Black Coffee.

Black after dinner coffee is usually
made exactly like that taken for breakfast
and made by f1ltering. steaming or boiling,
save that double the proportion of the
beans Is used. Two heaping tablespoonsful
coffee to each cup of water. 1t should be
strong and perfectly clear. Serve in small
cups with block sugar. AS after dinner
coffee is used a digestant neither cream
nor milk should be added. There Is a
growing fancy for making the regular
Turkish coffee for the Sunday dessert, but
1t Is extremely ''puttery' work as only
small cups are made at a time. The essen
tiais for the Turkish coffee are one of the
Turkish coffee mills of brass that grind the
bean as fine as powder and one of the tiny
Turkish coffee pots that can now be found
In any of the housefurnishng stores To
make the coffee in these. put pot con-
tanning freshly boiled water on the fire
with two or three Jumps OF sugar. Add
two teaspoonfuls Of coffee powder to the
water. which Is just enough for two after
dinner cups. stir well and let the pot boil
up four times. Between each boil the Dot
Is taken from the stove and tapped gently
on the bottom until the froth appears on
the top Then return to the fire until 1t
boils again. 1t requires very close watch
ing. After the last boiling, pour off the
co1ee from the sediment first into one cup
then in another, so as to divide the froth
evenly.
Have more boiling water in readiness and
repeat the operation until all are served.

Let the shaddocks stand in the refrig-

Some Automobile Geography.

Nor is America the only scene of automo-
bile development. The car Is sweeping the
world. At the Berlin show there were $50
exhibits by 81 manufacturers. as COM
pared with 800 exhibits by 29s exhibitors
in 1905. OF the number of exhibitors in
1905. 1888 were German. II French. 4 Ital-
ian and American. And here, too, at the
Berlin show, refinement Of the details Of
construction-in design. In motors, and in
methods Of transmission-was the feature
the trend everywhere noticeably being to-
ward simplicity.
Although Great Britain has Jagged be-
hind France. Germany. and America In au-
tomobile manufacturing, yet this last win
ter's show at London gave evidence of very
great progress made in the last two years
British cars speaking generally, are not
yet to be compared with those of the lead
ing manufacturers of the other countries
They have not attained to the mechanical
simplicity, nor to the refinement of gen.
eral structure, but they are coming The
feature of the recent show was the appear
ance of number of six-cyIinder cars

attention to this style, which, however, ap-

Hotel Where Charlotte Corday Stopped

rom lhe LONDON Cl0De.
good deal Of old Paris Is disappearing
just now, and among the latest bits of the
antique city to be threatened Is the little
spot upon which Charlotte Corday found
heeting place of rest as she entered the
city on her errand of death.
1t stands on the street which prior to the
days Of the revolution had been known as
that of the Vieux Augustins. 1t now is the
Rue d'Argout. The building is the Hotel
de la Providence. Charlotte arrived in Paris
from Caen on July 8. 1903 slept at the hotel
on that and the following night, and on the
morning of the 18th walked quietly out of
1t to slay the monster Marat
The bed room Is still pointed out which
the Norman heroine occupied. and some re-
greet is felt that the place has to be demol-
lshed. But the march OF progress is merci-
less The buildings are needed to extend
the Rue du Louvre and soon human feet
will tramp on the spot where the Norman
heroine slept her last calm sleep of maiden
freedom.

Yesterday morning over twenty trees
which few years ago were planted in
front of the cathedral were found to have
been cut down. The night was a calm
one, with brilliant moonlight, and the trees
were standing al 1 o'clock in the morning.
Hundreds of windows have an outlook
on the spot, and many people who were
still astir at 3 o'clock in the morning did
not hear the slightest sound outside. Yet
an hour later every tree had been de-
stroyed. The police are bafled.

Little Russia in Foxcroft will be no more In

that none will be left here by summer.

worked on their FARMS in the woods and at

can perhaps be made with less labor.
