COFFEE MAKING IN 1862.
Process of That Time Was to Boil
for One Hour Until Fit
for Use.

Sir Thomas Upton has among the
treasures of his library an old cook
book, published in 1862, that gives what
is perhaps the first English recipe for
coffee, says the Detroit Free Press. The
recipe reads:
''To make the drink that Is now much
used, called coffee.
"The coffee berries are to be bought
at any druggist, about seven shillings to
the pound. Take what quantity you
please, and over a charcoal fire, In an
old frying pan, keep them always stir
ring until they be quite black, and when
you crack one with your teeth that it 1s
black within as it is without, yet it you
exceed, then do you waste the oyl, and
II less, then will 1t not deliver its oyl;
and if you should continue fire till 1t DC
white, 1t will theI. make no coffee, but
only give you its salt. Beat and force
through a lawn sieve.
take clear water, and boil one-third
of it away, and it is fit for use. Take
one quart of this prepared water, put In
it one ounce OF, your prepared coffee, and
boil It gently one hour, and it is fit for
your use; drink one-quarter OF pint as
hot as you can sip it.

POPULAR INDIAN PETE
NOW SO YEARS OLD
Red Man Who Is Well Known In This
Vicinity.

A. Decker writes the following in
the Sunday Sentinel about Indian
Pete, a we'll known character in this
city: Indian Pete is the most promi
nent Indian on the Wisconsin river.
He has always been highly respected,
not only among his own tribe, the
Chippewa, but among the whites OF
the past forty years. From Merrill to
Rhinelander has been his fishing,
hunting and trapping grounds for
more than sixty years. Pete's oldest
brother was the first Indian buried in a
coffin in northern Wisconsin. He was
buried in Big Eddy, close to Merrill,
in the old Indian burying ground.
which was prominent land mark to
rivermen in the early days.
''The late Mr.. Bradley of Tomahawk
took deep interest in Pete for many
years. He frequently promised him
that at his death he should be buried
like his brother in good coffin and
by the white people. This always
seemed to be great comfort to Pete,
but he is now SO years old and bids
fair to endure for several winters at
least.
"Pete is proud of being Chippewa.
and he is confident that his tribe are
the only good Indians in the north
woods. Nothing will arouse his indig-
nation as to even question his being a
Chippewa. And the least intimation
that he looks or acts like Sioux is to
him challenge for trouble.
"Pete is now living with Johnn lie
Thompson, his son-in-law, on the bank
of Rice river, three miles from Hefford
Junction. He is still a familiar figure
on the streets of Tomahawk when the
weather is not too warm or cold. He
seems to have life pass on the differ
ent lines Of railroad, as no fare is asked
or collected Of him. Should you meet
Pete on the streets and stop to have
a word with him he will shake your
hand hearty, then say, ''Merry Christ
mas, ten cents" And it's many a
ten cents he gets in this way. And it
doesn't 60 for whiskey, either. 1t
was a common sight, when Mr.. Brad
ley was living, to see him take Pete by
the arm, lead him into the Mitchell
hotel and fill his pockets with the
best the house could afford.
"It is quite treat to hear Pete tell
of his trapping exhibitions along the
Wisconsin river more than sixty years
ago. He states that even seventy-fye
years ago the Hudson Bay Fur COM
pany and the Catholic missionary
were quite common in the north
woods.
"Pete'S first wife's name was jim
anan, and she died and was buried in
birch bark coffin at Big Eddy more
than forty years ago."

STOLE WATCH
AND BEERS
H. j. Ordell and Robert Wilken.
son Relieve Matt Farrell of
Watch Saturday.
UNKNOWN MEN ROBBED
WAREHOUSE AND SALOON
Forty-Eieht Bottles and Two
Kegs OF Beer=-$l2 Taken From
Slot Machines.

