Molasses, ryo (lour, chickory and othor ingredients outer into tho composition or tho bonus cofToo, mid it is claimed thnt it pontnins nothing injurious to health. Tho secret of tho preparation, however, is joulotisiy gimrdcd. Tho mnnnfnrtnre of tho bogus coffee berry is commenced on tho third (lour of tho fuctory, otherwise known as tho mixing room. At ono end of a big room a hugo tub is located, where tho different ingredients are thoroughly beaten up tho mixture, looking very much liko children's mud-pto batter. It is uext placed in a sort of grinding innchino, over which a young girl pre aides. Her work is to sen that the preparation is thoroughly ground, and to look after tho long, brick-alinped cakes as they como from tho oven. Tho putty-liko subntaneo is now ready for tho next machine, which merely rolls it out in thin idiocts, sim ilar to pio-crust. A third contrivance cuts these sheets into long, narrow -strips about an inch iu width. Up to this point tho composition lias not tho slightest resemblance to -coffee. It tnstca very strongly of mo lasses, and is slightly bitter. The Jiext process is tho stamping of the long strips into beans. Tho machin ory that does this work is very intri cate. There aro a number of wheels, about six inches in diameter, ami on--circled by a brass band. At ovon in tervals there aro indentations just the size and shapo of the convex side of tho coffee bean. The flat grooved sido of tho bean is formed by another brahs-lmndod wheel, stamped iu a sim ilar fashion. Tho long thin strips are run into this machine and are divided by knives into twoor threo strips, tho ex act width of the bean. In running through tho wheels tho beans are stamped out with bewildering rapidity falling into square sieves placed direct ly beneath the machine. . Tho beans arc carried to tho floor beneath, where tho drying room is located. A long double tier of clos ets extends from one ond of this room to tho other. Inside of thoso closets aro steam pipes. The sieves containing the stampod coffee beans are placed in the closets and the steam is turned on. One hundred and thirty degrees is tho temperature required, ud the bean is left for several hours to thorougly dry. The bean is, of conrse, still very rough, and would easily bo detected as spnrious were it not smoothed down. For this proces a dozen re volving sieves are required. The boan is taken from the sieves, and is smoothed and polishod by friction. Iu the bottom of each sieve there is a funnel-shaped trap through which tho beans full into a reoeptaole on the floor below. The compound now tastes like oof fee, and were it not for a slight mo lasses flavor it would be almost impos sible lo distinguish it from nature's product. The filial process is to roast the bean in the same manner as the genuine article. Any desired shade can be obtained in roasting, thus imi tating the various brands of coffee. The entire process of manufacture occupies about two days. The Largest Steam Engine. The largest steam ingiue in tho 'world is now in process of completion iu the works of Bultzer Brothers, ut Wintorthur. It works with four cylin ders, the steam for which is furnished by four boilers with 2,000 horse power iipncitr. The engine is G3 feet loner o and 45 feet wide. The flywheel meas ures. 23 feet in diameter. When com-, pleted the monster will be put into Juisrj factory iu St. Petersburg. A Slot- nf Hard l.uck. Along in tho late IIO's I was in New York, ami ono morning I woko up, after having had only ono meal in two days, to And myself the possessor of a llvo-ecnt piece. I was as hungry as a bear, and entirely without valuable except my overcoat, and tho weather was bitterly cold. I left my tempo rary lodging placo a stranger in a stratigo town, and walked np llroad wny, in tho hopes of meeting sumo ono I knew. For threo or four hours I plodded back and forth, when sud denly a feminino voieo culled my niime, and I was greeted by a young Inly whoso family I had known in (teorgia. Wo chatted a minute or two, and alio asked me to como over to Ilrooklyn, where they were living, before I left New York. I said I was going to leave that evening, and, as I had hoped, she begged mo to como over and toko dinner that very day. I promised, and she left mo with tho re mark that they dined at (I. It was thon barely noon, and I was nearly famished. The faro to Ilrooklyn was then threo cents, no I wandered down town toward tho Wall Ht. pier, and bought (wo apples with two cents out of my precious five. At last tho time camo to embark, anil over to Ilrooklyn I went. My friends lived iu Mon tague at root, whero tho Wall Ht. ferry boats laud, and I was quickly at tho house. They were all delighted to soo me, and asked a million questions, which I could give no connected an swers to on account of tho occasional clink of dishes iu tho dining-room. That sound set mo nearly crazy. At last dinner was announced. Tho father took his seat at the head of tho table behind a big silver bowl of steaming soup. Wo were all helped, and I was praying for my portion to get cool enough to sip, w hen I hope I may dio if my host didn't fall back out of his chair, stricken with apoplexy. Of course, there was no more dinner; everything was excited and hysterical, and I got out of tho house as soon as I could. Nothing was