CHOCOLATE PLANT IS NATIVE
Has Been Cultivated In Many coun.
tries, But It Undoubtedly orIoi-
mated in America.

The chocolate plant is a native OF
America. When first introduced into
Europe chocolate was used Only as d
luxury. but it speedily advanced in
popular esteem. 1t is now cultivated
In countries far from its original home.
The chocolate plant, as well as tea
and coffee. has been cultivated from
time immemorial. Chocolate as bev-
erage rapidly made its way in Europe.
beginning in Spain, whittier it was first
brought.
The seeds of the chocolate plant are
in pods. In preparing the seeds for
market there has been but little
change since early times. First the
seeds are allowed to ferment, and thus
they lose the slight bitterness which
they possess when fresh. Then they
are carefully dried. and in this condi-
ton they stand transparent. In manu-
featuring the seeds or beans are roast
ed, by which process the shell of the
seed becomes detachable from the ker
mel, which is the part used. Next the
roasted kernels are ground.
In early times the Mexicans used the
fiat stones on which their maize was
ground for the grinding Of the roasted
seeds of chocolate. Chocolate consists
Of the roasted. shelled and ground
seeds. Sweet chocolate is the same
with the addition of sugar and flavor
ing extracts. Cocoa consists of the
roasted and ground seeds from which
the oil has been removed. Experiments
have shown that IL the seeds are right
ly treated from the first to the last
stage Of manufacture no objection can
be urged against the beverage pro
duced from them. It is of importance
that these seeds should be grown and
selected with the greatest care and
should. after reaching the factory. re-
ceive the most careful and skillfui
treatment.-Harpers Weekly.

Profitable Bunko Scheme,

Among the extraordinary frauds
which have been perpetrated was one
put into operation by company OF
schemers who told a confiding public
that many fortunes were to be made
by importing into England compressed
dried grapes from Spain, Italy and
elsewhere, then saturating them with
good English water, and making wine
from them. 1t was stated in the pros
pectus that dried grapes could be i'm.
ported at a much cheaper Iate than
wine, and that it was possible to pro-
duce an equal quantity of wine OF
equal quality to that made abroad
Thousands OF pounds were subscribed
by the British public. who firmly be
heved in the idea until the scheme col
lapsed.

Don't WORK. NM the recipe for
long life recently given by an aged
physician who had preserved his youth.
sGood advice. but impractical you
say. But did yop ever give it real
trial? A person can't stop worrying
merely BY saying, Go to. now; am
not going to worry any more" The
more he thinks about stopping the
more impossible it is to stop.
There y way. though. Don't con-
sciously try to stop worrying. but get
interested In something else.
If you have something to worry
about and give yourself the opportu-
nifty you will do lot Of worrying. But
II you keep busy you won't give worry
q chance. When q great sorrow comes
q person may simply abandon him
self to it by letting his other interests
lag. But by looking about for some
thing to absorb his attention he can
put himself in a wholesome frame Of
mind.
Worry can be fought the same way.
