Modern Coffee.

Cofee.drinkers will read with interest
some observations made by the principal
Of the inland revenue laboratory, in his
annual report just printed, relative to an
ingenious method of adulterating that
article which has lately been discovered.
Owing to the ease with which roasted
vegetable matter can be prepared go as
to look like coffee, substitutes for, or
authorizations of it, are frequent. The
substance most recently detected as an
adulterant is date. stones, which, after
being roasted and ground, form such an
imitation of coffee as would, when mixed
with the genuine article, readily deceive
the consumer. The early detection and
suppression of this mode of adulteratlon
were effected by the inland revenue
authorities at Somerset House, in conse-
quence of information sent by a super
visor at Liverpool that many tons of
date-stones, refuse from the manufac-
ture of spirits at one of the distilleries
there, and which had up to that time
been considered useless, were being
bought by foreign gentleman to be sent
to Manchester, and believed to be in.
tended as an adulterant of coffee. The
inquiry made led to the discovery that
mandatory had been started in Man.
chester for the preparation Of Melilo-
tine Coffee" compound in about equal
proportions of coffee, chicory and date
stones. A seizure has since been made
there of about seven tons of Melilotine
coffee" and of the prepared date-stones.
The mandatory had barely got into
working order, and the "Melilotine
coffee " had been sent into consumption.

About two centuries ago an idea

roy of Charles H., having in vain en-
deavored to procure one, it occurred to
Thornton, a worthless fellow by all &C.
count, that he could, by little ingenu.
ity, crafty his grace and serve himself
at the same time. He got q Matthews
bible dated M. D. XXXVII, and by
careful manipulation he erased the
XVII, thus leaving the date 1920 in
stead of of 1915 years earlier than
the oldest English bible extant, that of
the Coverdale. Not content with this
daring imposition, he in a similar man
ner rubbed out the word "servaunte I"
in Romans i: l, and substituted
"kneawe," made up Of letters cut from
other parts of the volume, so that the
verse read "Paul, kneawe of Jesus
Christ" instead of "Paul, servaunte
of Jesus Christi The book thus multi
ated was taken to the duke, who gave
him II guineas for it. (Lewis' History
of TRANSACTIONS, p. Az Although the
mark of the razure was very visible"
Lauderdale was apparently pleased with
his unique photographed treasure, and
had his arms and coronet stamped on
both sides. How the forgery was dis
covered is not mentioned; but DIR. Eadle
remarks that a volume said to be the
identical copy was sold at a book sale in
London in 1865. Hence its being some
times called the "Knave Bible" which
designation, in more senses than one, it
certainly deserves.-Ch1mber's Journal.

man. Here is one that would as TT q
medieval saint, and also from Lawson.
1t must be borne in mind that the street
before the Grasshopper (that is 68) was
then used as the Burse for London,
which is not unlikely. Gresham, trad
ing to the East Indies, by which he is
reported to have made much money, at
one time was disconnected by the non
arrival of some ships, which, it is al
legged, had caused him much embarrass-
ment. While despondingly walking in
Lombard street a sailor came up to him
and presented a letter, which conveyed
the joyful intelligence that two of the
ships had arrived, and that the box the
bearer would deliver contained some dia-
monds and pearls of great value as a
sample of the riches the ships had brought
home. Perhaps it was large pearl out
of this box or out of the tw" ships which
figured in the other tale. After getting
the good news on the Burse, Gresham
could do DO better than found at his
own cost an exchange, laying the first
stone on June 18th, 1866. And on Jan.
uary 23d, 1871, it was opened by Queen
Elizabeth. The Queens Majesty, at
tended by her nobility, entered the Burse
on the south side, and after she had
viewed every part thereof, and seen a
kind of industrial exhibition of all sorts
of the finest wares in the city, she
caused the same Burse by herald and
trumpet to be proclaimed "The Royal
Exchange" and so to be called thence
forth and not otherwise, and so it has
been.-L0ndon Society.

This Sarsaparilla is combination of

of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure
Its ingredients are SO skilfully COM

each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children. it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-

of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting it's virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are

chat he was SO enamored Of republican
institutions, he desired by will that his
body should be tlayed, and the skin thus
taken from him tanned. Of the tough
ened integument two drums were to be
made; and he further bequeathed sum
of money, to be paid annually to a per-
son who was to proceed to the top Of
Bunker Hill on every Fourth of July,
and there beat tattoo ON one of these
drums. Probably the most Enthusiastically
contrived instrument to utilize the body
of a testator is recorded by DR.. Forbes

in love, determined to commit suicide.
Previous to carrying his design into
effect, he wrote letter to the lady who
had killed him. In another document
he noted his last wishes, which he de-
sired should be scrupulously adhered to.
His corpse was to be taken, boiled down,
and the fat extracted. Out of this a
candle was to be made, and presented to
the subject of his misplaced affections, in
order that she might read his commune
cation by the light provided from his
own body.

