Pure Coffee.

There is one consolation for the prev
alent adulteration of coffee, which is
that the people who use the adulterated
article are apt to be better off in health
than those who partake largely of the
pure article. 1t lis known that coffee in
creases the pulse, makes the mind active
and produces wakefulness. Consequent
ly most people take it in the morning.
In large quantities it produces palpita-
ton of the heart, consequently people
with heart trouble are forbidden to drink
coffee. Taken at night it produces wake
fulness.
One cup of black coffee at night will
give night of misery to any one inclined
to heart trouble and keep awake for the
entire night person not accustomed to
its use The optimist must therefore
hail with delight the prevalence of adul-
terated coffee.
The epicure, however, will continue to
get his coffee green, roast it himself,
grind it with religious exclusion of any
adulterants and use it at once by MAX
ing decoction by pouring boiling water
over it and never boiling the coffee in
the water to be drunk. Thus the epicure
may extract the utmost of unhealthful-
ness from the fragrant and delicious
berry, adding another to the long list of
pleasures that are somewhat hurtful.--

1t is all right for some writers to jab
Charles H. Hoyt, but all the same he
is the marvel of the century. He has
written ten plays, each one of them a
success, and he is yet looking for his
thirty irst birthday. These ten plays,
or rather nine of them, for "a Temper
ance Town" has not yet been produced,
have made over million of
dollars. OF course Hoyt hasn't
all that money, but five other people
have, or are making fortune out of
them, and Mr.. Hoyt himself has ne doubt
a quarter of million put away snrgIy
for a rainy day. which isn't likely
to strike him. A Bunch OF Keys and A
Parlor Match have each made quarter
of million dollars for their owner, and
60 far A Texas Steer has cleared over
$4,000, while the profits Of "A Trip to
Chinatown have passed the $4,000
mark for this season alone. If there is
a shining mark of success to be pointed
to, one would have to look pretty hard
to discover better mark than Mr..
Hoyt, who jumped into success the very
first lick, and has been forging ahead
ever since.

A Soldiers Bible.

While Miss Winter, of Elnmittsburg,
was overlooking her childhood's treas
ures, she came across an old Testament
which she found on the site of soldiers
camp near there during the war, after
the soldiers had left for the field of Get
tysburg. On examining the book her
eyes fell on the name Samuel Wolcott.
Griffin's Mills, Erie county. N. "" and
Miss Winter decided to write to the ad-
dress, thinking the owner would like to
recover the book.
In few days she received reply
from Mrs. Weaden, of Clifton, N. j.,
stating that she was a sister of the SOL
dier and the only living member Of a
large family. She said her brother had
returned home from the army in 1868,
and died in 1864, and Miss Winters let
ter had been forwarded to her as his
nearest of kin. Mrs. Weaden seemed
much pleased at the idea of recovering
this long lost memento of her dead
brother, and Miss Winter sent the Tes-
lament to her.-Baltimore Sun,

A chapter ON Oysters.

"Oysters are fatter this year than /
ever saw them before" said a restaurant
oyster opener. 81 don't know why, but
usually the fatter an oyster is the poorer
the flavor. This is because the fat oy-
ster has generally been out of the water
too long and has been fed. That is not
wholly the reason this year. They are
fatter anyhow.
"An oyster is best on the half shell,
about twenty-four to forty-eight hours
after he is out of salt water. Eaten be-
fore that time they are apt to give
cramps. Yes, the male oyster is the
best, but we don't come across male
more than an average of once in fifty
times. New York Herald.

Death of sn Old Pitcairn islander.

| Death of sn Old Pitcairn lsiander.
a Norfolk island correspondent renorts
the death, at the age of ninety y-four, of
Mr.. Buffet, an old and much respected
member of the island community. He
had been connected with the Pitcairn
community for the long period of nearly
seventy years.
Early in the twenties 1922 the Eng
lish whaler Cyprus, on her way home
after an extended and successful cruise.
and before starting on the then lonely
and perilous passage around the Horn.
called at Pitcairn island for fresh provi-
sions and to recruit. Just at that time
the island elders began to feel the want
of school teacher for the young com
munity fast growing up, and expressed
their wishes to that effect to the captain
of the Cyprus, who, without hesitation,
willingly agreed to help them, if possi-
BILE.
The result was that Buffet, then q
young man on board, of fair education,
was sounded, and he gladly fell in with
the wishes Of his captain and the COM
munity, went ashore with all his belong
ings and thenceforward threw in his lot
with the islanders. He was not long,
however, schoolmaster, as on the ad-
vent of Mr.. Nobbs, some few years later.
majority of the parents wished for q
change. and of course Buffet had to ac-
quiesce.
Mr.. Buffett's residence, even on peace
full Pitcairn, was not without its excit-
ing episodes. In 1881 occurred, at the
instance OF the English government, the
exodus to Tahiti, and the community's
return some months later curtailed
through sickness of many of its mem
bers. Then again, in 1885, during the
reign" of Mr.. Joshua Hill, Buffet and
his two compatriots, Nobbs and Evans,
together with their families, were for q
short period banished to the Gambler
islands by this arbitrary gentleman,
where the exiles were kindly treated, and
remained until the storm blew over.
Lastly, the final departare from loved
old Pitcairn to the new home at Norfolk
island, 5000 miles away.
Buffet was an ingenious worker in
wood, and his handiworks in the shape
of cabinets and such like are widely dis
tributed, the old familiar legend, made
from the wood of John Adams house."
being always kept up and no doubt add
ing attraction to the goods Until three
or four year, ago Mr. Buffet had the full
use of all his faculties, but for the last
eighteen months he has been totally
oblivious to passing events. = Chilian

