BOGUS COFFEE.
How the Beans Are Made Out of "a Pasty
Mixture,


How the Beans Are Made Out of Pasty
Mixture.
The Compound is manufactured in
the shape of coffee beans, made to imi-
tate as closely as possible the natural
article. 1t is sold to wholesale dealers,
and is mixed with the commoner grades
Of coffee. The bogus coffee is sold at
about one-third the price of the natural
product and this allows a big margin of
profit when the compound is mixed
With the genuine article. Molasses, rye
iour, chicory and other ingredients en-
ter into the composition, and it is claimed
shat it contains nothing injurious to
health. The manufacture of the bogus
coffee berry is commenced on the third
floor of the factory, otherwise known
as the mixing room. At one end OF a big
room a huge tub is located, where the
different ingredients are thoroughly beat
en- up-the mixture looking very much
like childrens mud-pie batter. 1t is next
placed in a sort of grinding machine
and the preparation is thoroughly ground.
The putty-like substance is now ready for
the next machine, which merely rolls it
out into thin sheets, similar to pie crust.
A third contrivance cuts these sheets into
iong, narrow strips, about an inch in
width.
The next process is the stamping of
the long strips into beans. The long,
aud are divided by knives into two or
three strips, the exact width of the bean.
In running through the wheels the beans
are stamped out with bewildering rapid
ity, falling into square sleeves. The
beans are carried to the floor beneath,
where the drying room is located. One
hundred and thirty degrees is the tenn
perature required, and the bean is left for
several hours to thoroughly dry. The
bean is. of course, still very rough. and
would easily be detected as spurious
were it not smoothed down. For this
process a dozen revolving sleeves are re-
CURED. The bean is taken from the
drying closets and dumped into the sleeves,
and is smoothed and polished by fric-
ton. In the bottom of each sieve there
is funnel-shaped trap. through which
the beans fall into a receptacle on the
floor below. The final process is to roast
the bean in the same manner as the gen
uine article. Any desired shade can
be obtained in roasting, thus initiating
the various brands of coffee. The entire
process of manufacture occupies about
two days.

Brought the First sealskin to Boston

T. c.. Pazolt the oldest furrier in Bos-
ton. is 50 years Of age, says the Boston
Globe. Seventy years of that period have
been passed at his trade. either as a man
ufacturing furrier or trader or as a work
man at the bench. Few men in the fur
business have had anything like the ex-
perience of Mr.. Pazolt, who as one of the
early pioneers of the trade, dealt direct
~ and in person with the trappers far up
in the wilds of Maine and Canada. His
custom was to go every winter from BOs-
tons to Portland by train, Portland being
then the northern terminus of the Boston
& Maine railroad and from there in
sleigh up into the forests along the banks
of Lake Champlain, the st. Lawrence
river and other streams in search Of
skins. He was obliged to buy the horse
and sleigh, and would hire a guide, usu-
ally a half-breed, to accompany him.
Speaking of the changes in the fur bust
ness during the last sixty years, Mr.. Pa
zoIt says the greatest has taken place in
the matter of sealskins. He remembers
we'll the time when he brought the first
sealskin to Boston that was ever seen in
New England. No one would buy it,
and everyone objected on the ground that
seal fur was too short ever to become the
fashion. The fashionable furs in those
days, say fifty or sixty years ago, were
sable, stone marten and mink and the
backs of squirrels for the outside of a gar
ment Since / started in business" said
Mr.. Pazolt, ''about all of these furs have
had two innings, and SO it goes. Prices
have kept pace with the fashions, and the

Her Prophecy Came True.

e. I. n. in Kate Fields Washington
quotes a friend who has often stayed with
the Lesseps family as saying that the
count never seemed to lose sight of the
education of his children, even in the
smallest detail. One morning at break
fast beautiful Dresden teacup was
broken. ''Ah!'' cried the countess, "a
disaster! Two more of that set will now
be broken. 1t always happens So" Are
you so superstitious?' asked the count,
''as really to believe that two more viii
be broken?' 81 know it, ''Then let us
get it off our minds And, taking two Of
the cups by the handles, he dashed them
together. The anger and dismay of the
countess proved conclusively that she had
not seriously held to her superstition. It
also loosed any hold the absurd idea may
nave had ON the minds of the children.

