WHERE COFFEE CAME FROM. Legend Gives the Lethean Berry a Ro mantic Origin and History. There is extant a iaio of tho dis covery of coffee, a story which might have suggested to Charles Lamb the idea for his dissertation on roast pig. This is the legend : Toward, tho mindie of the fif teenth century a poor Arab was traveling in Abyssinia, and, fintiing himself weak and weary from fa tigue, he stopped near a grove. Then,, being in want of fuel to cook his rice, he cut down a tree which happened to be full of dead berries. His meal being cooked and eaten, the traveler discovered that the half burned berries were very fragrant. Collecting a number of these and crushing them with a stone, he found that their aroma had in creased to a great extent. While wondering at this he accidentally let fal1 the substance into a can which contained his scant supply of water. Lo, what a miracle 1 The almost putrid liquid was instantly purified. He brought it to his lips. It was fresh, agreeable, and in a moment after the traveler had so far recovered his strength and energy as to be able to resume his journey. The lucky Arab gathered as many berries as he could, and, having ar rived at Aden, ir Arabia, he in formed the mufti of his discovery. This worthy divine was an inveter ate opium smoker who had been suffering for years from tho effects of that poisonous drug. He tried an infusion of the roasted berries and was so delighted at the recov ery of his own vigor that in grati tude to the tree he called it cabuah, which in Arabic signifies force. Denver Times. When He Raved. An Irishman over the age of four score and ten who by strict economy had accumulated a moderate for tune and was about to die called in the parish priest and the family law yer to make his last will and testa ment. The wife, a grasping, covet ous old party, was also in the room. The preliminaries pf the will hav ing been concluded, it became neces sary to inquire about the debts ow ing to the estate. Among these were .several of im portance of which the old lady had been in igr urance, but was neverthe less pleased to find that so much ready money would be forthcoming after the funeral. "Now, then," said the lawyer, '"stato explicitly the amount owed you by your friends." "Timothy Brown," Tepliod the old man, "owes me $250; John Casey owes me $185,. and" "Good, goodl" ejaculated the pro spective widow. "Rational to the last!" "Luke Bowen owes me $200," re sumed the old man. "Rational to the last!" put in the eager old lady again. "To Michael Liffey I owe $1,000." "Ah." exclaimed' the old woman, "hear him rave !" . .Thieves In Tangier. "Tliey don't mince matters in Tangier," said r? man who spent some years in that quaint old sea port of Morocco, "with a man who loses sight of the distinction be tween his own property and some one else's. When a thief is caught in the most trivial offense, he is told to hold up both hands. ? Then they ask him which hand he would like to keep. When he has made .}? is choice, they cut off the other. This naturally creates a prejudice against kleptomania in its various forms. I don't quite know what they would <lo with a bank officer who got his clutch on a m ,11 ion, but ! guess they would save the hand with its con tents and throw the rest of him to the sharks." ; The Speakers.

SUGAR MAKING. China Claim? t;o Have Discovered th? Original Process. Tho Chinese, who invented al most over;' thing before anybody oise heard of it, claim to be the original discoverers of the process K>f sugar making, and it is said that sugar was used in China as long ago as 3,000 years. This is misty, but the fact is well established that it was manufactured in China under the Tsin dynasty, 200 years before the Christian era. India has put forward a claim for priority of in vention, but the probability is that the Hindoos learned the ai t of sug ar making from the Chinese and that through them the knowledge finally spread to the western na tions. Nearchus, when sent by Alexan der on au exploring voyage on tho Indus, brought back reports of "honey" which was made by the Asiatics from cane without the help of bees. At this time neither the <2r?vk? aor the Jews nor the Baby lonians had any .knowledge of sug ar, but laver the art of making the artificial "honey" became known and practiced, though its progress and development were exceedingly slow. It was prescribed as a medi cine by Galen in A. D. 150. Up to the seventeenth century sugar had become nothing moro than a costly luxury, to be used only on special occasions. Even as late as the beginning of the eight eenth century the annual consump tion of sugar in Great Britain had reached only 20,000,000 pounds, whereas it is now more than 2,000, 000,000 pounds. Refined sugar was not made ?in England till 1659. The art of refining was learned by a Venetian merchant from the Saracen?, who sold the secret to him for 100,000 crowns.