UMFOK3I CIVILITY nr0 IUI) welcome to, the world when - everything peems to be fcolng against you, is to exhibit the rifc'ht sort of courage and to show yourself capable of overriding difficulties. Though firebrands may be thrown across your pathway and backbiting tongues assail you, if you still remain amiable and courteous, you will emerge from the ordeal unscathed. Civility and all that it Implies gives you the staying strength to-surmount obstacles and to pre.s forward In all kinds of weather. Scowls, frowns and short answers very' frequently make of the talented and gifted, sorrowful tollers, while, on the other hand, urbanity and suavity elevate men and women of moderate attainments to power and affluence. Civility commends itself to people who know not its name, but recognize It when they see It. The crabbed old boor and the proud youth are now and again arrested by its soft answer and smiling face, and even the rude f j The Friendly Path 4 By WALTER I. ROBINSON SELFISHNESS HINK of your tasks and not of yourself. Most of those who lind their daily work monotonous and Imagine they could get much greater enjoyment out of other employment would not be likely to make any greater headway or find greater pleasure in doing any other Job under the sun, unless they first had a change In their own viewpoint. Usually it is not what one may be doing, but the spirit In which it is done which makes work pleasant or undesirable. When people are constantly thinking of self and placing themselves above the importance of the duty at hand, the task will seem distasteful tud inconsequential, regardless of how much its successful accomplishment means to the world. The story Is told of a school teacher who hated her work and was extremely anxious to become a nurse. She complained that there was nothing to her life but a mile-long trip between two ugly fences twice a day and the Intervening hours spent in teaching the same monotonous lessons over and over again. So she thought it would be so very lovely to don a white cap nnd apron and devote,, the remainder of her life to coring for the sick. Fortunately she stated 'her opinion t( ft clear-headed and broad-minded ' physician ond osked him to aid her In finding employ tnent as a student In a hospital. When this- man heard why she wished to give up teaching ns a profession, he kindly told her that she was temperamentally unfitted to be a mirse, for nursing meant extreme self-sacrifice. If she thought so much of herself th'at she couldn't Und enjoyment In the work of making good and able Americans through teaching, due to her constant thoughts of self, he contended that she would have even n smaller chance f getting enjoyment out of the nursing profession, which demanded more deviation to others' welfare.

vagabond will stop a moment when it crosses his path and stare at itjn open-eyed wondejment. In some subtle way civility touches hearts and knits martklnd closer together, yet, despite this fact, it has a long way to go and a great deal of hard work to do before It can over take the masses and make them understand Its true worth. To those who are Just starting careers, and especially to the young, good manners are as essential to their success as good commendations. Indeed, politeness may be said to be the better thing of the two, for the reason that it builds character, and makes It Imposing in the eyes of others. There is no time in one's life that courtesy of behavior in the treatment of others falls to win recognition. The employee who is uniformly civil, considerate of his or her employer, and thoughtful of associates as well, Is usually the first to win promotion. If you will think back, study cause and effect, you will rind as you reflect that the greater number of failures in life had their beginning in incivility, and that those who today are conspicuously successful In the arts, professions and Industries were In their beginning, and are now, habitually courteous In words and acts.

A YOUNG reader has asked us if he can study law and the violin at the same time. He can. He also asks if he can be a great lawyer and a great violinist. He cannot. A man who wants to be a great lawyer is not going to have time to master any musical instrument more complicated than the penny whistle. The law requires time and thought. The violin requires time and practice. Kubellk spent about eight hours a day with his tiddle. At the end of that eight hours his tired brain would refuse admission to a single page of Blackstone, even were his Angers not too weary to hold the book. No boy should study the violin with a view to making it u profession tinless his talent Is such that he never could be contented with anything else. Of all the instruments in the world It Is the hardest to master, and none but geniuses ever can prosper as well by playing it as enn any fairly successful lawyer by following his profession. A ver great illustrator, known to the writer, discovered when he was twenty-one years old that he would have to stop trying to be a concert singer. He had a good voice and good musical ability. lint he found that cultivating one or either of these would take the time he needed for the study of drawing. Because he quit the music he became rich and famous. Had he kept at It he might have become a choir singer, or sung small parts in musical pieces. But lie never would have got any further a fact he found out before It was too late. Very few men can do any two things very well. Nobdy ever born can do two things "supremely well. Music is a lir.e accomplishment nnd brings much pleaur to eople In ither line of endeavor if they follow it with moderation. But only inuslrnl geniuses should specialize In it. C7opyrij:!it.)

