HOW TO MAKE A
CUP OF COFFEE
Expert Describes the Manner
in Which Perfection May
Be Reached.
From the Washington Sta,

FROM the Washington Star.
There are several points in the making
Of good coffee that must he borne in
mind. The coffee itself must be a good
article and freshly roasted. The pot in
which it is made must he imnnaculately
clean. The water should he freshly
boiled, the "sparkle' stin in ii. The cof-
fee must not be boiled longer than i min
utes and still better if it is kept just be
low the boiling point. If allowed to s1anC
and boil the aroma is lost, and the bitter
fannie acid that spoils the taste and ir-
fltates the stomach is extracted. Lastly.
the coffee must be We'll scented and al

ent upon the dealer, as there is often no
choice. Most people prefer the proper
ton of one-third Mocha to two-thirds
Java. but the Mocha does not always
come from Arabia, nor the Java from the
island of that name. The best coffee is
1ermented. The berry is surrounded by a
pulp like a cherry or cranberry. When
fermenteda a time thin film is formed which
no machine can take off.
Coffee may be roasted and ground at
nome If preferred: but ii is now usually
quite as we'll to buy the coffee already
roasted and to grind it as needed.
There are several ways of making cof-
Zee, but the most common method is boil
ing.
Allow one heaping Tablespoonful OF cof-
fee to each cup of boiling water. Scald
out the coffee pot with boiling water. Put

where 1t will keep hot. but not boil.
n few spoonfuls of cold water. pour out
a little of the coffee in a cup and
back into the pot again, to clear the spout
OF the grounds, and let it stand undis-
,urbed for five or ten minutes to settle.
Then serve as quickly as possible, as it
deteriorates If left standing.
Drip or filtered coffee is made in any
double coffee pot fitted With one or more
strafners. Allow one cupful of cof-
fee, ground very fine. to a quart of water.
Measure out the coffee and heat it in
81 saucepan until it steams, stirring con-
1lnually. This brings out the flavor. Then
place the coffee In a strainer. pour the
boiling water in and allow il to drip slow
~ through the coffee. Repeat his process
a second time. Then bring the coffee to
the boiling point and serve. Some claim
that cold water filtered two or three times
through the coffee and then brought to
the boiling point gives the strongest and
best flavor, but this Of necessity takes
much time and attention.

there vas no cience about this; It
was just plain drumming it into his
head in the way that they do for the
animal shows. OF all the traits shown
by "Raiah.' none WAS more engaging
than his love for his keeper. He would
stretch out his arms like IL big baby
to be picked up and carried, and he
was the happiest similar in the house
when he got what he wanted.
One day five monkeys were taken
sick at once and no one seemed to
know just what the trouble was. Final

form of bacteria from the n~eighboring
turtle pen had infected them. Three Of
the monkeys had already died. "Ra-

spite of everything the fever gradually
got the better Of him.
In the semidarkness, one night. the
keeper came in to see how "Rajah" was
