The origin of coffee is lost in the mists of antiquity, but the plant is be I Lieved to be a native of Abyssinia and to have been carried thence into Arabia early in the fifteenth century, whence the Meccan pilgrims soon carried it to all parts of the Mohammedan world. A bureau of commerce and labor pub lication notes that Burton in his "Anat omy of Melancholy" (1021) makes this reference to it: "Turks have a drink called coffee, so named from a berry black as soot and as bitter, which they sip up hot, because they find by experi ence that that kind of dr(pk so used helpeth digestion and promoteth alac rity.” Although brought to Venice by a phy sician in 1591, it was only in 1052 that the first coffeehouse was established In London, and it only became fashion able in Paris in 1069, says the same authority. England gradually forsook coffee for tea, but the progress of the beverage, though slower, was steadier In France. Until 1690, when the Dutch began to successfully grow coffee trees in Java from the Malibar (India) bean, all cof fee came from Arabia. The coffee cul ture of the West Indies and Central and South America had its beginnings, it is said, in a slip taken from a tree in the botanic gardens at Paris, which had obtained a vigorous growth from a cutting said to have been stolen from the botanic gardens at Amsterdam. All the plantations of the old and new world are practically derived from the specimens taken from Arabia, first to India, thence to Java and elsewhere. ANTIQUE SEVRES. Von Cob Always Diatlnsrulali the Gel* nine by Ita Gilding. False Sevres In the bric-a-brac shops Is offered as genuine by “reputable dealers” In London and Paris as well as in New York. It is old, it is true, but only as old as the “restoration” in France, although the marks would indi cate a much earlier and better period. The counterfeits may usually be de tected by the surface of the gilding. In the real it was burnished In lines by means of metal nails with rounded points, which were set In a piece of wood. The Imitations of later date than the real have been burnished in a similar manner, but with an agate. It re quired considerably more force to ob tain a bright surface by the ancient method than by the use of the agate point; hence the burnished lines in the genuine ware are perceptibly sunken, while in the counterfeit ware they are flush with the general surface of the gilding. There are other means of “spotting” the Imitations, such as the Inexact copying of the marks which have served since 1753 to denote the date of fabrication, and the use of chrome green, which was not discov ered until 1802, but the test of the burnished parts of the gilding is the easiest for the ordinary buyer.—New York Herald. The Cellar* ot Bordeaux. The cobwebs will seem to an Impres sionable visitor the noblest things in the Bordeaux oellars. Some of them look like thick pile curtains, somber in hue, of course, but famously suggestive of warmth. And with even only a moderate Imagination one may go to and fro among the barrels fancying the pendent shapes overhead are dusky stalactites Instead of the airy next to nothing as they really are. If you hold your candle high enough you may shrivel a few yards of the fabric. But that were truly a shocking deed of vandalism, for, though no layman can understand why this dismal tapestry is reverenced as it is, bis ignorance will not be held sufficient excuse for his crime,—Chambers’ Journal. Queer Little Blunders. From an account of the Doncaster (England) Art club’s annual exhibition In the Doncaster Gazette: "Miss - also goes In for portraiture. In hitting off her father’s head her intentions are good, but the execution lacks very much in artistic finish.” In the London Mail’s description of a parade In honor of the king of the Hel lenes the reporter said: "The soldiers, clad only In their scarlet tunics, pre sented an unpleasant contrast with the warmly clad members of the police force.” From the windows of a British tailor: “We have cleared a Scotch merchant’s remains of high class overcoatings at a big reduction.” Not a Born Forger. The Indorsement of checks is a very simple thing, but, as the following story will show, it, too, has its difficulties: A woman went into a bank where she had several times presented checks drawn to Mrs. Lucy B. Smith. This time the check was made to the order of Mrs. M. J. Smith—M. J. were her husband’s initials. She explained this to the paying teller and asked what she should do. “Oh, that Is all right,” he said. "Just Indorse it as it Is written there.” She took the check and, after much hesitation, said, “I don’t think I can make an M like that." Xlnlr. Animal hair differs in construction from that grown on a human head. In human hair the upper skin Is smooth and thin. The circular section is com paratively broad, forming the main part of the hair shaft. It is striped in appearance and carries the color mat ter. The tubular part is thin, extend ing to about one-fifth and certainly not more than to one-quarter of the entire width of the hair.