Harvesting the (Prepared by the Natlonr.l G-cnraih!c Society, Vv'ahir.irton. D. t' ) On the gentle sloping hillsides of the northern portion of a single state of the great Brazilian republic there are some 700,000,000 coffee trees. Here on the famous rich, red soil (terra ro-sa), under extraordinarily favorable climatic conditions, the state of Sao Paulo Is producing annually close to three-quarters of the world's total coffee crop. Small wonder it is that this state ranks so high in the number and in the character of Its population; in the development of its railroads; in its general commercial and industrial activity. Small wonder is it that the city of Sao Paulo is so full of life and energy; that Santos has become so famous a port, that the Santos docks and the Sao Paulo railway attract so many visitors. ColTee is the mainspring of all this development. Coffee is the prevailing topic of conversation. Coffee is the key to the financial situation. Coffee is king. As a famous waterfall, or an immense steel plant, or a great forest, or a wonderful view attracts the traveler, so this remarkable Brazilian coffee district has a fascination all its own for the "globe-trotter," or for the more leisurely traveler who seeks to know something more definite about our South American neighbors ; or, more particularly, for any one to whom man's achievements in changing the face of nature by making the earth produce what he needs and what he finds profitable are a source of satisfaction and inspiration. Journey of Great Interest. The heart of the coffee country can be reached in less than three weeks from New York. The voyage to and from Bio Janeiro is a delrght which cannot fall to .satisfy even those who are not naturally lovers of the sea. What can be more Ideal for any one who is tired out with the wear and tear of a busy life than that voyage of two weeks from New York to It'o, over the calm seas and under the bright skies of the topics? From Bio de Janeiro a journey of about eight hours takes the traveler across the coast range of mountains (Serra do Mar) and along the valley of the I'arahyba river to' the city of Sao Paulo, which lies In a position of immense advantage to its commercial development. From the city of Sao I'aulo the heart of the coffee country Is reached in i short day's journey along one of the lines of railroad which go in a northerly or northwesterly direction across the' open campos or through the scattering woodlands. In about two hours after leaving the city of Sao Paulo the traveler begins to see the first considerable coffee plantations, and from that time on the Journey is one of the greatest interest. ColTee Is everywhere. Miles and miles of coffee trees stretch away, up and down the gentle slopes of the rolling topography, often as far as the eye can see great broad waves of green, with the narrow lines of the red soil showing In marked contrast with the green of the leaves. It is a sight which Is not soon forgotten. Here ami there are mall patches of forest which have not yet been destroyed to make way for the coffee. And then there come great stretches of rugged grasslands, partly used for grazing purposes, cr locally for farming, where the soil is not right for the coffee tiee. Charm of the Fazcndas. On the lower slopes of the hills or on the lowlands, standing out In marked contrast with the green coffee trees, are the white buildings of the fazendas great, substantial stone and stucco manor houses, with wide verandas and large windows, surrounded by gardens filled with palm, and banana, and orange, and mango trees; the extensive outbuildings, for the stables and for the machinery, for th laborers and for the superintendent, being,, placed at a respect. "ul distance from the manor house. All these Brazilian fazendas have a peculiar charm an appearance of solidarity, of comfort, of peace, and of prosperity as ?hey He there, surrounded by the wealth of their coffee trees, with cattle grazing on the neighboring fields, and with ever-buy, picturesque Italian laborers cjiring for the precious crop, whose market prices are quoted dally In all the important papers throughout the civilized world. The coffee trees on a Brazilian plantation begin to bear in from two to

four years after they have been removed from the nurseries, where they grow in wicker baskets, under shade. The fndt, when ripe. Is red, and resembles a small cherry, or cranberry, in general appearance. The coffee which we see in the grocery store is the seed of this coffee berry. Normally each berry contains two. seeds, fiat on one side and rounded on the other, the fiat sides being together. The seeds are imbedded in a sticky, whitish pulp, and are further themselves surrounded by two envelopes. Before the coffee bean can be put upon the market the outer covering, the pulp, and the two inner coverings must be removed. It Is customary to classify the methods of preparing coffee for market into the wet and the dry. They are alike, after a eeriain stage, and there is disagreement among experts as to the relative merits of the two in producing the best coffee. In the dry process the berries are dried before the pulp is removed, and then outer covering, pulp, and Inner coverings are removed together. In the wet process the pulp Is first removed in water, and t ho drying and removal of the inner envelopes come later. There Is no absolutely hard and fast rule, invariably followed on all fazendas alike, in the preparation for market of the coffee beans. A considerable water supply and a carefully planned system of small canals and of basins is needed in the wet method, and it Is partly for this reason. ;as well as because of the preference of some fazendelros for the dry method, that the wet method is not everywhere In use. Harvest Lasts Several Months. The harvest begins in May and lasts into August, or even September. This is the dry season, to that the weather conditions are very favorable, nut only for the harvest itself, but for drying and transporting the crop after it has been gathered. In picking the coffee, the boughs are pulled down with the left hand and held at the outer end, while the right hand is run along the bough from the base to the tip, thus stripping off the berries as well as many leaves and twigs. For the upper branches rude step-ladders are used. The .usual method of harvesting is to let the berries, twigs, etc., fall directly on the ground, where they are later raked together with wire rakes v.iih rounded teeth, and the first rough sorting is made. The next stage is a winnowing by means of a wire sieve, the hand being used to pick out the twigs and leaves and the wind blowing away a good deal of the dust as the contents of the sieve are thrown up into the air and caught again several times. In a less common method the results of the harvesting are allowed, to fall into cotton cloths spread out underneath the trees. This makes the gathering of theV-rop quicker. The berries are then assembled In sacks. From this point on the terries are subjected to various mechanical treatments. Under the ,4wet method' they are washed, churned with hoes, allowed to soften, and are then run through a mechanical pulper. The seeds, still enveloped by their Inner skins, are strained from the "mush" resulting from the pulping operations, and are then placed in basins to ferment slightly so that an3 remaining pulp will be loosened. They are then spread out on large paved surfaces to dry in the sun. When properly dried the seeds are gathered up and run through ingenious machines which rub off the skin. The particles of skin are sifted and blown out and the coffee beans hulled, cleaned and sorted fall directly from the last machine into the bags. When these contain 13J pounds each they are sewed up and are ready for shipment to market. Along the roads, deep in red dust, six or eight yoke of oxen draw the heavy wagon, loaded with the preclouf sacks, to the nearest railroad station. In cases where the railroad does not come directly Into the fazenda, as it often does. Off to the south go the trains, first to the city of Sao I'aulo, and then down the steep eastern slopes of the Serra do Mar to the world's famous coff'o port. In Santos, coffee absolutely dominates the lives of the people. Coffee Is everywhere on the streets, in the warehouses, on the train. Every one is busy with coffer
