If you are making ooffe for a good
many, take 1 ponnd of Java, 1 of
Maracntbn, a found of Moha and '
gallons of wntnr. Tho Mocha, which is
meant for thn aroma or honqnet, should
have been bnt slightly maatad; thn Mar

well roan ted, rod the Java, which is for
body and effort, should he coaatod just
between the two.
Cafe a la Tnrque is mad In a pecul
iar way and only appreciated by pecul
iar people. The recipe for Its compo
sition Is this: Take Java aad Mocha In
equal proportions; grind and pass
through a very line sieve. Pot ordinary
black coffee, as many cops aa ueeded, in
coffeepot, and for each cup add tea
spoonful of the sifted coffee and a lump
of sugar. Boil this for two minutes;
then take it off and pour in a little cold
water to settle it After it has stood a
few minutes serve it wit powdered
sugar.
Ioed coffee, in New York style, il
merely cafe noir that haa bean cooled in
a china freezer by planing ice around it,
lightly salted. For what la called
mixed ooffee a plat of milk, a gill of
cream, a gill of sirup and a qnart of
black ooffee subjected to the same cool
ing process and served when just this
side of freezing is considered a proper
caper by all who are not real ooffee
connoisseurs.
Brandy coffee is prepared by soma In
the same way a gill of brandy and H
ounces of sugar to the quart of coffon

sons means a cap of cafe noir, over
which a spoonful of brandy, poured on
a lump of sugar, haa been burnt Jnst
as the blue fringed golden flame is ei
piring the spoon should slip Into the
coffee, and after one deft stir the con
tents of the cap sbonld glide down the
gladdened throat
A sherbet of ooffee Is quite fashion -abls
now and quite delioious if properly
made To a quart of ooffee add a quart
of double cream and IS ounces of sugn
and if you wish to be very ohio add
lew drops of vanilla essence. Then put
this tn a freezer with salted ios sur
rounding, keep the sides free as fait as
the ice begins to cling, nnd when it has
reached congelation serve in glnsses
Another fashion of coffee drinking,
which was first Introduced Into this
country by tho Mnxionns at Hie New

which Is held in high esteem by snino

THE FAMILY DOESN'T MIND.
A Pecnllar lloniestle ftcenn In a German
Knloon In New York
There is a popular German restnnrnnt
and suloon on upper Third nvenuo which
is much frequented by families living in
the neighborhood. Tho saloon is sepa
rate from tho restaurant proper. Tho
cooking is very good, and the prices are.
very reasonable, and as a result the pro
prietor has grown wealthy
An odd anclintervNtiiig feature of this
resort is tho family dinner, which oc
curs about 7 o'clock every evening. Thn
family consists of the big, broad shoul
dered host; his small, angular wife; a
jolly sistor-iu-law; threo littlo girls, a
small boy, and a governess whoso fea
tures clearly indicato hor New England
origin. They all sit down together nt a
long table, which is placed not in the
restaurant, but iu the center of tho sa
loon. All around nre tables at which
sit jolly revelers, and frequently during
the dinner hour a crowd stands leaning
against tho bnr.
Tho family does not seem to mind tho
saloon surroundings, nnd, in fact, rarely
does any one of them glance up from
tho table. Tho only interruptions aro
when some of the habitual frequenters
come np to talk with tho host or his
wife. The children chatter and carry
on juntas though they wore iu a pii
vato diuing room. It gives a homelike,
and domcstio air to tho saloon which
probably could not be duplicated in uny
other hostelry on Manhattan Inland.
Tho only person who seems to bo ill at
easo is tho Yankoo governess. New
York Sun.
Poisoning ltace Horses
It may well bo a boast of the Ameri
can turf that the practice of "getting
at" a race borso has never boeu very
oomnion bore, and it is now several
years since tho last well authenticated
caso of poisoning occurred at Saratoga.
This recalls tho fact that the English
turf bos been notorious for such sensa
tions. Early in the century four crack
racers were poisoned at Newmarket,
and two men were arrested. The prin
cipal in the matter escaped on a techni
cality, but was rearrested on anothor
charge of horse poisoning and waa
eventually hanged.
The St Leger favorite of 1831, a
horse named Marcus, was poisoned on
the day before the race. He was just
able to ran, but finished last and died
soon afterward. The perpetrator was
never discovered.
Even more sensational was the "ho
cusing" of Laneroost, the first winner
of the Cambridgeshire, who was in 1843
considered a certain winner of the As
cot cup. He was poisoned, but, like
Marcus, was able to run and finished
last. He did not die, however, but was
retired to the stud. New York Herald.
ConlSn't Smell la the Dark.
An old gentleman too impatient for
his hot water and a light to be brought
rushed into the kitchen, seized hold of
the first pan on the stove and dashed
away with it to his dark room. On
plunging his hands into the wash
hand basin he was amazed to find that
it contained something thicker and

