war has materially retarded ell bind*

SNOXO THE OOFFEE SO TIT KBS.
Attar U># ooffea haa beee dried aod

tbe lestoriea tbii is done by machinery,
tbe ooffee being run over wire eorsoea
with meshes of different slice. Tbe
little round beans which form tbe very
best of tbe product, aod which look
like Mocha ooffea, drops Into ooa bag.
The largest of the flat-sided beaoe go

other
Machines, however, do not taka out
the bad grains. This most be done
bj the ooffea sorters, in every large
Porto Blcaa factory you And women
picking over tbe ooffee grains aod
separating the good from the bad. Io
the smaller factories the picking is
done aittlog on the floor before a low
box oovered with cloth. In the larger
ooes there are tong tables cut up Into
little boxes by many partitions, and
before each box ails a Porto Rican
girt alt* with a pits of greaa coffee
bases before bar. She picks them over
and over, handling ooffee from sunrise
to sunset.
During aj stay in Porto Rico I
visited factories where hundreds of
tbaae girls wars sorting ooffee. I made
some photograph! of them at work,
muoh to the amusement of all. They
arc black-eyed, brown-skinnrd maidens
with eyas aa laughing aa the Italian
ooffea picker* of Bratll. Not a raw
show signs of negro blood, and aomr
are quits blank. They slog as they
work, aad are evidently not dlsaaHifled
with their condition. Their wages on
the average leas than 29 cents a day.
