AN INFERIOR PRODUCT POLISHED TO DECEIVE EVEN EXPERT8. J Tlie Adulteration of tha Popular Kerry s Dig Uatlncti According te m Cblcag Dealer Tite PreceM of "Milling" Cedec, Meclia. The adulteration of cotTee Is an evil of se widespread and well recognized kind that a leading grocer of this city recently Lad a two column "ad" In tlie. paper set ting forth the peculiar methods employed and the differences existing between vari ous growths of coffee. This dealer was seen the ether day by a reporter, te whom he said: "The adulteration of ceffee Is a business, and a large ene at that. Thcre exist, under various names, in New Yerk, Philadelphia and Iialtimore, firms who de e flourishing business In this line, "The work they de and are paid for handsomely is the cleaning, scouring, polishing and coloring of the natural bean. It must net be supposed, howevcr, that this is all dene with the knewledge and counivauce of the retail or wholcsale grocers by whom the ceffee Is afterward sold te the consumer. Net at all. Prob ably fully DO per cent, of these grocers Ignerautly buy what they snppose te be 'Java,' 'Slecha,' and ether high prlced coflee, when in reality they get inferior grades. Yeu bee, It Is a difficult thing te uotermluo exactly the quality of ceffee In the bean. Tliore Is, In point of fact, no euro test te be employed In sampling cof fees but tlie ene of taking thabcau ceffee, roasting it, and making n liquor of It, which Is drunk. That Is tlie only reliable test. What can le learned about ceffee would In reality fill a book, and it takes years and geed opportunities te beceme a connoisseur. "New, what would you take this ceffee te bet" and the expert handed ever two email vessels of roasted ceffee, showing beans of handseme siiape, uniform la slze and pungent of odor. "That is ltuca ltuca Jnarange and the ether Bogota. New, did you ever hear of such cojlce or such places before? And yet this is very geed Central American coiree, apt te be mis taken for Java by even pretty geed judges. And what de you suppese this Is?" IIe showed another small vessel full of unreusted ceffee. The berries wcre of all shapes, Hat and almost globular, some four time3 as large as ethers. But this ceffee, though net roasted, exhaled a pew. erful fragrance, remlndlng ene a little of vanilla. "This is genuine Mecha, sam pled and bought by myself at Aden, Ara bia. They Bay them U mero se called Meclia sold here In Chicago than the whele crop of real Mecha ceffee amounts te. It may be pe." "And hew about the real process of adulteration?" "It Isn't ralled se. It's termed 'fixing' or 'dressing' In the trade. It gulls deal ers as well as tlie public. I'll glve you a few samples of hew It works. Ileal Java cemes, ler Instance, In llattish wevcu mats. On tlie trip across tlie ocean moist beans gencrate damp heat. It gives tlie natural greenisli tint of the berry n ttnge toward tlie yellow and brown. It ulse swells the slze of the berry. Te Itnltstfe Java, Macaralbe, Guatemala uud Sxinte3 Is used all Anierl can coffees. When subjected te a sweat Ing process they begin te leek mero or le33 llke Java, se much se as te decelve even dealers who de net take the treuble te test ceffee by making a sample liquor of It. Yet the difference In price is eight cents a peuud, or U3 per cent. Take auatcmala ceffee. That Is an excellent kind, handseme te leek at and pleasant te ta&te. Hut much of what Is sold under the name is nothing but Cesta Illca, or IUe. A polishing machlne will in a few hours give theso the bluish tint nud the glossy uppearance of genuiue OuatemrJa. Soapsteuo and Prussian blue are used In coloring. Of Iilo thcre Is 111010 Imported than or all ether kinds of coffee probably ten times as much. Thure are all kinds of IUe ceffee. Some Is exquisite, as line In flavor ns almost any coffee. Some are very peer Tlie small Brazilian farmer.! will spread and emu their raw ceffee right en tlie pampas. In drying, the berry will absorb tlie flavor of tlie manure sodden earth, and Buch ceffee w ill be, of course, bad In taste. But you can't tell It half the time until ou roast the berry and bell your ceffee." A local firm which the dealer referred te as "fixing" tlie coffee has a wareheusu that is crammed from cellar te reef with sacks of ceffee and