-Weekly Bouquet. The Cathedra* at Seville. Thc construction of this cathe dral at the end of the middle ages was practically the result of a wa ger. The canons heroically ruined themselves. They wanted to outdo the Christians of Toledo; they de sired to surpass the Moors of Cor dova; they wanted a marvel for Se villa, arid Sevilla got the marvel. The central nave is of an extraor dinary height. Notre Dame of Par I is could easily be put into it. As for the four side naves, they could shel ter many churches and steeples in their depths. The main altar is im mense, with superimposed rows of sculptured panels and numberless statues. The organ pipes are as large as cannon. Everything is huge, gigantic, overpowering. Thus religious ceremonies born in that prodigious edifice break forth into Sevilla with a character of grandeur and lavishness; they, so to speak, inundate the streets of the city. Be it a grave epidemic to be feared or a great joy to be celebrat ed, all the prestige of a gorgeous ceremonial is resorted to as a means of appealing to all the inhabitants. Voluntarily organized processions tumultuously follow processions, each one larger, richer and more im posing than its predecessor.-Mod ern Culture. Selected lt Herself. A dutiful husband wished to give his wife a handsome lace scarf for a birthday prient, and, to make sure of getting one to her liking, he ask ed her to buy one herself on the pre tense that it was for a lady friend of theirs. The finest honiton, Va lenciennes a*?d brussels lace goods were spread out on the counter, but madam thought to herself: "What is t*u? lose cf spending so much money on a present for Ame lie?" So embroidered lace, was shown next. Even these were too dear. At length she selected a very plain and ordinary scarf. "Quite good enough, too," she thought, and took it hon: to her husband. "Have . you chosen something pretty?" lie asked. "Oh, yes; very pretty." "Is it just what you would have chosen for yourself r* "The very thing." "Then, my dear, you may keep it. I intended it for youl" exclaimed the husband, delighted with his lit tle scheme.-London Answers. The Invention of Bellows. It is difficult to place the inven tion of bellows, as it io stated that they were used in Egypt in tho time of Thothmes HI, 1490 B. C., and are represented on a tomb bearing the name of that pharaoh, probably as emblematic of his character. Our common bellows, consisting of two boards joined by a piece of leather, was early known to the Greeks and Romans. Strabo falsely ascribes tho invention to Anacharsis, the Scythian, who was coeval with So lon. Wooden bellows were known in Germany in the sixteenth centu ry, but the name of the inventor is not known. - In China criminals and political prhouora aro beheaded.

MALAY BELIEF IN CHARMS. Warding Off Danger From Beasts, imps ?nd Storms. ? The Malay is a firm believer in the efficacy of charms. He wears amu lets, places written words of magic in houses and sports a tiger's claw as a preventive of disease. If he is specially primitive and backwoodsy, when ho enters a forest he says: "Go to the right, all my enemies and assailants! May you not look up on mo ! Let mo walk alone 1" To allay a storm he says: "Tho elephants collect j they wallow across the sea. Go to tho right, go to the left. I break the tempest." When about to begin an elephant hunt, according to Thompson, he uses this charm: "The elephant trumpets; he wallows across tho lake. Go to the left, go to the right, spirit of grandfather (the elephant) I tOO?? lue fingers upon the bow string." The Malay believes in witches and witchcraft. There is tho bottle imp. the oolong, which feeds on its own er's hlood till the time coma? for it to take possession of an^encmy. Then there is the horrid thing, tho panangalan, which possesses women. Frequently it leaves its rightful abode to fly away at night to feed on blood, taking the form of the head and intestines of the person it in habited, in which shape it wanders around. Such beliefs may perhaps have their origin in metempsychosis, which in other ways has some foot hold among the common people. For instance, elephants and tigers are believed sometimes to be human souls in disguise, and so the Malay addresses them as "grandfather" to allay their wrath and avoid direct reference to them. Crocodiles also are often regarded as sacred, and special charms are used in fishing for them. One such, given by Max well, is as follows: "O Dangsari, lo tus flower, receive what I send thee. If thou receive8t it not, may thine eyes be tom out!"-Popular Sci ence. Ah Sin's Ways. To a Chinaman the idea that a judge should take bribes seoras as natural a thing as that a duck should take to the water. And yet the Chinaman will not, unless he knows he is on the right track, bru tally push his bribe under the judge's nose. Either he or one of his countrymen will from che judge's arrival have rendered him good service. Does the judge want a gardenec or a cook? Ah Sin soon provides an excellent one who never asks for his wages. Have some visitors ar rived at the alcald?a? Ah Sin sends in a dozen chickens, a turkey and the best fruits. Is it the judge's name day? The wily Celestial pre sents a few cases of wine and boxes cf fine cigars. Is the roof of the alcald?a leaking? A couple of Chi nese carpenters will set it right without sending in e. bill for it. Then, haying prepared the way, should Ah Sin be summoned before the alcalde he may confidently hope that his patron will not hurriedly give judgment against him and that e will probably get a full opportu nity to present substantial reasons why the suit should be decided in his favor.