ANCIENT COFFEE.
The Way the Beverage Was BPewoA
In the Seventeenth Centurx.

In the Seventeenth Century.
There are in existence in Great
Britain few copies of an ancient
cookbook, published in 1862, that gives
what is perhaps the first English recipe
for coffee. The recipe reads:
ITO make the drink that is now much
used, called coffee.
THE coffee 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, keep them always stir
ring until they be quite black, and
when you crack one with your teeth
that it is black within as it is without,
yet If you exceed, then do you waste
the Oyl. and if less, then will it not de-
liver its Oyl; and il you should con-
tinue fire till it be white, it will then
make no coffee. but only give you its
salt Beat and force through q lawn
sieve.
Take clear water, and boil one-third
Of it away, and it is it 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 1t II 1T
for your use; drink one-quarter Of .
pint as hot as you can sip it. 1t doth
abate the fury and sharpness Of the
Acrimony, which is the gender Of the
Diseases called Cronical"

Justice Two Centuries Too Late.
In October. 1885. Roger Williams be-
cause OF his inspiring pleas FOR individ-
ual liberty was ordered by the general
court Of Massachusetts TO leave the
colony forever. He went to Rhode Is
land. where he lived for nearly fifty
years. But the official conscience grew
a little restless. and some years ago
i'm April, 9-Massachusetts actually
made atonement for its rash act. The
original papers. yellow, faded and
crumbling, were taken from their pi-
geonhole tomb and "by an ordinary
motion, made, seconded and adopted"
the order of Punishment was solemnly
"annulled and repealed and made Of no
effect whatever"
The ban under which Roger Williams
had lain for over 260 years was lifted.
And there is no reason now. according
to law. why Roger Williams cannot en-
ter the state Of Massachusetts and re-
side therein. The action was to the
credit and honor Of the state; 1t was
right In its spirit. and Roger. being In
the spirit for more than two centuries.