with machinery te "fix" it. They evidently de a very geed trade. Tlie superintendent was watching the leading of a cargo of several hundred sacks of ceffee consigned te a popular mill In town. IIe was nut averse te giving a few points of Information legarding the business In which his liou.se Is engaged. "Nlne-tuuths of our work," he said, "con sists in milling' ceffee. That Is another name for 'polishing.' The machines used in tlie business are plain, horizontal cyl inders and centrifugals. If ceffee is very dry and husky we use a little pure water, about ene gill te the bag, se as te glve it a nlce, clean and smooth appearance. Tha jKillshlng is dene te smooth the berry that's all. Whether dealers afterward soil this ceffee. Improved in leeks, for higher grade than it actually is, is a mat ter with which wu have nothing te de. We are just paid by the mills and larga dealers for cleaning and polishing coffee that end3 it as far as we are concerned. What we are doing here, however, is a thing which has been dene In Germany for ever n hundred j ears. The polishing Is dene simply by attrition. Ne bluing or soapsteuo Is used nowadeys at least net much. Ne, sir, the bulk of the ceffee adulteration, properly speaking, is dene, net In this country, but before it reaches here. Take Mecha as an example The dealers in Aden buy up ether kinds of coffee Malabar and Ceylon and ethers which resemble the genuine article in ap pearance. These they mix with real Mecha, and the product Is then sent all ever the w erld as Mecha. Thus, ) ou see, as a matter of fuct, no genuiue Mecha ex ists in the trade, net if you were te bend your agent te Aden itself te buy it." Chicago Ilerald. rulilter of l'elltlcal rertralts.

The re lationship thus formed was strengthened when. In 1655, Mr Ilewitt married Ills classmate's sister. IIe subsequently went Inte the iron business with his father in law. IIe had practiced law for a short tlme prier te going into business, having been admitted te the bar in 1815. After becoming associated with Peter Cooper in business he went te England for the pur pose of investigating the process of making gun barrel Iren, and during the latter part of the ci 11 war his con cern supplied the United States govern ment at a heavy less.

Carrjltig an Oil Tainting In III Hand II Gees About the Street Lecturing I) fir ms and Shetting Them '.the Cruelty of High Checking Importance. "Down with the check reluP Such Is the war cry chosen by a gentle man of Scandinavian oxtractleu whose liauie Is O. W. Petersen. On Sundays, and en week days, tee, he may be seen at various street comers talking te coach men, teamsters and owners of horses. IIe holds an oil painting In his hands and shows it te the peeple he addresses as an Illustration of his arguments. The picture represents n horse, a Bwan and a man, all checked up high, and bears the following peculiar Inscriptien: "When under high pressuroef lowprlde try the check rein en jeurself." Mr. Poterscn Is laughed at and Jeered at by the peeple he addresses. He Is often taken for a crank and told roughly ie mind his own business, but with the obstinacy and pcrsovcrance of Peter the llernilt, he gees en preaching a crusade against the check rein. IIe Is ene of theso characters who cannot be discouraged by obstacles, and who, having ouee taken up en Idea, will fellow It te the end. "Laugh at me, take me for n. feel," Mr. Petersen says, "but I will stick te my business, and shall deneunce the check rein whenever there Is n chance." Mr. Petersen Is net a member of the Ilumaue socletv. He Is no professional friend of aulmals. In fact, he minds his own business every workday In the week. But as seen as he feels himself at liberty te spare an hour or two he takes his pic ture and gees out en the street te carry en his ocrentrle propaganda. He is n friend of the horses, and he Buffers when he sees them suffer. Jir.QAltDLESS OP COWFOnT. "Fashion is the curse of this nge," said Mr. Petersen; "people will fellow It re gardless of comfort. They will put mountains en their backs and call It the bustle. They will torture themselves In order te comply with certain forms do de clarcd te be the fashion. When peeple torture themselves I de net care. Let them suffer, they ought te knew better, I then think te myself. But when I see helpless nulmals tortured for the sake of complying with ridiculous demands of fashion, I get Indignant and cannot stand It. 