TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE.
Bureau of Agriculture at Washington
to Make Experiments.

Realizing that coffee is the beverage
of the great majority of people, both
rich and poor. and that its quality and
its influence upon the human system
depend to a great extent upon its
mode of preparation, the agricultural
department has decided to devote
much time in the coming winter to
ascertain the best method to produce
an ideal cup of coffee. A chemical
expert who has made the subject Of
coffee growing and making a special
study will be employed for the pur-
pose.
It is the contention of the depart
ment that the production of a cup of
way it is made than upon the grade
of coffee bean employed. Not only
will all the known methods of coffee
making be employed in the expert
ments, but scientific measures will be
used to determine with the utmost ex-
actness the effects produced upon the
coffee bean from the time it leaves
the plantation, through the process of
roasting and grinding, and lastly in
the brewing of the beverage. What
promises to be a most interesting
feature of the experiments will be the
testing of the method employed in the
western part of Sumatra of using the
leaves of the coffee plant instead of
the berries The method in vogue in
Cuba of making coffee by cold water
infusion, though supposed to elm
mate the undesirable tannic element
has been found by the department eX-
pert to contribute in reality little or
nothing to that effect The process
employed by the celebrated coffee
makers of Paris, Vienna and Con-
stantinople will be used, in so far as
they are known. It is recognized
fact. however, that some of the adopts
possess secret methods which they hey
will not disclose, as, for instance. tlae
famous Egyptian coffee maker of the
king of England.
Like everything else, coffee has a his
tory. and if the accounts concerning 1t
which originate from the Orient are
trustworthy, it has an ancient as well
as interesting. though somewhat check
cred career. The legend runs that conee
was found growing wild in Arabia by
Hadji Omar, deTvish, 617 years ago.
He was dying of hunger in the desert
when. finding some small, round berries
he tried to eat them. but they were bit
ter. After roasting them he finally
STEPPED them in some water held in the
hollow Of his hand. finding the decoe-
tion as refreshing as If he had partaken
Of solid food He hurried back to

A pocketbook which was lost several
days ago by a young lady, and which
contained quite little sum of money,
was recovered, yesterday. by Deputy
Marshal Hanks. and restored to the
owner, together with the most of the
contents, although a few dollars were
missing. The pocketbook was lost on
the street and was picked up by man,
who at once placed it in his pocket.
The act was seen by another man, VINO
later reported the matter to the deputy
marshal, but as only the first name of
the man who picked up the pocketbook
was known to the one who saw him,
the clue was not a very plain one. Mr..
Hanks, however, conducted q still hunt,
and on locating the man, Monday
called on him at the place where he was
employed and recovered the lost pro-
perty with the exception of what the
man had spent. The loss had been
advertised in the Journal but the man
claimed that he had not seen the
advertisement, and the only excuse
that he had to offer was that he had
supposed that the pocketbook had been
lost by some rich woman. The young
lady who owned the pOcketboOk was so
thankful at having it restored to her
that she decided to take no action
against the man who had found it and
had spent portion of the contents.
