ANCIENT COFFEE. The Way the Beverage Warn Brewed In the Seventeenth <enlury. There are in existence in Great Britain a few copies of an ancient cookbook, published in 1662. that gives what is perhaps the first English recipe for coffee. The recipe r ■ ,ds: “To make the drink that is now much used, call< d coffee "The coffee berries are to lie bought nt any Druggist, about seven shillings the pound. lake what quantity you please, a.id over a charcoal tire, in an old frying pan. keep them always stirring until they be quite black, and when you crack one with your teetli that it is black within as it is without, yet if you exceed, then do you waste the Oyl. and if less, then will it not deliver its Oyl; and if you should continue fire till it be white, it will then m01..' no coffee, but only give you its salt. Beat and force through a lawn sieve. "Take clear water, mid boll one-third of it away, and it is tit for use. Take one quart ot this prepared water, put in it one ounce of your prepared coffee, and boil it gently one hour, and it is tit for your use; drink one-quarter of a pint as lot as yon can sip it. It doth abate the fury and sharpness of the Acrimony, which is the gender of the Diseases culled Cronical." A ( omiiK Lawyer. A young Indy teacher in a West Philadelphia kindergarten thinks that she has discovered a "I’liilnde! hia law yer" in embryo. She made the discovery in one of the exercises incident to teaching the young idea how to count After drawing five on s on the black boa rd mid writing beneath the five sacces'-ive numerals, one. two. throe fur, live, together with a ptin taking verbal explanation, she attempted to test the understanding of the little ones by turning to one bright eyed little fellow and putting the question: "Now. Donald, which would you rather have, five pennies or a five cent piece?" ■ I' ; ve pennies!" Donald promptly replied. "Why. Donald?” asked the teacher patiently. "Because." said Donald, see. if you lost one of the pennies you'd have four left, and even if you lost four you’d have one left; but if you lost the five c<>nt piece, why. it would all be gone—every penny!"—Philadelphia Ledger. Tlie Charm of the Mianisslppl. To not r e eys a trip down the Mississippi is full of wonder. Not the beau ties of the Hudson does one find, nor the castled turrets of the Rhine. nor the gay pageants of the storied Thames, nor the gen ie loveliness of that small stream that graces the mountain region of North Carolina—O thrice fair Swananoa!—but a beauty all its own has this wonderful Mississippi. which on its serpentine way from pearly Lake Itasca to the blue waters ot the Mexican gulf tracers >s 2,616 miles of territory. Its legends and traditions, its great flush times liefore the war. its spectacular history, may all be learned from some quaint old river man who will gladly give full measure of his lore. There is a charm in the vast stretches of forest, in the loneliness of the great stream—Father of Waters—in its mlgbtiiv-ss and supreme length, its sunsets und its sunrises. -Sports Afield. Ganjah Smoking. In Jamaica ganjah. a variety of Indian hemp, is smoked by all classes, with terrible results. It is stated that it was this weed that was used by the leaders of the Indian mutiny to drive the sepoys into the passions of raging mania which they exUlbited during that campaign. Ganjah smoking affects the beginner in a peculiar way. While under Its influence ills senses of time, sound and distance are obliterated. A single minute may seem a month, a child’s voice sounds like the rattle of a machine gun and a little finger may seem a mile long. "Con tinned use.” says the Spatula, "causes cataleptic fits and eventually idiocy or raving homicidal madness."

Sunday Afternoon Outing Party In Pennsylvania OverCome By Flood. Cloudburst Near Jeannette Fills a Ra vine in Which Was Located a Teeming Park. The Loss of Life in the Raging Tor rent Will Reach Not Less Than Thirty. Jeannette. Pa.. July 6. —From thirty to fitly n’"ti. women and children perished by a cloudburst at Oakford park Sunday afternoon. The majority were drowned or their lives were beaten out against the rocks in Brush creek, but a number were electrocuted. At least Blid persons were at the park seeking relief from the heat. When the storm burst the greater number sought the hillside, preferring the shelter of the forest trees to the park buildings, because they did not care to be below the level of the dam but little above the dry season level of Brush creek. When the dam broke a solid wall of water twenty feet high rushed down and completely filled the narrow ravine with its cartracks, carbarn and restaurants. In front of the car-barn stood a car containing from fifty to seventy passengers, many of them seeking to return to Jeannette, others using it as a temporary shelteWith the immense body of water behind it. the crest of the flood bore down with irresistible force. As it swept down the narrow ravine it carried with it in its embrace the loaded streetcar an.l the crowded restaurants. The flood vis filled with men. women and children struggling for their lives. The poles carrying the heavily charged trolley wires were uprooted and strewn along the grounds. In a num ber of instances the victims of the flood, grasping for anything that might save them 'rom the fury of the water, seized the trolley wires and met death by being electrocuted instead of being drowned.
