Our ancestors could little imagine
that THAR descendants would be re-

the East and West Indies for the ma

Is observed that while Nathaniel Como

In 1648, he made the drink for his own
use called coffee and usually drank il
every morning, being the first coffee,

him, that was ever drunk In Oxon.
In the year 1850, we learn, Jacob

Cinques Jobson, a Hebrew and JAG
Obite, born near Mount Libanus, sold
coffey In Oxon, and In 1855 Artti Till

In his house against All Souls Coll.
This coffey house continued till his
majesty's return and after, and then
they became more frequent and had

The author of the New View of Lon

coffee house which is now the Rain

1857 presented by the Inquest Of st.
Dunstan's In the west for making and
selling sort Of liquor called coffee as

have thought London would ever have
had near 5000 such nuisances and that
coffee would have been (as now, 1908

In the spring there is almost always
more or less trouble with the udders
OF cows. The best way to avoid this is
to feed no heavy rations for a few
weeks before they begin to give milk
Then wheat bran should be about the
only grain ration. If the bag becomes
caked, rub it often with quite warm
water. If very bad drop little CAM
phor into the water vaseline is also
very good. But keep the rubbing up

The funeral customs among some Of
the Swiss are most peculiar. At the
death of a person the family inserts
formal black edged announcement In
the papers asking for sympathy and
stating that "the mourning urn" will
be exhibited certain hours on special
day. In front of the house where the
person died there is placed little
black table, covered with black cloth,
ON which stands black jar. Into this
the friends and acquaintances of the
family drop little black margined Wis
itlng cards, sometimes with a few
words of sympathy on them. The urn
is put out on the table on the day Of
the funeral. No one except men ever
goes to the churchyard. and they gen.
orally follow the hearse on foot, though
sometimes carriages are used. The
horses that draw the hearse have long
black cloaks on, with places cut out
for them to see through.

In Lapland they have NO salt, and
the bark Of the FIR tree Is used as a
substitute. The Lapps peel the bark
from the trunk of the tree, carefully
remove the epidermis and then divide
the inner bark into quite a number Of
very thin layers. During the brief but
extremely hot Lapland summer the
layers are exposed to the sun until
thoroughly dried; then they are torn in
to narrow strips and placed In boxes
made of fresh bark taken from other
trees. Deep holes are then dug In the
sand, and the bark boxes are buried In
them, where they are allowed to re-
main for about three days. The second
day fires are made over places where
the boxes are buried and kept burning
briskly for several hours. The heat
penetrates deep into the sand, turns
the FIR bark deep red color and gives
to 1t pleasing taste and odor. Finally
the boxes are unearthed, the FIR strips
are pounded or ground into a coarse
powder, and the Lapps use 1t just as
we do salt, only much more sparingly,
because 1t Is SO troublesome to pre-
pare.
