COFFEE, AKAB STYLE.
VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY WE
PREPARE IT.
A Navnfl Officer** Experience at a
Function at the House of a Sheik
Who Had Not Been Exposed to For
eign Influence*.
This account of coffee drinking as prac
ticed by Arabs who have not been ex
posed to foreign inllueuce is told by a
British naval otlicer of high rank. The
place was the town of Semail, in the ter
ritory of the sultan of Oman, at the ex
treme southeastern corner of the Arabian
peninsula. Semail lies 120 miles from
Muscat, the capital of Omau, and 90
miles from the sea. At the time of this
visit there had been but two other Eu
ropeans in Semail in all its history.
"An Arab town," said tbe naval officer,
"is scarcely what is suggested by the
English meaning of the word. It is more
a collection of detached houses, each sur
rounded by its own grounds of from 30
to 100 acres. As my travels in Oman
were conducted under the immediate pro
tection of the sultan, and as be had pro
vided for my special use bis own particu
lar riding camel, I was received every
where with great respect. My reception
In the house of one of the principal
sheiks of Semail took place on tbe sec
ond day of my visit to the town, when
I paid u call upon Mohammed b'in Naser
el Hinawy.
"In accordance with Moslem custom,
I pronounced the uame of God on cross
ing the threshold, and while being con
ducted to the divan by my courteous host
gave the salutation 'Es salaam aleikum,'
the salutation of peace to tbe assembled
company. A beautiful carpet of Persian
work and a pillow covered with embroid
ered silk were ready for my reception.
Putting off my shoes at the edge of the
carpet, and after a short but ceremonious
dispute with my host as to who should
sit down first, I was established on the
carpet, with the pillow at my back for
comfortable support.
"Close to the seat of the host and a
little to his left was a small raised plat
form of stone on which were placed the
requisite utensils for preparing coffee.
A small charcoal fire, urged to a white
heat by means of a pair of bellows,
provided the boiling water. On either
side of the fire were two large jugs of
some white metai as well as several
smaller ones. On a shelf near by were
several zarfs and fingans. The zarf is
the holder for the coffee cup, and these
on the shelf were of various metals, some
of gold beautifully worked, some of sil
ver, and some even of copper. The fingan
is a coffee cup without a handle and hold
ing about as much as a liqueur glass;
these were of china and porcelain of dif
ferent designs und value.
"The coffee muker was a black slave
said to have come from the frontiers of
Abyssinia. lie seemed to be about 23, of
slight aud graceful form, with finely cut
feutures and well molded limbs, quite
black and with hair almost woolly. His
costume consisted of a waist cloth of
colored cotton supported around his waist
by a piece of cord tucked up on one side,
and a sort of embroidered waistcoat but
toned in front but leaving arms and legs
ba re.
"It is not in accordance with desert
etiquette to introduce for discussion any
serious matter until after coffee has been
served, so that the conversation consists
almost entirely of general topics aud the
interchange of compliments. While this
very small talk is gravely going on the
slave, having first let down his waist
cloth so that it hangs down below his
knees, passes around among the company
with a small straw mat in one hand, a
mat made of various colored grasses and
about the size of a dessert plate. In the
other hand he carries a cylindrical grass
box from which be pours coffee berries
upon the grass mat. All berries which
are not of the right color he picks out
and throws away or returns to the box.
TV ithout any ostentation be manages to
call tbe attention of all the guests to the
fact that the berries be has selected are
all of the best tint.
"Then, pouring the berries from the
mat into an iron Indie, he roasts them
over the charcoal fire, which he blows to
a white heat with the bellows. Coffee
berries in Oman are never roasted to that
dark brown or black color which is com
mon in Europe and America, but are con
sidered at their best when they take on a
rich reddish brown color. Turning the
roasted berries out to cool on the grass
mat Abdullah, for that is the name of
the slave, sols one of the large metal
jugs on the fire to warm.
"The coffee is not ground in a machine,
for that would waste all its fine essential
oil, but is pounded up in a mortar made
of dark and hard basalt having a deep
narrow well, into which the berries are
poured. Taking the mortar between his
knees, Abdullah forces the pestle iuto the
well and down upon the roasted berries,
which he slowly crushes into a fine grit
of which every particle is about the size
of small seed pearls or mustard seed.
