COFFEE 43 A WEDDING GIFT
A Custom Which Is General In Coffee
Growing Countries
We have a custom in the coffee
raising countries said a high Brazil
ian official which is unknown in
other parts of the world When a child
Is born in the coffee country a sack of
the best grain is set aside as part of
the Inheritance to be received on at
taining Its majority Usually the sack
is the gift from some close friend or
relative and it is guarded as sacredly
as if It were a gift of gold or bonds
No stress would induce a Brazilian
parent to use coffee which was made
the birth gift of a child As a rule
It Is sealed with the private seal of the
owner and bears a card giving all par
ticulars about the variety of grain Its
age on being sacked and the birth of
the child to whom It is given and
other details which are very interest
ing when the gift Is due
Generally the coffee is opened for
the first time when the child marries
The coffee for the reception or mar
riage feast is made from the legacy
and according to precedent this must
be the first time the sack is opened
After the coffee is made for the wed
ding feast the sack is carefully closed
and sent to the new home of the young
people and should keep them in this
staple for a year at least When both
bride and bridegroom have the birth
gift of coffee they have started life
under very hopeful conditions so fir
as one necessity is concerned v
people Know tnat lue older in un
parched grain of coffee is the better
the flavor Like wine it grows with
age and that which is over twenty
years mellowing under proper condi
tions will bring from 150 to 3 a
pound from connoisseurs The giving
of pounds of green coffee is a common
practice in the coffee belt Friends ex
change these gifts and compare re
sults When one cannot afford to give
a sack of coffee it frequently is the
case that ten pounds of the best green
grain are packed in a fancy case and
bestowed on a newly born child with
directions that it must not be opened
until the wedding day
FIRST AMERICAN GLASS
Made at a Factory Built by a Boston
Man In New Hampshire
The first American glass factory -was
erected in the town of Temple N II
Washington in his diary speaks of
glass being made in New ETaven Conn
in the year 17S9
One would suppose by the language
he uses that he considers it a new and
quite extraordinary affair It was nine
years previous to this and during the
very Avar whose issue first enabled the
country to commence its own manufac
turing that Robert Ilewes of Boston
began to carry out the project which
he had long conceived but had hith
erto found impracticable if not impos
sible tinder English rule that of mak
ing glass in America for America
In 17S0 Mr Ilewes selected a site for
his factory secure from the British
forces his glassblowers were Hessians
and Waldeckers soldiers who had de
serted from the British army and he
must have had an eye for the beauti
ful in nature lie chose a spot on the
north slope of Kidder mountain near
its base To the northwest Mount Mo
nadnock rears its granite crown stand
ing like a giant sentinel to the north
and running east are the Temple moun
tains bold and precipitous to the east
a beautiful valley holds in its embrace
the towns of Wilton Milford and
Nashua while to the northeast Joe
English hill and the Uncanernucks
mountains conceal the city of Man
chester
The place is now reached by a two
mile walk over an old road long a
stranger to travel other than by graz
ing cows and nature loving tourists
The stonework about the ovens and
the foundations of the building are all
that now remain to remind us that
here was another example of the Amer
ican peoples struggle for independ
ence Crockery and Glass Journal
Commoners Not Wanted
No commoner however distinguished
however great his worldwide fame as
scientist artist or musician can hope
to belong to the German imperial circle
unless he be first dowered by his em
peror with the magic patent of nobil
ity No wife or daughter of a great
millionaire however honorable the
source of the husbands or fathers
wealth can dream of being presented
to the empress The Prussian nobility
form a caste entirely apart from the
rest of society and Berlin socially
speaking is composed of many differ
ent worlds none of which mingles with
the other London M A P
Saving Himself
The owner of an estate had the mis
fortune to get a charge of shot in his
legs from the double barreled gun of
an inexperienced sportsman The keep
er hastened to his master Youre not
dead are you he cried Of course
I am not you fool said the squire
rising Well sir not seeing you get
up after you were shot I thought you
must be dead remarked the keeper
Get up after I was shot not I re
sponded the squire If I had got up
the Idiot would have given me his oth
er barrel London Scraps
Very Thick
I wonder why Damon and Pythias
were such great friends queried the
young lady who writes type between
meals
They were like a couple of girl
chums I guess rejoined the bachelor
with the ingrowing hair Got so thick
they couldnt see through each other

The Omaha Trade Excursion
When these Omaha business men are
within a mile of town on their trade ex
cursion next week they intend to an
nounce their coming with long blasts of
a siren whistle which they carry on all
their trips for this purpose It is so
different from anything around here it
will be immediately noticed On ar
rival they will turn loose a full brass
band of twenty five pieces and intend
to make us know they are in town all
right Wo propose to show them were
a live lot ourselves and to that end
would ask that every citizen man
woman and child be at tho depot when
their train pulls in at seven oclock a
in May 25th They are coming a long
way to see us and we want to impress
them in such a way they will remember
our town when they get back home
The First Chautauqua
The original Chautauqua at Lake
Chautauqa X Y was founded thirty
two years ago by Bishop Vincent and
has served as a model for perhaps a
thousand Chautauquas throughout the
states and territories
These Chautauquas bring to the com
munities in which they are located the
best men of tho pulpit press and plat
form as well as tho best entertainers
and musicians that the country affords
The programs are calculated to reach
all classes of people That this is a
proven fact is shown by the great de
mand the country over by wide awake
communities for these summer assem
blies Much less than one percnt of
the towns which have had Chautauquas
have allowed them to be discontinued
Street Karnes and House Numbers
McCook has arrived at that import
ance and size as to require that her
streets be indicated and her houses
numbered Name boards might be at
tached to electric light or telephone
poles at intersections and the houses
should be required to be numbered by
the owners There is an old ordinance
covering this matter which if it has not
been revoked or invalidated could be
utilized to bring about the result indi
cated It is no longer illuminating to
state that Soandso live nest door to
Soandso It should be possible to dir
ect inquirers to a certain number on a
definite street But street boards or
signs and house numbers are necessary
to the end
Clean Up Citizens
All property owners renters and les
sors are hereby notified to comply with
the requirments of the city ordinance
respecting the cleaning up of their pro
perties and the alleys adjacent thereto
Let us have a prompt and thorough
compliance with the law in this regard
for appearance sake and in the inter
est of the health of the community

to guarantee advertisers value received
for their money Now is the time to