left for me to do but pawn my coat. I did so, nto an immense supper, nml the effects of it made mo sleepy. When I was awakened to pay the check I didn't huvo a cent. I had been robbed while dozing. I was kicked out of tlio place. Talking about hard luck and out iu tlio cold world, out in tho street, I tell you I had enough of it in a few hours that timo to hHt mo nil my life. I slept in an all-night lunch Iiouhc, whoso clerk took pity on me, that night, and next day managed to get a temporary job telegraphing j but it was a tough and awful experience. My old friend was buried two days after tho dinner, but I couldn't go to tho funeral, because I didn't have uu overcoat. Washington Star, A (ioeil Advertisement. "What constitutes a good advertise mcut?" I asked this question tho other day of a man who lias a national reputation as a writer of bright, floc tive and trade-creating advertisements. Ho replied : "There is a wide diver genco of opinion among advertisers as ti what tho ingredients of a good ad. consist of and each is entitled to some consideration, for among the most successful advertisers are man whose methods are widely at variance Iu my opinion it is of prime importance that an advertisement contain nothing but tho plain, unvarnished truth. No deviation from this principle is per missible, for fictitious offers are apt to bo taken seriously, and whon buy ers cannot find the articles iu the store Ut the prices quoted iu the advertise mout they soon buoomo distrustful of tho mercnant who socks thus to entrap them. Brevity is also an important factor. Then again an advertisement should have a bright, catchy introduc tion that will arrest tho reader's atten tion until his mind has absorbed the substanoo of tho ad. I also believe in a liberal use of price-figures and in frequent offerings of genuine bargains. It must also be remembered that an advertisement, like a dozen of eggs, may be spoiled in setting. Typography will make an advertisement, no mut ter how small, stand out prominently is what is needed." Buffalo News. The Miseries of Rank. Haughty Baron Waiter, what have you got to eat?

IMPORTATIONS of wool and silk and wool goods are beautiful and varied. In black goods alone 6 there are shown a greater num ber of different weights ami weaves, crepon effects, stripes and figures be ing all seen. 1'lain goods also, linn rietta, serge and the new waterproof material called cravnnntte a hard twisted light-woight stuff that doos not crumple are fashionable, while enter ing the domain of oolor so large a field for choice is opened that it is confus ing to a woman who has not previously (leeiilod upon what she requiros. A wide variety of two toned woolen goods is shown in all tints, figured and plain, woven on the ssme princi ple as changeable silk, while in solid colored materials covert cloth and ONB OF TITR serge, with smooth finished cloth, are in the majority. Besides those al ready mentioned there is an endloss show of chocks and plaids, both large and small, mixed goods, bouolo goods and goods with a pattern of one oolor laid on a ground ot another. These last materials are batter for combin ing with plain stuff than for making up into eutire gowns. Volvet and satin, re-employed for trimming, moire having begun to do oline in favor, It has already out lived its usefulness, being of transient beauty and quickly rendered shabby by dampness and wear. A good qual ity of satin or peau de aoie is the most serviceable of silk goods, Hpanglod passementerie has fallen greatly in price, which may be taken as an indi cation that it is no longer esteemed by fashion authorities. It would naturally decline with moire, as it belongs to the same era of glitter. Striped stuffs are very fashionable at preseut, and in slanting bars they are very effective for bodice use. A gown of reddish amthyst rep has black wavy stripes of jet slantwise round and round the figure. The sleeves are of black velvet to the el bow and below of the stripod goods. It's a difficult job for the most skill ful hand to attain this trellis effeot and have it acourate. Without accura cy it will look like a dreadful botch. With the stripes running perpendicu larly the task is easier. A NEW BONNET. The distinctive feature in millinery so far shown is the feather tumbling off behind. You' see it on all the hats and bonnets, whatever the shapes. The new model shown here is of olive green velvet, trimmed with black jet passementerie, studded with white crystal, black ostrich feathers, black satin ribbon. The front is faced, with peach colored tatin, making the bon net ! unusually becoming. The shape is to be recommended only for piquant faces, though we shall probably see BONNET OF OLIVE OF P.

The illustrated model is finished with a band, cuffs and collar of dark blue chinchilla. The sleeves are lined with satin, so that the garment can be put on and off without a struggle. TWO MODES OF HAIB DRESSING. Two quite distinct methods of hair dressing are now in vogue. In one the hair is knobbed away np on the head as grandmamma wore hers; in the other it is braided and turned loosely up and fastened with just oue great jeweled pin. This last fashion is, of course, only for the girl who doesn't care a rap if her hair does como down and really rather wants it to. BILK-LINED GLOVES.
