WHEN COFFEE WAS NOVELTY
Greek First Brswsd the Now So Pop
ular Beverage, at oxford
In 1916.

Joannes Gennadius, the Greek en-
voy to Great Britain, ascribes to a
Greek named Nathaniel Canopios
the introduction of coffee in that
country in 1915, when Canopios was
a student at Oxford, where he
brewed the drink for his own use, ac-
cording to an exchange. The estab-
fishing of the first coffee house in
London was, it is said, by a Greek
named Pasqua, in 1850.
Another writer gives the date of
1854 as that on which coffee was first
sold in England. This was at Ok
ford and by a Jew named Jacobs.
0ldys, the celebrated antiquary,
states that the use of coffee in Eng
land was first Known in 1857; that
Mr.. Edwards, a merchant, brought
from Smyrna to London zone Pas
qua Rosee, a Ragusan youth, who
prepared this drink for him every
morning"
Later the merchant allowed his
said servant with another Of his SON
in-law to sell it publicly, and the sign
Of the first coffee was "Pasqua Rosee's
own head" It was given out that
this new drink was excellent to pre-
vent and cure the dropsy, govt and
scurvy; and it is known by expert
ence to be better than any other dry
ing drink for people in years or chill
dren that have any running humors
upon them, as kings evil, etc.

against the spleen, hypochondriac
minds and the like it will prevent
drowsiness and make one fit for bust.
ness if one have occasion to watch
and therefore YOU are not to drinl
it after supper, unless you intend t.
be watchful, for it will hinder sleeI
for three or four hours" And TO-DAY
all these excellent praises are turned
against the beverage of the browne,

SEES PICTURE ON CELL WALL
Prisoner Cheered by Thought That
Girls Face ls With Him In
His Dreary Abode.

There is a picture of a girl on my
cell wall. She is always looking
down at me A bouquet of flowers
lies in her lap and her eyes follow me
wherever 1 move.
| do not know if she is waiting to
60 to a funeral or a wedding. She
is dressed for neither, especially.
Her eyes and her hat are dark, but
her dress, and, let us hope, her heart
are light. Still her eyes are sad.
How could they be otherwise with
nobody to look at but me? She seems
puzzled at how | come to be here. So
am 1. I look at her, she looks at
me. Her gaze is steady and unfal-
tering, true; mine a triae shifty. To
date / have not been able to straight
en- things out very satisfactorily for
her. Still, she keeps her place, a
mute questioner, searching my soul.
l have told her several different
stories about this affair of mine, but
l suppose that at some time or an