II. j. Ordell, a picture agent, and
Robert WilkenSOn were arrested
Saturday afternoon for stealing a
watch from Matt Farrell, in the rear
of Jake Lutz's saloon. The two men
had been seen scuffiing with Farrell
and then suddenly leave him.
Farrell then entered the saloon and
someone noticing his watch chain
hang out of his pocket asked, "Matt,
where is your watch?"
Mr. Lutz Immediately started in
pursuit OF Ordell and Wilkenson. At
the bridge he communicated his sus-
picions to Officer Gibson and the two
then went up Cranberry street..
Ordell was found in front of w. G.
Scott's jeweler store while Wilkenson
was inside trying to pawn a watch. Not
succeeding in this he left the store and
was at once arrested by Officer Gibson.
Wilkinson said: "Here is the watch
alright. / tried to pawn it but that
man Ordell stole it," Ordell was then
also arrested and taken to the city
Jail. They were taken before Justice
Cooper who adjourned the case till
Monday morning.
Yesterday Wilkenson pleaded guilty
to having a share in the robbery.
Ordell pleaded not guilty. His case
was adjourned to the afternoon. At
two O'Clock when the case again came
up, District Attorney Brazeau asked
for an adjournment to Saturday.
Garry off Beers-and Slot Machines.
The watch robbery must have
inspired others to higher feats OF
lawlessness. Early Sunday morning
some men robbed 1he Ruder Brewing
company's warehouse and took away
forty-eight bottles and two kegs of
beer. Not content with these coolers,
they went to the Pink Front saloon
and smashed two slot machines, la
Nation manner, and carried away a
third. 1t is is estimated that $12
were gathered up. The stolen slot
machine contained one cent.
The men broke into the Central car
house and secured tools for the opera
tion. The strong locks of the brewing
company'S ware house were pried open
with heavy iron rods. 1t is believed
that they used the same instruments
in breaking the slot machines.
Some of the beer bottles and iron
rods were found north Of the St. Paul
depot, on Cranberry street, pointing
to the probability that the robbers
had taken that street as the avenue
of escape.

Summer and Watch Crystals.

whats the matter with your crys-
tais?" asked the summer man of the
jeweler "You put a new crystal on my
watch last week, and it's broken. Is ii
the heat?" The Broadway matchmaker
carefully brushed the face Of the watch
and started to put in new glass on the
dial. mo; the heat does not affect
crystal" he replied "Glass is not con-
tracted or expanded by hot or cold
weather. You probably carry your
watch in your little trousers pocket next
to your belt. You lean against it and
you help along the business. We put
on more crystals in the hot days of July
and August-and on women's watches,
too-than we do in the other ten months
of the year..

VICTIM OF HYDRO
PHOBIA PASSED AWAY
Emily Heffner Suffered Intensely Before
Death Came,

Miss Emily Heffner, the young wo-
man who was reported to be suffering
from hydrophobia caused by the bite
of dog, died Friday at Mosinee.
Prior to her death she suffered in
tensely, and for many hours quieting
drugs failed to affect her. AS a last
resort she was put in a straight jacket
and heavily guarded by the neighbors.
In the vicinity of Mosinee and in the
village as well steps are being taken

large. The authorities here are in-
creasing their vigilance to stop any
possible spread of the disease.

To this allegation Dr. Brous ardei opposed two indisputable facts. dae termined by analysis and experiaaeas First. that the preservatives employed are used in far larger quantities than the us.

Mans constitution has not been mado for the daily elimination of minute dosem of poison. In this insidious form. of mis- chief may lie some of the blame for our physical degeneracx Apparently the evil is of such sort that international meas ures may be necessary to check 1t.

 uon Of small groups of these units into what are practically student clubs for the solution of specific problems. Some years ago it occurred to a number of eiectricai experts that trains ought to be faster and the immediate result was typical German organization. the .'Studiengeli- schaft fur Elektrische Schnitthahn." or
 Student Association for the Study of High Speed Electrical Transportation.
 This association readily obtained the financial assistance of the two principal German railroad corporations and receiv- ed from the government the use of about fifteen miles of track not far from Ber- lin. The road therefore is neither a mili- tary road. as it has been often referred to in cable despatches, nor Is 1t primarily the work of corporation. It. is in real ity the work of an association of Ger man engineers with the cooperation of the railroad interests on the one hand and of the government on the other"
 The two cars, used on this fifteen mile track-one car having been built by each of the co-operatins corporations are very heavy, weighing 30 or 90 tons and equipped with the most powerful motors. They resemble in 6 general way the cars of an American elevated sys- tenn, although more rounded at the ends and carrying an arrangement by which the rushing air coois the motors and so makes it possible to run them under the
