whilo tlmt of coffee is increasing Tor tho yenr ending July 11808 more than 100000000 pounds of coffee were imported into tho United States This was moro than 100000000 more pounds than had over boon brought horo in any preceding year Tea shows a sliding Bcalo this other way of equal significance For tho sumo timo 70000000 pounds of tea woro shipped into this country whilo tho year boforo there

pinnist gnvo a concert nt which he plnyed a duet for two pinnos with a pupil Tho pupil a young man of grent talent had come from a smnll town and one of tho well to do nativeH of tho town went to tho city for tho solo pur poses of attending tho concert On his return ho was asked what ho thought of tho young mans musicul achieve ments IIob doing as well as anybody could wiBh and holl do better yot replied tho prosperous townsman with deci sion Ho played a pieco with his tenehor that was 20 pages long Ho gave tlio teacher tho stnrt by fivo minutes anil then ho clipped in nnd thoy camo out nt the end nip nnd tuck if youll bo liove me Woll sir when I heard that I made up nsy mind wo neednt worry another mite about bow Goorgo would succeed His tcachorB considered tho beat piano player in this part of tho coun try and if Georgo could do what ho did at thnt concert it wont bo many years beforo holl bent him outuud out yon can just rely on that Id bo willing to bet if I was n hot ting man thnt iu two years time thnt teacher wont dare to undertake one of thoso two piano pieces with Georgo unless Georgo gives him n good ten minutes start of him I Yonths Com panion Camt Twiddle Their Thumb The gorilla nnd chimpnuzeo which belong to tho higher order of npos hnvo many points of resemblance to man bnt thero is one tiling they cannot do thnt is twiddle their thumbs In the gorilla tho thumb is short nnd does not reach much beyond the bottom of the first joint of tho forefinger It is very much restricted in its movements and the anituul can neither twiddle hiB thumbs nor turn them round so thnt the tips describe a circle Thero nro tho same number of bones in the hand of a gorilla as in the hand of mnn but the thumbs of the monkey have no separate flexor or bending mus cle This is why n monkey alwnys keeps the thumb on the ennie side ns the fin gers nnd never bends it round nny ob ject thnt may be grnsped In the gorilla tho web betweon the fingers extends to the second joint tho fingers taper to tho tips nnd thero is n callosity on tho knuckles on which the animal rests when walking on all fours There aro mnny other strong points of resemblance betweeu the ape nnd man but
