The Story of Coffee.

According to tradition the uses of
coffee were first discovered in Abys-
sinia about the time Columbus was
dreaming of reaching the Indies by
sailing west across the Atlantic. The
Mohammedans drank coffee to keep
them awake during their long religious
vigils, but this practice was frowned
upon by more orthodox Musselmen,
who considered it form of intoxica-
ton. The habit spread however, and
reached Egypt in the 18th century.
Europe became acquainted with coffee
in the 18th century. The first coffee
houses were established in Constanti-
nople and Venice. The first London
coffee house was established fifty
years after Sir Walter Raleigh learned
10 smoke tobacco. Charles ii. tried
to abolish it, as the place was suppos-
ed to be frequented by diSloyal sub
jects; the number of coffee houses
multiplied. Nearly all the berries used
at that time were supplied by the
Arabian province Of Yemen, of which
Mocha was the chief seaport. The
coffee plant was introduced into Java
at the end of the 18th century, and
ever since that time "Mocha and
Java" have been a recognized trade
name. However, most Of the coffee
used in America is imported from
Brazil, Puerto Rico, Mexico. Hawaii
and Central and South America.
Mocha and Javo coffee constituted less
than one-third of | per cent, of the
|, 900, OO0,0 900 pounds consumed in the
United States annually. Brazil today
produces three.fourth of the worlds
supply Of coffee.
