the pirates were employed in bringing
eff the more valuable and useful of
the commodities in the Portuguese
ship. At two bells, FIVE o'clock, the
briggs mainhatch was closed and the
boats belonging to her hoisted, but the
briggs topsail was still kept aback.
The pirates went to supper in the
'tweei,-decks. and Pope and Crystal
watched the topsail schooner that had
now dwindled into the size of a child's
toy.

The secret of GOOD coffee.

Most Americans boil coffee In &
pot over hot fire. but that is not the
right way to make 1t. Nobody makes
better coffee than the old negroes Of
the West Indies. They are famous
for 1t, SO IL you want good coffee try
their way.
Put the coffee in an enameled pot,
pour the boiling water on it,. cover
it up, and then let 1t just come to the
boil again. Do not let it stand. but
strain 1t at once through clean bag
made of flannel. The quantity Of
coffee used should be one tablespoon,
full to each breakfast cup.
Never use condensed milk with cot
fee unless you want to spoil it, Always
serve and drink it hot.