DR.. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Nfnefy-eigtt per cent. o. an
cases of Consumption, in a0 sc
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura-
bic, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, Ill all its
earlier stages, consumption IS a curabla
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
cet1faee of cases, and we believe, fully o}
per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration' (1nclud-
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme enlaciation and weakness.
Do YOU doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
ica1 Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, i'll nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever i'll mis-
representing them and who were often
strongly preiudiced and advised against
trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, III curative power over this
fatal 1nalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emissions and
mixtures, had been tried i'll nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, wliskey,
and various preparations of the lypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and Kindred 1naladies, have been

AN EIFFEL TOWER BIKE.
1t is Thirteen Feet Tall and the Ride
Needs an Escort.

1t is Thirteen Feet Tall and the Ride
Needs an Escort.
One of the most curious sights that
has lately been seen in the streets of
New York is what has felicitousiy been
called the Eiffel tower bicycle The
machine is constructed on the same prin-
ciple as the ordinary safety, but it has
a frame superstructure which carries the
rider at distance of some ten feet from
terra firma. The machine is frequently
seen on the avenues of the city, and the
rider easily overtops the ordinary lamp
post along the route OF travel. He seems
to have perfect control over the machine,
which he can drive at quite a good rate
of speed, taking sharp corners with per-
feet ease and apparent safety. This
bicycle is mounted from behind in the
usual way but it has to be held by at
tendants while mounting. The owner
sometimes places the machine against q
wall and mounts from a standstill, but,
of course. in the city this is not always
practicable.
There is considerable difficulty in driv-
ing the bicycle up hill, owing particularly
to the weight, the length of the sprocket
chain and the balance of the machine.
The sprocket chain extends from the
upper sprocket wheel to the rear wheel,
and the lateral swing or play of the chain
is prevented by a guide roller mounted
just above the back wheel. The front
wheel measures twenty-eight inches, the
rear wheel thirtysix inches, and the
extreme height is said to be thirteen feet
The machine was constructed in England.
but the American Dunlop tire was APP
piled after it arrived in this country
The adventurous spirit who has been
seen riding this wheel is usually accom-
panied by number of companions, who
serve as sort of body guard and pre-
vent vehicles and pedestrians from OBJ
structing the way.-Philadelph Record

"A WINTER NIGHT ON THE FARM.

Is there aught in life we prize
Like the light of home that lies
over u.s. when winter shakes
From the North his frosty flakes,
When the chill winds at the pane
Beat their icy wings in vain?
Is there any joy on earth
BY the freight, snug and warm,
Like to that which tindeth birth
OF the old home Oh the farm?
UndiSturbed, and far from town,
Our ambitions narrow down
10 nest of small desires,
bounded by the evenings fires;
All the passions of the year
Pass away in laughter here,
Where the saucy kettle sings,
And the sturdy backlog filings
The defiance of it's glance
10 the winds, as they advance.
Here the magic popcorn snaps
Into little snowy caps
For the chubby hands that ache
In their rapture to partake;
Here the Ipipkins, plump and sleek,
Filed up in the pantry speak,
Rain as any mortal may,
Of the summer passed away,
bringing back to nights like these,
Blrd-songs and the hum Of bees.
Hickory nuts and walnuts, too,
Break their hearts for me and you,
Yield their very souls to make
Pleasures for the children's sake;
And the elders kindly cup
Offers it's keen spirit up
On the altar of good cheer,
On this wild night Of the year
IN this night when love and mirth
Hold their court around the hearth.

Over homes of more content.

Nature or an Assassin Resp ons ibIe for

A curious fact, which has been general
~ known. but never before commented
upon by the newspapers, finds expression
IN today's issue of the Coyington (Ga.)
Star. Six years ago, w. 6. Jones, one
Of the most prominent planters in this
country, was assassinated. Nobody was
ever arrested for the crime, for there was
40 clue whatever to the assassin. The
body was found in q meadow, near a
clump of trees. Shortly after the body
was removed from there it was discovered
that the grass, which was abundant,
was dying, and the spot, which was
marked with a stake, and a space around
it for from eight to twelve feet each way,
has been utterly barren, and always as
smooth as If swept by a broom. 1t is
claimed that even the leaves from the
trees near by will not fall on that space.
though at times they cover the ground
contiguous. Many people believe this q
supernatural occurrence, but the news
paper advances the theory that the I'M
known assassin is in some way RESPONSE
BILE for it. The publication has reawak-
ened interest IL the crime, and the detec-
tives are working on the theories adj
