About Coffee,

The pleasures OF coffee are by no means
dissipated in the warm weather, when
hot coffee" is not needed as a means of
defying the discomfort of cold weather.
Cold coffee is IA delicious beverage when
well made. Coffee ice made of strong
coffee frozen in q freezer, and served in
cups with whipped cream. is a dainty
dessert or a convenient part of the after
noon tea menu; coffee soda is peculiar
summer drink, and few people accls-
toned to the morning cup of coffee
make any difference on account Of the
weather in this most important feature
of the breakfast table. An expert in
coffee maintains that the best coffee is
made in the old fashioned tin coffee pot.
Don't give me any new patent arrange
ment for making Coffee" he says; "tha
old tin pot is the only kind of cooking
utensil that preserves the aroma and the
full flavor of the coffee"
After the coffee has been boiled and
settled pour it in good strength upon
cup half filled with cream and hot milk.
Most true coffee epicures have a bever-
age prepared with full strength that will
give delicious aroma and a true but
delicate flavor to a cup of rich cream
and boiled milk. Rather peculiarly the
average American drinks about the same
amount of coffee now that he did eigh.
teen years ago. In 1870 the average
consumption for each person was seven
and one-haIf pounds, in 1888 it was seven
and two-thirds pounds, showing that the
taste for coffee neither increases nor de-
creases. Boston journal.

DIR. TallnaSe,

When the last tabernacle was built,
DR.. Talmage was receiving u salary of
II$7 900 year, and his plan for the new
'edifce was considered SO pretentious that
lit was feared he could not fill it. He en-
tered into an agreement with the trustees,
which was, in effect, that if he did not
succeed in filling the tabernacle every
Sunday during the year, he would not
claim a cent of salary, His success was
$50 great that the huge ediice was abso
Iutely crowded at every service, AID his
salary was raised to $4,000 year.

A Rector and His Cluh.

The rector Of Gwaeuysgon, in Wales.
is d man Of more than ordinary energy
and enterprise. In an attempt to collect
the tithes due him, and which the peo-
pie are not disposed to pay, he headed a
party of bailiffs who were sent to protect
the aucticneer in an attempt to distrain.
The auctioneer had been driven off three
times while making similar attempts,
and when it became known that he pro-
posed again to enter the farms, assisted
by the bailiffs and the rector himself, a
large crowd, armed with sticks, assem-
Died and made desperate attack upon
the distinguished party. The rector
fought nobly in defense of his rights, and
with a heavy club, which he welded
with great dexterity, he felled four Of
his flock to the earth. The bailiffs, how
ever, showed less grit and fled with the
auctioneer from the field, so that the en-
terprising rector was forced to yield.
He now declares that he might as well
turn pirate out and out as attempt to col
lect the tithes due him from the stubborn
Welsh farmers. Letter.

As2o,OOo Palace Coach,

The "McGibcny Family" Palace Car is the
largest as well as the finest and best equipped
palace car in the country, being seventy four
feet in length, exceeding the length of the rcgu-
lar passenger coaches by over thirty feet, max
ing it nearly twice as long as an ordinary car
AS a consequence it rides easier and furnishes
ample room for thousand and one conyen-
fences.
The manner in which the builders could ar
range so many shelves, drawers and hooks fer
storage purposes in such a small space is a
mystery In addition to these convcnicnees,
there are sixteen bcrths and two state rooms,
This splendid travelling carriage is provided
throughout with electric call bells, and five ser
wants in attendance quickly supply every want.
At night, by means of electric lamns, the car
is made as light as day, and as it is heated b,
steam the tempe aturc is the same at all times
The ensemble of the outside is such a. to at
tract the admiration Of every beholder. As a
specimen of the perfection to which railroad cal
building has reached, it will take equal rani
with, il it does not excel, the finest Of the pri
waite cars Of the grent railroad magnates.
