How to Make Coffee.

An English cook writes on this SUBJ
ject: 1t Is not good policy TO purchase
coffee ready ground. but if it must be
done the supplies should be small
and frequent Anyone may test the
purity OF ground coffee by shaking a
little over Il tumbler of clear. BRIGHT.
cold water and leaving it for an hour
or so. Pure coffee communicates its
color TO water slowly, and when the
color has been impaired the infusion is
stiii bright and clear, and the color is
never deep. But chicory and other
adulterants quickly produce an opaque
and dark infusion. The difference is
so striking that for ordinary purposes Il
better test is not required. To place
good coffee on the table daily is
SIMPLE and inexpensive business. but it
can not be done at Il penny cup, as
some folks are in haste TO aver At for
l2d. 10 20d. per pound a good coffee in
berry is always obtainable, and 16
pence may at the present time be con-
sldered Il fair family price. 1t is best to
roast and grind as wanted. but the
grinding is the one important point,
because ground coffee quickly parts
with its aroma, and there is a great
charm.in having it made Immediately
from Tie mill. In some houses the
trouble of grinding is thought much of.
but. rs Il matter of fact, it is almost
nothing, and mill costing only a few
shillings will last lifetime. Coffee
should never be boiled; it should be
made with soft water at boiling heat.
but ii hard water must be used it should
not be made 10 boil until wanted. for
boiling augments its hardness. A conf
mon tall cotfte-pot will make as good
coffee as any patented invention, but
cGtet ere is a convenient thing. as it pro-
duces bright coffee in few minutes,
and thus enables us to secure q maxi
mum of the aroma and dispense with
the use OF anv rubbish called '.finings."
Every one to his taste, we will say, but
Is careless people make the coffee too
strong one day and too weak the next
the ground coffee and the boiling water
should be both measured, and it will
always take us much as four cups of
water to make three cups of coffee. For
the breakfast table the addition of
about one-eighth of chicory is an i'm
provement but for the dinner table
coffee should be made without chicorv,
because it dulls the piquant flavor of
the genuine article. Two points ia
coffee-making deter people from using
1.-THE trouble of grinding and the
boiling of the milk. The grinding.
however, must be done. and it is really
nothing. bur the boiling of the milk can
be advantageously evaded by using
Swiss milk. which harmonizes perfectly,
and by many well-trained palates. is
preferred to fresh milk heated.

what a House win Cost.

Whenever a man of moderate means

planned to meet individual requirements
and fashioned according to his own
taste. he is reminded both by cautious
and by envious neighbors OF this dis

pages of any standard Great Truths by
Great Authors, he will find recorded
such warnings as this: Newer build a
house after you are 45; have five years
income in hand before you lay brick.
and always calculate the expense n,
double the estimate" His acquaint-
ances, giving him the benefit OF their
own experience in building, will assure
him that the actual cost invariably over
laps the original estimates. If a candid
architect be consulted he will confess
that nobody can tell what a house will
cost until it is built. since there are un-
known quantities in the problem that
cannot be asceriained except by actual
experiment. Shrewd contractors will
