There are meat mallets, swimmers CRITTERS, clippers

II IS difficult for nation OF coffee drinkers, such
ms we hav.e certainly become TO realize that coffee
was introduced into Europe but little over 200
years ago. It brought from Turkey by certain
Mr. Edwards. about the same time that tea was In
troduced BY the Ears Of Arlington ard Ossory from
Holland, where obtained by the trade Of tho
Dutch with the Chinese. The introduction and con-
sequent puary Of these two drinks was the greatest
movement in favor OF temperance that has ever been
made. The nlc-house or the tsphouse was tho