-F. H. Sawyer's "Inhab itants of the Philippines." ?rsS*e Figuras. Our figures are called Arabic not because they originated in Arabia they came to Arabia from Hindu stan-but because they were intro duced into Spain by the Moors, Ar abs or their conquerors and thence found their way into the rest of Eu j rope. Nothing absolutely certain is ' known as to their origin, and there j has been a good deal of controversy I resulting over it, one of tho two fol . lowing theories probably being the correct one: I As excellent geometricians, they, j composed the w ritten number out of ' geometrical figures. One hos only one angle, 2 nos two, three, etc.; 0, a circle, has none. Again, it is argued that the fig . uros were composed of right angles j and Gqu.vjc3, tho number of lines , used indicating the number to be i noted. There is one line in 1, and ! there are three in.3, seven in 7, etc. I The Greeks and Romans had sys tems totally different from ours and which made long calculations almost I impossible; therefore it seems likely . that the mathematicians of old had knowledge of what are now called Arabic figures. His Excuse. ' At a village-in Staffordshire a boy was detained from school to as sist in sorting potatoes. The school master, as usual on such occasions, desired the boy's father to write and state the cause of his absence. The next morning the boy appeared with a note from his father vrhich con tained but one word-"Keptatoma tatering." The schoolmaster, as tonished at such a word, puzzled over it some minutes, but at last discovered it to be "Kept at home a-Utering."-Exchange: - There are .8828 millionaires in America and less tuan twcDty good poets.

Ji nu AllA/riU/OUl* il\XJ2iUJ I CH?FF?E'S HEROISM. i -; ? Ono Day's Work that Brought I Him Promotion. One of tho chapters of General Chaffee's diary deals Arith the fight of the Big Dry Wash in tho summer of 1882, cherished hy cavalrymen as ono of tho gallant ones of their arm of the service. About 150 White mountain Apaches who had taken to the warpath were on ono side of a canyon in the Mogoll?n plateau. Chalice, a major, with a pursuing troop of tho Sixth cavalry, neld the summit of a rocky h?? commanding tho entrance to tp.e canyon. The battle went on for hours. Ono of tho scouts fell some twoscore yards from whero Chaffco was standing. A second scout, at Chaffee's elbow, remarked that tho fallen man was ?ono for, but the major saw that ho was only wound ed. "Come along," said he, "and we'll fetch him in." Then ho threw himself flat on tho ground and ci awl^d toward tho wounded soldiei. ? io scout fol lowed. Slowly and painfully Chaf fee and his companion, in the faco K. t i\ concentrated fire from all tho .indians, worked their way to tho wounded man and half carried and half dragged him hack within tho lines. The handful of troopers on the rock, thrilled with the deed thal had been performed, forgot tho task in hand, stopped fighting and began to cheer. This made Chaffeo furi ous, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Shut up that noise and go shoot ing!" Thus recalled to the work of fighting Indians, the men again turned their attention to their car bines and, relieved in the nick of time by two troops of the Third cavalry, slowly they fought the foe to a standstill. The Apaches, al most to a man, were killed or cap tured. Chaffee was brevetted a lieu tenant colonel for his day's work, and in 1897 tho brevet became a commission.-Kansas City Star. USING DOGS AS TURNSPITS. The turnspit dogs, writes Alice Morse Earle in "Stagecoach and Tavern Days," were little, patient creatures whose lives were Fitent in the exquisite tantalization )f help ing to cook meat, the appetizing odors of which they sniffed for hours without so much ns a taste to reward them at the end of their la bors. The summary and inhuman mode of teaching these turnspits their humble duties is described in a book of anecdotes published at Newcas tle-on-Tyne in 1809. The dog was put into the wheel. A burning coal i was placed with him. If he stopped, his legs were burned. That was all. He soon learned his lesson. It was hard work, for often the great piece of beef was twice the weight of the dog and took at least three hours' roasting. I am glad to know that these hardworking turn broaches usually grew shrewd with age and learned to vanish at the approach of the cook or the ap** pearance of the wheel. At one old time tavern- in New York little brown Jesse listened daily at the kitchen doorstep while the orders were detailed' to* tho kitchenmaids, and he could never be found till nightfall on roast meat days._ Treatment For Gat Poisoning.

