And then you must roast the quota for
each meal each morning.
Nowhere on the planet do peo-
pie so we'll understand the art
and science-for It is both-of
coffee making as do the French creoles
of Louisiana, and there the coffee is
roasted only when needed for coffee
making. But they never murder 1T by
boiling it. Theirs is drip coffee. The
roasted grains are powdered, not
ground. but pulverized and put into a
cloth bag fitting the pot. Over this
the proper proportion, and it must be
exact, of boiling water is poured to per-
colate through the coffee and the cloth,
carrying down with it the delicious
flavor and delicate aroma and prepar-
ing for you cup that nourishes and
cheers and stimulates, but never inc
briates. Don't take the Registers adj
vice, however, and ask your grand
mother how to make coffee, for she al
ways boiled it and settled it with an
egg. Eggs are we'll enough in their
places, but coffee is not one of them
Fortified with cup Of such coffee, you
can face the tumults of the day with
serenity, equal to any fate that may
confront you.

A CUP Of GOOD COFFEE

The war between coffee and sugar
has stirred the Des Moines Register I'D
to one of its fierce assaults, this time
happily, upon the roasted and the
ground coffees of the market, instead of
hapless Democrats. 1t has taken Mr.
Clarkson twenty-five years to find ont
what is the matter with himself. For
the several years in which we have PEI
rused his excellent paper we have been
aware that there was something
increasingly the matter with him. We
supposed it was merely ultra-RepubIi-
can b1llousness, inasmuch as the unfor-
tunate Democrats. were the victims Of
his acrimony. We have also thought
that his want Of success in making
presidents might be at the bottom of
the difficulty. But we are happv to
learn that it is nothing but coffee. Tt
is the roasted coffee, prepared in the
mammoth establishments. that loses all
it's flavor and virtue while in transit
and in waiting on store shelves for the
consumer, and bears the same relation
to the freshly roasted berry that dried
apples or figs do to the freshly picked
fruits.
The Register grows virulent in his at
tack. He calls the Drowned coffees
'the dyspepsia factory
Drowned" monopoly-produced "stale
and insipid coffee" He declares that
he is going to brown 1t ourselves as we
sometimes did in the army" What an
unfortunate reference Who ever saw
raw coffee rationed out in the army?
Who does not recall the vile and nox-
ious mixture dealt out to us, roasted
and ground, for coffee by the commits
sary, with it's odors incapable of analy
sis, and it's decoction making us long.
as we slipped it from the old tin cup.
for one good drink of mothers coffee2
But, army coffee Of unsavory memory
aside, the Register is right. If Won
want good coffee for your breakfast
table you have got to buy the berry
and roast it yourself You cannot trust
it to the average maid Of the kitchen.
for it takes brain, patience and skill
to bring the berries to the right turn of
color that indicates that proper condi
ton, midway between rawness and Gin
der, where the flavor is at it's best.

cember by the Treasury.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The treas
ury balance sheet for December shows
an excess of receipts over expenditures
Of $751; 900. This is explained by the
fact that the December disbursements
each year are below the average The
deficit for the six months closed yester-
day Is 500, 295, 1872, against $15, 1927, 722 for
the corresponding period last year
The receipts for six months were
in round numbers, $751;, 500, 900 and dis
burseTnents $196, 0,000 Compared with
the same period of 1895 there was q
falling off Of receipts of $4,000, 900 and
an increase of expenditures of $14 ,000,-
co.,
The available cash balance is $227,-
615, 461, Of which nearly $137 600, 900 is
gold. One year ago the available bal
ance was SLY, 000, 900, Of which less than

Thirteen Men Imprisoned by Fire

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. IA terri

broke out in one of the levels in the
Southern works yesterday. shutting off
the exit of thirteen Mexican miners.
Miners on the outside went to work 10
try to put out the fire and save the
men. One Englishman, Ned Richards,
an experienced miner, went down in
charge Of the rescue operations, but
persisted from suffocation. All the
Mexicans died from the same cause, or
from burning. The bodies have not
been recovered. The affair caused the
greatest excitement, as it is one of

ADMIRAL DEAD.
Joseph Skerritt, Retired, Passes
Away at Washington.

Joseph skerritt, Retired, Passes
Away at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Rear Ad-
miral Joseph S. Skerrttt, retired, died
here today. His death, while sudden,
was not wholly unexpected, as he had
been in bad health since his retire
ment from active service in July, 1894.
The admiral was in the sixty-fourth
year of his age, and is survived by q
widow three daughters and two sons.
The funeral will take place Sunday aft
ernoon and the interment will be at
Arlington.
Admiral Skerr1tt had long and hon
orable career in the service of his
country. A native Of Ohio, he enter
ed the navy as midshipman in October,
1848, passed through the various grades,
becoming a lieutenant in 1855, a lieu
tenantscomnlander in 1882 and was sta
toned at the Washington navy yard
the following year, after which he
served creditably during the civil war
on the Shenandoah and the gunboat
Katahdin. He commanded the gun
boat Aroostook from 1864 to 1865, and
was actively engaged with the Con-
federate Notifications at the mouth of
the BraZoS river, Texas, in June, 1854
subsequently he spent three years
surveying in the Pacific ocean, had
command of an expedition to Panama
and another to Apia, Samoa, to settle
local troubles with the United States
consul; was governor for two years of
the naval asylum at Philadelphia, later
was in command of the naval forces
on the Pacific station and was in Hon
olulu during the exciting times follow
ing the revolution. 1t is said that, be-
cause of his suspected sympathy with
the annexation party, he was summari-
ly detached from the command Of the
station and transferred to the Asiatic
station, where he rendered valuable
services in connection with the trou-
bles in Corea, leading up to the Chi
nese-Japanese war. While ON the AS
iatic station, he reached the retiring
age, July, 1894, and was ordered home.
