A Link With Rousseau.

 In the little village of ErmenonglIs where Rousseau Is buried, there VA an inn where he often went.

EARLY HISTORY OF COFFEE
Traditions Differ, put the Beverage Has Been Appreciated for Many
 Hundreds of Years

There IS q tradition to the effect that coffee was found growing wild in Arabia some 600 years ago by Hadii Omar. q dervish. Hadii Omar was dying of hunger in the desert. when he found some small, round berries and tried to eat them. They were however, too bitter. After roasting them he finally steeped them in water -and found the decoction as refresh Ing as If he had partaken of solid food Upon his return to Mohka, he brought his discovery to the attention of ''the wise man." who were so well pleased herewith that they pro- claimed Hadji Omar saint.
 In the Bibliotheque Rationale at Paris there is a manuscript written in Arabic by one Abdelcader, who ayers that coffee was drunk for the first time in Arabia in the fifteenth century. Other authorities have ]. fl that coffee was used in Persia as early as the ninth century, but there is lit tie evidence to bear out their conten- ton.
 Abdelcader's story of the discovery of coffee is as follows: A certain Arab. Gemalledin. a judge fin Alden, while travelling to Persia-or as the historians correct the manuscript, to Abyssinia-observed people using cof- fee as medicine. Gemalledin so em- ployed it, and was cured of an illness. Later, on becoming monk, he taught his brethren in Alden the use of the berry.
 No opposition to the use of coffee appears to have been offered until the middle of the sixteenth century, when the Egyptian sultan sent new gov ernor, Chair Bey, to Mecca. The gov ernor knew nothing of the beverage and became greatly enraged at the sight of the dervishes drinking coffee in the mosques. Upon consulting with two Persian physicians he decided that coffee was substitute for wine, which was prohibited by the Koran, and that. therefore, coffee drinking was violation of Mohammed's law. The result was decree forbidding the use of coffee. All berries that could be found were gathered and burned in the market place. When Chair Bey reported his action to the sultan. it is said that he received this written reply:
 "Your physicians are asses. Our lawyers and physicians in Cairo are better informed They recommend the use of coffee. and I declare that no faithful will lose heaven because he drinks coffee"

Abyssinians Claim Recognition.


 A delegation from Abyssinia bearing rich gifts of Ivory and silks for the an nounced purpose of congratulating France on her recent victory, appeared at the peace conference in Paris. This is in strict accordance with the ancient oriental procedure The real purpose of visit is not disclosed until pre- liminary ceremonies are concluded. These native Afrieans-whose rulers claim descent from Solomon and the queen of Sheba-wished to be in on the carving up of the world, for they have interests which seem vital to them, although little known to the rest of the world. Seated in that natural bastion of Africa, the Abyssinians have lived in greater or less security for unknown centuries. They are not ne- groes, but mixture of Hamitic and Semitic races, with a culture of their own and protesting the Christian re- ligion. being a branch of the Coptic church of Egypt. Until recently they have been unmolested save by native tribes.

Once for Terrn Haute

Three-year-old Mary Ellen Mckee of Terre Haute believes that nice and clean are inseparable expressions, be- cause they apply to objects to which she is most accustomed-namely hands, dresses, toys, etc. The other day she was taken to her first vaude- vile. She was impressed by the per formance, and when she arrived home tried to describe it for mothers bene- fit. 'tOh, it was the prettiest show" she began, and then enthusiastically, Tt was so nice and clean"
 Then she couldn't understand why the family laughed. d.-Indianapolis News.

In the Real Jungle.

