The four great coffee couutries of the world are Brazil, Java, Sumatra, and Ceyâ€" lon, The data and figures for 1879 show that Drazil itself has produced an extraorâ€" dinary quantity of beans. Hithorto, 250,â€" 000 tons have been considered as a good yearly figure for Brazil; last year, the exâ€" ports alone amounted to 273,000 tons. But the consumption of coffee in the country itâ€" self now amounts to 60,000 tons, raising the total yearly products of Brazil to 333,600 tons. Fortunately for the planters in othâ€" er parts of the world, coffee has grown into a necessity in the United States, and, thanks to this, its price has rison. Although the soil of Brazil, especially for coffee culâ€" ture, is very extensive, yet the dificulty of obtaining labor daily becomes greater, and this renders it doubtful whether the above figure can be much excceded. The crop in Java and Sumatra was estimated at 94,â€" 000 tons for export ; the consumption of th@ inhabitants, although the population is double that of Brazil, is not half of that ot the latter country. The production in Ceylon, though greater than that of 1878, shows a falling of when compared with other years ; there were in all 41,200 tons exported from the island, the native con* sumption being «mall. Coffee, is, besides, grown in Central Araerica, in several of the South American Republics, in the British and other eolonies of the West Indies, in Hayti, Cuba,Porto Rico, Arabia, Mauritiue, Reunion, and along the northâ€"east coast of Africa, in Liberia, and the African West Coast, in Manilla, Celebes, and several of the islands in the Pscific, and, lastly, in British India. â€" But the total production of all these regions does not reach half of the export of the four chief countrics named above.

The vegetable ivory nui is the produce of a species of palin which is mot | with in a wild state in South Amcrica and | Atvica. When imported into Europe the nut somewhat resémbles a Brazil nut, only lit is circular in shape, instead of triangular, | and they are about the size of a large walâ€" ! nut or small orange. â€" Tuside the bard shell ‘ [is the hard white ‘kerne!,‘ resembling ivory‘ i in appearance. This solid matter, being | softer than ivory, and easily carved or| turned in the lathe, and being easiiy dyed, and less brittle than bone, is lurgely emâ€" | ployed in the manufacture of buttons and | similar artioles. When expased fora longth of time to the air it aesumes the granular appesrance and the rich yellow, or rather | creamy tint of old ivory. This hard ‘kerâ€"| nel‘ is, in its natural formation, of the same nature as the ‘keruo!‘ of the cocoannt. The unripe fruit consists of a green shell, conâ€" taiving & watery fluid, which, as the nut I matures, gradvally thickens till it becomes a pulpy ftiass, and eventually hardens into } solid matter. The water, though bitter to the taste, is wholesome, and often renders invalttable servied to travellers who cannot otherwise obtain water to drink. Tt becomes sweeter as it thickens, and in South Ameriâ€" cn the puly mass is mixed with suger and water, aud largely consunted as a favorite beverage. ‘The tree on which the fruit grows is unlike an crdinary palim, having |. little or no stem, and drooping downwards especially when the weak branches are| overweighted by the six or seven bunoches| of nutsâ€"each bunch containing six or seven | sceds enclosed in their thick and heavy | shells.and outer sheath, and weighing altoâ€" gether from 20 to 24 lbs. Birmingham alone often uses as much as a ton weight in a day of these nuts, and the anâ€" |‘ nual import into this country amounts to a | | value of at least £100,000, while equally |‘ large qusantities are used in France and in | other parts of the Contitext: There is a|‘ bntton manufactiory at Berlin, Co.

The : t mill that used to altract crowds of farmers to the village is standing idie; the foundry that was burned down a few years ago has never been rebuilt, and is not likley to be: There is a fine water power there for manufacturing purposes, but no sign of manufacturing. Saxs the Walkerton Pelescope:â€"*Two years ago such a thing as an empty house was scarcely to be foond in Walkerton: Though money was somew hat prosperous.

The salt used zaust be perfectly dry ; if at all damp it would most probably penetrate the shell; Another method of preserving eggs is the covering them in a jar filled with lime: water recently prepared, and keeping in & cool, dry place. The limewater is prepared from quicklime by putting it into a quantiâ€" ty of water greater than would cover the eggs. ‘The limeâ€"water thus propared is alâ€" lowed to stand several hours and is then poured off for use. ‘The alkali held in soâ€" lution in the lignid closes the pores in the shell and prevents any fermontation of the egge. This is said to be the most certain and lasting method for the preservation of eggs: Here is how our money goes in Canmda.

Eggs are sometimes ancimtted with butter or oil for the same purpose: This serves to close the pores, For this purpose there have been recomâ€" mended several moethods. We have had eags well preserved for months by packing in salt, A box was put in a cool place in a callar; a stone jar would auswer as well; A Inyer of salt was put in the box, then m layer of eggs with the largo cnds downâ€" wards, the oggs not tonching one another ; then another layor of salt, then eggs, and so on til! the box was filled, the last being salt.