'The horse li ene of the most beauti ful aulmals, bocanse of his fiue propor tions and graceful, curved outlines. New leek at that picture. What de yen see thore? Yeu bee the laws of nature vio lated. Yeu see a machlne put upon the herse in order te de away with the curved line his arched neck forms.' "That Is the way I begin my conversa tion with the peeple haudlhig horses and using the check rein. "I tell them that this check rein Is net only disfiguring the herse but also injur ing his health. It robs him of comfort, it makes him nervous, and he can't see anything, because of being forced te leek upward unto the sky. Then I point te the swan, and ask the coachman what that nohle bird would leek llke If a check rein would be put ever her head. Then I point te the checked up man, nnd ask the coachman te tell me hew he would feci If he were checked up In a llke manner. " 'Hew would j-eu feel, man?' I say. 'The first few minutes you would proba bly cudure this constraint without mucli cemplalut. But then you would begin te kick. In a Bhert tlme your neck would begin te ache, and your mouth would be filled with bleed from the fruitless efforts te get the head down. Yeu would be be bo cemo restless and begin te toss your head just as your herse Is doing It new. Hew would you feel if, whlle the sun were blinding your eyes, with a burden te draw or carry, unable te see where te step, you were whtpped into a fun, into a ditch or depression in the rough street pavement? Would you foci comfortable? That'H why you often see fiue horses harnessed te elegant carriages paw vigorously, champ the bit, toss the head, and turn the neck. They went te loosen the check, lower the head, and get a rest.' new Tin: diuvxii takes it. "The driver smiles or laughs, orstam erstam orstam mers something. IIe thinks I am a queer fellow, and gees en te explain tliat he would net mind loosening the check, but the peeple who employ him wcre opposed te It, want mero style, and se en. " 'Well, then,' 1 say, 'call your people'u attention te the fact that the horses are being tortured by the check rein. Tell them that the horses would be killed iu a short tlme because of the sllly.faslilen. "I thus go ou lecturing. 'Often the drivers and coachmen really fellow my advice and remedy the tiling. But often the peeple are stubborn anil de net care te listen te what I say. "I have discovered that my painting helps me a geed deal In my work. I took it ene Sunday te the People's church at McVlckcr's. Thcre was a long row of carriages with line horses standing In freut of the theatre. The horses wcre all checked up. I showed the picture te the coachmen. They laughed and fired nt me all kinds of silly remarks. Finally n young ceuple dreve up In a carriage te tlie theatre. The herse was restless. I showed my picture te the young gentle man and explained te him tlie reason of the horse'ti restlessness. The young gen tleman thought he had a feel freui the insane asylum before him. The unl unl fermed coachmen steed ureuud grinning, uud awaiting developments. "Well, I gave them a practical lessen right thcre en the spot. I unchecked, the horse, aud there he steed quietly and comfortably, showing no blguH of being unmanageable. The check having been loosened the herse dropped his head. His neck assumed Its natural arched form. He at ouce became an object of admira tion for all the ill ivcrs. Tlie young gen tleman thanked me for my advice, and the lady that was with him thought that iny picture was tlie best scheme devised for tlie welfare of horses. "It Is only a few weeks slnce I began te use my picture, and,! find It much mero eloquent than words. Some tlme in the near future I shall also have ethor pictures copied and painted. I'll show them a herse In Its natural position; a pair of horses, ene checked uud another loeso; a bpau of horse, easy and graco grace ful, because of their net being over ever checked; and a pair of work horses with check reins ou. The pictures will be mero telling than words, and the crusade ugalust the check rein will make rapid progress." Chicago Tribune. DC TOUT MON CCEUR.
