"Coffee planters in Gautemala have a double way of making money," said Carl F. Ebberle, of Philadelphia, at the Na tional. "In the first place they have all grown rich during recent years because of the high price of the bean and the de cline of the Brazilian coffee plantations upon the abolition of the monarchy. A very great impetus was given to coffee culture in Central America, and now there is very little good coffee land in Guatemala that is not cultivated, but there is plenty of iand in Nicaragua. It coats about nine or ten cents per pound to land coffee in the New York, London or Amsterdam markets. When ? it sells from fifteen to thirty cents the enormous profit is plain. The rich plant ers spend their winters in Paris or Lon don. There are millions of German cap ital invested in coffee, and the Germans practically control the trade. American interests are small. In all large cities in Mexico and Central America are seen big German commission houses and re tail stores. "The coffee planters are paid for their product in gold. They pay their hands and other expenses on their plantations in silver. As their own silver money is worth about sixty-four cents on the doi lar it is easy to see what it means to tbem when exchange is thirty-six cents. The life of a coffee planter is an ideal one wheu once established, for the plan tations are at an elevation usually of over 3C00 feet above the sea in the moun tains and the climate is delightful. The profits from large plantations, and most of them are good sized, are princely and the planters are enabled to travel where they will, for people will drink coffee and as long as the trees are kept in bearing the return is certain. It takes large cap ital, however, to embark in the business, since you must expend large sums and wait four years before there is a sub stantial return." Washington Star. The New Bread.

Hood's Cures My He altli is Solid As a Duck's Foot in the Mud Cured of Gravel and Indigestion, by Hood's Sarsaparilla Mr. Frederick Earnfred Chicago, Illinois.

M. de Ujfalvy stood on the carriage steps, re volver in hand, ready to shoot the mid dle horse, hoping that if he fell dead the others would halt, borne Cossacks who saw the danger rushed to us shouting, 4Don't fire."
