As to the history of coffee, the legend
runs that it was first found growing
wild in Arabia. IIadj Omar, a dervish.
discovered it in l&5, six hundred and
eighteen years ago. He was dying of
hunger in the wilderness when, finding
some small round berries. he tried to
eat them, but they were bitter. lie tried
roasting them, and these he finally
stepped in some water held in the hol-
low of his hand. and found the decoction
as refreshing as ii he had partaken Of
solid food He hurried back to Mocha
from which he had been banished. and
invited the wise men to partake of his
discovery they were so well pleased with
it that they made him saint
The story is told that coffee was intro
duced into the West Indies in 1723 by
Chirac, a French physician, who gave
a Norman gentleman by the name of De
ClieuX, captain of infantry on his way
to Martinique, single plant. The sea
voyage was a stormy one. the vessel
was driven out of her course. and drink
ing water became so scarce that it was
distributed in rations De CleuX, with
an affection for his coffee plant. divided
his portion of water with it, and sue
ceeded in bringing it to Martinique, al
though weak, not in a hopeless condi-
tion. There he planted it in his garden,
protected IL with fence Of thorns, and
watched it daily until the end of the
year. when he gathered two pounds Of
coffee which he distributed among the
inhabitants of the island. to be planted
by them. From Martinique coffee trees
in turn were sent to Santo Domingo.

islands.

which materially increases the cost of
production and does not produce as mar

Yale University plainly has a fond
ness for Bowdoin's professors Of po-
Htleal economy. When Hadey was
made president of Yale that institution
secured Prof. Emery of the Bowdoin
faculty, the brilliant young son of JUS
tice Emery Of the Maine supreme court,
to take the chair of political economy
made vacant by Prof. Hadley's pro-
motion. Prof. Emery's success at New
Haven has been a notable one. and
now Yale comes to Bowdoin and takes
his successor, Prof. Guy S. Calender
to be teacher of political economy in
the Sheffield Scientific school, which is
q part of the university. In these
times, political economy is one Of the
most important and most popular
branches of the curriculum, and the
action OF Yale is a high compliment to
the men and methods of the famous
Brunswick college.
