HOW TURKS MAKE COFFEE
1t Isn't Easy, but the Product Is De
IightfuI In Its Flavor.

1t Isn't Easy, but the Product Is De-
Iightful In Its Flavor.
To make the perfect cup Of Turk ish
coffee is. like many other things. very
easy when the maker knows how to
do it, but unless the art has been learn
ed in Turkey it is difficult.
No one can make d perfect cup OF
coffee unless he has been to Turkey
There is as much difference between
the ordinary cup Of coffee and the
exquisite and alluring beverage with
all it's subtle aroma as made by the
artist as there is between horsefesb
and the best English beef. The Turks
method is simple. They have many
little pots Of various Sizes If they
want to make two cups only they use
the smaller one, and if three cups y
larger one. When the water has boile0
they fill the little pot almost to the top
with water. then put in three lun ps
of sugar and put the pot on the fire to
boil. When it is hot they put in two
teaspocnfuls of coffee ground very ne
and then stir it round until it is thor-
oughly mixed with the water.
The next step is to place the pot 90
the fire again and watch It very are
fully until the coffee bubbles up to @
froth. and before this froth ESCAPES
over the side you take the pot from iAe
fire and tap the bottom gently on the
stove till the froth goes down. Once
again the coffee is allowed to bubble
over the fire, and the process of tap
ping the pot on the stove is repeated
three times
When the froth rises to the surface
for the fourth time the pot should oe
taken from the fire and the co1ne
should be poured first into one cup u:d
then into another, so that each cnp
contains portion of the froth on tie
top.
The Englishman cannot make coffee
at all. He tries hard, but never sue.
ceeds either in making a perfect GRIP
Of Turkish or French coffee. Tie
Frenchman, on the other hand. all
tries hard to make a perfect cup Of
Turkish coffee, but he meets with 1t
tie more success than the Englishman 4.
One thing must never be forgotten
the coffee must be freshly roasted and
ground. 1t must not be roasted to
black. A dark brown is the ideal co!o,'.
Then the favor is divine. = Bostcl

THE Willy RED MAN.

Some Instances of the Indians
Quickness of Wit.
Numerous instances of the red mans
Quickness Of wit are related by those
who have had dealings with him. A
Canadian chief was looking idly on
while some Englishmen were hard at
work improving property newly acquir-
ed from the dusky tribe.
"Why don't you work." asked the SUI
pervisor Of the chief.
"Why you no work yourself?" was
the rejoinder.
81 work headwork," replied the white
man, touching his forehead. But come
here and kill this calf for me, and II!
give you quarter"
The Indian stood still for a moment.
apparently deep in thought. and then
he went off to kill the calf.
"Why don't you finish your job?'
presently asked the supervisor, seeing
the man stand with folded arms over
the unskinned. undressed carcass.
"You say you give me quarter to
kill calf" was the reply. Calf dead.
Me want quarter"
The white man smiled and handed
the Indian an extra coin to go on with
the work.
"How is it," asked the Englishman
one day after a series of such one sided
dealings. that you so often get the
better of me?'
II work headwork." solemnly replied
the man of the woods.
A white trader once succeeded in
selling large quantity of gunpowder
to one of this tribe ca the assurance
that it was a new kind that the white
man used for seed and if sown in es-
pecially prepared loan would yield an
amazing crop. Away went the Indian
to sow his powder and in his hope Of
making money from his fellows was
careful not to mention his enterprise
When at last however. he realized how
he had been duped he held his tongue
for year or more until the trickster
had completely forgotten the occur
renee. Then he went to his hoaxer's
store and bought goods on credit
amounting to a little more than the
price of the planted gunpowder. He
had the reputation of good payer. and
his scheme worked easily. When set
Ting day came, the creditor called
promptly.