"By this time the water in the large
jug on the tire Is nearly boiling. Filling
one of the smaller jugs with the almost
boiling water, he throws in the crushed
coffee nnd allows it to boil for a short
time, stirring it all the time with a stick.
Then, placing on a brass tray the best
zarfs and fingans, the slave tills the cups
with the infusion, keeping the grounds In
the jug by means of a piece of bark held
over its spout. Handing the tray to the
most honored guest, t he says. 'Bernmoo,'
which weuus 'l'rououuce the name of
God.'
"Taking the cup from the tray and
looking at his host, the honored guest
pronounces the groat formula of Moham
medanism in the words 'Bismillnh ur
rahman ur-rnhim,' which mean 'ln the
name of God the compassionate and
merciful.' Then the guest sips his coffee
without sugar or milk, but sometimes a
few aromatic seeds or ambergris may be
added, if the guest is of very high rank,
the host takes bis own cup immediately
after the guest, but under ordinary cir
cumstances he waits until all tbe com
pany has been served."
He Slept.
Dean Ramsay, tbe witty Scottish di
vine of tbe eighteenth century, used to
tell a story about one of the earls of
Lauderdale. His lordship was taken very
ill, the worst symptom being insomnia an
an aggravated form. His little son. bear
ing that recovery would be impossible
without sleep, said, "Send for the preach
ing mon frae Livingston, for faytber aye
6leeps when that minister is in the pul
pit." The doctors considered that to act
on the suggestion would be judicious, so
the minister wus immediately brought.
He preached a sermon; sleep come on—
And the earl recovered.
HE WANTED TO BE INSULTED.
But n lira.ce of l'lntols Prevented
HI in Prom Belnir Obliged,
"\\ lienever I see a regulation railway
lunch counter," said a man at the Texas
and Pacific depot—"l mean one of the
kind with high stools and stacks of
doughnuts and petrified pies under gloss
shades—l am reminded of a queer little
incident that occurred several years ago
at Texarcana. I was on the train com
ing down to New Orleans from the north
west, und we stopped at the place to get
supper. The depot was provided with
such a lunch counter as 1 have describ
ed, and when I took possession of one of
the stools I found myself next to a typi
cal cowboy, with wide white sombrero,
leather leggings, enormous spurs and a
pair of big six shooters hanging low down
over his hips. A livid scar, evidently the
result of a knife wound, ran from the
corner of his eye to the angle of his jaw,
and his whole appearance was so sinister
and forbidding that I edged instinctively
as far awuy as 1 could get. A few mo
ments later a big, coal black negro came
sauntering in and deliberately seated
himself on one of the stools at the other
side. The passengers who were eating
exchanged glances of indignation, but he
was a vicious looking fellow, and nobody
cared to invite certain trouble by ordering
him out. Presently the tough cowboy
leaned over and tapped me on the shoul
der.
" 'Scuse me, stranger,' he said in a
hoarse whisper, 'but will you please call
me a liar?'
" 'What!' I exclaimed in amazement.
" 'I want ter git you ter cull me a
liar, if you don't mind,' he repeated, still
in a whisper. 'Boiler it right out, so as
everybody kin hear!'
" 'But why should I call you a liar?'
I asked, beginning to doubt his sanity.
" 'Well, I'll tell you,' he replied earnest
ly. 'As soon as you do, I'll rip and cuss
some, and then I'll pull out my gun and
take a shot at you.'
" 'Take a shot at me!' said I in alarm.
" 'Yes,' said he, 'but it's all right. I'll
miss you and accidentally hit the nigger.
See? Go uhead now and cut loose.'
"I begged hastily to be excused. I as
sured him that I liked the idea and
didn't doubt his marksmanship, but I
was a little nervous about firearms and—
well, I hardly know what I said, but I
gulped down my coffee as quickly as 1
could nnd made a bee line for the outer
air. Before the tiaiu started I eucoun
■ tered the cowboy on the platform. He
was looking gloomy.
