Returns published in the London Economist reveal the singular fact that the consumption of coffee in England has declined during the last four years from 309,000 cwt to 285,000 cwt which allows considerably less than one pound per capita annually, as against more than five pounds of tea. The annual consumption per capita in Prance is 3slb; in Germany, slb; in the Scandinavian countries, 61b; and the United States, 811 b ; and in Belgium, 91b. The Nice Journal continues to report further tragedies both at Nice and Monte Carlo. In a recent issue it stated that a rich stranger had blown out his brains at the Hotel de Paris, after having lost all his fortune at play. On Jan. 13 it records the case of a commercial clerk at Nice who, from a similar cause, put an end to his life by shooting himself through the head. On the same day a man committed suicide behind the Hotel de Londres at [Monte Carlo.
