It is only on the world’s waistband that the starry white coffee flower blooms. Only between the fifteenth de grees, north and sonth of the equator, can the tree be successfully grown and on those altitudes which are between the 3,000 to 5,000 feet mark. Left by Itself the plant will grow to a tree twenty-five feet In altitude; but, as man Is not usually over two yardsticks high, the bearing shrubs are kept by prun ing under a maximum height of ten feet, so that they can be easily han dled. The seeds are thickly sown in the nursery, but as soon as babyhood has passed and the tender sprouts are able to beat a breath of wind or changes of temperature they are transplanted into orchards. They are set pretty far apart so that while young and not yet bearing the soil may be utilized with parallel rows of corn, bananas or plan tain. A thrifty shrub grows berries when three years old and continues to bear during twenty years from three to six pounds of beans. Ita glossy green leaves remind one of the laurel, and the fragrant, white, five petaied flowers—tile perfume varying in dif ferent countries and localities—grow in clusters of from three to ten each in the axils of the branches. Well regu lated streams of water run through the orchard to secure lusty growth, but when the berries begin to ripen the water is turned off lest the fruit be too succulent. The twin beans or nutlets ripen within a mass of pulp that looks like a dark red cherry, or in tint and size rather like a cranberry. This pulp, when perfectly ripe, is delicious to the taste, but when dried it is taken off either by hand or, as is usually the ease in present day operations in Bra zil, by most modern machinery.—St Louis Republic. * WORKED TOO HARD, Why David Graham Phillips Once Lost a Situation. People who thought that the late David Graham Phillips had a rapid, fluent and even at times overhasty pen were very far from the truth, says a writer in the Bookman. Mr. Phillips himself admitted freely that from first to last he always found lit erary composition a labor—a labor of love that he could not have shirked if be would, but none the less a labor. A story which he sometimes told at his own expense illustrates this. It was shortly after his graduation from Princeton that he sought work as a reporter and finally by offering his services for nothing obtained a chance to show what he could do on the lead ing dally in a western city. The weather was cold and the tem perature of the office somewhere be low 00 degrees, yet hour after honr Mr. Phillips would sit at his desk with the moisture rolling from his brow In the anguish of trying to make litera ture from such material ns “Yester day afternoon John Jones fell off a ctepladder and dislocated his shoul der.” One day—it was the tenth of Mr. Phillips’ services—the presiding genius of the paper happened to pass through the city room and stood for some min utes watching him. “Who is that young man?” he pres ently asked the city editor. The latter explained. “Get rid of him!” came the curt edict. “But,” expostulated the city editor, “we are getting him for nothing.” “I don’t care,” rejoined the higher power. “I don’t care if he is paying for the privilege. Get rid of him at once. I can’t bear to see any human being work so hard." The Scream of Ennui. A dog howls when he is lonely, a cat wauls (the word must be right, for it comes from "caterwaul”) because of some combative or amative impulse, but a parrot screams through sheer’ boredom. X sometimes think it Is the only creature that shares with us that secondary curse which followed our ejection from Eden—ennui. And 1 kno\\ that it Noah fed his auimals well and if they had plenty of room for exercise the only creatures who rebelled vocally against the dire tedi um of voyage and the creatures who made the most noise, bar none, were the two little papingoes. as our fore fathers used to call them.—Atlantic. Slipper Day In Holland. There, is a curious festival called Slipper day celebrated iu Holland. Slipper day in the Netherlands is the one day in the year in which the Dutch woman claims superiority over her husband. On that day she i rules him to her heart’s content, and i he gener i lly obeys good humoredly \ enough— Unit is, unless she is one oflthose la dles not unknown in Holiandior in any other country who aspire to4complete rule over their unhappy partners throughout the year. Badly Handicapped. ■“How did your show go on thearoad?" “Bad. We were fearfully handicap ped by the plays we selected.'” “Eh? Why, I thought the dramas in your repertory were the finest you could secure.” “Yes; but we couldn’t play (’em.”— Cleveland Plain tDealer. Extremely Rare.