" 'You didn't get a chance to put your
little scheme into execution?' I remarked
inquiringly.
"'No, doggone the luck!' he replied.
'I couldn't get a single white man ter in
sult me!' "—New Orleans Times-Demo

HER STOCK OF PROVERBS.
Slie Applied Them With More liber
ality Tiinit Judgment.
Just a few samples will serve to show
that she has, iu another form, the same
trouble that made Mrs. Partington so in
teresting. The Detroit woman on the
sunny side of 40 is handsome, kind heart
ed and lisps, but the applicatiou of com
mon sayings is to her as a sealed book.
She looked out the front door und ex
citedly called to her husband: "My, Tom,
but it's a lovely night. Just as clear as
a doornail."
One day she received some callers
while it was storming. "Nasty, isn't it?
llow unfortunate for you. But beggars
can't be choosers."
A bachelor uncle, from whom she bad
great expectations, paid her a visit. lie
bus convivial habits and an incandescent
nose. Ho was expatiating on some of his
secret charities, nnd she was congratulat
ing him on so letting his light shine be
fore men, when he abruptly left and sent
word the next week that he had changed
his will. She replied chiding him gently,
and closed with, "But let us remember,
uncle, that a fool and his money are soon
parted, and that other Scriptural teach
ing, that no rich man can go through the
eye of a needle."
The doctor was treating her for neural
gia. She .objected to the strength of the
medicine and added plaintively, "But all
the world loves a lover, doctor."
When the cook broke a costly platter,
the little woman assured the tearful of
fender that all is not gold that glitters.
When her husband told her of a loss
through au unfortunate investment, she
threw her arms about his neck and con
soled him with the assurance that the
proof of the pudding is in the eating.
She thanked her minister for a pastoral
call by telling him that fools rush in
where angels fear to tread, and, in writ
ing an excuse for her little boy's absence
from school, worked in the sentiment
that there is no fool like an old fool.—

A Walking Fern.
There is a fern which, by its peculiar
habit of growth, may almost just lay
claim to the popular uame of the "walk
ing fern."
The fronds arch over, and the fine,
slender points coming iu contact with the
soil take root. New growth again pro
ceeds from the latter, which, in its turn,
roots also, so that the locale of the plant
is continually moving forwurd and sug
gesting the idea of walking.
This peculiar fern is quite hardy and
succeeds well in a soil of peat, leaf mold
and sand, in a shady position which is
moist in summer aud fairly dry iu win
ter. The fronds are heart shaped, bright
green in color, 0 to 12 inches long.—Lon

| WORRY IN THE HAIR.
j A SUBJECT THAT IS EARNESTLY CON
SIDERED BY MANY WOMEN.
| 3onie of the Tiling* l"ed to Keep
Ilnlr From Fulllnw Out or Turning
Cai'ity Our Grandmothers Were
Bald Despite Their Mun> Hemodlm.
If it is fair to judge by the way the
women talk, this question of what to do
for the hair is the greatest rival that the
servant girl question has. Those who
talk about it are frankly worried, while
those who say nothing are quietly experi
menting with washes and lotions recom
mended by specialists or by sympathetic
friends. If your hair is "falling out by
handfuls," there is some comfort in the
thought that your neighbor's is doing the
very same thing, and if you find nearly
everything you try a biauk failure so far
as remedying the evil is concerned rest
content that she is having the same expe
rience. After all, though, the person
who declares that balduess is on the in
crease is a good deal of an alarmist.
Look at the woman of 50 years of age.
It is only in rare instances that she is
narrowed down to a thin wisp of hair,
while the woman of the generation be
fore her was often the victim of a bald
pate and of a cap to cover it long before
she hud reached the half century mark.
Most persons talk as if this evil of fulling
buir were something entirely new. If it
is, why did our grandmothers feel it nec
essary to anoint their heads with tea or
with sage tea, and why were all the po
mades and washes and lotions concocted?
