Jewelry Reveals History.

Increasing demand for all-American
jewelry, designed from ancient models
fashioned by the Aztecs and Toltecs OF
Mexico, has brought to light striking
similarity between them and those OF
the contemporaneous Roman empire.
The Characteristic features of Ro-
man jewelry were it's broad surfaces.
massive construction, use Of large
stones and open-work ornament. The
same features are equally true of the
aboriginal American jewelry, and of
that Of the restoration now in vogue.
Betokening strength and luxury,
they both differed radically from the
jewelry of the Greeks and Etruscans,
especially in that the latter was chief
ly distinguished by its delicate beauty
and infinitely cunning workmanship.
Comparatively, it is the difference be-
tween the imposing canvas and the
miniature. Montezuma and the Aztec
nobles-and their Toltec predecessors
wore this magnificent, colorful jew
elry, and so did the emperors and no.
bIes of Rome, while both great en-
pires were flourishing at the same pc
riod.

The first glimpse Of Borga from the

Borga began about thirteen hundred

Its height about the seventeenth cen
fury. for 1t contains very little of
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 sconces and VOL
derful crystal chandeliers are CEN
turtles 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

It was in this cathedral that the en-
perOr Of Russia, Alexander /, received
the oaths of allegiance of the newly
conquered Firms, 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 II you are duly sympa-
thetic, the Borgans will then lead you
up to the site of an old fortress re-
ported to date back TO an obscure
period, even 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

to find the inspiration for SO many OF
his splendid songs.

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 coo years ago by Hadji
Omar, a dervish. Hadt 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 OK
"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 1t
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, judge IN Alden,
while travelling to Persia-or, as the
historians correct the manuscript, to
Abyssinia-observed people using COT
fee as medicine. Gemalledin so em-
ployed 1t, 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 a 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 violation of .Mohammed's law.
The result was a decree dorblddlng
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:
sYour 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"

"Five shiIIinas and Upward"

Among the many 'lots'' Of tremen-

Abyssinians Claim Recognition.

@ A0ySSlnlanS Ntd1m nSCO9nlIIOU.
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 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 that natural
bastion of Africa, the Abyssinians have
lived in greater or less security for
unknown centuries. They are not ne

Figured Out ! Profit.

Colonel Kolb is telling the tale Of a

The anecdote was in answer to the

Prehistoric Skull.

The bureau of American ethnology
has made public the discovery Of a
human skull "in concrete" filed with
hard breccia, which was found on the
coast of Florida.
The skull, collected by Samuel L..
King of Bristol, Tenn, from Demere
Key, off Fort Myers, is believed to be
Of prehistoric origin, because, like
other human bones discovered by
scientists, it is SO placed in a strata
of earth and pebbles that the age of
the bones can be ascertained geolog-
ically.
Other bones mineralized by age
and believed to be from 10000 to
10000 years old have been discovered
in Florida, Peru and California, Civ
ing proof Of the existence of prehis-
toric man, as well as the prehistoric
huge beasts; but man, 1t would

Students of these fossil remains be-
lieve that some of them were men
who died during the glacial period,
and that since then the shifting Of
the earth buried them under from IS
to $50 feet of gravel which water
partly eroded, which makes it posi-
BILE to estimate that at least thousands
of years have elapsed since the man
died.
