Arabian Coffee.

The Arabian coffee maker, having
prepared his fire of charcoal and placed
near it huge pot containing water.
takes a few handfuls of green coffee
berries. carefully culls out all imper-
feet berries and foreign substances and
then places the best of the berries in
an iron ladle held over the fire. The
berries are permitted to roast until
they begin to smoke, and are then,
while still uncharred, placed in a small
mortar and carefully brayed with a
pestle closely fitting the cup of the
mortar.
The berries are not. however, re-

DOGS of War

There are numerous Instances on rec
ord where dogs have displayed won
derful intelligence in war, when car
rying messages while in action and
when acting as carriers to points or
stations at a distance. An officer of
my acquaintance. while campaigning
against Indians in the Northwest.
would always collect a few dogs from
each settlement he passed through and
take them along to the country of the
hostiles. When important to send back

and why they are dangerous. 1t is well
known that stables are great nurseries
Of flies. 1t seems hopeless to attempt
to regulate stables SO that flies won't
breed in them, but a good deal can be
done by the use Of knowledge and of
sense: and where stables are SO placed
that their flies are particularly annoy
ing the use of chloride of lime will help
matters very much. The great central
truth about flies and the danger from
them seems to he, the cleaner the place
the fewer the flies and the less danger
from those that are there. Common
flies do not secrete poison; they merely
carry 1t. Don't leave any pois II around
where they can get at it. Bury filth:
keep garbage in proper receptacles, and
remove 1t promptly.

ARTISTIC TIN VASES.

Several women in Germany are now
making beautiful and artistic orna-
ments and household utensils out of
tin. Apparently the first to utilize
her talents in this direction was Frau
Clara Hoppenrath, of Berlin. She fash
ioned artistic tin vases, and since then
she has made a beautiful imitation of
a cluster of silver thistles. which has
been bought by the King Of Roumania.
Tin Is an easy metal to manipulate.
and any woman who Is Il good artist
will have little difficulty in shaping 1t
as she desires. The design must first
be carefully drawn on the tin. or rather

cut out. Only few tools are needed
for the work. and the necessary skill
In their use can soon be acquired. AS
