Amongst the many new inventions on, the tapii, we
should not lose sight of those which come immediately within our
dally and indeed almost hourly wants. The ankles we now allude
to arc those of Cocoa Paste and prepared Chocolate Powdei, that
is the Cocoa and Choi*late Not manufactured by an entire new
and superior process, each of whiCh are so eicieditiously prepared
for use that less than one minute of time only is required to make
then into a most agreeable beverage. The great obstacle to the
more frequent use of both Cocoa and Chocolate has certainly arisen
from the difficulty of preparing them for table, and Families have
preferred the daily use of tea more from the simplicity of the Mode
of making it than from choice on account of its • virtues. The me-
thod of making the Cocoa Paste and Chocolate Powder ready Pbr
use is still more simple than Tea, for it ismerely required to put a
spoonful of either in your cup, pour the boiling water thereon, and
it is immediately ready for use, adding.milt and sugar to" your palate.
The Public 'are indebted• to the !setae of Diego): and Co. of the
Coffee*Mart, Skinner-street; London, for the improvements in 'the
mode of inaiiiifactOring Coooa'Paste anct,pripartd ChocOlate. Pow-'
der which, by their plan, will keep free frommould or turning musty
for any length of time. This. is a very desirable invention, and, we
hear, meets with great emeouragement from the Army and Navy,
Public Schools,.Collegoe, aad the. Inns of. qourt, tkrough which
channels w.e understand they are introduciog tAteir articles of Cocoa
Paste and prepared Chocolate Powder. "• • •
