Curiosities of Cofee.

Coffee, as experts are aware, has
very extraordinary property. 1t is one
of the most absorbent matters in ex-
istence. Coffee beans placed in damp
room swell and absorb moisture till
they nearly double their weight. Here
Is the chance of the dishonest grocer.
Not content with the amount of profit
made upon coffee, he places pals Of
water in room with piles of uncover
ed coffee beans, and by swelling the
coffee adds something like 80 per cent
to his profits. The flavor is ruined, but
that does not matter to him. So alb
sorbent is coffee, not only of moisture,
but of gases and favors, that shippers
of Brazilian coffee always stipulate
that the sacks of fresh Rio beans shall
never be carried on a steamer which
has raw hides as any part of her cargo
These will taint the coffee more surely
than anything else and rsnder it unfit
for use. The useful side of this quality
of coffee is that in a sickroom a hand
full or two Of fresh roasted and ground
beans act as an excellent purifier and
deodorizer-Washington Post.

Trade Sipna

On nearly all street corners even In
the largest metropolis of Europe nav
be found relics of the middle ages and
of the earliest times. Take, for in
stance, the wooden image of a shoe.
which every cobbler hangs out above
his door. 1t goes back for its origin to
the Rome of the pre- Christian era. In
the ruins of the lava buried cities Of
Herculaneum and Pompeii many shop
signs of stone and terra Gotta have
been discovered, the forerunners of
those that for centuries adorned the
highways not only of Europe, but of
the new world. Among them was the
emblem Of the shoemakers trade. q
Cupid carrying a dainty pair of wo-
mems shoes. But the Romans did not
stop there. They used the image of
goat to indicate the dairies, that Of
mule driving a mill to point out the
bakers shops and a bush of evergreen
to direct the thirsty traveller to a tav-
ern. This particular sign gave rise to
the English proverb, Good wine needs
no BUSH"
