Making Coffee.

No coffee should be boiled. The
secret is to bring it to the boiling
point, then keeping just below that
degree of heat to extract the flavor of
the oils without fear of changing its
very nature by boiling. Use pot
that is shining and spotless inside as
well as out, preferring the white
enameled lining, with the nosepiece
to retain the steam. The rule is one
tablespoonful to each cup, with lone
for the pot" This method requires
the shell of an egg at least, or a small
portion of raw egg. The true agent
for clarifying lies in the inside skin
of the egg shell, or in the white of the
egg. Wash all eggs before breaking,
when the shells may be saved for use
in making coffee. Be careful not to
use too much egg, as it coats the
coffee, making it impervious to water.
This is a principal cause for failures.
and Is wasteful, as more coffee is
needed. IN family of four, one egg
should be divided to use for making
coffee four times.-St. Louis Post
Dispatch.
