wedding means a bet, a wager, a

"A Peculiar Fire"

Under the above heading the Sterling
Herald publishes the following:
A remarkable exhibition of the moving
power of eloquent oratory was given Sun
day afternoon at the religious exercises
held in Warmers grove, near Sterliug. Ill.
The Rev. Arthur f. Gringle, pastor of
Bethany Lutheran church at Canton, ILL.,,
was speaking on foreign missions, and
desired to impress the people with their
esponsiblility to save the heather by
using the illustration OF a burning build
ing. Throwing out his arm, he pointed
over the heads of the congregation
"Lookp he shouted, "over there | see a
house on frer'
No sooner had he said this than the
whole congregation was upon its feet. In
the audience, right in front of the speakers
stand, John Wolf was seated. He was
aroused by the preachers startling words.
He look up hurriedly, and noticed the di-
rection in which that outstretched finger
pointed. With one wild whoop, Wolf
leaped to his feet.
"Py sheeminy criminy!" he yelled; II
pet You dot ish my house" and showing
his way though the astonished congrega-
tlon ran at the top of his speed in the di-
rection ofthe supposed confagration.
He soon discovered his mistake, OF
course, but certainly no better tribute to
the moving power of Rev. DIR. Gringel's
oratory could have been rendered. So

he saw the flames. and Rev. DR.. Sever

Who Made the First Cup Of coffse7
Literary Digest. I

Into Bibhotheque Nathionale there
is manuscrio Ut (near the end of the SIX
tenth century,, written by an Arab, Abdel-
cader, who declares that coffee was drunk
for the first time in Arabia 10 the middle
of the fifteenth century. Others think
that certain remarks in Persian writings
imply that coffee was used in Persia as
early as, the ninth century; but most
authors dispute these texts. It IS COM
monty supposed that the use of coffee in
its earliest home, Abyssinia, and in it's
second home, Arabia, is only FIVE or six
centuries old.
A legend says that the Angel Gabriel
once, when Mohammed was i'll, brought
him a cup OF coffee. Another legend says
that a Moham1nedan monk discovered
that his goat became very lively and full
of fun after they had eaten the fruit OF
the coffee-tree. This observation caused
him to make the first cup Of coffee. His
dervishes enjoyed the coffee, and ever
afterwards drank it at night, to produce
wakefulness, when they Kept vigils. eau
tious historians laugh at these traditions
and prefer to stand By Abdelcader's man.
uscript. This writer mentions an Arab,
Gemaleddin, a judge in Alden. who while
travelling to Persia, or, as the historians
correct the manuscript, 10 Abyssinia, saw
people use coffee as medicine. He used
it and was cured of q sickness. Later,
becoming monk, be taught his brethren
the use of coffee. It was, then, in Alden
that cofee-drinking originated. The
Fakeers even made coffee drinking COM
pulsory upon their neophytes. Public
cofee-houses originated in Alden, and
very early in history. We do not find any
opposition to the use of coffee until the
middle of the sixteenth century, when
the Egyptian Sultan sent new governor,
Chair Bey, to Mecca. This governor
knew nothing about coffee. and was
greatly enraged when he saw the der
wishes, in the mosque, drink coffee. He
believed that which they did was contrary
to the teaching of the Koran, and that
they became intoxicated. He consulted
two Persian physicians. who were op-
posed to coffee. They declared it was a
substitute for wine, which is prohibited
by the Koran, and hence coffee-drinking
was violation OF Mohammed,s law. To
prove that coffee drinking made persons
neglect religious duties, they pointed to
the fact that while coffee houses were
multiplying the mosques were empty
Chair Bey called council of physicians,
priests, and lawyers. and, on their advice,
forbade absolutely the rse OF coffee. The
police gathered all coffee that could be
found, and burned it IN the market-plac

Fate of the Old Navy.

The Navy Department is gradually
doing away with the old men-of-war of
historical and romantic memory, and a
number of changes affecting them are to
be made in the near future. The train
ing ship Richmond at Newport is to be
sent to Philadelphia to take the place OF
the st. Louis, which is in so decrepit a
condition that she will probably be
broken up and sold for the material in
her. The Lancaster, now in China as
the flagship of the Asiatic station, is
under orders to sail for the United
States when the cruiser Baltimore re :
lieves her, and her active service as a
war vessel will end on her arrival at
Newport to take the place of the Rich
mond.
The Lancaster will return from China
via the Cape OF Good Hope, and she is
not expected home until March next.
In the interim the old Constellation,
now on special service, will remain at
Newport In place of the Richmond. The
Lancaster Will be fitted out as gunnery-
instruction ship. New gun-carriages
and guns will be mounted on her and
tested at sea in order TO allow officers
and men to become familiar with their
workings.
The Essex, the successor to the ship
which made so gallant resistance to two
British vessels, the Phoebe and the
Cherub, in Valparaiso harbor in 1914
while commanded by Capt. David Por-
ter, has been thoroughly repaired at the
Norfolk navy yard and is now attached
to the Naval Academy as part of the in
struction feet, and she is also used 10
seamanship and gunnery practice by thu
cadets. The Swatara and the Pensacola
are now laid up in ordinary at the Mar
Island navy yard. and it has been prac-
tically decided that they shall not be re
fitted, and sale and destruction will fol
low ultimately.
