
it Is about three years old and it con-
tinues for about twenty years, the
singular fact about it being often no
ticeable that the fresh blossom and
the ripened fruit will appear on the
same tree at the same time.
The fruit of the coffee tree is round
and red and looks like our cherries
and, being sweet to the taste, is eaten
by the natives as we eat cherries.
Each berry contains Two seeds. the
beans with which we are familiar, in
closed in skin. with their fiat sides
together. The meat of the fruit is
valueless. so when the fruit is gath
cred it is dried so that the seeds may
be easily removed.
How coffee first came to be used
as a drink is not known, but it has
been so used for at least a thousand
years in Persia. 1t was introduced in
Europe about three hundred years ago.

About Socrates.

Al the dawn of modern history
stands the figure of an old stonecut
ter. attractive and quaint. likeable
and eccentric, but wholly unimpres-
sive; the last man in the world a
sculptor would take for any aspect
Of human glory. No picturesque dust
of the wilderness stains his shabby
garment; no prophetic fire burns in
his rather ludicrouS eyes. On the con
trary, he is a playful, whimsical, a
waggish, an ironical person; in form,
comic and clownish, so that he is lik
ened by one of his friends to a cot
tage loaf; in nature, nearer akin to
Bunyan, Samuel Johnson, Sir Thomas
Browne or even Charles Lamb, than
to John the Baptist. Mohammed, Luth-
err, Robespierre, or any other tirebrand
of history. Such was Socrates, the
originating genius Of common sense,
the great teacher of moral and int llec
tua veracity, one of the profoundest
influences in our Anglo Saxon civil
zation.-A Gentleman With Buster,