HOW SLATE 13 MINED.
The Wonderful Skill of the Workmen Who
tint It lip.
Tho manner in which slnto Is mined
and ent np for pnrposes to which it is
applied is n process thnt is known to
only a few people In this conntry, Its
principal sources lieing in npiM-r New
Kngland nnd enstern Pennsylvania. It
Is not taken out of shafts, but it is qtmr
ried nut of big holes in tho earth. Homo
timo ngo, when tho writer was at Ban
gor, Pa., ho was invited to go down
into ono of theso quarries, nbont 200
feet deep and overhand on a rope, but
ho declined the invitation, ns I think
most inexperienced persons would do.
Tho statu is blasted out iu huge block
and is hoisted out by steam nnd ttwued
over to thn men who know how to re
duce it to tho proper size. Hugo blocks
of it nrn tnken in hand by thesn work
men, who cut a notch into ono end nf
each piece. Then they take a chisel and
a mullet, nnd they aro so skillful in ill
reeling their blows thnt they can split
tho blocks of slato in almost any way
thny please. If you watch tho slab on
which one of them is working, yon will
see n littlo hair lino running through it,
and presently tho block will fall npnrt
on either side of this mark. Tho work
men will mnko this lino go straight
through tho middle, or to either corner
just ns ho likes. I do not know just how
he does it, bnt ho invnriably accom
plishes what ho sets out to do.
Tho smaller pieces thns produced nre
taken in hand by another set of men,
who split them tip into sheets of thn
proper thickness for rooting slato. This
they do with a long bladeil instrument
nlxjut tho shnpo of a putty knife, but
many times larger, nnd if yon saw
them do it yon would marvel how they
got thn sheets only ono inch thick and
split it 83 times. Tho usnnl nnmlier of
divisions is 10. Theso sheets aro takeu
nnd ent into squares by machinery.
Wherever there aro slnto qunrrii-s you
will find a great ninny Welshmen, for
tho best slaters eomo from Wales. Boys
follow tho trade of their fathers, nnd
theronrowholn families nnd settlements
who know no other means of earning a
living. Now York Advertiser.
The f.nnn as a Dodger.
Thero Is no denying thnt all tho loons
ever hatched up to dato havo been
"artful dodgers" in superlativo degree
Tho question is often raised whether
they are quick enough todoilgonbullet.
I onco had a guido who drew a distinc
tion qnito too flno, ns I thought. Ho
claimed thnt a loon could sco tho flnsh of
a percussion cap nt tho breech of a inns
rlo landing pieco nnd could dodge, lint
admitted that, with the rifto loaded lileo
all modern ones, nt tho breech, no loon
could t'scapo a shot rightly aimed. For
my port, I do not believe tho intervnl of
timo between tho fire nt tho two ends of
tho barrel to bo menHiirablo by eyes of
birds or men or anything short of a
chronograph.
As to tho question, however, it is
possiblo to reason with tolerable confi
dence. Wo know tho speed of a rillo
bullet Cull it 1,400 foet a Bocoml Im
ngino ynnr loon nt thnt distanco or
nearer. Then reflect how slowly a bird's
head must move to nsn up moro than a
second In dropping a few inches under
water. Gravity alnno would carry it
farther than that. It is cosy to bclievo
that if tho wary bird happens to bo look
ing toward tho hunter tho rifle flash
suggests danger. A half second would
give nmplo time to dodge, provided the
action began promptly. It is snfo to say
that it takes a loon's weight in load to
kill him, nnd we may call it settled
that, if a loon docs not dodge a bullet,
at least tho lead goes down in tho samo
hole in tho water. Boston Transcript
German TobaeeonUt'a Joke.
The following "fraud upon nn insur
ance company," whioh we find in The
Deutsche Tahak-Zeitung, is certainly
jnst a littlo too good to be true. A oun
ning follow, who wanted to smoke the
best cigars at the cheapest possible cost,
bought 1,000 cigars of the highest qual
ity and corresponding price and imme
diately insured the whole stock. When
he had smoked the last of them, he de
manded 760 marks from the insurance
company on the ground that the whole
of his insured stock, 10 boxes of cigars,
had been consumed by fire I The Solo
monio oourt decided in favor of the
plaintiff. The company then brought
an action of conspiracy against the
smoker, aocusing him of having inten
tionally put fire to his own cigars and
deliberately destroyed his property.
Hereupon the same wise court con
demned the insured smoker to three
months' imprisonment Westminster

