ART OF MAKING COFFEE.
How the Turks Prepare the Bever-
age to Preserve Fragrance.

The great secret of the fragrance of
foreign coffee is hat it is almost al
ways freshly roasted, as well as fresh
iy ground, which naturally makes a
great difference. Coffee is not difficult
to make as long as the maker grasps
the facts that besides fresh good cof-
fee, the water used must be absolutely
and freshly boiling, and that the cof-
fee itself must never be allowed to
boil.
Try it thus: Into an ordinary perco-
lator put the coffee, allowing from two
to three tablespoonfuls to each (short)
half pint of water. Then pour owe
his the necessary amount of boiling
water leave it till this water has
all drained through. The coffee pot
should be stood on the stove or in a
painful of boiling watert TO keep it hot
While percolating.
If you desire TO cook it in the sim
plest fashion, try the Turkish method.
For this you should properly have a
special pan, rather taller and more
slender than the ordinary saucepan.
and wider at the base than at the
mouth, but on al emergency a nice
delicately clean saucepan will answer
admirably.
Into this pan put a full teaspoonful
of coffee for each person. and one over
for the pot: now nearly fill the pan
with boiling water. and let IL Just boil
! up, snatching it off the fire at once
( before it has time to boil over, and
repeat this boiling up twice more, add
ing after the third and last boil a tea
! spoonful of cold water. and let it stand
for a few minutes to settle, after which
pour it off carefully and free from al
sediment.
The secret Of this method lies ir
choosing your pan just of the proper

amount being reckoned at one tea

IMMUNE FROM II
Arabs, 1t Is Said, Are Practically
Free From This Disease.

Some Frenchman OF other read a pa
per before the Paris Society of Biology
recently which makes the statement
hat the Arabs are practically immune
from typhoid fever. That is to say,
an Arab can bear any kind of exposure
TO typhoid fever without taking il.
They account for this peculiar bodily
condition Of the from the fact
hat ever since his early infancy he
has been reared on impure drinking
water, which, in the countries where
the Arabs abound, is notably bad. 1t
is saturated with all sorts of contamin-
alton.
This has had the effect of wedding
out the weaker ones and leaving only
those to live who can stand typhoid
fever germs. The grown Arab, there
fore, is able to bear exposure that
would give a European typhoid fever
at once. This. however, is not intend
ed as any argument for the use of
impure drinking water. 1t only shows
that the human system is capable of
adjusting itself to unfavorable condi-
tons.
But while the Arab is immune from
typhoid fever, he is especially suscept-
ibTe to consumption. This fact is ac-
counted for by the reason that he has
been accustomed to the very pure air
of the mountains, n When exposed
TO the climate of Europe he quickly
succumbs to consumption. He can
stand III drinking water but he can
| not stand our climate.
The whole subject of national sus-
ceptibility and unsusceptibility to dis
ease is a very interesting me 1t may
be after all that climate. which is
so peculiarly provocative of catarrh
Will at last produce a race of people
that will be practically immune from
catarrh. We hope so. at least. A.
present it is a national disease and
nearly everyone has it.
The very best authorities on chronic
catarrh state that there is such a thing
as immunity from this disease. The
cold bath every morning, gargIing the
throat with cold water. spldshing TIT
neck and chest with cold water-if thii
is practiced thoroughly every morning

mune from catarrh.
Padding tie feet every evening il
cold water might also be added to thii
regimen. This practice hardens tn
nervous system against the vicissitudei

STORMS AND STREET CARS.
The Precautions Used During Electric
Disturbances.
Lafayette, Ind, Times.)

16LN 49, A-1-1 [--NN(
Thunder storms are not looked up
on with great favor by street car mo-
tormen," said one of the employees the
other day. During a thunder storm
at any time of the day the lights in
the trolley cars are always turned on,
by order of the company. There are
two reasons for it-one is for the pro-
lection of the passengers When the
lights are on and the a is at a stand
still the trolley pole becomes a light
ming rod.
When a car is in motion the cleo
trio current, which leaves the power
house and is carried along on the troll
ley wire, passes down through a wire
in the trolley pole into the motors of
the ar, setting them in motion. and
then down through the wheels into the
rails, by which the current eturns to
the power house. Thus the trolley
wire, the car and the rails form a com
pIete circuit. Whsn a car is at a
standstill the connection between the
trolley and the motor is cut off. break
ing the circuit. However, turning on
the lights has the same effect as put
ting the a in motion-that is, ii
completes the circuit. That is the
reason why the lights are-on during
a thunder storm.
SHOULD lightning strike a trolley
wire the flood of current would be car
nried with a rush to the cares car.
If this car should be in motion or the
lights be turned on so hat the circuit
with the rails is complete, there would
be a chance that the extra current of
the ~Iightning's stroke would pass down
the trolley pole and through the car
into the rails without doing any harm.
The principle is the same as h a of a
\ li1htpiur rod which carries the elpc-
trfcity into the ground But when
there is no connection the current of q
bolt of lightning would burn out the
( motors of the car, and if strong enough
would shatter the car and injure the
nennle Mhn might be riding in It"