In the Canal zone, which extends five miles to either side of the canal, prac- tically all of the jungle forest has long since been cut off, and in its place has grown up dense, impenetrable sec ond group of small trees, palms, creep CTS, thorns, and coarse grass. But if one cuts his way through this tangled growth for about five miles in from the canal he comes to the real jungle standing up like a gigantic wall of green verdure. Once in it all is diff ferent, even the very climate itself Here one can wander at will, unim- peded by thorns and creepers. It is even easier travelling here than in the woods of our own Northeast, because as a rule there is much less down" timber. 1t is like new world, a world that one has not even read about.
 From the blazing sun and sweltering heat of the second growth one enters what is almost an underground world, cool and balmy. Everywhere the giant trees go up limbless for from 100 to POO feet, and then spread out their verdure, literally hiding the sky. Beau tiful slender palms grow in great pro fusion in the semidarkness forming the lower growth, impeding one's view but not one's progress. Scarcely ever can one see more than 30 yards, and never does the explorer get an extend ed view, even from the tops of the highest mountains. When I first en- tered the jungle it was with an inde- scribable feeling of awe and wonder, and this feeling has never left me i; nay, 1t persists, drawing me, calling me to come back, more insistent even than the Gall of the North.a
 UnexpIored Mountain Ranges.
 That part of the jungle in which my most intensive exploration was con- ducted lies to the east of the city of Colon, between there and the town of Nombre de Dois, and extending from the Caribbean coast inland to the head waters of the Chagres river system. Between the Ghagres basin and the Caribbean coast rises the cordillera of Cerro Bruja, mountain range that starts about ten miles east of Colon, and rises steadily. eliminating in the peak of Cerro Bruja (3,200 feet) about 15 miles south of the town of Porto

BELIEVE 1t will surprise most
 Americans, and perhaps few of U our field naturalists, to learn that
 right at the back door of the Panama canal lies an almost unknown jungle wilderness, unmapped and practically uninhabited in the interior except for a few very primitive In- dians. Virtually the entire eastern portion of the republic of Panama ly- ing between the canal and Colombia, roughly 300 miles long by from 50 to 100 miles wide, is unknown, and the published maps of this country, except for the seacoast and the location of half dozen small towns, are all faked, writes Lieut.. Col. Townsend Whelen in Natural History.
 k was my good fortune to spend the entire dry seasons December to June) of 1916 and 1917 exploring a part of this country. We found it necessary to know something of that portion of 1t nearest the canal, and 1t fell to my lot, assisted by Companies B and H. Twenty-ninth United States infantry, to make preliminary exploration with view to planning and expedit- ing it's accurate mapping by the en- gineer corps.
 It is because this little piece of jun gle probably will remain virgin and unspoiled for many years that I think 1t ought to be brought to the attention of our field naturalists. It Is so easily accessible, and yet only the borders of it have been scratched by the seien- tist. No one yet knows what is in the interior, what secrets it contains, what new fauna and flora its exploration will reveal.

Improvement OF Permanent
Pastures.

The Department of Agriculture, in re-
cent announcement, calls attention to the
Importance of the care of permanent pas
ture lands, and advise that the next few
months is the desirable time of the year
for the improvement of pastures. Large
areas of permanent pasture would respond
to proper methods of improvement which
might include the following:
Keep the pastures clean by cutting off
brush, briars, and weeds. Large stumps,
stones. and dead trees should also be re-
moved
Those areas used for pasture that would
permit narrowing and disking at the
time of reseeding, applying lime. fertiliz-
ers, and manure, etc, may be greatly bene-
flied. In some sections terracing may be
practiced with satisfactory results.
The application of lime, acid phosphate
and manure can always be relied upon in
most sections as a means Of adding the
necessary increased fertility.
Reseedng, particularly in bare spots, is
to be recommended. White and Japan
clover, bermuda. herds grass, carpet grass,
and blue grass in favored sections are COM
monty used.
AS a rule reseeded past res should be
lightly grazed the first year. At all times
it is advisable to keep the cattle off the
grass in the spring until well started.
Closer grazing during the rest Of the sea-
son may be practiced where this has been
done. 1t is also advisable to turn cattle
off the pasture earlier in the fall than is
commonly practiced.
