Origin of "Charity"

"Carus" is the Latin for dear" and
"caritas," the abstract noun from it.,
means "dearness." st. Jerome, who
translated the Bible into Latin avoid
ed the use of the ordinary Latin word
for "love," which is "amor," because
of its worldly associations. He sub
stituted for it, wherever the Greek or
Hebrew would naturally have re-
quired it, one or other of two rather
colorless words, Of which "caritas" II
one. Being colorless, "caritas'' was
capable of taking the color Of its Bib
lical surroundings and came to mean
the specifically Christian love Of ones
neighbor, and especially Of the poor.
The English word charity" derived
from it, perhaps owes its sense par
ticularly to the great passage about
charity in I Corinthians, IL.

Artists Troubles

Apropos the alleged neglect by the
public of modern artists, Miss Fran
ces Dodd, A. r. A, tells the story Of
a wealthy lady who had come to a
certain artists studio to look at his
pictures.
At the end Of two hours she made
no indication that she would like to
buy one, though the artist had pa
tiently gone around explaining their
different points.
At last she said: SHY dear man,
I wonder if there is anything vainer
In the world than you artists over
your pictures"
Eyes, madame" was the reply, sour
efforts to sell them"

Writer'S Closing Hours
Soothed by Scriptures


Sir Walter Scott died September p,
1884, at Abbotsford on the Tweed.
The health of. the poet and novelist
had been on the decline for several
months before his death. Several
weeks before he breathed his last he
seemed to be getting better. One
morning, says John Gibson Lockhard,
who was SCOTS biographer and SON.
in-law, "after again enjoying the bath
chair for perhaps couple Of hours
out Of doors, he desired to be drawn
into the library, and placed by the
central window, that he might look
down upon the Tweed. Here he ex-
pressed a wish that I should read to
him, and when I asked from what
book, he said-'Need you ask2 There
is but one.' I chose the 14th chapter
Of st. Johns gospel; he listened with
mild devotion, and said when I had
done-'Well, this is great comfort.
have followed you distinctly, and I
feel as If I were yet to be myself
again." The first two verses Of the
chaper read to Sir Walter are as fol-
lows: "Let not your heart be trou-
bled: We believe in God, believe also
in me. In my Fathers house are
many mansions: If it were not so, u
would have told you. go to pre-
pare a place for you."

it in. But, unless the air is
drawn out and a vacuum created
in the Theoretically sealed con-
tainer, there is no place for this
gas, which forms the flavor and
aroma, to go. The vacuum will
take care of the pressure of from
Is to 25 pounds per square inch
which will develop in from nine
to twelve days, depending on the
color of the roast. Fifty per cent
of the gas leaves the coffee in the
first ten hours. So coffee freshly
roasted and ground and immedi-
ately packed in vacuum, which
means air-tight packing, retains
the flavor and aroma which would
otherwise be discharged into the
air.
AS You Like 1t
AS for the methods of prepar-
ing coffee, there is wide diver
sity. Cafe au lait, meaning cof-
fee with milk, is strong coffee
served with boiling milk, from
one quarter to half of coffee and
the cup then filled with the milk
Cafe noir, or after-dinner coffee,
requires a goodly amount Of cot
fee and it must be percolated un-
til the liquid is black. A demi-
tasse means literally only half
cup of coffee, but 1t is often used
to denote after-dinner coffee In
general. Cafe la creme is simple
cafe noir to which plain or whip
ped cream is added. Vienna cot
fee is prepared in a special urn
which allows the steam to pass
and repass through finely pull
verified coffee. 1t is usually
served with whipped cream

Pluto Plane, 1. Deliberate

Conversations and calculations of
the complete orbit of Pluto places the
new member of our planetary family
as the most distant from the sun and
the slowest in its revolution. 1t re-
quires 251 years for Pluto to complete
its orbit around the sun. This is
nearly a century longer than Nep-
tune, Pluto's oldest neighbor, which
requires 165 years for one circuit.
Pluto's orbit will bring it nearest our
globe 5S years from now. In 1888 the
new luminary will be distant 80 as

over a simple cup Of coffee,

by its friendly aroma, you can
well understand how big things
have been done over small cups
of coffee. Yet before the 18th
century. the English-speaking
world had never tasted this bev-
erage.
Came from Africa
Facts about the early history
OF the fragrant bean are pretty
hard to disentangle from romance
and tradition which have clouded
fits real origin. But we do know
that the civilized world must
thank Africa for the coffee bean.
The early Abyssinians not only
drank it as d beverage but they
also ate It as a food. They
nodded the pulverized, roasted
beans with some sort of grease
and formed it into balls which
warriors carried with them on
short forays.
BY the fifteenth century the use
of coffee was widespread through
out Southern Arabia, and it was
shipped through the port OF
Mocha. But Europe never tasted

Low Barometer Pressures

The weather bureau says that one
of the lowest authentic barometer
pressures recorded in recent years was
in connection with the hurricane of
September, 1923. AS the storm passed
over Porto Rico a reading of 27.35
(reduced to sea leveD was recorded on
September ID at p. m. at Yabucoa,
on the southeast coast of Porto Rico.
Other records Of exceptionally low
barometer readings in the centers of
hurricanes may be cited: Havana,
Cuba, October 10, 1916, 27.06; False
Point, India, September %, 1885, 27.15;
Tananan, Philippine islands, October

the steaming cup until Venice, in
the 18th century, approved it.
Then the student body of Oxford
began to drink it, and the col
legiate enthusiasm spread to Lon
don where coffee-houses quickly
sprang up. AS early as 1868 the
burghers of New York set down
their stems, and the DANES their
tea cups, to taste this new brew.
So much for the rise of coffee
to social security. The great
problem, since it has won uni
versal acclaim and is as much in
demand on quick-lunch counter
as on the statesmen's banquet
table, has been to provide the best
possible coffee. Coffee dealers
are confronted with the problem
of the best selection, blending,
roasting and grinding. House
wives have the problem of pre-
serving the flavor of coffee, and
of preparing it in the most salts
factory manner.
The introduction OF vacuum
packed coffee, it is true, has prac-
tically solved the problem of the
housewife as far as retaining its
flavor and aroma is concerned,
because the modern vacuum
packed coffee is as fresh when
the can is opened as the moment
when it was roasted and ground.
There is an Interesting reason
why this is true.
When freshly roasted and
ground coffee is exposed to
oxygen it begins to discharge its
flavor and aroma into the atmos-
phere. Nothing but hermeti'
