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

There Is tradition TO the effect
that coffee was found growing wild
IN Arabia some 600 years ago by Hadjl
Omar, dervish. Hadil 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 decoctlon as refresh.
ing as II 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 Hadjl Omar saint.
In the Blbllotheque Rationale at
Paris there IL 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 II
that coffee was used In Persia as early
as the ninth century but there is III.
tie evidence 10 bear out their conten.
tlon.
Abdelcader's story OF the discovery
OF coffee IL as follows: A certain
Arab, Gemalledin. Judge IN Aden
while travelling TO Persla-or, as the
historians correct the manuscript, to
bysslnla-observed people using cof.
fee as medicine. Gemalledln so EN-.
ployed II, and was cured OF an Illness.
Later, on becoming a 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 n new gov.
ernor Chair Bey to Mecca. The gov.
ernor knew nothing OF the beverage
aud became greatly enraged at the
sight OF the derylshes 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.
aud that, therefore. coffee drinking
was a violation OF Mohammeds law.
The result was decree forblddlng
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, Il Is said that he received this
written reply:
"Your physicians are asses. Our
lawyers and physicians In Cairo are
haifar infarnad Thay raeommand
the use OF coffee. aud ! declare that
no faithful will lose heaven because
he drinks coffee"

HARD TO JUDGE BY SOUND
Nature Has Not Equipped All crea.
lures with Vocal Organs commen-
surate With Their Size.

II Is very curious fact that the
by the largest animals. The roar of
the lion exceeds In sonOrOusness the
cry Of the elephant. Anyone who had
only heard, without seeing, a bullfrog,
might well suppose that It's fearful
voice, breaking the silence Of the night,
must certainly come from the throat OF
an animal Of formidable dimensions.
Perhaps the most remarkable case
OF vocal power in an animal Is that
encountered by traveller IN the high
lands OF Borneo. He was informed
by some natives that they had heard
tiger roaring in the nelghborhood.
Such news Is always startling TO
stranger In the Jungles, and hardly less
so to the natives.
An investigation was accordingly set
on foot. which resulted in the discov.
cry that the alarming roars had been
emitted by a toad This toad OF Bor.
neo, however, was by no means an or
dnary member Of the family. II meas
ured no less than IAN inches around
lNt NouNs
That the natives should not have
recognized the true source OF the
sound shows that the existence OF
such roads was either unknown to
them, or at any rate, they had never
discovered the remarkable vocal capa.
bllltles of the animals.
In this relation Bates tells OF an. in.
cldent that occurred during his tray-
els along the Amazon. Among the
many sounds heard In the dense Bra
lillian forests was n kind OF loud me
tallic clnnklng, that sometimes rang
through the trees. and tho origin OF
which the traveller was unable TO dis
cover. Whenever Il was heard. the ma
lives covered with fenr. ascrlbing Il

noise was 80 loud that they missed Its
location by searching only for some
thing Of corresponding physical dimen'
slons.

To keep these poisOns and toxins
well flushed from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels drink before
breakfast each day, glass Of hot wa
ter with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will cleanse, pur-
ify and freshen the entire alimentary
tract, before putting more food into

Get a quarter pound Of limestone

Drink phosphated not water every
