Settling Coffee.

wants TO be know how handle it. Put your
ground coffee into the cofl'ee-pot add cold
water sufficient for use il but lew cups
are wanted. Set it on the stove and keen
there till the boiling point is reached. but
in no case boil. This requires some watch
ing toward the last. Better set of a few
moments before boiling than have it boil
up. Immediately when set off stir the
the surface with spoon. This can be done
two or three times in as many minutes
Then let it rest. Ia about ten min utes
time it will be all sunk to the bottom. and
lit to pour out. Where more than a few
cups are wanted, more water (hot) may
be added when the coffee-pot is removed
from the stove, or the hot water may be
used TO dilute the coffee when it is poured
out. as is sometimes done with tea. In
this way your coffee will be clear and
sparkling, and what is of equal impor-
lance. it will retain all its fine flavor and
exhilaratinZ properties, which, had it been
boiled, would have been thrown off, BE
particular in carrying out directions to
the letter. You will soon get the hang of
