OLD TIME COFFEE.

Tho way TO brew the beverage as
They Did In 1862.
An old cookbook, published in 1862.
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 druggists, about shillings the
pound. Take what quantity you please.
and over a charcoal fire in an old fry
ing pan keep them always stirring I'M
til they be quite black, and when you
crack one with your teeth that It is
black within as 1t is without, yet If
you exceed. then do not waste the
Oyl. and II less, then will It not de-
liver its Oyl. and If you should con.
tinue IRE till 1t be white it will then
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 AT for use. Take
one quart Of this prepared water. put
it in one ounce Of your prepared co,
fee and boil it gently one honr, anc
it is for your use. Drink one quar-
ter Of a pint as hot rs you can sip it.
1t doth abate the fury and sharpness
Of the Acrimony. which is the gender
Of the Diseases called Cronical."-

Vogue ofLace

Among the most effective afternoon
costumes for summer are the gowns
either coat or waist and skrt-of real
or imitation Irish point, or cotton gui-
pure lace.
These gowns are more easily made up
when procured in the robe and simply
fitted to the figure The robes are now
to be seen at most of the shops, and
II is we'll worth while getting one or
two dresses OF this style. as they are
sure to be fashionable, and, when well
made, are extremely handsome.
The skirts are practically all alike
long or short, as may be desired--but
Jackets are to be had in any OF the
styles prevalent among spring coats.
That is, in the robe, material is pro-
vided which may be made up in almost
any fashion. Perhaps the favorite
model for this lace coat is the new boz
lero with full puff sleeves. With this
must be worn an exceedingly attract
i've and dainty waist Of fine embroider-
ed batiste on of some thin texture which
at the same time coinincides with the
material of the gown.

He and Several Others Failed TO
Note an Absurd Error.
Banks are notoriously careful about
scrutinizing the signatures to checks
on which they pay out money, yet. as
the following incident well illustrates,
1t is possible for even the most care
ful and experienced Of paying tellers
to make mistakes. The incident is the
more remarkable because it reveals
most curious error on the part Of
prominent business man as we'll as an
astonishing lapse in the case OF a usu-
ally accurate and scrupulously exact
bank official
Among the deposltors at one OF the
largest banks in the city is an old and
prominent firm which may be called,
for the purposes Of this relation,
Aloysius Jenkins & Co. All checks Is
sued by the firm are signed In person
by Aloysius Jenkins. its head, so that
his handwriting and signature are
thoroughly familiar to the bank Off
GERS at whose bank he has deposited
for twenty years or more.
During the first week Of this month
Mr.. jenkins got notice from the bank
that a check signed for $500 in his
handwriting. but signed Aloysius
Smith & Co., had been paid by the
bank during the previous month and
the sum paid out charged against his
account. Aloysius Jenkins was per
fectly certain that be had never made
such foolish mistake as that He
sent over for the check 1t needed on
" a glance to show him that be had
written It and the signature really was
Aloysius Smith q Co. he called up
the people to whom the check was
payable and whose Endorsement was
on its back. They had not noticed the
mistake at all. 1t had passed through
the hands Of their cashier and Of 9th
er employees and had been by them
sent to the bank. where It had been
credited TO their account without ques-
tion, passing the sharp eyes OF the pay
ing teller and only being discovered by
accident nearly thirty days afterward.
Six or more experienced and expert
business men had let that absurd mis-
take get by without detecting It. II
was almost beyond belief. The only
more ridiculous thing about It all was
the fact that he had missigned his own
firm name BY referring 10 bis letter
book for the day the check was dated
be discovered that he had been busy
just then in closing up an important
deal with a man named Smith. That
was the only possible explanation for
his slip. He has had the Cancelled

Amusia is a form OF aphasia which
prevents the patient from remember

of the oddly, sang the "Marseillaise"

aphasiac, also a Frenchman, could

The sewing IN the kimono consists Of
one small and one long stitch. a species
Of artistic bast'ng. There Is reason in
this, for whenever the kimono is wash
ed II is ripped 10 pieces. This is per
haps why the Japanese, who battle
daily. wear such dirty clothes, while
the Chinese, who battle sometimes,
wear such clean clothes. The kimono
strips are dnbbed up and down with
out soap. scrubbed with a brush and
are ironed by drying them carefully on
boards One OF the sights Of a town
are these boards, with their strips OF
silk leaning against the sides OF the
houses.
The peasant women not only do the
housework, but out Of door work as

When Theodore Parker FIRST visited
Cincinnati, at that time the recognized
leader among western cities, he said
that he had made a great discovery
namely, that while the aristocracy Of
Cincinnati was unquestionably found
ed on pork it made great difference
whether a man killed pigs for himself
or whether his father had killed them.
The one was held plebeian, the other
patrician. 1t was the difference, Par
ker said. between the stick ems and

Useful Hints

In running strings through curtains that
have been laundered, use a safety pin in
stead OF bodkin. and the curtains will
not tear so readily.
open fires arc better than stoves in
nursery, as stoves dry the atmosphere too
much.
Wash pewter in right hot water with
some fine silver sand, then polish with a
leather.
silk pocket handkerchiefs should be
washed by themselves. Soak in cold water
for an hour or SO, then regularly wash
them until stains have disappeared When
clear, rinse in soft, cold water i'm which
about a cup of salt has been dissolved
Rinse again in water that contains little
blulng.
A lump Of sugar, saturated with viaegar
will cure hiccoughs.
