HOW TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE.

First buy the best coffee, and then-pu
plenty in,"--Old Saying
To have your coffee strong and good,
Some things must first be understood.
For IL you slight one single rule,
Neglect the pot or make too full,
Omit to stir 1t when you ought,
Or use the coffee cheaply bought
Then be quite sure youll not succeed
Who as he runs may often read.
-
Hot water now, --FcT
One cup allow -
To each and ev'ry drinker.
And still one more,
Completes the score
For cen a tariff tinker
Cleanse we'll your pot,
With water hot,
Then use the coffee which is best,
For each a spoon,
Night, morn or noon,
Ten minutes boil will do the rest.
But IL, oh man, the strength be not,
Add still a spoon for coffee pot.
Good Housekeeping.
