esting and instructive during the

able information will be found.

DRESS FIVE TIMES A DAY.

Officers of the army ca duty in the
war department wear uniforms the
same as If they were on duty at mill
tary posts. Occasionally an officer is
found who does not appear i'm uniform,
but il is only for day or two at most.
The practice has resulted in making
nearly every room occupied by officers
a dressing room, where wardrobes are
Kept. Most officers dislike very much
10 appear on the street in uniform: il
makes them too conspicuous. Uniforms
Tor use in the department are kept in
a wardrobe, and the officers put them
on when they arrive in the morning,
take them off and don civilian dress TO

the department il is much better. for a

Several attempts have been made to
have an order issued in the navy de-

on duty there to wear their uniforms
but the officers have always made If

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE.

Sir Thomas Upton has among the
treasures OF his library an old cook
hook, published in 1862. that gives what
is perhaps the first English recipes for
coffee. The recipe reads.
ITO make the drink that is now much
used, called coffee.
THE coffte berries are to be bought
at any Druggist. about seven shillings
the pound. Take what quantity you
please, and over a charcoal fire, in an
old frying pan. keel them Ways stir
ring until they be quite black. and
when you crack one with your teeth
that il is black within as ii is without,
yet if you exceed, then do you waste
the Oyl: and if less, then will ii not
deliver its Oyl; and if you should con-
tinue fire till it be white il will then
make no coffee, but only give you it's
salt Beat and force through a lawn
sieve.
Take clear water. and boil one third
of II away, and it is fit for use Take
one quart of this prepared water. put
In II one ounce of your prepared coffee;
and boil it gently one hour. and it IL
fit for your use; drink one-quarter OF
n pint as hot as you can sip it. 1t doth
abate the fury and sharpness of the
Acrimony, which is the gender of the
Disease called Cronical."

of these alligators, for the alligator

But now, with alligators kept for

TO have them dying off on you and
you've got to get 'em to feed somehow;

must, of course. exercise due care, for
you don't want an alligator to bite
your hand off, or anything like that. .
lone way of feeding these larger
alligators is TO stand off at a safe dis

one hand and a chunk of meat in the
