How Coffee Got Its Name.

Coffee takes its name from Kaffa, a
district Of Abyssinia where it came
from and where it still grows in q
wild state. The story goes that in the
fifteenth century an Arab herder of
goats, having noticed that his animals,
after browsing on the leaves and ber-
ries of certain bushes, became exceed
ingly lively and playful, was prompted
by curiosity to chew a quantity OF
these berries. He found them OF
pleasing taste and that they had the
same refreshing and stimulating effect
upon him. Having told other herders
Of this, they tried them in various
ways, until it was finally discovered
that the best results could be obtained
by making a strong infusion OF the
roasted beans in boiling water, which
Welded an aromatic beverage of pleas
ing taste, which greatly refreshed and

UNMASKED BY WAR CENSUS
Many Men Leading Double Lives or
Hiding Prison Records Unearthed
In New York Canvass.

Scores of men who are leading
double lives have been tripped up by
the police check census, taken some
time ago, of all the dwelling places in
the city, says the New York World.
These men are appealing to Director
Goodrich to know whether they will be
allowed to register twice, once under
their proper" names and again I'M
der the assumed names they employ
at their irregular establishments.
Many cases have developed of the
imam without a country" Former
convicts now living respectable lives
have called and said they "lOst theif
citizenship" and did not dare to affirm
that they were citizens, but their chief
trouble was regarding the citizenship
of their children, and whether they
would have to reveal their former
lives to their families. They were told
to state they were citizens, as they had
only lost certain of the rights of citi-
zens.
A man was asked if he was married
and replied: 81 don't know; the jury
is still out" Deserted wives have writ
ten in by the score asking for help in
finding their husbands.

No Place for Women.

Underwriters at Lloyds in London
were shocked to learn that the mill
tary tribunal had suggested the assign
ment of woman workers to replace
men fit for service there. There was
even talk of strike.
Edward e. Nichols, member Of the
directing committee, replied: 1.-The
tribunal doesn't know what it Is about
if 1T indorses this suggestion. Anyone
who knows how business is conducted
at Lloyds knows that it is a seething
mass Of struggling people. No woman
could decently take part in such work.
Underwriters are already employ
ing women as clerks in their offices,
and they are doing excellent work.
This, however, has been carried about
as far as it can be. 1t takes lifetime
to train men to work on the floor at
Lloyds. If more men are taken from
us. it will simply become impossible to
insure ships"

EDITORIAL NOTE. - William Lc-
Queux, who here chronicles for his
friend. Count Ernst Won HeltzendOrn,
the Iatter's revelations of the inner
life of the imperial German court, has
long been recognized throughout Eu-

secrets.
The English "WhO's Who" says OF
him: "He has intimate knOwlehS OF
the secret service of Continental coun-
tries and f. considered by the govern
ment (of Great Brittany an authority on
such matters" Another authority says:
~Few people have been more closely as
ISOLATED with or know more OF the
astounding inner machinery OF Ger
many than he.'
LeQueux probably has more sources
Of secret Information Mt hts command
than any contemporary in civil life, anu
for the last six years the British Tow
eminent has made valuable use OF MS
vast store of secret Information through
q specially organized department Win
which LeQueux works as voluntary
assistant.
Count Won HeltzendorR became nm in
innate of LeQueux several years prior
to the outbreak of the war; he has been
living in retirement in France since
August, 1914, and 1t was there that Le-

How Strawberry Got Its Name.

Two reasons obtain as to the origin
of the name of the strawberry, one
that the name was bestowed because
Of the long stems which resemble
straws, and the other because of an
old custom of stringing the berries on
straws. The strawberry succeeds from
Florida to Alaska. and while it does
best on a moderately rich loan soil,
yet it is susceptible to cultivation in
nearly all temperate or tropical eli
mates. The principal wild strawber-
ries Of the United States are the ERA
garia virginiana" and the 'Fragaria
americana" The everbearing type,
"Fragaria vesca," is native to Europe.
Garden varieties Of Strawberries have
been derived chiefly from the Gillian
strawberry, "Fragaria chiloensis," and
the Virginia species.