Thc term was in course of time applied to the store itself and subsequently to the post office established at tho place. A BIO ire AD.

MONKEY CONGREGATIONS. Service In the Woods For Which tho Birds Furnished Music. The author of "Sands of Sahara" when visiting the gorge of Chifla came upon a strange ceremonial, which, a nativo assured him, was an unusual one. Tho gorge itself is liko a grand sanctuary, canopied hy trees and lighted delicately by thc sun filtering through foliage. A re markable assemblage was thero that day-a congregation of monkeys ap parently holding somo kind of serv ice, to which thc birds of tho forest gave music. Tho monkeys sat in rows upon tho broad, outreaching branches of tho virgin trees. They were in par ties of two, three or four, although ono icl?ow sat alone, like a decorous bachelor. While most of them re mained stationary, certain patriar chal fellows passed about the area of assemblage, sitting down for a few minutes on tho branches beside dif ferent families of thc parish, seem ing to give them counsel. The ceremonies were conducted with the greatest propriety. Tho monkeys seemed to be taking part in a service in which they were deep ly interested. When it was over ; nd they were about to go out into the world, the ruling elders could bo seen running about, passing from tree to tree on tho interlacing branches. Nor did the assembly break up until those evidently re spected officials had visited and sa luted the entire convocation. Even their departure was made most de corously. Then, after that serious council had adjourned, the monkeys fell to enjoying themselves. They scam pered from tree to tree; they swung from branch to branch. Some hung by their tails, and others, in little coteries, hand in hand enjoyed their midair frolic. But the old bachelor did not clasp hands with anybody. Sleepless Fish. The little goldfish, the pet of the household aquariums, never goos to sleep. In this respect the pike and salmon are his equals. They are as alert for their prey in the ocean as the goldfish is for the crumbs that are fed him from household tables. In his native element the goldfish forages for himself and has his eyes open all the time. There are some goldfish in Washington which have belonged to the same family for tho last 50 years, and they Beem no big ger and no less vivacious today than they did when they first came into the owner's possersion. A few of the fish in the imperial aquarium at St. Petersburg are known to be 150 years old, and the age of the sa cred fish in some of the ponds at tached to the temples in China is to be counted by centuries, if we are to believe the Buddhist priests. - A fellow has to be sick once in a while to really enjoy good health.

The Mayor of Winchester, Virginia, has really delivered his town from mosquitoes, and his cuccess has natu rally attraoted wide attention. Winchester, it id noted, was infest ed with the insects, and life in thc town during tho summer had become really intolerable on that account. Nets and bars afforded only partial protection, and additional discomfort. Mayor Barton organized a force and set about the task of fighting the pests with intelligence and vigor, in the general interest. Learning that the larvae were deposited in stagnant or Btill water only, his agents poured kerosene oil-an ounce to overy fifteen j square feet of surface-into every | pond, pool, puddle and sink that could be found. The effcot was "magical." Hhe town is "free from j mosquitoes and the people are sleep- | ing without, nets." Io an interview printed in the New York Sun Mayor Barton says in part: 1 "Up to this time this summer tho insect has hardly been seen, and it is confidently expeoted that a continued application of tho prevention applied will forever rid us of it. Tho first experiments were carefully watched. In ono instance a gentleman stood by a rain barrel watch in hand. In five minutes seventy-five mosquitoes (fe males) arrived, bent on laying their eggs. Of this number seventy-two died as soon as they touched thc oil. There can be no doubt of the succesB of the plan." Mayor Barton, it is added, i*> in constant receipt of applications from all parts of thc country for informa tion as to his method, so that he is compelled to keep printed copies of the local law on the subject, and of tho notioes sent out to the people for its enforcement, which he sends to those writing for information. His plan, however, appears to be simple enough for general application without particular instructions regarding it. The essential thing is to apply the oil to all places where mosquitoes can breed, and ronew the application every ten or fifteen days. This involves some little work and trouble, of course, but not nearly so much as fighting the pesta every day, and all night, through the summer.-Neus and Courier. - When a man turns thc light on others he must not expeet to stay in the shade himself.
