Coffee Lore.

Coffee comes to us laden with the fra
GRANGE OF Oriental bazars aud the ro-
nance of the Arabian Nights. Its early
history as an economic product is in
volved in considerable obscurity, the
absence of historical fact being compen-
stated Tor by an unusual profusion OF
coniectural statements, and by purely
mythical stories. Throwing legend aside,
the use of coffee seems to have been in.
troduced from Ethiopia into Persia from
the latter country at the beginning of
the fourteenth century. Notwithstand-
ing that its use as a beverage was pro-
hibited by the Koran, it spread rapidly
through the Mohammedan nation, and
it was publicly sold in Constantinople in
1854. 1t easily found its way from the
Leyant to Venice, where coffee houses
were established as early as 1913. A Jew
named Jacob opened the first coffee
house in England, selling it as a common
beverage at Ballot college, Oxford, in
the year when the Long parliament met.

IaManosn Table Etinuettc.

The usual dinner hours are 1, 6 and I.
AS soon as the guests are seated on the
mats. two, and sometimes three, small,
low lacquered tables are brought to each.
On that one Immediately in front of him
the guest finds seven little covered bowls
with next to his left hand) rice, next
his right fcrmentcd bean soup; the
others containing roast fish, roast fowl,
boiled meat, raw fish in vinegar, and
stew of vegetables. On the second table
will be five other bowls, consisting OF
two soups zone of carp, more raw fish,
fowl and kurage-a kind of jelly fish.
The third-a very small table should
hold three bowls, of baked shell fish,
lobster and fish soup. Except at great
rice; and here the etiquette is very strict
and as complicated as the old forfeit
game. "Heres a health to Cardinal
Puff" Take up the chopsticks with the
right hand, remove the cover of the rice
bowl with the same hand, transfer it to
The left and place it on the left of the
table. Then remove the cover of the
bean soup and place it on the rice cover
Next take up the rice bowl with the
right hand, pass it to the left, and eat
two mouthfuls with the chop
sticks, and then drink (the word
drink must be used here) once
from the soup-bowl. And so on with
the other dishes, never emitting to eat
some rice between each mouthful of
meat, fish, vegetable or soup. Rice
wine goes round from the beginning of
the meal. The most trivial breeches of
etiquette are objectionable sins, and they
are all gibbcted by special names. One
is drinking soup Immediately on recciv-
ing bowl of it, without first dcpositing
it on the table; another is hesitating
whether to drink soup or cat something
else; third is after eating of one dish
to begin on another without going back
to the rice. For cakes the guest must
be provided with pieces of paper ad
hoe. lie should pick up cake with
the chopsticks, place it in a piece of
paper, break it in two, and eat the right
piece first.
These minutip are nothing to those of
tea.drinkiug, or cha no yl, which prop
erly takes place at noon, and the ritual
of which was fixed by master of the
art who flourished in the middle of the
fifteenth century. 1t is far too serious
matter for the tail of an article. Indeed,
one sosho, or master in the polite arts,
goes so far as to lay down. as the essen
tialS OF a tea party, purley, peace, rev.
erence and detachment from all earthly
cares. "Without these, said this sage,
eve can never hope to have perfect
tea-party. ST. james Gazette.

A SrUBBDRN QUESTION.

The Idea Of preventing vast accumuiations
of wealth in the hands OF one man is being
broached. The increasing number of mil
lionaires in the country, aud in state legisa
lures and in the national legislature, and the
immense money influence which they exert
has started the enquiry as to the practicable
ity Of limiting accumulations in the hands Of
single individuals. Great landed estates are
deprecated, as well as great estates in various
stocks and other personal property. The
Rev. Howard Crosby, of New York has re-
Gently delivered himself on these points, sug-
gesting whether II is not important that wise
and impartial men should not study up aud
devise some plan for the Limitation OF exces-
sive personal wealth, for the sake of the cUun-
try's peace aud prosperity. He takes the
ground that limitation of personal wealth In
degree is as reasonable as Limitation iu kind.
TAe following is the gist of the Rev. Mr..
Crosby's argucment:
cannot keep dynamite In my house, cannot
sell gunpowder, cannot keep pigs IN my yard. |
cannot own cholera or smallpox rays | cannot
own rcktty house. In all these cases the Jaw
will punish me and take away my property
And justly, because ] am an injury TO the com
unity in holding It. Now il my holding an estate
that IL dangerous from It's vastness is forbidden
by aw. where is the injusticcg All that must
be proved is i,s danger.
The limitation OF personal wealth can
hardly reach the difficulties aimed at when
corporate wealth exists to such unlimited ex-
tent. Associated wealth in corporations en-
bracing.. almost uncounted millions, WELD
an overshadowing power aud influence
This associated wealth seems necessary to the
construction of railroads and other improve
meuts for the development of the iuduslri-
al interests Of the country. The vast cor
porate possessions existing give grave ap-
prehension 10 many thoughtful men. Their
influence It is alleged controls State legisla-
tton, and reaches, oftentimes far into the
National Legislature If it does not control It.
When u corporate power exceeds that OF
legislature aHd wields power greater than
that of the government there is no little
cause for anxiety as TO the eouutry's future.
A problem Of great difficulty is here pre-
sentcd for solution, and whether il can be
solved consistently with inherent rights,
peacefully, and with exact justice to all, is
a stubborn question to answer Socialists,
communists, dyuamiters and other carnal
spirits propose to lay the rough hand Of des-
tructiOn aud ruin on accumulated wealth
and its accumulatOrs, and this dsorderly
class present an impending danger. There
is little present prospect Of peaceful and
satisfactory solution of the problem present.

proper care should be omitted to guard
against the criminal action Of turbulent
men.
