Coffee was discovered by dervise of Moka,
in the Yemen. and we are assured that this dis
covery was made in the year 656 OF the Heglra,
(I5o8.) This dervise, turned away from his
home, lived on mountain in the neighborhood.
Wishing to appease the hunger which devoured
him. he collected the fruits of bush which he
found growing everywhere, and having boiled
them found the drink agreeable. They add that
some Of his fraternity, visiting the exile, also
made trial of what lie told them was his only
nourishmenr. and that being equally well salts
