Art Of Making Coffee.
Philadelphia Record.


Whatever may be the difference In opinion
as to the merits of cold or boiling water in
making coffee or the degree of strength de-
sirable in the decoction, or the best method
of clearing the liquid, there can be no ques-
ton as to the desirability of using fresh
water and clean utensils, and preserving the
delicious aroma, by care in keeping the
coffee air tight and not dissipating 1t by long
boiling.
The first requisites are secured by having
a small. smooth kettle or saucepan. kept
expressly for this purpose, and which should
be secured with mineral soap whenever any
scum is left on the sides. and wiped dry
every time 1t Is used and by using fresh
water right from the pump, or IL from the
faucet. allowed TO run some minutes, and
used as soon as IL boils.
Coffee should be kept In air-tight jars or
cans. anc distributed in several small jars,
rather than a large amount In one jar, as
the daily opening no doubt wastes much Of
the aroma.