TOO MANY SPARROWS.
The F.nijllh Itlril Is Mot t:ven a Favorite In
Ills tlirn Home.
It appears that tho detested Knglish
pnrrow Is by no means a general favor
ite In his own homo across thn water,
where his habits have been morn care
fully noted
In tho tronrso of his paper on "Wild
Birds, Useful mid Injurious," in tho
Itoynl Agricultural society's Journal,
Mr. (1. V. Archibald says: "Thn sparrow
has received nn overflowing measure nf
aim so from farmers and gardeners, and,
nut withstanding nil that has been urged
In its favor by r-nt IimhIiimI In advocates,
tlicro can be littlo doubt, that it deserves
n large sliarn of tho vituperation bo
stowed upon it. Tho keynote to the spar
row's character Is to Im found iu the
delusion nnilcr which it labor that
com growing is carried on for its es
pecial bctii-fit flraln is undoubtedly thn
mainstay of thn sparrow. This it. ob-
tains iu thn fields nt seedtime, when
sprouting, in the unripe, milky condi
tion, nud when fully mat tired. At this
Inst named period a qiinntity of grain is
wasted by being shaken nut on tho
ground by the birds, in nil tit ion to tho
amount actually consumed At this
time, too, numbers of sparrows which
livn for thn greater part nf tho year In
towns aro tempted to visit tho field,
their grimy appearance proclaiming
their usual haunts.
"In gardens thn sparrow finds full
scope for its destrnctivo propensities in
devouring peas, of which it is very fond,
ns well ns a few gooseberries and cher
ries. In tho most misehinvons way, too,
it pulls to pieces tho flowers of thn
crocus, dahlia, primrose, polynntlius,
hepaticn, heartseaso, wistaria, tho shoots
nf pinks nud carnations, tho pods of the
laburnnm nnd tho blossom of frnit
trees. It also does considerable damngn
to beds of young radishes nud lettuces,
besides levying toll nil tho gTass seeds
sown on lawns. On tho other hand, it
must bo froely admitted that thn spar
row does a great deal of good.
"Among tho pests dostroyed by tho
sparrows nvn wiroworms, daddy long
ings, weevils from peas and benns,
nphides, caterpillars of various kinds,
housefllcs, 'blun beetles,' 'black booties'
and white butterflies. In some districts
choviss, otherwise known ns Maybngs,
occasionally do Immense dnmagn, and
at such times sparrows have been seen
with their months crammed full of
them Thn quality of weed seeds which
tho spnrrow eats must nlso bo placed to
Its credit, for in this way is helps to
suppress such objectionnblo plants ns
charlock, corn bind weed, gooscfoot,
knotgrass, buttercup, dandelion, chick
weed and dock. "

Webster's Portrait. '
Daniel Webster once sat for his por
trait to the late G. P. Healy, and the
senator's remark when he surveyed tho
completed picture became one of the
artist's favorite anecdotes in after years.
"I think," said Webster as he looked
at his counterfeit presentment, "that Is
a face I have often shaved." Healy
found Andrew Jackson a disagreeable
and unwilling "subject," and ho com
pensated himself by painting Old Hick
ory with absolute fidelity to nature, not
glossing a single defect The portrait
gives Jackson an ugly, savage and pal
lid face. Chicago Herald.
