A CUP OF GOOD COFFEE.
How to Make 1t So hat 1t WIN BE
It,e, Ntfpf f,,,


How to Make 1t So hat 1t WIN Be an
Inspiration.
OF course no well-regulatcd house
wife buys the supply of family coffee
in the state which is known as
ground" Ground coffee may some
times be necessary in the eXigencies of
chance and change, but it is a solecism,
and is to be tolerated only when it can
not be helped,
For a really good cup of coffee buy
the berries whole and see that they are
properly Drowned 1t is better to buy
them in the roasted state, because the
green berries If kept long in stock lose
their strength. When the coffee is to
be made grind just enough for one pot
of coffee. Usually small tablespoon
'ul is fair allowance for each coffee
cup of the beverage. Put the ground
coffee in bowl and set it upon the
back of the stove, where it will get very
hot without burning. Pour the neces-
sary amount of hot water in the coffee
pot and set it on the stove until it act
ually bubbles. While the water is
actually dancing with the heat and
the steam is pouring out of the coffee
pot stir in the coffee, which by this time
has become very hot on the back of the
stove. Cover closely and let simmer
ten minutes.
The whole process is really very sim
pie and requires no more time than
making it in any other way. The vir-
tue lies in knowing how.
The old-fashioned way of boiling cof-
fee twenty minutes makes coffee finely
ground black and unpleasant alike to
sight and taste. There are patent cot.
fee-pots which have special ways OF
preparing the coffee by filtering. Many
of these are very good, and all of them
are labor-saving. But there is none
whose results will be found to be any
better than that of the process just de.
scribed for making model cup of cot.

NEW ZEALAND BIRDS.
Penguins In Multitudes Swim Away Annu-

EenBulUb IN MultltuQeS swim Away AnnU-

The kiwi is brown night bird, about
the size of guinea fowl, with long,
narrow, curved beak, with which it
pierces the ground to satisfy its appe-
lite with worms and grubs, 1t has fine,
long, pointed feathers, Of which the
Maoris make feather rugs by working
them together with flaxen threads. The
kakapo resembles bright green parrot
and is very handsome. The wika, or
wood-hen, is the most common and the

the least developed wing, and APP.
proaches most closely the now extinct
moa, or dinornis, of which there are
some fine skeleton specimens in the
museums. Those at Christ church run
to a height of eleven feet, but lack the
rudimentary wing bone; in Dunedin
there is one with it attached, and
beautiful skeleton is to be seen in the
Natural History museum in London,
We had quite a collection Of live
Sirds on the Hincmoah, as we captured
various specimens of young black
swans, paradise ducks and penguins
when boating from the steamer. The
method was to row after a young bird
till it got frightened and dived, and
finally, when tired out, it was caught
in sort of landing net at the end of
long bamboo cane. The captives were
designed for various geological gardens,
as unfortunately there seems prospect
of many of these native birds dying out,
probably owing to the depredations of
tourists and sportsmen. On this ac-
count the governor has lately caused a
large island in one of the sounds to be
set aside as a reserve, where they will
be neither shot nor captured for any
purpose whatever.
In addition to the winglcss birds,
there are fifty-nine different land birds,
and many more water birds abound on
the rocks and islands in the south and
west Penquins exist in multitudes,

was explained to us that this curious

was to enable them to search the sea

After a time their relations grew
less strained. Any woman's heart

peated attacks of a man like Dexter
But when, one day, she had been more

he had always loved her, and asked her
to marry him, she was furious.
Cant you see hate you?" she cried.
81 wouldn't marry you if you were the

And Dexter went away with heavy
heart, but not discouraged. He knew
women, little, and felt satisfied that
Pats fervent hate was far better than
indifference. He did not again speak
to her on the subject that had incensed
her, but went along as though nothing
had happened, until the day they
'struck il" in the Silver Queen. That
day he rushed over to find Dick, who
had been away from the mine that day,
and found Pat, all alone. He told her
the glad news, whereat she proceeded
to burst into tears.
Dexter sud denly decided that this
was the accepted time, and he put his
arm about Pats waist and attempted
to tell his story again.

glance upward.

few minutes later Pat raised her
blushing face from the place it had
been occupying to ask:

it Paul?"
would you have shot me, that time
at the mine?' he asked, smilingly
evasive.
"You know | would, Paul; but

"You didn't love me, then, promptly

A RUSSIAN CUSTOM.
1t Turns the Wedding Day Into a Day OF
Mourning.


