318 COFFEE. 



that to be found in New York. I speak advisedly in this respect, 

 although it may be egotistically ; but on the principle that 



" Who dilves fat oxen should himself be fat," 



I believe that he who caters for others should be a judge of qual- 

 ity, and I have studied the conditions necessary for the produc- 

 tion of good coffee as caref uUy as the true artist studies the effects 

 necessary for the production of a perfect picture. 



This is a great country for long names. I thought, when I 

 arrived in Hong-Kong and read some of the names on the signs 

 of the Parsee merchants there, that I had reached the limit iii this 

 respect ; but I am now convinced that Ceylon can take the palm. 

 If I should spell out and send you, detached from other matter, 

 some of the names which I see here, you would certainly think 

 that I was exaggerating ; so I have cut from to-day's Ceylon Times 

 an advertisement of an official sale.
