A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE,

Thil ty-six years ago there appeared
in the New York Eueni,ag Post short
letter signed "An Old Man." showing
how to make a good cup of coffee
One of his statements was that the coffee
ground in an old mill made better cof-
fee than when ground in a new mill !;
the older the mill the better. But he
did not give the why Of the fact; for
it is a fact. And so on-sensib.e read
ers would dismiss the thing as but an
old mans fancy. An old mill brushes
the berry, while new mill cuts it.
The crushing of the berry releases that
which gives out the aroma; the cutting
does not do that. In the East Turkey,
etc the coffee is bruised to an i'm
palpable powder in a mortar-thus re-
leasing all the essential oil in the
berry. To get the highest pleasure
from tea and coffee take each only once
day.

watched, with admiration, the display
OF skill and strength which the driver
used to subdue the maddened steeds.
Suddenly one of the reins snapped in
two, and the horses veered slightly. In
an instant the carriage was upset and
the occupants thrown to the ground.
Lulu was stunned for moment, and
upon recovering herself found that she
had been thrown upon the driver, and
thus been saved serious injury; while
he lay insensible with an ugly cash
In his forehead from stone, which his
head had come in contact with when he
fell.
Lulu stanched the blood with her
handkerchief and carefully bandaged
his head. Then she made successful
attempt to restore him to conscious
ness by the use of sal volatile, which
she CHANGED to have with her.
Davis opened his eyes at last, much
to her relief

he attempted to arise, but groan of
pain escaped him, and he fell back half
fainting, as he exclaimed "My leg is

But you suffer, and the delay may

you return the love which you must

once again, darling, and do not let
pride influence you against me because
of my mental position.

Lincoln OIL Jefferson.

George N. Stroat of Nebraska City
has an autograph letter written b.
Abraham Lincoln in 1859. 1t is an
answer to an invitation to attend ban
quet in Boston on the anniversary of
the birth of Thomas Jefferson. The
letter concludes with the following
tribute to the author of the immortal
Declaration of Independence:
"All honor to Jefferson, to the man
who, in the concrete pressure of a
struggle for independence b. a single
people, had the GOODNESS, forecast and
capacity to introduce into m,r.ly
revolutionary document an abstract
truth, applicable TO all men and all
times, and so to embalm l. there that
to-day and in all coming days it sh,l
be rebuke and stumbling BIO tx to
the harbingers of reappe lring tyranny
and oppression"

An Old Story Revised,

They do things decorously when
they can up in Winnipeg. A Lord
Bishop from the Canadian Dominion
visited ore of the Established Church
magnatcs there recently, and was
treated with high ceremony. His
grace was late at breakfast one morn
ing, and the rector's wife, becoming
uneasy, instructed her maid of-all-
as follows: $50 up to his grace's
door, Bridget, and knock gently, and
when the Bishop answers, say slowly
and quietly, just as 1 do: My lord,
breakfast waits!" The hostess lis
tened, and heard Bridget's clump,
clump, clump upon the stairs. Then a
brawny bang upon the Bishops door,
and the following:
Bishop gently from inside)-What
is it?
Bridget loudly from outside)-My

HINTS TO YOUNG HOUSEWIVES.

Hartshorn will usually restore colors
that have been taken out by acid
Many persons prefer almond meal or
oatmeal to soap for washing face and
hands.
To take out ink or iron-mold stains
from white goods wet with milk and
cover with salt.
For roughness, caused by exposure
to wind, sponge the face with equal
parts of brandy and rosewater.
Chloride of lime is an infallible pre-
ventive for rats, az they flee from its
odor as from pes.ilence.
The rooms of u house need ventila-
ton in the daytime as well as in the
night, and in the winter as we'll as in
the summer.
Casters made of leather are new in
vention, sure to prove useful. A sound
leather caster will save many rug or
carpet.
For stains on the hands nothing is
better than salt, with enough lemon
juice to moisten it, rubbed on the spot,
and then rubbed off with clean water.
1t is well to remember that blouses
of washing silk must be ironed always
on the wrong side, and care taken that
the iron be warm rather than hot.
Newspapers are the best thing for
cleaning lamp chimneys. Put the
least bit of kerosene on q piece when
filling the lamp, then rub the chimneys
until they shine.

indeed, and no better opportunity than
this will ever offer itself for me to win

Arriving at the stables, Davis, as he
was styled by his employer, made
friends with the horses intrusted to
his care, and, Observation-Disclosures
as well as he did, soon had them under
perfect control.
Mr.. Malcolm congratulated himself
more and more each succeeding day
upon the acquisition of such valuable
servant, for, as far as he could learn,
this man did not seem to have single
one of the petty vices common among
that class of men. When he had fin
ished his duties for the day, he would
take n book, and, straying away from
the other servants to a large grape
arbor that was on the side of the
house near the MUSHROOM, where Lulu
spent much of her time, he would soon
appear to be deeply engrossed with his
reading.
One day Miss Malcolm, strolling
through the arbor, came upon Davis
as he sat porting over his book. When
he became aware of her presence. he
arose hastily, and in doing so dropped
his book, which fell at her feet before
he had time to recover it. She was as
ton shed to see that it was standard

A BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION.

To obtain beautiful skin, one must
diet properly. Butter, fat meat, and
greasy food of every kind must be
avoided. Coffee and tea must be given
up, so must claret and all kinds of
wine, and milk or lemonade substitu-
ted. Fruits and vegetables should be
eaten in abundance, rich candies and
cake avoided; pie never should be
touched, and pickles and acid food
generally dispensed with. A woman
who follows the above rules will find
that the skin will become smooth and
clear after several months have passed.
Of course the dieting must be thor
ough and careful. No improvement
can be made unless it is.
