HOW TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE.
DIR. Cutters Improvement on Coun
Kumford's Plan.

DIR. Cutters Improvement Count
Rumford's Plan.
Coffee had been introduced into England
for about $50 years when Count Rumforu
wrote exhaustively on coffee-making. and
his text is crisp and fresh reading to-day.
lie used the porcelain or earthen coffee-pot
and perforated earthen strainer placed OIL
the top of the pot Hot water was poured
on and allowed 10 filter through.
An Improvement has been made on Count
RumfOrd's plan in substituting n cotton,
ton-fannel or flannel bag for his perf0r-
ated dlapragm OF earthenware, which
shortens the time needed to filter.
The best results are produced by having
the coffee ground extra fne while it is hot
and put in an alright receptacle When a
can of this ground coffee is opened its odnr
pervades the whole apartment. as the vola-
tile oil has not a chance to escape.
In Hayti they roast, grind and use their
coffee at once. But here are my rules:
First-Have the coffee good, fresh. ground
very fiue.
Second-Pour hot water into coffee-pot,
so as to heat it thoroughly before use.
Third-Put dor an ordinary family tea
spoonful of coffee prepared as above into
the bag placed at the top of the open-heated
pot.
Fourth-Pour on boiling water until n
sufficient amount of coffee is made. Renew
as required.
The process is one of displacement. such
as is used in pharmacy. 1t is wonderful
with what facility roasted coffee imparts its
virtues to boiling water. Probably no fruit
gives up its virtues SO rapidly. good Gun
of coffee can be made in one minute in this
way.
Surely people who have poor coffee are
without excuse when it can be made SO
quickly and simply.-Ephrailn Cutter, NJ d.,

Round the neck of the Holy Virgin of Al

whom new fine church is being built clost
TO the royal palace, very beautiful dia-
mond ring hangs on thin gold chain. The
ring belonged to the late King Alphonse
XII, and strange history is connected with
it, which may we'll appeal to the minds o..
the superstitious Spaniards. On the day o.
his wedding to Mercedes, the daughter OF
the Duke of Montpensier. the King gave
the ring to his bride. who wore 1t till her
early death. After the funeral the King
gave the ling to his grandmother, Queen
Christine, who died soon after. Infanta
Maria del Pillar. the sister of the King, then
became its possessor. She had worn il only
few days when she died. Then the ring
became the property of the King once more,
and he gave it to the sister of his late con-
sort, Princess Christina. the youngest daugh-
ter of the Duke of Montpensier. Three
months later che young girl was dead. Thr
King had now becom6 aware of the unlor-
tunare condolences, and instead of giving il
away he himself wore the ring till he also
went to his early grave.

Hnir AL Came Ont.

After Taking Bi-Chl bride of Gold His
Hair All Came Out.
1t is not often that man within twenty
four hours loses all the hair on his head and
his beard and his mustache. That is exactly
what happened, however, to Frank II. Smi-
ley, an indianapolis harness-maker.
He attributes all this to the effect of tax
ing bi-chloride OF gold, which is admins
tered at Plainfield where Kelley has a
branch institute for his now well-adyertised
remedy against drunkenness.
Mr. Smiley returned from Piainfield q
week ago after treatment for drunkenness.
While his appetite for drink had gone he
complains of being afflicted by most pecu-
liar sensations in the head. He said he had
a continual roaring In his head which threat
ened to drive him insane. At times his ears
rang as if twenty brass bands were playing
twenty different tunes at the same time
within his head.
a little girl climbed up on his lap Sunday,
and in the course of her playful endearment
fastened her little fingers in his long mus
tache. and without malice gave it jerk
which pulled out the hair from almost the
entire side of the lip,
This loss of hair, which was anaccompa-
MED by any disagreeable feeling, aston
ished the man, and he raised his hand to his
face and found that the rest of his mustache
was also ready to drop IF, which 1t did as
soon as he touched il. He rubbed his hand
over his face with surprise, and his eye
brows peeled off as if they had been stuck
on with paste. Then his eyelashes came
out, leaving his face quite bare.
Now thoroughly alarmed and fearing the
worst he put his hand up to his head and
pulled out several very good handfuls of
hair. lie went TO barber to Ret some
thing to preserve his hair, but it ali rubbed
off while he was being treated, and his head
is now as smooth as marble. with not a
sprig Of hair left. Accompanying his mar
yelous transformation there has come re-
lief from the agony which afflicted him for
week past.
He is so happy at being freq from the
raeking pain in his head that he is undecided
whether or not he shall sue the Kelley In
stitute for damages. His physician says
that all he has suffered is the result of an
overdose of bi-chIoride of gold.-Indianapo-
