QUAINT OLD FINNISH TOWN
Everything in Borga Seems to Go
Back to About the Earliest
Period OF History.

The first glimpse of Borga from the
water is a cluster of old wooden build
ings carelessly assembled along the
skyline. You gather that the town is
red, owing to the bulky. crimson-paint-
ed packhouses In the foreground, but
upon climbing up the steep, cobble-
stoned street to the town. you change
you mind, and decide that 1t is going
to be yellow. For all the funny, old
fashioned houses are painted that
color. A little farther on, however, Ii
comes upon you suddenly that Borga
possesses a color scheme-that all the
red and yellow is just a background
for the splendid, solemn grayness of
its ancient cathedral, which complete
~ dominates the town from the depths
of "a walled courtyard of the type that
was popular in the early fifteenth cen
fury.
Borga began about thirteen hundred
aud something, and must have reached
It's height about the seventeenth cen
fury, for 1t contains very little of a
later date than that. The cathedral
contains nothing more modern than an
organ, for example. Its white and
gold pulpit was carved in the sixteenth
century, and its wall and won
derful crystal chandeliers are cen
turies old. Other Finnish towns have
replaced their marvellous chandeliers
with less beautiful but more practical
fixtures of the current century, but
Borga proudly upholds the past. The
Borga cathedral still measures time by
means of a quaint old h~ourglass filed
with sand.
Ii was In this cathedral that the en-
peror of Russia, Alexander /, received
the oaths of allegiance of the newly
conquered Films, a few days after he
had signed the constitution which gave
them their freedom. The house in
which the constitution was signed-a
modest, little, frame structure with
old-fashioned, blue-painted blinds-is
also pointed out with reverence to the
traveller, and If you are duly sympa-
thetic, the Borgans will her lead you
up TO the site of an old fortress re-
ported to date back to an obscure
period, ever before the cathedral,
when the Films were heathens. 1t
must be admitted that this site is any.
thing but impressive now. There are
some peculiar bitches. which, one is
assured, are meats, and several barb
wire fences which are supposed to in
close the ancient and venerable EN-
battlements. Nevertheless, the place
must have atmosphere, If you can only
find ii, for 1t was here that Walter
Runeberg, the great Finnish poet, used
to find the inspiration for so many of
his splendid songs.

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 a visit is not disclosed until pre-
liminary ceremonies are concluded.
These native Africans-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 hat natural
bastion of Africa, the Abyssinians have
lived in greater or less security for
unknown centuries. They are not me-
groes, but a 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.

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

There is a tradition to the effect
that coffee was found growing wild
In Arabia some 800 years ago by Hadii
Omar, a dervish. Hadjl 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 stepped 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 a 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 il
that coffee was used in Persia as early
as the ninth century, but there is lit
tie evidence to bear out their contep-
ton.
A~bdelcader's story of the discovery
of coffee is as follows: A certain
Arab, GemaIledin, a judge In Alden,
while travelling to persia-or, as the
historians correct the manuscript, to
observation-disclosures people using cof
fee as medicine. Gemalledin so en-
ployed it, and vas cured of an Illness.
Later, on becoming a monk, he taught
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 Il 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 a substitute for wine,
which was prohibited by the Koran,
and that, therefore, coffee drinking
was a violation of Mohammed's law.
The result was a 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 | declare that
no faithful will lose heaven because
he drinks coffee"
