Coffee is perhaps the most extensive

not take the trouble to find out wheth-
err their coffee is genuine or not. Arti-
fetal coffee beans used to be manufac-
tured with cOnsummate care, but now

quantities and to some extent from
France. But American manufacturers,
realizing the profit to be made in the
trade, entered the field and now make
better limitations than any that are to
be imported. Flour or almost any
cereal Is mixed with molasses and
nodded to resemble the bean and then
roasted and colored. Sometimes chicory
or burned sugar forms a part Of the

err But the general was nearly so
years old before he acquired the taste
for tobacco. Previous to that time
smoking made him i'll.
During the early '7Os he was en-
gagged as counsel in a celebrated case,
and was compelled to devote not only
the day but the greater part of the
night to his task. Once when he was
thoroughly tagged out an associate
suggested that a cigar with his coffee.
might have a soothing effect. General
Tracy succumbed to the temptation,
and before he was aware of it had fin
ished his third cigar. They seemed to
quiet his nerves, and he was able to
work over his papers the whole Of that
night. Since that time, perhaps out Of
gratitude for the effect of those three
cigars, General Tracy has been a
smoker.-Philadelphia Post.
