Coffee Suit Expedited.

lay in the prosecution of the govern

and other members of (lie Brazilian
coffee "valorization combine." To
prevent any dilatory tactics that may
be resorted to, District Attorney
Wise has filed what is known as an
expediting certificate.
This action will have the effect of
removing the monopoly action from

PUBLC DOCUMENTS.
Easiest and Cheapest Way to Procure
Government Publications.
No doubt must people interested in
useful reading matter will thank us
fur information, obtained through otli
cial sources, as to how public docu
ment can be procured with least trou
ble and at trifling expense.
The idea that prevails most gener
allythat this class of literature may
be secured through the courtesy of
members of congress is correct only
iu so slight a degree that it had best
be corrected. There are nearly 500
senators and representatives; hence an
edition of several thousand copies, if
distributed pro rata, Rives to each only
a few copies. Some of these the sena
tor or representative needs for refer
ence, the few left over are soon ex
hausted, and those constituents who
then write for them are necessarily
disappointed, through no fault of the
public man whom they have addressed.
Now, as n general proposition, the
reader who la interested in a govern
ment publication will serve himself
lest by 'addressing the official known
as the superintendent of documents,
government printing office, Washing
ton, who is authorized to have reprint
ed any government publication for
which there is a demand, and sell the
same at cost to all applicants. 1 1? will
mail price lists, divided by subjects,
free upon application, and remittance
can then, as required by law authoriz
ing such sales, accompany the order.

SWORDS OF JAPAN.
Religious Rites Follow Every Process
of Their Making.
The sword making of Japan is per
haps t lie most curious in t lie whole
wor.d. In that country swords said to
be equal to those of Toledo or Damas
cus are made by a special series of
processes, but a feature of the industry
is the religious ceremonial that accom
panies every process.
On the walls of the huts in which
the work is done are representations of
the god of the sword makers and the
chief goddess of the Sliintos. There
are also bits of paper ami wisps of
slraw, charms to keep away evil spir
its. No fenile is allowed to enter the
place, as the presence of women is sup
posed to be conducive to the appear
ance of (lemons, who would certainly
bring disaster to the sword's mission.
Prayer is offered before the work be
gins, and various religious rites must
be performed before any one of the
swords can be declared to have been
well and truly made. .
The last thing that takes place after
the polishing and sharpening of the
swords Is the offering of them one by
one to the sword god to be blessed.
The weapon is placed in front of the
kaUemona on the wall, with an offering
of saki, rice and sweetmeats, after
whieli prayer scrolls are read and a
blessing upon the work is invoked.

COOKING VEGETABLES.
Use Uncovered Utensils Except For
Dried Beans or Peas.
Two mistakes are commonly made
in preparing vegetables for the table:
The first of these Is the practice f
keeping the vessel tightly covered dur
ing the entire process of cooking. This
is done usually with an idea of pre
venting the dissemination of unpleas
ant odors through the house. P.ut the
effect of It is dinvtly the opposite. Th:
odors confined within the vessel grow
Instead more rank with the chemical
changes that take place, and when the
vessel is opened occasionally, as it
must be, these extremely disagreeable
odors escape. P.esides this, the vege
tables themselves are made less di
gestible when cooked in this way, with
the exception of dried beans or dried
peas.
The second mistake commonly innde
is that of cooking vegetables too long.
Instead of being made more tender by
prolonged cooking many vegetables are
made unpalatable nnil Indigestible.
Cabbage, for Instance, If cooked the
right length of time, Is' pleasing of
flavor and for most persons entirely
digestible, but If cooked too long it
causes indigestion and loses Its flavor.

