Orixin Of Word "Coffee''

Although the coff ee tree is of Afri-
can origin, it first appeared as Q
cultivated plant ID Arabia, where
common use began about the Four
.teenth century, declares an ,authori-
'ty. A well-known story from Syria
is Of q monastery goatherd who no
ticed that the animals in his charge
became lively to the point Of re-
fusing their customary siesta after
browsing on the lie ayes and fruit Of
q strange bush. This led to the
idea of trying its effect on monks,
who were given to somnolence at
evening prayers. From the Arabic
name of the brew, "kahwa," came
the word coffee" and its variants
in European language.

Indian, Used Many wild Plants

The Indians cultivated very few
crops, but they used LIP different
species of wild plants for food, ac-
coiding to a list compiled by the

culture. Nuts and berries were
abundant and logical foods, but the
list also includes buttercup sprouts
water lily buds, dodder seeds, thistle
stems and roots, poke-weed greens,
dogtooth violets, bitteroots, and IN
the semi-desert Southwest the thick
roots of the yucca, the pulpy hear,
of the agave or centsry plant ano

several species of cactus.
