THE COFFEE PLANT.

Traaaport*4 «• Arabia.
The orlflB Qf coffee Is lost In the
mists of antiquity, but the plant is be
lieved to be. a native of Abyssinia and
to have been carried thence into Arabia
early in the fifteenth century,- whence
the Meccan pilgrims soon carried it to
all parts of the Mohammedan world.
A bureau of commerce and labor pub
lication notes that Burton in his “Anat
omy of Melancholy” (1«21) makes this
reference to it: “Turks have a drink
called coffee, so named from s berry
black as soot and as bitter, which they
sip up hot. because they And by experi
ence that that kind of drink so used
helpeth digestion uud promoteth alac
rity.”
Although brought to Venice by s phy
sician in 1501, it was only in 1G$2 that
the first coffeehouse was established
in London, and it only became fashion
able In Paris in 1000, says the- same
authority. England gradually forsook
coffee for tea, but the progress of the
beverage, though slower, was steadier
In France. '
Until 1006, when the Dutch began to
successfully grow coffee trees in Java
from the Mallbnr (Indig) bean, all cof
fee came from Arabia. The coffee cul
ture of the West Indies and Central
and South America had its beginnings.
It Is said, in a slip taken from s tree In
the botanic gardens at Paris, which
had obtained a vigorous growth from a
cutting said to have been stolen from
the botanic gardens at Amsterdam. All
the plantations of the eld end. new
world are pr&cticnlly/derlved from the
specimens taken from Arabia, first to
India, thence to Java and etaewbere.

Girls who are fond of earrings may
perhaps be Interested in bearing a
few facts about them. Sad it ia for the
emancipated woman of the present
day to learn that these fashionable or
naments were originally a mark of
slavery. In bygone days the slave al
ways wore his master s earrings. In
tbe east they were a sign ol caste ami
were buried with the dead. Some an
cient earrings were very elaborate, and
many statues had their ears bored in
readiness for votive offerings of ear
rings. In England tbe earliest earrings
were very cumbrous and" made of
stone or wood. Tbe eighteenth century

A Mew Application of Seriptnre.
There was rejoicing in the village at
the killing of s pig. Being dead, it
was cut up. A neighbor's cat stole se
cretly Into the_larder an* annexed a
piece of pork, which she brought In
triumph to her mistress. Nett day the
dergymdn of the parish visited the old
woman, who' recounted to him the re
markable sagacity of the beast “It
'was quite beautiful, sir,” she said
piously, “to see the way the sweet
. i creature brought me tbe piece of pork.
