How 10 Detect Adulterated CosF, 9.

Ground coffee affords field for adul-
teration, and for this purpose chiccory,
carrots, caramel, date seeds, etc, are the
substances most commonly used. The
beans have of late years been skillfllly
initiated, but as coffee is mostly pur-
chased in the ground condition, the chief
point for the consumer is to be able to
form some idea as to the character or
the latter article, and the following is a
few simple and reliable tests: Take
little Of the coffee and press il between
the fingers, or give it q squeeze In the
paper in which it is bought If genuine,
It will not form a coherent mass, as c0f-
fee grains are hard and do not readily
adhere to each other but If the grains
stick to each other and form sort e.
"cake," we may be pretty sure Of adul
teration in the shape OF chiccory, for the
grains Of chiccory are softer and more
open, and adhere without difficulty when
squeezed. Again, if we place few grains
in a saucer and moisten them with lit
tie cold water, chiccory will quickly
become soft like bread crumbs, while
coffee will take long time to soften.
A third test: Take wine-glass or
tumbler full of water and gently drop a
pinch Of the ground coffee on the
surface Of the water without stirring or
agitating genuine coffee will float for,
some time, whilst ,chiccory or any soft
root viii soon sink and chiccory or car
amel will cause a yellowish or brownish
color to ditfuse rapidly through the
water, while pure coffee viii give no
sensible tint under such circumstances
for q considerable length of time. "Cof-
fee mixtures" or ''coffee improvers'
should be avoided. They seldom con-
sist Of anything but chiccory and cara
mel. ''French Coffee" 50 widely used
at present, is generally ground coffee.
the beans Of which have been roasted
with certain amount of sugar, which,
coating over the bean, has retained
more of the original aroma than in ordi-
nary coffee, but this, Of course, at the
expense Of the reduced percentage OF

A Poor Opinion of the English Army.

Major-General Synge, of the British
army, who is now in New York, in con-
yersation with reporter was very en-
phatic in the expression of his opinions
as to the forlorn condition of the British
army. He said that the men were of
light weight and understood, and that
the impression seemed to prevail that
one man was as good as another for a
soldier. There was no unity Of feeling
between the officers and men, while the
pie standard of the troops was much
lower than formerly. Ever since the
adjustment of the Duke of Yelling
toms rule, or perhaps since the Crimean
war, the English army had deteriorated.
At present such deplorable state of
things existed that the officers were
frequently made to appear ridiculous.
The war with the Beers had been con
Quoted in most scandalous way. Eng
lish officers and men being murdered
under flag of truce, and this almost
with the conniyance of English states
men. The condition of Ireland being
referred to, the general said sThe late
administration warned the present one
that there would be trouble if the
peace act was repealed, but to no
avail. The act was repealed the in
habitants Immediately armed them
selves, and now the British government
has sent over troops to shoot down the
inhabitants that it has been the means
of arming."

a Mail Carriers Adventure.

"Geyser," writing from Fire Hole Ba-
sin, gives the following account of an
encounter between Stephen Hall, one
of the mail-carriers, and a cougar /;
"While Hall was on his way from Nam
moth Hot Springs to Gibbon Station he
was attacked, near Obsidian Cliff, by a
large cougar. He had crossed the cor
duroy between the cliff and the lake
when he heard noise to the left Of
him, and looking up saw the monstrous
animal in the act Of springing down
upon him. Drawing his knife-the
only weapon he had-he dropped upon
his knees just as the animal jumped,
and the infuriated animal missed its
aim and went clear over him, Hall
plunging his knife in its body as it
passed. The force Of Halls blow and
the animals spring was so great that
both were precipitated over the CLASSY
debris and into the lake. Both struck
the water at the same time, and then q
terrific cor bat began. The water was
up to Halls armpits, and the beast had
to fight swimming. 1t made plunge
at its antagonist and succeeded in catch
ing him by the left arm. Hall used his
knife as rapidly as possible, bat failing
to loosen the animals hold upon his
arm. dived to the bottom Of the lake,
and both went down together. The
cougar then let go, and coming to the
top of the water saw the mail-sack
which had come off Halls back in the
struggle. Doubtless imagining the
sack was it's prey, the animal seized it
in its mouth and struck for the shore.
As soon as he saw what was going on
Hall started after the cougar, which he
caught by the tail just as it was about
to land, and pulling it back into the
water plunged his knife into its heart
Harry Yount, the gamekeeper, better
known as Rocky Mountain Harry, who
went over to see the cougar that Hall
killed, says that he has hunted in the
mountains for over twenty years and
says this is the largest animal of the
kind he ever saw. MI. Halls arm was
badly chewed up between the wrist and
elbow, but his injuries, though severe,
were not serious, and he has recovered
sufficiently to be again on duty. He
says, however, he doesn't want any
more cougarin Installation (Montdnd)