A War of Words.

Recently Professor Stewart went into
the Delmonico and asked Andy, the IRE
pressible head steward, to bring him
some stuffed mutton and parsnips. No
sooner had the professor fairly seated
himself at one of the small tables than
a book agent came in and took the other
side of the board. The two men were
strangers; but as matter of course the
book-peddler couldn't keep still, and
presently made some conversational ad-
vance to Stewart.

turbances somewhat peculiar for these
latitudes?"
The professor paused I moment, as he
was MASKING a potato, and replied:
"Guess it's about the same thing
every year."
"In seasons of atmospheric depression,
alternating with unexpected boreal ex-
elements and rapid changes, resultant
on sudden accumulations of moisture,
such dispositions of the storm-belt are
not, in my opinion entirely uncalled
for"
Exactly!" remarked the professor,
lifting fly out of his coffee.
"But," continued the agent, delighted
at the style in which he was crowding
the professor, II doubt not but that
certain energetic polarizations of the
molecules in the mineral deposits have
an attraction for the acknowledgement

At these points the professor, who had
been knocked around the ring and
crowded to the ropes, so to speak, be.
came fairly reused to his position, and
slogqed for the others nose at once in
the following style:
"Ahl Exactly, my friend! In the

found in volcanic matrices, and disin-
tegrated by the upheaval of .plutonic
rock and semi-fused masses Of silicious
alumina, mingled with homogeneous de.

is most effected along the line of the

A Polish Mountain Village.

1t reminded rs of the lower parts of
the Yorkshire falls, or the outskirts of
Scottish highlands, with grass just as
green, and a profusion, even in August,
of ferns and wild-fowers. The roads
were almost covered with gayly dressed
peasants vending their way to church or
market; some in wagons like our own,
but the greater number in long process
sions, thirty or forty strong, which
moved along in loose array, generally
preceded by priest or two with atten-
dants carrying banners. Many of them
were singing, and the sound of the
hymns rising through the still air, and
often heard before the companies came
in sig ht, lent an additional charm to the
scene. Toward noon we ratified into the
market-place of the town, where our
driver meant to take his midday halt.
It is called Myslenica-a struggling place
of perhaps 1900 inhabitants, built, like
all Polish villages, round big, irregular,
open space, which seems the larger be-
cause the houses are so low. The whole
population of the district seemed to
have poured in. The large church was
crowded to sufocation; and in the walled
Enclosure which surrounded it hundreds
were sitting on the grass, the men on one
side, the women and children on another,
waiting till their turn should come to en-
ter; some praying or reading their books
of devotion, and all perfectly still and
silent. Such picture Of devotion we
had never seen; and doubt if even Ire
land is so profoundly and earnestly
Catholic as Galicia. The shrines and
crosses along the roads are more numer-
Gus than anywhere else in Europe-cer-
tainly' more so than Spain, France, or
even Tyrol-and nobody passes the
smallest Of them without taking off his
hat. It was pleasant to notice how we'll
these simple peasants we're dressed, how
happy and cheerful they looked. Though
their houses are rough enough, they are
not squalid; there is a general air Of
primitive comfort. The impression of
melancholy one gets in Krakow is not
felt in the country parts OF Galicia,
where the peasantry are as we'll off as
they have ever been, and far better than
in the not very distant days of serfdom.
Now they have fxity of tenure and i'm.
munity from forced labor. Politics they
never knew or cared about, for ali the
Polish risings w:re the work of the mobiles
and the townsfolk. Even in Russian
Poland the peasants took but little part
in the last two struggles; and as every
body knows, they were sometimes actuss
ally hostile to the insurgents. They are
a good-looking people, these Galicians:
the men tall and we'll made; the women
with plenty Of color and fine eyes,
though the hard toll of the field soon
tells upon them; and their looks are set
off by a picturesque costume, gayly
striped petticoats, and bright red or blue
handkerchiefs tied over the head. We
wondered to see no Jewish faces, and
fancied their might be none; but STUN
bling upon school full of Jewish boys,
perceived that here, too, the Jewish ele-
ment was present, though of course it
did not figure in the crowd of church
goers.-C0rnhll Magazine.