says: References have so often been
made in the columns of the papers
touching the profits of California horti-
culture that the subject must be getting
somewhat threadbare. Still will risk
quoting the experience of John 2. Fos-
ter, who has been fruit grower near
Tustin for about ten years. In the first
place Mr.. Foster is an unusually careful
and industrious man. He tells me that
he keeps his accounts as thoroughly as
a merchant, and keeps constantly posted
concerning all his possessions. He says
that the great trouble with the average
fruit grower In this section is that he is
too careless and indolent. He has had
q crop of English walnuts for four years
from his ninety trees, and says
he has never sold any crop for
less than 1920. He recently con-
tracted to sell his crop of the walnuts
for exactly $1050. He knows all about
his trees and how they bear. The aver
age proceeds from each walnut tree on
his place this season is $11 80. Then,
too, he has 1000 navel orange trees that
have extraordinary care. His accurate
account books, which he keeps to show
how much. his orchards and how well
their products pay him, prove that the
annual crop from these trees has for
four years sold for sums varying from
$3290 to $4350. Last year he got the
last named price. His four acres of
prune trees yielded him 1875 last year.
Besides there are three acres for alfalfa,
small fruits, vegetables, the barn and
the family residence. Here is another
practical illustration of what twenty
acre farm will do in Southern California,
under the management of an efficient,
wide-awake man.
HOW TO CURE OLIVES.
Rev. 9. F. Loop, of Pomona, gives the
following method for curing olives:
solves to be cured by this (the Span
ish) method should be gathered when
fully ripe. Take thin, sharp knife and
make three incisions to the pit of each
olive, dropping into cold water as you
work. When the olives are cut place
them in new oak cask with faucet at
the bottom, from which to draw the
water, changing three times day, until
the bitterness is extracted. Ifthe work
is carefully done, at the end of twenty
one days the olives will be found upon
testing to be sweet. If the olives are
fully colored but still hard when cut this
part OF Jne process may require
twenty-eight days. When the bitter
ness is discharged, cover with
brine made of the purest salt. Let the
fruit remain in the brine just long
enough to make them valuable. This
point in the process will be reached in
twenty-four or forty-eight hours, de-
pending on the strength of the brine.
When the olives are in condition to be
used on the table, prepare new brine
by boiling and skimming and adding
small percentage of salicylic acid,
dissolved in water. Bay leaves and fem
mel may be added to the brine to give
flavor, ii desired. Place the others in
glass fruit jars, cover with brine and
seal the covers. and put them in dark,
cool room or closet. If left in an open
keg or barrel the brine becomes cloudy
through fermenting of the fruit and the
olives soft and worthless.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS.

The playing of Mr.. Willard and his
company has done much towards ele-
waiting the standard demanded by
patrons of the drama in this city.
There was not an anachronism in any
of the stage settings or the most insig-
nifcant appointment. Oitener than
not wooden-seateu kitchen chair has
been seen in baronial hall on the local
stage, and l think l remember once
seeing Margaret Mather make love to
Romeo from balcony of one of those
| Queen Anne houses which were never
known to Philistines before the last
decade.
The public have at last seen a per.
fectly mounted play; two of these in
fact, and the result will be that no more
slipshod methods will be tolerated.
| x*x
| Mr.. Willard impresses me as having
all the qualifications of being able to
create a Hamlet which will not be nj
hilistically radical in its departure from
accepted ideas regarding this first gen.
| tleman OF the play world, but which will
be fresh, full of originality, and satis-
factory to the student, as well as the
mere superficial playgoer.
He has perfect Hamlet voice. A
voice as sonorous as brass cymbal
when needed, and as pure and true
as crystal bell, yet always
instinct with manliness, and in accent and
accuracy putting in plain evidence the
fact that it's possessor is gentleman
bred and scholar in attalnments.
x*#
That voice is alone enough to make
Mr.. Willard great actor, without his
homely but wonderfully mobile face,
and his stage ease. This latter is most
rare quality-the entire absence of self
consciousness. Edwin Booth has it;
Lawrence Barrett never showed it.
Fred Warde, even when painting in one
of his most vehement moments, never
permits the spectator to lose eight
of the fact that he ia acting
Cyrus Blenkarn and Mr.. Llewellyn do
not permit single one of the audience
to remember that they are butcreations
of Mr.. Willard. That is where genius
is shown.
If Mr.. Willard ever does play Hamlet
it will become an historic. event.

x The years go by; managers rise to
prominence and then fall to the bottom
of the tureen, but autographs of Mr..
Cleveland and his pompadour bang ap-
pear in every city once every year.

archbishop had lost his crozier. This
