UNI FOR 31 CIVILITY "p O BII welcome to the world when everything swins. to be going against you, Is to exhibit the right sort of cournge 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 press 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 Bee 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 r The Friendly Path By WALTER I. ROBINSON 2 SELFISHNESS "p HINK of your tasks and not of yourself. Most of those who find their daily work monotonous and Imagine they could get much greater enjoyment out of other employment would not be likely to make nny 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 bo 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 end 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 and apron and devote the remainder of her life to caring for the sick. Fortunately she stated her opinion to a clear-headed and broad-iulnded physician and asked him toald her In finding employment as a student In a hospital. When this man heard why she wished to give up teaching as a profession, he kindly told her that she was temperamentally unfitted to be a nurse, for nursing meant extreme self-sacrifice. If she thought fo much of herself that she couldn't find 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 a smaller chance of getting enjoyment out of the nursing profession, which demanded more devotion to others welfare.

vnguLond will stop a moment when It crosses his path and stare at it In open-eyed wonderment. In some subtle way civility touches hearts and knits mankind 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 overtake 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

If you will think back, study cause and effect, you will find 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 fhe violin at the same time. He can. He also asks If he can be a great lawyer and i great violinist. lie cannot. A man who wants to be a great lawyer Is not going to have time to master any musical Instrument mere complicated than the penny whistle. The law requires time and thought. The violin requires time and practice. Kubelik spent about eight hours a day with his fiddle. At the end of that eiht hours his tired brain would refuse admission to a single page of Blackstone, even were his fingers not too weary to hold the book. No boy should study the violin with a view to making it a profession un-' less 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 play ins It as can any fairly successful lawyer by following his profession. A verj 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. Iiut 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. llatl he kept at it he might have become a choir singer, or sung small parts In musical pieces. Hut he 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. Nobody ever born can do two tilings supremely well. Music Is a f'.no accomplishment and brings mucvi pleasure to people In other lines of endeavor If they follow It with moderation. Hut only musical frenlues should specialize In it. U'opyrljrht.)

Sao rmmMwm

!f TT (Prepared by the National Geographic So- ' city. Washington. I). C. ) On the gentle sloping hillsides of the northern portion of a single state of the great Brazilian republic there are home 700,000,000 coffee trees. Here on the famous rich, red soil (terra rossa), 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 tiro 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. Coffee 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 lias 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 IUo Janeiro is a delight which cannot fail 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 B?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 Parahyba river to the city of Sao Paulo, which lies In a position of immense advantage to Its commercial development. From the city of Sao Pnulo the heart of the coffee country Is reached in 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 frojn that time on the journey is one of the greatest interest. Coffee 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 soli showing in marked contrast with tbe green of the leaves. It is a sight which Is not soon forgotten. Here and there are mall patches of forest which have not yer toon destroyed to make way for the coffee. And then there come great stretches of rugged grasslands, partly used for grazing purposes. cr locally" for fanning, where the soil is not right for the coffee tree. Charm of the Fazendas. 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 Grange, and mango trees; the extensive outbuildings, for the stables and for the machinery, for the laborers and for the superintendent, being placed at a respectful 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 they lie there, surrounded by the wealth of their coffee trees, with cattle grazing on the neighboring fields, and with ever-busy, picturesque Italian laborers caring for the precious crop, whose market prices ore quoted dally in all the important papers throughout the civilized world.

Harvesting the Coffee Crcp.

TT r

four years after they have been removed from the nurseries, where they grow in wicker baskets, under shade. The fruit, 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, Hat 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. Pefore 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 certain 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. Iu the wet process the pulp is first removed in water, and the 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 far 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, tas well as because of the preference of some fazendeiros 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, so that the weather conditions are very favorable, not 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 I 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 rake with 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 eaught 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 the crop quicker. The berries are then assembled in sacks. From tlds point on the berries are subjected to various mechanical treatments. Under the "wet method' they are washed, churned with hoes, allowed to soften, and are then rin through a mechanical fmlper. 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 any 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 132 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 precious 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 Paulo, and then down the steep eastern slopes of the Serra do Mar to the world's famous coffee 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 coffee
