This was General JohnstOn's first for
NAL appearance at any of the stations,
and while he suggested some minor i'm
provements and changes about the ar
rangements Of the new building, ne said
he did not see even the slightest de-
tail In regard 10 the appearance OF the
men, discipline or the methods In vogue
that would provoke one word Of criti-
cism.
This is a splendid looking lot Of men
and a splendid station house." said the

DISCOVERY OF COFFEE
DUE TO AN ACCIDENT

About the middle of the fifteenth
century a poor Arab was travelling
through Abyssinia, and finding himself
weary and weak from fatigue, he
stopped near a grove; then being in
want of fuel to cook his rice, he cut
down tree, which happened to be
covered with dead berries.
His meal being cooked and eaten, the
traveller discovered that the half burned
berries were very fragrant. He col
lected a number of them, and on crush
ing them with a stone, he found that
their aroma increased to a great ex-
tent While wondering at this he acci-
dentally let fall the substance into the
can which contained his scanty supply
Of water-lo what miracle The
nearly putrid water was almost iz-
stantly purified.
The Arab raised the water with the
coffee berries to his lips: 1T was fresh,
agreeable and in a moment the traveller
had so far recovered his strength and
energy as to be able to resume his
journey.
The lucky Arab. according to the
Grocers' Assistant. gathered as many
OF the berries as he could. and having
arrived at Alden, in Arabia, he informed
the mufti of his discovery. That worthy
divine was an inveterate opium smoker,
and had suffered for years from the
influence of the poisonous drug. He
tried an infusion of the roasted berries.
and was so delighted at the recovery
of his own vigor that, In gratitude
to the tree, he called il "cahuah," which
in Arabia signifies force" The present
word coffee" is supposed to be cor
ruption of the Arabic word "cahuah.H

prevented the play from being as fast

that of the Independents and their indi-

much higher order. The improvement
