A Preacher's Partisan Prayer.
It is difficult for the fervent partisan
to avoid politics, even in the pulpit
There are those, too, who never try.
Among them was Father Taylor, the
Boston sailor-preacher. He was once
conducting a Sunday morning service
a few days before the state elections,
and he took the opportunity of offer
ing up a fervent prayer that a man
might be chosen for governor who
would rule in the fear of God, who
would never be afraid of the face of
day, who would defeat the ringlead
ers of corruption, who would defy his
own party if it yielded to wire pullers,
who— Suddenly Father Taylor
paused. Then he brought his prayer
to an abrupt conclusion. "O, Lord,”
he exclaimed, “what’s the use of box
ing the compass in this way? Give us
George N. Briggs for governor.
Amen!"

Commercial Spies.
Spying is as prevalent in the com
mercial world as in the political world,
though the existence of these com
mercial spies is not nearly so well
known. There are certain classes of
manufacturers, however, who habitu
ally employ a regiment of spies—com
petent men, whose businessMt is to go
to other lands and spy out the new en
terprises and inventions being made
by the various traders. Individual
methods vary very greatly, and are
often so subtle as to make It difficult
to tackle them.
Ideal Land for Coffee.
The coffee plant flourishes best in
well-watered region, in a tropical cli
mate at an elevation of 1,500 to 5,000
feet, and in a rich soil. All these ele
ments are found to perfection in Bra
zil, especially in the four states of Sao
Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espirito Santo
and Minas Geraes, whose combined
areas cover about one-eighth of the
vast domain of the republic. This sec
tion produces about four-fifths of the
world’s supply of coffee.