Considering the advice and hair invig
orators which used to be generally ac
cepted, it is no wonder that the cap was
only a matter of time. The usual plan
was to brush the scalp until redness uud
a warm glow were obtained and then to
dab among the roots of the hair with
some one of the hair lotions. If this lo
tion produced a smarting sensation, all
right and good; if not, the brushing was
resumed. The basis of most of the iuvig
orntors was either the tincture or the
vinegar of cuntharides, nnd cantharides
is really another name for Spunish flies,
the chief ingredient in very hot piasters.
It stands to reason that the process of
pummei g an already sensitive scalp
with a stiif hairbrush, then adding a blis
tering compound of fire aud cologue and
perhaps a little rosewater was enough
to set up an answering irritation. Some
times tea was mixed in, and an old fash
ioned hair tonic was made by scalding
two ounces of black tea with one gallon
of boiling water, straining off the liquid
aud adding to it glycerine, cantharides
and bay rum in generous proportions.
This of course made n large supply of
the wash, but since it was to be applied
twice a day it was well to have plenty on
hand.
Pomatums for the growth of the hair
have always been considered inferior to
the lotions In elficaey. Pomatums or po
mades were often used merely as a dress
ing for the hair without any idea of re
newing its growth. The pomades were
often delicately colored and delicately
scented, but nevertheless the fact re
mains that the basis was in most cases
nothing more or less than a mixture of
lard und suet. The combination might
be of two parts lard and one part beef
suet or of five parts lard and two parts
mutton suet, the latter mixture used ;
chiefly In white pomades. In either onse 1
the suet was subjected to a purifying
process. For a long time the fat of the
bear was held in high esteem for pro
moting the growth of the hair, perhaps
because its rankness made it seem pow
erful. As a matter of fact little of lhe
so called bear's grease which eager
searchers after something to Improve
their hair used to try had ever been In
Bight of a bear. The dealers readily con
cocted a mixture of pure lard and palm
oil with a few other ingredients and
passed it off on the satisfied nnd unsus
pecting public.
All of these nnd many more tonics
have had their firm admirers, those who
were ready to say that they were the
best things in the world for the hair, and
that proves very conclusively that ev
cry scalp has its own peculiar little
traits, and what will make one person's
hair cease from falling and crop out in a
luxury of new sprouts will bring the
next person dowu with her locks to de
spair.
It is ns nonsensical trying to Iny down
n course of treatment for all heads as
trying to devise a treatment for nil com
plexions. In both cases the health must
be taken into account. One person with
a most beautiful skin may doclure that it
is the result of never using soap on her
face, while if another blindly followed
her example the result would be far
from charming. It is a bad plan to try
anything just because some one else has
found it good. For instance, one woman
whose hair by right of age should be thin
has a heavy mass of soft, pretty hair.
Her chosen hair tonic has beeu a pat
ented remedy in which sugar of lead, sul
phur. ammonia, glycerin and water ap
pear in varying proportions. A person of
nervous temperament, with a highly irri
table skin, would be very unwise to fol
low her example. Furthermore, what is
good for an oily scalp would be the
height of folly for a dry scalp. Even
with the same individual the treatment
frequently needs changing. The scalp,
in the first place, might he covered with
dandruff. To cure this there is nothing
better than some mixture containing cor
rosive sublimate. After the symptoms of
dandruff have disappeared there is no
longer need of the corrosive sublimate,
and something to merely nourish the
roots of the hair should be substituted.
The only unvarying rules are: Give your
hair ns nuich freedom ns possible by nev
er knotting it at night for one thing. Do
not brush and mangle your scalp as you
would scrub a floor, but rather treat 'it
gently and favor it as you would a sick
frliild. Avoid close and heavy lints. Have
your sleeping room cool, and loQk out for
your general health. If you obliged
to do much nerve or brain work, you may
expect your hair t" grow thin, but if you
can keep n good digestion there is hope.

A SPOT BLEACHER.
It "Will Clean tlie Piano Keys and
Take Out Ink Stainu.
To keep piano keys clean nnd prevent
the discoloration of the ivory, dampen a
piece of muslin with alcohol and with it
rub the keys. The alcohol can do no sort
of damage to the ivory, and if it is fre
quently applied the keys will stand iu
! want of no other treatment; but, if they
j have already begun to turn yellow, then
try rubbing them with a piece of cotton
flannel wet in cologne water. Even old
aud discolored ivory may be rejuvenated,
uo matter what the cause of the discol
oration nor of how long standing. An
acid, applied repeatedly, will usually re
store the keys to their original whiteness.
