While coffee (coffea arabca) now figures
as one of the most considerable economic
products, its use as an article of food in
civilized countries is of comparatively re
cent origin. In Abyssinia and Ethiopia,
where the coffee plant is Indigenous, the
people have been accustomed to decoctions
from its berries from time immemorial.
There the Arabs first tasted the fragrant
draught and, highly delighted Herewith,
transported some of the precious beans to
their own country about the beginning of
the fifteenth century. In Arabia the new
exotic Aourished luxuriantly, and, strange
ly enough, entered into the occasions of re
ligious controversy.
Legend reports that a devout Moslem,
who had heard of the wakeful effect pro
duced upon browsing goats by its foliage,
resolved to try what influence brewing
from its berries might have upon the SOM
nolent dervishes who nonchalantly fell
asleep during the protracted services. The
result was magical. Drowsy laymen fol
lowed their example Coffee became the
national beverage Of the faithful. Mo
hammedan pilgrims to Mecca carried beans
to all lands whence they had come.
Egypt soon rejoiced in coffee houses, and
in Constantinople CA. d. 1854 they &C
quired instant popularity. Mosques were
overshadowed by them. Quickened wits
Of drinkers suggested intoxication to the
religious, and political characterization to
the civil authorities. The former de
nounced the dangerous resorts and the
latter shut them up. But the beverage
triumphed. - Richard Wheatley in Har
per's Weekly.

The Loyal Legion

Post ntelligencer: The military order
of the Loyal Legion is composed not
simply of commissioned officers who
fought for the Union. but of certain
number of persons who in civil life rem
dered conspicuous service to the cause.
At meeting held in San Franc SEQ last
winter the application of an acting assist
ant engineer of the United States navy
was withdrawn, he not having been "a
commissioned officer. At the same meet
ing two persons were elected under the
conspicuous service in civil life" qualti-
cation In other words, a man who had

who had loyalty served the Union in the
conspicuous bomb-proOf of civil life was

remained at home he might possibly
have proved claim of gallant
services in civil life, but he went tC
war, and as he did not get com
mission and could not be in two places "a
once and distinguish himself in civil life
and in war at the same time, he is no
eligible to the Loyal Legion either as
soldier or a civilian. Practically thi
would seem to be very ariStocracy o

1t was the avowed intention Of this
party to defeat the dominant party,
the Republican, but in the next presi-
dental election Garfield carried every
Northern state with the exception or
New Jersey, which only had six votes.
Instead of injuring the Republicans,
it seemed only to increase their ma

saw in the new party chance to beat
the Republican'party, and in this way
the Peoples party was organized at

George Francis Train, in whose cranki-
ness there is much method, who has
twice trotted around the globe with the
expressed purpose of advertising two

in prospect. The Chicago Herald says:
George Francis Train, who hoped off the
cars here for a few minutes Thursday and
then hoped on again, stopped long
enough to express his diSapproval of the
people Tho had been selected as World ;
Fair emmissaries to Europe. He thinks a
great mistake was made in not sending
out George Francis Train as promoter
extraordinary and general foreign whiri-
Gig. Perhaps Mr. Train is right. BY
sheer force of natural garrulty he speaks
any language, whether he has ever heard
it before or not: he is almost Omni present,
and he is indefatigable. Besides, many
foreigners have an idea that Mr.. Train is
typical American. If given the com
mission he would rage through Europe
| like maddened bull, and would talk
| Worlds Fair till the whole continent
would become Obscured in a fog of volu'
bility. He would make of himself 8
ubiquitous, unacceptable, irrepressible ad
vertisemcnt. Mr.. Train has remarkable
facul tics; why not use some Of them?

CLOTH FROM WOOD.



Mitscherlich has applied the bisul.
phite process for reducing wool to the
production of fiber from wood which
can be spun into cloth. Thin boards or
laths, free from knots, but of any de.
sired width, are cut into strips in a di.
rection parallel to the grain and are
then boiled in boiler containing a so
luton of shlphuric and -bisulphite
acid After boiling the wood is dried
in the open air or in specially construct
ed dryingrooms By being thus dried,
the fiber, which is originally very weak
and likely to break at the slightest
strain, becomes comparatively strong
and does not resume its very breakable
condition on the addition of water The
operations carried out in fitting this
wonderful production for the spinning
wheel and the loom are as follows:
The damp mass of pulp described
above is dumped from the frame OF the
mixer onto travelling endless cloth,
which carries the pulp to pair of roll
ers which are sometimes plain and some
times provided with corrugations in the
direction of their length, the ribs or
cogs of one roller being made so as to
gear into the recesses of tbs other,
whereby they effect simultaneous
strong bending and squeezing power.
The cutting of the material in passing
through the corrugated rollers is avoid
ed by causing the endless cloth to pass
over the lower roller and by placing a
canvas covering around the upper one.
The pressed mass falls from the first
set of rollers onto another endless cloth.
which conveys it to n second pair of
rollers, from which in turn it is con-
veyed to third pair, and so on until it
has passed down six endless cloths and
through six pairs of rollers BY con-
tinued treatment of the wood pulp with
the bisulphite the fibers at length be-
come as pliable and isolated from each
other as SO many strands OF cotton or
wooden yarn, and is said to make a
strong and splendid thread for use in
the textiles where coarse filament is
required.
The separation of the extractable !
matter is usually done after the fiber |
has been spun into threads or woven
into cloth. Prof. Wayman says that |
with this process it is possible for a
woodman to fell tree in the morning
and wear it as a suit of clothes or walk
On it as carpet by evening.-N. Y.