Cnrinsitias M Earth

At the city Of Medina, in Italy, and
about four miles around it, wherever
the earth is dug, when the workman
arrive at distance of sixty-three feet,
they come to bed of chalk, which they
bore with an augur, five feet deep.
They then withdraw from the pit before
the augur is removed, and upon it's ex-
traction the water bursts up through
the aperture with great violence, and
quickly fills the newly made well, which
continues full and is affected neither by
rains nor drought. But what is the
most remarkable in this operation is the
layer of earth as we descend. At the
depth of fourteen feet are found the
ruins of an ancient city, paved streets,
houses, floors, and different pieces of
mason work. Under this is found
soft, oozy earth, made up of vegetables,
and at twenty-six feet large trees, with
the walnuts still sticking to the stem,
and the leaves and branches in perfect
state Of preservation. At twenty-eight
feet deep a soft chalk is found, mixed
with vast quantity of shells, and the
bed is two feet thick. Under this vege
tables are found again.

A Typical New Mexican.

Western towns are most often deficient
in the striking characteristics one ex-
poets, but in the matter Of typical
frontiersman Santa Fe possesses a citi-
zen who might have sat for the pictures
of Bret Harte's and Joaquin Miller's
dashing heroes. He came strolling into
the postofice the other morning, says
q correspondent, both hands in his
pockets and his elbows sweeping a
clear space through the gathered idlers.
As town celebrity every one knows him
and the least question will bring out
more and more piquant bits of history.
With unusual interest I looked at the
small man and slowly took in the details
Of his costume. Top boots, trousers, q
blue flannel shirt and loose coat were
ordinary enough, but his head was sur
mounted with gray sombrero that in
width of brim has never been equaled
save by the pretty chorus singers OF
"Pinafore" and the PIRATES" The hat
sat back on his head until the brim
covered his shoulders, and the cord and
ornaments Of the crown, being Of solid
gold wire and spangles. brings the value
Of this extravagalt headgear up to $3.50.
Neither Aimee and Georgette, Virot OF
the other concocters of French bonnets
ever sent out a spring bonnet that
equaled this sombrero in price. He
wore careless knotted necktie and row
Of big gold nuggets for shirt-studs, and
below them swung watch-chain com
posed Of gold coins ranging from the
largest slugs and $40 pieces down to an
insignificant $3.50 coin. The watch al
the end of the chain is heavy enough tc
use for weapon, with its massive cases
of gold. This walking gold mine car
ries off all his magnifcence with the
most Indifferent and half-contemptuous
air. On occasion he is said to be capa.
BILE of even more gorgeousness and
when this show figure of Santa Fe il
mounted on little black horse, rattline
with all the silver and blazing with al
the wrought colors Of Mexican trap
pings, it is enough to dazzle one. With
huge silver spurs, an embroidered buck
skin suit, belt full of silver-mounted
weapons and fringed and embroidered
blanket strapped to the saddle, he slat.
ters through these narrow streets quite
as the wild Western heroes do in novels
By profession he is a gentleman and
amuses himself, as the less literally

by chasing the flying hours and dull
care over green tables.

A Bridegroom's Superstition.

Among the Mari savages of India, if a
young man wants to marry, his father
takes with him some friends, and they
set out toward the house indicated by
The youth. If they hear bird chirping
by the way they return dismayed; it
is bad omen. If they meet hare or a
squirrel, wild boar or mountain cat,
it is likewise an evil omen. But if they
meet stag or bullock, buffalo or q
young maiden, it issa good omen, and
they 60 on their way rejoicing. The
chirping of the bird, the innocent cat or
hare, wild boar or squirrel, may make
two fond hearts disconsolate for, once
abandoned, search in that direction
again for wife would be profanity. So
full are their lives of superstitious fears,
SO great is the amount Of misery caused
all over the world by those woes which
we fancy only, but which may never hap
penl The wealthier abodes Of London
and Paris are nearly as full Of this su-
persSitious reverence for fashionable
caprice as the lowly families Of the
Maris for the rude traditions OF the
Jungle.

Sunshine and Shadow.

Only bank Of weeds, Of simple weeds,
Of sweet wild thyme and yellow, scented
broom,
Of tangled grass, and Slender wind blown
reeds,
or brown notched ferns and tall spNked fox
glove bloom,
And yet world OF beauty gamers there,
Low-twittering birds, soft scents and colors
fair
Only narrow mound, a long, Low mound,
Snow covered, meath wintry leaden sky,
Unlit by moon or stars; and ali around
Through bare, brown trees the night winds
moan and sigh.
And yet world Of love lies buried there.
Passion and pain, bright hopes and duu de-
spair.
Oh, golden bsnE, whore sunbeams CLINT and
Bloom out in fragrance with hundred
flowers
Oh, narrow mound, keep till the Judgment day
The mournful secrets OF these hearts Of
ours
Then in Gods light let joy and sorrow fade,
For near His brightness both alike are shade.