In Russia bride does not display
that show of gayety and merriment
which is part and parcel of the bride of
other nations and the entire household
as well. Long before the wedding day
the Russian bride retires from all the
amusements and games of her compan-
ions. Her intimate friends gather
around her nightly and lend a helping
hand in preparing the trousseau. While
they are thus busy they sing mournful,
dirge-like songs, during which the bride
gives vent to fearful lamentations. Her
friends either seek to console her, or,
weeping with her in sympathy, prog
nosticate the shadowy side of married
life--a drunken husband hourishing
the knout, a tyranncal mother-in-law,
or pickering set of sisters-in-law, In
the northern part of Russia it is Gus
tomary for the bride to stand for three
days and nights under veil suspended
from the ceiling, bewailing the loss of
her maidenhood. Her parents, grand
mothers, relatives, and friends partici-
pate in this lachrymose proceeding.
A bride who manages to faint several
times during this weeping and waiting
process, and refuses to be revived en-
cept by q bath of cold water poured
over her from bucket, is held in the
highest esteem by the mourners. In
the district of Jarislow the bride on the
day of her wedding sheds bitter tears
over the loss of her maidenly beauty.
This 'maidenly beauty" is symbolized
by a young fir tree, declled out with
ribbons, paper flowers and other gew-
gaws, and lighted with candles like a
Christmas tree. The bride places the
''maidenly beauty" on table, bewails
tho brief moments still left to its exist
cnce, and parts with it amidst par
oxysm of grief She announces to her
friends the fate of her 'maidenly
beauty" which is destined to be carried
TO the darkest spot in the forest, there
TO be strung to birch tree, from which
It falls into the sillen grass to be mown
and cut to pieces by her own father and
brothers. In other districts where this
same custom is in vogue, the ''maidenly
beauty" is not banished to the gloom of
the forest, but is presented to n younger
sister or near relative, while ribbons
and gewgaws are distributed among
the brides companions. All these pop
1lar and peculiar customs are fraught
with the sad and gloomy spirit which
oervades the character of the Slav
tribes. st. Louis Post-Dispatcb.

she snapped" to come and take hal!
your mine from you! And then, thei,

it back to you! Mphr'
But, Pat, don't we see? they've

But Pat did not look at the matter MS
her father did, and nothing he could
say tended TO convince her that they
had not been robbed.
After this, Dexter was frequcni
visitor at the Fulton's. The partners
were now employing several men, and
the work of developing the property
was going on rapidly, so there was
much to consult Fulton about, as his
experience and advice were worth a
good deal But when Dexter appeared,
Pat invariably absented herself. She
told herself she hated him, and all that
sort of thing. 1t is quite certain, how
ever, that she always watched him
leaving the house, and that she did not
Immediately enter it. but stood where
she could see his tall form swinging
along the road to the top of the hill.
Dexter was first amused, then puz-
zled, then vcXed. What little he had
seen of her only tended to make him
wish he knew her bettcr-far better
and her actions made him despair of
ever reaching this desired end. Dick
Fulton reasoned with his daughter,
with the result that, finally, she con
sented to remain in the house when
Dexter was present, But, further than
this, she would not go. She always
treated Dexter's attempts at converse
ton with the most frigid politeness,
and never spoke to him unless obliged
in common decency, to say Eyes" or
mo"
All this, naturally, tended only to
fan into flame the feeling for her that
had taken root in Dexter's heart. He
had always been successful (uninten-
tionally) with women. But now, when
he put forth his best efforts to attract
the one whom of all the world he
wished to attract, he found himself
countered and rebuffed at every point
only to return to the charge more

which Fulton was glad to accept. They

well enough to help and that Fulton
was to retain half interest in the
mine. Pat was not present at the in.