DECATUR'S DUEL""7".
Th Meeting With Barron Thet Ended
the Brave Commodore's Life.
The practice of dueling, inherited
from Filmland, led to some tragic
events in ,.ai iy American history. One
of thee resulted in the death of one of
our early naval heroes. Commodore
Stephen DecHtur. lie had gained dis
tinction h, n,L. 'j'ripolitau war, iu the
war of si2 and stood very high ii
popular esteem.
Another naval oliicer of the period
was Commodore Barrou, who com
manded the Chesapeake iu the light
with Hie British frlgute Leopard
While in command of the Chesapeake
he was charged with neglect of duty,
was tried by court martial, on which
Decatur served, and was found guilty
and suspended from the service.
Later when be applied for restora
tion Decatur declined to approve it, and
put of this grew a correspondence cul
minating in a duel, in one of his let
ters Decatur said. Between you nod
myself there has never been a personal
dilliculty. but I have entertained and
do slill entertain the opinion that your
condui t : s ;;n oili. er of the Chesapeake
has been s:i, h ;n ouuht to forever bar
your ivadtnissiou to l he service."
Barron sent a cha!lciii:c. which Deca
tur accepted. :r,;d 'the duel took place at
Blndci' diiii". near Washington. March
"'2, lvn. They fought with pistols at
eight paces, and both tired and fell
together, I'eatur apparently killed,
but !:e soi n revived enough to say a
few fri'iidlv words lo his antagonist,
who also lay on the ground. Both
were removed to Washington, where
Decatur died that night, but Barrou
recovered and lived till isr.l.
GYPSIES OF SPAIN.
Quick to Use Their Knives In Quarrels
Among Themselves.
One of the things to attract the no
tice of every traveler that visits Spain
is that strange race which he finds
scattered here and there in small
groups in the remote rural districts or
near the great centers of population.
It presents a type that can be mis
taken for no other iu the Spanish do
minions. The lips thick, the eyes large, black
and piercing; the hair long, black and
straight; the complexion olive tinted,
the Spanish gypsy, whether encamped
in a sheltering ravine or under the
arches of an aqueduct or in the shad
ow of an overhanging -i i 11". is indeed
Spanish because born in Spain, but in
all else he is a gyp.y.
Time was when Spaniards of the
true blue blood called gypsies "New
Castilians," or "Egypt ians." or "Moor
ish footpads;" but, while their traits
have undergone no change, their name
is now definitely gitanos. or gypsies.
Between TiO.iiOo and Cli.tiOo is the
number now in Spain. Most, of them
have no fixed abode, but in some parts,
and notably iu Andalusia, there are
st'veral small settlements, for towns
they can hardly be called, where these
wanderers have taken possession of
caves In the mountain side, whence
they sally forth to tell fortunes and to
filch. Wherever they are they are in
clined to be quarrelsome among them
selves and to enforce their arguments
by means of wicked looking knives,
which they wield with great dexterity.
America.
When Silk Hats First Came In.
Silk hats were known iu France some
years before John Ilelheringtou fright
ened Londoners by wearing one. They
came in with the French revolution,
when all patriotic citizens abandoned
wigs and had their hair cut short, en
gravings printed so early as IT'.M) de
pict sans culoite dandies wearing top
hats. In a rare print of the trial of the
Girondists, which tool; place iu 1 T! : S. all
ibe judges appear crowned willi silk
hats. Although the siik top hat is not
much inorj than a hundred years old,
hats of that shape were worn hundreds
of years before. Iu L'lizahci ban times
a cylindrical hat with a brliu rather
similar to that of the fifties and with
the addition of a plume was worn by
the nobility. According to Raphael, it
was worn very er; ch earlier even than
that. A red top hat appears In I lie car
toon "Paul Preaching at Athens."
The Life of the Soil.
The soil may lie said to be alive. It
is u matrix supporting various groups
of definite micro-ogiinisius, ami the in
vestigations of the past few years indi
cate the possibility of determining by
bacteriological diagnoses the crop pro
ducing capucitits of different soils. It
has been shown that the action of the
nitrifying bacteria, especially in sain
pies of soil, correlnles fairly well wild
the productiveness of tile same soils
under held i.udii ions.
Her Jewels.
"These are my jewels," sail Cornelia
proudly as she lined up her children
on the sidewalk.
"For the land's sake!" exclaimed the
itouiau lady who had just inovi-d next
door. "1 do hope you will keep them
iu the safe."- Jalvcs'.on News.
