The Flavor of Coffee.

Real coffee is very delicate sub
stance and will readily not only lose its
own favor, but also take up the favor
of other substances. Thus it is quite
necessary in shipping coffee to make
sure that no other odorous substance.is
placed near to destroy the flavor of the
coffee. The aroma is volatile. Let a
quantity of pure ground coffee be ex-
posed to the air for considerable time
and the best of the coffee will go out
into the atmosphere. The careful house
wife who wishes to make good, pure
coffee of fragrant aroma buys it in the
green bean, roasts it herself, keeps it
tightly canned after roasting and grinds
it the morning it is used. Coffee SO made
is totally different article of consump-
ton from the great bulk of ground cof-
fee that is sold in the stores.
Some time ago an official analysis of
some ground coffee exposed for sale dis
closed the fact that there was absolutely
no coffee in it.-New York Sun

Dinners in New York.

There is one enjoyment of life possess
ed by New Workers which is rarely
found in any other of the large cities of
this country. The resident of the me
tropolis who prefers to live in furnished
apartments and dine wherever his fancy
suits him-a practice common enough in
London and in Continental cities-can
make selection from among hundred
or more restaurants where meals are
served table d'hote at prices consider
ably less than would be demanded for
the same meal at an ordinary American
restaurant. These places are to be found
in nearly every section of the city, but
they are most numerous in the neighbor-
hood of upper Broadway. There are
French, Italian and German resorts of
this description apd the price ranges
from fifty cents toeshree or four dollars,
including wine, so that the most impe-
cunious individual can take his course
dinner regularly at a small expense. In
Boston, Philadelphia, and even in Chi
cago, table d'hote restaurants are prac-
tically unknown, while in New York
they are as numerous, and many of
them quite us excellent in every way, as
in any of the principal cities abroad

Too SLOW.

A music teacher who lives in a small
town in central Ohio tells delicious
story, which goes to show what unap-
preciative ears classical music sometimes
falls on, when the owners of the ears
think that nothing is good music unless
it is .sfast and lively" The incident oc-
CURED during a aconcert given by August
Wilhelmj, the great German yiolinist.
Wilhelmj, as is known by musicians,
particularly excels in rendering andante
or adagio movements, containing much
pathos and deep feeling.
The proprietor of the town hall had
heard of the great artist, and although
he had no more idea of what the per-
forlnance of a solo violinist of the first
rank would be than he had of the pres
ent system of political economy in the
planet Mars, he thought it would be a
paying speculation to engage the great
violinist for concert, and accordingly
did so at price which looked ruinous to
his townsmen.
The attendance ON the night of the
concert proved, unfortunately, that the
musical culture of the place was not suf-
ficiently advanced to fill the house, for
there was only a handful of people in

The music teacher who tells the story
arrived after the concert commenced.
He found the manager taking tickets al

The manager looked up with an air OF
deep detection. He said nothing, but
plucking his friends sleeve he led him
silently to the door of the hall and
looked in. On the stage stood Wilhelmj

He was playing soulful adagio. AS he
drew his bow slowly across the strings
he drew forth tones which seemed
almost like melodious sobs in theil

Little Known About BIRDS.

For nine successive summers pair of
red wings built at the base of button
bush, and year after year more and more
nests were made until every spot was oc-
cupied for many rod around. In Au-
gust the clan gathered, and, as little
flock that seemed scattered by day, but
reassembled at sunset, these birds were
q feature of the meadow for two weeks
or more, then they disappeared. never
saw them unite with passing flock, but
this is what they did. Suggestive as is
every flock of birds, we really know but
little about them. No naturalists has yet
fathomed the mystery of bird life. and
bird slaughter has accomplished nothing.

Few Cold. from Exposure.

remember some curious facts Of my
own experience in the army in 1862 and
1868. was not strong, and indeed was
hardly fit to be in the army at all. And
when found myself exposed all day
long to steady rain, and at night to
the outdoor air, with no fire, no change
of clothing, no shelter but canvas COW
ering open at both ends, through which
the rain dripped constantly, it seemed
certain that the ssdeath o. cold" so often
predicted must surely follow.
Why it did not follow was more of a
mystery then, however, than it is now
For was in place where the art of
man no longer excluded one of the prime
principles of health. I breathed pura
air because could not help it. During
service of fifteen months, with severe
exposures, but fresh air constantly, the
same immunity from colds prevailed.
I remember, too, that when I came
home from the army the blessing and
the curse-at least one of the curses OF
civil life-came back together. I had
comfortable rooms to eat, breathe and
sleep in on the one hand, but very soor
colds, sore throats and related troubles
on the other.-Rev. j. w. Quinby in

The old idea Of 40 years ago was that facial
eruptions were due to "blood humor" for
which they gave potash. Thus all the old Sarsa-
parillas contain potash, a most Objectionable and
drastic mineral, that instead of decreasing,
actually creates more eruptions. You have nc
ticed this when taking other Sarsaparillas than

ach, the blood creating power, is the seat of all

Household peodorizers.

always better to obtain one from ply

cotton or cotton rags are also valuable
for this purpose. Aromatic vinegar and
Compton are both excellent deodorizers.
and may be sprinkled freely in sick
room. The practice of some nurses who
use cologne water, sprinkling it freely
through the room by means of an atom
izer, is very comfnendable, as it proves
grateful and refreshing to "a patient. A
pail of clean cold water set in newly
painted rooms is said to have neutral
izing effect ON the poisonous odor given
out by new lead paint. 1t is safer, how
ever, not to occupy such Il room until it
has become thoroughly disinfected and
deodorized by pure fresh air. One of
the simplest and safest deodorizers to
use about the house is chloride of lime.
Care should be taken to buy only the
best quality and to purchase it only of a

this statutethousands of pounds of tea have
been burned because of their wholesale adul-

Tea, by the way, is one of the most notori-
ously adulterated articles of commerce. Not
alone are the bright, shiny green teas artif-
cjally colored, but thousands of pounds of
substitutes for tea leaves-are used to swell
the bulk of cheap teas; ash, sloe, and willow
leaves being those most commonly used.
Again, sweepings from tea warehouses are
colored and sold tea Even exhausted tea
leaves gathered from the tea-houses are kept,
dried, and made over and find their way into ,
the cheap teas.
The English government attempts to stamp
this out by confiscation; but no tea is too
poor for u.s. and the result is, that probably
the poorest teas used by any nation are those
consumed in America
Beech's Tea is presented with the guar
anty that it is uncolored and unadulterated;
