Consul Muatersun of Aden. Am ft> n. furnishes n reuort to tbe de ipartinen! of aomutcree aud lubor on MtM'lia coffee which. will inter eat all lovers of t-he popular bev ?ru^f and surprise many who lm.agine that all the collet* they purchase under the label "Mocha1' is the genuine article. Mr. Mas teraoa explains the limitations upon the growth of Mocha and the ?are that is .tahen -by the local nu thoritics to prevent other coffees from being substituted and shipped from Aden .as Mocha, lie say*: "I suppose of all the many kinds of coffee grown the one and only Jcind of all that is unable to com jpete with other coffees is Mochn. Jfo matter how much greater and t -better the facilities are for linn dlingandpottfngcoffevon the mar let than in the past, or how much .more the growers may know about the best way of raising cof ' fee, the output of Mocha coffee re I snsins the same, or even leas, as ithe years go by, and until a com , plete revolution comes al>out in ithe way thi? crop is handled the output will i\*.nain the same or ; gradually grow less. "Unlike the raising of coffee in other countries where we cau, 1 .about each crop, how much it will i without much difficulty, know; all j llikety yield and the condition of i .each growing crop, the raising of | Mocha coffut is dono l-r A paKr I ?*'? uui ;in the inountn noui country of Arabia, where no white man has .ever been, and statisticians and .crop forecasters are unknown. 'There arc no extensive plauta tious out there us we know of ithetn in other places, but each .Arab has his own few bushes Around hia little house and raises .enough coffee for his own use aud a little for trading for other coin* qioditics. It thus becomes a diffi .cult und alow process to collect -.front hundreds of people enough to load a earn van. The market of Aden and Ilodeidp are several hundred miles from where the coffee is grown, and the journey to these markets takes several weeks. "In passing through the severAl districts under control of some native sheik or Turkish official this coffee is always subjected to u levy toll or tariff from each official. Then, when it finally reach.-es the seaport market, the process #4>f Anally arranging it for shipment is a stow and expensive one. It is always brought in unhulled, or just as it was picked from the ^ .plant. It Is first hulled by pissing it between two millstones turned lir hand; then it ia winnowed and sorted by Indian women, each Ki.ln i L " 11 *#! ? Ulltliiliv IIIDPfQ over and all the- uneven ur in different .ones b-dng taken out. Then it ia ready for packing and ahiping. Anyone can see that coffee raised, 'handled and marketed in such a fashion can never compete w th coffee raised tinder more favor able coutVtiona. and it can further be seen thn* Mocha coffee is bound to be of a higher price and that priors are also wound to remain stationary as long as aurh conditions prevail."

RUNNING FASHIONABLE This Sport of Scandinavian Origin li Hot Conflnid to Land of Birth, But Is Sajoytd Elsswhers. ftki running is of Smndinnviai origin, but has of lute bet-oiiu jpute a fashionable sport in othe? ooujLtrh*s where natui-al fueilitei forita<ni]orment exist. The ski?piououneed shoe?is 1io\ve?er, not confined to sport it Jtlie land of its nativity. It form: an cosiiivuii ini-iur ni ine lives 9 ,the people of Northern Europe? a necessary medium of trnve where the country lies deep buriet. in snow so that walking is impos sible. When a wolf is discovered the hardy peasants lose no time in arranging a ski hunt against the enemy. Where the wolf lead* they follow, and the sense of self preservation ?is so strong that .though members of the party drop from fatigue and exhaustion, the fittest hunters press on till the oh ject of the hunt is attained. On its native snows the ski -was uaed as a means of getting through the day's work, and of fered little inducement toward recreation and reluxution. But in the hilly countries of its adoption, where slopes can be descended ut lightning speed and where one finds the keenest delight in the mere fact of traveling, ski runn:ng has taken the place of skating both as a national and a fashionable pastime. I Th>. art of jumping on skis was first Drought to prominent notice by the peasants of Telemarken, to whom ruuning, leaping and glis nding down hillsides on this picuresque footgear cnine as naturally as walking in boots does to us. By and by the Norwegians of the towns, wont to lead an indolent, enervating existence during the winter months, were attracted to the ski as a possible means of healthy amusement. To such purpose did they apply themselves in me iu'w ujiori mm tney soon outdid their teachers, the country (oik, in skill and daring. Nor is indulgence in this invig orating pastime confined to the male portion of the community. Till recently it was not considered correct" for ladies to ski. but habit line broken down the barrier of prejudice, and now skiing is the national sport of the Scandinavian women. HER PA HAD AN AUTO, TOO j Therefore This Brokeu-Down Machine Owner Might Swear Before Little Girl ou Curbstone. Gavin L.

It stopped, and no pulling of levers or turning of cranks was sufficient to induce it to go farther.

However, the strug glea with the auto had attracted n good sized company of children, and Mr. Payne did nothing worse thnn think. The children's j interest grew as the nutoist link- | ered. Among them was a little 1 girl with long, golden hair, and i deep blue eyes. Rhe crowded close j to Mr. Payne as he worked. Finally he became so exasper- | ated that it seemed as if lie really must say something. He turned to the little girl. "I wish you would run away, little girl," he remarked. "Why?" she asked, looking up at him. Perhaps he wished to tell the truth; [>erhaps he only wished to see what the little girl would do. ' At any rate he said to her quite ' frankly: " Iwant to swear." "Go right ahead," replied the child; "don't mind me. My father has an auto too." Ih? Time to Climb.
