Morris tribune., 1886-12-22

Ing OF O somewhat lengthy ATCiclo AKA
an exchange. We don't believe any
one can learn to skate by reading
about it, aud the old way of cracking
the ice in a few places with your head
spraining an ankle, skinning an ell
bow. tearing your clothes aud bruis-
ing your self up generally, is the only
thing that will infuse the proper inn
petus and determination to win, into
the average admIrer of this port.

OF all the new places being started
on the new Minneapolis & Pacific
road, north of Glenwood. Wamborg,
in Grant county, seems to be most
promising. This new village is about
equally distant from Morris, Herman,
Evansville, Alexandria and Glen
wood and is centrally located in the
rich farming country surrounded by
the villages named above. In spite
of cold weather buildings are going
up rapidly and inside OF year Wanl-
borg will become an important BUSH
ness point.

The Scientific American says that |
roasted coffee is the last field of ad.
ulterators. The fraud in roasted and |
ground coffees has been so great that |
the people have about ceased their |
use. 1t was thought that there could
he no deceit used with the roasted |
berry and Of late years the business
of roasting coffee has grown to large
But even here their in
genuity has devised way of deceiv-
ing the public and you are no longer
certain that the bro wn berry In your
hands is a coffee bean because it looks
like one. The flour is made into q
paste and moulded into the shape of
a coffee bean and when baked brown
so closely resembles the berry that it
cannot be detected except by break
ing. The she'll of the cocoanut is also
burned and ground and mixed into a
paste, moulded into the forms Of spice
and cloves. These fraudulent imita-
tons are mixed with the genuine
article and sold.