Cotton flannel cloths, wet with a saturat
ed solution of oxalic acid and water aud
laid upon the keys, will remove nil stains.
Care should always be taken in the use
of such a bleacher as this that it does not
touch anything from which the color is
not to be removed, for it does its work
with more certainty than discretion.
This same solution of oxalic acid nnd
water is sometimes used in removing ink
spots, especially when the ink spot is on
paper, as on the margin of a good book.
One teuspoonful of the oxalic acid aud
wuter to make a saturated solution are
the only needfuls. Dip a finger in the
solution and press it gently into the ink
spot. If this is done repeatedly and with
out rubbing the paper, the objectionable
blot will eventually fade from view. An
other method of removing ink marks
from paper is to mix a teaspoon ful of
chloride of lime with water just suffi
cient to cover it. Apply this with a soft
cloth, merely patting the spot. As either
intentional writing or mere blots will
yield before this sort of treatment, care
must be exercised in its use. Printing
ink is, however, quite safe from the as
saults of either lime or the acid.
Thumb marks on the pages of books
may be removed by first rubbing the spots
with soft bits of stale bread. Whatever
reinuins of the marks after that treat
ment may need a gentle touching up with
a bit of cloth dampened in the oxalic
acid nnd water solution. If by any mis
chance a large nnd obnoxious grease spot
should fall upon a page or someipuges of
u book, it may be removed. Put a piece
of blotting paper under the spot and an
other piece of blotting paper over it nnd
then add the weight of a warm iron.
Much of the grease will come out nud be
absorbed by the paper. Ilent a very lit
tle esseutial oil of turpentine till it is very
hot, then apply it to the still warm nnd
greasy leaf of the book, spreading it on
both sides with a clean brush. More
clean blotting paper nnd a warm iron will
complete the cure.—New York Sun.
PAIN WITHOUT SUFFERING.
A PljyNlcfnn'n View of a Phenomenon
of tlie Use of AnicMthetles.
"Pain is a great mystery," remarked a
physician of this city who has a fondness
for the recondite side of his profession.
"It is claimed by certain theorists that
people who are placed uuder the iulluence
of an anaesthetic for surgical operations
renlly suffer everything they would other
wise, but forget about it when they re
turn to consciousness, and a good many
ingenious arguments are advanced to
support the proposition. It is rather a
ghastly idea, and I am glad to say that
the real evidence is all the other wuy, but
it is a pretty well established fact that
certain oniesthetics—ether, for instance,
and nitrous oxide gas—will sometimes
prevent suffering without destroying con
sciousness of pain.
"That sounds like a paradox and is
somewhat difficult to explain without be
coming more paradoxical still. The ef
fect of the anaesthetic in the strange
cases to which I refer is to render pain
pleasant. While apparently insensible,
the patient is fully conscious of every
thing that is going on, and the nerves re
spond as readily as ever, but instead of
producing physical discomfort the effect
is exactly the reverse.
"I hnve encountered several anomalies
of that kind and one quite recently. The
subject was a middle aged man whose
foot had been injured in an accident. 1
had to amputate the two last toes, and
the operation, which was uuder ether,
lasted about 20 minutes. When the man
recovered from the influence of the drug,
he tried to tell me about his sensations,
but although lie struggled hard he could
find no words in which to express them.
*1 felt all the pain,' he said, 'but some
how it didn't hurt me.' 'Then it wasn't
pain,' said I. endeavoring to draw him
out. 'Oh, yes it was.' he replied earnest
ly, 'but I liked it: I didn't want you to
stop.' lie repeated n number of things
that had been said during the operation
and it was evident that he had been
conscious all the while—at least couscious
of his surroundings.
"The other patients seemed to have had
practically the same experience ami en
countered the same difficulties in making
themselves understood. They were try
ing to express the inexpressible. Such
instances are, of course, rare, but they
are familiar to almost every surgeon in
general practice. Explain tboni? I don't
attempt to."—New Orleans Times-Demo
