THE DRINK CALLED COFFEE
Here Is thu Way They Made II In the

There are in existence in Great
Britain a few copies Of an ancient
cook book. published in 1862, that gives
what Is perhaps the first English rec
ipe for coffee. The recipe reads:
ITO make the drink that Is now
much used. called coffee.
''The coffee berries are to be bought
at any Druggist, about seven shillings
the pound. Take what quantity you
please, and over q charcoal fire, In an
old frying pan. keep them always stir
ring until they be quite black, and
when you crack one with your teeth
that it is black within as 1t Is without,
yet If you exceed, then do you waste
the Oyl. and If less, then will 1t not de-
liver its Oyl, and If you should con-
tinue fire till 1t be white 1t will then
make no coffee, but only give you Its
salt. Beat and force through a lawn
sieve.
Take clear water and boil one-third
of 1t away. and il is fit for use. Take
one quart of this prepared water, put
In it one ounce of your prepared cor

Asphalt Roads In Massachusetts.


1t is the expectation Of the Massa-

tend the uge of asphalt compounds for

The general opinion Of its engineers
last year az the season progressed was
that the asphalt products were more
reliable aDd gave better results than
the tar products; also that it appeared
that the asphalt would wear for a
greater length of time. AS result of
it's experiments the commission treated
many miles of macadam surface.
which was badly worn, by filling all
ruts, holes and depressions with mix
ture of asphalt, oil and gravel or a
sharp sand or stone and stone screen

brought as nearly as possible to uni
form smooth surface. Then the road
was coated with from one-fourth to a
half gallon of hot asphalt oil to the
square yar,i. The oil was laid on as
evenly as possible over the surface,
being spread with broom where nee

in sufficient quantities to absorb all of
the oil. If oil appeared it was covered

Trees and Wind.

The effect of wind upon trees is

The wind acts as drying agent. CIV
