to New York Telegram reporter" is en-
abled to make up for city dullness in
business. The sales at Long Branch
have been uncommonly large. The other
branches, located at Pittsield, Mass. ,and
at New Loudon, Conn., are stocked with
the same varieties of fancy articles.
The work of greatest consequence with
the association in town is in the cake and
preserve department, with orders for
fruit preserving given by ladies
before leaving for the season. As the
different varieties of fruit come inte
market the work is carried on by large
number of persons. About two hundred
. are represented in this single depart
ment.
AS now extended this class of arrange
ments, including lunch, requires the a d
of five young women at the rooms. A
large amount of cake is sent during the

tant localities in the Adirondacks.

Coffee Making a Fine Art.

To make a really good cup of coffee
has always been ranked among the fine
arts, requiring considerable skill and ex-
pericnce. So much so, IN fact, that
many persons have tor q lifetime put up
with a decoction that is coffee only in
name. With proper appliances it Is not
at all difficult to make the very best cup
of coffee. In boiling coffee we lose all
the delicate favors contained in the
berry, and. bring out all the noxiouS
qualities and bitter oils that tend to
make consumers dyspeptic and billoue.
A native of any of the countries wher
coffee is grown would ridicu,e and pu-
away in ndisgust what the average Ameri
can has grown accustomed to as his morn :
ing beverage. In Brazil, Ceylon or Jaye
after roasting the coffee it is ground to,
fine powder, and instead of boiling, yer.
hot water is poured through it and I'll
tered. This gives beautifully cleaT.
and pure cup of coffee, without any bit
ter or pungent taste. BY grinding the
coffee very fine double the strength ],
obtained, making the same quantity of
coffee go twice as for as by the old
fashioned way. There is no waste in the
coffee grounds, every available part OF
the coffee being used, and all the food
properties and delicate favors thorough
~ extracted. To prevent the fine
grounds from getting into the liquid
coffee special fabric filter IS absolutely
necessary, as no perforated metal filter
can be made fine enough to prevent the
grounds from getting through. .-NeU

The Saint Augustine Department:

great good fortune that has fallen to our
lot, and even more so TO know Just how
to utilize it. Some are inclined to sit
still and let the bal roll on, confident
that in some way they viii escape being
run over. Some are willing to do their
part, but do not see far enough in the
future to know what to do, while still
others realize that they have great
work on hand. and to keep up with the
car of progress they must employ the
best qualities they possess. To the man
who can grasp the situation the possibiii-
ties are very great, and his earnest in

and with public spirit seek the greatest

of primary importance at such a time
as this. And how can this desidera
tum be attained? Dr. Westcott. in his
able dispositions, published in the papers
recently, has shown that drainage
must be promptly attended to or an cpl
demic is almost absolutely sure to max e
itself known. How then can we as a
city, densely populated, escape without
a good system of sewers: Truly our
great prosperity may turn to be a curse
if we fail in our duty. But says one,
1.-The city has no money" a city hav-
ing five millions invested in real prop
erty and no money. The proposition is
preposterous. ''But the laws prevent
our raising or expanding larger sum.
Then why in the name of common sense
may not the laws be changed: Here is
one of the needs of the city. Men who
have the will and the ability to provide
thorough system of drainage.
Next in importance should come the
improvement of the streets. No city
ever prospered long at a time that neg
looted to provide easy means of locomo-
ton. How much depends on this is seen
when one of two streets is paved and
the other left without it. Immediately

A Trim to the Beach.

Through the courtesy of Mr.. j. A.
Davis, secretary of the st. Augustine
and South Beach Railway, your cores
pondent, poor newspaper man-poor,
of course, for whoever heard of quill
driver being anything else?-was en-
abled TO take jaunt over to the beach,
to gather shells by the sea shore, see the
rolling surf and hear the giant breakers
dashing eeaselessly on the strand.
A short walk down to the dock brings
you to the ferry boat Myth, a trim little
steam yacht that leaves regularly every
hour on week days and half hourly on
Sundays. FIVE minutes will land you
safely on the company's railway dock on
Anastasia Island.
The tiniest little locomotive and neatest
passenger coach awaits you there, ''all
aboard, shouts the conductor, toot of
the whistle, a ngle of the bell and away
you go to the light house.
1t is only mile and half and before
you know it, the whistle toots again, the
brakeman turns the crank and you stop
opposite the new hotel, stones throw
from the beach, and about two hundred
yards from the light house.
The party separated, some going to
the beach, some TO the light house, and
others looked around to see the improve
ments.
The beach is strewn for miles with
bales of hay, boxes, spars and pieces of
timber from the wreck of the Hickman
that went ashore on the bar about a
week ago.
The heavy blocks of coquina remain
ing from the ruins of the old light house
that was washed down several years age
are piled up on the shore. The new
light house is several hundred yards
from the beach and from its substantial
looI is likely to last as long as the pyra-
mids.
The new hotel is being pushed as
rapidly as possible and will be ready fol
the reception of guests in about two OF
three weeks.
Workmen were engaged grubhing out
streets on the island and lots are Offered
for sale at reasonable prices.
Several new cottages have been put w
and more have been contracted for.
A trip to the beach will afford pleasure
for whole day and if you miss it, you
will deprive yourself of one of the CHIEF
delights of visit to st. Augustine.
