Rye Coffee.

We have still a tolerably vivid impress
sion Of the "haId times which followed
the financial crisis of 1917, and continued,
at least until 1920. and most especially the
advent of rye coffee. Roasted rye was
brought by the merchants from Philadel-
phia and Baltimore by the barrel, and
more or less of it was consumed by almost
everybody. Tt became, in a measure, q
standard Of financial ability, if not of re-
spectability. There were probably few
in the community who did Lot use it at
all; but many used oneqaarter, ope-half or
three.quarters rye; but the larger number,
the pure unmixed rye. 1t was "wretched
stuff, and many persons could not or
would not become accustomed to it, others
preferred water. OF course, roasted chest
nuts. in some instances acorns even, and
chicory, were used as substitutes.
Finally species of sorghum was intro
duced, commonly called chocolate corn"
and soon many poor families bad their
patch of chocolate corn. 1t had short,
compact head and produced round seeds,
something like millet seeds, o.ly much
larger. These seeds, when roasted and
ground, produced beverage that in looks,
| taste and smell approximated the common
chocolate Of commerce. II soon became
popular and displaced the obnoxious rye.
At that time no one thought OF making
sugar out of the juice which the canes
yielded, and hence when good times" re-
turned, this sorghum was brushed aside
and was only reintrodueed many years
thereafter for its saccharine qualities. This
has been so lopg ago that we cannot say
positively that the chocolate corn of that
period WIS the same species as that now
cultivated for sugar. There are many va
rieties OF sorghum, under various names.
all of which yield more or less saccharine
matter and, therefore, the people of the
early DAYS alluded to missed the opportu-
nifty of making provision for foreign sugar
at the same time they were supplying the
place OF foreign coffee.-American Notes and
Queries

THE OLDEST CHURCH.
The First in This Country Erected by
English-Speakipg People.


About 200 miles south of the city Of
Washington, in the county of Isle of
Wight, Va, stands the Oldest building
erected on this continent by English
speaking people. says the Washington
Star 1. is built entirely of brick and called
st. Lukes'' and Old Smithfield Church, !"
while its historic name is THE Brick
Church."
This venerable church was built in 1852,
leo years before Washington was born and
only twelve years after the landing of the
Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. The antiquity
is proven by two deeply marked date
bricks that came down with the east wall
in the year 1887, when the original top fell
in.
The church having been abandoned as a
house of worship in 1886, in the year 1885
Rev. David Barr, then rector of the church
at Smithfield, Va, and row the assistant
minister of the Church of the Epiphany,
Washington, ID. c., undertook the work of
hav:rg the old church put in perfect and
complete order.

nave windows and the vestry room win

Virginia colony. Whitaker baptized
Pocahontas and married her to Rolfe.
The first roof was put on the church in
1888, the second in 1877, and the third
about 1921, and the present new one in
1887.

tify, Just as a lady's may. I was quite
disillusioned the other dsy to read that
Lord Byron was once caught in bed in the
morning with his hair in curl papers. But
all the same, as he had time to attend 10
such frivolity, am sure he acted we'll in
giving pleasure to those who saw him.
For, whether natural or not, Byron's hair
went far to add to his comeliness.
Another feature which added to mans
attractiveness in evening dress in the days
of 1872 and thereabouts were the knee
breeches," said my friend. MANY a man
has fne form without havinga handsome
face, and fine physique is certainly well
shown eff in such dress, besides following
in outline the natural curves of the lower
limbs. Our recent revival of old.time
features in dress will probably serve to es-
tablish more shapely trousers. especially
for evening wear, than we have been used
to. A garment following the line of the
figure is quite as suitable and graceful for
men as for women, and as the former have
instituted themselves most grave critics
and arbiters where womeus dress is con-
cerned, we feel no overwhelming timiditv
about reminding them of such ugly features
in their attire as obtrude themselves upon
us.
About 1880 the trousers were worn long.
Some were strapped down under the in
step. They were either closely fitted to the
limbs or had lose fronts, which were
plated beneath the waistcoat. They are
much more shapely than the loose panta.
looms, or those even which flare at the
bottom, unless the latter be shaped in at
the ankle.
1T was Washington Irving who once
wrote to an srtist, in 1920, requesting that
he should paint him in certain overcoat
with fur cape, a dress that has nothing
remarkable in it, but which merely avoids
any present fashion which might in few
years appear stupid We have all seen
that picture of Irving, concerning which
he added: Let the costume be simple and
picturesque Aud we all feel that it is so.
| am sure all the old portraits of gentle
men (who were at all Distinguished show
that they all considered what was artistic
snd tasteful in surroundings. attire and
attitude. l have seen good many cloaks
with capes worn by gentlemen this fail,
ard they certainly are too picturesque to
be relegated to the clerical fraternity, or
the old type of bohemian. A touch of fur
on mans coat is feast to the eyes, and
ought not to be confined to such men as
would be conspicuous. Fur is intrinsicelly
artistic, rich. and we'll suited for masculine
adornment and comfort"