The Singular Memento That Was Sa credly and Secretly Treasured by a Cold, Rigid and Rather Disagreeable Old Englishwoman. “When I was a very small boy In deed,” writes Ford M. Hueffer In Har per’s, “when I wore green velveteen clothes, red stockings and long golden curls. tbU3 displaying to an unsympa thetic world the fact of my pre-Ha pbaelite origin, I was taken one day Vo a very large hall, in front of us was a wooden platform draped all in red. Upon the platform was a grand piano. “In front of me the first row of the stalls had been taken away, and in place of them there had been pot three gilded armchairs, before which was a table covered with a profusion of Bowers that drooped and trailed to the ground. Suddenly there was applause —a considerable amount of applause. A lady and gentleman were coming from under the dark entry that led to the artists’ room. They were the I’rince and Princess of Wales. There was no doubt about that even for a small boy like myself. “And then there was more applause. What applause! It volleyed, it rolled round the hall. All were on their feet. People climbed on to their chairs, they waved hands, they waved pro grams, they waved hats, they shouted, for in the dark entrance there had ap peared, white and shining, a head w^th brown and sphinxlike features and white and long hair and the eter nal wonderful smile. “They advanced, these three, amid those tremendous shouts and enthusi asm—the two royal personages lead ing the master, one holding each hand. They approached the glided armchairs Immediately In front of me, and the prince and princess indicated to the master that he was to sit between them at the table covered with flowers. “He made little pantomimes of mod esty, he drew his hands through their grasp, he walked quickly away from the armchairs, and because I was Just behind them he suddenly removed me from my seat and left me standing un der all the eyes, solitary in the aisle of the center of the hall, while he sat down. £ do not think I was frightened by the eyes, but I know 1 was terribly frightened by that great brown, aqui line face, with the piercing glance and the mirthless, distant, inscrutable 5inile. "And immediately just beside me there began what appeared to be a gentle and courtly wrestling match. A gentleman of the royal suit approach ed the master. He refused to move. The prince approached the master. He sat indomitably still. Then the prin cess came and. taking him by the hand, drew him almost by force out of my stall, for it was my stall, after all. “And when he was once upon his feet, ns if to clinch the. matter, she sud denly sat down in it herself, and with a sudden touch of good feeling she took me by the hand—the small soli tary boy with the golden curls and the red stockings—and sat me upon her lap. I, alas, have no trace of the date on which I sat in a queen’s lap. for it was all so very long ago; the king is dead, the master is long since dead, the hall itself is pulled down and has utterly disappeared. “I had a distant relative—oddly enough an English one, not a Ger man—who married an official of the court of Weimar and became a lady in waiting on the grand duchess. As far as I know, there was nothing singu larly sentimental about this lady. When I knew her she was cold, rigid and rnther disagreeable. She had al ways about her a peculiar and disa greeable odor, and when she died a few years ago it was discovered that she wore round her neck ti sachet, and in this sachet was a half smoked cigar “This was a relic of Franz Liszt, lie had begun to smoke it many years be fore at a dinner which she had given, and. he having put it down unfinished, she had at once seized upon it and had worn it upon her persou ever since. This sounds inexplicable and incredi ble, but there it is.” Settling a Bill. When Andrew Jackson lived at Salisbury, N. O., he once attended court at Itockford, then the county seat of Surry, and left without paying his bill, which was duly charged up against him on the hotel register, which seems to have been the hotel ledger at that time, and so stood for many years. When the news of the victory of the 8th of January, 1815. was received in this then remote sec tion the old landlord turned back the loaves of the register, took his pen and wrote under the account against Andrew Jackson. “Settled in full by the battle of New Orleans.” She Meant Well. The lute Sir Wilfrid Lawson, the rigid apostle of temperance, while on a week end visit made the acquaint ance of a sharp young lady of seven, to whom, on leaving, he said: “Now, my dear, we have been talking some time. 1 am sure you have no idea who 1 am.” "Oh* yes. I have,” the little missy replied. “You are the celebrated drunkard.”—London Graphic. Not by years, but by disposition, la wisdom acquired.—Plautus.
