SCIENTIFIC COFFEE MAKING.
Count Rumford's Plan Slightly Modified
Still Gives Best Results.

Count Rumford's Plan Slightly Modified
Still Gives Best Results.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Count Rumford was one of the foremost
scientists of his time. Coffee had been intro
duced into England for about $50 years when
Rumford wrote extensively on coffee making,
and his text is fresh and crisp reading to-day
He used the porcelain or earthen coffee pot
and perforated earthen strainer placed on
top of the pot. Hot water WAS poured on
and allowed to filter through. The common
French coffee pot carries out Count Rumford's
idea as to displacement, but Is far of as to the
material OF timed iron, which Rumford would
not use, as the tannate of iron and lead
(from the solder) is formed which the drinkers
admit into their bodies.
An improvement has been made on Count
Rumford In substituting a cotton, cotton
flannel, or flannel bag for his perforated dia-
phragm of earthenware, which abbreviates the
time needed to filter. The best pot for making
coffee Is one In which the pot Is earthen and
the bag, of cotton, is suspended at the top.
The best results are produced by having the
coffee ground extra fine while it is hot and
put In an air-tight receptacle. First, have the
coffee good, fresh, and ground very fine.
Second, pour hot water into the coffee pot, so
as to heat it thoroughly before use. Third,
put (for an ordinary family a teGcupful of
coffee, prepared as above, into the bag placed
at the top OF the open heated pot. Fourth,
pour on boiling water until a 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 It's virtues
to boiling water. Probably no fruit gives up
It's virtues so rapidly A good cup OF coffee
can be made in one minute in this way.

Even If people were to throw away their
shoes and go barefoot they would have as
many corns as ever, the only difference being
that the corns would be shifted from the top
and sides to the bottom of the foot and be-
come worse, for stone-bruises and blisters on
the sole are only modified corns. There have
been corns ever since there were feet to grow
them on, and as long as feet hold out corns
will always be an abundant crop.
