UNIQUE WEDDING GIFT. A Pretty Custom That Is Peculiar U Brazil. Coffee as a wedding gift is peculiar to Brazil. The custom In coffee raising countries is unknown in other parts of the world. When a child Is born In the coffee country a suck of the best grain is set aside as part of the inher itance, to bo received on attaining its majority. Usually the sack is the gift' from some close friend or relative, and it is guarded as sacredly as if it wero' a gift of gold or bonds. No stress'! would Induce a Brazilian parent toune,.,,v coffee which was mado the birth gift of a child. As n rule, It is sealed .with the private seal of the owner and bears a card giving all particulars about the variety of grain, its age on being sacked, the birth of the child to whom it is given and other details which are very interesting when the gift is due. Generally tho coffee is opened for the first time when the child marries. Tho coffee for the re ception or marriage feast Is made from the legacy, nnd according to precedent JT this must be the first time the Back is ' opened. After the coffee Is made for the wedding feast the sack Is carefully ' closed and sent to the new home of the young couple and should keep them In this stnplo for a year at least When both bride and bridegroom have the birth gift of coffee they hay,e started life under very hopeful conditions, so far as one necessary Is concerned. Few people know that the older the 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 conditions will bring from $1.50 to $3 a pound from connoisseurs. The giving of pounds of green coffee Is a common practice In the coffee belt Friends exchange these gifts nnd compare results. When one cannot nfford to give a sack of coffee It frequently Is tho case that ten pounds of the best, grain are packed In a fancy ease and bestowed on a newly bora child, with directions that It must not bo opened until the wedding day.
